00:00:02.680 --> 00:00:10.679
Tradition, conservation, family, the
odors. It matters to you, it
2
00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:17.559
matters to us. This is Hunting
Matters presented by Houston Safari Club Foundation.
3
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:22.519
Here's Joe Bitar. Good morning,
everybody. Welcome back to Honey Matters on
4
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:25.239
KPRC nine fifty. This is your
host, Joe Bitar. I am Ramon
5
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:27.480
Robles. What you been up to, man? Well, you know,
6
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:30.199
we got the big Thanksgiving coming up
Thursday. Got my stretch of pants on
7
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:34.079
already, Yeah, And I was
just thinking, we haven't really discussed the
8
00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:39.479
top three Thanksgiving foods, okay,
And I just thought maybe you would lay
9
00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:41.960
yours out for me and then we
could compare and contrast. Let's rock and
10
00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:47.640
roll, Okay, my fried turkey, I do a I do a Cajun
11
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:50.960
fried turkey kind of kind of a
big deal, kind of world famous about
12
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:53.759
it. How long does it take
turkey? For? Forty five minutes in
13
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:57.280
the friar, in the friar done, leave the oven open. My wife
14
00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:02.159
could cook all of our other delicious
stuff. Second food is my wife's corn
15
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:06.239
bread dressing from the South. It's
not stuffing, it's dressing, which is
16
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:11.760
an improvement on my mother's recipe made
with sage sausage. Oh man, it's
17
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:17.239
a sausage corn bread dressing. And
then the third thing is it's a tie
18
00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:22.799
between spinach Madeline, which is spinach
with Monterey Jack cheese and bread crumbs.
19
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:25.760
I know exactly what it. Oh, oh gosh. And then the corn
20
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:30.159
sew fle or the third one to
tie on the third place is a cauliflower
21
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:36.879
dressing. It is flat fried cauliflower
florettes with small cube roast meat and rice.
22
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:41.120
Okay, now listen, bitar,
you can't name three things as your
23
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:44.480
number. They're tied for No,
they can't. Let's hear you're smart,
24
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:48.680
all right. Number one, yeah, of course is chilled cranberries in the
25
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:51.680
can, yes, which we always
forget in the fridge every time we sit
26
00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:55.120
down, which is a shame because
they're the best. Number two is ham
27
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:57.879
honey baked tam Yes. And then
number three is yeast rolls love it.
28
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:02.920
Yeah, so that the quintessential Thanksgiving
plate. It's hard to pick up three
29
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:07.439
because everything my wife makes is our
favorite, you know, we and it's
30
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:08.800
weird because you love those things,
but you only happened twice a year,
31
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:12.280
Thanks you having your Christmas. The
other day, I was thinking it'd be
32
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:14.800
nice, you know, Sundays.
Why don't you cook a panad dressing?
33
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:17.400
I might you know, Okay,
it's on my list now I'm gonna ask
34
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:21.439
her. Would it lose its charm
if you were doing it June fifth,
35
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:23.439
when it's ninety eight degrees outside?
It would? But you got all those
36
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:27.560
months to wait till the next holidays? Is that why we like it so
37
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:30.479
much? Because we only have it
once a year? I think that's what
38
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:32.759
it is. It's gotta be ye. All right, Well, Happy Thanksgiving
39
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:37.120
to you, Happy to see you
before then? Yeah, happy stuffing day?
40
00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:39.759
Ye all right, we got a
show to get to. Okay,
41
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:45.039
Let's talk about Houston's Far Club Foundation
a little bit real quick. All right,
42
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:49.360

00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:02.199
in Cyprus, Texas. And then
the big conventions happening at the Woodlands Waterway,
46
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:06.759
Marriott Hotel and Convention Center January nineteenth
through the twenty first, twenty twenty
47
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:09.560

57
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:43.759
this may be something we should have
saved for off air. But that weekend,

where you're from, and I think he's
79

said he was thinking you were from
Florida or Georgia. Yeah, something.
80
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:06.680
It sounds like a southern excellent Where
are your Collins from today? Oh?
81
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:14.199
From Minnesota? Actually beautiful country up
there, yeah. Yeah. It kind
82
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:18.519
of runs from everything from the North
Country forest all the way to the southwest
83
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:25.800
corner is like Nebraska, just flat
as far as you can see. Okay,
84
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:28.759
Core, Do you do you do
a little hunting fishing up there in
85
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:33.480
Minnesota? Yep, yep. So
we do deer hunting up kind of at
86
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:39.519
a northern deer camp that's been in
my wife's family for a couple of generations,
87
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:44.600
and then we go out west every
every couple of years in search of
88
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:48.800
elk usually. So yeah, a
little bit of both. Awesome awesome.
89
00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:56.439
Do you guys have pretty good waterfowl
hunting up there, don't you? Yeah?
