Mr Ollam, If you need us to get in, we will get in. Sincerely, All Truckies (aka firefighters on the truck) They're use irons (haligan & flathead axe) to force the door or if that's not working, there's always a K12 (gas powered circular saw) which can cut the door in half. Moral of the story, if you need help you'll get it.

[@DeviantOllam]

💚👍🚒

[@wifigod]

Our house caught fire yesterday morning, and I'll just say my recent experience matches this person's statement. We even let our firemen right in and they *still* used their halligans to smash multiple gaping holes in just about every room they entered, lol! Granted, I'm assuming they did what they felt was necessary. Also, forgive the dark humor, it's my coping mechanism... Back on topic, love the straps @DeviantOllam!

[@TRD_Mike]

@@wifigod I'm really sorry to hear that mate. I couldn't imagine. Glad everyone is safe though. Best of luck to you my friend.

[@trioptimum9027]

Just out of curiousity... What kind of firefighters aren't "truckies?" Like, when I encounter firefighters, they are all on the truck (or, you know, clearly rode the truck to get here and are now on the sidewalk/roof/whatever). Does the aid car not count? Is there a secret stash of backup firefighters who just hang out at the station? Is this "truckies" as opposed to wilderness firefighters, maybe?

[@EyeKnowRaff]

@@trioptimum9027 Truckies ride the ladder truck (often shorted to just 'truck'). A ladder truck is characterized as having a big ladder mounted to it (with or without a platform) in a mid or rear mount or as a tiller (the one with the guy steering in the cab on the back). They don't have their own water source or pump. If there is no mounted ladder it's probably called an engine (there are some ground ladders on it just not the big mounted type). Ladder truck companies (the term of the mouthbreating, ape like animals and apparatus collectively) are typically tasked with forced entry, ventilation, and technical rescue. Meanwhile, engine companies are typically tasked with interior fire attack, rescue, paramedic level care, and stealing your girl (or guy, no judgement). There are "brush trucks" which are usually heavy duty pickup trucks with some suppression equipment for wildland fires (characterized by the distinct lack of structures). Then there's wildland engines which are your typical engine but build to go off road. This is, of course, strictly about the US fire service as the European model scares most US firefighters. Europe just does things differently from the US. Does this make sense?

As for the fireman excuses, I thought that they tend to have their own "override keys" in the form of an axe and other such entry tools.

[@bentuttle9170]

Using the ***Ultimate Override Keys*** with excessive gusto tends to generate more than its fair share of paperwork. The less destructive methods can often be faster if they're immediately available. But, if the less destructive methods don't work due to stuff getting disabled with things like this strap, a set of irons will still take care of these doors.

[@DeviantOllam]

Yeah... if a firefighter or first responder needs to get into a hotel room, they'll use their halligan tool

[@bentuttle9170]

@DeviantOllam now I just need to convince my chief we need a set of irons on our ambulances... 😅 A lot easier for me to personally carry a set of Bogota picks and a latch slipper when I work, a set of irons, not so much

[@TheFriskyComiskey]

My origin of this microniche of life is from the days of addiction. I had 24 hours in my day and I learned to lock pick and I got in trouble. Big trouble. After getting a very heavy-handed spank I got clean and sober 12 years ago but it still kept up the hobby of lockpicking and everything in that genre including your videos. I absolutely love this and everything you've put out. I just watched your last 2 hour video and it was fascinating. I'm a contractor now so building code and fire safety is kind of in my wheelhouse. Keep up the good work

[@ts757arse]

With regards to the health / emergency response stuff; there are absolutely incapacitating events, injuries and so on that could allow you to call for help but be immobilised. But that doesn't render a product like this dangerous or irresponsible. You're a free individual with agency and a right to choose what you do in your own private spaces and how you restrict access to those spaces. If you think the chance of an incapacitating medical emergency is a risk you personally don't want to take, don't use it. The way I see it, my home is protected to the degree that I personally can not break in without a lot of destruction and setting off all the alarms. Most people wouldn't leave their home insecure just because they might have a medical event; why would you with a hotel room? Myself, I'm pretty unhealthy and I do need to ensure someone can gain access in an emergency. I wouldn't use this without a careful risk / benefit assessment. That doesn't make it a bad product, it makes it unsuitable for me.

[@DeviantOllam]

Marvelously worded

[@phillyphakename1255]

I have some health stuff which might make this ...inadvisable..., but also if I can call 911, I can tell them to break down the door with the axe or climb through the window. Sure, it might take the truck instead of the medical taxi, but that's where the risk profile comes in. In most places, they come from the same place anyways.

[@ivladjoll7410]

maybe a potable door alarm would work better for you. May be yo could make a sensor that you could connect to the wifi and have it send a notification to you and/or sound and audible alarm. this would even work to let you know if some one came in with out you there.

