Emergencies can happen at any time and in any place, whether at home, school, work, hiking, quadding, 4x4ing or simply driving from point A to B. Accidents happen when you least expect it.
When it comes to being prepared, the sky's the limit. Don't get stuck in a "wish I had" moment, and prepare for the unexpected.
The first step to preparing for emergencies is to asses potential threats and to develop a plan.
Thinking about the worst can be frightening to say the least, however being prepared can sometimes mean the difference between life and death. Our team here at Lockhart Tactical is ready to help you get ready and set yourself up for success. Earthquakes, Fires, Floods, Hurricanes, Attacks of Terrorism and Gang violence are just some of the many things that can occur. Although these examples are more severe, small things like running out of gas while quadding on a hunting trip or 4x4ing in the mountains can turn into a situation quickly. Maybe you're at the firing range or safetly shooting deep in the bush, and a ricochet occurs. The difference between having a little medical kit with you can be the difference between a little problem becoming a BIG problem.
Are you planning for yourself? Do you have a family to protect? Will you possibly be needing to take in friends, relatives or maybe the neighbors who weren't prepared? These are all things to consider
