Retired Navy SEAL Explains How to Prepare for Dangerous Situations | Tradecraft | WIRED 

Funniest thing I've seen all day

“I need to speak to the manager... I need all points of entry and exits. Windows, fire escapes and any hidden corridors that are hidden”

Can I have some kitchen books and duct tape as well

🤣🤣🤣

bro i love u🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The most important part of a soldier is his eye.

Gonedridge that's why you wear eye protection but no ear plugs

@@gonderage Just one though

Yeah, also, it might not be gunshots at all. A lot of people can't tell the difference between fireworks, gunshots, engines backfiring, etc... Because they've rarely, or have never heard a real gunshot outside of movies and games. If you see someone with a gun though, you'll know.

how can you tell?

Ama Lau You described me,,,

Stop watching me.

😆true

Cracked me up

You dont have to call me out like that

amogus

@@pincopallino1524 OMG

Yeah but they're not very common, and they don't particularly care about you. No offense but your life is too boring. (Statistically speaking. I don't know you personally. But most people are boring compared to a Navy Seal.)

@@Oberon4278 why would you even comment that all of a sudden lol.

@@Oberon4278 almost everything is the same everyday lame or not

LOL

legit lol'ed

He'd probably see it coming.

That would be a bad idea

He'd probably sense something was wrong beyond the door and gets up in the air vents while everyone is waiting

E w can’t relate

It seems he doesn't visit r/2meirl4meirl often, huh

@@katiedavis2606 lmao

Explains why he's alive to make this video :3

Who isn't?

@Perry The Platypus clint:starts putting tiles in books

No one can actually prepare for or plan for death except people can plan for life after death

😄 I feel ya buddy 👍

I was the 1,000th like! Yea! Never done that.

It's not paranoia if they're actually after you. Pick pockets look for people that aren't "paranoid".

In today's world there is no such thing as being too paranoid.

Nevermind your paranoia... organize your "stuff" so you can locate your duct tape, books, ceramic tiles, spare sock, rolled quarters, newspaper, salt and pepper really quickly.

Sounds like a dine & dash moment.

Cause hes gotta hit it and quit it real fast

Better throw the salt in her eyes, you never know.

Me at parties!

Joke's on you; he knew the best line of exit while driving around looking for a parking spot.

U are right

Can I ask, how does one become a ranger? I know, you are a green beret. But do you have to be enlisted for awhile before being eligible for ranger school or rasp?

@@marttram2183 To become an Army Ranger with the 75th, you can enlist with option 40 on your contract or volunteer for the selection process at any point in your career if you qualify. There’s tons of online resources on what qualifies you as a candidate and how to get there. I plan on become a ranger as well, best of luck to you brother.

Even a bad plan is better than no plan...

and i feel like it's fcked up that the average citizen has to be prepared for active shooting when entering an elementary school.

Agreed, in fact in situations like that tragic fire with the pyrotechnics display at that rock concert many years back, god this is a “perfect” yet obviously horrifically tragic display of *exactly* what he’s referring to. 80% of attendees fled to the exact same door they came in with. Sadly, just as he described, this created a bottleneck and everybody was stuck there, or trampled, and very few escaped, the rest perished right there, after being stuck in that exact bottleneck *for the duration of the fire* never able to get through. Those who survived came in other exits (band members, employees) and the few that were either nearby or noticed that there was at least one visible exit door, with no bottleneck of a frantic mob. I’m sure there’s an “excellent” write up on how that tragedy went down, and sadly just how many alternative escape routes were widely available, yet unknown to 80% of people. Again, almost everyone will subconsciously head to the door they entered to get out, even in an emergency. The band, white something, white snake? Sorry I don’t recall but if you Google pyrotechnic fire club tragedy, it’s sure to come up. Couldn’t be a more clear example of why he harps on identifying exists than that tragedy.

Use the restaurant kitchen exit...genius. 🤔

my dad always taught me this, whenever somethings bad is happening dont go with the crowd, bc then as you said it'll put you on so much more risk by just going with the crowd

Advices like not going with the herd is optional, why? What if it's a mass shooting and shooters are just spray n' praying? You can use others as a meat shield, Sure it sounds gruesome and villainous but in this world, It's survival of the fittest. Though correct me if im wrong on that move because im still just a 16 year old.

I thought that was just me!!! Well ..well...well!!

@@larrysouthern5098 My wife can't stand it. But she gets it.

i often check the thickness of the tables where i am and whether they are secured to the floor in case they might be useful as cover

That's how I roll.

Knowledge is lightweight portable and worth having.. You laugh , until it's happening and then you have to play catch up.. No one has to know WHY you just looked around but you . Be safe.😎👍

Just do a walk through and check the kitchen by glancing through the door. I do this for two reasons, I want to see the condition of the food prep area and I want to see the path through the kitchen to that exit.

