In hand to hand fighting, Nunchucks might be the difference maker, particularly if you cannot use other weapons to defend  yourself. By following these six steps you can arm yourself with a powerful punch in a survival situation.

Tie a Diamond Knot to Start

Take an end of each of the pieces of paracord and tie together using a diamond knot.

Tie a solomon knot around the timber.

Position the diamond knot at the top of one of the pieces of timber dowel and start the solomon knot.

Continue tying the knot, pulling each turn as firmly as possible, until you reach the end of the dowel.

Tie a Diamond Knot at the end.

Tie another Diamond knot at the end of the timber. You will need to work the knot, by gradually pulling the paracord through the knot to get the the knot firmly lodged against the end of the timber.

Tie a third diamond knot.

Tie a third diamond knot, leaving about 8cm of cord between the knots.

Tie the solomon knot to the timber rod.

Now tie this third diamond knot to the second piece of timber dowel exactly as we did the first time in step 2.

Continue tying the solomon knot all the way to the end of the timber again.

Tie the final diamond knot

Tie the fourth and final diamond knot to finish.

Again, work the knot until it is firmly against the end of the timber.

Then cut the ends of the paracord and singe the ends.

In a survival situation, Nunchucks could be the game changer you need to prevail if you  are attacked.

This version is easy to make and packs a real punch.
