8 Important Tips to Stay Safe & Confident when you’re Walking
When you’re walking in public, whether you are just taking a quick trip to the shop or walking a distance, it is so important to always make sure you are completely safe. Try to plan your route ahead of time and get a walking buddy if possible.
Here are the 8 most important tips to know when you are walking somewhere.
1. Always be alert and pay attention to what is going on around you.
2. If possible, take a route that is well-lit and busy.
3. Avoid taking shortcuts through parks, alleyways or parking lots.
4. Do not wear headphones or be distracted by your cell phone – you won’t be able to hear someone approaching you!
5. If you are going to be walking in the dark, make sure to carry a torch with you – Klarus provides a range of affordable tactical torches that not only give you ample light, but can also double as a self-defence weapon.
6. Walk on the side of the road that is facing oncoming traffic.
7. If you are walking in or across parkland, stick to paths and open areas so that you can see and be seen.
8. Always avoid walking in wooded areas, especially when it gets dark.
Whether you are walking in a particularly safe area or not, it is always good to carry a self-defence weapon with you such as pepper spray or a small Taser. These products are usually quite cheap and available in most stores – be sure to keep it in your hand so you can use it immediately if need be.