In many jurisdictions they are required to be posted on the wall with the fire exit routes marked.

Or just always know where the exit is.

Most floor plans are on the walls of buildings.

McGyver777ATGMAIL if I see a dirty kitchen, then I know the food is real

Zaira C Cause of the weak, faint squeaking of the wheels. They were like a contradiction to the content of the video.

I laughed because it reminded me of the giant CRT’s they would wheel in when you watched a video in school, only it was an LED TV and completely unnecessary to have something that big and rigid lkl

Cause the situation was weirdly akward😂😭

They edited it so there was this extremely slow, determined pacing to it most often found in slapstick comedy. Basically, they made it look funny, and it genuinely was. ;)

he even takes a quick glance down like ''why the f... didn't you put some oil on those wheels, ah, too late now'' 2:01

He does

He leaves out the good stuff

@@berfincoban6774 what is it?

@ClintEmersonSEAL

cool but what about the duct tape is that 6th grade?

The long sock is way more important. The best defense is a good offense.

Kevlar can be bought in a sheet , or small section that can be added to a book bag.. ( place it were it protects you not your books.)

FFS lmao

😂💀💀

Badass lol

LMFAO HAHAHAHA

@Devbo Slice Lol thx

Boot sock and a roll of quarters in a purse. . .brilliant! 🧐

I'm weak lol

appleator... I was too busy wondering where I would quickly get my hands on some ceramic tiles when the active shooter enters the restaurant... and how quickly I could duct tape a vest together.

😁

@@bobinthewest8559 that tip is really for more of a SHTF situation than an active shooter situation. what do tons of houses have in them? ceramic tile on counters, in bathrooms etc and books so in a SHTF situation where you run the risk of needing some body armor now you know something thatll stop bullets

lool

You didn't see it all???? Better watch the video again...

@@bobinthewest8559 - I'm trying to figure out if my concentration was sufficient that I took it all in ... and understood what's good and bad. Just a minute , I need to answer the door .... truck has arrived with my tiles, books, duct-tape and used cellphones ... I'm hoping used cellphones will be OK gotta try and save a few bucks on the Cost Of Living !

Oh he's in the closet all right.

Lmao

That's taking it to the extreme. Just be observant and watch for signs.

BOPE ? GRUMEC ?

"Yeah, but you won't"

😂😂😂🤣🤣

yeah are we playing a tile game tonight

😂😂😂😂 omg

😂😂

when a shoot out happens, bullets could hit the floor or the wall and break the ceramic tiles, so pick those up and use ;)

And fishing-weights

High end restrautns use them on their walls of someplace maybe the bathroom 😊

that 1.75 in quarters makes me feel deadly... not poor.

@@cuong2520 And the books?

Maps are to scared to roll up on him.

Hahahaha!

Caught that too 😎👍

I bet Chuck Norris could do that ... and better !

@@nornironcustoms when a map see Chuck Norris it unroll itself :)

The most valuable lesson of this is: He belonged to the best trained people in the US and there are a couple hundred like him at all times. But, since 2001 the US is getting nowhere, neither in Afghanistan nor basically anywhere else. Even with people like him (or maybe even, because...?). Sure, occasionally there is some success, like the killing of Osama bin Laden. But in the end, who cares.

Agreed - if nothing else, back to the wall, note the exits. Do that little snoop to the back/restroom area he recommends (which you’re gunna do at some point anyway, just do it first) and oops your way into the entry to the kitchen to maybe catch a glimpse at the emergency exit door. Also note the large walk-in fridge all kitchens have.. oh, and friggin butcher knives. How did this guy not think of any of this, particularly when “evaluating” a restaurant!? I know literally nothing and have much better plans thinking about it for 60 seconds. How?

@@rick15666 ... The walk in freezer is a serious dead end.

@@MothaLuva we have no goal anywhere just oil.

"bonus room"

Hmmm I live in a 25 ft RV. I discovered any wall is a exit, well propane leak in last one showed me that I could go through any wall in a trailer. Gives me good distance=time=safety. well kinda safe any way. Point is I lived through 3 hit attempts so far. Now I kill any thing comes with in 1000yds of me. Even cops call ahead now.

i always carry books and duct tape with me xD JK

every time i notice a new bit of tech i'm my house i'm all over it like magpies on the crown jewels

Yikes

Roflmao 🤣

They painted the whole restaurant I worked in and I didn’t notice and stil don’t know what colour all the walls were before they painted 🙈

just get some adhd. you'll notice everything about everything except the fact you're late :)

dasilverwelshman Yes. Grab some o' that good ol' ducktape.

