Hiking pole shocker

**Panzer1** · 03-10-2009, 00:01

I tried to find a way to quickly attach an arrow head to the tip of my hiking pole in an emergency. but could not find a way to safely arrow the arrow head when not needed.

Shouldn't this silliness be MOVED to the 'Hiking Humor' forum?

Those capacitors in disposable flash cameras are of good value.

I've made this (not inside the camera, i've removed the parts and applied this to my refridgerator for a wandering roommate)

A tazer built into hiking poles?!?!?!

That is just sick & twisted!!!

I WANT TWO!!!!!

By the way, my cats would wait a few months, then revenge the h**l out of you! Being tazed will seem a nice thing in comparison.

I found out by accident. Bored one day I decided to see what was inside one of those disposable cameras and ended up closing the circuit between the capacitor and the flash

! After recovering from the "shock", I then began thinking of all the ways this could be put to use. But I never considered making a hiking pole/ cattle prod. Since this would be a dual use item, would it be considered UL?

They could be connected to a device that would generate and store charge as you hike.

So, if anyone would like to sign-up for beta testing, please PM warrgy.

Hey, I'M from Minnesota.

I think it's an awful idea, I'd rather have a sword in mine. Although on THREE occasions now I've used my poles to fend of mother grouse protecting their nests. I really don't try to hurt them, but when they blow up in your face like bombs, instinct kicks in... feathers everywhere.

Shock the crap out of them - cheesehead wanna-be's. But leave the squirrels out of this - they can't help it - just high energy.

So are grouse eggs omelets tasty? How about about w/ a side of roast mommy Grouse?

when you're done with the testing can i borrow them?

**Glebbber** · 03-20-2009, 01:32

Would it charge as you hiked from the spring motion inside?

On an other note. I have also been shocked by a disposable camera on accident. It was not fun.

**WritinginCT** · 03-20-2009, 02:07

you might (might) be able to market these to women that want to fend off obnoxious pink-blazers

**oldfivetango** · 03-20-2009, 09:22

Some company sells a combo unit flashlight and stungun that
packs about a million volts.
That should just about do it!

In the good old days we used to have great fun getting people to hold things hooked up to a model T Ford coil. The coils, however, would be a bit heavy to fashion to a hiking stick.
