Does anyone know the name of this broad leafed vine?:confused: I'd like to know what to call them when I'm cursing at them on a bushwhack. This pic was taken from Downes Brook trail (not a bushwhack) but I've ran into thick, ankle grabbing, areas of these guys on PATN and Scar Ridge. -Thanks

Definitely looks like Hobblebush. The Zealand Notch area has man eating Hobblebush.:eek: Thick hobblebush is a bitch to push through.
 
hobblebush has redeeming qualities though! it is the world's best toilet paper.

Great. So in addition to used toilet paper we need to start keeping an eye out for crap stained leaves brushing against us while we're hiking? I foresee a sequel to bushwhack's popular "Poop In The Campsite" play. :)
