Staying safe on the road, prepping for apartment dwellers and the importance of treating injury during the "golden hour" are just a few of the topics found in the Fall/Winter 2014 American Handgunner Personal Defense Survive Special Edition.
In "Road Warrior" contributing editor Michael Janich highlights the top dangers travellers should be anticipating when away from home.
"Staying in hotels, working in unfamiliar areas and operating in unfamiliar areas and jurisdictions that may have vastly different weapon laws all make staying safe significantly more challenging," writes Janich. "'Survival' is not just for emergencies; it's about staying safe and protecting your assets no matter where you are."
In "Urban Survival," contributor John Higgs brings to attention the often overlooked dangers of city living, including tips for those visiting urban areas and how to pack a micro bug-out bag.
"Bug-out bags are a smart idea, but they are not the complete solution to the problem of being forced to bug out," writes Higgs. "There are times when even a small bag isn't practical, so I developed my own micro bug-out kit for everyday carry to give me the bare minimum of items to escape and survive: cell phone, a pocket flashlight, a credit or debit card and at least $20 in small bills."
In "Physiology of Survival," Dr. William Dabbs discusses why creating a comprehensive survival plan should not ignore the most important survival element of all- your health.
"The bottom line is if you are serious about surviving something unpleasant a little attention to your own physiology is a logical first step before you drop the kids' college fund on the latest tricked-out black rifle," writes Dabbs. "If we are going to be serious enough about survival prepping to invest money in weapons, gear and food we need to include a sensible program of diet and exercise."
