I am so sorry that you've had to put up with that nasty person don't forget to go to the police about it I love I love you all and I hope you have a lovely journey wherever it takes you don't let us know where you are which you've know anyway but all the same have a good one all my love Anita from the UK
God bless you guys I'm preying for your safety!
Does the keypad light up on the keyless entry?
My daughter is a Military Police Officer in the Army. I have MP stuff all over my truck. She brought me a sign from Germany where she’s stationed, that says:
“Due to the high cost of ammunition, we will no longer fire warning shots”
Just sayin’.....😂🤣
Had a friend who is a policeman, and he said never let anyone know your carrying. If the bad guy knows, you’ll be the first one to get shot.
True.
I have a sign on the door of my RV that states, " This door is locked for your protection, not mine". And yes, as an Army Ranger, I carry and them some...lol Stay safe brother...
Thanks for your service brother...A ⭐ dad...
This reminded me of a neighbors window sticker that said "this house is protected by Shotgun 3 nights a week. You guess which 3". The town I lived in had 99% gun ownership, so we didn't have any issues with break ins. Nobody that stupid. No one knew who the one family was that didn't own guns.
One of my favorites: “Nothing Inside Is Worth Dying For.” They can take it as a warning, and you take it as a reminder that it is just stuff. However, if you or a loved one is inside, that changes everything.
Sign says: IF YOU CAN READ THIS…………YOUR WITHIN RANGE!! And yes we’re permitted to carry! Y’all stay safe. That was definitely NOT cool of that a**hole!!
100% on self protection. My entire family has been trained by our local sheriffs department. I hate carrying a weapon but I hate being a victim more. Family first!
It's so nice that this is a political free zone. It's so nice that we can come here and unwind. It is so nice that we can learn productive things and lessons with out the current high tension political talk. Thank you
It’s really upsetting that a family that promotes kindness and happiness is treated so badly. Hope you guys stay safe and can still travel without having up look over your shoulders. ❤️
Having to not having up...🙄
Your head should always keep your head on a swivel...that way you are always prepared when one of the universes fuqups decides that you would make a good victim of his dumb ass...most of them really are dumb...use that, recordings are some of the best deterrents...my favorite's the machine gun and the cocking of a 12 guage...most peoples guts turn into ice water when they hear those sounds...funny watching them tripping all over themselves to get out of "range"...
Block your license plates when videoing. You just NEVER know. Please be safe!!
I keep telling people that all the time..
Having been a locksmith for over 40 years I don't recommend WD-40 for the lock. It gums them up and it will seem good to begin but makes it worse over time. It does have its purposes but just not locks you want to use a dry film lube such as Super Lube.
Good tip!
dry lubricant,
If you do but spray out some times with break clean then reluctant if that's what u got
73 yo widow and travel alone in class A. I never leave my county without my “buddy 38” by my side. I know the states that allow open carry and concealed. For my protection.... against road rage, etc... I always carry.
God Bless..i thank God we are in Texas..even though it's turning blue fast...we stay in the country as much as possible. Where there is still some freedom.
Amen girl. I'm 67, but 10 years in the military and rolling a semi two separate times has taken its toll. However... even though I'm slow and walk with a limp... people tend to take one look at me when I'm hiking out west and head away. On my left hip (left handed) is a 13+1 .45ACP. On the right in a cross-draw holster is a .357 Mag with snake shot. I'm protected from four, and two, legged predators as well as those that crawl! I'm not scared... I'm prepared. I also installed an alarm on my class A. Open the door with it on, a 135 db siren goes off. BUT, I bought a pair of those tiny horrible blue-white fog light at wally world as well. One is mounted under the cabinet at the bathroom wall aimed at the door. The other one is mounted on the curtain rail at the bedroom aimed down the middle. If someone breaks in (I disabled the outside door handle on the driver's door. Never used it anyway) they are blinded by the lights... and I'm behind them with a 12 gauge pump shotgun..............
@@kimberlylay1005 I don't think Texas is really turning blue
@@WhatsCookingTime praying it doesn't. But w all the influx of illegals... We are in turmoil
I'm beginning to get down that'll never be able to do this as a single female. I do know how to use a gun, quite well, this is discouraging.
My good friend in Florida has a pet alligator. Never had a break in yet. He just says if they wanna try..."Good Luck and Bless Your Heart" lol
Oh wow! That's a unique tip!
