Walkie Talkies

In this age of the mobile phone, walkie talkies, or two-way radios, seem like an anachronism. However, many people who grew up before the 1990s may recall that no respectable private eye or detective story was complete without a walkie talkie being used while following a suspect or chasing a criminal!

You may not be the sort who likes to follow suspects or chase criminals as part of your daily activities, but you could still use a walkie talkie in your daily life. If you enjoy outdoor activities, love to go motorcycling, work in a school, college, pub or club or look after a little baby at home, you would find a walkie talkie a very useful gadget. You may need a walkie talkie system if your job requires you to move around from one point to another within a three kilometre range. The benefit over mobile phones is that they are license free and do not have any associated call charges.

For instance, you can use a regular baby monitor if you are at home downstairs and your baby is asleep upstairs, but what happens if you need to visit a neighbour? Some walkie talkies have a wider range than regular baby monitors and also include a baby monitor mode. You can leave one radio in the babys room and take the other wherever you gowhen the baby wakes up or begins to cry, you will know at once. The Cobra MT725 Value Pack is ideal for this.

Workers in pubs or clubs, or teachers and staff members in schools and colleges would find walkie talkies very effective and useful when communicating with colleagues. In both cases, workers and staff members may have to respond to emergencies, and may not be near a telephone. Walkie talkies can be clipped onto belts, and come with an earpiece-microphone combination to enable discreet communication. All you need to do to send a message is to press the Push to Talk button on the handset.

Motorcyclists can use a walkie talkie system that fits into their motorcycle helmets, along with the Push to Talk button that is mounted on the motorcycle handlebar or the recommended voice activation via a MICVOX. If you plan a motorcycle holiday with a group of friends, this system should enable you to stay in touch, over a distance of a mile, in all kinds of weather. You will also find a walkie talkie very useful on a skiing or mountaineering holidayyou may not be able to use mobile phones in the mountains or abroad as the roaming charges may be more than you want to pay!

Self Defense - Surviving Mountain Lion Encounters

As with all things of nature, mountain lion attacks seem to ebb and flow. As I found out today the weather has as much to do with their appearance as anything. When the weather is dry they are driven to lower elevations to find water and along the way some food.

Mountain lions are much different in their tactics than bears. Bears of course are much bigger than mountain lions which can get to 120 pounds or so. Bears just come at you using their surprisingly quick reflexes and brute size and strength.

Mountain lions stalk their prey. They frequently are upon a victim before they know it. They use stealth and speed. They go for the head or neck and a quick kill.

I would never go into the back country without at least a large bear pepper spray. The bear spray most commonly used has a range of up to 30 ft. NEVER. Mountain lions and bears have extremely sensitive noses and don't like having them abused. They respond swiftly to a dose of pepper spray which is exactly what you want.

Here is another kind of defense that works for mountain lions. Because you are probably bigger anyhow, they can be bluffed. If you spot a mountain lion, stand as tall as you can, stick out your arms to appear larger, and talk loudly and aggressively.

Throw whatever you can find rocks, branches, whatever you can find if you can. Do NOT run or turn your back. If anything, threaten the mountain lion by appearing to advance toward it but not too close. And of course, have your pepper spray at the ready.

If a mountain lion is able to sneak up on you and attack you, fight back with all your might-your life may be in the balance. You will probably surprise the cat with some opposition and he'll probably leave.
