My rock hammer weighs more like a pound and a half, so my ice axe would be a lighter better defensive tool.

About 3am this morning some animal, maybe a cat or raccoon got into my basement and flipped out. We could hear it running and screaming and bouncing off the walls and floor below. My dog went nuts and then IT went nuts trying to get away - I kept the dog upstairs. This went on for about 15 minutes until I got dressed and grabbed a flashlight and went down and turned all the lights on in the basement and sub-basement and left the doors and garage door open so it could get out. I knew that at the speed it was moving I couldn't use a weapon anyway and I hoped it wasn't a rabid mtn lion. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

My wife said I was brave, but then shes seen me run javelina and a lion out of camp waving my arms [ with a machete but still] <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
