Now, do a video showing how to use all the items that come in it. This is great just talking about it, but let's see some practical applications, like spearing and scaling a fish, starting a fire and eating the fish. Fending off a snake, etc. Great to yap about it, but much more instructional to actually show its usage!
Am awaiting the delivery of mine as I watch your video…with two empty sections, one could include a fire kit and tender, plus a stubby bic lighter, and a small plastic bag with tender or matches. The other I would add a rolled up small first aid kit, couple of bandaids, stop bleed pack, antiseptic wipe, small pill container with Tylenol, Ibuprofen, anti-diuretic tablet, and tiny flashlight. Maybe find a spot to include a rolled up survival blanket!
I just contacted their customer service today. The combined 8 sections weigh 3 lbs 3oz is around 54 inches in total length. The T handle is an additional $28.00 and 4 pcs rubber tips another $6.00. GetTactiStaff does not sale replacement tubes, the shovel or harpoon. 50% off at $99.00 currently. 6061 T6 aluminum wall thickness is 0.22...
Am currently awaiting delivery of my Tactistaff & experiencing 2nd thoughts after seeing all the hardware that actually goes into one --- is it adjustable? Out hiking, am I to be hauling all what of this gear around with me just in case? How much does it all weigh? Used in defense how much stress tolerance before it breaks apart. etc? More details would be nice.
Thank you very much for taking the time to share the assembly of the tools and staff. This is very helpful, nice job. I’ve been thinking about purchasing one to have with me for my early morning neighborhood walks. I can use it to keep the other (cranky) Boomers at bay. 😂 BTW, Liked, subbed and downloaded this video.
When it comes to walking sticks or hiking staffs or anything of the sort, I prefer to keep it simple. A solid wooden stick would do much better than something like this, Those screw points are liable to get stuck, bent, or just fail in other ways. If you need something that can compact down to a smaller space, a trekking pole would do better. Fewer points of failure and much lighter, though you wouldn't be using it to hit anything with really. Not to mention a trekking pole and regular wooden stick attracts much less attention. Plus, while those tools look nice, they're probably not very high quality at all. These sorts of tactical staffs are mostly novelty items for the tacticool crowd, not something to be actually relied upon.
@@ShadeSlayer1911 I got this staff today and it's not to bad. I brought it out of curiosity and I am an ex- Airborne vet and the knees need a little support from time to time :) I did research on this stick as well as others for the past 2 weeks. I would say you're correct this one is more for the tactical crowd. Not saying this is not good every day use. I don't intend to carry the tactical items unless I am going hiking. But I also ordered and nice wooden cane as well. I live here in NY and my concern is that this being considered as a dangerous weapon when I go on the train, or going into the VA or building where you have to pass security. My only issue was I got mine to the T handle and on one end of the handle they have added the glass breaker. I know I would get problems about this so I took one of the rubber feet that came with it and placed it over it. Over all I like it, I don't mind using it for going to local stores etc. But if I am going into Manhattan or building with security check points I would feel much better with a wooden cane. but if I am going hiking I will take the tactical cane all day long!
@@mixc8 Actually, for everyday, use, assuming you don't get in trouble for it, this thing is probably fine. I don't see it failing to hold up the average man's body weight during the normal walking or standing motion. That's mostly vertical compression forces, and most sticks, including this one, would do fine. It's using it for hiking or doing anything in the outdoors that I'm concerned with. The tools, they're probably low quality, and you're likely better off getting cheap and simple tools to put in your backpack if you want to have them on hand. I've seen reviews of these where the person actually tests out the tools, and they largely suck. Even for simple tasks, not even anything all that crazy, and they start to fall apart or at least loosen. We're talking tasks like whittling wood or cutting up an apple using the knife. On top of that, the chances of the staff failing you even just for walking increases when you're on rough terrain. If you use any of the tools like hammer or window breaker, you're likely to get the staff bent and the threads stuck, and it doesn't even take much force to do it. Actually, I hope you never have to use it to hit anything at all, as it really isn't made for it. All those disadvantages, AND you're more likely to get flagged by security and get in trouble with cops, ESPECIALLY in NYC, where you can get in trouble for even carrying pepper spray. Again, if you want to have these tools on hand, I think it's way better to just carry these in a simple lightweight hiking backpack or something of the like. If you must have them attached to a staff, I'm sure you can find creative ways to attach it to a solid wooden staff so you can do it that way. There's plenty of creative videos of people putting together their own wooden survival staffs. And while I'm not a huge fan of the ones that get too fancy either, they're probably still way better than this thing. I