Just out of curiosity… what if I promised you that I could teach you to become a better shooter, save you time and money, AND you can do this all from your home... I know you’re interested, so I’ll see you on the other side: chrissajnog.com/newrules
I don't know if u are still doing videos i have a question when i shoot my pistol always been a hunter but the only way i can get my sights in with both eye's open is placing my chin on my shoulder is that ok or is that a bad habit I need to learn to change
I must admit, complacency has taken a hold of me in recent years, but current events and our current state as a nation has me jumping back in with both feet. Physical fitness, marksmanship, tactics, training and situational awareness are back on the front burner. I've never given it up, but it wasn't on the top of my list until recently. Excuses aside, I am elated that I've found you and your training series, your website and your resources. Thank you! I've already absorbed a lot and it's helping me and my oldest son immensely! Charlie Mike and Bravo Zulu!
I’m right handed and I keep my wallet and money in my left front pocket. My Father taught me this. If being robbed you reach your left hand into your pocket and 99.9 percent of the time the robber will look down at your pocket. Now’s your strong hand is ready to defend while they are distracted looking at your left pocket. I’m 62 this month with a broken back, and trust me this worked!
I have done all of these things since I was a kid. The only thing is that when I'm walking alone I daydream a lot. But these tips are really good. I have been robbed 3 times because I didn't listen to my instincts and what the situation was telling me. Stay alert, fellas.
To be specific... Miyamoto Musashi said that from his book the Book Of Five Rings... Not Art Of War... The reason for the sun or any light source to be somewhere behind you is to create a blind spot for anyone or an enemy... This was used by Musashi in his last duel to distract the enemy with sunlight... To add into situational awareness... Musashi also mentions the "Two-fold gaze" whicj means your eyes should not fix on a target but see overall with your eyes... Which Sajnog describes it in detail (similar idea)
One of the things I try to do is to go to places when they're not that busy. For instance, I may go to a restaurant at 3:00pm instead of 5:00pm , if I have to go to a store like WalMart ( which I try to avoid ) I'll go as soon as they open in the morning when it's less busy. Most of the time I prefer to shop at little mom & pop stores, rather than big box stores that are crowded. And I avoid big crowds like sports games, or concerts etc.
My problem is that I am situationally aware, and people think I'm paranoid. I do the whole noting who is around me, what they are doing, how long they are there, where the exits of a building are, pepper spray in-hand, dog, and gun with me when possible, avoid ambush cover, etc.. I'm 4'9", 60 y/o, female, go anywhere I want, and never been attacked, so I guess it's working.🤣
That was a great video. I used to take the train to a very bad part of the city I worked in and then walk just shy of 2 miles each way. High crime in the area around train station and the workplace, lots of drugs, etc. Did it for 5+ years, sometimes not leaving until 7 or 8 in the evening. And when I would talk to people about it when asked they thought I was a little weird with the daily mental exercises I would go through from the minute I got on the train until I got to work and vice versa. In that time I never carried a weapon of any sort, and can say I had interesting encounters with either individuals or groups usually in the evening hours, but because I had the awareness of the surroundings and knew how long it took to cover certain distances I felt safe as long as I stayed focused. One of the biggest lessons learned was, especially with a group moving towards my "bubble", was constant eye contact - letting them know that you are aware that they are there and I guess having a silent conversation with just the eyes. It was also a great opportunity, to do both, the people watching and the auditory visualization while on the train. Thank you for reinforcing that the things I was doing were the correct. I feel because I made myself go through those daily exercises it kept me confident and safe.
Would not entirely agree with eye contact, it may incite confrontation. You got to look up and close to where they are and that will show that you are looking at them via periferals and they'll notice since they are doing the same and know you're not a duck. Keep a hand half way in the pocket and they'll think you got a piece, plus, get a piece or a knife. There's no point not having one. I can't carry a firearm where I'm from (brazil) but carry a knife at all times, even at the beach(hiding it deep down. And I pulled my shank on two guys once, which was pretty effective (just flicked it open with my hands behind my back and they changed their course right away.
Love these videos. They would be even better if you added a short written summary at the bottom of the video so we can easily review what we have learned. Thank you very much! You are an awesome trainer.
4:16 You would probably get a kick, and maybe draw some enjoyment from Demon Slayer & Baki (Both On Netflix) (The 2nd one). In Baki's case the first episode of sure, in Demon Slayer's case; the main character Tanjiro's sense of smell! Thanks for the great info :)! Wishing ya a phenomenal year!
This is wonderful. I just wrote an article about situational awareness. (I'm a content writer) but additionally, as widow alone in a city, this can up my game in staying safe.
Taught my son how to smell an angry or distressed animal. He's a great kid on the trail, he has great eyes, but that's something that never even occurred to him.
