Use a 2 minute sand timer, works every time.

Man that fair guy is on another level honestly. When I first started cutting I used a saw for everything too and it made me sloppy with my knife work. What helped me was getting a few cheap hogs and forcing myself to do the whole thing by hand, just slow and steady. It sucks at first and your forearms will hate you but after a couple hogs you start to feel where the joints actually are. The saw still has its place for splitting and big cuts but doing the breakdown by hand taught me way more about the animal than the saw ever did.

Whoa, water that fell before your grandparents were born? That is seriously wild to think about.
