WEBVTT
00:00:00.901 --> 00:00:04.730
Power and peace to all of my good people out there.
00:00:04.730 --> 00:00:08.689
Welcome to another session with Shea.
00:00:08.689 --> 00:00:32.107
This session is the next part I'm calling get yourself right.
00:00:32.107 --> 00:00:47.151
Previous sessions were we spoke about supplies and what you need them for and if you can't get this, what you might can do with that, that type thing.
00:00:47.151 --> 00:00:58.810
And in the next session we're going to talk about, you know, those different types of plans, those scenarios, scenario based.
00:00:58.810 --> 00:01:01.768
If A or B happens, what should you do?
00:01:01.768 --> 00:01:04.950
But that's the other sessions.
00:01:04.950 --> 00:01:17.740
This particular session we're talking about the mindset, of going about getting your mind right for the things that may or may not happen.
00:01:17.781 --> 00:01:30.700
But it's good to just know in your mind what you need to start thinking about and start in your mind what you need to start thinking about and start, you know, adjusting your reality to be.
00:01:30.700 --> 00:01:41.387
The thing that I'm going to read from today is titled Survival Tips and Tricks from an Old Army Vet.
00:01:41.387 --> 00:01:59.825
Now, I'm not going to read it verbatim because, well, word for for word, because it's just like a lot of extra military terms and verbiage that I won't bore all of you with, but, um, a lot of the things that are spoken about here are very, um, important and could just be.
00:01:59.825 --> 00:02:05.552
You know survival tips and tricks, as the uh the title suggests.
00:02:05.552 --> 00:02:14.319
So if I sound like I'm jumping around a bit, please grant me grace for that, because I'm trying to spare you the military mumbo jumbo, as it were.
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:19.346
Uh, anywho, uh, embrace reality.
00:02:20.747 --> 00:02:22.289
You could face danger at any time.
00:02:22.289 --> 00:02:28.216
Big facts Some places are much safer than others, but nowhere is completely safe.
00:02:28.216 --> 00:02:33.050
Lots of people don't really grasp this, which is understandable.
00:02:33.050 --> 00:02:42.094
If you're stuck outdoors in a blizzard or shopping in town when the zombie apocalypse strikes, it's easy to recognize the risks.
00:02:42.094 --> 00:02:45.887
But what about when you're relaxing at home?
00:02:45.887 --> 00:02:48.281
It's natural to be less prepared.
00:02:48.281 --> 00:02:54.493
Guess what a lot more people are injured in accidents at home than in blizzards.
00:02:54.493 --> 00:03:04.085
When you're outdoors, you should always know where your first aid kit is stashed in your gear, so you can get to it quickly in an emergency.
00:03:04.085 --> 00:03:06.860
Exactly the same applies at home.
00:03:06.860 --> 00:03:12.691
You probably won't have an emergency there, but if you do, you need to be ready.
00:03:12.691 --> 00:03:15.562
That's a whole true statement too.
00:03:15.562 --> 00:03:24.764
You can have as many first aid kits in your home or survival supplies, but when the shit hits the fan and you don't know where none of that shit is at.
00:03:24.764 --> 00:03:25.406
It's not.
00:03:25.406 --> 00:03:32.802
It's going to delay the process of you getting yourself together if you have to take a moment to search for shit.
00:03:32.802 --> 00:03:44.233
Trust, if we've ever been looking for something that we know we have and we can't find it in emergency situation, we're trying to alleviate those feelings by just knowing where your shit is at.
00:03:44.272 --> 00:03:48.423
When it's time to use your shit, be fit to survive.
00:03:48.423 --> 00:03:53.762
If you're out of shape, survival is going to be more difficult in any situation.
00:03:53.762 --> 00:04:01.163
You'll struggle to move fast when necessary or to keep going long enough to escape a danger in your area.
00:04:01.163 --> 00:04:07.721
Poor fitness makes you more vulnerable to infections and to the effects of the cold.
00:04:07.721 --> 00:04:15.806
If you go into a survival situation at a disadvantage, your chances of coming out on the other end instantly go way down.
00:04:15.806 --> 00:04:22.786
You don't need to put yourself through a special forces fitness program, but make an effort to keep in condition.
00:04:22.786 --> 00:04:28.144
If you need something from a neighborhood store, walk there instead of taking the car.
00:04:28.144 --> 00:04:35.225
Walk the dog yourself instead of getting the kids to do it, and if they insist on doing it, go with them.
