Survival situations demand a different way of thinking about things; ordinarily, most of us would give little thought to making a brute weapon that could bash an adversary's brains in.
But if you are facing a survival situation and either want to conserve ammunition or have none, this type of club would be invaluable in close quarters altercations or while hunting smaller game.
The “Millwall Club/Ax” Improvised Survival Weapon!
All you need is a regular size newspaper rolled up lengthwise as tight as you can make it.
(Note – It’s best to first wet the newspaper sheets because it helps you to roll them tighter and it adds weight to the paper. If you’re at a football game, beer will do in a pinch.
With the regular “Millwall Brick”, all you’d do is fold it in half and use it as an improvised “baton”.
Surprisingly hard and effective, trust me!
But then I tried something different…
Before I taped the Millwall up, I first stuck a rock in the folded end to form a hard “club”.
Then wrapped it tight with the duct tape, leaving each end of the rock exposed.
Improvisation is the key to making it through any survival scenario and this club fits nicely into that category.
You need newspaper, two rocks and duct tape – it does not get much simpler than that – but the end result is a very stout, brutal club no one in their right mind would want to encounter. For more on how to create this weapon, check out Modern Combat & Survival.
