In this video I’m talking about anti-terrorism readiness for the prepared citizen—because the reality is, attacks can happen anywhere, and they can stack fast. I walk through how I think about threat awareness, staying informed, and building a simple plan that doesn’t rely on luck or “someone will handle it.” This is about being proactive: knowing what’s going on, having the right gear staged, and making sure you can move yourself and your family out of danger. I break it down into practical layers: everyday carry (EDC) for what’s on you when life happens, a 72-hour get-home bag for when you’re stuck away from home, and an IFAK because medical is what you’ll need first in the real world. I also touch on tools that help you get intel in real time—like a police scanner—and protective options like ballistic panels and a gas mask depending on your risk profile. The takeaway is simple: don’t panic, don’t freeze, and don’t wait—build a realistic readiness plan you can actually execute.
