This alarm is very effective for home, office, factory or any place that needs the constant security of a guard dog. Please note that it will sense motion through almost any type of wall (wood, cement, brick, stucco, glass, etc.) but will not work through metal walls, walls with metal studs, tinted glass, ultra thick barriers, or electronic devices.

DON’T PANIC, MAKE THEM PANIC

Posted by Mandy Travis on Feb 17, 2017

Don’t panic, make them panic

You can encounter a dangerous situation anytime, and it is in your best interest to let other people near you know that you are in a fix. Letting people know acts as a moral support. This also ensures that the attacker can no longer take advantage of. Panic alarms are the best devices to let people know if you are in trouble.

There are various types of Panic alarms available nowadays. One of the popular ones is the streetwise panic alarm, which is a personal panic alarm. If you feel that you are being followed, or that somebody may harm you, you can activate the alarm by pressing the sides of the alarm. The alarm is loud enough for anyone close enough to hear, and this will make your assailants think twice before approaching you. These alarms come with a key chain which makes them quite portable.

Door alarms are another type of Panic alarms that are quite popular. There are two variants of the door alarms. One is for car doors, and the other is for doors of houses. Both these door alarms differ hugely in their construction. The door alarm for apartment doors has a steel ring attached to the top, by virtue of which it is hung from the door knob. When someone tries to enter the room by turning the door knob, it sounds an alarm. The card door alarm is simple, and flat in construction. Although the principle is quite similar. It will let you know the minute someone tries to enter your car. These door alarms are quite helpful when you go for a road trip.

Another type of Panic alarms that are on the top of everybody’s list is the Streetwise nap zapper. This panic alarm lets the driver know when he dozes off while driving a vehicle. The nap zapper is similar to a microphone with an earpiece. If the driver of the vehicle starts to doze, the motion detectors in the nap zapper go off, and it lets you know. This panic alarm is a guaranteed life saver.

SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST (OR BEST PREPARED)

Posted by Mandy Travis on Feb 17, 2017

Survival of the Fittest (or best prepared)

Spending a day or two in the woods is the perfect way to get away from the fast-paced life of the cities. However, nature is as unforgiving as it is beautiful, so going to the woods without proper planning can be disastrous. So, whenever you want to go to the woods, always prepare a survival gear that is customized for your needs.

One of the most important things that you should always keep in your survival gear is a bear spray. Many people have the misconception that the bear spray can be used only on bears. That is far from true, as bear sprays can be used on any animal. The bear spray like the pepper spray causes irritation in the eyes and respiratory system of the animal on which it is used. A recent study showed that people using guns and rifles to protect themselves against animals have been attacked 50% of the time, while people using bear sprays have gotten out of trouble with little or no harm at all. This is because the bear spray has a range of 12 to 30 feet, so the animal will not be able to get too close, and the irritation in their eyes and respiratory system will make them leave even sooner.

But protecting yourself from animals should not be the only thing on your mind while sorting out your survival gear. You would also need tools and a multifunction folding spade can massively reduce the number of survival tools you are going to need. The shovel has a compass on its handle as well so that you don’t take any wrong turns. One side of the shovel is serrated and acts like a saw. The handle is foldable and can be used as a spade as well. The multi-function shovel can be folded in three parts, which makes it extremely easy to carry around, and it comes with its own carrying pouch.

Another great addition to your survival gear would be the T6 LED Headlight from Streetwise. This headlight comes with two XPE LEDs and a big T6 LED. The headlight is very easy to use, and can also be worn over any kind of hat or head gear. This headlight offers four different light modes that you can choose from, with the ultra-bright setting having a range of about 100 yards.

KEEPING DISTANCE WITH ATTACKERS

Posted by Mandy Travis on Feb 17, 2017

Keeping Distance With Attackers

While there may be a lot of different types of personal safety equipment available the pepper spray remains the most popular among both men and women. The main reason behind its popularity is its portability. Moreover, the manufacturers are trying to disguise these sprays by making their cases look like another day to day items such as perfume bottles, pens, and lipsticks. This makes them even hard to identify, and the assailants won’t know for certain whether their target has a pepper spray or not.

