EASY TO FOLLOW RUNNING SAFETY TIPS!!!

Posted by Mandy Travis on Mar 15, 2017

Easy to follow running safety tips

In a fast paced world, you have limited time to think about your fitness, and running seems to be the most time friendly way to stay fit. But what most people do not think about is that they might be attacked while running. But if you were to follow certain running safety tips, you can severely reduce your chances of being attacked.

According to a recent study, one in five American women get attacked while running. So try not go running alone. If possible, try to get a partner with whom you can go running. Attackers always target women who run alone, as they are easier to handle than two women. Even if you are attacked while running with your partner, one of you can shout for help, while the attacker would be too confused as to whom he should deal with first.

Try to carry self-defense devices like pepper sprays, and panic alarms. Both of these devices are very portable. You can carry them in your pockets, and your attackers would not even know. While pepper sprays can be used to immobilize your attackers, the panic alarms can be used to let other people know that you are being attacked.

Other than this, try to change your route every couple of days, so that you can avoid stalkers. If you keep using the same route every day, you are making things easier for stalkers.

Always try to go running at mornings, and try to avoid running at dusk, or at night. Also try to run on the opposite side of traffic so that no one can abduct you.

While running, do not use earphones. If you are using earphones, you are not that alert to your surroundings, which makes you an easy target.

WHAT TO KEEP IN YOUR SURVIVAL GEAR?

What to keep in your survival gear?

A lot of people love to go to the woods to clear their heads, and get a much needed rest from their daily high paced lives. But what most people fail to do is to think of the problems that they may face while in the woods. When you are away from the cities, you are also away from day to day resources, and most importantly, you are away from people who can help you.

When you have to get everything done yourself, you need to plan for every possible thing that can go against you, as well as normal day to day things such as food, and clothing. During night time, you would need to light a fire, but you should not carry regular matches when going to the woods. You should always try to get waterproof matches before going to the woods. Also try to carry a portable stove so that you can cook, or boil water.

You should also carry flashlights so that you can navigate in the dark. If you have to look for something in your kit, a flashlight is always preferable than taking your entire kit beside the fire to look. You should also keep a blanket, as it gets quite cold in the woods at night.

Other than this try to carry a power bank cum jump starter. This will be useful when your mobile phone is low on battery. Other than changing your phone’s battery, the electrodes of the power bank can also be used to light a fire if you are out of matches. Just use some steel wool and dry grass, and you would have a fire in no time.

Also try to carry masks, small shovels, and insect repellents. If you have these in your survival gear you would be able to get out of any bad situation you may face in the woods.

HIT THEM HARD! A GUIDE TO SELF DEFENSE BATONS!

Hit them hard-a guide to self defense batons!

People who try to invade your personal safety are not only trying to hurt you, they are also trying to tell you that you cannot do anything about it. It is almost as if they are challenging you, and telling you that you are helpless. If you are not able to defend yourself, you are left with a low self-esteem, and a lingering thought of being bested by someone who could have taken your life they wanted to.

But if you own a baton, you can easily turn the situation around. In a recent interview, it was revealed that attackers tend to back off if they see that their victims have a self-defense device. Batons are mostly mid to short range weapons, so you will have to be a bit close to your attackers. But what most people fail to realize is that a baton not only gives you the physical advantage, but the mental advantage as well. The moment you take out your baton, your attackers would start questioning their decision to attack you, and most of them would retreat.

Choosing what kind of baton you want is quite important. Expandable batons which expand more than 20 feet should be used by people who have a shorter stature as this will maximize your reach. But if you think that you are not comfortable with a regular baton, there is always the option of stun batons. Normal batons can be snatched away by your attackers if you do not have a strong grip. But if you own a stun baton, your attackers would get an electric shock the moment they grab onto the baton. This increases your reach as well, and your assailants would want to stay clear of you.

Personal Safety Kits has more batons that nearly any supplier in the United States including expandable batons, key chain batons, stun batons, flashlight batons, bats and so much more!

Get the best kit for self defense

In today’s world you should always carry a self-defense kit that will help you to tackle any emergencies related to your personal safety. Even if you think that you are safe, you should not take that for granted.

