    1. Enter building
    2. Locate all exits
    3. Never sit with your back to a door.
    4. Continue with your life.

    As a retired Green Beret with many of the same experiences as Clint, I would say that the most important thing he alludes to is being PREPARED and ALWAYS having contingency plans. when you plan to go into dangerous situations and environments, planning, anticipating what could go wrong, and attention to detail can literally mean the difference between life and death. The average person doesn't need to take it the the level we did, but you can apply the same mentality. I don't mean be a fanatical "prepper", but things like practicing changing a tire (this includes every driver in your household), never letting your cellphone battery run down, always have emergency equipment and supplies in your car, especially in the winter. I carry food, water, space blanket, waterproof jacket, lighter, knife, first aid kit, etc. Keep enough gas in your car. Avoid getting lost by mapping your route ahead of time. And have emergency numbers in your phone; not just 911, but roadside assistance, etc.

    Always ask your waiter for a floor plan along with the menu.

    on a date
    her: "so what do you do in your spare time"
    him: "quiet, im evaluating the best line of exit"
  • @truthseeker6584
    He said: "Don´t go with the herd." Really good advice.

    So you can avoid people trampling each other to death in mass panic, as unfortunately it has happened many times in the history of mankind...

  • @eizol568
    The way he talks so calmly, you know this guy is good.
  • @jasongrady8590
    I always bring a little stack of ceramic tiles with me when my wife and I go out to eat. My wife brings the books, socks, and the fishing weights.