It's highly illegal to have a pet alligator in Florida, they are a protected species
So sorry about "haters" comments. I wonder if it might be actually someone from the park that was on one of the HOA's side. So glad you reported it. Stay safe. Love y'all. ❤❤❤
That is exactly what I was thinking.
Its always an acquaintance or someone u have crossed paths . Definitely start with the strange hoa stalkers in florida
the HOA is a cancer in this place
I’m so sorry for this unacceptable threat. I’m glad your passing this onto the authorities. You have always promoted kindness, and to be threatened like this is unacceptable. Stay safe and well.
I used to live in my coachman Mirada with my one year old and wife few years back . I would carry a 12 gauge flare gun from marine west velcrowed to my ceiling in front of the door . It's legal in all 50 states .
I recommend you add door locks to your propane tank storage door areas and lock the tanks to the frame or compartment. Also add lock to your battery door and lock battery down.
They are trying to educate and help others with the products. Good for them. When we were getting ready to go full time we looked for videos like this to learn about products that we might need.
My wife and I enjoy your videos and look forward to the new ones. I have some input here on carrying a firearm anywhere. We own a concealed weapons school here in Michigan, training hundreds of people. If not handled right, carrying a gun can be a detriment to your safety. If you choose to do so, it should be the best-kept secret in town. When you have hit the point of last resort, that's the time to expose the firearm and USE IT. Too many people think a gun will intimidate someone who means you harm, it doesn't. When that time comes (hoping it doesn't) the only sound an attacker should hear is the safety be set to the fire position if that. Don't negotiate at the point of last resort...you are long past that point. Hope this is helpful here.
Great advice! Thanks so much Rick!
I would also share this with the FBI, as this is most likely across State lines. Good luck with all this.
This isn't the only nomad to install home security on their house on wheels. He's just showing that it's easy to set up also good channel content. Just not sure unless they (emergency workers) can find you unless it's uses GPS.
Each time someone pulls a stunt like this erodes the minute bit of faith of goodness in humankind that I want to believe that might yet exist in us.
@@kateburk2168 You mean - there could be bad people out there? Oh my!
@@stephensmith1034 Funny...not.😬 Part of me would love to put these guys 6' down instead pf prison as the only thing they learn there is how to do it better, faster
What stops me is that someone somewhere loves the little creep. And even if they were taught morals, something happened along the way.
@@kateburk2168 get them convicted and incarcerated. They'll have everyday for a very long time to think about what they did on their keyboard over the internet. Let that sink in.
Just a heads up but it’s not a great idea to put up signs with the company name on them. It lets people know what frequency the system uses, which can then be used to jam the sense signal!
You can also get the thing that will detect what frequency is being used. Anything that transmit can be detected that's why a dog is often better. Or using both. but some guy standing outside with a box in their hand pointing at your RV is kinda obvious LOL
Never lock your doors with a remote. Do it manually. There are thieves with electronic "readers" that can capture your code from a little distance.
There also thrives that can pick up your key fob signal and use it on your car, the new key fob send a constant segnal that’s why when you get close the doors unlock witch also start if you have push button start
Yeah I just don’t have a good vibe about those types of locks. I will stick to keyed locks.
That is true, but the same goes with the garage and vehicle lock. It's all about having a circle of protection. If you run into someone who has the reader to be able to do this, you have more of a problem.
@Colorado native.. you posted this a yr ago , but I just saw this on the news how they are bouncing it to the car from the fob that's in the house..crazy
Report this to the authorities, make the report and carry on with your life. The Barking dog is not the one you worry about ! You are allowing this person to terrorize you don’t allow it to take hold or they win. You are correct take reasonable precautions and be aware of your surroundings but live your life uninterrupted. Always avoid any confrontation the best you can make every reasonable effort if engagement is required you have to do what you have to do. God bless you folks don’t allow yourselves to be victimized. 👍🙏🇺🇸
I totally agree with Ben. Make the report and carry on. You guys make excellent videos. Don’t let some asshole change the way you guys have fun, you have done absolutely nothing wrong. Make sure you report the asshole threatening you to whatever social media platform they are using also. Keep up the great work.
What a horrible threat! Thats terrifying! As a solo middle aged woman, I've always boondocked and felt fine, but as of Wednesday I'm full time so I've been thinking about safety measures I should put in place, so thank you for the tips. Creativity RV has some good recommendations too particularly for a single woman. I hope they arrest the person threatening you soon. Travel safe!!
Many U-Haul specific locations (not a multi-business place, but U-Haul only) have propane refills available. They will fill your bottles cheaper than a lot of places.
