hand held plumbers propane torch will also work really well with out setting it all ablaze. keep a hose nearby if needed.
BP, this is not directed at you but many of the posts in this thread really seem like overkill- or am I missing something? 30 feet is all we're talking about. Hell, worst case scenario he could cut that with a shovel.
I like 4X4's brush ax but the one I posted allows you to stand much farther and not get up into it so much.

Sometimes the easiest ways aren't as fun as fire and mechanized cutting apparatuses.

I've cut a lot of stuff with a chainsaw, and I can say that cutting vines is just barely less worse than cutting creosote. They sling everywhere and jam up the saw all of the time. Not fun and not safe for a novice

Oh I love me a ditch bank knife too but I have sliced through a chain link fence with one.
best option get a pair of gloves and pull that shite out by hand.

Those short handled brush axes are better if you want to be more precise with your swing and not just flailing around clearing a trail in the woods.

I would guess there is a lot of poison ivy in that. I probably would not be pulling it out by hand before cutting and letting it dry out a while, or poisoning it with brush killer.

Looks like you just trimmed around it. Wait a couple weeks til it has new growth and spray it and kill it. Then wait a month and it will come out much easier by hand when it's not green and tough.

I couldn't see the fence for the vines in the pic.
I would still be careful and use a brush blade to cut it at ground level after I sprayed the shite out of it with glyphosate (and let it dry out and die).

Dead dry poison ivy plants will still cause the rash. The oil in plant, urishol, that causes the rash is still there.