00:04:35.225 --> 00:04:42.084
Just staying active will get you most of the way to where you need to be, and that's true too.
00:04:42.084 --> 00:04:49.764
I mean, we're all trying to be better day in and day out, but it's the the small things we know we can accomplish.
00:04:49.764 --> 00:04:56.122
To just at least get moving is a always a great victory, I think.
00:04:56.182 --> 00:04:59.225
Anyway, uh, carry the basics.
00:04:59.225 --> 00:05:05.035
There's a growing, growing trend for everyday carry or EDC bags.
00:05:05.035 --> 00:05:08.088
That's Echo, delta, charlie, edc.
00:05:08.088 --> 00:05:14.793
These are loaded with stuff that will help you get you through any day today, emergencies.
00:05:14.793 --> 00:05:17.889
If you feel like carrying one, that's great.
00:05:17.889 --> 00:05:21.762
But even if you don't, there's a bare minimum you should still.
00:05:21.762 --> 00:05:24.045
You should have with you at all times.
00:05:24.045 --> 00:05:25.245
There's a bare minimum you should still.
00:05:25.245 --> 00:05:26.005
You should have with you at all times.
00:05:26.026 --> 00:05:30.610
These are, these are some sort of cutting edge, a way to start a fire and a light source.
00:05:30.610 --> 00:05:49.023
The best way to make sure you always have them with you is to put them on your key ring, which means they need to be small, but that's easy enough to do.
00:05:49.023 --> 00:05:51.309
The cutting edge can be be a small folding knife, if that's legal where you live.
00:05:51.309 --> 00:05:52.132
Again, if that's legal where you live.
00:05:52.132 --> 00:05:59.408
But if it isn't, you can find a whole range of compact survival tools that include an edge but don't count as knives.
00:05:59.408 --> 00:06:06.220
Add a small butane lighter and a small led flashlight and the basics are covered.
00:06:08.625 --> 00:06:13.937
The more complicated your basic survival gear, the more likely it is to go wrong.
00:06:13.937 --> 00:06:23.273
Good quality, simple items might have fewer features, but you can rely on the ones that they do have working when you need them.
00:06:23.273 --> 00:06:27.560
I have a survival tool on my key ring.
00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:37.305
It is a tiny piece of bent titanium that fits over a key, but it includes a bottle opener, a cutting edge and several screwdrivers.
00:06:37.305 --> 00:06:41.012
It has no moving parts, so it will never go wrong.
00:06:41.012 --> 00:06:43.865
I have one of those too, loki Haki.
00:06:43.865 --> 00:06:46.632
The same goes for your other stuff.
00:06:46.632 --> 00:06:50.928
A simple flashlight powered by one AA cell is all you need.
00:06:50.928 --> 00:06:56.449
You can always find double A's, but you might not be able to recharge a lithium battery.
00:06:56.449 --> 00:07:03.992
Standard butane cigarette lighters are cheap and light enough that you can carry a couple of them, and they are reliable.
00:07:06.062 --> 00:07:06.964
The little things right.
00:07:06.964 --> 00:07:09.172
Be alert.
00:07:09.172 --> 00:07:11.096
This one here is so.
00:07:11.096 --> 00:07:13.846
These next couple of ones are very important to me anyway.
00:07:13.846 --> 00:07:22.115
I think the more time you have to react to a problem, the better To give yourself the maximum possible warning.
00:07:22.476 --> 00:07:25.142
Maintain your situational awareness.
00:07:25.142 --> 00:07:28.713
Pay attention to what's happening around you.
00:07:28.713 --> 00:07:33.916
If you're in a strange city, don't walk around with your AirPods plugged in.
00:07:33.916 --> 00:07:45.620
Keep your eyes and ears open If something seems to be happening near you, pay attention and make a mental note of anyone who starts to look familiar.
00:07:45.620 --> 00:07:47.651
They could be following you.
00:07:47.651 --> 00:07:54.266
They could be following you.
00:07:54.266 --> 00:07:59.865
Good situational awareness will let you avoid a lot of problems altogether so that you can start reacting to others in time to really improve your odds of surviving.
00:07:59.865 --> 00:08:08.033
So the whole situational awareness thing is such a big, big deal.
00:08:09.596 --> 00:08:23.920
I people watch when I go out, which don't judge me, but people watching is very interesting because you see how oblivious people can be to the most basic of things.
00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:31.398
People will be walking in the street and not know that the light is against them and they'll just keep walking.
