after over nine years of a nomadic lifestyle (any MANY challenges the last 4month...) i'm now facing the challenge of settling down... . currently i'm renovating a little shed as my cozy little cabin (which is where i cut my finger with a circular saw...)- straight behind my back window is a forested mountain slope. twice in one week i had wild pigs rooting around @nite just a few metres away from my door... .as i'm planning to have a little garden bed (and my neighbor george the goat usually has some food laying around as well) soon as well i guess they will come around more often... .as i'm entirely alone in the evenings (+no phone) i intend to upgrade my defenses a bit (NOT planning to go after them!)... .
the solution which comes to my mind would be a boar spear... . i do not have a forge, so just plan to cut a blade from a leaf spring and lash it into a shaft (unless i can find more details about japanese boar spears, but there's a language barrier...). has anyone made a boar spear and what would be the best dimensions (my google search did not bring much apart from the ""cold steel"" version...)for both the spearhead and shaft?!
