Don’t put a climbing rope on asphalt the oils will mess it up.
If you really need a pee and can’t somewhere to go, put your hand in a bowl of warm water.
If you’re out walking late at night, having bigger dogs help. Ain’t nobody gonna come up to me looking for trouble if they see me walking a couple big pit mixes.
Don’t get into fights of any kind. Nobody comes out the winner, just losers.
Honor, Street Cred, Respect, whatever. None of that is worth injuries and the bills from the hospital or getting involved with the police over.
Don’t stop or talk when people are trying to talk to you in a public place, especially if you’re in a foreign country.
Stray dogs:
If you pass somewhere and there are suddenly stray dogs in your way, just squat down and show your hands. Hands down, palms up. If they come to sniff and shit, keep your palms below their face. Basically let them come to you. When they trust you, you can pat the top of the head. But patting the top of the head before they know you can be dangerous, as you might use them to hit them, for example.Usually within seconds the whole pack comes to get some love :)
I’ve never been attacked by a dog this way. But if a dog would come at me, actually aggressive and not slow down, I hear you should use your feet to defend yourself.
Don’t just walk through their territory.
If you do have to defend yourself, indiscriminate use of a grenade launcher sends a powerful message.

palms up???
Like thisI would say, the psychology behind is that we grip into our palms. So it’s harder to hide something behind your palms. You’re showing in every way you are not backstabbing them.
Seems dangerous is what im saying. I do palm down on only one hand. Also feet does not seem like a good idea. I would not want to reduce my balance and verticality nor make my groin more of a target.
If a dog is jumping up on you then you should put your knee up and they’ll stop. It’s a good way to train dogs not to jump up on people.
The defense with the feet I got from someone who had to defend themselves multiple times. I don’t remember the details, but it’s about the easier way to keep distance from their mouth without it biting onto anything… idk. I’d say, check some youtube videos or other resources of people who talk from experience. :)
I think another important reason is to keep the face away. If you were to use your fists, you’d have to lean forward, bringing your face closer to their mouth. You’re also not allowing them to bite anywhere, like your legs. Of course, much like a knife fight, you don’t wanna be in this situation in the first place.
The palm thing, if you’re already doing a lot of other things right, it probably doesn’t matter much. But I find it signals more intent that you mean no harm. And by the time they come that close to you, I don’t see them attacking you, like ever. And if they were to show hostile behaviour beforehand, you have time to change your hand position and stand up.
Always look at both sides before you start crossing the road.
This applies to one way roads too.
Especially 1 way roads, if someone’s not paying enough attention to see a no entry sign they aren’t paying enough attention to see you
Even interstates?
No, the advice there is to not cross them at all unless on a different elevation.
Like shrooms?
Street smart
Never go to a secondary location.
Walk with a purpose.
Keep eye contact to a minimum.
Use mirror, reflections and shadows to tell movement without looking directly at it.
Don’t use headphones, you need your senses.
Don’t listen to strangers.
Trust your gut.
If you want people to move out of your way when walking, look over their heads or behind them. That unconsciously signals other walkers to move.
In the United States, the most common street name is second Street. That’s because some municipalities have first Street and some municipalities have main Street.
That’s a fun fact, ty
If someone asks you where you’re from say “nowhere”
I normally say I’m from Pain-Town and offer to give them a tour if they keep being nosey
“Don’t worry about it.”
This actually works for a lot of questions.
“Don’t worry about it.”
That is a very different response to that question and one that could very well escalate the situation.
The correct answer is: “nowhere”
“brass city” as you spit near their shoes is good too!
If your arm falls asleep, put water on it it’ll wake it up
