I just this winter learned about "chop and drop". I have used a machete, a bush axe, and a Black & Decker "alligator". Someone recently mentioned that you can use a reciprocating saw with a pruning blade, so I may add one of those to my tool arsenal. A shredder would be handy, but maybe unwieildy for a smallish person.
Metrosideros, do you have any favorite chop and drop tools?
