Reader “Out of Sight Out of Mind” (OSOM) recommended Michael Bane’s television series The Best Defense. It is noteworthy that Bane has included Michael Z. Williamson (SurvivalBlog’s Editor at Large) in several segments of the show. OSOM’s comments: “These short videos are a really valuable acting out of criminal attack scenarios and the best tactics to handle. Probably more important than tactics, they are great for priming your situational awareness and avoidance instincts. Happily, most of us don’t live in a criminal jungle on a day to day basis – but we need to mentally ‘pre-load’ the ability to switch gears fast.”
