Survival Walking Staff

How to make a survival walking staff.

[@jtreedy]

Very cool idea, I can see how it lends itself to multiple configurations depending on your area or outing you may be taking. Can't wait to see the spear/gig tips. Thanks for sharing!

[@delreed2906]

Ingenious. I have learned that there are basically two types of people on the net. Those that spend their time bitching about celebs getting too much attention, and those that actually have important and/or interesting information to share. Thank you Sir, for sharing your knowledge and creativity with those of us that appreciate it. Your walking staff is awesome. I will try to recreate it before I go hiking in the woods. Thanks again.

[@FCAFlyer]

Absolutely brilliant! A ton of really useful ideas. Thanks!

[@jakenottage]

The more dime tubes that slide out and the variety of tools inside thyem, the more I see the genius of the concept. Well thought out sir.

[@MrJohnMainwaring]

Thank you, what a good idea. I'm semi retired and want to start back packing, What I'd use this for is the support pole for a tarp tent, add the fact all the stuff you can carry when using it as a walking stick makes this a wonderful idea for my plans

[@MrWmburr7]

Hey Charlie, Thanks for the great ideas! I especially appreciate the dime and penny tube suggestion to keep everything compartmentalized. Thank you.

[@czechmate9591]

Great survival staff Matey

[@comfortouch]

Nice kit. I'd recommend a small cutting tool of some-sort; and a tightly rolled 55gal drum liner for an impromptu shelter. And if you have space, a small nail clipper is great for the sewing/fishing kit. Side note: You can store 4x more 'clean' cotton, plus a tube of 'carmex' (petroleum jelly) lip ointment, in the same amount of space as those pre-smeard cotton balls. It's just as useful, if not more-so, and it's a lot less messy. Dollar tree carries a generic 2-pack of petroleum jelly lip-stuff (for a dollar) that is 100% petroleum.

[@raysirx9]

Very innovative. The sky is the limit with the options you can put on this.

[@paparitz1]

Super nice survival waking stick

[@bovaromni7491]

You sure put a lot of stuff in there. I didn't see a knife in there. You got a good idea, I could free up a whole compartment in my go bag by doing this.

[@surearrow]

You're a genius! Great idea for a walking staff!

[@gldsmith61]

Your walking stick is a GREAT idea but I have a few thoughts, 1. Don't drink the yellow snow. 2. You would never pass for an Arab. But all kidding aside, what you put in it, and the compass in the top are some of the best I have seen on UTUBE. thanks for the vid, I will be making one soon.

[@tinlizzyism]

great idea charlie im always looking for ways to take more stuff with me and this is it. thanks for posting

[@dalethebelldiver7740]

PRETTY GOOD! These self made items are far better that purchased items.

[@logan4231]

Wow... Brilliant! I really like the water container in it.... That's fantastic!

[@olechuga2]

Sir, a very good set of ideas. Thank you, very much indeed, for your intelligent savvy.

[@purplemutantas]

Very cool. I have been thinking of making a survival staff. This video has given me some ideas. I like the coin tubes, I didn't know about those.

[@jamesmouakkassah6705]

it would be helpful to you to have a plastic disk with a long string to put in each tube before loading this way you can pull on the string and the disk on the bottom will bring up all of you items in the tube.

[@wolf1066]

Those coin tubes are a great idea. I'd never heard of them before, now I want to see if I can find anything like that here in NZ - I'm always on the lookout for compact useful containers to hold a few items. Great seeing what sort of stuff fits in them, too. Many thanks for a great vid.

[@kingfisherblues57]

That is a nice stick Charlie. One option you may want to add for the tip is a simple rare earth magnet. People use them to find fragments of meatiers that have hit the earth. They are highly magnetic, and highly valuable if you find a big one.

[@boofingdragon]

Very cool survival staff. I carry all that stuff in a backpack but inside a stick is cool to I would reckon, Thanks!

[@JayT7]

Pretty sweet ideas

[@Mr45Bullitt]

Very cool!! Thanks for sharing.

[@smith951]

I'm making a stick I got a lot of cool ideas from your video Thanks

[@chicharrinification]

Absolutely awesome,it make me really happy,I love this tutorial,I actually built a wooden one two years ago

[@DannyWalker1949]

I just found this video. I made 2 of these back a month ago or so. 1 for my wife and 1 for myself. I used a different type of build on mine. I used "Rubber Feet" for bar stools on my bottom ends. I mine are 1" also and just 1 length on PVC pipe not several pieces like yours are. I do like yours and having different compartments too. I may have to rebuild. he-he.

