The past weeks have been filled with one horrible news after the other, all summing up to attacks on our lives. And when, God forbid, you find yourself in a situation like this, there’s no time for improvisation.
Knowledge and skills will make a difference and will help you stay alive. That’s why you can never know too much about self-defense and the weapons that will assist you to this purpose.
1. Ruling the night with night vision
“He who can fight in the dark will rule the night! I have been looking at night vision for a while and the only thing that has really held me back has been the cost.
In today’s post, we are going to look at several types of night vision and whether or not they are worth the cost, they are selling for. Let’s get started, so just sit back, grab a cup of coffee and let’s talk about it.
