Branches require Too Much Time and Calories to Harvest

+1 for making breaking branches faster and adding more sticks for the effort. I think each stick is about 1" in diameter by 18" length so in a big fire, it doesn't add much burn time so the burn time for a stick is about right. Sticks in real life burn faster than chunks of wood. I wish we had an axe for faster harvesting of wood and for felling trees. Also a saw would be nice. Perhaps a nice Swede saw.

Or maybe these ones in the odd glove compartment or in the aircraft wreck.

^ Those things kinda suck. They like to break whenever you pull on them at an odd angle, or if there is a kink in the wire. The "Swede Saw" is better in almost every way. I've made one in real life, and I love it.

I agree the saw with just the two rings, it breaks really easy. Doesn't cut very well either.

Having a compact saw like the Swede Saw or just a generic folding camp saw would be great.

They are a PITA that way, but I always had one in my backpack when I was out hunting. You had to be careful how you used them, but I've opened a few moose ribcages with them.

Agreement from me.

+1 for: Halve the time to harvest and double the yield.

This is Canada, eh? we don't have them new fangled folding saws here too much but I have seen them on the worldy pipe. ;-)