Hi Tom, when my parents camped, they met a solo lady who put out either very Lg work boots or a Lg spiked dog collar and Lg chain put out when your stopped. I’m so sorry u got a threat. Oh tell Cheri she should bring her dog along, they maybe small but they do make bad ppl think twice. Love ❤️ from 🇨🇦
When it comes to the “law”, I believe in the philosophy of “I’d rather be judged by 12, than carried by 6” I know that may seem harsh but unfortunately it is the truth! I’m from Texas and we have a make my day law and I am a firm believer that should be a federal law nation wide!
Speaking as a Native Texan, I couldn’t agree more. .00 Buck don’t play and neither do I.
Homey don't play that.
Damn Straight!
Thats my phrase also. After 30 years in the Military, trust me, it can keep you alive. Don't be a prey. At the time needed rise to be the alpha.
It's our God given right, we are born with!
This is very important to be aware of for sure. Most people think that all other campers are courteous and nice people when in fact they may not. Especially these days when people are displaced from their homes and maybe more desperate. So thank you for making people to be mindful and safe.
Thank goodness we have a president that supports the 2nd amendment and doesn't want to de-fund the police!! Y'all stay safe
Yes, but will we keep him?
It's so nice that this is a political free zone. It's so nice that we can come here and unwind. It is so nice that we can learn productive things and lessons with out the current high tension. Thank you.
@@LaCatLady For a FREE AMERICA'S SAKE, lets hope so!🇺🇸
@@melissalewis8803 You are most welcome.
@@LaCatLady "BE NICE"😁
I’m glad your son is a part of your journey. Thank you so much for your harassment series. Yup series!
Tom, good info. I am a recreational RV in a very small RV, 12ft in length hard wall. Anyway, I really like camping and have met so many nice people from all over the North American. My view is that camping is like stepping back in time where people say hello, ask if you need help and are basically friendly. I haven't experienced any real negative encounters as of yet. I'm a 64 yr recently retired male who's camped for decades and I camp alone and in groups sometimes. I'm sorry to hear that you went through this scary experience and I hope that your future RV living is much more positive for you all. Stay safe and as you say, Enjoy The Journey. Take care.
This is terrible. You are correct in reporting this. Thanks for your tips. I am retired Law Enforcement, and this is uncalled for.
I think there is safety in numbers and your son is a blessing to have with you on this journey! Two males would deter any bad person!
that's the reason why I'm glad I will be traveling with 2 things for protect 1 Bella my 100 pound Pitbull mix pup, and I tell people if you wanna mess with me give your soul to the Lord because your butt is HER'S 😁 the second is I am mounting a can of wasp spray at my door believe it or not it's better than pepper spray or Bear spray and you could shoot it 20 feet away and it's cheap ; legal OK , the third I have another dawg that barks here and bites over there that dog breed is Titan 25 semi auto pistol
Love your comment
I was so shocked to hear of the threat you received. I am so sorry this happened to you. We have been RV’ing for 14 years, not full time though, never had any real negative experiences. Thank God. Be safe and thank you so much for sharing your experiences.
The few times I've had people approach me like they were going to rob me, the sight of the holstered Glock 19 quickly made them re-think that decision.
I've traveled the world in places both good and bad, in uniform and out, and you just develop this sixth sense for people's intentions.
And if - God forbid - it does come time to put 'em down, don't hesitate, don't talk, just get it done and immediately dial 911.
I flat out refuse to set foot in any state that doesn't recognize my carry permit. They won't get a dime from me.
I think most gun owners believe that you have to discharge a weapon to thwart crime. Not true. I also have a carry permit but I don't open carry because I will be the first person they take out. I'm 60 years old and always carry my small Glock 43. Twice in my life all I had to do was to display it and they turn and walk away. Never pointed it at anyone, just showed that I have it.
I agree 100%! I spent the past 10 years doing armed security and, wore my sidearm on my right hip every day while patrolling. I had many encounters with Johnny badass types, ALL of which told me they were going to kick my butt but, unfortunately, they had to be somewhere else just then. (I got to watch their eyes move from mine, to my right hip while they were telling me this....very obvious) I never had to even put my hand on my holster, never had to make any threats and have never even pulled my gun but, it has saved me countless times just because...it was there. (I am in my 60's)
Hi, that propane, i live on a boat and it all depends on the place i'm at. So what i do is buy or find a Blue Rhino can and keep it with me, so if i need to, i can go almost any place and for about 20 bucks i'll exchange it for a filled one. any lowes, home depot usally sells that brand.
