I've got an 18" spear point machete among other things on the way. The SOG has a short blade. I just bought it for my ultra light pack.The Urban Survivalisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02152463957382927413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-359115408034187666.post-91501841610847549892010-06-26T07:07:16.210-06:002010-06-26T07:07:16.210-06:00Cold steel has machetes on sale for like 10 bucks....Cold steel has machetes on sale for like 10 bucks. They are normally almost 40. Also lots of quality knives on great sales. There is a minimum purchase and $9 or so S&H so not worth it if you just wanted one. However if you wanted to stash say a quality machete and knife per person at a great discount this would be a good time to do it.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09612373437033635765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-359115408034187666.post-78706869640319318782010-06-26T05:30:17.981-06:002010-06-26T05:30:17.981-06:00Machetes can be wickedly dangerous, that's for...Machetes can be wickedly dangerous, that's for sure. Be especially careful of the "swing-through" while cutting brush and stuff. It's easy to get your knee or shin this way. I also once took a fellow survey crew member to the emergency room after he nearly cut his index finger off trying to use the machete to split the end of a survey stake (that he was holding upright)and missed. <br /><br />An emergency first-aid measure that I will be posting about soon on Bug Out Survival is the old woodsman's trick of using thick pine sap to seal a wound. It saved me once with a cut that normally would have required stitches. Healed cleaner than any cut I've ever had too.Scott B.
