"its use as a weapon is secondary. I plan to carry fence staples and a fencing tool as well on scavenging runs in buildings were i can use the bat as a spool to string the barbed wire acrossed doorways in preperation of an attack by zed or other raiders. It could be used for trip wires, traps, even wrapped through the handles of a double door as a way of barring it shut. The spikes are extra and not nessecary but preferable.

the pvc pipe idea has some potential even with the spikes, it would just need to be bigger than i had hoped. I planned for it to ride high on my left hip on a second belt because I have enough on my back but it could be strapped to my back pack as well"

"a baseball bat used as the stick to unspool it is too bulky and needless but 74 pounds of barbed wire is your answer. I had only planned to carry at most a tenth of that length and bulk wrapped tightly around a narower object than the center of that reel. secondly im not proposing the weapon to anyone im ASKING if any one can think of a way to carry it in a method other than in the back of a truck. obviously I've come to the wrong place, as I cant seem to get a straight answer on the subject, and out of 16 posts ive got two people who told me to put it in a pvc pipe (a decent response) and a duffel bag (acceptable but not preffered) great im not even gonna bother watching this thread any more because im pretty sure if I asked "why is the sky blue" you would answer "I hate the sky it rains on me, and blue sucks"

BTW thanks for the amazon link i almost forgot how to use the "intermenet" to buy things with my mommys "magic money card""
