Hello, everybody.

0:02

Hello everybody and

0:02

welcome to the show the biggest

0:04

show the most important and

0:04

critically acclaimed podcast is

0:07

recorded. Big breath, they're in

0:07

our car, and today we are in the

0:12

Hemi studio. That's right, we

0:12

are in the 397. Hemi studio, and

0:19

we are going down the road.

0:19

Beautiful day and we're here to

0:24

talk about security. We're gonna

0:24

talk about security, actually,

0:29

we're gonna tie it to kinds of

0:29

security. We're gonna talk about

0:33

just observations from sort of

0:33

security we've done and then

0:36

we're going to talk a little bit

0:36

about security that we can you a

0:40

person can do that is both

0:40

stealthy, and will be effective,

0:46

at least to an extent if the

0:46

power is on or off. And we're

0:50

not talking about combat type

0:50

security, we're talking about

0:53

home type security,

0:56

keeping somebody from

0:56

Boston in your door and taking

0:58

your stuff.

1:00

Now, first, we're going

1:00

to talk about some things that

1:04

we've done in our, in our, or at

1:04

least one thing that we've done

1:07

at our home that has made a huge

1:07

difference in the amount of, of

1:12

security basically, that, you

1:12

know, we have in, in our little,

1:18

our little piece of land in

1:18

town, we live in a town of about

1:21

1200 people, and it's not a very

1:21

dangerous place to live. There

1:26

are no riots going on in our

1:26

community. And it's not the kind

1:33

of place that I can never

1:33

imagine there being riots going

1:37

on short of full scale teotwawki

1:37

because, frankly, the little old

1:44

ladies in town just really don't

1:44

scare me that much. And half the

1:49

town is the ladies a good

1:49

portion of the roster, Amish and

1:54

Mennonites and they're really not

1:55

not very violent,

1:57

violent, no.

1:58

But to the rest of us

1:58

aren't all that violent or prone

2:02

to taking other people's stuff either

2:04

in the few that are

2:04

everybody knows. So, you know,

2:10

we know who to look out for.

2:10

Now, let me give you the caveat

2:14

here of we do not live where we

2:14

live by accident, okay. We don't

2:21

live at what other people would

2:21

consider a bug out location. By

2:28

accident, we live there on

2:28

purpose. We've lived there on

2:31

purpose for many, many years. We

2:31

live there because we like not

2:35

having to worry about city and

2:35

suburb things.

2:39

As well as liking to be

2:39

out among gardeners creature the

2:44

Wild Things Are,

2:44

yeah, absolutely. Where

2:44

the Wild Things Are. And so

2:51

anyway, one of the things we've

2:51

done though, is we've had a we

2:55

years ago, we live in a town or

2:55

a little town, one of our quirks

2:58

for our town is we have a I

2:58

don't call it assisted living

3:01

because it's not assisted eliminated residential

3:03

cares, residential care

3:04

facility for people who

3:04

have

3:09

developmental disorders

3:11

and mental problems, but

3:11

they're non dangerous. And

3:18

they're non criminal. They're

3:18

just people that need a place to

3:22

stay. But it's a residential,

3:22

residential facility. It's not a

3:27

lockdown facility because

3:27

they're not criminals. And they

3:31

just are there because you know,

3:31

that we have some things yeah,

3:35

they get fed, they have good

3:35

hygiene, well, enforced hygiene

3:41

kind of stuff. And you know,

3:41

that's, that's, I think, but

3:46

they can get out if they want

3:46

to, there's no it's not there's

3:49

not a lock on the door.

3:51

And they frequently are, frequently are

3:53

out at night. And we I

3:53

noticed a bunch of footprints in

3:58

my yard one night in the snow.

3:58

And I was like what in the world

4:01

is going on? So I started trying

4:01

to figure it out what was going

4:04

on and what was going on. And

4:04

some of these people were out at

4:06

midnight or 1am wandering around

4:06

the neighborhood just looking

4:10

around at stuff. They weren't

4:10

stealing anything. Nothing was

4:13

missing. Nothing was broken

4:13

into. They were just out

4:16

wandering around

4:17

poking around, poking

4:17

around. Yeah.

4:21

And you know that that

4:21

does not fascinate me at all.