90
00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:59.800
Yeah, there's a fair bit of
kind of ducks, ducks lose and
91
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:04.959
pothole lakes all around here. Even
you know, within audible distance of my
92
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:09.360
house, there's plenty of shooting going
on. I don't get out much.
93
00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:13.240
I wish I got out more.
I I have had some friends that have
94
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:15.519
taken me out in the past.
It's a ton of fun. Yeah.
95
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:18.920
Yeah, so we're gonna do we're
I want to do a deep dive on
96
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:21.920
your product line here because I was
fortunate enough to get one of your get
97
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:25.920
one of your your pistol boxes a
while back, and man, you guys
98
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:29.000
make a great product. I want
to talk a little bit in in detail
99
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:31.959
about that. But you're you're your
background's not in safe building, correct,
100
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:36.360
you had you did something else in
a previous life. Yeah. Yeah,
101
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:41.319
So both my business partner and I
we uh, we've been in metal fab
102
00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:46.160
for a long time, but we
came to metal fab through automotive hot rod
103
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:53.600
building, working for a company that
did automotive aftermarket extension parts and uh and
104
00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:58.360
then I actually did some like solar
enclosures and stuff and uh. Yeah.
105
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:01.439
So both of us from engineering backgrounds, lots of metal fat backgrounds, but
106
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:06.720
no, no, no safe experience
except when we started shopping for safes and
107
00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:12.439
thought that we might be able to
make a better mouse trap. Yeah.
108
00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:14.720
That's a it's actually a good segue. I was going to ask you,
109
00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:16.240
you know what, what kind of
got you into this but you you just
110
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:21.439
basically weren't satisfied with what you were
seeing out there, correct, Yeah,
111
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:26.759
so basically we were. We went
to the normal you know, suspects of
112
00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:30.319
stores and we looked at, hey, this safe is not too heavy.
113
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:32.040
I could I could fit it in
my basement. I had a kind of
114
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:36.040
a hoofy house where I had a
split stairwell or starrow with a corner and
115
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:40.839
it went back the other way.
And the place I had available to put
116
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:44.920
a safe was a big one wouldn't
fit up there. So when I got
117
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:49.040
down to the small one that that
sort we looked at that we could move,
118
00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:51.279
I was like, well listen,
really big enough. And then when
119
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:56.480
we got to the ones that were
big enough, it's too heavy. Yeah.
120
00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:58.639
And if you finally, when I
was light enough to get up my
121
00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:01.319
stairs and around the corner, and
it wasn't necessarily something that you want to
122
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:05.920
buy, get too light? Got
it? Okay? Hold that thought,
123
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:07.480
I want to pick that up.
On the other side. We got to
124
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:41.799
take a quick break here on Honting
matters KPRC nine fifty. Have to that
125
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:43.919
is what you listen to when you're
going to the deer blind. Yep,
126
00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:48.519
get you in the middle my hype
music. It's also you know the Minnesota
127
00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:52.360
things. Yeah, Minnesota. Yeah, but I know you listen, this
128
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:54.639
is going to the deer band with
your high heels on. I do you
129
00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:58.480
know what? You knock them,
but they get good traction in the field.
130
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.440
They're great. They're good. That
make you calves look great. I
131
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:03.679
gotta tell you, man, they
really pump you up. Welcome back to
132
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:05.720
Honey Matters KPRC nine to fifty.
This is your hos Jo Vita and Ramon
133
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:09.799
Roeblist joined today our guest Corey Myers. Corey is the founder, co founder.
134
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:13.440
I guess we don't want to slide
his partner of Steelhead Outdoors, Charlie
135
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:16.879
be upset with us, Whitney Corey. You know, yep, he might
136
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:24.240
be. You're getting all the attention. Corey. Let me ask you a
137
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:28.559
question, what uh what is the
state dish of Minnesota. If if you
138
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:31.039
were an ambassador to the Minnesota brand, what dish would you be making?
139
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:37.000
Oh? Man, I mean I
have a feeling people would say some kind
140
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:39.360
of like Tater Todd hot dish or
something, but it's not my favorite.
141
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:45.639
I'd probably check like, yeah,
it's a really Midwestern thing. And it.
142
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:48.159
I don't know. I'm not a
fan. I'm sure a lot of
143
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:54.559
Midwestern uh listeners probably offended by me
saying that after listening. But but I
144
00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:56.440
don't know, maybe something with wild
rice, like wild rice soup, because
145
00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:01.320
we got some good wild wild wife
wild rights up here. Not you know,
146
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:03.039
I don't think you could find that
stuff. So okay, Corey,
147
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:07.559
the really bizarre thing is that you
said that. But Tater tot Hot Dish
148
00:10:07.720
--> 00:10:11.559
is Ramon's stripper name when he used
to be when he used to be a
149
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:16.440
male stripper, that was the stripper
name, Tater tod Hot Dish. It's
150
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:22.679
not appetizing, you know what?
