Hello everyone, and welcome to the Survival Prep Shop. I’m TK, your companion in the pursuit of survival knowledge. As we unpack today’s content, take it as a mix of my own adventures and learnings in the art of staying prepared.
The threat of a terror attack continues to be a major concern and has proven that its a very real threat. You never know where or when one will strike. The most important thing that you need to do is to make sure youre prepared so that you know how to survive one.
While preparation is key, its also important to know what to do as an act of self defense right in the moment, because it can mean the difference between life and death. Sometimes youre not caught with your gear at hand, so how do you handle a terror attack using a self defense mindset?
The best thing you can do is stay aware of your surroundings. If you see someone suspicious, get out of the location. Notify authorities if you feel compelled to. Watch for unattended bags or boxes, and listen for people shouting before an attack so you can flee immediately.
Surviving an Explosion
When an explosion happens, it can be nerve wracking. The sounds of the bomb, shattering glass, the rocking of buildings and the screams of people can render you immobile.
But thats the one thing you dont want to be in an explosion paralyzed by fear and confusion. When theres an explosion, its the pressure of the object youre hit with that can injure or kill you.
Projectiles and shrapnel fly through the air with rapid force. In the event of an explosion, the first thing you should do is take cover – especially if the place you were in took the direct hit.
You dont know if theres going to be a second explosion where you are, and you might not be able to see through the dust and chaos to know whether or not the responsible party is waiting to pick off survivors.
Everyones instinct is to run from explosions but how you run away from the event does matter. Keep your head down and make tracks until you reach a place thats going to offer you some protection.
If youre inside a building that was weakened by an explosion, you must get out because the building could collapse. But dont make the mistake of running right out in the open.
Keep yourself close to other buildings and stay down to make yourself less visible as a target. Head for another building if you can and look for the strongest point of the building.
If you cant escape the building that youre in, find the strongest point of the place that youre in. You must keep calm and not panic if you want to survive. Panic after chaos works against people.
If youre with a group of others, try to make sure everyone remains calm and works together. For those who are injured, set up a triage area to make sure they get help first. If youre injured, take care of your injuries or get help.
Your chances of surviving a chaotic explosion lessen if you pass out from injuries or loss of blood. Locate the exits if youre inside a home or building so youll know how to get out when youre ready.
If you cant get out, once you get to a safe point in the building, do not go near the doors or any of the windows. If youre inside an office building and theres an explosion, the debris and fire could cause secondary injuries.
Youll want to cover your mouth using whatever is handy so that youre not breathing in that dust or anything that could have been associated with a biochemical attack. Once youre in a safe place, remain under cover until you know for sure its okay to leave.
Surviving in the Middle of Gunfire
It only takes one hit from a bullet to a vulnerable spot of your body to end your life. Yet people have managed to survive horrific situations involving gunfire throughout history by following survival tips.
The second you hear gunshots, try to locate an escape route. Even if everything is confusing, try to take a second to know where the shooter or shooters are and go the opposite way.
Dont assume that theres only one person doing the attack. As you make your way toward an exit, dont run away in a panic. Instead, go as quickly as you can, keep your head down, and stay out of sight as