4:24

I'm, that's not my dance. I'm

4:24

not into that. So I went out and

4:27

bought an inexpensive Do It

4:27

Yourself 12 camera home security

4:32

system and I put up the cameras

4:32

one day, one weekend. And it was

4:39

interesting what happened to the

4:39

snow, the footprints in the snow

4:42

immediately stopped. Okay. And

4:42

then within the next couple of

4:48

weeks, we started hearing

4:48

comments when we were at the

4:50

grocery store in the gas

4:50

station. Some from people who I

4:54

really didn't even know and who

4:54

I was pretty sure and had no

4:58

idea where I live. I mean, it's

4:58

a small town, but it's not that

5:02

smaller. Everybody knows. Well,

5:02

there's two subsets of people,

5:10

one subset of people, they No,

5:10

no, everybody know everything

5:14

and everybody,

5:15

they would say we live in

5:15

the Helen Gibbons house. That's

5:17

right, which is right

5:17

across the street from the

5:19

Hudson house. Okay, and Helen

5:19

and Gibbon have both been dead

5:23

for 30 years, but has been dead

5:23

for almost 40. But we live in

5:27

her house. And you know, was a

5:27

little old lady. Where do you

5:32

live? We live in the Helen

5:32

Gibbons house. Oh, yeah. Okay.

5:37

Well, hello there for 60 years.

5:37

And, you know, anyway, pushing

5:45

right along. The security system

5:45

went up cameras, and we got the

5:52

little red eyes on and we

5:52

started getting people

5:55

commenting. Say, Hey, we haven't

5:55

put the security system up for I

5:59

noticed you have those security

5:59

cameras now. And people just

6:03

driving around. They noticed

6:03

that we had a security system.

6:08

These weren't people who

6:08

drive around town casing

6:10

people's houses so they can

6:10

break in. No, no, I don't recall

6:14

a break in in town for years.

6:14

I'm sure there have been.

6:17

Well, there was that. You

6:17

talk about?

6:22

Oh, yes. The guy who did

6:22

it on a snowy day in the tracks

6:27

lead right back to his own back

6:27

door?

6:29

Yeah. He broke into the

6:29

neighbor's house and stole their

6:32

coin collection so he could use

6:32

it to go out and buy some drugs.

6:37

I mean, there's there's these

6:37

types of jewelry. But it was a

6:39

snowy day. And the guy just

6:39

walked out his back door, walked

6:43

across the yard, broke into the

6:43

neighbor's backyard and walked

6:45

back to his own backyard or

6:45

door. And there were tracks are

6:50

sure have figured that one out

6:50

right away, too. Yeah, that was

6:54

not a city police. That was not

6:54

a really desperate, hard case to

7:01

crack.

7:03

Yeah.

7:05

Those are those kind of

7:05

idiots. And every time no matter

7:07

what you're doing,

7:09

yes, crime, crime can

7:09

happen anywhere, which is why we

7:12

got this thing. But I started

7:12

hearing it from people. Salty

7:18

knows a lot more people around

7:18

town. He works in town, I work

7:20

in a different town. I don't

7:20

know nearly as many people. But

7:26

I heard it from more than half a

7:26

dozen people in a single week.

7:29

Many of whom I really, I knew

7:29

there are townspeople, but I

7:33

really didn't know who they are.

7:33

So these were people who are

7:36

driving around casing the joint

7:36

they just noticed. And if

7:41

they're noticing that a whole

7:41

lot of people are noticing,

7:43

yeah, people actually

7:43

people, the Relay for Life, I

7:46

was on the committee. Hey, tell

7:46

us all about that security thing

7:50

you put in there like? No, I

7:50

thought we were gonna put your

7:56

plan the survivors parade not

7:56

talk about my home security

8:00

system. Anyway, long story short

8:00

home security system. I've just,

8:06

this is something people will

8:06

notice. Now a caveat, we live in

8:11

a town where there are no

8:11

professional home security

8:14

companies. We live in a county

8:14

where there are none. You can

8:18

get the national ones. And you

8:18

can get the ones that you know,

8:22

that are internet based. Sure.

