I am probably most known for the organic greens I retail at the weekend market within our community. They come straight out of my own greenhouse. I also accept orders Monday through Friday.
I do not mind the workout. One of my neighbors is always wanting shallots or needing good zucchini for dinner with the mother-in-law. When I traipse around extending the remainders of my platter, I carry self defense devices to protect myself walking.
In my bag, there are a few surprising items. I carry a hidden camera embedded in sunglasses. I set it to record before knocking on any door unannounced. I carry a book diversion safe, a real book with space carved out in the center for concealing money.
A dog repeller spray comes in handy whenever I come across a mad canine, or another pepper spray if I neglect to bring any. Plus I use a safety light or personal alarm with flashlight to protect myself walking after sundown.
The gravest danger I have met so far came in the form of a beggar turned mugger. He had the appearance of a homeless person and I only approached him to offer the arugulas I had.
He ordered me at knifepoint to produce all my money. I pulled my cell phone stun gun out and went for his arm. Was I grateful I have self defense devices to protect myself walking!
The knife fell down on the ground and I saw that my stunning tool had incapacitated the aggressor. I am glad I do not lug too much weight around or I never would have escaped while he tried to regain his bearings.
I am not surprised that others ask how I protect myself walking, but I get dumbfounded when they ask about my walking. It is just one more reason I find promoting greens to be timely and called for.
