: Someone once said that a bullwhip was useful in a "non-lethal" situation. I sometimes go hiking by myself in wilderness areas. I am always armed. But you can't (and don't want to) shoot a where it could be a danger to others. It is a last resort only. Would a bullwhip be useful? Could it drive off animal attacks or snakes? Or is it too unweildy in close areas? Your thoughts, please.
Yes, the bullwhip is capable of severing a snake, and I
have found out firsthand that a good loud !!!! is enough
to drive most any animal off. Animals don't like the sound of
a whip because they perceive it to be... well- threatening!!! :)
