I like the way you Brits do videos to the point and no nonsense..from across the pond.

Great work. The info on keeping the wood and chopping behind the leg, as well as using leverage for splitting were helpful to me... thanks for your time...

Thanks Ben for taking the time to teach proper techniques to use, so people can enjoy a better time in the woods. Well done. God Bless

Always think before you cut...Great advice

Fabulous demonstration. Thank you Ben :)

nice to see a fellow woodsman using a parang safely and efficiently . have to say its a great parang and has become my favourite tool since getting one at the bushcraft show.

Great tutorial , and finally, pointed out the risk associated with using the lanyards.

I appreciate your idea of securing the parang with a lanyard!

You are now switched on dude , love your work.

Wow, awesome video. Thank you. Great techniques.

Well done and needed

Thank you for an excellent video!!

This was super informative. To be honest I wasn't the most familiar with Parangs but am interested in many machete type chopping blades and a lot of these techniques can definetely be applied.

Very informative video. Thank you for sharing.

Awesome parang. You're quite handy with that. Thanks for sharing.

Nicely done. no god complex, just careful teaching. A+

i have to say i have never used a parang but look like a great all around tool for bush craft im going to look into it some more 5 stars

Thanks good video

very nice. i was just on your website, and i plan to purchase one in the near future.

Bloody brilliant Ben! How anyone could give this a thumbs down is beyond me.

Brilliant, thank you!

Hey, great info on these choppers. Is that the Condor Warlock Machete? Thanks! Cheers

Très bonne démonstration. Pourriez nous nous communiquer la marque du Parang que vous utiliser.. En vous remerciant et vous souhaitant bonne continuations pour nous offrir à nouveaux d'autres vidéos démonstratives..

What a great video. Great shots. I wonder how many takes it took? All I need now is a parang.

great video!

Great vid

Thanks for the video.

Nice video bro .. i had used this parang when i was 7 yrs old.

Reminds me of the time I accompanied my father to clear the orchard. His parang was a lot longer though, about the length of his leg. I wonder if it's still sharp.

Good video! Very small parang, very sharp but does a fantastic job! 🍻 BB

thank you sir

Thank you for the Lesson, this can apply with any use of any knife, (I take it!)

nice vid

Good content. Thank you.

Very good message here. It's refreshing to see ppl on here who isn't all gung ho and is giving ppl very good useful info. You look pretty nifty with that tool, it looks and sounds sharp and solid

Some of these seem obvious and simple, but I wouldn't be surprised at the number of people who've hurt themselves while using this tool. Good video, sir.

Thankz so much!

Job well done

thanks so much !!!

thanks for the grip tip

Say Heah Mr. Ben. Just dropped in to say Hell-O, Nice to see you again.,, .

Where did you get that one? The sheath is wonderful.

Love the Pocket Parang!!

Thanks again

What do you use to sharpen it? Thanks!

Thanks a lot

I've seen your stuff , expensive (for me ) but beautiful . You know your stuff and I hope you have financial success because you have clearly found your place in the scheme of things ...:-)

Thank you

Great technique what is your sharpening method?

Where did you get your Parang? How can I get one just like that?

yeah I can't afford this one but I found 2 that I like they are both made by condor and made of 1075 steel one is the bushcraft parang I could buy it for 37.00 but I like the village parang also it is 46.00 I think this will be a good starting point to see if I like the tool. I will buy a nice one later

very nice wich parang

We missed you at the Royal Norfolk Show this year.

Thankyou for making a great tutorial on parang safety and use. It’s a really nice tool there. Strong handle. But the price is too steep for me. I’m just a blue collar guy that likes going out into the woods. Still an impressive tool. Is the warranty unconditional?

nice video as always ;)

Thanks,my machete is not quite Parang shaped but I believe the techniques shown will work fine. New stuff to practice. 😀

How long this parang?

g'day. you wield the parang with experience. a controlled manner and letting the blade and physics does most of the work. nice parang too.

Hi, I wanted to know based on your experience if this is a great parang for bushcraft / survival in nature? Would it be your choice as a long blade for a wilderness trip? Let me know what you think, Michele.

anyone know where I can buy this parang

I really like this Parang style, however why is the one you offer on your website design changed?

whats the name of that parang?

Bravo❤

that my technique of chopping large stems or branches, most people prefer attacking only one side until it breaks the stem but it is very tiring

I have just tried using jojoba oil for arkansas. What a joy. And its edible so no washing of mineral oil

What if the parang has a longer bigger blade

what model of parang did you used in this video?

excellent! But where can I get the parang you used in this demo, or likee it

how can i buy this parang??...i don't see it in the site...i really want it

Ben,as the video dwells on safety while using the parang I'd like to make a comment on the safe way to remove and replace a parang from its sheath - even though your parang's sheath is not a conventional one. When removing and replacing the parang, the dayaks who were the originators of this style of parang (called the duku chandung or Ray Mears style) never hold on to the bottom part of the sheath as a safety measure in case the bottom of sheath has been cut through. In which case your hand can be badly cut by the blade as it slides back into the sheath. Instead the sheath is always held by the top portion.Just an observation. No offence meant,

who makes the parang your using in the video?

Could I bye one Ben

Anyone know the blade length

What brand and model is this parang?

What's a "parang" with the cutting edge on the other (concave) side called?

IMO a large blade should have a lanyard, and be looped up every time you use the tool. Other then that good tips,

Ben hope you are well i was trying to click the website above and it wont open and dont know your email either i woul to order from you that same parang kindly send me your email thanks

no i just like them about 22 in

Is that a machete made in Malaysia? Parang duku?

Interesting. Well, there are other ways to cut safely using the parang. As long as you're swinging the blade away from you, you'll be fine. If the arc returns towards your body, just make sure there is something heavy in the way. Nice way to use the lanyard though. Personally like most locals I don't use the lanyard.

Most of this seems like common sense to me...

3:44 that technique is only for bamboo splitting, not for wood splitting

My uncle in the Philippines taught me how to use a parang. He would simply say, “swing away from your body.”

I know what your saying, but people probably dislike it because of "the way" you put it. I've had that problem my whole life, but i'm trying to say things with a little more tact. Your totally aloud to say whatever you want but people will take you more seriously if your nicer. It's just a knife video.

nice tips. but yes, as always: folding saw, axe. for cutting of or trough thin limbs use a hook shaped machete style knife. no sense or need using just one tool for all.

that sure is a small parang

Anybody that needs these instructions shouldn't be allowed to possess an edged tool.
