Sometimes the secret to stashing your valuables is as simple as a hollowed out book. In other cases, whatever it is you’re intending to protect may be highly confidential information that requires increased security. A hollow book just won’t do. This book isn’t hollow; in it, we will discuss various hiding places, from the simple and straight forward to the complex – a place to hide your cash from your light-fingered roommate or a place where your family heirlooms may be safe from the most cunning of jewelry thieves. We will also look at secret hiding places specific to travel, as tourists are often a prime target for petty theft or burglary. The use of secret hiding places isn’t limited to hiding items of value; hiding places can also be used to conceal weapons. Carrying a weapon on your person at all times will allow you to defend yourself should the need arise, without provoking suspicion in your assailant or making those around you feel threatened. We’ll provide a few methods by which to hide both valuables and weapons on your person. Learn how to hide your treasures, items and documents 1) In Your Home 2) On The Road 3) When You're Traveling 4) From Hackers/Cyber Thieves and more...
An amusing, if not interesting read. Details are scant, and much of it is rudimentary in terms of tradecraft (though I suppose that was the intent), but it does offer some useful insight, and at the very least tickles the imagination.
Much of this info is outdated. A couple of the browser add-ons are no longer supported, and there are additional search engines that could be added to the list. As some other reviewers mentioned, pictures and additional details would help better communicate some of the physical concealment ideas.
Great Advice for Privacy, Security, Communications or Storage
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: AS A VERY GOOD SUMMARY OF CONCEALMENT
Shepherd has provided a real service by assembling this relatively small booklet of good ideas about hiding objects and communications. (NOTE: Software security does change relatively quickly)
Some of the ideas are rather old, such as hiding things in bed or table legs. On the other hand, who would look in these places today? Other ideas, such as security software, might become outdated quickly by new technology. That is just the nature of hidden security.
Short, extremely inexpensive and useful this is a great little booklet.
I would have liked to see some pics to better understand how to recreate certain hiding places. Also there was a lot of info about internet safety that I probably should care about but don't, as of yet.
This is a very interesting little book, tells you about lots of great places to hide things. Some take work, but most are very easy, will definitely try some.
You get what you pay for, which isn't much. The physical locations I had already heard of and use many - people know them and I think I received better advice watching "The Rookie." The electronic are also fairly known and fairly dated. I don't know how reliable the information is. However, if it is going to be a part of a "survivalist" series, physical security should have taken up a larger portion of the book. Overall, uncreative, lame.
