Thread: best tool for aiding with bush bashing

Just wondering if anyone has any opinions on the best tool to have on hand for helping off track exploring. I'm specifically thinking back to last time i gave it a go and got tangled up in a nightmare of supple jack, but it really goes for all the typical things you'd run into. I guess the choices are the usual suspects of knife, axe, machete, and saw, but i saw somewhere some military guy mentioned taking a pair of secateurs with them and it got me thinking that maybe there's other options out there which work well (billhook? who knows). I'd actually be surprised if simple secateurs were up to getting through supplejack as its so hard, anyone tried it ?
