Up next Thriller: The 2017 BMW F800 GS Adventure Published on July 31, 2023 Author Tread Staff Tags Defense Gears, Self Defense Gear, Self Defense Preparation, self-defense, Share article Facebook 0 Twitter 0 Mail 0 Self Defense Preparation for Your Next Adventure – Byrna Technologies The motto of every off-roader and intrepid traveler is “be prepared.” No one would think about setting out without adequate provisions, proper shelter, a GPS, and comms. So, why do many adventurers set out without any means of self-defense? We tend to think about self-defense as being an urban thing, but the fact is that when you are off the grid, far from civilization, you become your own first responder, whether the threat is two-legged or four-legged. If you ask any experienced outdoor enthusiast, heightened awareness and risk assessment skills are absolutely essential for a survival mentality. Physical training and improving your hand eye coordination can also build confidence, but your agility and wits may not be enough. Self-defense preparation is a must. Subscribe to our weekly newsletter At Byrna, we offer a variety of self-defense gears perfect for any adventure. Our body armor shields, backpacks and a variety of other self-defense gears options can give you a peace of mind on your next hike, camping trip or voyage! Sponsored Post