I'm really enjoying the recent changes in video editing, camera angles, and b-roll shots. It's really stepping up the game. Great video guys!
Idc if it’s legal or not , if I’m in eminent danger I will do what I got to do to protect myself .
I’m with you Donna!!!
Y'all be safe, remain vigilant, and carry a weapon...people that prey on other people are animals that need to be put down...I bought my ol' lady a baton that has a taser on the end and the shaft is lit up too...a regular "hot stick" only lights up the tip...wherever they grab this thing, it bites...they're around 50 to 100 dollars...BudK carries a flashlight/taser for around 30 bucks...
imminent danger warrants whatever it takes!
Another tip.... keep ALL key fobs inside an RF shield type pouch. You can buy them under $20 on Amazon. It prevents ‘techy” crooks from using these new scanner tools to pick up the signal (some from up to 300 feet) given off by ALL, yes ALL key fobs. Once they have the frequency to an individual key fob, they use it to remotely open a door and/or start a vehicle when your asleep or away from it. They just wait for you to leave. I know this because I was assigned to an auto theft detail for years.
I am sorry you are being harassed. No one deserves that. Thank you for telling us about the campground you had encountered the busy bodies. What a bunch of bullies!! God bless you both and be safe.
If you are driving a Class B or C or van take the seat belt and put it through inside door handle and snap it in 2 the buckle. This will add another layer of protection to keep people out of your RV while you sleep. Even if they find a way to unlock the door it will be difficult for them to open the door because the seat belt will not allow it to open fully
Great tip! Thanks!
Another tip.... NEVER have a sticker on your vehicles that say anything to the effect that you have “fire+arms” inside. Example: “NR.A” type stickers. They just tell a burglar that your RV or truck is something worth breaking into. Or.... they might fake a claim that you brandished the “tool” at them, when you didn’t. It just causes you more problems. Keep a low profile with that stuff.
I’m so sorry to hear about your troubles, just know you all are in my throughs and prayers. Be safe out there
I have no problem solo boondocking with my friends Smith & Wesson and our big Bubba sidekick Remington.
Great video. My sister and I use the ring system because of some of the areas we're in at dog shows. It's nice to have some peace of mind. I did learn however to remember to remove the batteries from the doorbell before we take off or we get hours of video while we're driving down the road. Lol. Will be glad to hear how this system works for you over time.
Another tip I read when we began is if you have a Class A or C, a lot of break ins are the doors getting jimmied opened. Probably not so easy on the newer models now but I read to put ratchet straps thru the door pulls and tighten so the doors can't be opened if the lock is jimmied.
Thank you so much for the wonderful safety tips . We are older and are just starting our adventure and you can never be to safe these days , Stay well and Travel safe .
The FBI has a unit dedicated to internet threats.
All propane bottles made today already have a built-in gas shutoff, adding one might give you peace of mind, and the gauge is a feature. However not necessary.
Unacceptable, illegal, and emboldened by the current political atmosphere. So sorry to hear this occurred. It really is time for more and more people to speak out about this abhorrent behavior.
Your son seems like a sweetheart. I’m glad he’s now part of the show.
Sorry to hear about this, but this was a good video-we all have to watch out for each other. Be safe, be safe and enjoy the journey. Like all these tips
Boy that was a long commercial, very well done
One of the first things i did was install a new lock with the touchpad and key fob. I never use the fob in populated areas but the touchpad is programmable to your own code. I love love love it
I have been in LE for 35 years. I can assure you those threats are felonies in my state. But if they make an arrest be prepared to go to court.
Or testify on Zoom! Most of the courts here are closed to the public and “doing court” on the web.
Wow! I am so sorry you guys are being harassed. You guys are such nice people! I hope this person who is doing this to you will pay the consequences for their actions. Threats will not be taken lightly or tolerated! Stay safe and I always look forward to your videos. ❤️
Prayers for all of you for Good health and SAFETY.
Wow, so sorry to hear you're dealing with that. I'm glad you contacted the authorities and I'm confident that they'll turn it to the FBI. It definitely IS a threat. Be safe, Be kind and Be free. Glad you're not letting some coward stop your adventures! 👍🚌🏞️🏝️🧭
You don't have to worry about the guy in Fl. Anyone that tells you they are going to do something is 99% all talk.
I have a CCW and don't travel the states that don't allow. If I have to pass thru they don't know I'm carrying. God forbid I have to use it I would rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
If someone breaks into my home or rv they will have a bad day.
