Tactical Hand Signals Every Survivalist Should Know

Hand signals when you cannot communicate as you normally would is an invaluable tool that is used in many, many environments.

NASCAR drivers use hand signals to indicate they are getting ready to hit the pit stop. NFL quarterbacks use them to shift offenses. In baseball, just about everyone on the team knows hand signals and most use them throughout a ball game.

In more serious situations, military personnel, SWAT and the police use them to communicate, particularly when silent communication is of the essence. You may know your team like the back of your hand, but communicating by ESP really is not very effective.

For a survivalist, using hand signals in a STHF moment is an invaluable tool as well, particularly if you need to be silent or cannot communicate by traditional means.

We will cover some handy (and crucial) basic hand signals every survivalist should know, before they get to that SHTF moment (seriously!) continue on….
