i have heard of teh hoods woods videos.

www.survival.com

i believe it says vietcong cross, and as far as i can tell that is the "apache star" that is a big wood cross with sharpened or unsharpened ends.  the idea is to double the amount of hitting points of a throwing stick, not to impale the animal.  i may be wrong, but that is what i get out of what it says.

so your serious,i thought rabbits were tougher than that. How much weight would be a rock have to weigh for a posum, not that youd ever catch me eating one but how much weight would be needed for those incase you diddnt have rabbits and had to trap scavengers.

that should do it, unless the rats are on steroids and wearing full plate armour.
Basically a paving slab type thing then ?
