    Words of experience and wisdom ... from an intelligent tool user. I like the scene at the end where all the "fluff" is removed before he is going to attack the rest with a chainsaw. One does not want to be stumbling around with a mass of small, leafy branches underfoot while using a chainsaw. Work wisely, folks. Terry Hale, thank you for saying what needs to be said and no more.

    One more tip for the people who don't use a machete very often. Think; before you swing. A deflecting blade may be deflected into your leg or bounce into your arm or hand.
    I sometimes use a stick to press down on the limb I'm going to chop instead of using my gloved hand. Once you get use to using a stick in this manner you'll see how handy it is. It's just another tool keeping your body parts or those working in your area totally away from the working end of a machete or any tool.

      @@brandonfoley7519 I never press. I always pull. If necessary, I afterwards go over the plot a second time and cut the rest a few centimeters above the ground with a scythe. But first, I need to go over it with the machete, because I have a steep slope and need to be able to see the surface before I start working.

    Well done. I've also used machetes for years, and have been using many of these techniques subconsciously. Very well articulated, and something here for a range of experience levels. I have heard some bushcraft guys warn against lanyards, since it's possible to have a blade pivot back around on the lanyard and strike the user. I have had that happen with a lanyard, after getting too tired and having a blade slip, but I was not cut. I tend not to use them, and stay mindful of where others are in the work area.

    Terry, here in Florida we have palms and palm branches predominantly. Dead branches frequently need to be removed as do some live ones. We use 18" Tramontina machetes for the heavy stuff along with their 12" model and 14" Bolo. All wooden handles. Contoured and wrapped with black 550 paracord. We have been back and forth on the lanyard issue. My husband has one particular 18" Tramontina he has set up for him and won't let anyone else but myself use it. The dead palm branches are a serious challenge. They are thick and when dry that edge really needs to be sharp. All the advice on technique you have shown is solid. Many of the people here use a grabat to grab at heavy vine clusters and other vegetation while cutting. It is a three acre facility with a lot of vegetation to contend with daily. My husband uses his also to level the hedges. We have been asked a few times to do a video though we don't have a proper set up for that. Great video and great techniques. Subbed and liked!

    • @terryhale9006
      @terryhale9006  Год назад +1

    This was a nice video. I went for a period of about four years where I was on crutches after leaving the service. I bought a panga machete on the end of a long handle. the upswept blade worked much as your notch. The longer handle allowed me to reach stuff on the ground without stooping. It also allowed me to reach stuff further away. I'm sure you'd agree that hopping on one foot with one crutch and a machete should be kept to a minimum.

    • @terryhale9006

    I was born in the jungles of Nicaragua. Deep in the humid heat my father raised me in the ways of the machete. I learned to hear through the language of cold steel against wood and brush. I learned to see from the angles a stone cuts into the blade. My breath was tempered by my swings and my strength gained through measuring the tool against nature. My heart has learned to beat against the tempo of a man working in the field swinging implement against the earth. Even today I hold this creed of work and iron sacred.
    This man is both humble and confident. Learn from him as I tried to learn from my father.