00:08:31.398 --> 00:08:39.065
And, granted, you know, drivers are supposed to be aware at all times and if people are in the crosswalk they're supposed to let the people walk.
00:08:39.065 --> 00:08:46.591
But again, if you're relying on someone else to pay attention for you, you've already lost the battle right there.
00:08:46.591 --> 00:08:50.609
So basic, simple things of just being aware of your surroundings.
00:08:50.609 --> 00:09:09.085
So basic, simple things of just being aware of your surroundings, like if you see a whole crowd of people and maybe you don't understand why they're in that crowd, maybe not, maybe be more aware of what's going on or separate yourself from the situation altogether.
00:09:13.226 --> 00:09:17.724
Being aware of your situation and your surroundings is a high key gem.
00:09:17.724 --> 00:09:20.748
Know your environment.
00:09:20.748 --> 00:09:25.857
Situational awareness will keep you updated on everything, close enough to hear and see.
00:09:25.857 --> 00:09:30.347
But that gives you quite a small bubble.
00:09:30.347 --> 00:09:35.317
Expand it by getting to know the place you're in Before you travel somewhere.
00:09:35.317 --> 00:09:36.339
Do some research.
00:09:36.339 --> 00:09:41.349
Read local news, headlines and reviews by others.
00:09:41.349 --> 00:09:47.178
Make a mental note of any areas that are best avoided, but also remember places that might be useful to you.
00:09:47.178 --> 00:09:56.032
If you're staying in a hotel, find out where the nearest police station, hospital and bank are.
00:09:56.032 --> 00:09:57.855
Check their opening hours.
00:09:57.855 --> 00:09:58.777
Locate a taxi.
00:09:58.777 --> 00:10:00.740
Locate taxi rank near the hotel too.
00:10:00.740 --> 00:10:04.010
If you need to leave in a hurry, that's the best way to do it.
00:10:05.374 --> 00:10:09.768
I agree with this passage here as well.
00:10:09.768 --> 00:10:19.140
If you're going to a new place, whether it's for business or for pleasure or anything like that, it's always good to just keep a little bit of a heads up on where you're going to be at.
00:10:19.140 --> 00:10:27.339
I don't know about the whole extremes of the police station and the hospital, but if you need to know those things to give you a certain level of peace of mind, I am not going to tell you not to do that.
00:10:27.339 --> 00:10:46.450
Tell you not to do that, but get to know the areas that you're going to be staying in, whether it's for a short amount of time, middle, a long period of time, nothing, nothing is wrong with knowing where you at or the area which you're going to be in, for whatever timetable you're going to be in it.
00:10:46.450 --> 00:10:48.873
So I totally agree with that.
00:10:51.115 --> 00:10:58.662
The rules of seven P's proper planning and preparation prevents piss, poor performance.
00:10:58.662 --> 00:11:01.312
My apologies if my P's were popping there.
00:11:01.312 --> 00:11:10.519
There's a politer version that only has six P's, but I learned it in the army and soldiers are rude.
00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:17.693
Anyway, you can't plan for everything because life is unpredictable, but plan for what you can predict.
00:11:17.693 --> 00:11:25.998
What will you do if you wake up at 3 am and your bedroom is filling with smoke, or if your car gets stuck in deep snow?
00:11:25.998 --> 00:11:29.269
Are you going to stay with it or try to find shelter?
00:11:29.269 --> 00:11:31.052
Hint, stay with it.
00:11:31.052 --> 00:11:41.288
Yes, if that situation happens, please stay with the car, because people are going to go look for a car and once they find the car, they found you.
00:11:41.288 --> 00:11:46.018
But if you decide to go, walk away and do other stuff, now they got the double problems.
00:11:46.018 --> 00:11:50.397
They got to find you in a storm or wherever you're stranded from.
00:11:50.397 --> 00:11:53.368
You in a, in a storm or wherever you you're stranded from.
00:11:53.368 --> 00:12:00.269
But anywho, if you're traveling and the local news announces that el presidente has been overthrown by a military coup, what's the quickest and safest way to leave the country?
00:12:00.269 --> 00:12:07.168
Keep your plans as general as possible so they can be quickly adapted to different situations.
00:12:09.611 --> 00:12:09.871
Situations.
00:12:09.871 --> 00:12:10.952
Know where you are.
00:12:10.952 --> 00:12:17.421
This sounds obvious, but it's an easy one to forget.
