Are you more prepared than Marcus?(If so, how?)

[Exejpgwmv]

This video got me thinking:

So, as the title implies, just share how you think you're(currently) more prepared than Marcus is.
I'll go first:

1)I lock my f*cking doors and windows, when I'm the house at least.

2)I don't put the equivalent of a Zelda puzzle between me and my self defense weapon.(Which is a metal baseball bat because I probably should not, and legally cannot, own a firearm.)

3)I have a dog and a cat, both of which flip their sh*t when someone even so much as stands next to the front yard fence.

You are not limited to three reasons.

Remember, only the things you have now, not things you had or will get.

Like, if something were to happen at this very moment, would you be more prepared?(And how?)

Not trying to be mean but, your "house" sounds like a fortress.

Honestly, since I live a peaceful life in a still quite peaceful country (compared to some others), I don't think I'm that much more prepared than Marcus. I do live in a building on third floor, so there is still a chance I might not be the one they attack. Also, the building's entrance door were recently replaced with heavy pvc ones that can be opened from the outside only with a key. Our own door has two locks and a chain, all three in use at night and these doors can only be opened with a key from outside, even if we forget to lock from the inside. Chain can only be removed from inside, you can't even push anything through the gap, since my dad added padding to the door, so there is no gap actually.
Weapons we have none, unless you count our collection of kitchen knives, including recently bought and very sharp chef knife, and dad's tools (drills, saws, etc.). Oh, and bathroom is full of stuff that should not be getting into eyes. Might be even some that should not be getting onto skin either.
Umm, the metal floor lamp we have in each room might be used as weapon, the base is quite heavy, and the stand can be easily unscrewed.
And lastly, my dad is quite large, still quite strong and is a war veteran, so I gather still has better reflexes than average guy.
But I think most important thing is that if they come to kill me, I'm more than willing to drag the bastards to hell with me. :tongue:

We've got double locks on all our doors.

No burglar bars in our windows so chances are they'll get in that way.

Luckily I have a golf club next to my bed, a stainless steel pan in the kitchen, steel hangers in the dining room, a coat hanger by the front door, plenty of lego all over the house, deos and candles in the bathroom , etc.

And I'm crazy.

In other words, I suppose I'm less prepared than Marcus.

Where I'm living, the most I have would be locks and bolts on doors, no handle on the outside door; burglar alarm system and locked garage.

As for house weapons, there are a selection of very sharp knives in the kitchen; and I doubt my cats would be good at house defence if there was an intrudor:tongue: But I live in a peacful area anyway, so I hope I wouldn't have any problem.
If somethng did happen though, I could hide in my walk in wardrobe and lock the door while I phone for help.

As for where I grew up, there's a electronic gate with a buzzer and intercom for visitors and security cameras; locked garages, all doors have locks, and an alarm system. No dogs though, and can't say we've ever had to use any of that anyway. I swear my dad got that gate and intercom installed just to mess with me when I return home.

I'm so prepared that you can't possibly be more prepared than my preparedness... Pudding.

I live in a village where nothing happens without everyone knowing... I also can't watch the video on my phone so i don't know what this video is about... lockpicking? burglary? alien invasions? more pudding?

It's about some father of the family that forgets to lock the door one evening and intruder gets in. He is in his bedroom and needs to save his family, but the gun in the drawer has a lock on the trigger, key is somewhere else, so he makes quick dashes from bedroom to basement to bathroom, all the while everything that could go wrong is going wrong cause the guy should have done this or that in advance while maintaining perfectly rational thinking while his loved ones are in danger. In the end he is standing with the intruder in front of him holding his daughter, and he raises the gun to shoot him... only he forgot to check if there are any bullets. The end.

Oh well...

1. the odds of that happening in this English village is very very slim

2. i'd batter the **** out of him with a metal pole before he even managed to get into the living room ... I'm a little insane you see.
