Human: Please generate a brief description of a thorny wilderness setting with a machete, plants, axe, thorns, and bushes. Assistant: 
Tough, hardy bushes with thick leaves and nasty thorns scrabble toward the pathway, but fall short by several handlengths. The fresh markings of a well-applied machete or axe have cut a ruthless path through the brush, much to the woe of the plants that would cling to the flesh of passersby foolish enough to push through too quickly.
