For supplejack (aka cu**vine - there are bush and shrub versions in stinging nettle and hookgrass) the secateurs are the go but you want the ones with mechanical advantage in them as they get a bit hard on the hands after a while. There's a technique for hunting with them, tuck your cutting arm over the vine holding it with your shoulder and other side of the cut with your free hand so the vine doesn't whip away after you cut the thing. That crack will put everything on notice, as it's not a normal bush sound.