say all this because part of the purpose of a sturdy hiking staff is to defend yourself against animals or potentially even other people in the wild. A staff that is liable to malfunction or break during that process would be horrifically failing in its purpose. It's unlikely, but most things we think about are unlikely. It's why I have a simple hickory bo staff that I keep as a hiking staff. I don't do anything fancy to it. I just wrap the tips with type 1 paracord to prevent them from splitting from usage. I think the collapsible trekking poles are fine too, because they are obviously specialized for a different purpose. They're lightweight, easy to carry around, sturdy enough for trekking with, but are very clearly NOT meant for hitting anything with. The problem with these types of tacticool hiking staffs is that they are also not meant for anything serious, but they pretend to be, what with the weapon heads and tools hidden inside them, and a lot of people are going to think that they can be used as such, without testing them first. And so when you go to rely on them, and they fail really fast, it's bad news. AND they still attract more attention than either a trekking pole or a regular wooden stick. So you really are getting the worst of all worlds with this sort of thing. But if it works for you, then I'm not going to say it doesn't. I'm just saying I've done my research with reviews that actually test these things out and have seen enough of tacticool stuff like this to know it's a novelty that is meant to take money for not much function. Apologies for the long reply.
@@ShadeSlayer1911 I agree 100% the tools are nothing special are all. Any oddly enough I gave a call to the company and they called me back a few minutes ago. I told them there is no way I could get on the bus/ train or go pass a security check point here in NYC with the glass breaker on the T-handle. The person explained to me they don't sell them with out it and apologized . The tools I would never use so they are useless for me. Give me a good old trusty K-Bar :) And I don't go hiking that much, I will look for a better option for a tactical walking stick. I have a normal cane coming in for everyday use. Also being a martial artist I do find this cane a bit on the heavy site side for personal defense. I would prefer something much lighter. But I am going to keep it since I spent my money on it. I am sure I can find a good use for it. .
I just SHARED✅️ this video & SUBSCRIBED✅️ to your channel. Done & Done!!! I see you're now just under #500 total subs, up from just a few #100 @ the time of making said video. A goal you mentioned wanting to have first reached prior to moving forward via mention of still boxed Tactistaff 🎉 GIVEAWAY. Personally... I'm heavy into fishing. I will often times take to hiking towards the more unbeaten trail to reach those mostly secluded & more recluse bodies of water for the obvious reason of providing me w/, better fishing opportunities of course🎣. Being so, this Tactistaff sure could provide me w/ some added protection along the way. Not to mention w/ a varied number of tools & devices which also may prove being just as valuable if an opportunity for that matter should present itself on one of these excursions. So please now consider this comment, share & subscription trifecta I've provided as my formal entry way into what/or whichever giveaway process you end up choosing... Be it a drawing or selection process of sorts. I'm IN✅️. & thanks again for such an opportunity also. I hope to be hearing some updates about the 🪄 in the coming weeks... If not sooner 🥳.
i have a thumbstick i cut myself (free) and a swiss army farmer.when i would ever need a harpoon i carnt imagine.my knife as a saw with which i cut my stick.
Great assembly video. But I can attest this staff is garbage. Stay away from it. Bends easily. Tools dull and snap. Staff’s bottom has too small of a point to really dig into the ground. Also has no shock absorber like most trekking poles. Took it with me for a 5 day backpacking trip. Absolutely garbage. Get a hiking pole and decent knife, compass. Hell a lightweight folding shovel gives you a hammer, axe and saw. Really not worth it. Basically Chinese garbage. This will fail you. Guaranteed.

That would be fun!
The Tactistaff is a very interesting survival staff.
nobody pushing this staff is using it. just talking. I bought Not impressed.
The shiny part of the T handle is a hammer
Handy item.
Thanks!

Seems like a useful item assuming the build quality is decent?
Can you buy extra sections for taller people?
I don't know! But you could buy two. I have some available.
It looks pretty cool! I like it!
Please provide us the link of the product so that we can directly purchase it.
I don’t have a website yet. :)

Don’t have it packed. Hike with it in your hand fully put together. It’s not heavy and you can leave the sections home you won’t need.
3 pounds 3 oz
3 pounds 3 oz. fully loaded, likely under 3 pounds if you leave all the hidden gear at home, but if you do that, just get a wooden hiking stick!
U would think each section filled with stuff...can those blades be taken out...i think i saw they can
Yes, they are threaded in. Half the sections are empty.
@@CoulGuns007 ahh...i guess they dont come with extra stuff in them
@@clarkkenttheman they are set up for you to add your own tactical gear, like a fire starter kit, or a first aid kit, or even a space blanket!

@@CoulGuns007 wrong, slightly over 5 feet.
Have you seen the Tactical shovels? They look pretty cool too.
