    i used a scythe once at the family summer get-away cabin to cut the way too long grass while wearing a black skirt, a black top and a wide brimmed black hat.

    Felt like I was a boss in Bloodborne for a minute there comfy-cool

    Scythes are underrated, in certain situations they are way faster and efficient than a string trimmer. Like when I see people maintenance mowing meadows with a string trimmer I feel so bad for them. But good luck clearing around garden beds with a scythe.

    Having said that I would have never considered buying one if it weren’t for cranks like these and they’re completely harmless as far as those things go so 🤷

    There’s another guy (I think) who has consistently won speed mowing competitions using a scythe, and his channel is a joy to watch.

      there’s at least a third one, a swedish (i think) dude super into scything to restore meadows. mowing apparently wrecks the shit out of them.

        I think that’s the one! He’s really into speed mowing and regular mowing.

        I’ve also been lucky to meet some amazing folks who do the same but don’t have a YouTube channel. They’re just mountain people maintaining meadows through transhumance.

        That is very niche, so much so I don’t even know what the word for that kind of wire fence would be in Spanish.

      i mean yeah, it’s manual labor. the flesh is temporary. i don’t think lugging around a weed wacker is much better for you, and it’s definitely better than a push mower.
