Without electricity building stuff is going to be hard. Nails work great, but it is easy to run out of building supplies when all the stores are closed forever. When that happens you have to go old school. That means drilling holes and using wood pegs to hold things together, That means you need this Hand Auger Drill!

Pre Disaster

Pre disaster this Hand Auger Drill is an awesome camping and hunting tool. When it comes to making semi disposable lodgings out in the wild this Auger gives me tons of options. Drill some holes, make some pegs from limbs or saplings, and I can build a sturdy shelter to withstand whatever nature throws at me. It is also a great way to build hunting blinds without scaring off everything in earshot. Hammers, nails, and power tools are loud!

Post Disaster

Post disaster I will be using this Auger to do everything from building new living space, lookout towers, and of course defenses.

This Hand Auger Drill is perfect for drilling holes in logs so you can put spears on them and make defensive structures. It may not kill scavengers or the undead – but it will slow them down and give you more time to react. In the middle ages these were called Cheval de frise and were used to stop cavalry charges.

Use a large gauge auger with a hex bit and drill holes all the way through the logs. Sharpen lengths of wooden spears and drive them through the logs. If you cut the saplings correctly the spears will lodge halfway through. Several ranks of these they will hold off a horde long enough for you to escape. Or mow them down, depending on how many you have coming at you and what your ammunition status is.

Your ability to survive comes down to how well you prepare now!
