A dirt cheap alternative to the high-quality spears I've taught you how to make. Made of PVC and mild-steel lumber straps. Check out Executor Lions!: / channel
I'm just imagining that he actually throws away the spear into like, a trash can or a recycling bin and some worker at a trash plant just pulls it out. Worker: "Boss, we got something new." Boss: "What is it?" Worker: " A spear, Sir."
Odood19 Yeah a lot of people like them. It's probably because you know they're cheap so you feel like it is the most accessible thing that you can make.
you are one of my top 3 youtubers i have been watching your vids for awhile now and your channel has grown by a lot thaks for the great content and insperation
great vids man. this is what you tube was made fore. Some with a great talent showing extremely high quality to a small (but not tiny) loyal fanbase. very refreshing from the multi million dollar sub channels.
Just found your channel, and not only are you extremely resourceful (reminds me of all the stuff I used to screw around with and try to build when I was a kid) your sense of humor is great Keep up the awesome work!
Hi Eli I've only been watching your videos for about 2 months I think but I love all of the and I've been really inspired to try and make some of my own weapons but I haven't been able to. But today I decided to try and I made a all wood knife I carved out of a Small rectangular piece of wood. Thanks for being a great RU-vid and keep posting more great videos
Thanks for the video. My friend and I made these and they are awesome. They work so well and are super sharp. If you can make a spear with interchangeable heads that would be really cool. Thanks!!! I am going to make a lot more of your projects in the future. Proud subscriber!!!
I love how objective you are bro. Chances are you'll never even see this comment, but just know you have that mindset that'll take care of you in even the most dire situations. Always support and respect bro keep on kickin ass!
Hey Eli, just wanted to let you know that your videos are amazing and they have inspired me to make some weapons of my own. I might send you some of them so you can let me know what you think. Keep up the good work.
I only recently discovered this channel, and I've been very impressed by the videos. I'm a new subscriber. That said, my one issue with some videos, like this one, is that the starting premise is: "How can I make a cheap spear if I absolutely needed one to survive, and only had a little bit of money?" but the spear, which is dirt cheap in raw supplies, is then crafted using power tools that you might not own, or specialty tools like the riveter that I do not own. I did like this video, but that's just a pet peeve that I've noticed in some similar videos.
Made one with a little added weight I put sand/dirt in on one side and capped it off so it could penetrate more I also added a few notches in the steel to give it a hooking motion so it can't be just pulled out 👌👌
There is only one problem with these, the opponent can throw them back.. What about making some simple roman style throwing spears? They are spears where the tip breaks off after hitting something, leaving the opponent with only a stick. You can maybe make it so that the tip falls off after throwing them you are still able to put them together without too much effort.
Or just coat the head with snake venom. You can't throw a spear back if your veins and arteries are bring destroyed from the inside, leading to a painful death due to internal bleeding
***** slight barbs (or just a serrated edge) and forgo the rivet and the blade would stick in the target. maybe (if you're using an angle grinder instead of a hacksaw) you could also cut a hole down the center of the blade to allow more bloodflow around the stuck blade.
Pvc will not shatter that easy if you store it out of the sun. Sun light and heat dries out the resin in the pipe. When we plumb in new homes we are required to paint the pvc above the roof for this reason.
Dangerous days,hmm I'll have to think about that phrase and what it means,but anyway your a promising guy,and I can see a really really bright future ahead of you in weapons crafting,and the fact that you come up with ideas on how to make weapons out of ordinary house hold items really impresses me,you just gotta use that technique in the wild,like knowing how to make weapons out of nature will really come in handy for the upcoming world in a few years,keep up the great work
That is the bare essence of a survival weapon, making something from whatever is lying around. I have made spears from broom handles, PVC, metal pipes, etc with anything from sharpened metal bits to knapped glass bottles for spear tips. It's about whatever you can make work from whatever material you can find. The key is to know that you need to make a tool for yourself, then apply human skill to get it done. Even though we live in a modern industrial world, it's good to know ancient survival craft. You never know when you will be lost in the woods, or in a plane crash or something in which your very survival may depend on those skills. And if you never use those skills in a real world situation; who cares? Making primitive tools and practicing survival skills in fun!
Hey buddy I have an idea for October how about you make tutorials about how to make an armor similar to deathstroke ( the best DC assassin ) I think your videos might get viral then or something but that's just a suggestion not forcing you to do it
If you're in the apocalypse, find a Hacksaw for the cutting, a fire for melting, your body weight for clamps, a bracing bit drill for the drilling, a file for the bevelling and a hammer and nail trick for a rivet
Made a relativly cheap, but sturdy spear. Most of the value is in the work, which mostly involves the wrap, and cutting of the slot for the head. broom handle (2.40$), heavy-duty throwing knifes (Ca. 3$ a pop), 14 kg fishing line (7$), and some glue, which i just had laying around
On the topic of tempering blades and the like there are a few forge designs out there that only require your blow torch to heat them if u still have it
what i did is take hose clamps and a sawzall blade and attached them to a metal broom stick from the dolar store and it is super cheap and goes thru metal and really deep into any wood and is fairly strong for a spear
This is why I subscribed to this channel. You could always fill the spears with cement to make them stronger, or fill the tube with something solid like wood and cap it off, so...cheap as fuck, and effective.
You can drill several small holes along the length of the spear and fill with foam, might make it stronger and keep it from exploding if it were ever struck from the side. Also will still be light weight. Just an idea!!
You could always replace the pvc with metal conduit. It's cheap and much stronger. And for those who don't have a a riveter, a nail and hammer can do the same thing, just takes more work. ;)
Can you make that armored wasteland jacket from homemade weapons part three also I like your project a weapon videos keep on making those videos and you will become what you always wanted to be.
Maybe to make them stronger add a fiberglass core? I don't know how bad that would kill the "dirt cheapness" but it's an idea. Keep up the good work ZNA
