Machetes

If you were suddenly castaway on a desert island or stranded in the wilderness or a jungle, what’s the one tool you would want at your side? The answer is a good survival machete. You see the machete knife, over the last three centuries, has proven to be the ultimate outdoor and survival tool. It will cut, chop, slash, hack, split, scrape, scoop, hammer, dig, crush, carve, whittle, crack or smash just about anything you can put in front of it. The bolo or kukri machetes also make a deadly improvised weapon. It can be used to kill both fish and game and will gut, scale, filet, skin, quarter, and butcher them for the table as well. And when you look at its meager cost, it’s got to be one of the best bargains for hard earned cash in the world. In fact a jungle machete is so cheap and useful that even the poorest peasant in South America or tribesman in Africa invariably owns one and counts on it as one of his most precious possessions.
