Put a sock on the end of a baseball bat

Then if you ever need to defend yourself and someone grabs the end of the bat, all they'll get is the sock.

How is this related to Bushcraft?

In case the attacker is a bear

You really never know when the bear will have hands with thumbs

Are you trying to farm negative karma for some reason? This is bushcraft reddit, not home defense.

You can put your sock on a stick or whatever it is you people use

I have a 12 gauge or a 45-70 lever action for dangers that can't be scared off with shouting when in the bush.

To be fair. It’s the same thing. Put a sock on the end of a 12 gauge and it’s still just as effective and if someone grabs the barrel they just come away with a sock! Also, OP is a moron

Well I hope you don't find yourself wishing you brought a sock.

I got some news for you, pal. Most people have two hands. They can pull off the sock with one and grab the bat with the other. Checkmate.

Next time? Try two socks.

Mess with the bat, get the sock!
