A strimmer is a good idea, again you need to buy a good brand 2 stroke engine type
They come in single handle or double handle,
Personally I find single handle easier to move around rather than the double handle.
For briars and the such, you can get metal cutting disks that go on the end of them, or else heads that take plastic whip
I use a head called Hawk , or something like that. Found them fantastic, you simply cut your whip to a certain length, and push it in one hole and out another. The traditional heads, came with a spring where you would wind the whip around inside it, and then pull at it to extend it once it breaks away.
I use a heavy guage square shaped whip, but im cutting grass and weeds with mine, not much briars. thats where the metal cutting disc would come in handy for you.
Also they typically come with a strap that you put over your head and hangs down to support the strimmer. I suggest buying the body harness, makes it easier on you when cutting away for a few hours.
Also you need to wear a face guard and safety glasses, as you will have dirt, stones, and shit flying at you, you will also get hit in the legs and dick with stuff
Goats do a great job aswell, but you gotta fence them in
5) Take your time
Whatever you are doing, cutting grass, cutting wood. Stop and take a break , I stop every 25 to 30 minutes. Turn off my equipment to give it a break and give it a chance to cool down. But I also stop to give myself a break. have a drink or a smoke, sit down for 5 minutes, Refuel yourself or machine.
When people rush and dont take a break, thats where accidents happen. its hard work holding onto that chainsaw or strimmer. Take a good few breaks, it will only end up costing you maybe 30 or 40 mins in the day if even that.
Also one final tip, which you go to top up the petrol in your chainsaw, also top up your chain oil. Also make sure you are putting oil in the right tank
