When the flora attack

[not2sharp]

It is time to forget about the zombie apocalypse. They never existed in the first place and we have all been focused on those large camp knives and choppers all along. As a civilization we were all traumatized by Day of the Triffids, or lesser flicks like Navy vs the Night Monsters or Invasion of the Body Snackers (Snatchers!). We still expect to visit a strange new world where giant versions of the Venus fly trap await us like so many gourmet morsels. Or, it was those walking and talking Ent philosophers from Tolkien that have you spooked. Regardless, we are collectively ready to take on the flora apocalypse. Those walking trees don’t stand a chance. We can chop and baton our way through a forest of them.

So let’s talk about those “weapons”. Show us what you will use to defend yourself when trees attack……

I have a Golok, a Bushcraft Parang and two Mini Dukus from Condor, and a Cold Steel Garden and Camp machete. Plus a couple of Silky Katanaboys, a Gomboy, a Zubat, a Pocketboy, about seven sickles, a scythe, pretty much the complete Hultafors axe lineup, a Makita chainsaw and a weed whacker. Bring it on!

Looks like you are good to go to rescue a coed from demonic trees…(here is a family friendly redo of the famous scene in The Evil Dead)

This is an important thread !! Trees are everywhere, and people don't realize just how many of them there are.

Once you get out of cities and gardens they become quite menacing.

I take it very seriously. My tree-hunting rig for when the treepocalypse comes.

The little ones are susceptible to a frenzied and repeated chopping motion.

But the big ones can be difficult to deal with.

Actually I'm not sure they even notice what you're doing.

This is how I've learnt to take on the big ones.

The aftermath of a successful kill.

Butchering after the hunt.

The head of a slain woody demon.

There is no smell more pleasant than the burning heart of a fresh kill.

But even after they are dead, beware they have minions !!

22" ontario ct5... and I have a nice old axe for anything larger : )

 

[not2sharp]

The Hoodlum by Bill Siegle has always been an ideal tree slaying knife.

I’ll have a big fat line of what not2sharp is having.

N2s does not want to give the enemy useful tactical information.

Since I got beat to the "Wizard of Oz" reference: I had to pill this one out...

[not2sharp]

this will do:


Or this even bigger bowie:


...And should it come down to WMDs; I'll break out my MWD (massive wood destruction) tool.

For intelligence gathering, we want something to peal off the bark until they seep.

The best I could do is prune the attackers into a more desirable shape, or to keep them away from power lines

 

[Bob Denman]

With a name like "Razor Tooth": you should get some Tee-shirts to go along with it!

 

[Alberta Ed]

I dunno... ents can stomp on 'ya before you can get in a good whack at 'em, so I'd just stay away from those, maybe pack a scythe for the soft stemmed stuff. Or a flame thrower.

Once the Lumberjacks Kill the offending trees: let this "little nasty" clean up the carcasses

 

[Arathol]

Now there’s no more Oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet,
Axe,
And saw…
