Womenonguard.com – How to Help Prevent Attacks While Walking, Jogging, Running or Hiking
Susan Eaton asked:
Many people choose to exercise outdoors to keep in shape. Due to time restraints in this hectic world, a walker, jogger, runner or even a hiker will follow a daily routine. They exercise at the same time every day, they follow the same path to and from their home, and most of the time will exercise alone. This is a great opportunity for an attacker.
The recent murder of Meredith Emerson, a hiker in Georgia, is yet another example of a victim that was enjoying the outdoors while hiking. More often than not, most women and men do not carry any type of self-defense. They are so focused on their exercise routine and perhaps thinking of what the day has in store for them, that they overlook the possibility of an assault.
It is very important that you carry some type of self-defense with you just in case you happen to find yourself in an uncomfortable or compromising situation.
Pepper spray or Mace is one of the most common self-defense products being used today. It is lightweight and easy to carry. Most pepper sprays or Mace have a belt clip or keychain attachment.
There is even Dog Repellent pepper spray for those all too common stray dogs. This is very convenient when you are on the go. While hiking, if you are in Bear country, you might even consider carrying Bear Repellent pepper spray in your backpack.
While power walking, a great product to carry is the Mace Brand Hot Walkers Pepper Spray Walking Weights. The Hot Walkers are 1-pound Walking Weights with built-in pepper spray. They have elastic hand straps for support and a storage compartment for keys and money.
A stun gun is also an option. There are many different sizes and voltages of stun guns. Some are no bigger than the palm of your hand. And there are other stun devices that are disguised to look like a pager or cell phone.
For hikers, there is also a real handy non-lethal, self-defense product that is convenient to have if you are going to camp out during the night. The Stun Alarm Flashlight, which has a flashlight and a personal alarm. It is a stun gun, alarm, and flashlight all in one unit.
And yet, there is another option. There is the newest and most popular self-defense product on the market today, the Taser C2. It is lightweight, easy to use and easy to carry.
So, don't just keep your body in shape, keep yourself safe. Prevention is the key. Always be prepared and protect yourself from harm. Do not become another victim of crime.
