Yeah, also, it might not be gunshots at all. A lot of people can't tell the difference between fireworks, gunshots, engines backfiring, etc... Because they've rarely, or have never heard a real gunshot outside of movies and games. If you see someone with a gun though, you'll know.
Yeah but they're not very common, and they don't particularly care about you. No offense but your life is too boring. (Statistically speaking. I don't know you personally. But most people are boring compared to a Navy Seal.)
Nevermind your paranoia... organize your "stuff" so you can locate your duct tape, books, ceramic tiles, spare sock, rolled quarters, newspaper, salt and pepper really quickly.
Knowledge is lightweight portable and worth having.. You laugh , until it's happening and then you have to play catch up.. No one has to know WHY you just looked around but you . Be safe.😎👍
Just do a walk through and check the kitchen by glancing through the door. I do this for two reasons, I want to see the condition of the food prep area and I want to see the path through the kitchen to that exit.
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.
Can I ask, how does one become a ranger? I know, you are a green beret. But do you have to be enlisted for awhile before being eligible for ranger school or rasp?
@@marttram2183 To become an Army Ranger with the 75th, you can enlist with option 40 on your contract or volunteer for the selection process at any point in your career if you qualify.

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...
Agreed, in fact in situations like that tragic fire with the pyrotechnics display at that rock concert many years back, god this is a “perfect” yet obviously horrifically tragic display of *exactly* what he’s referring to. 80% of attendees fled to the exact same door they came in with. Sadly, just as he described, this created a bottleneck and everybody was stuck there, or trampled, and very few escaped, the rest perished right there, after being stuck in that exact bottleneck *for the duration of the fire* never able to get through. Those who survived came in other exits (band members, employees) and the few that were either nearby or noticed that there was at least one visible exit door, with no bottleneck of a frantic mob. I’m sure there’s an “excellent” write up on how that tragedy went down, and sadly just how many alternative escape routes were widely available, yet unknown to 80% of people. Again, almost everyone will subconsciously head to the door they entered to get out, even in an emergency. The band, white something, white snake? Sorry I don’t recall but if you Google pyrotechnic fire club tragedy, it’s sure to come up. Couldn’t be a more clear example of why he harps on identifying exists than that tragedy.
my dad always taught me this, whenever somethings bad is happening dont go with the crowd, bc then as you said it'll put you on so much more risk by just going with the crowd
Advices like not going with the herd is optional, why? What if it's a mass shooting and shooters are just spray n' praying? You can use others as a meat shield, Sure it sounds gruesome and villainous but in this world, It's survival of the fittest. Though correct me if im wrong on that move because im still just a 16 year old.
I appreciate him taking the time to create a video like this. I get teased so much for my habit of locating exits and potential ways to protect myself. I’ve never been attacked, but as a kid, I’ve seen many people in my neighborhood who have been attacked. I like to credit that fact that I’ve been okay for this long because I do my best to keep my wits about. And ultimately, if I do not feel absolutely safe, or that I could potentially escape or be able to defend myself, I just LEAVE. This rarely happens, but sometimes it better just to be safe than sorry.
appleator... I was too busy wondering where I would quickly get my hands on some ceramic tiles when the active shooter enters the restaurant... and how quickly I could duct tape a vest together.
@@bobinthewest8559 that tip is really for more of a SHTF situation than an active shooter situation. what do tons of houses have in them? ceramic tile on counters, in bathrooms etc and books so in a SHTF situation where you run the risk of needing some body armor now you know something thatll stop bullets

