Would this work in a self-defense situation innawoods?
>>2880121no, but it would work perfectly in a self-offense situation. trust me, i know.
Personally I never go on a real hike without my dai-katana, but sometimes I will go on quick half day hikes with just my wakizashi
>>2880121dork! (dork)
Someone post the gay hatchet guy.
>>2880121A weapon is only as good as its operator but at the end of the day armed person beats unarmed person almost every single time. The question could also come down to how feasible it is for you to swing that around in a danger situation. Somebody truly dangerous sees you have that hatchet and they might wait to engage you until a situation where your hatchet is less usefulBut let’s be real. No autistic man is getting stalked to that level while hiking in the woods. It’s not like some other autist is going to show up with a fucking lance to outrange your hatchet kek
>>2880138>Somebody truly dangerous sees you have that hatchet and they might wait to engage you until a situation where your hatchet is less usefulWhich scenario could lead to something like that?
>>2880139Lmao pretty much none. I was trying to express that>can I properly defend myself with this weapon?And >can I feel safe in the woods with this as my method of self defense?Are two different questions. Somebody stalking you like that would have to REALLY want to kill you. And if they wanted it that goddamn badly then they’d probably come armed themselves with a firearm. Getting stalked and then fighting like that would only be the one in a trillion situation of meeting the worst possible psycho serial killer at the worst possible time. Probably more likely to win the lottery.
>>2880140Oooh, okay that makes sense, yeah kek I'm a bit afraid to go and camp by myself so I was thinking about getting a hatched because if the police were to stop me I could always say it's to cut branches, wood or so but in reality I'm just paranoid, I probably have watched too many horror moviesI really want to start camping, though, I feel like I need to start enjoying my own company and I wanna get away from civilization more often
>>2880121
>>2880142>I'm just paranoid, I probably have watched too many horror moviesThis is definitely the case. Once you do it a few times you’ll know what to expect and feel a lot safer. That whole edge of the unknown always makes things feel more dangerous. But camping is very knowable and being outside by yourself is probably some of the safest you’re ever going to be. Also if you’ve got a dog of any kind just bring ‘em. I’ve had my own dog since I was really young so it’s hard for me to imagine doing anything outside without a dog present. It’s really nice to outsource stuff like listening for rustles or watching out for weird smells to them. Also my current lab I taught to show me that way back to the trail from some off trail point. It’s useful because I tend to wander off the trail and forget because I was looking at plants/mushrooms.
>>2880142why don't you just get a gun?
>>2880172he probably isn't allowed within 300 feet of an elementary school
>>2880173They sell guns at elementary schools?
>>2880121its a lot better than nothing
>>2880269Yeah the black kids steal them from home and resell for pennies on the dollar
>>2880121I prefer a good two-handed heavy machete.
>>2880453>Needs two hands to wield a machete>ISHYGDDTHow much of a weak dick are you captain limp wrist?
>>2880138sometimes an unarmed person can disarm an armed person and become the armed person
>>2880121there better ways grasshopper
