Flight 4 Life run more than that, if serious bite happened

I have a relative who used to work for this company:

The material they used combined with the weave they engineered made a material called "Turtleskin"

It has a multitude of applications.
You may want to look at the glove selector:

I have seen the law enforcement gloves demonstrated, a surgical needle won't penetrate it will bend!

Depends on the tractor...

Called a boom mower... I'd love to have one here in TX, great for mowing ditches without driving in it- some never dry up here.

That's a bit spendy...

Instead of reaching in and pulling out weeds, get a long-handled Cobrahead. Works great!

That would be the answer for many weds. Unfortunately, the evil thistles that he's been battling have to be ripped out by the roots.

But I think I will buy my neighbor a Cobrahead for Christmas. Thanks!

Unions hate them and they are carbon neutral (as if I care about that).

I use it on Scotch thistle (and mullein, dandelion, myrtle spurge) with good success, as long as the soil is moist. It can pull up a good tap root with ease and a satisfying pop. In dry soil, no matter what you do, the root is gonna snap and the weed will eventually come back.

...and they're as much fun to watch as Saturday morning cartoons.

When I lived in a more rural setting, the neighbors had goats. All they ever did was water their yard. When I climbed the mountain behind our properties, I could easily see how much better their yard looked compared to everyone else's.
