Listen To This Article: (But don’t forget to watch the videos)

In this article, I’m going to show how our prepper lifestyle MIGHT make us more vulnerable to theft. How our independent tendencies might work against us. If we let them.

I will not be going over the basics that you’ve seen thousands of times before, like — don’t advertise that you’re a prepper, stay armed if you can, hide your valuables, get a security system, invest in cameras, etc.

Nope, we’ll focus today on what we can gain from advice from real burglars. Short and sweet, as always. 😅 (You’ll only know that’s funny if you’re a regular reader. If not…)
