Self Defence Sticks and Torches (Long Reach Legal Carry Items)

[@charlespratt8663]

An enthusiastic beating with a heavy stick never goes out of style.

[@patrickbodine1300]

Especially when it is so richly deserved.

[@charlespratt8663]

@PBFoote-mo2zr It's just good parenting.

[@ClaytonLovendale]

Canes are considered medical devices, as well as walking sticks and other items to assist in balance and walking. Just because you know how to use them for defensive purposes is a convenient side issue.

[@kevinbywater]

Consider also a photographer's monopod with a ball head on top. The head provides decent weight. The monopod may extend quite far, for needed height or reach. Some even come with a removable rubber foot that uncovers a metal spike which is used for stabilizing one's camera on certain kinds of ground. These can be obtained quite inexpensively from Amazon. They even have an Amazon Basics version that is especially inexpensive and suitable, sometimes sold as a 2-piece set. Just remember the ball head. Oh, and it nicely doubles as a walking stick.

[@motorteeth]

Same here in Canada... you can't carry anything for the purpose of defending yourself against a person. They can get you with "intent to disrupt the public peace" and follow it up with a "weapons" charge... could spend a few years in prison for just wanting to protect yourself.

[@DavidPinner-r9w]

I find garden tool handles in the trash no need to buy on. Broom handles work well too

[@midnightmosesuk]

Just a little detail, the stick is generally carried in the opposite hand to the injured leg. Sometimes it's the little details that make a big difference.

[@WeaponCollector]

thank you for watching and cheers for the tip mate

[@donoberloh]

I appreciate the information about the stick (or cane) being carried in the hand opposite the weak or injured leg. While this is generally true, I have a condition where it sometimes have to use my cane on the same side as my weak knee. My worse knee was my left, four surgeries in twenty years left it weaker, unstable and would occasionally “dislocate” for a split second then pop back in. Normally I would use my cane in my right hand. However, after twenty years of picking up the slack, my right knee became weak, arthritic, with instable movements and worn cartilage. On the days where the right was weaker than the left I’d use my can on the left. Therein lies the rub. My left wrist has sever arthritis and carpel tunnel. When it flares up I have no choice but to use my case in my right hand. Of the right leg is weaker on any given day when my left hand is painful and near useless. It does look odd that my cane is on the “weak side.” When hiking my walking stick is generally on the downhill side of the trail or when stepping off of logs, or protruding rocks, it is placed on the most solid ground, regardless of which hand or leg is best suited.

[@totizabayle377]

Those are effective looking walking sticks. I carry myself a "kamagong stick" which is a lot shorter as an elderly 81 year old man.

[@MetallicrealitE]

I have made myself a couple of staffs, I have to use a wheeled walker on concrete but in the woods it is staff all the way for me, they are also useful to help prop up a tarp, gotta love multi use items

[@RealTopHatMan]

High quality video jeez, clips playing in the background and all sorts! Each of the sticks are real nice, well made. My favourite would be the reinforced short metal one and selfie stick haha. Hope all’s well at the WC house

[@WeaponCollector]

haha, every now and then i decided i will put a lot more effort in, lol, it does pay off especially if its a well liked topic like "self defence". yeah that little retractable one and the selfie stick are great, its good to be able to carry a shorter stick in a bag or on your back etc.

[@RealTopHatMan]

@@WeaponCollector absolutely

[@davidkermes376]

can't put much reliance in a government that makes self defense illegal.

[@Cetok01]

I learned a long time ago that the lanyard/thong around the wrist can be a bad idea: if the stick or knife is jarred, you can lose control of it and it can swing around and hit you. A better idea is what we call the "billy club grip." Open your hand with your thumb up and loop the thong around your thumb ; let the thong hang across the back of your hand with the stick below. Roll your hand downward and grip the stick; then shorten the thong until it is snug but not tight and secure it at that length. This gives you a very strong grip on the stick, but if you need to release it quickly, just open your hand with your thumb pointed forward and it will slip off.

[@Arkayden]

Hey I remember this channel years ago! You made the best knuckle dusters ever, I’m glad to see you’re ok and still making videos!

[@robertwikeljr-1522]

If you are to have a "strap" have a section of surgical tube incorporated in its length so if it gets hung up or trapped you can get your hand out at your discretion. Had to respond to some bad situations where people couldn't release or get clear of trapped equipment.

