    ATEP Emergency Preparedness Blog
    Self Defense Tools For Emergency Preparedness


    Self defense tools are intended for individuals that are pro-actively preparing to defend themselves from brief aggressive encounters, or situations of violent activity.
    Potentially dangerous situations can arise at any time, but the fact is, the threat of violent activity tends to escalate during disaster situations. People tend to panic and tensions are high during many emergency or disaster events.

    Why Consider Self Defense Tools and Non Lethal Weapons?
    Because you DO have a right to defend yourself and protect your family, your property, and your physical well being.
    Educate yourself below on the choices of defense tools, and non lethal weapons that are available.

    On This Page:

    Self defense tools, and non-lethal weapons are intended to counter an attack, render the assailant ineffective, or at least dissuade the attacker from continuing the assault.
    Everyday objects, such as baseball bats or a pair of car keys, can be used as improvised weapons for self-defense, however they are not likely to be as readily accessible or effective as tools that are built and intended for that purpose.

    When considering a self defense tool, educate yourself on what the tool is best used for. It would be wise to take time to practice using the tool (obviously on an object, not a person), to get a "feel" for what the tool can do, and to become more comfortable using it.
    When using self defense tools or weapons, unless a person is well trained under stress, or familiar with the use of their weapon, they are frequently at a disadvantage using them in a high stress situation.

    NOTE: There may be legal concepts behind using self-defense items, if the tool being used is considered a "weapon". Be sure you make yourself aware of your local weapon and restriction laws before purchasing any weapon, lethal or non lethal.
    Self Defense Tools and Non Lethal Weapons

    Defense spray's and personal stun guns are considered non-lethal defense alternatives, these tools are intended to be used in a more passive way. They don't have the same lethal potential as knives or guns. Non Lethal Weapons are generally used for emergency defense measures rather than attacks.
    Mace Pepper Spray


    Both terms "Mace" and "Pepper Spray" are frequently used interchangeably due to the brand name Mace™, but they are two different products with their own formulations.
    Mace™ Brand typically blends 2 different components: OC pepper and Tear Gas. You get both immediate OC effectiveness plus painful tear gas concentration.Mace™ Brand carries several different types of formulations, the newest being: spray-foams, and spray-gels. Mace™ Foam is hard to get off and smears back into the face. Mace™ Gel is "slimy" and sticks to the person in a gooey mess, it also has a longer range than the original liquid spray.

    Pepper Spray
    Pepper spray, also known as OC spray, and capsicum spray, is a chemical compound (originating from the oil of hot peppers) that irritates the eyes to cause tears, pain, and even temporary blindness. It is used in riot control, crowd control, and personal self-defense, including defense against dogs and bears.

    Pepper spray is an inflammatory. It causes immediate closing of the eyes, difficulty breathing, runny nose, and coughing. The duration of its effects depend on the strength of the spray but the average full effect lasts around thirty to forty-five minutes, with diminished effects lasting for hours.
    Pepper spray typically comes in canisters, which are often small enough to be carried or concealed in a pocket or purse. Pepper spray can also be bought concealed in items such as rings or pens. Pepper sprays usually have a range of 5-20 feet, giving a person more space between themselves and an attacker.
    Pepper spray is inexpensive and non lethal, but you have to be very careful in using the product. You must know that pepper spray is only to be used for self defense. So misuse of the product will be penalized by law for irresponsible behavior. How-to-use information is important to ensure that you get maximum advantage when using it on an assailant.

    Hand-held Stun Guns

    A stun gun is an electrical self-defense device that uses high voltage to stop an attacker. Touching a person with the prongs on the stun gun quickly immobilizes the attacker. However, because the amperage is very low, no serious or permanent injury is inflicted.
    The stun gun is designed to key into the nervous system. It dumps its energy into the muscles at a high pulse frequency that makes the muscles work very rapidly, but not efficiently.
    Although there is no significant effect on the perpetrator's heart and other organs, you have the time you need to get away and call for help. Stun Guns are a direct-contact-weapon not to be confused with a Taser which delivers electrical shock remotely by means of barbed contacts connected by wires.

