weapons

I am posting some information about a book I wrote while living as a road dawg/squatter. It is not about squatting, hitchin' or catching out, I had to live like that to be able to write such a book. I have been noticing some weird synchronicities over the decades especially in terms of...

Do you guys fish while on the road? I fish all the time when i can being from the pnw its a right of passage what do you fish with ? And what tackle do you use i use a two peace bamboo rod with my daiwa 7300 damn reels indestructible

I would prefer one with a sheath that can strap to a belt or something. Also are throwing knifes practical? They would be cool to have but don't seem to have much use, other than being a cheap, legal though less effective replacement for a gun.

Was reading through some of the self-defense/self-defense tools threads and thought I'd share my experience with carrying this thing as I really like it: https://blktriangle.com/collections/hard-goods/products/black-triangle-senka-available-9-15 For what it is, which is a pure self-defense...

Need something utilitarian that'll hold up a while, I don't want the blade snapping while I do something. Any ideas?

You know, I got to thinking, the knife is a fundamental tool. Not only is it a weapon, but it's also a tool. As a matter as fact, I would even argue that it is more of a tool than it is a weapon. Unless we're talking about a Bowie knife that thing's a fuckin weapon, primarily, there's no way...

I just found out black powder revolvers - real old replica six shot ones with lead balls not bullets - can be mail ordered. Mostly I just want one cause it's so fucking awesome but is it a bad idea to carry a gun like this on the road?

First off: I'm not entirely sure this is posted in the right section. If its not, feel free to let me know and/or change it. That said, in a recent post in the trainhopping subforum, it was mentioned that intermodal transport offers little to no shelter from the weather unless you can find a...

Been thinking about heading to Houston this winter to visit a friend of mine that recently moved, I live in Central Virginia Don't see any threads about guns here, is there a reason for that? I was gonna buy one soon anyways but I'd figure it'd be a good weapon for self protection and my state...

For those who tinker and toil. For infiltration and exfiltration what the hell even emergency situations! I show you my tool kit! 2 inch vise grips. Lil crescent. Razor knife. Multi tool. Fero fire stick. pencil. Water key. Multi screwdriver. Magnifying glass. Looking to find ideas to add to...

Cali seems to have a unique way of making understanding thier knife laws damn near impossible. Have looked online and the closest thing I found to making sense and not being contradictory was a lawyers site, which proceeded to tell me that different areas may enforce things differently. Wtf. I...

Does anyone have experience with a sling (not a slingshot)? I know it's a good weapon, but I want to hear if anyone has experience using one on the road, and if it's worth the time to practice

A friend just gave me one of these and it is really powerful. Took a while to find out what it was called but I finally found the website. https://www.thepocketshot.com/store/c1/Featured_Products.html Shot some rocks with it and was really impressed. Fairly new product but I will add this to my...

I've got a small (roughly like 1ft x 9inchs) dewalt bag with my drill, charger, battery, sawsall, and few other basic tools, I'd like to bring with me soon to keep money coming in. weighs maybe 20lb any pros and cons from experience?

I just got back from a few day trip out in the Elliott State Forest and while I was out there I had an idea on how to improve my troll pole. I should start by explaining that a troll pole is a device used for stoking fires. Usually metal and a few feet long, pinched off at one end; the pole...

So I read the other threads related to this idea but I have another question about it and did not want to necro old threads. So, I know, the greatest weapon is my mind and to learn how to avoid dangerous situations and places. Yet the few times Ive had the shit kicked out of me, I regretted not...

It'll be on the side of my backpack so it won't be concealed. And i also have a bunch of camping gear such as a tarp, tent, sleepign bag ect.. I'm wondering if anyone had a problem from the police. I'm also a felon. Also can i carry a pocket knife under 4ins in my pocket if im a felon.

hidy Im a person that likes to take care of their knife, even if it means extra weight on my back. Ive spent countless hours over the years obsessing over the sharpness of my favorite knife, trying to make a blade razor sharp with inadequate sharpening tools. Ive since gained some intuitive...

I need one of these. How hard would it be to fabricate? I don't actually need the hook I need to shoot a weight over something and hoist a flag.

I've got a belt folding knife and some tools I've collected for various reasons in my back pack. I'd like to lose the weight and get a multi tool that is good enough. I'm thinking about a Stanley? It's cheep enough and good enough.? Not sure. Ideas??
