Just a few of the uses I have found for my Primitive Spear.
Walking Stick: I'm an old man and my body isn't as capable of doing the things that my mind thinks it can still do. Using my spear as a walking stick helps with balance in uneven terrain.
Gigging Frogs/Fish: This can be accomplished with the hardened wooden tip of the spear itself, but external items can be lashed to the tip as well, if available.
Tracking Stick: A couple of elastic bands or even well-tied cordage helps measure animal paces for tracking purposes.
Fishing: A little paracord or other cordage and a homemade hook, and you're set.
Use as splint for leg breaks: If no other splinting items are available, your spear can be used (as a last resort, of course).
Extension of Human Arms: A nice sized spear can keep a human further away from invading animals, to keep them at bay.
Leverage: If no other branches are available, the spear can (in some cases) be used as leverage to assist in lifting/moving heavy objects.
Checking Logs/Brush for Snakes
Digging Stick
Traditional Spear: Although not meant for throwing (it could though), spears are ideal for thrusting, jabbing, and stabbing into prey.
