to worry about where they're at and if they're in my line of fire. So there's all kinds of things we've got to think about.

One of the biggest things that I always... One of the biggest things I always tell people for basic house fortification, before you do anything else, is go down to Home Depot or Lowe's and buy some three-inch wood screws, the big, long, heavy suckers, and then go through all of your doors and replace the strike plates for the panels and the hinges.

Take out those little one-and-a-quarter-inch screws or three-quarter-inch screws, whatever they put them in there, that one good kick will put those right through the wall, and put three-inch screws into that big... that big support lintel all the way around. And that is going to, I went to breacher school.

And when we're learning to break in places, you know, the difference between the little tiny screw and a three inch screw will give you at least 10 minutes of, you know, depending on how prepared they are, it will give you time to realize someone's coming in to retreat to your safe room or whatever your plan happens to be and deal with the threat and engage in whatever manner you need to.

But the biggest thing is slowing down I mean, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face. And so what we want to do is we want to make sure that that reactionary gap between something happening and us being able to respond to it is as long as possible.

So we're able to mitigate whatever circumstances are happening, get our loved ones safe, and then engage in whatever manner we need to to deal with the threat.

Well, we're certainly barreling towards the kinetic aspect. I think we're in World War III right now, which is a war of narratives. It's fifth-generation warfare. However, the kinetic aspect of it, we are barreling towards... with total abandon. And so I don't know. And really, one of the things I hit in my book all the time is I don't want to sell fear.

This isn't about World War III or, you know, Civil War or even, you know, a nuclear explosion or EMP. What this is about is about getting back to the things that we can be empowered with in our own life. Take care of your house. Take care of your food. Take care of your water. Take care of your community.

build community, connect with people that provide things that you don't provide and build that so that then we're living in a way that these things that we're worried about, if they come to pass, we're already set up for it. I believe in creating a life that we live and these things are just natural outgrowths of the way we live.

Well, when you talk to all the experienced preppers, everyone talks about ham radio, HF radio, which is absolutely the gold standard. However, it's very difficult to learn. It's not something you have to get licensed for it. I mean, in a shithead hitting the fan situation, nobody's going to be worried about licenses, but you still have to operate that. And it's not something that you can just...
