What to Bring When Walking Alone: Essential Items for Personal Safety

Walking alone, whether by choice or necessity, can be an exhilarating experience. It provides time for reflection, moment of peace or simply transportation from point A to B – though safety must always remain top of mind – at Rings Knife we understand this importance and offer this guide on what items should be carried when walking solo.

Stay Alert With a Personal Alarm A personal alarm can be lifesaving in an emergency situation, acting as a small device which emits a loud alarm sound upon activation and helping deter attackers or alert passersby of potential dangers. They’re easy to set off using either pull pins or buttons – make sure that one’s always with them just in case!

Lighting Your Path with a Flashlight A portable flashlight not only illuminates your path in low lighting conditions, but it can also act as an emergency signal and warning device. Some models even come equipped with special features that help disorient potential aggressors allowing time for escape.

Use Our Personal Defense Ring to Shield Yourself Our Personal Defense Ring is discreet jewelry designed to double as self-defense equipment, designed for continuous wear. At any moment when threatened, a quick flick transforms this ring into an effective protective device capable of deterring attackers.

Bring a Whistle With You Whistles are sound-making devices designed to attract attention from a distance and can be an invaluable way of drawing it in different situations, not just personal safety-related ones.

Pepper Spray as a Non-Lethal Defense Strategy Pepper spray is an increasingly popular self-defense option, used to temporarily incapacitate attackers while providing time for you to escape to safety. Make sure it’s legal in your region and that you understand its proper usage before purchasing one for use against violent attackers.

Keep Your Phone Charged Your phone is your lifeline in an emergency; keep it charged and within easy access in case something comes up that requires assistance or GPS navigation to find your way home, or various safety apps designed specifically to aid solo travellers.