    TASER Devices

    A Taser non-lethal weapon, is a conducted energy weapon that utilizes compressed nitrogen to shoot two small probes up to 15 feet. These probes are connected to the weapon by high-voltage insulated wire.When the probes make contact with the target, the weapon transmits powerful electrical pulses along the wires and into the body of the target through up to two inches of clothing.

    Some tasers, such as the new TASER C2® series, can stop a threat up to 15 feet away (4.5 meters), allowing you a safe distance to protect yourself and family from an attacker. If a close quarter defense is warranted, the C2 doubles as a contact stun device to repel someone as a powerful and unexpected backup capability. (Can also be used as a regular stun gun)
    Taser Devices have been shown to be extremely effective in taking down even the most aggressive person. Because of their extreme effectiveness, they are considered to be the best choice non lethal self defense weapon available to the public.


    Personal Alarms - Sonic Weapons
    Personal Alarms (sonic weapons) are a way to practice passive self-defense. A personal alarm is a small, hand-held device that emits strong, loud, high pitched sounds to deter attackers because the noise will draw the attention of passersby, they may also be used as sonic weapons to distract an attacker.

    Self Defense and
    Home Safety

    Home Safety Products

    Home Safety Products cover a wide range of topics all focused on keeping you and your family safe in your home. Home Safety is perhaps the most important thing in your life. Where else do you have an absolute expectation of being safe other than in your own home?
    There are several new and inexpensive ways to protect you, your family, and your home, we'll cover a few worth mentioning below:
    1. Wireless Security Systems are quite impressive. They require no wiring of any kind, and can easily be installed by anyone. No expensive monthly bills or frequent visits by an installation technician.
    2. Home Alert Alarm Systems let you know if someone is coming up the driveway, alert you of intruders, unexpected visitors, theft, mail tampering, or even dangerous areas for your children. For perimeter defense, there are numerous motion detection alarms that will alert you whenever someone is in an area they aren't supposed to be.
    3. Hidden Cameras or Nanny Cams now have cutting edge technology with a built in DVR which means you do not have to have a separate recording device. No cables or wires to run. They feature motion-activated recording that starts as soon as motion is detected.
    4. Phone Dialing Alarms can be set up in the house or outside the home depending on what level of protection you are seeking. Some home safety devices will even call your cell phone if they detect a presence in an area that you have under alert.
    5. Child Monitoring Alarms function as locators or device alarms by triggering an alert when the child goes... or is taken, beyond the set distance of the alarm.
    Awareness, Avoidance, and Flight
    Being aware of potentially dangerous situations and avoiding them by thinking ahead is an alternative method to using self defense tools, as is leaving the situation where possible. This is often considered safer than attempting to defeat an attacker.
    Due to its non-physical nature, awareness and flight are emphasized heavily in women's self defense classes where it is assumed that the attacker will probably be larger and stronger than the victim.
    De-escalation
    De-escalation is the use of voice, tone, and body language to calm a potentially violent situation before violence actually ensues. Terms such as 'verbal judo' are used in reference to de-escalation, because the verbal tactics are similar to the physical tactics in the martial art of judo.
    Which ever self defense tools, non lethal weapons, or home safety methods you decide to consider, make your choice...
    before it's too late to make that decision.





    In some countries, it is legal to carry self defense tools and weapons (for example knives, firearms or pepper spray) for purposes of self-defense. In other countries this may be illegal or may require a license. Some items may be legal to carry without a license, while others, most commonly firearms, are not. Check your local laws before you make a purchase.

    Polyphenols In Green Tea Found To Protect Cells



    April 25, 2011
    by Personal Liberty News Desk

    While testing the effects of green tea in a model that simulated the gut and its digestion process, researchers from Newcastle University's School of Agriculture, Food and Rural Development found that the compounds contained in the beverage helped protect healthy cells and prevented tumor growth.