[@jeepnjo6]

Great idea. Can't wait to build my own.

[@42Sparky13]

PVC pipe is pretty durable. In my experience, it holds up amazingly to strikes. (Me and a friend practice our staff attack form with PVC pipes of equal length.) PVC Is an incredible thing my friend. I recommend it to you.

[@richwalas2508]

great idea Mr.SOS.... however I agree with Anne Ominous with relocating tips-end(s)? and I'm think for a more durable and firming coating I'd go with a coat of pick up bed liner rust-oleum or rhino liner ?? just a thought .... God bless and be safe!!

[@BudhagRizzo]

Some really good ideas. Thanks!

[@derosa159]

Nicely done

[@tripl3ogkush]

Great ideas! I will be making one or two of these!!

[@DrDennis]

Great idea's all the way around. Like the idea. You put alot of thought into this I can tell. I might try one myself one day. Not sure where you get the threaded female coupler. Maybe the gas pipe section Home depot. Thx.

[@FathermanTV]

excellent video! So many practical ideas.

[@crimsonwarriorz]

suddnely thought of marketing. id totally buy this thing.

[@CheapGeek]

Good Ideas in this video! Thanks for making this.

[@irontoad123]

A rag on the head is called a Bern-use, great practical vid. you look like you actually use it too

[@aitora979]

Awesome Staff!!

[@9charlie72010]

How is for flexablity, will it hold up if you need to bear weight on it going up steep hills. looks like a good idea, very common man. Just wandering about its wieght bearing thats all.

[@radikewl70]

Nice setup man, the coin tubes I think is a great addition to any kit. Thanks for posting.

[@blackwaterdogs4256]

Lots of good ideas here....thanks for sharing ! (I think every ex-military guy I know has a shemagh in his gear :-)

[@theattacker0403]

You are a genius.

[@richardnosewater5262]

This is a wonderful idea you've had.

[@vitiate111]

Wow! Great ideas, thanks.

[@Kaltro1]

Well done first video I watched I am going to make one for my AT Threw hike

[@CarlosPortoPhotography]

Great idea.

[@donblack7107]

Outstanding------Well done

[@PureDWhiteCloud]

Admirable effort. A coupla good ideas.

[@rsaf18]

it will keep them 6ft away..lol or use the end with the para cord loop and snag it like the aspca dog it is! Great vid and stick! Id like one...

[@stephen8433]

Interesting. I liked and subscribed.

[@PIRATEOFFEAR]

Great video. Thanks for posting.

[@gldsmith61]

Great staff, lot's of good stuff, by the way I have learned alot from your vid's, Thanks

[@PureTazr]

very good I will now get one for me awesome idea love it.

[@bcjdwbiernfjherwfbowfib]

coolest staff ever! nice job

[@VinnyKnuckles]

Excellent ideas.

[@tolucawood]

I just love it! Thanks. Very good!

[@Dybs_]

Lol, hilarious reply. Great tutorial and ideas.

[@MultiGuitarman53]

man this is great,i can see these going for 35 bucks a pop at wal mart LOL you should patented this and sale it.very unique,well done.

[@Xavigeorge1126]

Great idea

[@Rustyone4u2]

SOS....thanks for the video....pvc pipes have so many uses....I''m going to make a walking stick out of Pvc and will follow your lead....thanks ....Rusty

[@Explore-Discover]

Good stick! Thanks for sharing. I have subscribe to your channel. May you continue on with your good videos.

[@chrisw46360]

hahahaha brilliant, good come back, keep the vids coming

[@anonymous915]

What a great idea - the only thing I'd change is that I think I'd have gone with some kind of paint rather than black duct tape - my experience is that it tends to get a bit messy when it gets exposed to the weather or if it's handled much.

[@mikeyoung9810]

Very creative. Nice video. Disaster aside, would be handy if you ran into trouble hiking.

[@bluefalcon1952]

NICE! I need to make one. When you make the pointy end adapter, you could leave it attached for walking and a ready weapon. Maybe another version would be a breakdown bow with arrows.