Stress hormones in animals tend to lead to a wide range of biochemical changes that can be detected by scent in a number of types of secretions, which are especially excreted during moments of stress. There's a very particular scent associated with fear response and with anger response. They both are pretty strong.
If upon entering a restaurant, per the fire code, you will see a posted occupancy load; if it’s more than 49, there must be two clearly marked exits that lead to a public way. Know this: most people will exit through the same door that they used for entry. I always look for the second exit (if required). Assembly areas, depending on occupancy load, may have three exits or more. Look for clear passageways to those exits, and follow all the way to a public way (sidewalk or street).
Excellent content and presentation, Chris, so it is easy to absorb the material, thanks! Being highly active in a variety of pursuits in addition to self defense, I was surprised that for me bird watching (in a variety of habitats and hazards) ranked no. 1 for using the skill set you recommended for situational awareness (1. bird watching, 2. ballroom dancing, 3. bow hunting whitetails, 4. trail running, 5. technical rock climbing, ...). Ballroom dancing almost ties for no. 1. Skilled dancers can waltz for hours around a crowded dance floor never bumping into or cutting off another couple.
I'm saving this video. I was trained in the Marine Corps with the OODA loop that you mentioned, but I like your version better. I had a near-death experience in a 6 vehicle motorcycle collision. Ever since that accident, I've been so unable to maintain focus on my external world. This video will work as a great reference point to retrain my brain.
This video had several funny touches to it. It also had A LOT of excellent advice. It looks like the word orientated is British English. I learned OODA as Observe - Orient - Decide - Act. This sequence is repeated as time progresses.
Valuable precaution and practically applied by anyone in daily life,gains confidence in knowing the situational surrounding him or her. Great presentation!
9:30 The one with "playing games" seems like a pretty good idea that I wouldn't have thought of and I definitely should try. Maybe it will actually start me noticing details about people after a while, usually the people are just a big mess I cant get any meaning out of. I found just yesterday I couldn't even remember how many people were in the grocery when someone asked me right after shopping, I barely remember people being present
Get ya Head UP!!! He says while making a video which an only be watched on an electronic device...... The Irony. *Salutes you for your service* Enjoying your videos.
wow thank you so much for the practical every day things i can do with my family to increase situational awareness! i love the example of when you pass a group of people, ask how many people were there or were any wearing a ball cap? Coming up with predications of how people are going to act. I almost stopped watching because this seemed on the sode of paranoia at first, but i am so glad i finished watching til the end. Thank you!
Hey Chris, this was very helpful. The games you describe, are actually third eye pineal gland development , which I've worked on for years. Meditation can really help to activate your pineal gland.
I concur 100% But I'd still include "smell" when utilizing your senses, you might smell smoke wich could mean a fire, or shit wich could mean a dead guy or a diaper needs changing.
Hey Chris, great content. One comment: sense of smell doesn't only help you find a fast food rest., but once I smelled the cigarette breath and clothing of a creep hiding behind bushes
Nice job Chris but I have a couple of additional suggestions. First, spend plenty of time in the place(s) where you want to increase your situational awareness. Visit them at all times of day, all seasons and in all weather. Note the sights, sounds, smells etc. Note the behaviors of people. That way you will know what is normal activity. If you know what is normal, it will be easy to spot what is abnormal. I walk my farm a couple of times a day for this reason, and to take a break from my computer and get some exercise. Second, do all the things that you say but be the gray man while doing it. If there are bad guys present and you are acting situationally aware while everybody else isn’t, they will see that difference in behavior immediately at you will become the first casualty. Third, be unpredictable. Bad guys know how to be situationally aware too. They also know that the good guys are out there looking for them. They know that if they were a good guy, they would sit or stand in certain spots as they are the best spots to observe and defend. I call them roosts. That’s where they will look first, the roosts. Good spots are spots that you can make work for you that the bad guys will overlook. That will give you the edge. All the best!
One more thing that I find useful to practice. Shifting between wide angle vision and focused vision. Most people spend nearly 100% of their time in focused vision. Why? Because everything most people do requires it, driving does, working on a computer does, etc. The situationally aware person should spend about 80% of the time in wide angle vision and only 20% of the time in focused vision. I know that you know what wide angle vision is but some of your viewers might not. Wide angle vision means looking straight ahead with your eyes while also viewing what is in your peripheral vision. Only when you detect something that catches your attention do you switch to focused vision. When you can walk around using your wide angle vision and that practice becomes so normal to you that you don’t even think about doing it anymore, at that point you are becoming situationally aware.
Great video. I learned a lot. I do have one comment; were you aware that you had a spelling error at minute 4:36? This isn't a criticism, merely an observation.
I think the best demo of situational awareness is Brad Pitt in World War Z. He notices it takes 10 seconds for someone to turn into a zombie, and he notices that sick people are not attacked by zombies.
