Well I know when I'm having a bad day all I want to do is smash shit up. Not surprisingly, there's a bat for that. But the Bad Day Bat serves as even more than a conduit for rage. With this bat in tow, after I smash shit up I can segue immediately into tending my battle wounds, and then seamlessly again transition to building a fort out of a trash bag and 6' of wire.
Jordan Estrada's Bad Day Bat doesn't just draw me in though alliteration and allusion to childhood favorite and the last book I read, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, it also stands (and presumably swings) on merit. The hollow aluminum bat has a paracord-wrapped handle and a hand-removable end cap that opens to reveal an emergency kit inside. If MacGyver were still at his mulleted peak, he'd be all over this niftily-housed ammo for the savvy urban warrior.
