Tim,

I purchased your Survival Pack training a few months ago. To date, I still haven’t had the courage or stomach to dive into it. I know that every day that passes leaves my family and me at risk, and I have set a “drop dead” deadline for myself to dig into your training with my husband.

I want you to know that you have helped me already. For some of us (perhaps women especially) the bulk of our training is mental preparation. Thanks to you, I am nearly ready. Thanks to you, I am able to decide that I will not be one of those (dead) women who makes the mistake of pleading for her life or thinking that her attacker will “go easy” on her if she is cooperative.

Honestly, I’m still working on mental toughness. I’m getting comfortable with the reality that if attacked, I will have to severely and deliberately damage another human being. Break a leg. Crush a windpipe. Even typing those words makes me queasy. But only a little now.

Thanks to you, I’m nearly ready to work on targeting and skills, because thanks to you I’ve decided there is no way I’m going to leave my husband wifeless, my kids without a mom, and some violent a**hole with only peri-orbital scratches because I didn’t have the guts or skill to gouge his friggin’ eyeball out!

Tim, thank you for your courage and clarity to continue your important work. God bless you and your family.
