"What should i carry in a dangerous place?"
"Don't go there."
Bruce
You want to defend yourself.
The above is the most effective thing going.
When possible follow it.
Started long haul trucking at 21.
Ran 48 states and Canada. Guns, big knives, pepper spray, brass knuckles,
Even tire billies were illegal somewhere.
Carried a 3" plain blade lockback, a knockoff Mag-lite, and used a
ball pien as a tire knocker. The light and hammer were kept by the seat, with a can of foaming wasp spray.
The biggest thing is to avoid trouble.
I couldn't choose my locations, but when possible I did.
Park where you have lighting, if possible.
As close to the buildings as possible.
Only walk where you can maintain a good field of vision.
Keep your eyes moving, check all movement.
Be careful of corners.
Bathrooms were always a concern for me.
Usually deserted at night, blind corners, secluded, tight quarters,
Usually only one exit, and you are pretty vulnerable poppingva squat.
Didn't use the sketchy ones to take a leak. Was much better to
just "cool the tires".
