I've got a sneaking suspicion that this topic couldn't pass a drug test.

Superglue was never considered a proper medical treatment; it was there as a frontline first aid thing to kinda just hold the guy together until you could evac and get him to a military hospital for proper treatment. A superglued wound won't really heal, the bond is vulnerable to breakage with lots of movement, and generally in wartime if something's hit you close enough to leave a wound that won't take care of itself there's more than your skin gonna be ****ed up.

In this case, mine closed right back up after I, ah, dealt with it. sorta a half tourniquet with a band-aid, so some blood could get in but at a rate slow enough that it had time to coagulate. Besides, ain't no ****in' way I'm supergluing anything that didn't leave an exit wound, that ****'s nasty and a fair amount probably would poison you.

Ok, you guys are lucky you veered off onto the informative superglue tangent, cause round about the end of the first page I was gearing to lock this.

Umm...ow?
WTF were you doing with a machete? I assume you live in the states or at least some sub-urban place? What were you doing with one of those? We use 'em here, but only to cut down Casha and small trees.

I have an old 3-foot machete I keep around for, well, everything. Largely because most of the other weapons I'm any good with are more or less illegal (long-range rifles and such, particularly since they've cracked down after the whole sniper thing), and out here you never know when one might come in handy. Plus, it's fun and occasionally comes in handy when an axe or chainsaw won't for some reason do the trick on brush.

I should think a machete would be a damn sight more handy than an axe or a chainsaw. I used to have a fairly decent knife but I'm not really sure what happened to it.

You would, but you'd be wrong. Machetes are for clearing out light brush like you'd get inside a forest- tree cover limits the amount and density of the low stuff. Stuff that, at least, gives you a little elbow room to swing away. What I've got to deal with 90% of the time is heavy open-terrain or edge forest stuff, grows in so dense it's like it's all one big plant. Grows faster, too, so by the time I get to it it's usually halfway to being a tree.

i always liked the 'predator' method of clearing a forest..

but yeah chainsaws may be handy for trees but not brush...
they just can't cut though them efficiently enough to be useful and they are bloody noisy as well....

axes well, trees and necks. that's all i can say about that

Stryke 9 · **Reply #51 on:** May 09, 2003, 09:02:49 pm

Not if you're using the type with the big teeth.

And yeah, but nobody ever lets me use can grenades or anything out here, so I can't even get close. And miniguns are a bit pricey. Sucks...

Turnsky · **Reply #52 on:** May 09, 2003, 09:04:59 pm

anommium(sp?) nitrate and some fuel-oil make a nice big bang... but that's another story:p

Compressed methane gas is better. The trick is to get a proper pilot light without it going off in your hand or losing pressurization and making a rather unfortunately directed flamethrower- again in your hand.

australian methods of clearing out bushland/forests:

Detonate 50,000 tons of dynomite..(true story)

Bit messy.

Unknown Target · **Reply #56 on:** May 09, 2003, 11:13:10 pm

Ja, but machetes give you that macho factor

Stryke 9 · **Reply #57 on:** May 10, 2003, 12:46:10 am

A chainsaw doesn't?
