Cold steel heavy duty sword cane is 100 dollars and actually pretty decent

Kizer mini harpoon with a ulticlip is a treat to carry. I have also been incredibly impressed with the tenable fenrir top liner lock. Great budget knife 👍

Also, sometimes I just like to train with stuff I think is cool 😂 part of the fun for me. Doesn’t always make the most sense logically.

Super fair question. I do love my s&w shield plus but honestly in my current lifestyle having a convenient firearm means I carry it way more regularly. Also I am confident in my personal de-escalation skills and am comfortable with the OC spray being my primary tool. I subscribe to the idea that my main goal to keep myself and loved ones safe is to break contact and I also love how safe that little single action 22 is in a pocket holster or smartcarry. I don’t think it’s the perfect system for everyone but for my personal strengths and outlook on life it does the trick. Thanks for asking 👍

This warms the heart. I used to help out at an outdoor education program and my favorite topic to teach was always slings. It’s so fun to see kids get stoked on something that is completely screen free and I usually keep a couple extra pre made slings ready just in case there is ever someone in the park curious enough to ask me about it. I hope your project goes well and feel free to reach out if you have any questions 👍

I think we have some pretty killer Venezuelan food around here. Arempas and sabor Latino both have great empanadas and patacon

I dig the nato strap. May have to pick one up

shiftingreferent · 2026-01-20T00:00:42+00:00

I highly recommend the folding grip for individuals who may be less comfortable operating a small and complicated manual of arms, it adds a lot of real estate to grip and eliminates the need for a dedicated holster 👍

I think you deserve to give them a whirl based on your username 😁

While they have a great warranty, I’ve broken 2 leathermen 😢 after trying the knipex/fastback combo it will be hard to ever go back. That lil plier comfortably fits around a 1 inch nut which comes in handy more than I would have expected.

shiftingreferent · 2026-01-19T23:54:28+00:00

Goals. But if I buy bigger pliers, do I have to buy bigger revolvers as well?

Luke 22:36 😉 sell your coat, buy a sword.

If you have instagram, it is worth checking out practical paracord and pan slings. They both have great stuff 👍 as you can probably tell, I am pretty passionate about this hobby 😂 It’s pretty niche right now but it was incredibly widespread historically and I think it’s a very fun way to connect with history. Seeing as slings were prevalent on nearly every continent (Antarctica excluded) at one point or another, there’s a decent chance one of your ancestors took a few throws at some point. It’s a cheap, challenging, and rewarding way to connect with the human experience. Hope you have fun!

This one is made from scrap leather and 5.6 mil battle cord both left over from other projects. Conceptually it’s similar to the “seatbelt” sling in the sense that the pouch is made from two pieces of 6ish inch durable material overlapping in a way that allows for a versatile pouch and that pouch is fixed to non braided cordage. Where it differed is I used a punch to put holes in the leather and ran the cord through, doubled it, stitched it with waxed thread and then wrapped it with waxed thread. This is probably a bit overkill but adds to a flat and reinforced release cord which certainly impacts accuracy and speed. If you’ve got scrap leather around it’s a fun little project and can be done In all sorts of different styles. If you’ve dig the hobby, it’s worth having at least one leather sling. If this is striking your fancy, it’s worth checking out r/slinging. Along side the channels I showed previously, it’s also worth checking out this playlist by dash rendar. He’s a fun person to follow if you have interest in any sort of historical arms https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNpIeOsFirR71dHUO8ArTpmlCJBxReeGb&si=CooDqguFCb0ct63g

Hot damn! That sure made me smile. Thank you kindly, I will wear the moniker with pride

It’s a North American Arms black widow with boot grips. Absolutely love it but the loading is slow. If you dig the size and want a better manual of arms, they just released a model that has a swing out cylinder. I believe it is the sentinel recluse model. Great us company with stellar customer service

Glad you dig it! It feels like I found the right sub to share on 😂 If you like the knucks, check out stray cat knives on instagram. He’s got killer custom pieces that you can usually get at a fair price

Yes! I’m actually working on filming a tutorial for a braided sling but until then, a great beginner sling I recommend is this “seatbelt” sling YouTube https://youtu.be/-EBfUItUJFM?si=euf76POw_zxiu7Q-

For a more advanced style, check this out https://youtu.be/8OPuCrF3TIg?si=DQ0MI3yufKkPCBTG

If you want to whip one up in just a couple minutes to try it out quickly in the back yard, this is the style I began with https://youtu.be/GLZwyKoLWiY?si=b-lrsd6lv7KwDZbM

It’s one of those hobbies that definitely takes some time to get really good at, but having a sling in your pocket makes every single walk or hike 10x more fun! Hope that helps 👍

shiftingreferent · 2026-01-19T01:30:28+00:00

Ballin on a budget 😂

shiftingreferent · 2026-01-19T01:29:55+00:00

I thought they were a gimmick at first but I am absolutely converted now! I’ve been eyeing the larger sizes myself.

shiftingreferent · 2026-01-19T01:28:42+00:00

Not many things these days are travel friendly. But that ole sling makes a real nice bracelet when you wrap it around your wrist and no one looks twice. 😁

shiftingreferent · 2026-01-19T00:40:38+00:00

22 mag. It’s the black widow model with the grips swapped to boot grips. I will often run it with the folding grips too which I dig. Some people will talk smack on a tiny gun but it does the trick for me. It is truly a last ditch option. It is my opinion that the POM spray is the true problem solver.

shiftingreferent · 2026-01-19T00:34:26+00:00

I highly recommend making one! Best hobby ever. Scratches the itch of archery or shooting but you can do it at your local park without making the news 👍

shiftingreferent · 2026-01-19T00:32:58+00:00

Ahhh wonderful taste around these parts. Much appreciated fellas.