[@landedzentry]

Chances are yr attackers (plural) will be younger fitter faster stronger and more aggressive. Be prepared to do damage and not fuck about worrying about legal consequences or fending people off without hurting them. Think it through now or end up as the wrong type of statistic. Useful thank you. New here. Was looking at crosbows. Great channel

[@steveday4797]

Great video 🖒. I already use an elbow crutch, it has come in handy as a "deterrent" a couple of times 😉

[@WeaponCollector]

Thanks Steve, yes, can be very useful can't they!

[@cobracommander4017]

Like the video people need options especially in communities where carry permits are either limited or non-existent. I will get back with you on wed.

[@sak94]

Great suggestions Mike, I need to make a heavy duty walking stick at some point.

[@WeaponCollector]

Thanks Stu, they are well worth making, hoe handles make really good heavy duty walking sticks.

[@RAYMONDCASILLAS]

I have a golf club cut just like that in my car. I thought I was the only one. It also doubles as a cane.

[@billlyell8322]

I have a 3-8 foot extendable tarp pole set. I have a handkerchief over the tip tied with a leather thong and a loop. I use it as a walking stick or a pair as trekking poles. The are made of thicker metal(aluminum I think) so they are very strong. You mentioned you both wood in one of your, I think I'll add that also thank you.

[@Saint_55]

Good video mate. Really nice editing you did and always confuses me why “self defence” can get you potentially nicked.

[@Aconitum_napellus]

The UK has stupid laws.

[@WeaponCollector]

cheers mate, basically its because the police deem anything described as "self defence" as a weapon (thats if it can hurt some else - body armour wouldn't count) and if carrying a "weapon" in public you have on you an "Offensive Weapon" and are then committing a crime.

[@stokie1035]

Definitely interested in the relatable one

[@lenordchristopher6447]

Brilliant video Mike

[@RippSnortin]

We also have a law in California against self defence. Not allowed to carry "striking weapons". Unless you are homeless. Then anything goes. They can do as they please.

[@donoberloh]

Pretty stupid Kalifornia we live in

I really don’t understand why anyone would want to live in the UK. Every year I think damn they have no freedom an yet their crazy government finds a way to take something else.

Quick question does body armour count as illegal if you say it’s used for self defence? Great video by the way

[@WeaponCollector]

Thanks mate, and Good point, as far as i know, No, its o,k to say that body armour is for self defence as it can't hurt someone else, but i suppose it might be worth leaving out the words "self defence " as you never know.

If you have a reason to carry the weapon you will probably get away with it, has to be a good reason tho you can’t be kicking about with a big metal torch at mid day

[@DavidHernandez-dk1zs]

That's where your brain comes into play. You're probably not going to carry a torch during the day, but at night the device basically speaks for itself. In the day you can carry a walking stick or the umbrella and just say you have a knee injury or balance problems and need it for walking, and there you go.

[@mattshepherd1736]

@@DavidHernandez-dk1zs you are right I look at it a different way now, maybe you or I have no use for a torch in the day, what if you had a good excuse to carry a torch in the day maybe you are an electrician or you are going to a friends house to help them clear out their basement, maybe you just bought it , gotta think outside the box I like it

[@OriginalEvaGreen]

I usually just carry a good fixed blade knife on my travels (live in UK) , you know for picking mushrooms, foraging to cut my dogs out if tangled up in and other utility purposes as long as your not being an idiot and have a good reason *wink wink* *nudge nudge* to be carrying it, it's completely legal to carry any knife (as long as it's not a banned knife like a auto or balisong)

[@mattshepherd1736]

@@OriginalEvaGreen fixed knives are illegal in the UK, a folding knife that can be fixed in place is illegal, a folding knife longer than 3 inches is illegal, and no matter how good your reason for carrying the knife is, as long as the police have a reason that is half as good to arrest you they will, especially rural police who get little to no crime and like to make examples of people to keep it that way

[@ColonelFredPuntridge]

No good. In USA everyone is armed, so being armed yourself doesn't give you any substantial advantage over your attacker. You move to USA because you like the idea of being allowed to carry a concealed pistol, and you find that the street-thieves are carrying concealed machine-guns with grenade-launchers attached.

Also, they are looking at my dog and not at me...

After one shot the dog is gone and you're just standing there 10 ft away with a dog lead with a clip on it. I would imagine one can add a nervous grin to that scenario.
