My job in the firearms industry requires more utility than a typical knife can provide, so for the last 12 months or so, I’ve been carrying a Leatherman Skeletool in my pocket.

By Steve Tarani Posted in #Skills Your most powerful weapon doesn’t need batteries and never runs out of ammunition. What are the secrets of the professionals when it comes to recognition and rapid assessment of a developing threat? Even more effective, how can you see it, hear it and sense it coming? Our society is divided into two groups: those who don’t care about or are unaware of the possibility something bad can happen to them and are unprepared to handle it, versus those who are aware and prepared if something bad does happen. Learning how to…
