Persuasive Essay Prompts

It can be hard to have to defend yourself on the fly, making preparedness a necessary by-word. Some of the best survival gear is the simpler gear, and some of it is even legal, even if it not for that use in particular. Pepper spray and blow horns are always pretty safe bets, as they can at least distract an attacker and give you that extra second or two to decide on how to take him down or run away. A roll of quarters is the old standby; not only can it help you pay for a ride out of the situation, but it is the basic fist load. For the same reason, old keys can be useful; they are never suspected of adding extra damage to a punch until they are actually used. Not quite fitting the pattern, but useful in its own right is an energy bar, as it can help balance you after a fight-or-flight response. By the same token, a pre-paid credit card is always nice, as it can be loaded up almost anywhere and gives you emergency funds anywhere you can use a credit or debit card.

Combine those items, and you have a number of options for defense, as well as ways to get out if needed. Keep in mind that when you are loading your purse or messenger bag, just remember to make sure that whatever you are using for personal defense is within easy reach. Not having easy access to the item to save your life can be a real pain, usually as you are going down.

Not
only will you need to be prepared for surviving a fight, but also in a disaster situation. There are a number of items any survivalist will need in an emergency. But some things are very important to surviving the future. One is knowledge on how to provide for yourself and your family during a disaster. If you are in a situation that requires you to survive in the outdoors, a fishing pole, a firearm, and a knife are some of your most important survival gear to have.

You can choose a lightweight fishing pole that folds up to fit into a pack.
If you need to fish for your meal find bait early in the morning or late evening. Red worms, bugs, pieces of other fish or game will work in an emergency. Keep your pole in hand at all times. Since this is for survival you cannot afford to lose it to a fighting fish. Take only the amount of fish you are going to eat at each meal and try to limit your meal to twice a day. A small firearm like a .22 rifle can bring in small game. Birds, squirrels, rabbits, fox, and other games will make a meal in the form of a roasting meat over a fire or as a soup
base.

Your knife is going to be one of the most important of your tools so choose wisely. Choose a strong blade with a good handle made for hunting. Your knife will cut meat, saw small pieces of wood, filet fish, gut animals to remove the insides before cooking, and protect you in an emergency. Keep it close to your body with a leg or waist strap. A good knife is worth the investment to provide for your care.
