3 Strange Self Defense Items You Should Carry!

When peo­ple think about self defense, they most often think about punch­ing, kick­ing, throws, etc.

How­ever, have you ever thought about how you’d sur­vive extreme self defense sit­u­a­tions such as:

*Riots
*Loot­ers
*Mass Attacks
*Hostage Cri­sis
*And other threats caused by civil unrest

Now many of you might think this is overkill. That’s fine.

But I’m of the mind­set that you NEVER know when an attack is about to hap­pen and in what form it will come.

Sept. 11 was a good exam­ple of that. So was Kat­rina. And look at all the demon­stra­tions that are hap­pen­ing these days? It doesn’t take much for these things to turn ugly…FAST!

So here are 3 of the “weirder” self defense items most peo­ple don’t think about car­ry­ing, that I feel you should have on you at all times:

1. Mini-Prybar

The num­ber of uses for a pry-bar are endless.

The model I carry is the “Exhumer 8″ from Dead On Tools.

If you’re on the run or bug­ging out, you can use it for breach­ing obsta­cles, gain­ing entrance to a door or even get­ting out of a trapped car.

I have mine wrapped in 550 para­cord and it’s a beast of a self dense tool as both ends are bru­tally sharp and will seri­ously jack some­one up!

2. Uni­ver­sal Hand­cuff Key

As con­tro­ver­sial as it may seem to some, you want to be able to escape from hand­cuffs if you need to.

There are plas­tic keys now that fit nearly all (or all) hand­cuffs uni­ver­sally and take up no room at all.

I use the one from Magna Light and I’ve sewn my pants tag par­tially closed so it cre­ates a snug pocket to hide this key.

If you’re ever hand­cuffed behind your back (as in say a home inva­sion, hostage sit­u­a­tion, etc.), you can eas­ily get the key and unlock your­self or hand it off to some­one else to unlock you.

3. Secu­rity Officer’s Badge

The thing about thugs is that they know that the stakes are much higher if they attack a police officer.

Now, I’m not say­ing to imper­son­ate an offi­cer, but let’s say you get trapped in a riot as a result of a demon­stra­tion that went hor­ri­bly wrong.

Assum­ing that police aren’t the tar­get of the demon­stra­tors, hav­ing a badge that looks like an officer’s badge could ward off attack­ers who think you’re just another easy mark as they ram­page through the area.

You just take out the badge and tell them to “Back off! Just go your way and I’ll go mine and nei­ther of us need to make this an issue. Got it?” and then back out to safety as you assume their agreement.

There’s a bunch of other stuff you should carry as well.

In fact, I actu­ally carry 29 URBAN SURVIVAL RESPONSE ITEMS on me at all times!

These are all items you would use for sur­vival or dur­ing an “escape & eva­sion” sce­nario where you were tar­geted or caught up in a vio­lent attack, (such as in a riot or loot­ing as a result of nat­ural dis­as­ter, etc.)

If you want to see all of the items AND how to use them to sur­vive ANY sce­nario, then check out our web­site at:

Now you’d think that 29 sur­vival items would make you look like you’re loaded up for a trip up Mt. Ever­est, right?

But actu­ally, no one would ever know you’re car­ry­ing this stuff!

All of the items fit in a small sur­vival bag (that’s only 7″ x 8.5″) that I keep on me, either in a lap­top case that I’d nor­mally carry any­way, on my per­son, or in my “every­day bag” from my mil­i­tary days.

It’s lit­er­ally almost like hav­ing a Bat­man Util­ity Belt on you at all times!

You can decide what works best for you, but I’d per­son­ally feel naked with­out these sur­vival items. The con­fi­dence you’ll have that you’re pre­pared for any­thing is a real com­fort in today’s world.
