Rat Machete use lecture

This video is the lecture on Machete use, by Aguilar, senior instructor for Randall Adventure Training, RAT. Aguilar explains the benefits of a machete in the jungle. The 17 machete that he has in his hands is a Bellota. RAT training is administered by the same makers and designers of RAT cutlery. They will be conducting many classes in the states, in the upcoming future

awesome, good enough to revisit again this year if I can swing it.

Excellent instruction! Nothing in nature has a 20 inch steel tooth like a man with a machete. Here in Central Brazil we use shorter machetes, the long blades are rarely necessary. They are either in the sheath or in the hand, no options on that rule. I got a kick out of the ant shower warning, been there done that, got the welts. Nature teaches like a Nun with a ruler.

I learned that trip with paper wasps. Evil Hymenoptera abound.

How was that course? I was thinking about doing it!

@Colhane Interesting, what do you think of the special forces blade/golok/perang? it's shorter and thicker for heavier use ....might be a better choice
