Imagine if you're in a life or death situation, and you're unable to communicate. How would you communicate to one of your team members without being discovered?

That's why hand signals are an invaluable tool that can be used in any environment when you cannot communicate as you normally would.

NFL quarterbacks use hand signals to shift offenses, and NASCAR drivers use signals to indicate when they are ready to hit the pit stop. In baseball, mostly everyone on the team knows a variety of hand signals and uses them during the game.

SWAT, military personnel, and the police use hand signals to communicate as well, especially when speaking is not possible. Extrasensory perception may be strong within your team, but when push comes to shove hand signals are what is going to keep you alive.

On the next page learn some basic, yet necessary hand signals every survivalist should know. By knowing these hand signals before SHTF, you'll feel safe knowing you have another form of communication under your belt when you need it the most.
