Potter: Surviving anything I can throw a tomahawk at

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready ...

I have a FastHawk Tomahawk I keep under my mattress.

I’m sorry, did you have a better idea of where to store it? I didn’t think so.

That’s where it was when I needed to scare off the devil cat attacking my cat, and for the most part that’s where it stays. As much as I like looking at the thing, it really has no practical functional use in my life, until now — when I decided to learn how to throw it.

I know, super cool. In a survival situation, I consider joy and a bolstered sense of confidence and manliness necessary, and both can be obtained with one single toss of a tomahawk.

Throwing a tomahawk into a tree is one of the most satisfying things I’ve ever done. (I guess my life is lacking in satisfaction.)

When you watch my video above, you will observe complete and utter joy, as well as pure manliness.

(Throwing a tomahawk probably gives womanliness as well.)
