When you think about weapons to bring during your bug out, what comes to mind? A gun? A knife? A machete? A crossbow?

I’m going to go ahead and guess that a blowgun and air darts probably didn’t make your list. Despite their low profile in the world of survival, these darts can be an amazing tool to have on you when you’re in the wild. Haven’t you seen Apocolypto, when they guy uses the poisonous frog and some thorns to create a poisonous air dart to kill one of his enemies?!

They’re light weight, and with enough training, you can hone your dart-aiming skills down to a science for precision and accuracy. And before you know it, you’ll be able to take down small prey for your dinner.

You don’t need commercial darts for this contraption. All you really need are some toothpicks and basic household items! Check out how to make your own by watching the video on the next page.