[@ts757arse]

@@phillyphakename1255 Yeah, it's that personal balance of risks. I resent people taking that choice away from me.

[@DargusKelen]

I appreciate the "Use them on your friends" after the velcro pull test clip :D

[@LoreTunderin]

These look like fantastic tools that work very well. When you mentioned the anonymity / plausible deniability need it got me thinking, with a few design tweaks you could turn these into functional NATO-style watch straps. If someone used cordage like braided dyneema/microcord/paracord, it could be disguised and worn as a bracelet in plain sight. Hair ties or scrunchies could make a good potential disguise, and I imagine one could improvise such a device using athletic sweat bands, tourniquets, or even shoelaces and hoodie drawstrings if you use the right knots. Awesome stuff as always, Mr. Ollam.

[@An_Attempt]

There are also those of us who just like to use the color black since it looks nice.

[@romangiertych5198]

Yeah, I'm not quite sure why it's restricted. Perhaps they have a low quantity of them and want to ensure it goes where it's really needed.

[@emeraldbonsai]

Black dye is fairly cheap and should override the red easy if you care that much but yeah it doesnt make much sense to me since its a defensive security tool vs offensive

[@yung-megafone]

​@romangiertych5198 This is exactly what I was thinking. I'm sure you can email and request one regardless what your line of work is. Probably made it so you can't instant buy it for the quantity issues as you mentioned Personally I grabbed a red one, I would have much preferred black but I won't lose the red as easily.

[@JohnHollowell]

Generally, if you are more concerned about the "good guys" not being able to get to you to help you than the "bad guys" being able to get in, you should go with less security (or security the "good guys" can override). So just like Dev said, if you are more scared of medical assistance not being able to get to you than you are scared of people breaking in, then don't use this security-increasing strap. If you want more security, than use it!

[@EyeMWing]

If first responders want into the room, they are going to get into the room anyway. It'll just be a lot more upsetting for hotel management.

Hi Deviant, With all the traveling you do have you ever thought about getting a Privet Pilots license. There are a number of planes that are around the same price as a Honda Accord accept a plane go's much faster and in a straight line. You would be amazed off all the places you can go that you normally can't drive too. Oh and you don't have to check your bags you just have to make sure you keep them under the take off weight and your good.

New life goal, and possible resume opener, obtain a job where i have to explain to the agent "that's not a security device, that's a sex device".

[@henrikoldcorn]

I’ve read of someone taking “sounds” through airport security and having to explain what they are (Franklin Veaux, Quora). If you don’t know what they are, don’t look it up at work.

I'l always make sure my money goes to people like you that are open, honest and support of all communities, LGBTQ2+ rights impact people I care about and for people I don't yet know.

Thanks for saying such nice things ☺️

love the flags! cheers!

I do think differently of you, as usual, I think higher of you!

[@CaptainTechnical]

Ok great product, but why is a black piece of Velcro a “restricted item”? Shouldn’t everyone have access to discrete protection and privacy if they feel they need it?

[@securitysocks]

Also wondering this. Can't think of nefarious things that other velcro straps or even more common zip ties couldn't do. And maybe you could pass the pride or rainbow straps off plainly as a wristband of support, bag strap, or hook a Keychain through the notch for the deadbolt latch like a key strap.

About to go to Atlanta for training on the 17th and thinking I need one of these straps

[@bbuggediffy]

Ooooh Atlanta, veeery unsafe

I love the colorways for these. And thank you for the kind message to the community at the end. 🤍

My pleasure 💚

I stayed in a hotel this weekend and woke up to a carbon monoxide leak. They evacuated the building. several people went to the hospital. It turns out that most states do not require hotels to have CO detectors. I bought a small travel one. Not all threats are human.

[@DeviantOllam]

Wow that's scary. I never would think to travel with a small portable one but it makes sense I guess

[@sandy1653]

That's scary. Not a threat vector I would have even thought of.

[@teh-maxh]

I get why there's a plain black version, but I still don't get why it's restricted.

Didn't you watch the most recent talk? It's orange then red, silly!

[@Gekitsuu]

Thank you for this ❤

[@tmntshadow]

Just curious - Do you ever travel to Ontario, Canada to give any of your talks, be a presenter at event's or maybe even teach from time to time? Me and my partner have always loved your videos. We both truly appreciate the genuineness you express, whenever you take time to share your life and thoughts online. Thank you for continuing to share your knowledge, opinions and the time you share with the rest of us online. Warmest Regards.

I get to T-Dot from time to time. There are some human rights events up there where tarah and I have spoken in the past. And my friend Rowan is up there with his family and I always want to meet up with them when I can.