THANK YOU for this video! I am in the fire service industry and spend alot of time thinking about escape planning. Basic situational awareness can absolutely make a difference in life or death!!
The most valuable lesson of this... You must practice this alot... Everyday all day to become compitent at it... There's a difference between being paranoid and being prepared... Paranoid your questioning everything including your own plan... Prepared is astablishing plan a, b, c and sticking to it then moving on with your event.. 5 minutes preparation can save your life...
The most valuable lesson of this is: He belonged to the best trained people in the US and there are a couple hundred like him at all times. But, since 2001 the US is getting nowhere, neither in Afghanistan nor basically anywhere else. Even with people like him (or maybe even, because...?). Sure, occasionally there is some success, like the killing of Osama bin Laden. But in the end, who cares.
Agreed - if nothing else, back to the wall, note the exits. Do that little snoop to the back/restroom area he recommends (which you’re gunna do at some point anyway, just do it first) and oops your way into the entry to the kitchen to maybe catch a glimpse at the emergency exit door. Also note the large walk-in fridge all kitchens have.. oh, and friggin butcher knives. How did this guy not think of any of this, particularly when “evaluating” a restaurant!? I know literally nothing and have much better plans thinking about it for 60 seconds. How?
11:53 I was thinking of literally shaking the salt and pepper on their eyes. But opening the cap and placing the salt and/or pepper on my hand then throwing it sounds like a better plan...
Processed them in Gulf War 2 in a Navy base & I have so much respect for the Seals. Very smart, decent, humble, take their jobs seriously, down-to-earth. Listen to him, he sounds calm. Best folks!
These are some great tricks! People looked at me weird today when I walked by with 9 books strapped to different parts of my body, but I sure felt safe. It's a bit of a hassle to get them off me before I go to bed, and I have to wake up twenty minutes early now to put them back on, but I feel it's worth it.
Hang on, what!? You sleep? Well there's your first mistake there, even I can see that. The worst enemy of situational awareness has to be unconsciousness. Sorry dude, I fear your books are going to prove completely useless. At least tell me you sleep with a handful of salt!!!
What's funny is there's an anime called JoJo's Bizarre Adventure where he literally survives a multi-knife throwing attack by having books secretly taped to different parts of his body underneath his clothes, lol.
He shows you how to hold it and clearly indicates the pointy end. Hold it with the tip like you want to carry a pair of scissors safely and then stab down at whoever is trying to get you.
My Dad (OSS WWII) taught me this at a young age, and would consistently reinforce... believe none of what you hear... and half of what you see... and when you want to know the truth about anything (like a news story, etc.) follow the dollar, it will lead you to the truth...
@@sam8192 It's also an aphorism commonly repurposed by antisemmitic conspiracy theorists to imply that Jews are like...everyone's enemy, or something. Because """logic""".
Observation skills and situation awareness are very important when going into a hostile situation. It's more important to know where the exit is than to count how many hostiles to shoot at.
"there were four cars in that parking lot, there wasn't a truck and the guy at the bar wasn't in that great of a shape" Clint Emerson: 1 Jason Bourne: 0
1) Find cover, not concealment. 2) Identify primary threat, or any that are in my immediate area. 2b) if no threat can be found is there a quick and safe way out? If so, use it 3) If cannot escape, flat sights, even trigger squeeze.
Ur tips are fine, Archangel. But u can't always carry a gun anywhere. U gonna have to use other means, such as improvised weapons and edged weapons. I for one also legally conceal carry a handgun. But, I also use other means to defend myself. And what if ur gun jams? Now what? Use it as a fuckin' club, that's what.
Stephanie Lopez but don’t pull a fire alarm in cases of an active shooter, it only pushes people outside, which the shooter may see as an invitation to join them there
Tbh, let's say the shooter was still far away and you were trapped in a dead end area/room, then if you had duct tape and books on you, then you could quickly make body armour in time. I honestly think the body armour strat is the last option, since running and hiding should be the first thing you do. Also, if you were trapped in a dead end area with no escape routes or hiding places, then your option would probably be to fight the aggressor/shooter.. so if you have time to make body armour, then it might help protect your vital organs as you try to bring down the attacker.

@@nitronate9846 well I think even phones can be used in place of cremaic tiles. Put two smartphones between two books and duct tape it. Solid body armour. Of course they will have to be aware of the situation to act.
I just started reading Clint's latest book and this is a great review of chapter one. I read several of his books and always learn so much. Thank you God for having men like Clint on our side.
I now want to see a spycraft movie where they try to escape through the kitchen and there is no exit. with the line "WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO DOOR! THERE IS ALWAYS A DOOR IN THE KITCHEN!"
my father always told me when im feeling funny about something 90% of time its right... randomly cross the street, cross back and cut back you will find the issue and the threat wil feel it.... look around notice by the third stop and see whose still around... the press on as would be.
Everytime I enter a new venue or something, I always look for the cameras, the exits, potential areas where people could get trampled, places of communication (landlines) and points of low security like what happened in Manchester, they let outsiders intermingle with concertgoers without dispersing the crowd.

