Description

📕 HOLD THE HOUSE ($17): the 30-minute plan that fixes the biggest tells on this list tonight. Chapter 1. 👉 https://wadeguide.netlify.app Twenty habits I still run around my own house that my wife catches me doing before I even notice -- the yard, the mail, the timer, the car that hasn't moved. 🧭 WHAT'S IN THIS ONE What I drilled into this list is the read a stranger casing a street actually makes before they ever touch a door. None of this is a lock-picking video and none of it is a break-in method -- six categories, twenty small corrections, the kind of stuff that makes a house boring to look at. Pick one and tell me in the comments which one you're already doing. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 Cold open 0:45 Who I am 3:41 Category 1: Perimeter (Habits 1-4) 6:38 Category 2: OPSEC (Habits 5-7) 9:01 Category 3: Pattern of Life (Habits 8-11) 11:28 Category 4: Night and Light Discipline (Habits 12-14) 14:02 Category 5: Route Variation and the 5-and-25 (Habits 15-17) 15:56 Category 6: Buddy System (Habits 18-20) 📖 THE MANUALS No single field manual gets cited by number in this one. The habits here are generalized situational-awareness practice -- perimeter checks, pattern-of-life reads, route variation -- not a specific numbered doctrine. Where a future video pulls a habit straight from a manual, I'll name it here. ⚠️ A WORD ON ADVICE I'm not walking your specific house and I'm not a licensed security consultant -- take what fits, skip what doesn't, and call a local professional or your police department's crime-prevention unit for anything past a common-sense fix. Wade Merrill is a fictional character. No real person is depicted or impersonated. #VeteranHabits #MilitaryHabits #HomeSecurity
