Protect Myself Walking With Self Defense Products
My pesticide-free vegetable garden is the first thing neighbors remember about me because I vend my produce at the farmers’ market on weekends. On week days, I take requests.
I do not mind the workout. One of my neighbors is always wanting shallots or needing good zucchini for dinner with the mother-in-law. When I traipse around extending the remainders of my platter, I carry self defense devices to protect myself walking.
In my bag, there are a few surprising items. I carry a hidden camera embedded in sunglasses. I set it to record before knocking on any door unannounced. I carry a book diversion safe, a real book with space carved out in the center for concealing money.
A personal alarm with flashlight or a safety light is ideal to protect myself walking when it is late. For rabid dogs, I have a canine repeller, or some other pepper spray in case I have none at the time.
The gravest danger I have met so far came in the form of a beggar turned mugger. He had the appearance of a homeless person and I only approached him to offer the arugulas I had.
He ordered me at knifepoint to produce all my money. I pulled my cell phone stun gun out and went for his arm. Was I grateful I have self defense devices to protect myself walking!
My stun weapon immobilized the assaulter within seconds. He dropped the knife and stayed standing, disoriented. I never walk around with too heavy a load so it was easy for me to run away.
Every time I get asked why I tire myself hiking, I say that there is nothing wrong with walking as long as I protect myself walking. In a world where stretching one’s legs is fussed over, I am only right to push my veggies!
