The Gomboy is awesome and the fact that it fits in a hip pack makes it super useful, like that Bahco Laplander - the Silky is no doubt more effective, and slightly heavier, I'd guess? That Nordic pocket saw is interesting - I've never used one but would like to try one to see how it compares.
Anyway, yes, the BigBoy requires a backpack, and of my hydration packs, only the larger/longer ones can accommodate it. But sometimes I leave for a ride with a big pack on my back with work gloves and a few tools and it's more about the start-stop style riding you need to do when you're clearing drains and deadfall, so I don't mind.
