Watch Your Back: A How To Guide To Better Situational Awareness

The book, Watch Your Back: How to Avoid the Most Dangerous Moments in Daily Life, is an amazing how-to guide to better situational awareness.

I was blown away by this book. I have practiced situational awareness most of my life. Always the guy you can’t sneak up on.

Moment catches my eye. Odd noises attract my attention. Hell, I can generally tell who is coming by the sounds they make or smell.

Watch your back by Roger Eckstine will take what you know about situational awareness to the next level. Maybe several levels actually.

Gas Station Safety

For the most part, I never thought much about gas station safety. I kept an eye out for shady people.

In watching your back there is a whole chapter on gas station safety. And there are some great tips in it.

He goes over everything from not getting your debit card info stolen to not being robbed or attached .

Active Shooter

Watch your back ends with a huge chapter on terror attacks and active shooter situations. It seems that both are becoming more common.

Watch your back gives solid advice on how to prepare for active shooter events.

It covers what to do during an incident . How to fight, how to keep the shooters from getting to you and how to escape if need be.

Many of you are saying you would just pull your sidearm and deal with it. What if you’re at work without your weapon?

What if you are severely outnumbered and outgunned? Have a plan.

Conclusion

I feel that situational awareness is the cornerstone of any survival plan. Period. Watch your back will help you develop your situational awareness skills.

I felt like some of the info was a little too far. Borderline paranoid. But many will say that my normal situational awareness actions are paranoid .

So pick and choose what you can do and what’s most important your safety and that of your family.
