About this ebook
A hands-on, practical survival guide from retired Navy SEAL Clint Emerson—adapted for civilians from actual special forces operations—to eluding pursuers, evading capture, and surviving any dangerous situation.
In today’s increasingly dangerous world, threats to your personal safety are everywhere. From acts of terror to mass shootings, and from the unseen (and sometimes virtual) matrix of everyday crime, danger is no longer confined to dark alleys or unstable regions. Potentially life-threatening circumstances can arise anywhere, anytime, and Clint Emerson—former Navy SEAL—wants you to be prepared.
100 Deadly Skills contains proven self-defense skills, evasion tactics, and immobilizing maneuvers—modified from the world of black ops—to help you take action in numerous “worst case” scenarios from escaping a locked trunk, to making an improvised Taser, to tricking facial recognition software. With easy-to-understand instructions and illustrations, Emerson outlines in detail many life-saving strategies and teaches you how to think and act like a member of the special forces.
This complete course in survival teaches you how to prevent tracking, evade a kidnapping, elude an active shooter, rappel down the side of a building, immobilize a bad guy, protect yourself against cyber-criminals, and much more—all using low-tech to “no-tech” methods. Clear, detailed, and presented in an easy-to-understand and execute format, 100 Deadly Skills is an invaluable resource. Because let’s face it, when danger is imminent, you don’t have time for complicated instructions.

Good reading like most books packed with attractive knowledge from someone's else perspective. Use common sense and items you can buy locally to defend yourself in any situation. No need of making anyone else cash-cow fatter. Use your own brains and research online for free.. SEALS operate in ways the common civilian can't, and the tactics you can use are free online....PRACTICE, PRACTICE and ADAPT TO FIT YOUR LIFE STYLE.

When I started off reading I almost wanted to get a refund; the first scenarios like jumping out of a plane with a wing sute didn't really seem relevant for civilians in trouble. But based on the reviews I decided to keep reading and I liked it. It gives insight into the training special forces receive and is entertaining as well as educational. In some cases it might even prove practical in being a little less ignorent when traveling in some countries.

This is something you should expect from a high school student's creative writing program. It's pure trash. I am amazed that this is advertised as being written by a seal. Half of this is not close to survival information, it's garbage. I am appalled that I payed what I did for this. It's a cheat, an absolute rip off. Everything in this book are pure lies and movie goers fiction.