8:22

But there are no we will come

8:27

and install these internet or

8:27

the security system in our

8:31

county. And again, we live in a

8:31

county that is doesn't have a

8:37

stoplight that changes color.

8:39

We have more deer than people.

8:40

We do we have a lot more

8:40

here than people.

8:42

Yeah. The point is,

8:42

though, that I actually was

8:48

like, yeah, whatever, if you

8:48

want to get one, I had no

8:51

confidence that it would make

8:51

any difference in our lives at

8:54

all. But I was amazed at how

8:54

many people had noticed. And if

9:00

people are noticing, that means

9:00

it's going to be a deterrent.

9:04

Because these days, you know, if

9:04

that little red lights on the

9:07

camera, the probability is high

9:07

that there are images going up

9:10

somewhere on the cloud. And

9:10

people are going to be noticed

9:15

if they're messing with stuff,

9:16

that's exactly how it works, you know? Yeah, like I come in, go into my house and

9:18

steal the steel. The thing is,

9:22

yeah, but it's it's uploading it

9:22

onto the cloud storage. So

9:25

that's not gonna help.

9:27

Yeah. So we just got a

9:27

picture of you and we can come

9:29

track it down.

9:31

Okay, so this is just an

9:31

observation of people do notice

9:36

this stuff. So what are some

9:36

things you could do? That would

9:43

help you with your home

9:43

security, that don't require

9:49

power, and the people will not

9:49

notice because you don't

9:52

necessarily want people noticing

9:52

your home security stuff. This

9:55

is not necessarily the goal is

9:55

Oh, yeah, they've got security.

9:59

It must have Something steel.

9:59

You know, that's not necessarily

10:03

the goal. You don't

10:04

want to look like a soft

10:04

target either, though, no.

10:08

Certainly, backyard fence

10:08

would provide a small, very

10:14

negligible amount of security,

10:14

it would keep people from

10:17

wandering in. But, you know,

10:17

backyard fences, I don't care

10:22

what kind they are. They're easy

10:22

to get over.

10:25

Frankly, I think the most

10:25

important value of a backyard

10:28

fence is it's just you may have

10:28

a dog. Right. And dogs are much

10:32

bigger determined than a little

10:32

backyard fences.

10:37

And speaking of dogs be

10:37

clear I see this this out there

10:41

all the time. People saying

10:41

guard dog watchdog using them

10:43

like they're in an interchangeable term. They're not. guard dogs are the big you

10:45

know, German Shepherd,

10:48

Rottweiler. big, powerful. legal

10:48

right there. Yeah. Driving

10:54

within a few feet of him. He was

10:54

just right there. I'd say within

11:01

30 feet of him. beautiful bird.

11:01

We were shooting pictures of

11:06

Eagles all morning, all

11:06

afternoon long

11:08

that our first Eagle of the day, but

11:10

this is not our first.

11:10

This is our closest equals. Now

11:13

mine. Oh, and it got both.

11:17

Yeah, got both.

11:19

You know, it's one of

11:19

those deals where a little bitty

11:24

Chihuahua can be a great

11:24

watchdog totally useless as a

11:30

guard dog. But a fantastic

11:30

watchdog. yappy little ankle

11:37

biters can be great watchdogs as

11:37

long as they make a lot of

11:40

noise.

11:40

Yeah, and we say watchdog

11:40

we don't mean the golden

11:43

retriever, who's gonna watch him

11:43

come in and wag his tail. Or

11:46

somebody who's gonna at least

11:46

make noise. Did you know

11:49

Cardinals are good, there were

11:49

like six or

11:51

seven male Cardinals all

11:51

hanging out. She must be a

11:54

hottie. She must be the bomb.

11:54

There's a whole we're driving.

12:00

And there's a whole flock of

12:00

male Cardinals, which I

12:04

don't generally associate

12:06

recall seeing before,

12:06

that's kind of cool. Anyway, I

12:10

guess the Cardinals are gonna

12:10

have a good year, not that the

12:14

football Cardinals because my

12:14

beers just bounce them out of

12:17

the playoffs. But that's what

12:17

I'm pressing right along.

12:23

The Happy dogs will

12:23

dissuade people, often who want

12:28

to break in and take stuff. I

12:28

have read from writings

12:34

purportedly by people who do

12:34

break into houses for a living.

