FEBRUARY PREPAREDNESS MEETUP
Want to get prepared for storms and other emergencies, but don’t know how? Do you wish someone would just tell you what you need to purchase and what you need to do? Do you want to get reasonably prepared in as little as a weekend?
Paul Martin of prepperdepot.org can help.
Join Paul for a FREE installation of his Rapid Preparedness Program, offered by the Austin Preparedness MeetUp. The event will be from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday, February 8, at the Riverbend Church Student Center on Hwy 360. You will leave with handouts, spreadsheets, and a plan of action that takes the guesswork out of preparing yourself and your family for emergencies and disasters.
ARE YOU READY FOR THE UNTHINKABLE?
“Knowing the how and why of violence and violent criminal actors is a needed step to keep you and your loved ones safe.”
Cecil Burch, Immediate Action Combatives
A big part of making sure you’re ready for anything is developing an “adaptive” mindset, deepening your understanding of violent criminals and how to avoid becoming a victim. Dr. William Aprill of Aprill Risk Consulting is the leading expert on violent criminals and victim selection. His flagship seminar, “Unthinkable,” is coming to the Childress Auditorium in Childress, Texas, on February 22. The class is only $100 and includes instruction on how to avoid being a victim, including hands-on firearm retention and disarm techniques. Register by sending the fee via PayPal to the seminar host, jimanders1967@yahoo.com, or make checks payable to James Anders, 507 Avenue E. Nw. Childress, Texas 79201. Coffee, water, and donuts will be provided.
BLOG-O-RAMA – VOTE TO BRING IT BACK
Several times a week we post links to interesting articles to our Facebook and Twitter feeds. In the past we have included them in the newsletter each month for those that refuse to follow us on social media or don’t have social media accounts. It takes a lot of time to compile the list of dozens of links and insert them into the newsletter. We need to know if you still want that information included.
If you want us to bring the Blog-O-Rama section back in 2020, please click on this survey link and answer “yes.”
Keep up with the interesting links we share in real time. Follow KR Training on Facebook or Twitter. Subscribe to this newsletter or follow this blog (right) for more frequent posts and information. Send me an email to schedule your private weekday training session.
We look forward to training you!
