My rule is anything smaller than my knees is gettin it’s ass kicked. I’ve got strong legs and decent form while kicking, and so far haven’t found a creature that size I couldn’t fend off with a good hit. So far that’s mostly meant wild dogs and a goose.
Damn this is a good point. I’ve never been anywhere where they’d be an issue.
I’ve always heard they’re quite slow on land though, is that true? If so, yeah I’m pretty sure it won’t like getting stomped really hard from behind.
I’m also not sure if I’m counting it if the animal is very long. The technical formula is total volume of animal > height to my knee, so I’d only try to kick a baby to juvenile croc. I don’t think my kicks would do much good to like a 300lb crocodile as long as I am tall.
if a wild boar is shorter than like a foot and a half ig I’ll have to grit my teeth and take a stabbing. I’m pretty sure that would have to be a baby or juvenile boar though, and as a general rule I think I can kick any babies.

They can go pretty fast over short distances.
But yeah, you could probably take a baby, assuming momma isn’t around.
just yoink it
How big are your knees?
I mean like total volume of creature > height of my knee.
Wild boar has used tusk to knee. It is really effective!

Nope. You can’t.
A goose? You’re scary!