12:38

But they don't want to mess with

12:38

dogs. They don't care if it's a

12:40

little handful of dogs they

12:40

could kick into next week. They

12:43

don't want to mess with dogs.

12:43

They don't want the noise. They

12:47

don't want the hassle.

12:47

Certainly, if it's a bigger dog,

12:49

they don't want the bitten. So

12:49

even a small dog can be a fairly

12:55

big term. Besides saying you

12:55

have a dog may well be with.

13:00

And then the first

13:00

version of this podcast. This is

13:02

actually the second version of this podcast. Not that it matters. The battery died on us.

13:04

We're making any big change to

13:09

it. The battery died on us while

13:09

we're recording it. She talked

13:12

about peacocks. Oops.

13:15

peacocks are something

13:15

that a lot of people out here in

13:19

the country. Oh, not a lot, but

13:19

a few. Some will. They'll buy a

13:22

couple of peacocks and put them

13:22

out there with their domestic

13:26

fowl. Because if somebody and by

13:26

somebody I generally mean a

13:31

coyote or a hawk or something

13:31

else that's going to eat fowl.

13:36

Anything starts to mess around

13:36

that the peafowl consider a

13:40

threat. No, it's not like

13:40

they're gonna go out and kick

13:44

its tail, but they're gonna

13:44

start screaming. They're going

13:48

to literally cry for help

13:48

because if you've ever heard a

13:51

peacock's distress call, it

13:51

sounds a lot like it's calling

13:56

for help. And people will put a

13:56

peacock or two out there with

13:59

their fowl. Anytime the peacock

13:59

start going off at night, they

14:03

know to let the dog out and turn

14:03

on the lights and see what's up.

14:07

So they don't lose too many

14:07

chickens to the foxes or

14:09

whatever because the beef fowl

14:09

are a lot better at alarming

14:14

than the other domestic

14:14

follower. And they're pretty. So

14:18

bonus.

14:20

A slight diversion.

14:20

You're driving around the

14:22

country and you're driving by

14:22

and you see a bunch of sheep or

14:25

goats and you see one llama out

14:25

there. There's a reason the

14:31

llama is out there not just

14:31

because people like llamas,

14:34

it will kick things tail.

14:36

It is a guard llama and

14:36

we're not kidding. It's not a

14:39

watch llama. It's a guard while

14:39

suckers

14:42

will take out Coyote. Oh,

14:42

they

14:44

hate coyotes. They will

14:44

take the biggest threat to

14:47

protect. Llamas are some of the

14:47

sweetest animals in the world up

14:52

until that time when they're

14:52

not. And they're very, very very

14:57

dexterous and they Got a kick,

14:57

literally like a mule.

15:03

I have seen videos of one

15:03

that grabbed a coyote and just

15:08

shook it said until the coyotes

15:08

back was broken and then tossed

15:11

it into the bushes. We'll look

15:11

to the next one. So people know

15:14

that and don't mess with those

15:14

either.

15:18

Okay, now we are not

15:18

recommending that you go out and

15:21

get a watch guard Llama

15:23

Llama? Yes.

15:25

We're not recommending

15:25

that you suburbanites out there

15:30

were people of any type.

15:32

The idea is that an

15:32

animal that alarms can be about

15:39

as useful as an animal that

15:39

actively defends your stuff. It

15:45

serves as a very large

15:45

deterrent. And it scares off a

15:49

lot of trouble you might

15:49

otherwise have and it alarms you

15:54

that you need to go and watch

15:54

for things. So you don't

15:57

necessarily have to think big

15:57

bitey things that you may or may

16:01

not want in your apartment or

16:01

something like that.

16:06

Now one big advantage the

16:06

yappy little ankle biters have

16:09

as a dog over guard dog is they

16:09

eat a lot less a 50 gallon. 50

16:14

Gallon 50 pound bag of dog food

16:14

goes a lot farther with the

16:18

shihtzu then it will with a

16:18

golden which are useless except

16:25

to pet their heads. I'm not sure

16:25

anyone that what's your tennis

16:34

ball hunting? golden retriever

16:34

like exactly what you want.

16:39

Okay. All right. Anyway.

