To impale himself lol. Rarely do i bring irons inside, slows you down, catches on everything, you need your hands. Leave irons in a grabbable spot.

An axe isn’t bad if you hold it by the head and poke around with the butt of the handle. Probably depends on the axe though

I see some value in that, but could you tell if you hit a baby with an axle handle?

I practice hitting babies with axes on the reg! So I think I know what it feels like.

We had mini pike for years to do searches, only about 3' long, nice and lightweight and not as catchy
