I'm always going grey man. I dress in basic clothes, even for work. I don't speak about what I'm doing to anyone, including my family. They are all so focussed on themselves, I'm usually just the person they info dump on and aren't interested in hearing what I have to say. That used to annoy me, but now I take it as a blessing. When others are talking about themselves, they don't ask questions of you, so you don't have to curate your personal information. You just keep quiet. Bliss! When I add to my preps, I go to different stores on different days and mix things up quite a lot. I also pay cash for as much as I can. I don't have any store loyalty cards and if any of the retail employees mention how they've seen me before, or comment on how much stuff I'm buying, I go to a different location for that store and wait a few weeks before I return. That's happened to me a few times and it's freaked me out and what's prompted me to to deeper into grey man. I also go to self serve checkouts wherever I can find them. I'm not paranoid and I don't ever think that way. I'm private and I like keeping my business to myself. And I only want to be noticed when it's important for me to be noticed, or when I decide I want to be noticed. Apart from that, I just want to operate within the world without being bothered.

thank you for putting the time and thought to share this info with us.

Excellent presentation

Appreciate you. I live alone. Glad to know this.

What about the advise that when a house is dark it's a target for would be thieves thinking no one is home?

Yeah brother we know. WOLVERINES !

Thank you. This is good to know. I hope this never happens.

I got that same curtain set in a bathroom. I tell my man for both safety and to keep hot sunlight out he needs to dress these windows better. No sheer white curtain pulled open and that’s it. You have far more control with blinds, sheer curtain than a blackout over it all. I know he hats the idea of a dark house but a bare window isn’t doing him no favors neither other than seeing out and everybody can see you looking out! It’s better to see out but not be seen and have control over the amount of light and eyes coming in than it is to have no contact over any of it. The house is much cooler in the summer and no prying eyes then deciding he’s home I’ll interrupt what’s he’s doing just because of the one time he home early. He got a grown child next door that seems to think all his time belongs to her to unload her child, his grand child on him in the middle of him trying to cut a tree down, wash the boat with a power washer, lay down a driveway. You name it, his almost 30 year only daughter thinks that’s the perfect time to send her 6 yr old over! Drives me f’ing insane! She moping but can’t do that with a 6 yr old or a 30 yr old fiancé but expect her 60 yr old still working father to be able to drive a heavy truck pulling heavy equipment around the state, come home and watch her 6 yr old while he’s trying to replace a wall AC that weighs more than he dose! Anyhow, I’m glad he listened to my simple fixes eventually and we’re better off for it.

Just pop out the screen, drop it in the bag, then pop the screen back in place. Amateurs. 😏

Gen x 79 just made it. I support the genX!

Good video! Thanks for saving me money 😂🎉❤ !!! Also EXCELLENT for nosey neighbors!❤❤😂😂😂

Great ideas! On another note, I like your kitchen cabinets. They would really pop with a light blue or green !

What about hurricane

Yeah, I learned the hard way with window film and plain packing tape. I now keep rolls of painter's tape.

Thank you

I would just use wide painters tape no paint will come off

Mix acryllic paint with dish soap and paint the glass of the windows.

The title says uncivil war why do I have to be civil to comment

Thanks 👍 I ❤. I do got both. And I'm awake

Awesome video, I did this to my dining room windows to cut down the sun and heat, it’s made a significant temperature change in the house.

I have always bought curtains with a blackout lining sewn in.. They are also thermo for keeping cool and warm.. These are great tips, thank you.

Thank you...!!! Very informative ...! Very well said...!

awesome

I've never thought of nor heard anyone speak about having a deck of cards. Thank you so much!

Spoken like a true gen X er ❤

They sell black out curtains at Dollar General.

Thanks!

Stop kidding yourself seriously. People know.

I put a thick blanket over my living room windows. Keeps it from feeling like a sauna. Nobody comes to visit me anyway 😅

That bag has to be extra thick because at night you can stiil see the light through them although not as bright.

