    • I dont know. We still own them. But we really dont go to places that would require them. Not a lot of folks having shootouts at the entrance to Bryce Canyon. WE dont do big cities, and mostly stay in rural area, with low drug rates. I appreciate your opinion though.

  • The best self defense is being aware of your surroundings. Most “bad guys” are looking for easy targets… the person with headphones on or looking down at their phone, etc. Some self defense training is good to have as well. I did several years of martial arts training and the biggest thing I got from that is to be constantly aware of your surroundings and to also project that in your body language. Head up, upright posture, look people in the face, let people know you see them and could identity them. But honestly this is why we have a motorhome. If something goes down I want to be able to leave without having to step outside.

  • I understand the concern for stray bullets. But in gun safety we are always taught to know what's on the other side of your target before you decide to pull the trigger. I carry everywhere but a good option in an RV of you're afraid of over penetration is a shotgun loaded with salt rounds. I'm a concealed carrier too but I also carry a secondary non lethal option like pepper spray. Usually the pepper spray is enough to get a bad guy to back off, but if that doesn't work then you got no choice sometimes. This is why training regularly is important.

  • Coincidentally I was about to ask you some questions about your comms etc. The only things I'd add for possible consideration that overlap security and emergency prep would be: 1) 3,2,1 rule backups of important and irreplaceable documents, photos, contact lists etc. that can be accessed away from the rig/home. 2) A bug-out bag in case you suddenly have to vacate the rig in a remote location. 3) First Aid kit and record of any personal medical issues. 4) Automation that can trigger other actions (spotlight cameras/lights, motion detectors, door/window open/close sensors, vibration/glass break sensors etc.) Zigbee devices can be ideal for most of this as they use very little power, don't rely on Internet access or Wifi, and are relatively cheap. 5) Pocket router that can be used in hotel rooms and other public wifi spaces if insecure wifi is the only option. I'm an advocate of the Ring cameras as there's a community of "neighborhood watch" in our area that alert people to prowlers, porch pirates, emergency service activity, wildlife and help to locate lost dogs etc.

    • Agree …. 3,2,1 for docs, family photos and memiries: 3 locations 2 - local meaning your laptop and an external hard drive 1 - cloud based …. BUT … not all cloud storage is created equal.!!!! You need a long-term permanent solution so that when you expire your documents, family photos, and memories don’t also expire and are deleted and not available to family. I’ve have done extensive research on this, as I’ve lost files, I thought were secure but was wrong….😢 If you are ‘renting’ cloud storage, which most people are tell me, what happens when you stop paying rent Yep, you are evicted.

I’m all for non-lethal options, but I’d still keep a backup. I’ve been robbed, burglarized, mugged, and while staying in a crackle barrel overnight, I heard something and locked my truck which also turns the lights on. I didn’t see anyone, but found scratches and marks on my trucks door. Like he said, CAMERAS, I like eufy, and also trail cameras. They will video or take pictures when motion activated.

    • There is a lot that goes into the physics of the weapon, and a video can be made to show basically whatever you want to present. Each CO2 cartridge only provides max velocity for the first few discharges. It looses power after that. Is it perfect, no, but I have not heard of someone being accidentally killed with one. Will it do any good with the other person has a gun pointed at you, probably not. Its not perfect, but its the best solution for us at this time.

    @mattstueck1917@mattstueck1917Ай бұрын
    • This setup is different. Before we were using a sim form a tmobile phone on the magenta plan. We switched to T-Mobile and Verizon home due to cost. We have not had any issues with location locking. With that said, T-Mobile just announced T-Mobile away, for RVs @ $160 a month. It is expected that starting the first week of May they are going to location lock the home internet. There is another non-profit company out there called Calyx that is backended by T-Mobile and we are investigating that option to replace T-Mobile home. Oh, and the sims in the T-Mobile and Verizon home internet would not work in the peplink. well, they would but would drop down to 300gb a month like a hot spot. We opted to leave them alone and creat a wireless bridge to their devices.

While rural areas may have fewer law enforcement nearby most crimes are over with in minutes if not seconds..better to be able to handle it yourself. Works for me..maybe not for everybody though.

  • The Byrna is just a standard large (.68") paintball gun, at an obscene price. It is also a firearm according to some states, where simply "firing a projectile with stored energy" defines a firearm. Other states define a firearm as using gunpowder, and that's where the Byrna is legal. It is still a concealed weapon if you conceal it. Paint ball guns are more common and less expensive, and just as powerful, in the .50" size with a great number of paintballs, including teargas and pepper spray and a variety of soft and hard balls.

    @lyfandeth@lyfandeth27 күн бұрын
    • While i agree with you from a technical standpoint, I think it would disingenuous to refer to it as a paintball gun. Here is why, Paintball guns are usually a smaller round that takes less energy to project. Most manufactures and paintball facilities cap the velocity at 300fps. If the Byrna used the same size projectile it would have a much faster velocity. As it is Byrna has a muzzle velocity over 340 fps. Now I know that there are paintball guns that shoot up to 1000 fps but they are not the norm, are not the same compact size, and the cost is comparable. I don't discredit your comparison, the technology is the same, just a different fit, form, and function.

It amazes me how people advertise their channel on their vehicle, specifically to be seen and used by people close enough to read it, then they act like the person contacting them is an axe murderer. Talk about a security breach. Revealing your identity, contact info to everyone in your vicinity, is pretty high on the list of possible breaches. For another few bucks, they can have your SSN, credit report, home address, and names/addresses of all your kids. But in reality, they're almost always just accepting your billboard of an invitation to check out who you are and what you're doing.