Always ask your waiter for a floor plan along with the menu.
Just do a walk through and check the kitchen by glancing through the door. I do this for two reasons, I want to see the condition of the food prep area and I want to see the path through the kitchen to that exit.
In many jurisdictions they are required to be posted on the wall with the fire exit routes marked.
Or just always know where the exit is.
Most floor plans are on the walls of buildings.

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.

Do that little snoop to the back/restroom area he recommends (which you’re gunna do at some point anyway, just do it first) and oops your way into the entry to the kitchen to maybe catch a glimpse at the emergency exit door. Also note the large walk-in fridge all kitchens have.. oh, and friggin butcher knives. How did this guy not think of any of this, particularly when “evaluating” a restaurant!? I know literally nothing and have much better plans thinking about it for 60 seconds. How?

Yes. Grab some o' that good ol' ducktape.
@@ishitamisra4585 I think you mean Duct Tape.
@@ishitamisra4585 Ducktape is also a brand name for duct tape, so either one is technically correct.
Pencils for becoming John Wick
Pencils so you can show the shooter a magic trick.
Man, the primary motivation to getting in shape... so one can be agile and get out of dodge.
11:53 I was thinking of literally shaking the salt and pepper on their eyes. But opening the cap and placing the salt and/or pepper on my hand then throwing it sounds like a better plan...
Would you like some grated parmesan with that?
Throwing the salt and pepper container with an open/loose cap sounds interesting to me too
Don't throw, mash. Be aggressive. This person is trying to kill you. Rub it in like you're a bully rubbing dirt in someone's face. Make it burn.
@@Saltpork305
And then the person was shot before they got anywhere near the killer.
Could be worse, i for some reason was thinking about putting it in my mouth and and spitting it all at him

Man I want a movie with this guy as the stunt supervisor.
I think he should be in the movie. Doing stunts.
Hollywood never thought of that.
preferably a new Bourne movie ^_^
He wants this too. That, and more corporate clients asking him to teach their employees to look for ceramic tiles they can tape to books.
These are some great tricks! People looked at me weird today when I walked by with 9 books strapped to different parts of my body, but I sure felt safe. It's a bit of a hassle to get them off me before I go to bed, and I have to wake up twenty minutes early now to put them back on, but I feel it's worth it.
You’re not supposed to take them off otherwise you’re vulnerable when you sleep.
Hang on, what!? You sleep? Well there's your first mistake there, even I can see that. The worst enemy of situational awareness has to be unconsciousness. Sorry dude, I fear your books are going to prove completely useless. At least tell me you sleep with a handful of salt!!!
And a great excuse to get out of gymn
What's funny is there's an anime called JoJo's Bizarre Adventure where he literally survives a multi-knife throwing attack by having books secretly taped to different parts of his body underneath his clothes, lol.
so funny!!
I like how they deliberately gloss over the steel pen as "puncture tool; alright moving on.."
pretty self explanatory i would say xD
He shows you how to hold it and clearly indicates the pointy end. Hold it with the tip like you want to carry a pair of scissors safely and then stab down at whoever is trying to get you.
They also held back on the full preparation of the "nail bat".
Clint is my favorite retired Navy Seal.
Very smart and good guy, dedicates his life to helping people and making them more aware, wish him all the best!
My Dad (OSS WWII) taught me this at a young age, and would consistently reinforce... believe none of what you hear... and half of what you see... and when you want to know the truth about anything (like a news story, etc.) follow the dollar, it will lead you to the truth...
Always follow the money!
How to follow money?
Wow! That's so cool. OSS was the precursor to CIA! Tell your dad thank you for his service!
A wise man your dad was/is.

If there's a fan around and a bag of salt or another irritant, like chili powder, it's actually a good idea to set a trap if there's time.

Observation skills and situation awareness are very important when going into a hostile situation. It's more important to know where the exit is than to count how many hostiles to shoot at.