16:42

I even know some people

16:42

who put up beware of the dog

16:44

signs when they don't have a

16:44

dog. Because they are of the

16:47

belief which I think is not

16:47

entirely unjustified that it

16:50

will discourage some people from

16:50

trying to come in and mess with

16:53

their stuff when they're not there.

16:54

Or even when that dog is

16:54

a golden retriever. You know it

16:58

does does serve a purpose though

16:58

you might trip over one of them

17:01

in the dark, just laying there

17:01

sleeping. But anyway, I like

17:06

goldfish. I'm not down on Golden

17:06

Retrievers I just not really

17:09

what you would call a practical

17:09

service.

17:13

They're just not.

17:15

If you got a tennis ball

17:15

here, you're in business, you're

17:19

their friend. Anyway, long story

17:19

short, pressing right along

17:24

doors, doors, doors, one of the

17:24

things you can do. Or if you're

17:31

wanting to do something to

17:31

harden your house a little bit,

17:33

the best thing you can do, the

17:33

single best thing you can do is

17:36

to replace your doors, your

17:36

entry doors with, it's not just

17:41

about the door, a solid core

17:41

door, it's about the frame, a

17:46

really difficult or metal frame.

17:46

To hold that to really anchor

17:51

that door in will make that door

17:51

a lot more

17:56

robust, and the hardware

17:56

that holds the door shut, so you

17:59

can't just kick through it.

18:00

Right. And we've got one

18:00

of those things on the cabin. We

18:04

bought one and just kind of as

18:04

experiment It was a heavy chain

18:08

and has a loop that goes around

18:08

the door handle. But this isn't

18:12

one of those little hotel room

18:12

chain things. This is a real

18:16

actual heavy duty chain that

18:16

bolts into a plate that runs up

18:21

and down the side of the side of

18:21

the doorframe and it has to be

18:26

big, deep set hard bolts that

18:26

run deep into the doorframe and

18:33

a full full sized person can

18:33

kick it, kick it and kick it and

18:38

it will not let go it's really a

18:38

thing.

18:40

They would probably kick

18:40

the hinges off the backside of

18:43

that door, which would be quite

18:43

the trick before that cheap

18:47

little door handle would give

18:47

way

18:49

wasn't that cheap.

18:51

The handle itself is

18:51

cheap. The cheapest kind of

18:55

outside door handle. It's just a

18:55

little

18:57

right. Okay, that is all

18:57

in cabin. But the anti kick open

19:02

mechanism was not cheap.

19:04

No, but it is quite

19:04

robust. And the angle you would

19:08

you would be pulling on it if

19:08

somebody was kicking on the door

19:11

would make it extremely hard to

19:11

break that door handle and break

19:13

in that way.

19:14

Right now. It's kind of

19:14

there's only to a point because

19:20

that has a big glass window to

19:20

the door does so I mean, we're

19:23

not trying to we're not trying

19:23

to stop a gorilla from getting

19:31

through the door.

19:32

No, but if I often sleep

19:32

at the cabin by myself and it's

19:35

a rather isolated spot and

19:35

there's no lights or anything

19:38

else. And should somebody try

19:38

and come in that door when I'm

19:43

in there at night. I want to

19:43

know what's happening and have

19:47

time to react.

19:48

In other words, say hello

19:48

to get through the door. They

19:52

step in and it's like that Gunny

19:52

commercial. You pick the wrong

19:57

house because She's gonna be

19:57

there saying hello with Mr.

20:02

Glock in her hand.

20:03

Yeah, I, I don't actually

20:03

think anybody's going to mess

20:06

with me there. But it's a very

20:06

flimsy door and it's very

20:09

isolated. So we put something on

20:09

it to give me a little warning,

20:14

give me time to wake up and

20:14

figure out what's going on. If

20:16

somebody does decide they want

20:16

to come in while I'm in there.

20:20

Now one thing you can do,

20:20

if you don't want to really go

20:22

too crazy under door is you can

20:22

buy brackets and nice big strong

20:27

bolts and get some two by fours

20:27

or two by sixes. In make, have

20:43

the makings on hand, so that you

20:43

can put brackets on all of your

20:47

doors and then put two before

20:47

bracing. on them, you don't have

20:53

to leave them on that 20 473 65.