Remember most Tractor Supply stores will refill propane tanks and will sometimes actually refill them with the tanks still in the camper 👍
Stopping at the more outside light comment. If you do that, tent campers will get no sleep, the light will shine right through. Please be thoughtful of your fellow "tent" campers.
I agree with you Andy. I get out and camp to see the stars but the light pollution from that many lights would make star gazing impossible.
I think if anyone could write a book on being considerate of others, it’s these folks! Did you see his T-shirt “Be Kind”?? They’ve done videos on this subject.
@@cccat3059 I was surprised he said that. That's why I paused the video right there and responded. I too saw that video you referred to.
Friendly reminder. Any vehicle that can haul that rv can put a chain on your vehicle an pull it out of the way in seconds an hook up the rv. Always use your lock. I know a lot about this experience.
So glad you are safe. I know what you mean about CCW. I have already started the training here in Fl.
So sorry you had to endure that kind of crap in FL. It sure made it clear as to why you don't want to announce where you're staying as you put out your videos. Good reminder. Well, with that behind you... happy travels!
I use simply safe at home and love it. So glad to know I can use it when I go full time travel
Thank for all the pointers and safety measures ! Keep being safe and warm!
I would also like to share a tip regarding your locks that you put on your RV , you should put different codes on each door 🔐
Yeah, I was going to say that too - we do that at home
I have another one to add to your ‘Be Kind’. It’s called CRC. Consideration, respect, and courtesy, they apply to everything!
Wow guys hate it that happened. Thanks a bunch for this vlog on safety. You have to always think about safety!! Stay safe & happy travels🤗
I am from Okaloosa FL and I am sorry that you are having to deal with this jerk! Please know that we are nice people in the Panhandle; unfortunately, there are evil, disgusting people everywhere. Please report this and I pray you get results! Do not let him get away with being threatened! This is unacceptable! I truly am sorry this has happened to you!
Echo this not everybody in Florida is a lunatic…
I also have family members and own property in Okaloosa County and I’d bet the farm that the HOA nazi’s are transplants from our Northern states. You showed a lot more restraint and respect than I would have during your stay there! That naked person would be a registered sex offender right now if it had been me! Also, I bet all the HOA “fees” are being used by the board or certain member(s) of the board to purchase the lots in the park. Pretty slick, using the owners $$$ to buy and control the park…
You said you like to keep one propane tank shutoff. There is a built in safety feature in the propane switch that will allow a minimum flow from the tank that is not selected when your main tank is empty. So leaving the spare tank on is a good thing. it will ensure propane refrigerators will not stop when both tanks are on.
I carry a .22 Gamo Maxxum Break-barrel pellet rifle, it's fun for target practice with a small metal target ( I love birds so I am never tempted to illegally shoot them) we take it with us when we travel. Walmart stocks them sometimes, they sell out fast. The Gamo Shadow Whisperer is a nice inexpensive pellet gun that they stock frequently. I also carry a Bo, a 6' hardwood martial arts staff and Jo, a 4' hardwood staff for hiking and exercise. The 6' Bo fits perfectly in my RV's tube bumper and is always ready when I am pumping gas. Google Bojutsu, you can always use it for walking and as a weapon, I also use mine as a simple machine such as a leaver/fulcrum and roller for moving heavy objects, it inexpensive and the oak one is durable. It builds incredible confidence and upper body strength.
Advice: BE sure to keep your Batterries up-to-date. (monitor them) - and especially in the cold season. - also, Make a keyhole and keep a manual key well hidden somewhere on the outside, even inside the rear bumper.
My mother always said a closed locked door keeps honest people honest, a crook will get in if they really wanted to. Lots of nice useful tips, even for us home bound folks, thanks for sharing them.
Pathetic that our country has become this way. Molotov cocktails were not daily mention before May.
Big 5 sells flashlights that are also stun guns. The light is bright and the current is pretty strong. The flashlight/stun gun is also rechargeable. My husband got me one for my birthday. Haven't had to use it but it makes me feel safer.
We've changed all our RV door handles with non-'master' entry locks... Now, all are 'single-key' entrys and no master key will work with 'em.. Good video Tom - very good points made..
So sorry this happened to you guys. Being threatened is so scary. Even if they were just trying to scare you, that's just wrong. What's so hard to just be kind!💖
If I might give a snip-it of advice, perhaps showcasing your security measures should be refrained from? You might also wish to open a case with the local FBI office regarding the death threats. There is no need to feel nervous about doing so either. Agents are quite nice and helpful concerning such matters. I know another RV youtuber whom had gone through similar circumstances. I am sad that you lovely folks had to deal with such a horrendous experience. Blessed be.
