I’m fair glad I ran across your channel 😃 I’m recently widowed. June 7th of this year to be exact 😢 I’m having a hard time at adjusting to being alone and sometimes afraid 🥺 My Jack Russell barks at every little sound since my husband passed. It makes me crazy and sometimes, well…every night to be honest??? I’m losing sleep because he does it at 2, 3, 4 & 5 a.m.🥶😩 He’s been on hyper protective mode for the last few months??? It just makes me a little paranoid and then my head runs wondering how to protect myself 🤷♀️ I’m going to be 62 in November and also suffer from a progressive bone disease so my defense mechanism isn’t like it used to be🤦♀️ Thanks for listening ☺️and I’m super glad I ran across your channel 😉👍 Thank you for listening.
Walk with purpose. Don't dither or look indecisive. If you see someone you don't like the feel of, go back in the store. Don't pretend you don't see someone. Look long enough to let them know they've been noticed. Have a "last in/first out rule" for the car so someone is always looking out. If you walk in a group, have preset angles of observation so all directions are observed. Don't threaten anyone with a weapon. If a weapon HAS to come out you're using it right then and there. Don't be afraid to lose a few groceries. If your "last in" person says go now, don't argue, get in the car and leave immediately. Talk about plans and techniques you use so everyone is on the same page. If you show confusion you're vulnerable.
All good points. It’s good to have pre set lines, that when crossed, you’ve already decided to take action. Bad things happen fast, and you can’t waste time deciding what to do, when they happen to you.
Good tips. I have a few to share. Be careful around strangers asking questions. I don't give people my last name, the neighborhood I live in, or what I do for a living. Information is given on a need to know basis. Additionally, I don't answer the door to strangers or delivery men. If someone has a pkg for me, they can leave it outside, and I'll retrieve it once they leave. When someone is doing work for me I'm never in my home alone with them. Also I get their name, a picture of their badge or Driver's License, and vehicle with license plate. I log that into a book that is secured. That last idea came from an FBI friend.
Great tips! Thank you for sharing them. I touched on the first one in my first video in this series. People are too willing to give strangers information.
You probably don't trust identity badges that can be printed by anyone and check any id by a phone number you find rather than supplied by the visitor.
Also, if you attend a church where they have a "joys and sorrows" sharing session during the service, or even during weekly Bible study, be careful what you share about your situation or others' situation. I learned that the hard way when my parents passed away. There was a guy at my church who had a reputation as a nice guy. To make a long story short, he wasn't. I saw a side of him others did not. He tried to take advantage of me and my family by trying to make a deal behind my back regarding some property my parents owned under the guise of "helping" me. Except I didn't know that this was going on until he accidentally let it slip that he was actually acting on behalf of another person that didn't even live in the same state. Believe it or not, there were people in that church who DEFENDED his actions. I told them point-blank, if he did it to me, he will do it to others, and this is a church with a lot of people who are up there in age. Is this really something you all want to have in your congregation? Well, well, well, they didn't really know the whole story. No, you didn't. But you defended him to me regardless. I'm going to ask you again, do you really want this kind of thing in your congregation? Well, no . . . Well, that's exactly what you have. You have a Vulture among you. If you don't want to believe me, if you'd rather support him over me, then be my guest. As for me, I am out of here.
@@cindynimeskern7994 Exactly. But people don't want to acknowledge that. He was fairly new to the congregation; even I didn't know him all that well and I'd say I knew him better than any of the other people because I knew him from outside the church. It wasn't until I started going out with him that I started seeing things others did not because he kept those things well hid and nobody wanted to believe me. So I quit going out with him. Then, a few months later, that's when he started pestering me--in public, at coffee hour--about my parents' property. NO ONE, NOT NO ONE, said "Hey Bub, she's told you over and over that the property is not for sale, that this is highly inappropriate." Not one person sitting at the same table and listening spoke up in my defense. But oh, they were so quick to defend him when they didn't know about the back-hand deal he was trying to arrange. When I pointed that out, then these same people were going oh, oh, oh, well, I didn't know that that was going on. Doesn't matter. You jumped in not knowing the full story, you stood by and defended him, not me, at a time when I most needed your support. I know now where I stand and where you stand. He passed away a couple of years later still a respected member of the congregation. I didn't go to the funeral.