"there were four cars in that parking lot, there wasn't a truck and the guy at the bar wasn't in that great of a shape"
Clint Emerson: 1
Jason Bourne: 0
He said parking lot, not gas pumps.
@@jamillx Where did you get gas pump? His comment says parking lot
to be fair, Bourne didn't say that he was in good shape just that he knew how to handle himself which I assume would mean fight.
@@WILD__THINGS there are 4 cars at the gas pumps, they don't show the parking lot
To be fair, the parking lot could have extended out of camera view, and there were multiple people at the bar/counter.
Hands down one of the most insightful and useful videos I think I’ve ever watched on RUclips

I’d love more videos like this. Such information is crucial and not often discussed
I like people whom take everything seriously and doesn't underestimate anything.
Waiter: how many ceramic tiles do you want with your burrito?
Me: yes
1) Find cover, not concealment.
2) Identify primary threat, or any that are in my immediate area.
2b) if no threat can be found is there a quick and safe way out? If so, use it
3) If cannot escape, flat sights, even trigger squeeze.
I’m late to the draw, but... why not concealment?
@@mkuti-childress3625 concealment simply hides you but can be shot through. Think...plywood. cover would be something like an engine block.
@@ninponighthawk I hadnt even thought of that. Depending on the situation there could be stray bullets. Very good.
@@ninponighthawk Yes. Plywood - concealment. For cover I prefer a different continent.
Ur tips are fine, Archangel. But u can't always carry a gun anywhere. U gonna have to use other means, such as improvised weapons and edged weapons. I for one also legally conceal carry a handgun. But, I also use other means to defend myself. And what if ur gun jams? Now what? Use it as a fuckin' club, that's what.
Also if you're in a large assembly area, like a concert, the pull down fire alarms are always within 5ft of an exit.
Stephanie Lopez but don’t pull a fire alarm in cases of an active shooter, it only pushes people outside, which the shooter may see as an invitation to join them there
really digging this whole series. this gentleman presents well, clear concise, calm & confident.
You just rocked my world. thank you for this education, I look forward to watching more of your tutorials.
Clint Emerson can be summed up in 1 word: Badass
Shooter: “I’m gonna shoot you!”
Me: “Hold on! Let me duct tape these two books together first!”
Tbh, let's say the shooter was still far away and you were trapped in a dead end area/room, then if you had duct tape and books on you, then you could quickly make body armour in time. I honestly think the body armour strat is the last option, since running and hiding should be the first thing you do. Also, if you were trapped in a dead end area with no escape routes or hiding places, then your option would probably be to fight the aggressor/shooter.. so if you have time to make body armour, then it might help protect your vital organs as you try to bring down the attacker.

We need to teach this in schools! It will prepare all of us for a crisis, and it will serve us all better in the future. I wish we could bring more awareness to the fact that we don't have to be helpless anymore in a time of crisis.

Ahhhhhhhhh, that's wrong. But, touché because i laughed and its true.
This was my first thought.
nah most kids are too interested in their phones to see anything going on around them.
@@nitronate9846 well I think even phones can be used in place of cremaic tiles. Put two smartphones between two books and duct tape it. Solid body armour.
Of course they will have to be aware of the situation to act.

@LagiNaLangAko23 My dog hates it when I throw him in ahead of me. LOL.
What I learned is that I need to have duct tape on me at all times
These days, for me, it's binder clips.
The key is to wrap some duct tape around your balls for emergency use, no one will ever check your balls for spare duct tape.

Clint, thank you for your service.
I now want to see a spycraft movie where they try to escape through the kitchen and there is no exit.
with the line "WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO DOOR! THERE IS ALWAYS A DOOR IN THE KITCHEN!"
this sounds like Deadpool 3
Building codes require kitchen exits in the event of fire.
Plus it's totally impractical to get food deliveries in the quantities required for a restaurant through the main part of the building.
Well now you can duct tape some pans together and raid the spice rack😜
That's what life's all about right? Be prepared at everything.
my father always told me when im feeling funny about something 90% of time its right... randomly cross the street, cross back and cut back you will find the issue and the threat wil feel it.... look around notice by the third stop and see whose still around... the press on as would be.
we need more of these military survival tactics
Everytime I enter a new venue or something, I always look for the cameras, the exits, potential areas where people could get trampled, places of communication (landlines) and points of low security like what happened in Manchester, they let outsiders intermingle with concertgoers without dispersing the crowd.
