Personal Protection

[Devonian]

Ok, S13's thread about the Lone Wolf got me thinking about protecting yourself from injury, I'm not thinking about protection against armed resistance/attacks, but more about protecting yourself from injury on a daily basis as you go about your business in a Post SHTF World.

So what I'm talking about is protecting yourself from serious cuts (which could get infected or sever a ligament for example); broken limbs; concussion etc etc.

All of which could seriously affect your ability to survive.

Its all too easily to seriously damage your body: slipping on a wet tree trunk; cutting your forearm open on a broken window; impaling yourself on a broken stick or steel bar; ripping your hands apart when trying to pry open a security door; slipping on spilt oil; falling through a roof or ceiling......there are many many ways that we can really ruin our day!

So without kitting ourselves out like this:



What special clothing or equipment do you have or are you planning on getting to help protect yourself and give yourself a better chance of surviving?
