With self-defense techniques comes the power to be independent and live life with a little more freedom, afterall you have not been born to feel safe inside the walls of your home, it’s your right to go out in the night if you want to, to roam unexplored areas and have some self-time without any restriction.

Safety Essential Kit
If you’re someone who travels a lot or is going out and there is a probability that you might get in trouble then it’s necessary to have a safety kit with you inside your bag.
The safety kit should have some of the essentials in it and the list of those items goes as such:
Pepper Spray: This is something you’d know that you should have in order to spray in the eyes of the assailant and fled the scene. It’s better to spray and then go running off from the scene as there are always high chances of things getting wrong when you’re near the assailant. Keeping a pepper spray handy will feel you more confident as an individual.
Safety Whistle: When you could sense that something is wrong the safety whistle comes in handy for use as it has a high pitched volume and grabs the attention of the nearby people as well scare off the assailant before he approaches you in fear of getting caught.
First aid kit: The First aid kit comes in handy as well, suppose you are successful in running off the assailant but had to you’d got hit pretty bad and need something for covering the blood leak. Then at hose dire times, it required you to have a first aid kit nearby which would probably save your life.
It’s better to carry extra weight in your bag rather than having a light bag and regretting later, so being on the safe side everyone should carry a small first aid kit with themselves while traveling.
Extra Cash: Everyone should have a little extra cash stashed somewhere in their bags in order to use it in situations like if you’re mugged or need it for some other emergency. It’s better to have an extra amount of cash rather than having a deficit of the same in some situations where it’s urgently needed.
