These Random Facts Could Help You Survive a Dire Situation
We spend most of our time living lives of low-risk, shuffling between our homes and our workplaces, and making few stops along the way. Though that significantly reduces the chances of ever facing life-threatening situations, it still never hurts to be prepared and preparation can come in all shapes and forms. Despite the instinct to carry a weapon and considering our lack of access to James Bond-esque gadgets, our best defense against any kind of serious situation is knowledge. Information is power, and all that jazz.
