A Monkey Fist is quick, inexpensive and easy to make. All you need is a center weight, about six feet of paracord and the jig to get started.

As long as it is legal for you to own and use one, a Monkey Fist is an effective weapon that virtually anyone can make.

In a survival situation, it could be one way you could hunt game without drawing too much attention to yourself.

Remember, if you do tackle this project, make sure it is legal in your area to make, carry, carry concealed or use a Monkey Fist.
