Parangs are well balanced and suited for a list of tasks. Make furniture, cut meat, harvest cane, cut kindling, splice rope... They are a light, but stout tool that easily straps to the side of a backpack, or stashed in the cab of your vehicle.

According to Wikepedia…”Parang are recorded being used in attacks against the British and Japanese.
They are typically carried as weapons by gang members and robbers in Malaysia, Singapore, India, and Sri Lanka, due to these countries having strict gun laws.
Parangs were used by North Borneo guerillas against the Japanese in the Jesselton Revolt during the Japanese occupation of British Borneo.”
