Ideally, in a survival situation, you have all the tools you need to make it through and that includes adequate weaponry for hunting and self-protection.
If the situation is long enough in duration, however, eventually, even the best stocked survivalist will run out of traditional weaponry and if the SHTF moment finds you separated from your survival kit or bug-out bag, you may start at a distinct disadvantage.
In either event, your ability to improvise and use what is at hand to replenish your stock or to make weapons could be the difference between making it or not.
That is why it is critical you understand and preferably, have practiced, making your own weapons.
This awesome looking arrow made from a spoon is one such example.
The video on the next page shows you how to use an everyday spoon to make a very effective arrowhead.

Never thought of this… Dollar tree has spoons and I got a hammer… I’m gonna pound some out, I think.
Me too.

I think it would be a better use to just melt the silver down, and use a regular spoon for this.
Silver is way too valuable to waste in this fashion.

It was stainless steel they used and if you can’t get your bug out bag and shtf but you were able to grab your Dremel and the 800 pic set along with spoons a vice and hammers not to mention electricity heat the spoon in a fire smash flat with a rock or hammer if your lucky to have one then sharpen the edges it will work like a Clovis
