Preppers don’t stop using their survival skills even when they’re not in their homes or gardens. In fact, preppers are always practicing situational awareness, a skill that’s particularly useful in crowded areas like a shopping mall. (h/t to ModernSurvivalBlog.com)
While other people are relaxed and carefree at the mall, preppers know that they need to keep their eyes and ears open to quickly identify any potential danger. This doesn’t mean preppers can’t relax and have fun – it just means that they’re always aware of their surroundings.
Situational awareness is defined as “having the mindset in which you are constantly evaluating your surroundings for dangerous situations and any potential threats to your safety.” This includes big threats like terrorists, or smaller (but still dangerous) ones like muggers at the grocery store or at the mall parking lot.
As a prepper, you must always practice situational awareness so you can avoid dangerous situations whenever possible.
Below is a list of personal security tips that preppers should remember whenever they’re out shopping. The most important tip is to look for “potential trouble out at the peripheries.”
The list below is especially important for women who are often physically smaller compared to men. However, men who lack situational awareness, combined with an appearance of vulnerability, are also at risk of becoming a victim.
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.
