The amount of ivy is quite startling on the trail. Another one of my pass times was pulling at ivy. When I would be really tired I could find the biggest ivy vine and tear at it. I felt like it was a positive thing to do, just maybe give the tree some brief relief. On the other hand a large amount of time was spent slicing through tall plants. It was an evil activity but I was addicted. I would throw rocks to take down big stalked plants but I always would miss. My biggest enemy was this one specific invasive euphorbia but I only found it a couple times. I would get my dagger sticks and just take out poor harmless weeds while walking. If i disnt have a weaponized stick, then I would use my broken feet to kick at a plant.
