The Importance of Body Armor
Think You Don't Need It? Think Again
Survival is a matter of preparation. By expanding your knowledge, learning new skills and stockpiling important equipment, you can ensure you can keep yourself and your family safe in any situation. This preparation might involve learning how to hunt and administer first aid, gaining a first-hand knowledge of the surrounding terrain, and acquiring stocks of canned food and water. However, your preparation should also include self-defense, which many overlook until it's too late.
