  1. You can still buy them 100,000 years later!

  2. I’ve had one of these in my survival kit for years, they are great for cutting dead wood into logs for fires if you stand on the log. But I wouldn’t like to see folk cutting live trees down with them. I don’t have any of the ones in the article but some look a bit too cheap – so keep in mind that once they snap, they are useless.

  3. Yeah, get with the program. These things are a selfish way to make your garden or yard clean and lifeless. Germany may ban them.

  4. Ahh, another type of leaf blower. The ultimate in garden narcissism. Surely we need to use suckers instead. Even angry John Humphrys goes on about them being a curse…

  6. Something like this with a hammer and billhook that detach from it.

  7. this…

  8. Just realised you can get this thing, but yeah, needs the cutter.