    The team of scientists sought to discover whether health claims about green tea could be validated, since the drink's antioxidant properties had not been tested during or after digestion, when the body would absorb the polyphenols.

    "There are certain chemicals we know to be beneficial and we can identify foods which are rich in them but what happens during the digestion process is crucial to whether these foods are actually doing us any good," said lead researcher Ed Okello.

    The researchers found that the digested polyphenols were effective in protecting healthy cells and inhibiting growth in a tumor model.

    Authors of the study noted that there are many factors to take into consideration when it comes to disease prevention. They said that diet, exercise and positive lifestyle choices may all contribute to optimal health.

    Urban Survival Skills You Can Learn When Moneys Tight

    April 25, 2011
    by David Morris

    Welcome to this week’s Urban Survival Newsletter, brought to you by SurviveInPlace.com and UrbanSurvivalPlayingCards.com.

    Urban Survival Skills
    You Can Learn When Money’s Tight
    This week, we’re going to talk about how to get prepared for disasters when you find yourself already in “survival” mode.
    Sometimes life can throw you a curveball and make preparations difficult. It can be difficult because of finances, health, family issues, or any combination of things. In fact, a lot of people who are switched on and see trouble on the horizon are already in a sort of survival mode. I hear from people on a daily basis who see trouble coming, but are on Social Security or who just got laid off and don’t have money for buying lots of supplies.

    And I hear from others who aren’t in that extreme of a situation, but who are barely making it with the income and expenses they have right now, without additional survival prep expenses.

    But if you’re in either of those situations, that doesn’t excuse you from making continual forward progress on your preparations.

    The risks that we face to our way of life don’t care about whether or not we’re ready. I don’t think I’m going to get a call before an EMP, terrorist attack, an economic crash, or earthquake to make sure that my family is all set. And I doubt you will either. These risks don’t really concern themselves with whether or not my 3 year old is having screaming fits during the day and my 9 month old is teething all night…again.

    These things just happen when they happen.

    They happened to a student from Missouri who was going through the SurviveInPlace.com course awhile back. She emailed in about some rough financial times they were going through and how everything seemed to conspire against them at the same time. Long story short, they kept making forward progress on their preparations and got through their rough patch. They didn’t think they would, but they did.

    In fact, last week they emailed in and asked how they could pay for another copy of the course for someone else. Basically, they want to “pay it forward” and give someone a free copy of the course. In a little bit, I’m going to tell you how you can get a FREE copy of the SurviveInPlace.com Urban Survival Course that they generously paid for.

    But first, I want to go over some survival skills that you can be working on, no matter what your current situation is.

    Financial situations can turn on a dime, and that’s one reason why it’s so important to focus on survival skills instead of just focusing on survival “stuff.” Some stuff is important, and it definitely helps compensate for a lack of skill and/or makes survival tasks easier. But the great thing about focusing on skills instead of stuff is that you can practice one survival skill or another no matter what your current situation is.

    In fact, one way that you can and look at your situation if you’re currently in “survival” mode is that if a catastrophic event happens, your life won’t be disrupted as much as it could be. I often game EMP (electromagnetic pulse) events in my head. When I do, one of the things that I always think of is how tribal people around the world who live without electricity won’t even know that anything happened. They’ll just go on with everyday life like normal.

    A lot of the survival skills that these tribal people use are free or next to free to practice. You might want to make a list and make a goal of doing one of these every day. If not every day, at least try to do one each weekend.

    11 Survival Skills That Are Free or Inexpensive To Learn and Practice

    Fire: Practice making a fire from tinder, kindling, and one match. Move on to using flint and steel, flint, magnesium & steel, a Blast Match, or a fire piston (diesel). Then, move on to a bow drill. This is all stuff that you can do in your back yard. I practice this with my 3 year old. He likes watching the sparks, seeing the smoke, and he REALLY likes getting smores as soon as I’ve made fire. As a note, when I’ve got ideal tinder, I’ll use a sparking device, but if I don’t have perfect tinder, I prefer using a bow drill and a nice big coal.

