HAHA, I never realized how well the shirt and limb blended together. Never Fear Marine, the only part of my body to touch the limb was the hand holding it as I chopped with the other.
I probably would have been a lot better off chopping back further on the branch where it was thicker. Would have been less chopping, but the ticks are already out IN FORCE and I didn't want to get out in the weeds any more than necessary.
