Lanny? We have conversed for a while now my friend? DO you still not know my sarcasm meter is as broken as @Dviss? Green font was invented for our kind man. LOL.
I have a “thunder stick” from when my sons played baseball. It’s the length of a bat, but long, narrow and solid (insert dirty joke here), and it was used for batting practice. Hand/eye coordination, blah, blah, blah. It’s like a long billy club you can swing with one or both hands. Either way will do damage. Anyway, that and mace are my home defense system.
They sell these sweet crab bat flashlights in the truck stops out here. They are actually really sweet and pretty high quality 300 lumen flashlights. I picked up a few for friends and family. It slides into my hiking pack nicely and doesn’t take up much space, and you would not want to get smacked by one they are super stout.
I've got a metal soft ball bat....the metal handle from my 2.5 ton floor jack..a tire iron and some heavy metal ratchets plus a big assed ratchet handle...lot of fish hooks too...but I paid 1000 bucks for my old truck 21 years ago....I'm not losing a tool over it
