  • what if vegetation is in the way of vegetation? lol

  • @MegaFilmpro

    'Cause I'm sure he didn't notice how the locals were dressed... My uncle wears long sleeves to work out in the hot sun; he had some melanomas removed several years back and can't risk more sun damage. Then there are bugs...

  • @MegaFilmpro I believe he wears those things to protect himself from insects, sharp sticks and leaves and plants similar to nettles or poison ivy while walking through thick brush.

  • @MegaFilmpro The indians are acclimated to the area and the bugs don't bother them the way they do someone from outside the area. Protect from bugs, scrapes and scratches.

  • @familyphotoshoot A short story about that- some machete models were unissued in the ww2, in the pacific jungle theater, because it would give the position away. that's why most machetes got a bit shorter and thicker.

  • this parang is from malaysia.

  • Long pants and a Long Sleeve Shirt!?! in the AMAZON!!! Ray I suggest you see how much the Indians wear if you don't want to sweat profusely.

  • @OKbushcraft get the "condor parang" very good price and quality.

  • we have different kind of machete here in the phil , in different design, dahong palay, ginunting,sinampalok.kris, barong palas,etc.....

  • we have a lot of that in the phil.