The different types of pepper sprays depend on the type and amount of capsaicin, which is the ingredient that makes the eyes water and causes respiratory irritation. The amount of capsaicin affects the heat generated by the pepper spray, and the type of capsaicin determines how long the effects are going to last. The pepper sprays from Streetwise are proven to be 40% hotter than the regular pepper sprays that are available in the market. Personal safety kits offer different pepper sprays, and at affordable prices too.

Using the pepper spray is quite easy, in fact, it is the simplest and easiest self-defense device to operate. You simply have to point the pepper spray at your assailant, and press. This will release the contents up to 8 feet, which is the general range of a pepper spray. Even if the contents of the pepper spray does not hit the target, it would be difficult for anyone to go through the cloud of pepper spray contents. Even going through somewhere, where pepper spray has been used can cause severe irritation and temporary blindness. If there are multiple assailants, you just have to use the pepper in all directions so that you are not blindsided by anyone. While using the pepper spray, you should maintain a distance of 6 feet from your attacker to get the best results.

Disguised pepper sprays give the user the element of surprise. Your attacker won’t think that a perfume bottle, or a lipstick case or a pen would be a pepper spray. Pepper sprays are not only effective on humans but on animals as well. It can be used to protect yourself if you are attacked by dogs. These sprays are also effective on squirrels, raccoons, and other small animals.

STUNNING SURPRISE

Posted by Mandy Travis on Feb 17, 2017

Stunning surprise

Crime rates are increasing alarmingly these days, and no can say for certain that they will be safe. It does not matter who you are, or where you live or work. Anything can happen at any point, and there are too many variables than you would have wanted. But the one thing that can stay constant is your personal security if you own a stun baton that is.

People have often complained that, while the stun gun is great at knocking out your assailants, they lack the range. While, the baton has good reach, but is useless in the hands of someone who does not have basic self-defense knowledge. This is the reason, why the stun baton was made. This personal safety tool not only has the punch of a stun gun, but also has the range of a baton, making it extremely useful, and easier to use.

Stun batons are available in different expandable lengths. Although they are not as expandable as regular batons, they make up for it by their ability to knock someone out. These batons are mainly available in two variants, the expandable one, which expands from 16.5 inches to 19 inches, and the non-expandable variant, which is 12 inches in length. Both of these variants have a rubber grip so that the batons do not slip out of hand during an emergency. They also come with a holster and a rubber belt loop, that makes them a little more portable. Both of these variants have multi levels of safety to prevent accidental discharge, including safety switches that need to be turned off before using. Both the variants have a power cord that can be plugged into a standard outlet.

Some variants of the stun baton also have a flashlight in the rear end of the handle, which makes it even handier, because you don’t have to pack flashlights anymore. The non-expandable variant of the baton has electrodes on the top of the baton and running down the sides of the baton. This is a standard double stun technology, with an extra pair of electrodes on the side. But the expandable variant of the baton uses a triple stun technology, which has electrodes on the top, middle and two sides of the baton, creating a much larger area of contact.

GAINING THE EDGE OR ADVANTAGE IN SELF DEFENSE

Posted by Mandy Travis on Feb 15, 2017

Gaining the edge or advantage in self defense

Violent crime rates in the United States increased by 3.9% in 2016 when compared to 2015. Authorities have urged people to carry self-defense products. Although most people would go for pepper sprays or stun guns, batons, and stun batons are good alternatives too. Most people think the batons and stun batons are hard to use, and that using pepper sprays and stun guns are easier and hassle free. However, what they fail to realize is the fact that batons are really good for intimidating assailants, which can result in the attacker fleeing without doing anything. Using batons for self-defense is not that hard either.

There are different types of batons and stun batons available but if you want the best selection, check out Personal Safety Kits for a wide selection of batons at reasonable prices. Different batons have different lengths ranging from 12 inches to 31 inches. People who do not know any form of self-defense are more likely to be overpowered by their assailants, and thus need a baton with longer reach so that there is more distance between the assailant and the user. People who have former training in self-defense can easily use batons of 12 inches and incapacitate their attacker.

Other than regular expandable batons, tonfa batons are also quite popular. This type of batons come with side handles. Using tonfa batons for self-defense are easier, as you can use both ends of the baton as opposed to the regular expandable batons. Tonfa batons generally expand from 12 inches to 21 inches, and it can be used as a regular baton as well by detaching the handle bar.

