THIS WEEK'S TRANSCRIPT
remote locations somewhere or anything in between when resources are low people
are going to go searching for stuff now that could be looters, but it could just as easily
be homeless people. It could be gangs teenagers sifting around stuff or it could even
just be nosy neighbors going through things when you're not there.
I don't mean just like breaking your home like Gladys from next door is going through
your bedside drawer and like because you're out at work or something I'm talking about
when things are really like resources or low when people are looking for things they
can get very creative and snooping around. So if you're just resorting to hiding some of
these things at a retreat you may show up to find that your place has been ransacked
and all of your stuff taken. I mean, that's what happened to me actually. So what I
found
Was I was I was living in Upstate New York and I went to go check on a it was a small
trailer campsite that my dad had where he had stalked some stuff away and it was in a
very remote area was not like we're a bunch of campsites around or anything. Like that
was a pretty remote campsite but I always used to go up there like in the summertime
just go make sure everything still good up there and my dad had figured that no one
would go into the lock trailer. But when I got there one of those times the door had
been busted.
Open I had noticed that there were bullet holes actually in the side of the trailer.
I went inside the cupboards were bare. My dad's hunting rifle that he had actually
hidden behind some boards in the closet the everything in the closet was done. I
mean, like they people had taken somebody had taken like a sledgehammer or
something and just started going through and just putting holes in walls and everything
else. Well, somebody got a nice little hole in the in the wall where the closet was and
found my dad's hunting rifle in there.
There were beer cans all over the place. So my thought was that it was probably a
bunch of teens have been up there partying. I mean again the more remote location
that you have. So if you have like a hunting camp somewhere or something like that,
like people find those places and they will tear them apart because it's not their place.
It becomes kind of like a fort they might just hang out there for a while if there's nothing
anybody there obviously for a very long time. They may actually make it like their little
clubhouse, but they're going to tear it apart. They're going to Graffiti everything else.
So you have to assume that even your Secret locations could be discovered and a
more advance cash. That's safely buried could be a real life saver for you. When you
arrive at your destination at the very least. It's a really good insurance policy. Right?