[@SOS2054]

+Ronald Allen Here is a link to my survival site where I make my own survival breakdown bow. www.swordofsurvival.com/2010/10/survival-break-down-bow.html

[@fryingscotsmanful]

good design needs a bit of refinement but alot of possibilities. impressed

[@bassassn1]

great video....good ideas

[@newby1627]

Looks like you have some Rothco gear? I didnt know they made under Armor for big guys like us lol.

[@SeidMadr]

Very clever, I'd like to see your finished idea. I think you need to include a bug out bag in your travel plans, or at least a vest with more pockets. Do you carry a multi-tool? A pack that is camel pack ready? How about emergency food? Do have a way to mount spear points or fishing points that are all ready made? Oh, something for small/medium game hunting would also be a good idea, maybe in your bugout bag of your survival kit? I need to find a vest with lots of pockets.

[@SOS2054]

+SeidMadr Here is a link to my survival site where I made a survival vest using the 5.11 tactical vest. www.swordofsurvival.com/2010/08/my-survival-vest.html

[@brandywell44]

Thats a great idea

[@dannyfubar3099]

Outstanding, Great Post!

[@HeatherSpoonheim]

Brilliant. Thanks.

[@DracDraken]

The grey pvc pipe is also UV resistant, if you had used white it would eventually become hard and very brittle.

[@colbolt54]

Wow so cool!!!! I would love to buy one of those!!!!!

[@azizghamid1]

good idea thank you for sharing

[@vilijanac]

Blow dart too. However the noise it makes will scare the rabbits :)

[@chisholmranch1]

You can use it as a fishing pole and also install a thin sword in one of the sections.

[@neven01]

I do not know if anyone else brought this to your ATTN: but that was the original reason it was developed "Superglue" for skin sutures. or so I've been told.

[@wheathin100]

Cool staff. Thanks for posting your vid. Now I want to make one :)

[@TheScoobydubie]

awesome idea Sir !!!!! Im going to make mine tomorrow :)

[@JACKRANGER]

Fantastic! Great job.

[@alienbaroque]

I like it, but what good is it against zombies?

[@LastScothorn]

maybe put a weight in one end of the tube so when you turn it upside down, it pushes things out easier

[@paulob.7343]

Good Stuff, I wonder if you have more ideas to share for the staff body, we are thinking making one in bamboo with the inside soft material scraped and epoxied for extra hardness. we tried with a carbon part of a fishing rod but was to brittle to be trusted for support. Keep on with your videos, and your positive attitude.

[@SOS2054]

+unclee fester I have not tried bamboo yet. I have not had access to a good supply.

[@CombatVetTom]

Excellant idea. Thanks.

[@a.hermes5341]

Very Nice, thx!

[@rtrujillo3]

Really like your video. Im a real noob at plumbing pipes, so just how sturdy is the grey PVC. Would it be good for self deffence, or would it fall apart?

[@mikeyoung9810]

Nice video. It would be a useful tool if stranded.

[@AnneOminous1]

A big tip (no pun intended): You DO NOT want the bottom end to be heavy! No big steel fittings and caps on the bottom! That's what moves most. If it's heavy you will tire and burn too many calories. Put a hard but lightweight point on the bottom, like combo ski/hiking poles. They know what they are doing. The bottom should have a sturdy PLASTIC fitting, hard tip. Big steel cap at the TOP, and most of the weight around where the hand will be.

[@ieltsurumqi1453]

How do you think this stick would stand up to strikes? Will it break under that kind of punishment? Great video. Thanks.

[@warriorspirit320]

I like it!

[@jesusbalderrama2369]

good stuff thank you for sharing.

[@lancecanoy6243]

make sling shot attachments for the arrow you were talking about putting in there.

[@whereskim89]

I find it a great idea, this makes a regular stick all the more useful, but is it durable for hiking? Regardless it makes me want to go to Home Depot and build a stick now

[@HeandIare1]

That's awesome man! Let us know what you come up with for the end adapters. God bless ya real good! (:-))

[@adrianeyre3630]

lol that's funny subscribed

[@gpierceful]

have u ever considered iron wood it is very light however u cant have all of the add ons of the pvc but it would last alot longer and it will not break when fending off zombies or coyotes

[@TheGjb1952]

when this is completely stocked with everything you keep pulling out of the stick how much does this thing weigh ?

[@SOS2054]

Approx 15 pounds.

[@Rico-Suave_]

great idea, thanks
