Of interest to your Prepping ping list?
Based on todays stories, dumping ammo from your shotgun and puking from fear of such be included.
One more....
I am from the government and I’m here to help.................
I appreciate the tips. Thanks for posting.
22. I hope you don’t have a gun.
It took a while for my wife to thoroughly understand this.
23. I look at your local newspaper and see if you are a registered gun owner.
Worth reading.
Half of it sounds like lil Tradymark wrote it.
Leave a large dog chewtoy outside by the front door. Keep foundation plantings trimmed low to eliminate cover for someone peering in or breaking in. Get in some “range time” in your backyard fairly frequently if your jurisdiction allows it, mine does, word gets out if there are four or five people out firing weapons in rhe neighborhood every weekend.
Yes. A lot of people evidently have a “Mary Sunshine” attitude about Facebook. - My friend’s daughter-in-law used to post photos of her decorating projects (of her house) on Facebook; also used to always tell what time they were leaving and what time returning every time they went anywhere. - One day, they came home to find they’d been cleaned out of their valuable household items. - I assume she learned her lesson.
Nice pic. I have an 870 lumen Fenix light that makes that look like a candle. Any intruder in my home at night will die blind.
1) That's the biggest knife I've ever seen.
2) I didn't know soldering irons were that hot.
3) I've never dug a BBQ pit before.
4) Yes, I remember that scene from Brave Heart.
5) My bank routing number is xxx xxxxx xx, honest.
... ;^)

It'll be an enlightening experience for the vermin.
4. Yes, I really do look for newspapers piled up on the driveway. And I might leave a pizza flyer in your front door to see how long it takes you to remove it..
I usually leave them outside when i am home, cause I want someone to think I am away, the second they break into my house is the second they lose their head and not in a metaphorical way...
5. If it snows while you’re out of town, get a neighbor to create car and foot tracks into the house. Virgin drifts in the driveway are a dead giveaway.
Same as above
9. I always knock first. If you answer, I’ll ask for directions somewhere or offer to clean your gutters. (Don’t take me up on it.)
I will let them knock but will not answer and I will watch them through the blinds to see what they do.
18. I love looking in your windows. I’m looking for signs that you’re home, and for flat screen TVs or gaming systems I’d like. I’ll drive or walk through your neighborhood at night, before you close the blinds, just to pick my targets.
I leave my blinds closed at all times
19. Avoid announcing your vacation on your Facebook page. It’s easier than you think to look up your address.
It is fun to create a public profile and tell everyone about your month long trip to Japan when you are out on medical leave for a hernia repair and have nothing to do but wait with my .45 while I rest on my couch. Also Craiglist is fun to post at too.
20. To you, leaving that window open just a crack during the day is a way to let in a little fresh air. To me, it’s an invitation.
My window has a spring loaded “mouse trap” you try to open it a little more and it will span back with a 10,000 lb screen with retractable steel blade, hope you like using a prosthesis.
21. If you don’t answer when I knock, I try the door. Occasionally, I hit the jackpot and walk right in.
And come face to face with my .45, good luck...
Put your car keys beside your bed at night.
If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car.
Go ahead and stake your life on a key fob. I'm grabbing the Glock and a spare mag. We'll see who survives. As for my car keys...they're staying in my pants pocket.
Or a pair or three .357 revolvers—less chance of jamming ;^)