Chris, I do believe many vehicle models now come with the turn signals in the trunk! Never saw it with my own eyes but, it's an observation based on the lack of use within the general mobile public. Great info. I'm on #8 and the only one so far I have never practiced in life is #6 Meditation.
Thanks for the informative video. I am turning 18 soon and plan to start open carrying. I am trying to improve in all areas that will effect how I carry. Situational awareness is one of the most important things to know while carrying in a public situation in my opinion.
Dude, you misspelled exits as "exists." At about 5:18 on the sign. Ask me someday about my "Aunt Sue's" situational awareness list that she gave me. Hers was the WWII version.
Absolutely great educational videos! Please consider not flipping scene shots and camera angles every 5 seconds. It causes a loss of concentration for the viewers of what you are teaching. Or maybe it's just me it does it to, or maybe it's part of your training strategy. Thank you.
Hey Chris, awesome video and tips for SA. Thank you!! Kudos to you! I am re-reading your best seller book "Navy SEAL Shooting" and it is just amazing the amount of useful information it has. Thank you!

WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS! 1) Use The S.E.A.L loop ( a linear sequence of observing, orientation, detection and then acting then looping it round) Observe Orientate Detect Act
One thing that concerns me is that while walking on the streets I can’t see the back. Sometimes in specific situation use a mirror that mounts in my glasses. Any suggestions?
I have Aspergers, but I trained in martial arts. My sensai always said ‘always watch their eyes.’ It is a dead giveaway of their next intentions. Recently I was in a minor fight with a person I thought was a friend. He got me on the ground and was basically restraining me. I got a wrist free and clocked him in his chest. I wear steel toe shoes so I got up and as hard as I could, I kicked him in the groin. He cried like a b****. (Censored because there are too many special snowflakes and Karens on TH-cam.)
I make sure when I go out anywhere in public I’m dressed properly, by that I mean proper footwear, almost always boots, jeans and shirt that matches the weather.I always carry one of my knives. These guys I see at the grocery store or restaurant wearing big droopy cargo shorts and flip-flops just make me cringe.
Thank you, just wanted to say that in California especially cities and freeways, the reason turn signals are not used is because, if used, it warns the driver behind and to the left or right to speed up so you can't get into the space you need. I found in LA traffic that if I even looked to my side view mirror somehow the other driver instinctively knew I was gonna change lanes. IT IS HILARIOUS to watch. Here are people that are almost always totally unaware of their surroundings yet in this instance somehow they are clairvoyant. HAHAHA Well, thanks for the great video!!!
The SEAL loop is exactly the same process as the OODA Loop. Why do people need to feel they need to arbitrarily change things to something of their own?
Yeah really crasy ....once i saw a guy on bicycle in my head i said he goung to fall boom he do, small acts say alot, and ur brain detects danger before it comes
Could you make a video on how to find good deals from panic buyers who bought cool guns during the Covid scare, but now perhaps changed their minds and are looking to sell?
Sense of smell will tip you to your car on fire, or brakes burning up because they are locked on the truck in front of you. Get outa both situations asap.
Orient, not Orientate. Exits, not Exists. I'm an immigrant and I had to learn to speak English properly which unfortunately for me drives me nuts when I hear people not speak properly to the point where I'm not listening because it makes me doubt what you're saying.
@@iamanovercomer3253 yes. Good insight! I have chronic medical issues at 39 yrs old that render me unable to work. This is incredibly stressful. Dealing with the Veterans Administration and not getting the proper help for conditions. Therefore I have been doing my own research and it's overwhelming at times.
Speak for yourself. if you can by on that little sleep, good for you. More power to you. But some people need more than even 8 hours just to get by! So, don't patronize those of us who do!
Um, sorry but smell is very important when you’re backpacking alone. Bears are very smelly. And smelling someone’s body odor ahead of you, makes you aware that you just may be coming up on someone. As a female backpacker that’s very important to be aware and alert because most backpackers are male. Some are total skeezeballs.
Did somebody say breathing meditation? The Buddha has entered the chat and that, my friends, is always a good thing. May all beings be happy. May all beings be free from pain and suffering. May all beings live with ease and well-being. May all beings be free. ✌🏻

Try getting some hyperbaric oxygen therapy. It will help your brain recover. Not kidding.

It looks like the word orientated is British English.
I learned OODA as Observe - Orient - Decide - Act. This sequence is repeated as time progresses.
Oriented would be the proper word. He's falling for the whole mis-chie-vi-ous (wrong) vs mis-chie-vous thing
Also it’s said exists instead of exits

Yes . Walking in the dark , the cigarette smell is noticeable well before you see where its comes from
Or even if there’s been gun fired before you got there or some sort of irritants or anything. It’s a sense use it

Hey Chris, awesome video and tips for SA. Thank you!! Kudos to you! I am re-reading your best seller book "Navy SEAL Shooting" and it is just amazing the amount of useful information it has. Thank you!

WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS!
1) Use The S.E.A.L loop ( a linear sequence of observing, orientation, detection and then acting then looping it round)
Observe
Orientate
Detect
Act
Oh Blinkers are a sign of weakness....
do you mind if I use SEAL in my curriculum?
One thing that concerns me is that while walking on the streets I can’t see the back. Sometimes in specific situation use a mirror that mounts in my glasses. Any suggestions?
t the end of the video when he said watch your sleep I realized I was still watching his channel at 12 when I ahve to wake up at 6...
this talk reminds me of my friend dee's
wow i like it i am juset subscrib you
Interesting that you note the need for 6 hours minimum of sleep given that the Navy says 4 hours is enough sleep and put us in the water.
I don't know; I'm situationally aware that there are idiots EVERYWHERE! Watch out for EVERYBODY!!!
I’m here cause 2023..nuff said
I have Aspergers, but I trained in martial arts. My sensai always said ‘always watch their eyes.’ It is a dead giveaway of their next intentions. Recently I was in a minor fight with a person I thought was a friend. He got me on the ground and was basically restraining me. I got a wrist free and clocked him in his chest. I wear steel toe shoes so I got up and as hard as I could, I kicked him in the groin. He cried like a b****. (Censored because there are too many special snowflakes and Karens on TH-cam.)
Link to the letter game app?
0:48 Here I’m watching this video while walking on sidewalk
Sit awareness.. EXITS NOT EXISTS.
Wouldn’t that just be the “sea” loop?
THAT’S being situationally aware.
Maybe you should do a video on that topic.
Bro are you alright? You seem on edge.
Dam.... I always do that... And my spyder senses are on. Point as fck
No drinking if you’re carrying
I make sure when I go out anywhere in public I’m dressed properly, by that I mean proper footwear, almost always boots, jeans and shirt that matches the weather.I always carry one of my knives. These guys I see at the grocery store or restaurant wearing big droopy cargo shorts and flip-flops just make me cringe.
OIF FMF doc - checkmate lol
Thank you, just wanted to say that in California especially cities and freeways, the reason turn signals are not used is because, if used, it warns the driver behind and to the left or right to speed up so you can't get into the space you need. I found in LA traffic that if I even looked to my side view mirror somehow the other driver instinctively knew I was gonna change lanes. IT IS HILARIOUS to watch. Here are people that are almost always totally unaware of their surroundings yet in this instance somehow they are clairvoyant. HAHAHA Well, thanks for the great video!!!
The SEAL loop is exactly the same process as the OODA Loop. Why do people need to feel they need to arbitrarily change things to something of their own?
Yeah really crasy ....once i saw a guy on bicycle in my head i said he goung to fall boom he do, small acts say alot, and ur brain detects danger before it comes
Could you make a video on how to find good deals from panic buyers who bought cool guns during the Covid scare, but now perhaps changed their minds and are looking to sell?
Sense of smell will tip you to your car on fire, or brakes burning up because they are locked on the truck in front of you. Get outa both situations asap.
Now i can finally be like jason bourne
In short, phone out of our faces and look around frequently.
Orient, not Orientate. Exits, not Exists. I'm an immigrant and I had to learn to speak English properly which unfortunately for me drives me nuts when I hear people not speak properly to the point where I'm not listening because it makes me doubt what you're saying.
You mention drinking...the reason the Federal Govt wants to legalize marijuana in all 50 states, marijuana users don't fight for their rights
Blablabla not bringing much to a girl
You don't orientate. You orient.
That sleeping study is flawed. I sleep 5 to 6 hrs per night and I'm fine.
Perhaps you think you are fine, but maybe not. Who knows, to each their own.
@@paraAA82 That was my point. 😃
You have been in a stressful situation ❓
@@iamanovercomer3253 yes. Good insight! I have chronic medical issues at 39 yrs old that render me unable to work. This is incredibly stressful. Dealing with the Veterans Administration and not getting the proper help for conditions. Therefore I have been doing my own research and it's overwhelming at times.
Speak for yourself. if you can by on that little sleep, good for you. More power to you. But some people need more than even 8 hours just to get by! So, don't patronize those of us who do!
Um, sorry but smell is very important when you’re backpacking alone. Bears are very smelly. And smelling someone’s body odor ahead of you, makes you aware that you just may be coming up on someone. As a female backpacker that’s very important to be aware and alert because most backpackers are male. Some are total skeezeballs.
Did somebody say breathing meditation? The Buddha has entered the chat and that, my friends, is always a good thing.
May all beings be happy.
May all beings be free from pain and suffering.
May all beings live with ease and well-being.
May all beings be free. ✌🏻
