Sticks are the great equalizer.

 

A 110lb girl vs. a hungry dog, the dog wins

A 110lb girl with a sharp 6' stick, vs. a hungry dog, the girl wins

 

Put that same girl with her stick against a larger animal like a lion or bear, and it's a 50-50 chance. Give her a dozen sharp sticks, and that bear/lion is done for.

If you have to cross ice, use the stick to test how solid the ice is.

As you cross the ice, hold the stick crosswise, so if you do go through the ice, the stick could help you get out.
