There is no denying that the world around us is becoming more dangerous with each passing day. This has prompted many to arm themselves or to take self-defense classes. However, there are many more who are either opposed to the idea of carrying a weapon or who haven’t taken the time to learn to defend themselves when necessary. And, of course, even the person who has diligently prepared can be caught off guard when they are unarmed and vulnerable. Fortunately, there are several everyday items that can serve as very effective weapons in a pinch.
Jeremiah Johnson of Ready Nutrition recommends several everyday items that can double as defensive weapons, including:
Sponsored solution from the Health Ranger Store: Lab-verified Nascent Iodine solution is a dietary supplement that provides your body with supplemental iodine to help protect your thyroid during radiation exposure. Nuclear accidents such as Fukushima (or nuclear war) can expose your body to radioactive iodine-131, a dangerous radioisotope. Pre-loading your system with stable iodine occupies the iodine receptor sites on your organs, causing your body to naturally expel radioactive iodine you may have been exposed to through air, food, water or milk products. This defensive strategy is recommended by nearly all health authorities, worldwide, including the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Discover more at this link.
Dale Goodwin of Survivalist Prepper makes some other excellent and practical suggestions in this regard, including:
Another practical tip is to always talk as loudly as possible to throw the attacker off balance, and not to comply with an attacker’s demand that you keep quiet and meekly go elsewhere with him. This type of meek compliance makes you vulnerable and has gotten many people killed. [RELATED: Self-defense is now illegal in the U.K.]
The two articles mentioned above have other excellent and practical suggestions and are well worth a read. [RELATED: For more preparedness tips and advice visit Bugout.news.]
Remember, the aim of articles like this one is not to promote violence. First prize is always to withdraw from or diffuse a dangerous situation whenever possible. It is simply important to be prepared and to practice a skill set that could truly save your life one day.