00:12:17.421 --> 00:12:26.167
Wherever you are, make sure you can always put your finger on a map and say I am here In an unfamiliar city.
00:12:26.167 --> 00:12:30.153
Carry a street map and check it regularly.
00:12:30.153 --> 00:12:34.225
If you can't find your location on it, stop and work out where you are.
00:12:34.225 --> 00:12:50.820
Now, I know he said street map and I know it's 2024, but when shit hits the fan, if it needs to, or if you know what, if you don't have your phone, how will you figure out where you are in a strange city If you don't have your phone?
00:12:50.820 --> 00:12:52.337
How will you figure out where you are in a strange city if you don't have your phone?
00:12:52.337 --> 00:12:58.784
Sure, you can ask somebody in a store if you're near a store, or what if it's two, three o'clock in the morning, which?
00:12:58.784 --> 00:13:02.856
Why are you out at two and three o'clock in the morning in a strange place without your phone?
00:13:02.856 --> 00:13:04.289
But that's a whole, nother question.
00:13:04.289 --> 00:13:07.110
But these are things.
00:13:07.110 --> 00:13:26.515
So, if you need to think about where you are, think about how you can have these safeguards with you, just in case you don't have a phone or a street map Anyhow, only move when you are sure that this is the way you'll.
00:13:26.937 --> 00:13:27.578
This is the way.
00:13:27.578 --> 00:13:33.625
This is the way.
00:13:33.625 --> 00:13:37.011
This way, you'll always be able to make your way back to your hotel, to the train station or wherever else you decide you need to be.
00:13:37.011 --> 00:13:40.418
It's the same when you're hiking or hunting.
00:13:40.418 --> 00:13:44.712
You should never go into the wild without at least a map and a compass.
00:13:44.712 --> 00:13:51.400
Even if you are familiar with the area, always check the next stage of your route on the map.
00:13:51.400 --> 00:13:57.297
Note the things you should expect to be seeing and if you don't see them, stop and work out what's going on.
00:13:59.426 --> 00:14:00.288
Stay flexible.
00:14:00.288 --> 00:14:05.177
Whatever you're doing, be ready to change it at a moment's notice.
00:14:05.177 --> 00:14:07.869
That is a life gem right there.
00:14:07.869 --> 00:14:13.499
It's easy to assess a situation, decide what to do, then focus on it.
00:14:13.499 --> 00:14:15.648
It's also a mistake.
00:14:15.648 --> 00:14:21.017
You need to stay alert and regularly assess what's going on.
00:14:21.017 --> 00:14:28.625
Otherwise, you'll be concentrating so hard on dealing with one problem that another one might take you by surprise.
00:14:28.625 --> 00:14:33.109
Also, be ready to admit that something's not working.
00:14:34.129 --> 00:14:40.323
Don't keep plugging away in the hope that your 10th attempt will do better than the other nine.
00:14:40.323 --> 00:14:45.642
Stop for a moment and consider if there's another way to do it.
00:14:45.642 --> 00:14:47.472
Maybe there isn't.
00:14:47.472 --> 00:14:50.421
If not, then go right ahead and try again.
00:14:50.421 --> 00:14:54.179
But if there is, try that instead.
00:14:54.179 --> 00:15:02.702
The effort you put in your first solution doesn't matter, just as long as you come up with something that works.
00:15:02.702 --> 00:15:08.442
These basic tips are the foundation of all military survival skills.
00:15:08.442 --> 00:15:15.503
Put them into practice and you'll be halfway to getting through any crisis that may come up.
00:15:15.503 --> 00:15:19.219
Now let's look at some more specific ideas.
00:15:21.690 --> 00:15:22.652
Plan your routes.
00:15:22.652 --> 00:15:29.412
It's always a good idea to know a few alternate routes between your home and the places you visit.
00:15:29.412 --> 00:15:33.899
That helps out in a day-to-day life.
00:15:33.899 --> 00:15:41.501
Road work can block your usual route, and knowing a backup will help you get to work on time.
00:15:41.501 --> 00:15:46.081
It's an even better idea to vary your route randomly.
00:15:46.081 --> 00:15:47.832
That's a gem too.
00:15:47.832 --> 00:15:50.600
Do not always go the same way twice.
00:15:50.600 --> 00:16:08.933
Never mind, I'm not telling you what to do, but I will highly suggest that if you're going the same route every day and there's alternate routes, try to take a different route, because if there is a situation where you can't take that route that you take every day.
