 Hey there, NJRoot22.com here with a little public service announcement. Sort of, I'm going to do an ongoing series here about situational awareness and, well actually it's a general be prepared category and today's inaugural video, actually we did run a couple of days ago, it was kind of a guest post about what how to be prepared for winter snow and you might see a link here, I'm going to start experimenting with YouTube boxes for other related videos. But today's video is going to be about being prepared and its situational awareness. When you go visit places like a shopping mall, now most people when they go to a shopping mall, they go into the parking lot, they buy their stuff and then they get out. What we like to do every time we go to some place new especially, but periodically with our regular shopping locations is that we like to, you know, we drive around the parking lot, we like to see how the parking lot is laid out and as you can see all the store fronts are what most people see when you go, when they go shopping, they go in and they leave. But it's kind of important also to know how the entire facility or property is laid out because there may be times when you may find yourself in the back of a shopping center, let's say there's an emergency and you have to use a fire exit or there could be multiple reasons why it's helpful to know what else is around there. I mean it's just common sense, whenever you go somewhere new, so what we like to do is we always drive around the back of these strip malls or any mall, anywhere we've been, I've been there in the back. It's important to go see how the site is laid out, what is adjacent to those properties, are there other exits, you'll be surprised that many of these shopping centers have secret back cave entrances or exits that might come in handy if the situation warrants it. You also, if you drive around the back, you can see if there's something brewing that's up to no good. I mean none of these things have ever happened to us, but bad things usually happen out of sight first, so it's good to just do a scope out of the sites that you visit and no. Look on maps too, I have to say, go on, you can use any map program or even a paper map if that's something you still like to use, but look at the different exits and entry points to a facility and if you ever need to run away or somewhere, you know where you are, you're not just running blindly into unknown territory, that's what war generals do, they know their surroundings and I think it's very important to always check out behind the malls and strip malls you go to, you never know and it's just like finding the, when you go into a store, when we hear nowhere the emergency exits are, you know, there's nothing wrong or stupid about checking out the back at least once. I like doing it multiple times for some bizarre reason, because I think it's fun, it mixes things up instead of just being on autopilot, the ground hockey, every day I'm going to do the same thing, you know, enrich your mind and get, expand your mind as they say. So that's it, I mean, that's our announcement or PSA for today, is to always check out what you don't see, you may be a hero one day and hopefully you won't need to be, but I think it's a really good idea to understand what your environment is. So I hope you found this useful, subscribe and check the battle list, they say, I don't know, I mean, I have like seven subscribers, but we're going to get more as time goes on. Have a nice week, weekend and so on, bye.
