I'd take my S6 over my DF every time. The DF is too big and heavy to take hiking, my S6 with a big folding saw (from a supermarket of all places!) weighs less and are more useful/versatile. The big choil helps the DF but it just doesn't work as well as the S6. I've got a Busse Badger on order for times when the S6 is a bit too big- but a DM would be a good Badger alternative..

Easy terrain day hiking I just take my SS4 instead of a bigger 'fixed' but always take the saw..
