Introduction

The world is a scary place.  There is evil among us that wants to do harm to us and all of humanity.  They don’t like you because of your religion.  They don’t like you because of your nationality.  They don’t like you because of the color of your skin.  They don’t like you because of your political affiliation.  While we will never understand why this hatred exists, we need to prepare ourselves to survive regardless of the circumstance. 

This book will take you through real-life scenarios and events, and put you right in the middle of it all.  Would you be able to do what’s necessary for survival?  Or will your physical and mental limitations cause you to freeze up?  The chapters found in this book will help you build strength—mental and physical.  They will also help you have a better understanding of how to be situationally aware of your surroundings so you have a game plan, should anything go sideways.

Chapter 1:  You Are Your Own First Responder

When tragedy strikes, our nervous system prepares us for the fight or flight response.  Which of these should be implemented is situationally dependent.  If there is an opportunity to get away from danger safely, that will always be your best bet.
