Hi,
Welcome to The SURVIVAL ZONE BLOG, this is based on a monthly newsletter, but I will be posting here more frequently as I feel the need to share some of my thoughts and experience on various subjects that interest me.
This blog is a copy of my first newsletter and as I am new to this I welcome any tips, guidance or ideas you may want to share. I am also always looking for ideas or subjects of interest to my readers, so please feel free to let me know what YOU want to hear or talk about.
So with that being said, let's get to the article.
In opening this newsletter, I would like to emphasize that your personal awareness is the first and most important step you can take to protect yourself from danger. What I mean by “personal awareness” is being aware of your surroundings. Paying attention to details like body language, someone who looks out of place or even just your gut instinct could make all the difference in the world when it comes to your personal safety and a chance at self defense.
In most cases our subconscious is very keen about sensing danger and at very least should warrant a very close check of the immediate surroundings.Remember, If you feel like something is wrong, something IS WRONG!!! We often forget to believe our instincts, or brush small warning signs off. The fact is, we are animals by nature and to deny that we have animal instincts could be very dangerous.
Something as simple as this could save your life or prevent an attack from ever taking place.
The simple fact is, if you are unaware, you may not get a chance to defend yourself and while being aware is a great start, you should also prepare yourself for events out of your control. The sad fact is that bad things happen to good people every day.
1. One property crime happens every 3 seconds.
2. One burglary occurs every 10 seconds.
3. One violent crime occurs every 20 seconds.
4. One aggravated assault occurs every 35 seconds.
5. One robbery occurs every 60 seconds, or 1 minute.
6. Every 45 seconds a sexual assault occurs in the United States.
7. Out of every seven women in college, one of them has been raped.
8. However, nine out of ten women raped on campus do not report the
rape!
These are some very unsettling statistics for parents. If you have a loved one in college, or in high school, do them and yourself a favor and prepare them for their term on campus.
At www.securitysurvivalandspygear.com we offer a complete line of SAFETY KITS and a variety of KEYCHAIN STUN GUNS to keep your loved ones safe while on campus. This kit includes personal safety information and products that will inform, educate and supply them with the necessary means for surviving this period of their life without any undue problems.
While this is a time of learning and spreading their wings, there is also an element of danger. Because students are young and new to being on their own, they are prime targets for sexual assault. Add the facts that they are at an age of raging hormones, and the use of drugs and alcohol on campuses across the country is prominent, and the risks grow exponentially.
Please inform and prepare your loved ones with the necessary tools to prevent unnecessary harm!
A few simple steps could prevent you or someone you love from becoming one of these statistics.
Here are a few tips to help keep you safe.
1. Pay attention to your surroundings.
2. Trust your instincts. We are animals after all.
3. Travel in groups whenever possible.
4. Keep a flashlight handy for dark parking lots or structures.
5. If you have a Personal Alarm or Self Defense Weapon, make certain it is handy.
6. Have your keys in your hand and unlock your doors before you get to the car if possible.
I hope this helps you get into THE SURVIVAL ZONE and gives you some insight into protecting yourself against attack. Please join me next month for “Seven Affordable Strategies for Better Home Security”.
