If the average person carried some type of light and knife,they would be miles ahead of where they are now.

For me light,knife,cell phone,plenty of cash.Now I often have more but those are the minimum for me.

Some scoff at cell phones because during 911 they we're of little use to most.Remember this most things you'll face will be along the lines of putting your car in a ditch,getting stuck in an elevator etc.and yor cell will work fine.

We get 1/3 of our 911 calls come from cells.This means help comes quicker(nobody has to go home to make the call)we now get many back up calls.This means better info on location,number of people involved,type of injuries etc.
