It has some great information and it was very interesting to read about Val (and about that Remington stock breaking!) That said, I know I am probably a very very small minority of readers on this site that are female, but the avoidance section got me thinking. It's not that I think the information there is off (it isn't), it's just that I think in terms of that (avoidance) -- it's probably better applied to men than women. In my experience, I too have been a "shit magnet" but for different reasons than giving off a vibe of needing to prove something-- rather, being blonde, slender, young and 105 lbs, plus quiet when you first meet me has attracted many unsavory characters in a variety of settings. After realizing this I made a conscious effort to be more assertive and at least in my anecdotal experience-- it made a heck of a difference in how much "shit" I attract. Of course, don't wear training on your sleeve, don't go looking for a fight or make people "respect" you but for women I think the problem is being too nice and letting people walk all over us and we end up looking like easy prey.

Those who aren't aware of the world around them are bound to become victims. The best book on this that I have ever read is called "Meditations on Violence" by Sgt Rory Miller. He made points I had never thought of before and said things I had always just known in a way that made more sense. I highly recommend it for anyone preparing themselves to deal with violence.

I have a book called "The Little Black Book of Violence". It breaks down reality based combat to an informative detailed depth. Great read. Very nice post.

I'm doing some shopping, and think I'll avoid that one. Little late here, but what model of 870 stock was it that broke during the filming? I’m doing some shopping, and think I’ll avoid that one.

You might change the "Recognization" into "Recognition." I would warn you about falling into grammatical condition white as well :-). Great article.