20:53

But if you have the stuff on

20:57

hand to do it, if the situation

20:57

deteriorates on you, you can

21:03

always you just go back into

21:03

pull the stuff out of the out of

21:07

the storage area and bolt up

21:07

your doors. Same thing will work

21:11

for Windows,

21:12

as long as you put the

21:12

attachments out of reach. So you

21:17

can't just break the glass and

21:17

reach in and remove it.

21:21

Right Well yeah, but you

21:21

can you can easily put down

21:24

system that you couldn't just

21:24

reach into the grass

21:27

and it doesn't have to

21:27

make your house look ugly or

21:30

look like Fort Knox or keep you

21:30

from opening the windows or do

21:33

anything else.

21:33

And it doesn't even have to affect your daily life because you don't even have to

21:35

install that up until you need

21:38

it. But just have the trick is

21:38

to have it on hand and know how

21:42

to put it in if you need it.

21:42

Another great thing that that we

21:49

really like and have actually

21:49

done some of at our booth at the

21:54

place of the yard. We've we've

21:54

got some some entanglement type

21:59

of bushes,

22:01

berry bushes,

22:02

berry bushes, yeah. berry

22:02

bushes, they have a foreign talk

22:07

on them. You don't have to have

22:07

thorns on them. But ours have

22:10

thorns on them. As they grow

22:10

berries is food, food food in

22:13

the summer, you're always

22:13

growing, you're growing food,

22:15

you're printing stuff that you

22:15

can dry and have in the winter,

22:18

get your vitamin C's in the

22:18

winter if you need to. And it

22:22

gives you the ability to have

22:22

your car pooped on by with

22:26

purple poop for birds.

22:28

Actually, that doesn't

22:28

happen that much. No, because if

22:31

they start stealing too many of

22:31

my berries, I throw fruit

22:33

netting over him for one thing.

22:33

But I put them in frankly, on

22:37

the fence that divides us from

22:37

our neighbors, just because it

22:40

was a fence that was up and it

22:40

would support the berries. And

22:42

it would make it easy for me to

22:42

go pick the berries and I didn't

22:45

have to build furniture for

22:45

them. But man, I wouldn't eat it

22:50

completely lousy little excuse

22:50

for a fence. But it would be

22:54

such a total pain in the rear

22:54

end to try and get through even

22:57

the ones that don't have thorns.

22:57

Unless you've ever tried to get

23:01

through something like that on

23:01

foot, especially in the dark at

23:04

night. You probably don't

23:04

understand just how much of an

23:10

motivational it is to try and do

23:10

that if you don't have a really

23:13

strong reason to go there.

23:14

Now, one thing that you

23:14

could do with these these pages,

23:19

you can put these up. And you

23:19

can make them look realize

23:21

there's no reason they can't

23:21

look nice, keep them trimmed

23:23

and, but like roses, you can put

23:23

roses right up underneath your

23:28

rose bush and roll your

23:30

windows or Holly. It's a

23:30

beautiful plant. It attracts

23:33

birds, it makes nice shelter for

23:33

him in the winter.

23:36

And your neighborhoods.

23:36

If you have one of those

23:39

neighborhood associations, don't

23:39

just gonna complain because they

23:41

meet the standards of the

23:41

neighborhood association.

23:43

We just like your place

23:43

to look nice. It still looks

23:47

nice, and nobody's gonna want to

23:47

stand in it and get get through

23:50

there. Where I grew up my

23:50

neighbors notice somebody

23:54

hanging around outside, it was

23:54

out in the country, they ran a

23:58

dairy farm. But still, they

23:58

noticed somebody hanging out

24:01

outside in the yard one night

24:01

and made them feel less than

24:06

completely comfortable. So she

24:06

just went out, planted a bunch

24:09

of rose bushes under the windows

24:09

and wasn't anybody out hanging

24:12

out right under the windows

24:12

after that. Just no fun to do.

24:17

An average person who's going to

24:17

try and break into your house is

24:20

not looking for awards for

24:20

getting through the most

24:24

difficult barriers. They're

24:24

looking for easy targets often.