00:16:08.933 --> 00:16:12.322
The other route will be readily available for you.
00:16:12.322 --> 00:16:19.691
Hopefully it will, I mean, you never know but it's better to at least know a different route, just in case you need to know it.
00:16:19.691 --> 00:16:28.625
Varying routes, uh, means anyone planning to ambush you has a much harder job.
00:16:28.625 --> 00:16:36.095
Just in case you know, you should also plan the routes in advance to avoid driving into a dead end where you could be blocked and trapped.
00:16:36.095 --> 00:16:37.719
That would be annoying.
00:16:39.102 --> 00:16:39.924
Control exits.
00:16:39.924 --> 00:16:47.971
When soldiers move into an urban area, like a market square, the first thing they do is drop off a detachment to control the exit.
00:16:47.971 --> 00:16:56.144
That way, if all goes pear-shaped, which is upside down, their way out will be open.
00:16:56.144 --> 00:17:06.078
Now, you and me can't do that, but there are steps we can take to help keep escape routes open and reduce the threat of entrances.
00:17:06.078 --> 00:17:09.351
This is something I do wherever I go, if you know me.
00:17:09.351 --> 00:17:13.821
When you're in a bar or restaurant, always pick a spot where you can see the door.
00:17:13.821 --> 00:17:16.875
That way you know who's coming in and out.
00:17:16.875 --> 00:17:20.702
It sounds very basic and simple, simplistic, but it's.
00:17:20.702 --> 00:17:21.832
It's a thing.
00:17:23.013 --> 00:17:26.821
If you're sitting near the door, make sure you don't have your back to it.
00:17:26.821 --> 00:17:34.422
If you think a situation is developing, make sure it isn't between you and the only available exit.
00:17:34.422 --> 00:17:37.394
Don't get focused on the front door either.
00:17:37.394 --> 00:17:43.055
If you're're spending any length of time in one place, make sure you know where all the exits are.
00:17:43.055 --> 00:17:45.680
That is another gem.
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:56.577
Whenever I go into a space, even if I've been in that space a thousand times I always check to find every exit and entry point in a particular room or a particular building.
00:17:56.577 --> 00:18:06.000
If it's an infrequent thing, like it's my one and only time going in that building, I'm at least at minimum going to know where the exits.
00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:14.491
One at least one extra exit is If cause, if you trying to tell you, anything can happen at any given moment.
00:18:14.491 --> 00:18:25.679
So just taking an extra two or three seconds to know exactly where an alternate exit is could be, um, that could be a great thing, depending on if something go left.
00:18:25.679 --> 00:18:29.565
So, uh, think 3d.
00:18:31.472 --> 00:18:36.921
Humans evolved on the african continent and we tend to think it in two dimensions.
00:18:36.921 --> 00:18:41.895
We're used to being at ground level and watching for threats at ground level.
00:18:41.895 --> 00:18:49.499
One of the reasons urban combat creates such horrific casualty rates is that this model breaks down badly.
00:18:49.499 --> 00:18:59.683
You might be at ground level, but threats could be watching you from an upstairs window or moving beneath your feet in tunnels and even in sewers.
00:18:59.683 --> 00:19:03.960
Be wary when walking under bridges.
00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:12.980
That should be a thing either way, but muggers have been known to drop things on victims below than to descend to rob them.
00:19:12.980 --> 00:19:15.666
That sounds very spider-man.
00:19:15.666 --> 00:19:23.696
But also be ready to use bridges under underpasses and even roofs as a way to move around potential trouble spots.
00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:34.792
If you're in a city and a riot breaks out, often your best bet is to get to an underground transit system as fast as possible and jump on a train heading for the suburbs.
00:19:34.792 --> 00:19:38.019
That I don't know.
00:19:38.019 --> 00:19:42.835
I don't live in a city like that, so I don't know if that's the best course of action thing to do.
00:19:42.835 --> 00:19:49.859
If there's something like that going on, I don't think I would want to be underground, because what happens if the underground stops working?
00:19:49.859 --> 00:19:53.472
Now you're stuck underground during a situation.
00:19:53.472 --> 00:19:58.178
I don't know, but those who live in a city might have a different perspective on that.
00:19:58.417 --> 00:20:02.063
But anyhow, don't stand out.
00:20:02.063 --> 00:20:05.547
In a world of social media and selfies.
00:20:05.547 --> 00:20:10.721
It sometimes seems like life is about attracting as much attention as possible.
