Homestead in Bolivia here. Machetes? I currently have 5 I think. 2 sugar cane broad blades (my favorite) 2 normal ones , long narrow blade and one heavier Czechoslovakian orphan I came across here. Sugar cane is my go-to. For lighter work the narrow blade and for heavier duty stuff such as clearing out acacia caverns I often reach for the Czech. Sharpening with stone or angle grinder and flapper disk.most are Tramontinas and cost me around 5 to 10 USD,, depending on the exchange rate. So yeah, machetes definitely a thing here. Sometimes even for dispatching chickens or as a fire tool.

This is actually a very old idea.
I can't seem to add an image but it boils down to a cylinder with mesh, put rabbits inside and let them walk + and eat.
Google Rabbit Lawn Mower and you'll see what I mean

Hi, I wrote a book (The Captain's Glasses) which is set in After Oil era.
It has loads of ideas on alternative energy (e.g. compost showers, biodigestors, gasifiers to name but some) and agriculture incorporated in the story.
It's about an old man who lives with his daughter and her family in the house he built with all these of-the-grid ideas (there is no "grid" anymore...)
How do I go about promoting it?
