Something to consider for knife attacks is. Often there is no warning. Some people dont even realise they have been stabbed until the adrenaline wears off. Its not like most self defence demos where they wave a knife around threatening you. They keep it hidden. Then suddenly rush in. Also seems like there are a lot of people about with machetes in the UK. Which is far more obvious. I think some kind of protection on your forearms might be the best defence. I dont know for sure, that's just my thoughts on that one. Running away is probably a better idea, but if your forced to defend yourself

I had an idea several weeks ago about making armor using HDPE, the plastic used for milk jugs. Cut the jug(s) into pieces and cover a pan with them. Heat up in the oven to melt (instructive videos on this) and use a flat board to press into sheets. Repeat. Take several sheets and stack, melt, and press into a sheet around a quarter inch thick. Then use those sheets to make the armor. It can be heated up to make it shapeable for forming around arms and legs, etc. The bonus is you get to recycle.

UK "knife" laws. They cover not only knives and blades, but "offensive weapons" in general, and the classification of offensive is subjective to the circumstances of the individual carrying. They accomodate "tools of the trade" IE, a chef with an 8" kitchen knife, or a carpenter with screwdrivers, stopped in the street would be far less likely to land in trouble than an unemployed kid in a tracksuit would. The smart man has add-ons to make their situation believable - want to carry a knife in the car? Make it a nice roll of kitchen knives. Want to carry a bat?

If I were in the UK, I’d warm 2 of those plastic cutting boards in my oven until they became flexible, then form them to my front and back. Trim to fit with jigsaw. Drill and lace thru the sides= custom fit armor.

[@cloudian159]

keep in mind there are very few police in the uk that are trained to or have guns most have tasers and batons. the same stuff that would work on cameras also works on face shields, oil mixed with paint and sand does great. also did anyone else know that the standard sized marble is roughly the same size as a paint ball

[@ib1ray]

That's GOOD to know! Never thought about shooting marbles

My dad did some testing of circuit board body armor a while back on the Taofledermaus channel. Another option if you want to plan ahead.

[@themightycrixus1131]

That is one of the best channels on youtube! OG is the shit!

[@EddieJarnowski]

Not a bad idea. I have a few old motherboards i could use. And some old ram to make some cool gloves.

Years ago i found myself in prison at the age of 17. A couple old timers helped me get small hard cover books that were being discarded and then sewing them into the back of the issued jacket. It was common to be attacked that way. The other thing I remember is eating state issued toothpaste at night because we were hungry... For the record once released i never went back. Thanks for the video

I love how we saw mister Wranglerstar bere go from regular dad homesteader to a high level character like this. He already survived 2 apocalypses

[@Kinotaurus]

Genius idea with the cutting board; I would suggest improving it further by gently heating the board to mould it somewhat to your body shape.

Just as a point of interest, there are around 500,000 shotgun certificate holders and 160,000 firearms license holders, with roughly 600,000 fire arms and 1.4M shotguns in private ownership in the UK, handguns are very highly restricted. Civil war, unlikely, civil unrest, definitely, but it will be so polite!

[@mikechevreaux7607]

IF True, Shotguns Can Use Buck Shot, And Slugs.

[@mossy6144]

@@mikechevreaux7607 In the UK you need a separate permission on your section 1 firearms license, different from the shotgun certificate to purchase slugs, the largest shot size is LG or 000Buck. to be honest, would anyone want to get hit with a skeet round, no thanks

[@leopitre7907]

The U.S. has about 400 million Fire arms, and an estimated 40 million of them are AR-15's I actually believe the AR-15 estimate to be low, we can also buy level IV military body armor except for in a few states that have banned it...the ridiculous thing is that the cities and states with the strictist cum laws have the highest rate of crime.

[@BoC260]

Asking for a friend, are hacksaws restricted? Also interesting project involving a couple pieces of black water pipe, an end cap and piece of nail.

Any item can be considered weapons possession in Canada or the U.K depending in what context you are caught with it. If you say shelf defense you will be arrested for carrying a screw driver

You're giving some very useful advice. Bill Mount mentioned that after the French Revolution was over it was actually hard years for a decade before things got reestablished. We always think about the period leading up to, and soon afterwards, but a long-term view is going to be helpful for planning what remains.
