Hiking Pole Bayonet Project

“I ran across this site doing a search for lightweight backpacking.
The Hiking Pole Bayonet Project
Takes a long time to load all the pixs.
I think this guy is serious about this do it yourself project.”

“Do they call him "Quick draw"?”

“If someone is crazy enough to hike several miles into the wilderness to attack me, I am not sure the bayonet would do much good.”

“I didn't go to the site, but I *think* I've had a similar idea.

I've considered modifying a hardwood hiking staff with a bayonet bracket. I'd be able to afix the bayonet in a fix, ie, a bear situation, or a reptile dysfunction (gator sitch), or even coyotes.

If Belle should ever be attacked, I'd like to be better able to defend her...”

“I prefer a brace of hand grenades. They can double if you need to fish a lake, or for celebratory situation where you want to make noise. Also good for scaring off Boy Scouts and New Yorkers. That last works better if you walk up to them with a grenade ring and pin clenched in your teeth and mutter, "Not again, ... And so f***ing soon!"”

“LMAO@geo
frag grenades are nice...but no good for site protection...that's why i always try to carry 2 claymore mines..in a pinch you can also chuck them downhill at advancing yuppies.

have you ever seen what a tent does when you pop smoke in it?”

“I liked the single-shot shotgun hiking poles idea better. I'm still going to do that some day.”

“The problem with Claymores is that it takes time to site and set them up. Grenades are good for those spontaneous situations where you just cruise up on somebody who looks suspicious - you know, darting eyes, Exxon emblems emblazed on their gear, Save the Coal Miners bumper stickers on the back of the pack, More wind power for the Dolly Sods slogans embroidered on their Gore Tex jacket, those kinds of situations that just materialize all of a sudden and you have to act RIGHT NOW!”

“Geobeet..can we pack your cast full of C4??”

“Hey, banning me is one thing, but you're NOT gonna blow me up Pal!”

“StoveStomper must've directed a lot of traffic to this guy's site:

“Watcha doing Vi? Trying to stab yourself in the left foot?”

“now that is weird! Tarpy's going to love that, tehehe!”

“Looks pretty impractical to me. I don't imagine a ski pole has the "heft" to handle the rigors. For a "plunge" you'd probably do better with the tip sawed off of the pole and take a "core sample" of whatever it is you need defending from. (I know, I ended with a preposition.)”

“It would probably be easier to make a simple "bang stick", but several orders of magnitude more dangerous as well, lol....”

“Are we talking "zip-gun technologies" here?”

“Yah. It's pretty easy to do, but like I said, a lot more dangerous. You could probably buy a real one through a diver's supply though, they're mostly used by divers who are diving in shark-infested areas.”

“"core sample" -that cracks me up.

Has anyone looked at his gear review page?
He gives a positive review to a on sale $5 Wal-Mart tent.
Gear Slut would have a hissy fit.”

“Yeah, we need something with which to defend ourselves from the incessant attacks of the purple mountain fragglenoose. It's epidemic I tell ya. They're everywhere. They're not like us, ya know? Why I was saying to myself just last week, "Self, what the he11 is that?" And self replied, "I don't know what in the he11 that is. What the he11 is that?"

I got the he11 outa there. No telling what the he11 that was, but I warn't taking no chances. It mighta been a heffalump. It mighta been a rhinoscersauce. It mighta been a hippopottanoose. It mighta been (perish the thought) a purple mountain fragglenoose. RUN FER YER LIVES!!!!”

“i heard about a guy that will not get on a boat with a shark bang stick...one day he was diving with one, but never got to use it..came up handed it up to his buddy..boat swayed..buddy got boomed”