24:31

Yes. Another thing that

24:31

you can do is if you really can,

24:37

convinced that you want to have

24:37

some Home Security safely is you

24:43

can put in blackout curtains, or

24:43

at least stocked blackout

24:48

curtains. Because there are

24:48

times when you don't want to be

24:53

the only house in the

24:53

neighborhood with lights on.

24:57

There's another Eagle right up there.

24:58

Yep, I see him

25:01

right a little cemetery

25:01

that always forgets there.

25:06

There's a little bitty tiny

25:06

cemetery like eight graves must

25:08

have been a primary cemetery

25:08

family cemetery. And there's

25:11

another one right on the other side of the road that is a little more than that. mibbit a

25:13

church there one time. I know

25:16

people there was probably a

25:16

church that looks like might

25:19

have been a church scrapyard.

25:19

I've never seen a sign there.

25:23

Anywho I know you don't care,

25:23

but we're driving down the road.

25:25

And there's a there's, there's

25:25

things to see there's debtors

25:27

all over the place. Okay. That's

25:27

pretty much what I wanted to say

25:31

about the subject. So

25:32

lots of things you can do

25:32

without disturbing the look of

25:36

your house. Useful for day to

25:36

day useful if there's a larger

25:40

problem. Doesn't, you know, take

25:40

a crazy amount of investment.

25:49

pretty effective. Now, this

25:51

is the takeaway here

25:51

isn't dogs isn't rosebushes and

25:57

it isn't. Barring your doorway,

25:57

stay not peacocks. And certainly

26:02

not peacocks. Unless you do live

26:02

in the country. They're kind of

26:04

cool looking anyway, the

26:04

takeaway is, just think of

26:10

things now. Think of things now

26:10

that you can do, that are fairly

26:17

non invasive, that are something

26:17

nobody else would notice. And

26:22

you know, stuff like, you know,

26:22

preparing door blocks and stuff

26:26

like that. If you have a spouse

26:26

that is absolutely adamant that

26:31

you're not going to mess up the

26:31

house with your prepping stuff.

26:33

You don't have to you just take

26:33

the stuff, you get it, you put

26:37

it in the garage, or wherever

26:37

you store your stuff. And you

26:39

forget about it. Well, she needs to know

26:41

you don't forget about it, you remember where the heck you put it. That might be an

26:42

issue once you've got a lot of

26:46

prepping stuff.

26:48

Well,

26:50

maybe we admit,

26:54

this is not a denial,

26:55

but you don't have to

26:55

mess with it until you need it.

26:58

But then you got it. And you

26:58

don't have to be one of those

27:02

people go Oh, but they're sold

27:02

out of X, Y and Z. And I

27:05

desperately need x, y and z. So

27:05

you don't you got it right

27:09

there. And it was a couple of

27:09

brackets. It wasn't, you know,

27:12

your paycheck.

27:14

One of the things that

27:14

spice and I always harped on and

27:17

we have a podcast on it or two,

27:17

we have stories on three b y or

27:22

two is one of the one golf I

27:22

think most preppers should have

27:28

it that don't is the whole you

27:28

know, every time you hear people

27:33

on the prepping farmers and

27:33

stuff like that, what's the last

27:36

thing you have one last trip to

27:36

the store? What are you going to

27:39

pick up now, I'm not going not

27:39

going. My goal is to not ever

27:45

need to go to the store for that

27:45

one last trip. Because that one

27:52

last trip puts you out amongst

27:52

the chaos. And that's the last

27:56

place you want to be is in a

27:56

store with panicky people

28:01

and driving around on streets

28:02

drive around the streets

28:02

with panicky people know you

28:07

want to be home by bad or you

28:07

want to if you're bugging out,

28:09

you want to be out of dodge by

28:09

them. And for those of us who

28:13

actually have been to Dodge

28:13

City, we know that getting out

28:18

of dodge is easy. But then

28:18

you're in Kansas and it lasts

28:23

for ever. Darcy's way over

28:23

there. I mean, it's way over

28:32

there.

28:34

It is middle of

28:35

middle of nowhere. So

28:35

getting out of dodge isn't that

28:37

hard, but getting to where you

28:37

want to run dodge.

28:42

It's gonna take a while

28:42

to pay what you need. All right,

28:45

that's what we have

28:45

today. Thank you. Bye bye.
