Add a self-defense baton to the bug-out bag. It is not usually non-lethal, but you can use it if needed for your protection. Also, it can be a walking stick to assist you when walking a short or long distance.
There are many options you can do with a baton. For starters, expect that these days, if you end up in a hand-to-hand altercation, you’re going to be outnumbered at least 3 to 1– maybe even 10 to 1.
You might not be able to count on 9-11 coming to your rescue and getting there fast enough to save your behind.
The Self Defense Baton is A Very Versatile Weapon.
It has many options, and you can use it for distance striking, close combat, as a pressure point device, and as a multi-strike device. In almost any situation, it can come in handy.
You can make them lose consciousness or choke an opponent with the baton by striking specific pressure points on the human body.
The Self Defense Batons also Work Well as A Multi-Strike Weapon.
You can strike with it rapidly on the same spot, using the wrist and torque rotation from the body to increase the force. Each strike will build on the previous strike.
You can find batons in styles that are collapsible or in styles that are not collapsible.
Collapsible Self Defense Batons
The collapsible batons give the advantage of being easy to store and to conceal. You can hook them on a belt buckle or fold them up or even put them into a large pocket or the side pocket of your pack.
Non-Collapsible Self Defense Batons
These are more challenging to carry and conceal. Also, they are much more durable.

Self Defense Batons Requires Basic Training
I’ve been carrying a baton for over 15 years. The baton is a self-defense weapon that you’ll want basic training in using before you use it for self-defense. It’s not the kind of tool that you can pick up and use immediately.
While it is practically a weapon, it is not as intuitive in its application as a gun or a knife. Be sure you plan to practice with it before you need possibly use it in a real situation. Once you have some training in using it, you’ll fall in love with its ability to protect you. It sends a clear message in situations where only physical force will get your point across.

Wrap Up
The baton is a less-lethal weapon, but it’s useful in making your point and letting someone know they’ve crossed the line. If you don’t have any other weapon with you, then there’s no problem with using a baton– swing that bad boy as hard as you can at their head or legs. The goal is to hit their center of gravity (T12). Take note that not all states allow its use for civilian self-defense.
If you strike someone in the head with a bat or a baton, you will not kill them, but you might break their nose or put out an eye. You’ll temporarily stun them and give yourself time to get away.
The bat or baton is also excellent against an armed assailant. It is worth considering for your survival gear.
