oh man oh man what a beautiful spring day look what we're gonna put in
yep smoke detectors
well they're terribly easy to install all you gotta do is put that in
and line up the notches here and twist it to where you like it
these have lights in them and they also communicate to each other so if one goes
off all of them give the announcement master
bedroom this is the master bedroom unfortunately they don't have uh boat
terms on them this is only a test the alarm will sound
the alarm is loud the test starts in 10 seconds got 10 seconds to cancel ten
nine eight seven six five four i hope i could activate it to
do that remotely one this is only a test you said that
smoke oh god that is loud
testing carbon monoxide jesus
just a moment testing smoke my other ones are testing now too
and she'll do that automatically too um you don't have to actually activate it
it does it like once a month or something like that once a week
and of course they come with a cell phone app this cell phone app makes
sense to me it's not like you know they put cell phone apps on everything your
toaster thank you yeah anything but this makes
sense because when everything looks good thank you when she senses smoke on the
boat i can be anywhere and i'll get the alarm
here on my phone so it's a fantastic thing and if i have one
of them go off you can bet i'm going to call the fire department
you assign names to each of the detectors
so it'll tell you where the spoke actually is
unfortunately they don't have cargo hold so this is
downstairs ready downstairs and that light will come on when it goes
off so that you actually have a lit path out of here
ready in the kids room press to test sorry crew you get to be kids for a real
test
heads up there's smoke
emergency downstairs
emergencies
there's smoke emergency
downstairs there's smoke downstairs
the smoke alarm is over and there's all my announcements on my
phone beautiful now that is my kind of safety knowing
what's going on you know if you know me i don't profess to be a proponent of
lots and lots of professional protection equipment my
plan is to know what the hell is happening stay
aware the ppe is just to make sure that you
um have a little safeguard when you you screwed up already and you're not aware
this little gadget is wonderful too it's a ring
camera now it's a doorbell as well as a camera but it also is hooked up to your
phone so it records everything that it sees as
movement out here and they're sell for less than a hundred
bucks on amazon i'll put links up for them
that is an awareness thing it'll keep your valuables where they should be
because there are lots of people in this world who are not very situationally
aware they screw up and make mistakes bobby
little bobby is one example of that he came by uh obviously a little uh
strung out and stole our ring camera now the cool thing is the ring cameras
will be replaced free all you got to do is open up a
police report send it into them they send us that brand new camera out
there so 100 bucks for safeguarding your valuables
i think it's well worth it and did the police apprehend little bobby
no i guess i got better things to do so we put the video up on facebook
and one of his friends recognized him and
then betsy found his dad who's also on facebook
who has a friend in common with one of her friends and you know it's just
bobby's going through a little trouble spot in his life and
made some bad choices so it's all about personal responsibility
little bobby actually took responsibility for it he brought the
camera back you know without the battery but i don't think he
made it home with the battery but anyway amazon's getting their old camera back
you can buy them refurbished for less than 100 bucks very worthwhile
and the smoke detectors you can buy them for about 120 bucks
they're expensive but listen guys even if you got to buy a seven dollar smoke
detector buy it okay the ones that you probably
have already if you haven't changed them out in 10
years they're probably not working or not reliable
so go ahead and replace those things it's being responsible you know i'm not
one that's much for scare tactics but the truth is the world is a dangerous
place and i admire the people that go out there
with the sense of courage and adventure that it takes to do that
but i think we also get lulled into the uh
the thought that it's being made safe for us there's the u.s coast guard
narrowed by the police and fire and they all make it safe for us but
a lot of times that's just overblown it's really our responsibility for the
safety that we have case in point the dive boat out in
santa barbara uh 34 people lost their lives on that thing
smoke inhalation there was should have been somebody on
firewatch there wasn't you know we trust that they're going to do that
there should have been a working smoke detection system
there obviously wasn't and you know we thought that was going to be taken care
of for us but the truth is when you get on a boat
you go down through one hatch and there's 34 people down there in the
bottom of that boat with you and the lights go out
and you lose consciousness because of sleep um
you're pretty much on your own and when the fire broke out
just above that you know egress point from below deck
that was primarily one egress point there was one other
just a hatch above somebody's bunk but how you gonna find that remember it if
you didn't even bother the look when you got on board the boat
and it wasn't long before the flames were over that hatch as well there was
no escape into the engine room the engine room had no fire
you know if they just had a door going back it's just sad
you know none of that had to happen if one of those persons had gone on that
boat and looked at that fire system and said yeah that's okay i'll
reach up press the test button and nothing happened
well that's something that ought to be taken care of and maybe somebody would
say hey i'll stay awake tonight until we get back to the dock to make sure that
you know everything's fine it's all you got to do is take some
responsibility for your situation go out there and live life god enjoy it
do something risky and dangerous but don't count on other people to be taking
care of your sex okay that's really something that you
got to do on your own that's being responsible
and it's sad i mean a lot of good people a lot of good lives
snuffed out just because
just because
you
