It is impressive the way they'll work together, like a machine! I watched a guy looked to be in his '40's, small but all muscle, trim a big tree, with a machete, while his teenaged kid would lower the branches down by rope. "Jale, jale" the older guy would yell to him. He was like a monkey in the tree, barefoot and cut the branches in the right order so he'd always have the one below to stand on. I tried using his machete, it was not easy at all!
