Too much effort. Better to carry a GomBoy 300 and a machete.

It’s a large knife for clearing brush, similar to a cane knife. After small saplings are felled they’re grabbed with the hook.

Why not just carry a one of these bad boys and call it a day?
>Inb4 reee the handle is plastic
Just get one with a wooden handle.

That hook is sharpened so it is just a retarded version of what we in Finland call "vesuri", or billhook in English.

Why is the hook sharpened?
Something like this >>2372034 is better suited because you'll get a more useful edge than some freakazoid hatchet-machete hybrid grind. I imagine it falls in the same category as hatchets with bushcraft: cool looking decorations, but entirely worthless and not smart to pack with you.

I liked them before the Amish bought them and made them 3x as expensive. No reason to pay so much for a yard tool

It's sharpened so it can cut vines

The hook is meant for vines and briers.

Do any of you actually plan on foraging for vegetation? No? Then don't pack this (to you) useless tool. Yes? Then pack this (to you) indispensable tool. badda-bing, badda-boom.

always thought billhooks were sexy. Usefulness depends on what you're doing though.

camping? probably not.
hiking? maybe. depends how much brush you're having to clear.

as a property owner though, they are great for limbing trees and clearing blackberry canes. machetes are okay, but they're usually pretty light, hatchets are good for limbing; not so much for brush.
billhook like that can do both quite well desu.

i carried a machete for a long time, then a saw, and now I use an axe. a quality sharp axe combined with the skill to use it is pretty good. you can get through most obstacles in 3 or 4 chops, and if you keep it sharp you can easily use it for brush like a machete. also, unlike a saw you really don't have to worry about breaking it. its a jack of all trades. master of none situation.

The PAL is a very useful tool in the field, if you know how to use it..which most people here obviously dont...given that it's a 41 design meant for use in the pacific Islands by troops I get it..you can use it for any camp chores from clearing your site to cutting firewood to a fucking spatula. Get older military type with the handguard though..will save your knuckles..
