Situational Awareness: Case the Joint
Added 2021-07-15 03:52:01 +0000 UTCIn this video I cover my mindset when casing a place. For this example we use a restaurant.
We'll be back on the range soon for filming but I also wanted to teach more mindset lessons/exercises. Situational awareness is extremely important and can help you actively avoid unnecessary confrontation.
Let me know what you think of this type of content in the comments below.
Cheers!

Thanks Shawn, it is important to have the mindset of awareness. My wife and I walked out of a subway in Paris and found ourselves in a hostile situation with the police and a minority population. You need to react immediately and in this case a quick exit was the only good choice. Fortunately everyone was paying attention to the police, and we were able to quickly remove ourselves from the area. By the way, Moulin Rouge was amazing.

2021-08-03 16:15:16 +0000 UTCGood video. That’s something the average Joe doesn’t think about but probably should. Would love to see a big box store, movie theater etc. like the gentleman above mentioned.

2021-07-23 20:08:14 +0000 UTCBig hotels, Six Flags, theaters, State Fair, crowded venues etc .... how might we act as 'security detail' for our family? In my case 6yr old, 12 yr old, and mama bear.

2021-07-20 16:43:40 +0000 UTCI’m the past few years I’ve been spending a lot more time with situational awareness in public. I use to be pretty oblivious to it, but now I’m always looking for quick exits, security cameras, flood lights, fighting tools, cover, etc. One of the places that still gives me problems, is big box stores, like Walmart, Kroger, malls, Lowe’s. A few of these places have popped up in recent history as mass shooting events. I’m always looking for where I would take my kids and run for cover, or to exit. With places that big, I can’t even imagine the panic that would happen if there was an emergency or incident. Any rate, this is good stuff to talk about. It’s not the sexy tacticool stuff, but still really important.
