Most of us walk right past the tools that could save our lives without even noticing them. A flashlight in the drawer. A skillet on the stove. A belt around your waist. Ben Cooper has spent years learning how the ordinary things we touch every day can be turned into real options when life goes sideways.This book is not about fancy gear or expensive gadgets. It is about what you already have close by. A kitchen knife becomes more than a cooking utensil. A chair in your living room turns into a barrier. A car key is not just for starting the engine.

You will learn how to turn the everyday into tools for defense, escape, and survival without feeling like you are gearing up for the end of the world.If you have ever wondered how you and your family would handle trouble, this book will give you the confidence to say, "We've got this."Practical, relatable, and filled with specific details you can put into practice today; this is survival for real people, living real lives, in a world that can get unpredictable fast.
