Brushing, digging, researching, compiling, considering, assembling evidence.

Very easy to use. They cut bigger trees (up to 10"), all the yaupon around here, smaller tree branches, etc. You still would want a machete when cutting weeds and grass but it is still pretty good at that also.
The best things are that it is much safer than a machete and you will be nowhere near as tired at the end of the day.

This is like arguing about slot versus philips. Use the tool best suited for the job at hand. Some days its a machete, some its a saw...
I'm back to a machete more than anyting now. I used a bush hook for years, but my bad habit of swinging it one handed all the time caught up to me. I got a bad case of tendonitis in my elbow and had to give it a break. It did get broke out today though to clear out some sawbriar....right tool for the job.
Now, for the "Pacific NW"...... That's always been a pet peeve of mine, lol. Russia is the Pacific NW, Washington, Oregon.....That's the Pacific NE. I guess if it's just the NW part y'all are stoked about then I guess I would be OK with you calling it the American NW?ÿ ??ÿ
Dagnabbit...there is only one Northwest in the US, those in Washington and Oregon are usurpers of the name?ÿ ??ÿ
I still have my Collins machete from 1974.

The way I understand it; after moving to Washington in 1990. We are the part of the Northwest next to the Pacific Ocean. I lived in Coeur d'Alene Idaho, briefly, before moving to Puyallup, and they were The Inland Northwest. There's a huge difference...
Exactly, Idaho's Basis Of Bearings is the United States ergo "Inland North West" while Wash/Ore Basis Of Bearings is the Pacific and should therefore be North East and not North West.

HUH?
Use the US as a reference and Idaho is in the NW quadrant.
Use the Pacific as a reference and Washington/Oregon is in the NE quadrant.
?ÿ
Use the US (Terra Firma) as a reference; Oregon, Washington and Idaho are all in the NW quadrant. Idaho is inland; Oregon and Washington are adjacent to the Pacific Ocean.
Use the Pacific Ocean (The High Seas) as a reference; you are out in the water...
Shouldn't this be in the P&R category?
