{"title":"Off the Grid Personal Safety","description":"\u003cp align=\"JUSTIFY\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"\u003eToday, I’m going to\ntalk about Off The Grid Safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"JUSTIFY\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"\u003eWell, living off the grid\ncan provide a lot of personal freedom. Living off the grid living\nalso causes one to take more responsibility over one’s safety.\nAlright, I’m going to give you some time tested crime prevention\nsecrets and counter-measures to secure your off the grid dwelling\nwhether you’re an off the grid-er, an RV, a prepper or Herman, a\nsurvivalist, or simply spending a few days off the beaten track wild\ncamping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"JUSTIFY\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"\u003eSo, one: Know your\nneighbours. I mean, this is your number one safety tip in the area\nthere, become best friends with these people. You don’t have to\nbecome best friends but at least say hi once in a while, it’s your\nchoice, right. You need to know who these people are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"JUSTIFY\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"\u003eGet a dog; that’s\npretty obvious. Right? \n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"JUSTIFY\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"\u003eLandscape within\nhospitable plants. This is a nice idea, you know, some of the thorny\nplants are quite beautiful and provide protection for your lot, like\na rose bush. Right? Beautiful and excellent protection makes it\nharder for people. You can make a fence out of those bushes which\nmakes it harder to people to enter into your lot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"JUSTIFY\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"\u003eConsider an alarm system,\nthat’s fairly obvious. You might want to add a wireless motion\nsensor to that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"JUSTIFY\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"\u003eKeep your outdoor areas\nwell lit; this is super important. Just it’s very expensive, it’s\na great safety measure, just to have lights on all the doors and on\nall of the open outdoor areas well lit. That’s a lot of safety,\nright?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"JUSTIFY\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"\u003eDon’t leave your keys\nout. Don’t try those magnetic boxes where you put your keys under\nyour car, put your key under your mat; people watch you and they see\nwhere you put your keys and they will rip you off, right? And even if\nthey don’t see where you put your keys, they just guess that people\ndo that, and they check.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"JUSTIFY\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"\u003eAdd internal locks to\ncritical storage areas. This includes emergency food storage, crawl\nspaces, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"JUSTIFY\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"\u003eSecure your mail; you\ndon’t want to get a mail that you’re up for withdrawal and all,\nuse a P.O box. It’s the safest way to secure your mail. You might\nonly have a chance to get into town every couple of weeks and check\nyour P.O box, but it’s still worth it. You don’t need daily mail\nif you’re living off the grid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"JUSTIFY\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"\u003eSecure your doors with\nmultiple locking mechanisms, pretty obvious. Less obvious, reinforce\nthe door frames because if anyone is trying to bust through that\ndoor, all the locks in the world aren’t gonna help it if the door\nis mounted to a frail frame. Get a tough frame, be aware people come\nthrough the door, add locks to your gates, obviously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"JUSTIFY\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"\u003eSecure the side lights or\ndoors that have large windows, by that, I mean, if you got side\nlights, put like a metal grid over them so people can’t break out\nthe lights and cause darkness. And if you have large windows that\npeople could easily pass through and open the door, even crawl\nthrough, secure those with a gate, like a metal, you know, cast iron,\nset of bars or something similar. Maybe even something that you can\nremove when you don’t want as much safety but definitely secure\nthose easy-to-get into windows and easy-to-break lights. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"JUSTIFY\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"\u003eAnd, lastly, create a\nsafe area where you can retreat, like, have a route out of your\ndwelling, so if an emergency occurs, let’s say, somebody’s trying\nto attack you or rob you; you can flee and you can flee more safely,\nbecause you’ve got it all planned out. You have a route, you have\nyour emergency escape route at the back, and it shouldn’t\nnecessarily be an easy route to follow because you live there, you\nknow the uneven terrain, you know all the little turns and twists, so\nit should be sort of a tough path to follow. You know personally very\nwell; you can run blindfolded basically for like twenty or thirty\nyards to get you away from the house if you’re being attacked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"JUSTIFY\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"\u003eYou could even come up\nwith a rough trail that, you know, personally very well, and it’s\nvery difficult for somebody to follow you with any speed when they\ntry for the first time at night, even with the flashlight, let’s\nsay, that will add a lot of safety also and that’s often times\noverlooked when planning for safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"JUSTIFY\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"\u003eAlright, that’s all we\nhave about safety on off the grid living for today. We will be coming\nback, join us for more daily off the grid living motivational,\ntechnical presentations.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/store.onlinelandsales.com\/collections\/off-the-grid-personal-safety.oembed","provider":"Onlinelandsales","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