    Think you can’t do this? I’ve even taught people how to light tinder with a spark in a hotel room bathroom with a piece of aluminum foil protecting the floor. Do this at your own risk. I’ve got to especially warn you not to make enough smoke to set off a smoke detector OR set anything on fire.

    Char cloth: Char cloth is basically very thin pieces of charcoal made out of 100% cotton. It will take a spark almost immediately, burn hot, and burn quite awhile. Here’s a QUICK how-to guide to make your own.

    Take a 100% cotton shirt, sheet, or any other piece of 100% cotton and cut it into 1 or 2 inch squares. Then, drop the cotton squares into a CLEAN tin can until it’s full & cover it with heavy aluminum foil. You can secure the aluminum foil with baling wire, but it’s not vital as long as the foil is on tight. Next, poke a small hole in the top of the foil and put the can into a pile of hot coals. Smoke should start coming out of the hole within a couple of minutes. This is smoke and methane and the smoke will be flammable (you can light it if you want). Within 5-10 minutes, the smoke should stop coming out of the hole. When this happens, take the tin can out of the coals and let it cool. When it’s cool, take the foil out and pull a square out. If it’s all ash, it means that air got into the can and you just need to try again. If not, then the cotton got hot without oxygen, turned black, you should be good to go! (This is how charcoal is made, and you essentially end up with small, thin pieces of charcoal) Take a piece, use a sparking device to throw a spark at it and play with your new toy.

    The skills you’ll develop making char cloth are a solid foundation for making charcoal AND for making a gassifier. In one of it’s simplist forms, a gassifier is a contraption that allows you to extract methane from wood and use it to run a generator.

    Solar heating: Have an old satellite dish? Coat it with mylar or aluminum foil to reflect and focus sunlight and practice cooking, boiling water, making char cloth, and starting fires with it. This will get HOT…hot enough to burn you, so be careful. Don’t have a satellite dish? Look for them in dumpsters and on the curb on big trash pickup days. This will work with old full sized satellite dishes or parabolic dishes as small as a Coke can. The bigger the dish, the hotter they’ll get.

    Hunting, alarms, traps & snares: Have mice? Practice trapping or making intrusion alarms. Have sparrows, starlings, or other “pest” birds? Practice your blowgun, slingshot, or bb skills.

    Water filtration: Have a bucket you can cut a hole in? Practice making a water filter out of gravel, pea gravel, sand, and activated charcoal (or non-chemically treated charcoal). Run water through it and see how it tastes.

    I’ve got a picture & more info here: http://secretsofurbansurvival.com/32...val-situation/

    Stockpiling: Yes…it’s a skill. And you should be good at it. Some of the immediate benefits are saving money and never running out of diapers, toilet paper, dog food, paper towels, etc. this side of a disaster. It also means fewer rushed trip to the store for emergency items. It also means fewer conversations that go something like, “Honey…did you remember to bring home the xxxx that I asked you to pick up. We’re out.” Whether we ever experience a catastrophic, life changing event or not, my family’s lives are better because we stockpile.

    Don’t have emergency water stored up yet? If you drink soda, start keeping all of your empty plastic bottles, whether they’re big or small. Wash them out with soap & hot water & put water and a little chlorine in them until you’ve got a few gallons per person.

    Don’t have emergency food stored up yet? At LEAST buy some beans, rice, & oatmeal. If you want to splurge, get SPAM & instant potatoes (one of my current favorite camping meals.) If you can’t afford to stock up and you aren’t already eating beans, rice, and oatmeal then consider eating beans, rice, and oatmeal for a week or so and using the money you save to stock up.

    Situational Awareness: Try to continually be aware of what’s going on around you. Identify people who are potential threats and quickly game out in your head what they might do and what your reaction would be. When you’re simply an honest person walking down the street, any violent confrontation that you can spot and avoid in advance, is a violent confrontation that you’ve won.

    Identify situations that are dangerous, like doors swinging into walkways, blind corners, ice hanging off of a building, skateboarders getting pulled by a dog on a leash, etc.

