My wife and I were doing some Christmas shopping recently when she handed me a book with a smirk on her face. (I’m sure your wife has one too.) The book was entitled something like “3,000 Tips for The End of the World: A Guide to Life after SHTF.” Now some people may like this type of book because you believe an event like this will happen in your lifetime. Others may like it because it has some useful tips. However, I am not a “prepper.” My wife just likes to poke fun at me sometimes.
People that are security minded are folks who want to be prepared for what to do when you walk out into a parking lot or witness a car accident. We are not hoarding 100 pounds of MoonPies because they are the most delicious shelf staple that will last 10 years.

Walkie Talkies - They don’t really call them that anymore, so you’ll want to search for “two-way radios”. These are fun for dads and kids. I also recommend using them when traveling in a caravan.

Good luck shopping this holiday season. Remember that when you go shopping, do your best to hide your items in your car in the trunk or cargo area to avoid a potential break in. I’ll have more holiday security tips in the coming weeks.
