I was impressed with this stick thing and will have to search it online. It is about 12-15" long when folded, covered with a nice braided leather look stuff then with a push of a button the extension pops out, sturdy & strong. It would be somewhat like carrying a small umbrella size wise.
Pitbulls are probably the most popular dogs on Maui, and many are at least mixed w/PBs. While I don't like "dog profiling", the failure of owners to properly train & restrain these dogs have resulted in many injuries and fatalities here. This protection stick is definitely the best defense I've seen, and probably interesting to defend against a human attack as well.
