I happened to come across this thread today, and was wondering if anybody has made a real useful video.
Yeah, I've seen a couple of videos on youtube, but they're not quite as informative, or showing real application use as this one from the Fiddleback Machete.
Reason for my request is that I'm stuck between the FM and the Junglas. As of right now I'm very convinced with the FM, However if the Junglas shows equal or better performance, I would much rather have the Junglas.
I don't know if its just me, but its amazing how deep the FM bites.

Youtube has quite a few, but unfortunately many of them are just a "look at this new big knife from ESEE". The one Mannlicher posted is probably the best example of the sheer chopping power of the Junglas. I will admit though, that FM had quite impressive bite...

I guess we still have to wait on someone to make a video specifically tailored to your question before you can decide. Or you know... get both.... ;)

This is exactly what i was talking about. Not really a REAL LIFE APPLICATION video. I mean it is neat to see the performance and power, but I like to see the FM video of how long it took him to process the wood, and actually get some feather sticks, and just plain ole wood processing. Not quite a "let me wear myself out chopping this tree video".
 
Youtube is a great resource, sometimes. It seems like at some point someone will post a good review/instructional video. Then a thousand different people decide that they could be cool by "reviewing" or "teaching" the same skill. Only, instead of being skilled and knowledgeable teachers/reviewers they're just people who watched a video, bought the product in the video, and have a camera and internet connection.

All that said, I have nothing to offer you, but I feel your pain. Let us commence commiseration!

God Bless,
Adam

That was the fire wood we were processing for the nights fire.I didn't want to burn the whole log because it was a campsite along a well used trail.We saved it for the next hikers to come by and use.That fire dried our clothes,cooked our meals and kept us warm.I can't think of a more real life application than that.

P.S. I did spread some peanut butter with the Junglas later that night.