00:20:10.721 --> 00:20:21.813
If your aim is survival, you might want to take a different approach If trouble breaks out, whether the shit hit the fan or there's a more localized thing going on.
00:20:21.813 --> 00:20:24.877
The last thing you want to do is attract attention.
00:20:24.877 --> 00:20:36.451
Even at the best of times, there's always a risk of being targeted by robbers, and and standing out makes that risk go way up.
00:20:36.451 --> 00:20:42.384
This all might sound like oh duh information, but I'm going to say it anyway.
00:20:43.130 --> 00:20:46.340
Don't display valuables, because that makes you a target.
00:20:46.340 --> 00:20:49.259
If you don't need to carry valuables, don't.
00:20:49.259 --> 00:20:53.059
If you do need to carry them, do it discreetly.
00:20:53.059 --> 00:20:56.410
Stay mobile.
00:20:56.410 --> 00:21:04.615
In a major emergency, public transit will be an early casualty, but is a valuable resource and a lot more routine crisis.
00:21:04.615 --> 00:21:18.394
If you've been robbed, had a minor accident or your plans have been upset in some way, public transportation can be your best way of getting home or out of a problem area, as long as you have money on your fare, of course.
00:21:18.394 --> 00:21:24.321
In a city, public transit is going to be your action plan.
00:21:25.042 --> 00:21:33.423
If your city has a prepaid card system, get a second one and load it with enough cash to cross the whole city at least twice.
00:21:33.423 --> 00:21:37.196
Then carry that card somewhere secure, but not in in your wallet.
00:21:37.196 --> 00:21:43.491
That way, if you lose your wallet, you can still get home, and I don't.
00:21:43.491 --> 00:21:47.241
I don't know if that works for everybody, but that's for me.
00:21:47.241 --> 00:21:55.923
I always keep an extra 20 in my wallet at any given moment, but money is losing its use at this point.
00:21:55.923 --> 00:21:58.915
A lot of places don't carry money anymore.
00:21:58.915 --> 00:22:01.060
Its use at this point.
00:22:01.060 --> 00:22:03.026
A lot of places don't carry money anymore.
00:22:03.026 --> 00:22:22.510
So, whatever you need to do, even if it's just a debit card with just a set amount of money on it, whatever you need to do to be able to pay for your way to get home if you need to in a situation, contain your curiosity.
00:22:22.510 --> 00:22:26.358
Sometimes the best extraction plan is to not get into a situation you need to be extracted from.
00:22:26.378 --> 00:22:32.916
Say that civil disorder is becoming part of urban life and you never know when or where it's going to break out.
00:22:32.916 --> 00:22:45.045
If you see signs of something happening lots of cop cars with their sirens going up or groups of young men converging in one direction don't head that way to see what's going on.
00:22:45.045 --> 00:23:02.271
You could get caught up in a riot and not be able to get yourself out of it and could fall victim to either the rioters or shots from cops, or shots from cops.
00:23:02.271 --> 00:23:03.296
Now, that particular situation is only for people.
00:23:03.296 --> 00:23:09.435
If you're out in a city, maybe, and you went to dinner and then you come out to dinner and there's just a whole group of people and they look mad and you don't know why they mad.
00:23:09.435 --> 00:23:12.682
Don't feed the anger.
00:23:12.682 --> 00:23:16.273
Don't just say, hey, I want to be mad with them and see what's going on.
00:23:16.273 --> 00:23:17.757
Why do that?
00:23:17.757 --> 00:23:22.484
Granted, I'm only speaking to a particular people who actually do that.
00:23:22.484 --> 00:23:23.431
If you're.
00:23:23.431 --> 00:23:26.861
If you don't do that and you know better, then we do better.
00:23:27.390 --> 00:23:35.479
But I'm just saying there are some times when curiosity gets the best of people and your intentions might be just to see what's going on.
00:23:35.479 --> 00:23:48.601
But that level of curiosity not knowing what's going on, especially the way shit pops off from zero to nothing these days that curiosity could be the one thing that makes your okay day turn very, very bad real quick.
00:23:48.601 --> 00:23:56.041
So this next one depends on exactly what your situation is and how it's set up that way.
00:23:56.041 --> 00:23:59.247
But good neighbors make good fences.
00:23:59.247 --> 00:24:06.601
Your neighbors have their own social networks and sometimes they hear things you don't.
00:24:06.601 --> 00:24:15.933
Talking to them keeps you better informed about what's going on and helping them when you can make them more likely to help you if you need it.