Thank You ... and for old fashioned (heavy/layered) custom curtains ... clothes pins ... (easy to use/remove). Whole beg; 3-4 to a window each, enough for a whole house! ❤ Tin foil across the top (side ways) ... if zero light desired. Sticks with spray bottle of water. Thank you for sharing ...

Great tip, thanks! Seems obvious, but it honestly never occurred to me. I was going to try and use blankets and bedspreads, if I had to, but those are obviously a lot heavier so I wasn’t quite sure on how to secure them so they’d stay up, and secure the edges. I also didn’t stop to think about not showing any light at all I’m that situation. Thanks for the video. 👍

Yes, I've had to do this when I had a peeping Tom. I'm glad, to see, I'm not the only one to use black plastic over windows❣️ Blessings ✨

Great idea & it’s cheap. Thank you. Ppl should refrain from telling ppl how prepared they are bc those ppl might think you’re crazy now, but when they get hungry, they’ll know who has the food.. God is about to do a 2nd Exodus, but bigger bc it’s worldwide, to remove the evil from the 7 mountains of society. For 3 days they’ll be darkness, blackouts, no TV, radio, internet, or cell use. Have food, water, pet supplies , baby supplies, an alternate way to cook. Don’t be afraid. God says He will protect His children like He protected the Israelites.

😊 I did this to the window. Behind me in my. Living. Room Awsome outside at. Night. No way to see any. Like a blackout. Awsome!!!!

I purchase dark (black, brown, forest green, or dark blue ) plastic tarps. I use metal curtain loops that have little clips on the end and clip them onto one side of the tarp (usually the side with the holes in it). Then I put the damage-free hooks along the top of the window. These are the hooks that have an adhesive backing. Then just raise the tarp with the loops and hang them from the hooks. When I want to take the tarp down, I use a reaching stick with a little hook on the end to lift the loops off the hooks I attached to the wall. I also use the reaching stick to put the tarp up on to the hooks on the wall. Works extremely well and is moisture proof since no tape needed. You can use the adhesive hooks, put more adhesive on them if necessary or just hammer some hooks at the top of the window if you own your own home and don’t mind putting nails in the walls. PS If you are able to install 2 curtain rods, then the inner curtain rod could be used to hang the tarps on with the curtain rod hoops I just described. That way you can just slide the tarp across when you need to and thus avoid the adhesive wall hooks altogether. ​​PS If you are able to install 2 curtain rods, then the inner curtain rod could be used to hang the tarps on with the curtain rod loops I just described.

Yay! This is just the channel i was hoping for! Just subbed! 🎉

Good, informative video...thank you very much! Contractor bags it is!

Boarding up or taping off your windows is essential in a wrol scenario. But that makes you blind to the outside. You need to be able to see outside your place to know what's going on around you. Hidden security cameras are a must

Wow… thank you

Very good. Thank you

Thank you very much for this idea as it addressed a concern of mine.

Thick cardboard cut to size is easy to do and can be otained for free.

I have black curtains double layer all lights on in the house you can not see one ray of light on the outside looking I've done this for decades not for security but for me personally suffering from massive debilitating migraines I had no other choice no one in the neighborhood ever knows if we are awake asleep home or away the curtains stay closed !!!

I have a ? doesn't taping up the whole window like that keep all the air out, what then??

You should look up on KZfaq (Hampton Law)- how to stop police from looking through your walls. Or (Action Lab)- how to use your IPhone as a motion detector through walls and concrete. It will be another way to protect yourselves. Good video. Good advice. Stay safe always.

Right on ✊🏻

The black out bag is a good idea to block out unwanted light but doing an outage and civil unrest i chose option B to prevent my window from being broken i will board up my front window which is a picture window in the middle and 2 small windows on the side with 3/4" plywood which i already have in the garage that i purchased in 2019 reasonably priced then and it will go up at the first sign of civil unrest,thats the only window that's exposed to street traffic, the black bag will block out the light from within but it won't stop a brick from the outside but the black bags will work for the side and back window nothing but a bullet will enter those windows , my house is fenced in on 3 sides thanks for sharing👍
