Survival Walking Stick designed by (Retired) U.S. Army Col. Jim Callahan

I first met Jim Callahan a couple years ago at a survival expo in Phoenix Arizona. I was intrigued by his survival walking stick but the fact that he is a retired Army Ranger who designed the stick intrigued me even more.
I regretted not buying one of his sticks while at the survival expo so this time when I bumped into him again....I made sure I bought one.
For 2 reasons.
1. Because its a cool walking stick packed with tools that could save my life when out hiking.
2. Because I want to support an Army officer who served our country for 23 years.
Thank you for your service Jim.
To buy one of Jim's survival walking stick please contact him at [e-mail]
(my dad & my uncle both served in Vietnam as Army soldiers so I have a lot of love for the Army!)

[@mixflip]

largol33t1 I think the coolest part of owning this stick is that it's made by Jim. A big box store version wouldn't mean the same to me.

[@seth9671]

mixflip How is the structure of the stick? Just a scenario off the top of my head... I'm hiking some idiot decides to assualt me could it function as a battlestaff or spear?

[@mixflip]

Bass Addiction its a solid stick except for the top where the gear is hidden. You could use it to create distance in a confrontation for sure. And if you have time yyoy can lash a blade to the end and make a spear.

[@TrehanCreekOutdoors]

Whether his marketing techniques are completely valid or not isn't the point here. The point of this video isn't about him; this is about YOUR OWN survival. Regardless of what quality it is, the survival gear you have with you is always superior to the gear you you left behind. I'll gladly take this tricked out walking stick with me and you guys who don't want one can come along too. When the chips are down in a genuine survival situation you will be begging to use the survival gear and the walking stick! This is actually a very cleverly designed walking stick with a lot of novel features such as the arrowhead insert, a taper for mounting a bayonet, etc. Also, I like the idea of adding a bullet holder strip down the side of the key chain fob. I'll be adding that to the next ones I make. Jim, here's an idea to consider. Feel free to use it. On my fobs I place a good carabiner on both ends. They are far more useful than a key ring in a survival situation. The whistle can still go on the lower carabiner. The top carabiner can snap on a belt, back pack, or any other convenient spot. Put the key ring part on a simple lanyard and sell it with the fob, giving the option to attach the lanyard to the fob for neck wear when desired. It would be a far better and more versatile arrangement. Best of luck in your business!

[@user-td1zo3tv9p]

Matztertaler, All of his sticks are made of wood and the version with the witness marks to aid in tracking, to which he drills out only one end to a specific depth to contain the survival tools. So, the short answer is, "No" he isn't using bamboo for his sticks. As tough as bamboo is, I doubt it would have the life expectancy of a hardwood or whatever is being used and seen in this video. A good friend of mine (who passed away 2 Christmases ago) bought me one of these as a gift. He also gave me a broadhead and the attachment to make a spear or gigging tool but it seems to be fairly fragile and easily bent. That said, I'd be VERY leery and cautious about using it for casual hunting out of concern of breaking it. If there was a MUCH (!!) stronger method of attaching a broadhead or other impaling tool (outside of the slip-on knife shown) it would be that much more effective and helpful. However, lashing a quality knife to the end WOULD make an effective stand-off tool or weapon. Used with caution and keeping the fragile nature of the broadhead attachment method in mind, this does have some utility and purpose, though. All in all not a bad tool to have on hand in the field as an adjunct to a bigger survival kit.

[@douglasmcintyre3297]

Colonel Callahan, I love the features you've built into your walking sticks and your other products. A couple questions: Do your walking sticks have any sort of built-in mount at the lower end of the stick, to bolt or lash a Y- or L-shaped metal tool to be used for pinning down snakes or critters which are caught in traps or snares, knock fruit, nuts or fire making materials out of a tree, as a rest for glassing or shooting etc? Also, are any of your sticks built six feet or longer? I ask this because I think anything intended to use as a spear or long-handled gouging weapon should be a least 8-10 inches longer that the height of its user, to make it as difficult as possible to land on the sharp end of the tool if a person loses their balance and falls to the ground.

[@hugebartlett1884]

Always intrigues me how retired US officers and NCO's ramp up so much appreciation for their service,yet in the UK they come and go with hardly any thanks or gratitude for all they have done,after a lifetime of putting their Country first,before everything,putting their life at risk,and in many cases coming home injured.

[@djangoren8556]

That's really interesting. However I usually have a survival kit or two stashed in the pack/on my person. My favorite walking sticks are more like staffs. Just taller than the owner so you dont impale yourself should you trip. The best walking stick is a staff, the best staff is a spear. On that note, spear heads are easy to make and bring with you.

[@timbaka1480]

Point of clarification on the Monkey Fist. Yes, many people (including EBAY) consider these as weapons. Certainly the big ones with the nuts are almost nothing but. However, the origin of these is in my career field (merchant marine), as a line throwing device. Sailors would tie a rock in the end of a length of light line and use the weight to carry the line to shore or to another vessel. The other end is tied to a heavier rope, and the light line is used to pull the heavier line across the gap. Bored yet? Here's the point -- you may never be in a riot, or get jumped by a bunch of outlaw bikers. You very well may need to toss a line over a hanging branch to pull it loose (I hate leaving widow-makers hang). You may need to pass a line over a high branch and hang your food bag up out of bear reach. You may need to throw a line out to someone bogged down in a marsh, or get a line across a creek. Lots of uses, I have one on/in every bugout bag and trail bag in the house. Word of warning - check your state and local laws before walking around with one of these hanging off your keychain -- they are illegal in some places (goldarned juvenile delinquents screwing things up for us senior delinquents again . . . I want my danged switchblade back!) Personally, if a bad guy is close enough for me to whack with a monkey fist, I'm well and truly screwed! Y'all be good, and hike on!

[@Iampatrix]

I had a monkey fist necklace as a kid that I got from a field trip...I definitely used it as a weapon against my sister. But to my defense she was 5'8 and like 250lbs+ by age 12 and I was 3 years younger, a foot shooter, and barely 100lbs. She'd have killed me if I didn't try to even the odds. That was a good fight.

maybe ranger in some video game which he took to seriously

So many things to say, but I'll keep it short. My first thought was "how does he sell these so cheap?" The materials must add up to a fair cost, but then his labour would take a while too, and then he has to travel and spend time selling. This looks like a truly great product at a ridiculously low price. I may be wrong about the pricing as I'm in Australia, so your dollar value may be a lot different. This man is a decent person and trying to keep active and involved in society, and I believe a role model for any kids. Here's a suggestion for you mate, make an attachment like a noose or hook so the pole can reach things, like high hanging fruit or a fish just out of reach as examples. Power to you and best wishes.

No offense intended but is ferro (ferrocerium) rod not ferris rod.

[@mixflip]

Ferroc....short for ferrocerium. The c is pronounced like an s. Everybody has their own slang. Some say ferro and drop the c. I don't see why it's an issue though?

[@BigDThatsMe]

Yup, I have 2. Have met Jim a couple of times as I live here in SV. Great Guy, and Great stick. Use it every time I hike.

[@Grandpadew]

Sir, thank you for your Service to our great Country. Your craft, in general, was very appealing. I live close to San Antonio, TX; --> and I don't think you do our Gun Shows. However, I have bookmarked you online address and will keep you and your craft in mind. I liked about four - five (4-5) of your items. We will discuss the particulars when my buying time approches. In the meantime, best of luck. Keep safe. Great video Sir, thank you for your time. Oscar
