Red, that is a Cold Steel brand machete and the blade itself is 24 inches NOT including the handle. When it came, I couldn't believe it was that long. It looked like I was set to lop off zombie heads like the black girl on “Walking Dead”.
If you “stole” my tomatoes, I could also get you with my Walther pellet handgun. That is to take out squirrels (or birds) that would get my food if TSHTF. I already have a young squirrel getting in there and if he eats my food, his days are numbered.
If you tell me you are coming to see me, ignore the mat in front of the door that reads, “Come Back With A Warrant”. I will let you in to meet my 5 lb. Yorkie who loves everyone, and I'll give you a tomato (after they get ripe which they are not right now).
“if he eats my food, his days are numbered.”
He IS food.
