I know I have discussed this topic before, but it still bears remembering. when the police are just moments away, it is always seconds that matter. If you live in a city, town, or other urban area, nothing is ever more true, unless lady luck has decided to adopt you that day. When you live further from an urban area (even if it is just a moment or 2 by surface roads) think of what it means to have little to no protection in your home. There is a big thought to ask in regards to this. . . what is protection? I have talked to more than one person who believe they can make do with a baseball bat, or sword, or even a knife from the kitchen, but one thing I always ask them is where do you keep it? I remind them if they are in the wrong room of the house when trouble come a calling, there may not be time to go looking for the best protection they have on hand. This has given a few of them something to think on and devise better ways to make sure what is needed is closer to hand SHOULD the need arise. But this is only for an immediate threat to life limb or property. I have also taken the time to illustrate to folks I know the other things a bit more long term in scope, and most are aware, but again are ignorant of how to do what they need. Some of them keep a minimum amount of what is needed in life on stock where they live, but in some cases space is a big factor. you cannot store enough food to last a month in a single room barely able to accommodate yourself, unless you are a true packrat. . . but that again is diverting from the subject. what really is needed in this regard is something a bit more tangible in regards to something to guide the under educated. some survival books are out there, and I know you have a few that do folks well who read and retain what is in them. Yet again I am diverting myself from the subject. . . So here I will sign off thanking you for stepping up and illuminating the subject.
P.S. The word verification for this go round is yercop ;-)
