Retired Navy SEAL Explains How to Prepare for Dangerous Situations | Tradecraft | WIRED

Imagine trying to throw him a surprise party

"Before I select my food, can I get a blueprint of this place?"

Video: ... Learn how to be more attentive, pay attention to the small things Me: Mindless scrolling and liking comments while the video plays

Every time I watch one of these WIRED videos I'm reminded that there are some extraordinary and terrifying people living among us

Always ask your waiter for a floor plan along with the menu.

Dudes really committed to living.

Someone: "so what are you doing for a living?" This guy "living"

Grim Reaper: Your time has come Clint. Clint: I've actually prepared for this.

This video has just helped me organize my paranoia.

"trust your eyes, question your ears when it comes to gunshots" solid advice.

As a retired Green Beret with many of the same experiences as Clint, I would say that the most important thing he alludes to is being PREPARED and ALWAYS having contingency plans. when you plan to go into dangerous situations and environments, planning, anticipating what could go wrong, and attention to detail can literally mean the difference between life and death. The average person doesn't need to take it the the level we did, but you can apply the same mentality. I don't mean be a fanatical "prepper", but things like practicing changing a tire (this includes every driver in your household), never letting your cellphone battery run down, always have emergency equipment and supplies in your car, especially in the winter. I carry food, water, space blanket, waterproof jacket, lighter, knife, first aid kit, etc. Keep enough gas in your car. Avoid getting lost by mapping your route ahead of time. And have emergency numbers in your phone; not just 911, but roadside assistance, etc.

Idk why I laughed so hard when the tv was wheeling in 😂😂

on a date her: "so what do you do in your spare time" him: "quiet, im evaluating the best line of exit"

1. Enter building 2. Locate all exits 3. Never sit with your back to a door. 4. Continue with your life.

He said: "Don´t go with the herd." Really good advice. So you can avoid people trampling each other to death in mass panic, as unfortunately it has happened many times in the history of mankind...

Clint needs his own YouTube channel for teaching us all this valuable information

Me: never leaves the house Also me: I need to watch this video to be prepared

stranger looks at you: me: are you exploiting my vulnerabilities???

I always bring a little stack of ceramic tiles with me when my wife and I go out to eat. My wife brings the books, socks, and the fishing weights.
