Get your throwing axe, and practice, practice, practice. You might want to order an extra handle when you order the axe.
I don't know what kind of saw you're looking for, but ease into it. Find out what the rules, and limits are at the shows you intend to go to. Go to a few show's and talk to the competitors. Sometimes some of them may have saw's they want to sell.
Get info on those shows before you buy a saw, or you could end up with a lot of money tied up in a saw you can't use.