We installed Rvlocks on our house, too! Loved it and felt so much more safe. 🥰
One thing I would suggest is do what you can to change the appearance of your RV and other vehicles. If you talk to them at the motor vehicle department you might be able to get a whole new license tag numbers and have your name Hidden so only the police can see it (don’t know if this last little bit is possible but you can ask)!!
I'm so glad y'all put this vid up for us. It's not something that most of the folks I follow talk about. I'm glad to know that there is a fellow diabetic traveler out there. My whole family thinks I'm nuts for wanting to travel like y'all do but it's going to be the only way I will ever see the things I want to see. Our country has so many amazing places to see and things to do. Thank you for the info you freely offer. It's very much appreciated
Great video. Made a lot of good points. Most important is you got people thinking. Sorry you have to go through all of this. Be safe!
Never heard someone talk about safety before. Very helpful!
Good safety upgrades. Wishing you guys safe travels. Stay well. Best of luck to Logan as well.
I have several "I love my Rottweilers oh and canine security training decals as well as a recording of some Rottweilers trying to get out of a door and growling and barking that plays through a smaller counter Bose with bass adjusted just for that. Then you just jump around and claw on the door while dialing 911 and getting your protection device on the ready and shoes on. I travel alone often. I agree with visual and sound deterrents. It is human nature to flea first, giving you precious moments.
Sounds like you have it covered 😉, but be safe, remain vigilant, and carry a weapon...better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6...
@@sykwookiee I carry and I have other security. Never depend on a weapon alone.
Great video! I love all the products you used! Tom & Cheri please be safe & careful in your travels! Godspeed xo
I really like how the SimpliSafe works altogether with its many modules but how does SimpliSafe know which emergency location to contact when you guys are moving from place to place? Also, is there any integration with Alexa or the Google Home systems? We have 32 Ft Class C and I'm definitely going to get one of these systems.
We are still new to the Simplisafe system, but I've read that it will integrate with Alexa and Google Home. You do have to update your address in your Simplisafe account when you arrive to a new location so dispatch knows where you are.
Florida must be the worst state in the union.
Nah, Komifornia wins that dubious award hands down!
Truth.
More power too you three. Some times you just can't catch a break right? Love you guys. Be Safe.
I have been using Simplisafe since they started and Love them!! No contract required and $15 a momth .
So sorry y’all are going through this. Glad to see your being extra safe, reporting this idiot and sharing your safety tips with us. Love your channel, very helpful information, funny and always look forward to seeing your next video. ❤️👍😊 thanks for sharing and safe travels
BTW 🐕 I’ve been told by security people at work to place a large dog food bowl by the back dog as a deterrent and place security alarm stickers on windows n doors will help deter crooks. I’ve used alarm stickers on my RV. “Your being video recorded” thanks guys for the great tips 👍😊
You might check into getting Life 360 loaded on your phones so anyone on your list can check at anytime, where your at. You can check in on your Life 360 which would alert members on your list, times and locations. We've had it for several years. You can even follow that person on roadways and even speed. We just have family members on our list....... Not sure how many programs they offer but ours is free...... When we had our class A, I always carried my handgun in the nightstand, you can also get a Federal Gun License but it has to be renewed every year. I would assume it's still the same, that was several years ago, you might check.
Prayers for your safety.
You may want to contact CarolynsRV as she has this problem.
Yes,
The person was found & arrested....
The FBI got involved. The local police contacted the FBI..
nomadic fanatic had a stalker too ... dont remember if he was caught or not ... but i know he feels safe within his home on the road ... god i wish these stupid stalkers would get a life and leave us youtubers ALONE
@@johnhines3591 ppl seem to forget that finding your IP address is soooooo easy!!
Hollow point sends a message loud and clear.
Thank you, never considered all the things you’ve talked about. Definite eye opener. As always stay safe.
Probably doesn't even drive. Sitting in grandma's cellar.
@@hendersoninstagram7778 anyway to get ahold of the gentleman instead of Instagram ? Thank you
@@debbiblakeslee2373 Hope you didn't. If you ever seen posts about investing or bitcoin on a completely unrelated channel, it's a scam.
So sad that people are like that.. please be safe.. and thanks for the tips..
Tom & Cheri, you guys are wonderful and super kind. Love ya and your vids. Stay safe.
