Next time you’re on a plane, count the steps it takes you to get from the exit row to your seat. Try the same thing in your hotel, from your room to the stairs or lobby. When things get dark and disorienting in an emergency, having a basic idea of safety distance can be that one little thing that helps when seconds count. While it won’t be precise (that doesn’t matter), it’s a relative distance in your mind that can help you orient.

Your stalker may just be annoying you with text messages, emails, phone calls, and possibly unannounced visits. Assume they are going to act. Assume they are going to break the law. You never know how a stalking situation is going to end, so prepare for every possible outcome.

A high percentage of crimes and assaults take place in transitional spaces.
Transitional spaces are areas where you must pass through to get from one area relatively safe to another. These areas include stairwells, parking lots, garages, and usually, they are not possible to avoid.
Mitigate your risk by being aware, assessing the space you are about to enter from a safe distance and moving with a sense of purpose and belonging, while spending as little time in transitional spaces as possible. Consider moving through these spaces with others if possible; if not, and things seem out of the norm, avoid them at all costs.

Flooding from a hurricane can cause massive contamination risk. Take extra caution by using bottled water until the “all clear” is given by officials. As a last resort, boil water for at least one minute (3 min if at altitude) before consuming.

Be careful of personal water filtration devices; only use in a survival situation.⠀

If you are trapped in a crowd rush, don’t try to go against the flow. Once the crowd moves to a choke point fighting can cause you to fall, which is what often leads to death. Wait for the surge to pulse and then move to the side as quickly as possible to escape.

By design, a headrest in a car is almost always detachable and pointed at the end for an excellent reason. If you are trapped in a car, and the doors won’t open, remove the headrest and smash the window with it to escape. Hopefully, you never have to use this trick, but in an emergency, stay calm and know that you have a means of escape.

Next time you check into a hotel, request a room on floors 2-6 or “The Safe Zone.” This is based on the typical firetruck ladder being 105 ft. or the ability to reach up to the 7th floor of a building and elevator considerations if they malfunction or shut down. Ground-floor windows and doors are more likely to be broken into, so avoid the ground floor.

As we approach election season, we must remain vigilant against the onslaught of misinformation and deliberate manipulation that seeks to sway public opinion. We must be discerning and seek the truth amidst the information that bombards us daily, whether from social media, radio, TV, or other sources. These platforms can further various agendas, both genuine and deceitful.

It’s crucial to monitor domestic sources and be aware of potential foreign influences aiming to shape our perceptions. These influence operations can spread false or exaggerated claims, propaganda, or digital content to mislead voters about candidates, issues, or election procedures. Moreover, efforts to suppress the vote through intimidation or false information via social media may also be employed.

It’s 11:00 PM, your child is sick and the doctor calls in a prescription to the 24 hour pharmacy that happens to be in an up and coming part of town. Do you expose yourself and walk-in or do you use the drive-thru that is notoriously narrow making it difficult to exit your car if needed in an emergency, as well as being exposed with an open window while you wait on transaction? ⠀
What do you choose and why?

The main goal of our Members page is to provide education for those interested in improving their self-defense abilities. This includes enhancing offensive and defensive techniques to keep yourself, your loved ones, and your business safe. Achieving this requires gathering and understanding information, careful planning, and, most importantly, taking action.

Protecting different assets requires much knowledge and expertise to do so effectively and efficiently. Therefore, the primary aim is to offer valuable insights in manageable portions or small doses to help you safeguard your assets effectively.

Tunnel vision is a fight-or-flight response that occurs when your pupils widen and allow more light to pass to the iris.
The result actually improves visual acuity of distant vision but your peripheral field will be narrowed. This occurs along with increased heart rate and other symptoms of adrenaline rush when our body senses a threat. ⠀
If it doesn’t happen to you in an emergency you are in the small minority of people so you must prepare for the likelihood.
Small exercises like visualization can go a long way. Think about places you often find yourself and think about what you would do in a variety of emergencies. Go over these plans and think of improvements and contingencies as much as possible. It won’t prevent the biology but it will help you react with purpose and hopefully increase your chances of survival and safety.

One of the most vulnerable locations for a person is in their vehicle. More than 80% of all kidnappings occur while in transit, as well as carjackings, smash and grabs, and armed robberies.

AVOID DRIVING INTO FLOOD WATERS! If you must as a last resort, drive on the centermost portion of the road. Roads are constructed with a “crown” so the most shallow water will be in the center.

Spider bites outside the US can be scary because of the variety of dangerous species. If a spider bites you, here is a quick chart to help you understand what you need to look for in order to receive proper treatment. Disclosure, this does not cover all types of spiders and some may be more serious than others. If you feel at any time you need attention, don’t wait. Find medical help ASAP!

Movie theaters are dark, loud, and not ideal for maintaining 100% Situational Awareness (SA). Where do you think is the best place to sit to have the best advantage in the event of an emergency?

16/05/2024

When assessing someone that may be experiencing a medical emergency, keep in mind the levels of human normal that will help determine if or how fast next level care is needed. If observation tells you that someone is clearly out of the “norm” of these levels, its a good indication that this truly is a medical emergency and not a minor event. Always take a second to analyze a situation before rushing into treatment that is either not needed or could cause more harm.

With the changing of seasons, wood and metal materials can contract and expand leaving weak points. This is most apparent in overused doorways including the deadbolt and locking mechanisms. An annual check for these issues is simple but impactful. Simply open the door and make sure that when the bolt is open, it extends to at least 1 inch and is sturdy. Test for any wobble. If it is loose you probably need a new deadbolt.

Why is this? We as humans often fear the unknown and things we do not understand. There is a solution, and it is called training and familiarization. Always know what it is you’re praising or criticizing. Knowledge is power!

Social engineering is the art of manipulating people so they give up something important like money or information. The picture above is a great example. By not asking for money this person is playing on human empathy and eventually someone will give him a book. This act will generate a conversation where more layers of empathy from the beggar are added and eventually he will ask the book giver for money who will most likely give in to emotion.
Social engineering is complex and takes time and effort. The more important the information, the more time bad actors will devote to cornering the weakness of a victim and acting on it. Keep your guard up at all times, even with people you may know well. Meet new people and get to know them but always limit how much personal information you want to give them until you know they have no malicious motives.

Rule of thumb, you should always try to keep on eye on anyone in your house. Regardless, a window lock is something we don’t think of often but could be a natural entry point for a bad guy. Safe practice, always check them after any non-family/friend has been in your house. ⠀

If you ever get in your car and notice your gas tank has mysteriously gone to Empty without being driven, you may be in danger. By syphoning gas an attacker can control the movements of a victim. You can be forced to a nearby gas station that could be staged for an attack or it can leave you stranded in a dark parking lot. Whatever the case, if this happens and it is obvious, be safe and move to a public area or lock your doors and call for help ASAP.

Often times it’s human nature to take the path of least resistance. Putting a decoy safe in an obvious place can fool someone robbing your house and they will most likely focus on this rather than look through your house for other valuables. By having something that will occupy a few minutes of their time will mitigate the chances of them finding your valuable items elsewhere and gives more time for a police response if you have an alarm system in place.
