Three years ago I would not have been able to imagine a world without cell phones. More than any other thing invented in recent times they have made our lives more efficient. The ability to communicate on a whim with virtually anyone allows our lives to be more flexible and spontaneous. This past holiday I chuckled when my dad busted out his circa 2004 flip phone. The reason I laughed is because it isn't about the phone any more. They are all in one do it all gadgets that have become essential in our lives. Yes, we could survive without smartphones, but for now we don't need to, so why not use them to help us when the chips are down!

I really do like the cool weather of fall and winter. I know it doesn't come without its complications, but at the same time, I feel more able to mitigate those challenges than I do the challenges of hot weather. Today we are going to take a look at how we can more efficiently carry our self-defense tools in cold weather. The tips and tricks apply to all of the tools you might choose to carry, but we will focus on the handgun as our primary example. Enjoy the show, enjoy the season and have a great day!

Check out today's show to gain an understanding of how heat can effect us and what we can do about it!

What I have been calling weather radios are really emergency radios. If you were listening to yesterday's podcast you may have heard them in the background letting me know about a warning in a neighboring county. Pretty awesome technology. Today I talk more about SAME technology, and the radios themselves with a specific suggestion for which radio I recommended.

Without a realistic assessment of the threats we face and the consequences of those threats, the preparations we make are at best a shot in the dark. I have been thinking about some ways that I can shore up our severe weather safety plan and SAME technology is one of the tools I will be testing out.

Back in October or November which seems like forever ago I discussed preparing for winter carry and the issues that tend to present themselves when we add additional layers of clothing. Today we head in the opposite direction. As I mentioned yesterday I jumped on an airplane to head to Florida to visit family over the weekend. The warm weather was an excellent reminder of the issues that pop up when we molt from our winter wear into short shorts and tube tops.
