[QUOTE="Jon K., post: 669039, member: 22460"] A good machete is really all you need. Spend a couple of bucks and get an "Ontario" brand. The only other brand to be considered is a "Collins", but they are a bit too flexible for my tastes. Do not, under any circumstanses get a cheap blade. Be sure to get a good sheath for it. If you are walking; the sheath can go on your belt. If you are riding at all; I have had good results with duct-taping the sheath to my pants leg. Down low, so the end of the blade is about level with your ankle. If you can't cut it with a machete; leave it standing. Carry a stone with you to keep the blade razor sharp, and be very, very careful. Do not allow anyone to walk up behind you, and realize that at any moment; you could "throw away" your blade. If you use a bench grinder on your blade; you will go straight to Hades. And don't cut into the dirt. This is difficult, especially if you need to cut something close to the ground. Some people are careful to use only the tip of the blade to cut into the dirt, and keep the rest of the blade sharp. You must learn to use the knife with either hand. After a year or two of practice; you will develope some real skill with a blade. Sort of a "Machete Ninja". Great fun! Here's a fun trick. If you have a few buddies with you, carry a little squeeze bottle of fake blood with you. When you get away from your buddies; place the squeeze bottle in your hand and wrap it with a rag. As your buddies walk up; the conversation should go something like this: "What's the matter with you?" "I cut my hand with my knife!!" "How bad is it?" "I don't know. It's bad. I am scared to look!" Slowly unwrap the hand, and at just the right moment; squeeze the bottle so that the fake blood skeets out. For the best affect; squeeze at about 80 beat a minute. Works every time! :p Under the best of conditions; at least one of your buddies will actually faint out on the ground. [/QUOTE]
