More of them happen in broad daylight than at night, while the family is at work. Only about 1 in 8 is ever solved, so what gets taken almost never comes back. These three plain-English books show you how to close the gaps a burglar looks for, so your home is the one he skips, starting tonight. Three books, 700+ pages. A one-time $47.

New Mexico's rate is ten times New Hampshire's. But even New Hampshire logged 678 burglaries last year. Lower risk is not no risk, and a burglar decides which house is easy in about the time it takes to walk past it.

Real comments from the YouTube channel these books grew out of.
Thirty-five years on both sides of the lock.
I spent thirty-five years with a ring of keys on my belt. I've picked locks folks swore couldn't be picked, installed the thousand-dollar systems in the big houses on the hill, and re-keyed trailers for widows who counted out my fee in ones. I grew up rural, taught the old self-reliant ways by my dad. I've owned guns my whole life, run traplines, and thrown half the gadgets I ever bought into the drawer where dead gadgets go.
So when somebody tries to sell me fear by the month, I've got a pretty good idea whether it's worth the money. Usually it isn't. My one rule for all of it is simple: does it actually work, and is it worth the money? That's the whole reason I wrote these books.
Take a full 30 days with the whole library. Do the 10-Minute Walk, make the ten-dollar fix, use the checklists. If you don't feel safer and smarter about protecting your home, email me and I'll refund every cent — no questions asked — and you keep the books. That's my handshake on it.
$47 once. No subscription. Yours forever.
That's what most people think until it happens. More break-ins happen in daylight than at night, in ordinary neighborhoods, while people are at work. Even New Hampshire, the lowest-risk state in the country, logged 678 burglaries in 2024. Check your state above. The fixes take an afternoon, and the whole library costs less than one month of a monitoring contract.
Not at all. Volumes 1 and 2 — the locks, lights, decoys, gadgets and habits that do most of the work — have nothing to do with firearms. Volume 3 covers guns for those who choose to own one, safely and legally, but it's clear a firearm isn't right for every household. The vast majority of your safety comes from the cheap, deterrent-first steps.
Yes. There's a whole section on no-drill, landlord-proof security you can take with you when you move — portable door braces, window pins, alarms, decoys, and the habits that cost nothing.
The opposite. The whole point is to replace fear and monthly fees with cheap, proven fixes. Every number comes from real sources (the FBI's 2024 crime data, Department of Justice burglary research, and a study of 422 convicted burglars), and I tell you plainly where not to spend your money.
Instant digital download right after checkout — three PDFs plus the printable toolkit, in your inbox within about a minute. Read them on any phone, tablet, or computer, or print them for the shelf. One-time payment; no subscription, ever.