    Practice reading body language…both good AND bad. Watch couples in love. Watch people arguing. Watch people reacting to babies and puppies.

    Watch people you work with throughout the day—how does their posture, facial expressions, and the pitch of their voice change when they’re tired, excited, caffeinated, hungry, on a sugar high, stressed, etc. Study people you know so you can read people you don’t know. And remember…it’s not cut-n-dry…it’s an art based on science.

    Negotiating: get in the habit of asking for discounts. Sometimes people will give a discount for no reason, but usually you need to give them a reason. It could be that you’re buying a damaged or opened item, buying in quantity, buying something expired or close to expiring, or some other reason.

    At farmers’ markets, if one of something is 50 cents, ask if they’ll do 3 for a dollar. The biggest thing is to get in the habit of negotiating. It’s a basic life skill that will pay you back for the rest of your life. And, it is a VITAL skill for any survival situation where you’re going to be around other people.

    How to get a free copy of the SurviveInPlace.com Urban Survival Course:

    One fortunate reader will get a free copy of the SurviveInPlace.com Urban Survival Course this week, thanks to a generous former student from Missouri. If you are chosen, you’ll get the online version, the audio version, and the book, “Urban Survival Guide.” I want to make sure that whoever gets this will truly appreciate it, so if you want to be considered for the free copy, comment below and tell me the following 3 things:

    1. How will the course help you and/or your family?

    2. What is the biggest reason you need the course? EMP? Economic collapse? Infrastructure attack? Cyber attack? Natural disasters? Something else?

    3. What skills or practices have you already put into practice that you’ve learned from the Urban Survival Newsletter? The course isn’t just another book to read…it’s a course to help you build proven life saving urban survival skills to help you survive urban survival situations and enrich your lives in the meantime. I want to make sure that you’ll be someone who takes action with the materials if you are chosen as the winner.

    I’ll pick the winner this week, so make your comments right now. If I’m unable to pick a winner, I’ll narrow it down and have you, the Urban Survival Newsletter readers, vote on the winner next Friday, if not before. In any case, the winner will start their course next Saturday. You don’t need to include your real name with your comment. Just as long as you enter your email correctly so we can contact you if you are the winner.

    Also, if you have any other urban survival skills that are free and EASY to learn and practice, please share them with the other readers by commenting below. They could have to do with pure survival, like fire, water, shelter, and food. They could have to do with medical or security issues. They could revolve around products and or services that you can make for barter purposes. There are 2 VITAL survival skills in particular that I’m looking for.

    And I’ll send out a deck of Urban Survival Playing Cards to the first two people who point them out.

    I’m excited to see the entries for the free course…as well as your ideas for free/inexpensive urban survival skills to practice.

    Also, you’ll want to check out my post from a couple of days ago by clicking the following link:”The Colony, Episode 9: Psychology, Scouting, and Revenge.“ SEVERAL good lessons on Urban Survival Psychology.

    Outdoor Cooking Tip #5



    Monday, April 25, 2011

    In preparation for warmer weather and all of the great outdoor cooking opportunities, we have five tips to help you stay safe and have a much better experience with outdoor cooking.

    Click here for Tip #1 http://preparednesspantry.blogspot.com/ ... tip-1.html

    Click here for Tip #2 http://preparednesspantry.blogspot.com/ ... tip-2.html

    Click here for Tip #3 http://preparednesspantry.blogspot.com/ ... tip-3.html

    Click here for Tip #4 http://preparednesspantry.blogspot.com/ ... tip-4.html

    Tip #5: Be sure to leave the camp area in better condition than you found it. Before pulling up camp, thoroughly douse your fire, mix it around with a stick or shovel, and then douse it again. Refill your pit or scatter your fire bed. When you are all packed up, scan the area to make sure that nothing is left behind.

    We hope these tips have helped you prepare to cook safely outdoors this summer. It's always a good idea to learn alternative cooking methods and ways to prepare food while camping so you will be even better prepared in an emergency.