However, the most intimidating and easiest to use type is the stun baton. Some of these batons also come with a flashlight as well. Stun batons also come in different sizes ranging from 15 inches to 20 inches. The stun batons are multipurpose batons as they can be used as a regular baton or as a stun gun with a lot more reach. Generally, stun guns do not have much reach, but the stun baton solves that problem in epic fashion, which is why using stun batons for self-defense is much easier than regular stun guns.

HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT--A GUIDE TO DIVERSION SAFES

Posted by Mandy Travis on Feb 15, 2017

Hidden in plain sight

The best way to hide something is to keep it simple, because most of the time people ignore things that are right in front of them and go looking for something out of the ordinary. So if you manage to keep it ordinary enough, it will surely go unnoticed. Such is the idea behind the hidden safes sold at Personal Safety Kits. These safes form an integral part of home security as they are used to store valuables and keep them out of the sights of robbers.

There is a wide range of hidden safes that are available on personal safety kits. They can be used to store different things. Different hidden safes have different sized compartments, and thus should be picked carefully. If the purpose is to store jewelry, then one should go for a safe that has a decent sized compartment. However, for storing cash, smaller hidden safes can be picked as well.

But cash and jewelry are not the only things that one thinks of hiding. In most cases, people who have a licensed gun tends to keep their gun in hidden safes so that the gun is away from the children. Bookcase gun holders can be used to keep the gun well hidden. Hiding guns in hidden safes also give one the advantage in case of a robbery, as robbers would not expect someone to pull out a gun out of a book.

STUN GUN VS PEPPER SPRAY – WHICH ONE SUITS YOU BETTER?

Posted by Mandy Travis on Feb 15, 2017

Stun Gun vs Pepper Spray – which one suits you better?

Women often keep a stun gun or a pepper spray in their personal safety kits for self-defense. Most of the time they do so without thinking which would be better for them, and which product would increase their chance of getting away unhurt in the case of an unexpected attack.

Women who are short in stature should always choose pepper spray for self-defense. The pepper spray is mid range self-defense product which does not require the user to be near the attacker. The bear sprays have a range of up to 35 feet while pepper sprays which are mostly concealed as other products have a range of 6 to 8 feet. This makes it easier for women to use. Pepper sprays are also legal in most of the states with a few restrictions in the rest. Pepper sprays are capable of stopping a group of attackers in their tracks, as they can be used on multiple targets in quick succession. They are effective 95% of the time, but they can be rendered harmless in windy conditions.

Stun guns are available in different disguises such as perfume bottles, and mobile phones. While the stun gun lacks the range of the pepper sprays, they are much more potent. Most of the stun guns are capable of knocking someone out. While it is hugely beneficial against a single attacker, it may not be as effective against a group of attackers. Most women cannot overpower their male attackers and hence may fail to use the stun gun. However, women who have training in self-defense are able to use the stun gun for self-defense quite well. The stun gun is effective in almost 90% of the cases, but unlike the pepper spray, the effectiveness of this self-defense product is not affected by weather conditions. Stun guns are also inexpensive, and you can get a variety of options as well!

BRAINS VS BRAWN – BEING SAFE WHILE LIVING ALONE!

Posted by Mandy Travis on Feb 15, 2017

Brains v/s brawn – being safe while living alone

Living alone in an apartment is challenging in a lot of ways, and hence people often tend to focus more on how to get by the day, and not their own safety. A simple lock on the front door won’t keep you safe from robbers. But home security appliances are quite expensive, and not everyone can afford them. However, with the smart selection of products, anyone can beef up their home security.

The first thing robbers generally do is breaking through the door. So, using a door alarm is always recommended. Not only does it let you know that the door has been opened, it also throws the robbers off their game, and they start to panic. Check out the door alarms from top brands at Personal Safety Kits!

However, if the robbers do not flee on hearing the alarm, you have to protect yourself. Personal safety kits often come with a pepper spray. But it is always recommended to keep a baton or a heavy hitting bat along with the pepper spray. The first thing to remember is that the assailant does not know the layout of the apartment, so use that to your advantage. The pepper spray has more range than the other items, so it should be used first while maintaining optimum distance from the assailants. The pepper spray can easily subdue the attacker, giving you the chance to go at him with the baton or the bat. The assailant will not be able to counter as he would still be feeling the effects of the pepper spray. Now all that is left to do is intimidate him into leaving the apartment.