@@ishitamisra4585 I think you mean Duct Tape.

@@ishitamisra4585 Ducktape is also a brand name for duct tape, so either one is technically correct.

Pencils for becoming John Wick

Pencils so you can show the shooter a magic trick.

Ahaha!!

I don't get it

Same. I had to rewatch it lol

6

There is a previous scene in the parking lot

pretty self explanatory i would say xD

He shows you how to hold it and clearly indicates the pointy end. Hold it with the tip like you want to carry a pair of scissors safely and then stab down at whoever is trying to get you.

They also held back on the full preparation of the "nail bat".

Would you like some grated parmesan with that?

Throwing the salt and pepper container with an open/loose cap sounds interesting to me too

Don't throw, mash. Be aggressive. This person is trying to kill you. Rub it in like you're a bully rubbing dirt in someone's face. Make it burn.

@@Saltpork305 And then the person was shot before they got anywhere near the killer.

Could be worse, i for some reason was thinking about putting it in my mouth and and spitting it all at him

Deal

The animal

I've see some one made a crossbow outta newspaper

And how's about a lil SALT TO THE EYES!!!!

Killer: what you gonna do? Me: *BANG*

And my date wondered why I demanded she give me one of her high heels. LOL.

If you're talking , YOU'RE probably not going to make it OUT.

If there's a fan around and a bag of salt or another irritant, like chili powder, it's actually a good idea to set a trap if there's time.

@@sam8192 It's also an aphorism commonly repurposed by antisemmitic conspiracy theorists to imply that Jews are like...everyone's enemy, or something. Because """logic""".

I think he should be in the movie. Doing stunts.

Hollywood never thought of that.

preferably a new Bourne movie ^_^

He wants this too. That, and more corporate clients asking him to teach their employees to look for ceramic tiles they can tape to books.

Sarah-Ashley Boling I thought the same thing lol. But I also thought of myself. The point he was making is: don’t be average.

You’re not supposed to take them off otherwise you’re vulnerable when you sleep.

Hang on, what!? You sleep? Well there's your first mistake there, even I can see that. The worst enemy of situational awareness has to be unconsciousness. Sorry dude, I fear your books are going to prove completely useless. At least tell me you sleep with a handful of salt!!!

And a great excuse to get out of gymn

What's funny is there's an anime called JoJo's Bizarre Adventure where he literally survives a multi-knife throwing attack by having books secretly taped to different parts of his body underneath his clothes, lol.

so funny!!

He said parking lot, not gas pumps.

@@jamillx Where did you get gas pump? His comment says parking lot

to be fair, Bourne didn't say that he was in good shape just that he knew how to handle himself which I assume would mean fight.

@@WILD__THINGS there are 4 cars at the gas pumps, they don't show the parking lot

@@_Atzin Correct. Bourne identified that the man was having another drink (handed to him by the left-handed waitress) while maintaining good posture. He is heavy set, but knows himself well enough to handle himself.

I mean, he did use books for some reason, that cheeky dude he's onto something

Ahhhhhhhhh, that's wrong. But, touché because i laughed and its true.

This was my first thought.

nah most kids are too interested in their phones to see anything going on around them.

@@nitronate9846 well I think even phones can be used in place of cremaic tiles. Put two smartphones between two books and duct tape it. Solid body armour. Of course they will have to be aware of the situation to act.

Tbh, let's say the shooter was still far away and you were trapped in a dead end area/room, then if you had duct tape and books on you, then you could quickly make body armour in time. I honestly think the body armour strat is the last option, since running and hiding should be the first thing you do. Also, if you were trapped in a dead end area with no escape routes or hiding places, then your option would probably be to fight the aggressor/shooter.. so if you have time to make body armour, then it might help protect your vital organs as you try to bring down the attacker.

Kristen I’m making a joke...let’s not get too technical.

Mix some salt into the pocket sand!

this sounds like Deadpool 3

Building codes require kitchen exits in the event of fire.

Plus it's totally impractical to get food deliveries in the quantities required for a restaurant through the main part of the building.

Well now you can duct tape some pans together and raid the spice rack😜

Him: takes him down with a double tap.

He's probably planning on how to kill her if she attacked him.

@@stephlrideout video games are stories that we live and help progress specially open world ones. They aren't bad they are great if you know which ones to play.

IKR, when he is giving us the basic intel, floorplans, exits, emergency escapes, etc, all I was thinking of was playing Hitman games lol.

@@afrocoolio25 yeah specially when he pointed the bar as hard cover 😂

Mohammad Don’t forget that the salt is a heat action in some of the Yakuza games

These days, for me, it's binder clips.
