How to make a nail bat: Surviving the apocalypses with Lou!

[@MikeyHernandez-pq9vo]

first time watching this guy he's funny asff

[@loadedforbear9290]

Thanks bud.

[@lukeeppenauer5547]

I definitely agree with the use of hockey tape, I play lacrosse and I've found that hockey tape is a lot more durable than baseball or lacrosse tape. Plus living out in WA state it's wet all the time and I can undoubtedly say that hockey tape keeps its grip a lot better

[@loadedforbear9290]

The grips don’t lie! Hockey tape just gets it right. Baseball tape gets slick when wet, which kinda blows my mind.

[@tasdevil9476]

I really enjoyed the enthusiasm and your energy in the video. Really made me laugh! Thank you for making my night more enjoyable

[@loadedforbear9290]

Awww shucks:). You’re welcome! That’s what I’m aiming to do:). Thank you for watching!

[@SilverWolf357YT]

Negan’s bat is actually covered in barbed wire

[@Colt100]

this guy is so unhinged, i love it

[@loadedforbear9290]

All door, no hing. Thank you bud:)

[@BlackAdder1970]

Great use of the grip tape. But I wouldn't put nails into your bat. They will bend and break off. I used grade 5 hex head sheet metal screws, the ones that have a point. But i only used 3/4 to 1 inch long ones. First drilling a small pilot hole (so it won't split your bat) This way it has "heavy studs" that can do massive damage

[@loadedforbear9290]

Great Idea! I'll have to give that a go if I make a new one:)

[@mimikanahd1638]

Im pretty sure weve all seen those videos of people standing on tons of nails, so something i would say is not to put way too many nails on the bat so that way there are less pressure points to spread the energy of the impact. At the very least put a good bit of space between each nail so they go into the "target" with less swinging power. Maybe 3 nails going down the shaft and 6 nails going across the circumference of the bat.

[@loadedforbear9290]

@@mimikanahd1638 love the input! It’s been years since I’ve made one, but I’ve been towing around with making a new one/video, and I would definitely add this to the list of things that do different. Thanks for commenting!

[@juanpchoo1516]

Bleed loss build lookin mighty fine

[@lifescansdarkly]

I think I'd use stainless screws, the kind that are only about half threaded. Drill some pilot holes and snip off the ends like you did with the nails, just saves you all the whacking and lets you be a little more precise with the placement. Might also lessen the risk of splitting.

[@loadedforbear9290]

That’s a brilliant idea. Truth be told I just kinda went for it:)

[@637dan]

All of this, but tent spikes. Much larger, much more durable nails, rather than cutting them, I angle the head off to the side, she’s real beautiful in an brutally-ugly kinda way. I call it the modern mace, though you can practically use it as a saw.

[@landking967]

use rusty screw , give them poison damage.

[@zencircleenso4527]

This has the best vibes ever and I hope you never get shampoo in your eyes ever 🥺❤️🥺🥺

[@loadedforbear9290]

Lol thank you so much! But unfortunately I get shampoo in my eyes all the time:\

[@potatowarrior7851]

Honestly im not to sure about the worlds future. So knowing how to make a weapon when things go south is essential. Thx a lott friend

[@Legendary_Cheese_Wizard]

That an epic bat. I made a war pick out of solid metal.

[@loadedforbear9290]

Dang, a war pick? That’s hardcore! Do you have a home forge set up? I had a former roommate that used to forge with old rail spikes we found:). Thanks for watching!

[@Hazzzyyyyyy]

Hell yeah thanks for this! Me and my friend are doing an art project and we wanted to make the real deal

[@loadedforbear9290]

You're most welcome:) Be careful though, the real deal is dangerous!

Randomly came across this vid and I do not regret watching it at all

[@lilhedgehog8576]

I’ve always wanted a bat with nails in it ever since I played the game dead rising 2. I love that game.

I would, the nails would keep the wire from sliding off.

[@milesaway3422]

The nails look pretty weak and they’d bend and come out. Hit anything with them?

[@loadedforbear9290]

Definitely not my strongest build. And since switched over to using hybrid screws and then clipping them. I haven’t made a video with it yet, but I might in the future:)

[@milesaway3422]

Would using washers, or nuts make it stronger?

[@loadedforbear9290]

@@milesaway3422 not sure? The more you add to the bat, nails, screws ect, the more you compromise the wood of the bat. I've split a bat with a nail that just found the right spot.

[@fritz1143]

Next step, put some old rusty barbed wire on the big boi, just in case...y know...
