Thanks for watching this video! Special shoutout to Thaddeus for the numerous meetings and talks we've had over the years on this subject. Special thanks to "The Hated One" for his awesome video content (please subscribe). Here's the PDF for this video: bit.ly/3gY1KGI. BTW, I was just teasing the Apple folks on the "fan boys" comment. I use a Mac for work and an iPad for home use. I'm still trying to get better at lighting my videos in a way that doesn't reflect on my glasses. Dear Lynda, if you're reading this, please subscribe to my channel. It would really mean a lot to me. The tips included in this video will only "help" to make you more digitally private and secure. It's difficult to go fully off-grid, digitally. Hopefully the measures put into place in this video will at least make me a little more annoying to track. Thanks for supporting my channel and stay safe! ~Cliff

Do you recommend the Brave Browser? If not, what browser do you recommend for my laptop?

The headset you list in the PDF is for a desk phone...

@@brycee.maryott8802 Thanks for the heads up! I'll get it updated today.

[@LiamW42]

What Sigfrank asked, I second. I've been using Brave myself, but I'm curious what your research has shown to be the most secure. And especially what browser should be used for making PWAs! (PWAs are a completely new concept for me)

[@metropolized5343]

Really superb and refreshing ideas here. Great work pal. Do you have an insight as to how many of your suggestions could work on a Kindle Paperwhite? The screen visibility and overall battery-life are very attractive.

I am one of your disciples who is trying to spread your word with those in the emergency preparedness community. It would be fun to chat one of these days! Not sure if you do livestreams, but it would be an honor to have you discuss digital privacy and security more with my audience. Take care and thanks for all of the content that you give out! ~Cliff

Another point to add in about opening devices. There was a supreme court ruling that if you have your phone set to a biometric lock, the police can force you to swipe your finger or use your face to unlock the device. If you go to Password however, Androids (at least the two I have) will allow you to encrypt the whole phone.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Interesting!

[@torjones1701]

@DTL not a dumb question but you'll have to Google your model and how to encrypt it. I have always found it pretty easy to do, but best to follow the instructions straight from the manual.

Fantastic Video! Would love to see this integrated with a way to link up a mobile phone with a shortwave transmitter or a satellite uplink. Having the means to bypass the cell networks in an emergency scenario is going to be critical in the years to come.

Ever since the movie "TAKEN" with Liam Neeson I have looked for a very small cell phone to hide on me incase of illegal detention.I have never been able to find one of any quality.I have even looked at a smartwatch with a sim card to fit in a survival case. Hidden lockpicks and handcuff keys are fine, but nothing brings in the cavalry like a cell phone.

Amazing video! You gave me a lot of important information! One thing I can suggest you is to use Tor Browser if you wanna go even more anonymus on the Web (there is the android app, but also for linux/windows/macos machines).

[@Saiarts_yt]

Great video as always Cliff. I would also look into a bluetooth reciever. I think it might be a good idea to use your wired earbuds in converting them into a bluetooth device. Since some/most of us drive and we need a headset for our phones. Its a good item especially for using it while traveling with rental car. I also got this hack from this channel Jlaser_videos (typo) in using your flip phones with IR blaster as a night vision camera. Same can be achieved with smartphones but either using a prepaid phone or removing the IR filter from recent model. Also, Happy 10th anniversary here in KZbin Cliff!

[@dannym7783]

Extremely well done. Thanks for including IOS info too. I would love to see a video on what do with some old dumb phones and blackberries.

I’d love to see that too - I’ve seen a few on the App Store but they are all either really cumbersome and illogical or just down right useless.

[@shaungrant5565]

Not sure about Android but Apple has a good one called Supplies.I don’t know if it does a shopping list but it does keep track of expiration dates and allows you to categorize prep storage ie:fridge,freezer etc.

[@LiamW42]

At 8:21 when he's showing his NetGuard apps, I'm seeing what looks like he's defaulted all wifi access off but all mobile access on! Is that appropriate and safe? Is that because, with the encrypted DNS, mobile is OK to allow all apps to access at all times? Someone help explain :(

[@davidmdomingo]

Read the fine print on the gotenna app. You basically give permission for them to use anything transmitted through the app however they see fit.

You could also use Briar for chatting. This is peer-to-peer encrypted, which means there is no cloud storage. So every message is only stored locally on your device and the device from the person you are chatting with. Unfortunately, you can't send any pictures with Briar, only text Also, I would recommend using F-droid for downloading certain apps (and you can use Aurora Store to install Play Store apps without a Google account). Also with ScrambledEXIF you can remove metadata from pictures With Shelter you can put apps you might not trust completely in a sandbox (using the workprofile of your phone) I'm NOT a professional, but I hope these tips are worth looking at

I think the faraday pouch has the problem where it shuts down ALL communication with the phone, so while it's in the pouch it's basically a paperweight. But the second you take it out of the pouch it starts communicating again, ergo offering none of the protection these solutions offer.
