A dirty big stick, a metal pipe, half to a quarter of a broom handle with a bicycle hand grip on the end, whatever is close by that I can physically lift and launch at someone.
Dress makers scissors are a good one too.
Why do you ask? big weekend planned? (I joke, I joke)

a hammer, police baton, machette, sling shot, ect....
a wooden rod thats used in closets for hanging up clothes
I like sticks, and a cane, yes a walking cane, Preferably made of mahogany or oak.
A nice length of rattan is good, I'd wrap it a few times in duct tape to keep it from splitting. Believe me, you can deliver a beating that won't be forgotten. You want the rattan to be about 1 and 1/2 inches across so you have a good solid grip on it, wrap your end in bicycle grip tape so it doesn't slip. Use it two-handed like you would a bastard sword and clean someone's clock.
jots down in memory..dont ******** anorak..espcilly if we're with in 50 feet of each other..lol
I like to think I'm a nice person jim, but people know me. Serious note though, I used the rattan weapons in training to fight medieval style battles instead of using steel blades. So I'm used to wearing armor and whaling the bejeesus out of people without mercy.
no dark allys for me .. 
kali stick, knife

A gift from the brother in law.
Wiredogs going medieval on your ass. love it man, thats just makes you want to RUN !!
The Winchester Bowie and knuckles are from my BOB.
Ok gonna throw this in the mix. A belt. A simple belt can be an effective weapon.
Even a set of car keys.
At home: forget mace. It's expensive and will affect you to in a closed room.
Instead, go to the dollar store and buy a can of wasp/hornet killer. Not only does it shoot about 20 feet. It's also flammable. Teehee!

Oh hells yeah, love hornet spray! Aqua Net is also good for a makeshift flame thrower.
I'm going to sound like such a horrid mother right now, but every so often I'll look at Fries and tell her to look around her and come up with as many things as possible within arm's reach that she could use to mess someone up with.

Being my kid, you can imagine how creative she gets.
hahaha! Speaking of Fries, tell her I said hi!
I will do so. She is so looking forward to the meet. Hubs says I'm raising her to be a sociopath by having her look at her surroundings in different ways and I just tell him that I raising her not to be a victim.
absolutely. This world need strong women. Power to you.
Just make sure you don't use hornet/wasp spray in place of mace... It is highly illegal and it doesn't work very well at all!

We like brake cleaner for killing wasps. I think that might be effective in someone's eyes!
i deffently like that..lol
just thought..if ya go to the spray paint section in dollor genral.you can find one of things you can put onto the spray can that keeps ya from getting spray paint on your finger tip.that might be a help when it comes to keeping flame from ya as well.pluse it might give ya a better reach as well..especilly if you use a long stem lighter
Personally I wouldn't use a closet dowel for a staff, I know I would crack that in half with my first swing if I connected properly, at that point it would be a nice pointy stabby stick and would be okay if I was only fighting one person. Yeah, my quarterstaff is a nice Chinese waxwood. Not only is the closet dowel too brittle, waxwood got a good bend and whip to it, so it will resist snapping, plus gives it a good whipping energy that can snap bone. Also in certain circumstances if you block it, it might still whip towards your head or face
Went out today and bought myself a Goretex Basha and Bungee cords a few more bits for my bob
Machete and a tomahawk are a must!! Any opinions on a good all around tomahawk that won't break the bank?
Personally, I like mace. I have used it and been sprayed 3 times with it. One thing to remember if you use a product like hornet spray or other chemicals there is the possibility of a lawsuit. I know it sounds stupid but it can happen. You may cause permanent unintended harm by use of an unknown product not made for that intended use. I gave small maces to my wife, kids and extended female family members for XMAS.
Inferno works best.

I just bought a nice set of throwing knives. nicely weighted, double edged and very sharp.
They'll be on my belt if SHTF that's for sure.
