    I have ALWAYS said while it's okay to tell people where you've been do NOT tell people where you are and, certainly, not where you're going.

      Old Dog Paul had a viewer show up at his place uninvited once. The viewer was harmless, but Paul talked about how off putting that was and when he moved he made sure not to publicize where exactly his new place was at.

      Southside Chicago is not dangerous! All shootings and crimes are personal wars it has nothing to do with the general public! I use to deliver all over Chicago as a semi truck driver especially in the hoods and I got nothing but love even in the black hoods.. I love Chicago it's a beautiful place, I worked with Hirshboch in Joliet

      @@agent.86 I do not know if you actually live in the red zone area of the Southside of Chicago where drive by shootings often happens and innocent folks become casualties. This area is called Chiraq. Thats the dangerous part of the city. I lived in Downers Grove, IL for 34yrs. I also Lived for a year in the city of Chicago by 53rd and Rockwell in the early 90s… We moved to the suburbs due to safety concerns…

    Well said. He basically did all the Donts without doing anything illegal 😢
    It's like anyone moving to inner city Chicago and making a YT channel. Actually he was safer as he got a 3 week warning before he was kidnapped. He said so himself in one of his videos so this isn't gossip.
    I don't think we'd get a 3 week warning in dangerous US cities

    Mindanao is safe if you know where to go. You must have your lifelines too. Davao is safe, Bukidnon is safe and Cagayan De Oro is safe. We live in Southern Bukidnon. But know your people and have a reputation. Zamboanga, Cotabato and ARMM are not safe and NO GO ZONES

    When an hour south of CDO I was being looked over and discussed by muslims. I was never threatened, but, out of respect, I stayed clothed completely and out of fear, I left a few days early. No need to take extra chances.

    Just wanted to state that the province Zamboange Del Norte stretches up to Dipolog and thats where the ferrys from Dumaguete dock in a town just north called Dapitan. So traveling to Mindanao by ferry lands you north in the same province. It extends up the elephants trunk from near the tip to the top of the head. the back of the head being my wife's province. The jaw and a slice of the trunk being mostly muslem, the province my wife is from being Christian and the province where this happened being mulem south and Christian north.
    Away from the shore up in the mountains is where NPA can be found on most Pilippines Islands and don't typically go after expats unless you break the wrong girlsvheart or dishoner some flipino. The kidnappers are typically a Muslim group like Alkida, Abusaif, Isis, etc... In Davao they have kidnapped from the Island just off shore at a resort. Dont think Security Guards will protect you. Often they are paid under minimum wage and have fixer licenses and no training. Often no bullets in their issued guns.

      Good.
      #1) Foreigners can find at least 3 countries in every continent cheaper, better infrastructure, better healthcare, less toxicity disguised as culture, less corrupt, safer with much less foreigner abuse than where you're now!!!
      And, that's an understatement!
      The risk is TOO HIGH!
      The juice is ABSOLUTELY, UNEQUIVOCALLY NOT worth the squeeze!
      #2) The 2 reasons you give don't justify traveling 8 to 10 thousand miles away. You can get better quality bread closer to home without having to go get parasitic bread that far.
      And, again, that's an understatement!
      #3) WHAT does a man gain for risking ALL his savings, buying land/condo, building a house, opening a business, paying university tuitions, paying a girlfriend salary/allowance, cohabitating, marrying, etc...
      that he can't get closer to home???
      ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!
