Season 3: What Do You Want to See?

[Michael Janich]

Thinking positively and hoping that OC will give us a shot at season 3, what would you guys like to see content-wise? I know there have been a few suggestion threads already (thanks!), but let's dig deeper. Also, what aspects of seasons 1 and 2 did you like best and want to see continued/expanded? Was there anything you absolutely hated that you don't want to see again?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Stay safe,

Mike

It would be great if you could devote some time to mindset. I know you have talked a lot about awareness but more about staying in the fight until it's over, even if injured.

The show is great and you all should be proud of the series.

I would love to see an hour long show.

Not two 30 minute shows shoved into one time slot, but rather take the time to expand coverage of the situations and tactics that would normally be so limited because of the time constraints of a 30 minute show.

I like anything that makes my wife want to watch. While I can always learn something new, or be open to having ideas reinforced, I feel (and my wife is beginning to realize) that she is unprepared and panic would freeze her in any situation. After a recent mid-day home invasion in a friends house (in our 6-year FBI's Safest City) my wife stated that we didn't have a plan. I informed her that I did and that I'd informed her of this plan on many occasions. Now, she's interested and I started her on Season 1, episode 1 of the DVDs. She's interested now and realizes that Irvine's safety bubble doesn't include a fence to keep bad guys out. I realize that you have to have balance to keep guys watching too, but that seemingly remedial stuff is awfully important to many of our families' safety. Keep it up and tell Outdoor that we still think this is still a vital show.

How about a little more instruction for those individuals that have mobility issues. On a cane, wheelchair,,,etc.
Maybe even some sugestions on ways to conceal carry with mobility issues. Just my 2 cents worth.

Very good idea.

First of all, great show!  What would be helpful would be advice from (hopefully reformed) criminals on how to prevent becoming a victim and what would deter them or de-escalate a situation.  Their first hand experience from that perspective might help us with our own best defense.  I am sure you have interviewed many for just that reason, but personally, I would very much like to see you ask questions to better understand the criminals motives, fears and way of thinking.  More importantly, to see your team of regulars and guest experts break down the responses and use that as a basis for techniques, practices and proper mindsets.
Keep up the great work!  I buy stuff from Midway to support you (and cause it is good stuff and priced fairly.)

Love the show I never miss it, but i would like to see more about what could be done if in the great outdoors. Maybe tools, how to handle an injury and over looked gear. I have seen people assume that nothing could go wrong outdoors and act as if they were in ther neighborhoods taking a walk. I'm more affraid of two legged predators than four legged one.

I guess this probably isn't in your scope, but I'd be interested in what types of stuff can be done to "fortify" a  house short of bared windows and armored doors.

For instance one of my house window is on the front porch and aside from outside lighting I can't think of anything to block entry.   

I also am a bit hearing impared and would like a non-subscription alarm system.  Something wireless that could be self installed.  I'd guess motion sensors at the right places...but don't know enough about how they work to determine what the right places are.

Also, some coverage of negotiating difficult home layouts.  for instance, my bedroom is on the second floor and I've pretty much decided that there is nothing that would get me to go down those stairs should there be an intruder down there.  Is there any way to keep your legs from getting shot to pieces?   I guess it would be about as hard for that intruder to get up the steps with me sitting at the top waiting for them.

Also, "outside the box" types of internal home protection.  We had a thread a long time ago and the use of strong lighting as a deterrent to prevent an intruder from entering a hallway.  Any more of this? 

Thanks

Maybe show us inexpensive ways, to make house or apartment more impervious to break ins or home invasions. Not everyone can afford to put in a safe room, or if you live in an apartment, you might not be authorized to modify inside apartment and the cheep hollow doors that are inside. Not all of us can afford a house either.

But I love your show.
I just hope there will be a third season !!!!!!???

Take Care,