Pepper spray is one of the most common yet reliable self-defense device that you can use. It is very portable, and quite easy to use as well. Most of the pepper sprays available in the market today have a range of 6 to 12 feet. This will give you the advantage to immobilize your attacker without going too close. If you own a pepper spray, you can subdue multiple attackers as well.

The baton is also a good alternative, but it is mostly chosen by people who know martial arts. But that does not mean that people with no self-defense training cannot use the baton. Owning the baton with a pepper spray will increases your chances of getting out of trouble remarkably. While the pepper spray can be used to stop your attackers from a distance, the baton can then be used to deliver quick blows which will not only give you enough time to get to safety, but will also give you the psychological advantage. The duo of pepper sprays and batons are also quite handy while intimidating a group of attackers.

Panic alarms should also be included in your self-defense kit. Personal safety can be breached in public as well, with people around you having no clue that you are in danger. Stalkers, and blackmailers often choose to gain the psychological advantage over their victims by following them, but the panic alarm can quickly turn the situation in your favor. If the people around get to know that you are not safe, and that someone is following you, that will ruin their chances of getting the psychological advantage over you.

THINGS YOU SHOULD DO TO STAY SAFE!!

Posted by Mandy Travis on Mar 01, 2017

Things you should do to stay safe

Most of the time women are attacked, it is when they are returning from work. After a long day at work anyone would be tired and jaded, which makes them easier targets.

So when returning from work, you have to make sure that you are not an easy target. Always try to use streets that are busier, and avoid alleys, and roads that are not well lit. If you are in a bad neighborhood or are late, always call a cab.

You might do everything right but still, may get attacked. This is why you should always think of increasing your chances of escaping. Try not to wear heels as you won’t be able to run at all. If you have to wear heels at work, carry a pair of normal shoes with you. Also, try to carry a self-defense device that would help to incapacitate your assailant.

Pepper sprays work quite well against single or multiple attackers, so you might want to buy one. They also have a good range of 8 feet, which will allow you to be at a decent distance from your assailant. Pepper sprays will give you enough time to call for help, and they are quite easy to use. The best part about using the pepper spray is that they do not require any training.

Stun guns and batons are also quite good alternatives. Both of these self-defense devices can intimidate your attackers to rethink their strategy, and often make them retreat.

However, you may feel threatened in a busy area as well. People are busy with their day to day lives, and hardly have time to look at people next to them. But if you manage to alert them, they will surely help you. This is where the panic alarms come into play. If you think that someone is following you, just trigger your panic alarm to let the people around you know that you are targeted. This will also make your stalker panic and leave.

STUN DEVICES – THE BEST AT INTIMIDATING AND INCAPACITATING

Posted by Mandy Travis on Mar 01, 2017

Stun devices – the best at intimidating and incapacitating

In case of sudden attacks, the best approach is to intimidate your attackers first. This will give you enough time to think about what to do next and weigh your options as well. If you are against multiple attackers, always try to single out someone you can take down, and in convincing fashion. The moment you incapacitate your target, this will give you the psychological advantage against your attackers, as they most likely thought you would go down without a fight. In most of the cases, the attackers rely on the fact that people tend to be afraid when they see a weapon, and they use that to their advantage. However, if they come across people who would fight rather than give in to their demands, most of the time they retreat, as that would not be worth their time.

Using stun devices is one way of intimidating and incapacitating your attackers. You can either go for a stun gun, or a stun baton. But choosing your self-defense devices is no child’s play. You need to think of the pros and cons you are going to face while using those devices. If you have no training in self-defense, then you should go with the stun baton. This device has a better reach than the stun gun, so you would not have to get too close to your attacker. The stun batons also have conductors on their sides, so your attackers won’t be able to grab them. Another advantage is that you can use it as a normal weapon by swinging it and staying clear from your assailants.

The stun gun should be chosen if and only if you have training in self-defense. Unlike the stun baton, the stun gun lacks reach, which means you have to be close to your attacker. This gives your attackers a chance to hit you back. But that won’t be a problem if you know how to defend yourself. You can even see it on the news how stun devices help women to stay safe from attackers. There have been many instances where molesters, and muggers got more than they bargained for because the women they targeted had stun guns or batons to protect them.
