Throwing Knife, Throwing Axe, or Throwing Log?
Bringing the art of improvised weaponry to a whole new level, a camper in northern Georgia used a potential piece of firewood to assault a would-be Yogi that was trying to steal his family's pic-a-nic basket.
The story doesn't detail if the log was mod'd specifically for combat use, if it featured a 550 cord-wrapped handle and/or lanyard, or whether if it was drawn out of a quick-draw kydex sheath. Nonetheless the feature-lacking combat log was used to quickly dispatch the woodland foe.
Ex-Marine kills bear with log, gets ticketed
HELEN, Ga. - A former Marine killed a bear with a single blow — by tossing a log at its head.
The bear had snatched the family's cooler from their campsite in a national forest in northern Georgia. The 300-pound black bear was taking its loot back into the woods when Chris Everhart's 6-year-old son threw a shovel at it.
Everhart says the bear started charging, so he grabbed the first thing he could find, which happened to be a log from the family's firewood.
Everhart lobbed the chunk of wood, hitting the bear in the head and killing it.
"(I) threw it at it and it happened to hit the bear in the head," Everhart said. "I thought it just knocked it out but it actually ended up killing the bear."

It may not have been as graceful as a a well tossed throwing knife, but it certainly gets a 10 out of 10 on the "primitive weapon" scale.
Look for a whole new line of tactical logs to be introduced this fall by Blackhawk.
