Fighting is something that can and does terrify most normal people. This is because most people are good people who don’t want any trouble. With that said, there’s no denying that these situations – while totally avoidable – do happen. It’s also fair to say that they follow a few different patterns. One part of …
Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth. Mike Tyson Truer words were never spoken, we all like to think of what we would do in a self-defense situation – usually with no experience in dealing with those situations.

When you’re out in the wilderness, it’s possible that you may have to take water from a lake or river to refill your bottle(s) – if you’ve got access to them. With that said, you can’t always drink it directly; there could be all kinds of funky things in it which will make you sick. …
