I think you'll be shocked by what you are about to read. If you believe we are heading for any number of wide-spread emergencies in the near future you may be making plans. Believe it or not, many people are making a fatal mistake by overlooking a serious component of their preparation. You may have plenty of stockpiled firearms and ammunition. But what will you do if you are under attack and can't get to your firearms?
Whether you are planning for Armageddon, trying to win back control of your hijacked airliner from radical extremists, or just trying to stay safe while out in public, there may come a time when you will have to defend yourself without a firearm.
Sound unbelievable? It shouldn't. Suppose someone walks into a movie theatre and starts shooting. As he reloads you've got the chance to take him out. Would you be prepared?
This portion of prepping is often overlooked. This is for the self defense area in-between going strictly hands on and traditional firearms. Welcome to the little discussed world of improvised weapons--items that are not normally used for weapons, but in the right hands can be deadly.
If you are bold enough, you will discover how to protect yourself or your family without traditional firearms using everyday, ordinary objects you've got on hand right now, or could have on hand with just a little advance planning. Items that are absolutely legal to carry anywhere, but can be used instantly as weapons.
Many people have firearms stashed in their homes in case of a home invasion. But they may pass by other items in their home that could be just as easily used as a weapon to get to their hold-out weapon. By the time we are done you will be able to walk into a room and instantly be able to identify not only one, but several items you could use as a weapon when the fabric of society rips apart at the seams.
Here are just a few of the tips, tricks and techniques you’ll discover in "Prepper's Underground Guide to Improvised Weapons!"
The five types of improvised weapons and why impact weapons are the easiest improvised weapon for the average person.
You'll understand the "Best Fight" concept. Failing to understand this and you'll be in for a world of misery.
The three methods for target selection and why selecting the wrong target can have disastrous results.
Not only will you learn what to use for a weapon you'll discover how to strike with each, including different grips and attacking from multiple angles.
A simple "weapon" you can carry right now, out in the open that no police officer or mugger would ever question. This is especially easy for the ladies.
How to add power to your punch without damaging your hand. What good does it do to knock someone out if you break your hand in the process?
An easy alternative to a palm sap that no one would possibly dream could be used as a weapon.
The difference between a slingshot and a slungshot and five slungshot alternatives.
The difference between a sap and a blackjack and five alternatives.
A sap alternative that looks like a geek but hits like a brick.
Have you ever thought what you'd do if your plane was taken over by terrorists? Thanks to TSA you've got no weapons with which to fight back. Or do you? I'll show you several items on every plane that can easily be used as weapons.
You'll discover two weapons you usually always have with you.
Just wait until you see items that can be used as weapons in your car, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living room, garage and while you are out on the town.
I'll reveal two weapons you can carry on your bike that no one would ever suspect is a weapon.
MUCH MORE…
The time to plan how you will react to a violent life or death encounter without a firearm is NOW. Not tomorrow, not next week and certainly not while you are confronted by some low life riff raff just looking to make an easy victim of you. By then it just might be TOO LATE…

Everything is a weapon.

The DIY slingshot looks good, but like a gun, what if you don’t have it with you.
A roll of quarters in a sock. Learned that one from Charles Bronson.
Any jack handle, heavy flashlight, or pipe can be kept on the car seat when traveling.
Keys between the fingers can be good eye gougers.
Any lamp or semi-heavy object can be grabbed and thrown—aim for the upper chest to avoid missing. He’ll think it’s coming at his head and he’ll close his eyes and throw up his hands.
On a plane, always bring some ordinary thing in your pocket—a book, a bottle of shampoo—that you can throw at a terrorist.
Always loosen your tie when on a plane. You might need it in a hurry.
A roll of quarters (needed for vending machines!) can be slipped into a lady’s scarf or tie in a flight 93 situation to be used as a Bronson.
When a baddie is brandishing a weapon in a group of people, if you are behind him, kick the back of his knees hard to drop him, or throw a tie or scarf over his mouth and yank hard to pull him backward , and drive your knee into the small of his back.
ALWAYS buy a coke in a can. Don’t open it. Tuck it beside you on the seat.
Re: street fighting skills at home or away—
I’ve taken self defense for women. Was told, forget everything you see on TV. There’s no choreography or canned sound effects. Real fighting sounds and looks and smells sickening. Was reminded, when you’re threatened in real life, there are no rules but survival.
Know that an attackers first irst priority is not to get caught. Hurting you is his second goal. So in most situations it’s okay to scream, especially when he tells you not to. Forget being polite. Make bloodcurdling noise; show him your inner psychopath. ( An exception: you’re more likely to attract more ferals instead of help. )
If you’ve no weapon, your aim is to distract or disable him long enough to get away if possible.
No matter how big the attacker is, everyone has a center of gravity and certain weak spots on their body.
You want to do what he least expects you to do. If he comes at you, rush AT him, push his arm up, bite his pectoral muscle right by the armpit, or the inside of his bicep.
Never hit with knuckles; aim the heel of your hand at the underside of his nose and drive it into his skull. Quick hard thrusts. Make him see stars.
Never try to kick a man in his balls. You’ll back up to throw the kick, then he’ll just grab your foot and throw you.
Instead kick his kneecaps with the outside of your foot , stomp his instep.
Any hard gouging attack to the sternum will stop even the biggest thug. If nothing else make a fist with the tumb extended and down onto the curled fingers and drive the thumb into the sternum as deep as you can push it as fast as you can push it. It may last long enough to then remove the brain from the fight via whatever is handy that will crack a skull or penetrate through an eye socket.
