Prepared Not Scared: Your Go-To Guide for Staying Safe in an Unsafe World
Prepared Not Scared: Your Go-To Guide for Staying Safe in an Unsafe World by Bill Stanton
304 pages
Bill Stanton has a lot of good things to say and brings in several experts in the safety/protection sectors to share knowledgeable points with the reader on keeping safe, being aware at all times not just sometimes of your surroundings, keeping a safety stash in your car at all times for emergencies, keeping your kids and pets safe, protecting yourself and your home, office safety, crowd safety and so much more. He cites statistics of crimes, against persons and property and shares excellent ideas on how to keep your environment as safe as possible and he teaches you what to look and how to gage strangers who may have ulterior motives. He discusses how to deescalate situation that could go volatile and what to do if God forbid you find yourself in a dangerous situation even if you have done all the right things. A good book and worthy read, some stuff is simply common sense, but, we all can use a wake-up call now and then before we walk blindly into trouble. I highly recommend this book to anyone. We all could use a crash course in safety these days.
