I am heading out on Wednesday for a 30 mile hike on the BMT. I have been reading older posts about plant overgrowth crowding the trail.
Would it make sense to bring a 2 pound machete along with me to help clear plants encroaching on the trail?
Is it even allowed? Is that something that someone shouldn't do in order to keep the trail pristine?
These are questions I have never thought about before. Any feedback would be appreciated.