All good info. As a retired police officer I know most of this stuff, but it’s good to be reminded of these things. Complacency is our worst enemy, so it’s good to be reminded of this personal safety info. I’m no longer the young stud I once was; those of us who are older and grayer (or bald) need to hear and remember this stuff. Keep putting out the good info and doing the good job.
Thank you for your videos, I happened to stumble upon it, i subscribed and will be sharing with others. I have never seen anything like this before for us older folks
Great video buddy...I'm glad i live off grid far away from crowded area's and i have more than enough to defend myself with😉 My dad always told me keep distance to escape when you are in a traffic jam and look in the mirror for the sleeping idiots behind you. The danger is always coming where you not expect it. Even in a restaurant i try always to have the best possible overview i can get close to an exit. Cheers!
Thank you. I moved my family to a very remote area about 8 years ago. We still have a lot of tourism out here during the summer, and it seems like a disproportionate amount of Meth issues. Life requires diligence. Thank you for your thoughtful comment! There’s a lot of wisdom in these comments! Cheers!
@@SilverSurvival Very good choice to move to a remote area mate. I have to worry myself more about a brown bear or an angry moose than getting robbed 😅, but even here i have a "grab" bag with all i need in emergency situations. Ammo, knife, radio, com radio's, rope, compass, you name it. Crazy world we're living in. Like your vids, thoughts and you personality 👍 Always be at least one step ahead buddy!! Cheers!
@@rapalaron6348It’s nice chatting with like minded folks! I keep s get home bag in my car, a GO bag to bug out to my camp, and keep a haversack for a really quick run out the door to deal with predators that the dogs didn’t stop. It’s like being a modern day minuteman. Oh, yeah, and all of the packs have a HAM Radio in them. Cheers!
Thank you for your content. I' 8:42 m trying to get in a new habit of checking my tires when I walk to and away from my vehichle. I carry a gooloo (battery charger) and airmoto (tire inflater)😢pre charged, at all times so I'm not waiting and depending on the mercy of others.
Definitely good tips. I keep a battery booster that also includes a mini compressor in my car. It’s saved me a cold dark wait before! Thanks for watching and sharing your tip!
Just found this site. Vietnam Vet, bronze star, retired LEO. I"m lucky because I am still in good health and mobile. You might have already covered it but numbers are important. Move with 3 to 5 people and it's important to agree on your groups plan of movement and threat response in advance. You don't require a leader if the group agrees to it's collective action ahead of time. Too many people can be just a crowd with different plans pf action. And most important, you fight like you train, muscle memory is important at any age. Thanks for the site.
As I was reading your comment I found myself thinking “CONTACT FRONT!” And “GET ON LINE”. You make a very valid point. If you can move as a group, nobody’s likely to mess with you. Thank you for your service, and thank you for watching.
Direct deposit is a good thing to have for receiving checks. Social Security now sends it at different times but many pension plans usually send at the same time but also offer direct deposit. Not sharing when payday is would be another way to reduce being a victim.
New subscriber; I'd like to see what an older person can do physically to an attacker if we're caught unaware. I know the knee into groin, but what if they block it, or they're behind you? Thank you for the video ☺️!
Thanks for the subscription. I’ll be working through an entire personal and family safety series. That will certainly include physical altercation defense. My primary focus is the unique challenges of the older generations. I’m sure you’ll find value!
Be careful what you share in church about things going on in your life or in others' lives. You don't know who is listening and what they might do with the information. That "nice guy" sitting next to you might be a Vulture in disguise. Learned that the hard way when my parents passed away.

@cherriaydelotte8327 please change your screen name and remove your last name. No one should know you're widowed. That attracts predators. Be safe.
One GOOD habit saved my life.... ALWAYS KEEP YOUR HOUSE DOORS LOCKED 🔐
Due diligence and due care will definitely help keep you safe!