They got back to the heels. I've
151
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:26.120
had a lot of a lot of
past moments. I'm never going to forget
152
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:31.080
that. I'm writing that down Tater
tot Hot Dish TD. What's t THHD
153
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:35.000
up too? Oh, Corey,
listen, I brought to kind of cut
154
00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:37.159
you off before window to break.
So you were telling us about you know,
155
00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:41.320
you got you were kind of doing
that Goldilocks and the Three Bears thing
156
00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:43.159
with your safe before you guys started
building stafe. You couldn't find one that
157
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:48.120
just wouldn't work for you. Correct. Yeah. Yeah, So we were
158
00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:52.159
trying to check all the boxes and
we couldn't find one that did. And
159
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:56.960
then so there's a couple other companies
that make safes that come apart or modular
160
00:10:56.000 --> 00:11:00.519
safe, uh, like a lot
of folks will call them in industry,
161
00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:05.440
and there actually isn't one until we
came around that was bull of Fire insulated
162
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:09.600
handmade in the USA. So we
thought, well, we can fix that
163
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:13.759
being metal sab guys. So you
know, we started developing our safe in
164
00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:20.320
twenty sixteen, and then we built
a lot of safes, tested them,
165
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:24.519
threw them away, put them in
an oven, and then launched our line
166
00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:33.440
of Nomad safes for sale in early
twenty twenty. Okay, And so you
167
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:35.840
know, We've talked to people on
this show, and I've talked to people
168
00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:39.759
that are in the in the manufacturing
side of whether it's gun safes or or
169
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:46.559
optics or whatever, sourcing sourcing materials
and things like that in US, and
170
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:50.879
I listened, Ramona and I both
buy US made products whenever we can.
171
00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:54.159
That can that can get you know, kind of be difficult, kind of
172
00:11:54.159 --> 00:12:00.320
expensive, can it? Yeah?
Yeah, I mean there's always that's what
173
00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:03.759
like the one hundred percent made in
USA is always kind of tricky. There's
174
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:09.200
always little things, right, like
like some nuts and bolts and screws,
175
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:11.480
Like you can get aircraft ones that
are made in USA, but you need
176
00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:16.399
like a number eight screw to hold
the dial on. You're safe, Like
177
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:20.759
odds are that's coming imported somewhere,
whether it's Portugal or China or Taiwan.
178
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:24.559
So yeah, but finding the little
components is tricky. Like even for example,
179
00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:30.879
our pistol boxes, we ended up
finding like a like an aircraft cable
180
00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:37.039
manufacturer locally to make that security cable
for us because we didn't want to buy
181
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:39.960
one that came from overseas if we
could help it. So we do whenever
182
00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:43.360
possible at all. We work with
not only made in USA stuff, but
183
00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:46.879
we try to work with local vendors
too, just because you know, it's
184
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:50.960
the community that we live and live
in Eden, and you know, we
185
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:54.559
like to keep that money around as
much as we can, you know.
186
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:58.240
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, tell
us a little bit about your product line
187
00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:01.159
for those listening who are not familiar
with that, you guys, you guys
188
00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:05.279
do say if you do pistol boxes
kind of give us a broad sweep of
189
00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:09.480
all the products kind of the products
you guys offer. Yeah, so we
190
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:13.480
can kind of start top down the
safe the ones come apart, and that
191
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:16.080
means they come in pieces. You
carry the panels down one at a time.
192
00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:20.519
Those, you know, are on
the mid mid price range as far
193
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:24.679
as safes go. And then coming
down we have our pistol boxes. We
194
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:30.720
have both push buttons, simplex fast
access boxes as well as key boxes.
195
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:35.879
And then on the lower end of
the product spectrum, we have our accessories
196
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:39.759
like our magnetic case keeper, which
has been super popular. Perfect Christmas gift
197
00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:45.120
for anyone listening. It's hooks on
any safe magnetically, whether that was made
198
00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:48.360
by us or made by anyone else. Even hook on your beer fridge and
199
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:52.679
hold eight soft cases. That's like
really popular around Father's Day, Christmas,
200
00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:56.960
things like that. It's forty nine
bucks, so it's in most people's budgets
201
00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:03.200
for holiday shopping. Almost fits in
a stocking, but not quite. Ramon's
202
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:07.639
looking at the website shopping right now. He's he's got a couple of things.
203
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:09.759
I think it's going to be an
expensive show for me. I have
204
00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:16.120
a feeling when you guys, how
do you how do you guys look at
205
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:18.279
the at the at the product development
process to create a safe that you would
206
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:20.639
want
to own. I'm sure that
when you build safe, you're like,
207
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:24.000
you know, this is something I'm
building that I would want to own.
208
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:28.320
How how do you guys go through
that through that process of creating new products.
209
00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:33.799
Yeah, So when we first started, actually we thought, well,
210
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:35.759
hey, if the safe's going to
come apart, it should be as big
211
00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:39.919
as possible, because everyone says they're
safe it is too small. So there's
212
00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:41.600
an old picture floating now and somewhere
in the back of our website. We
213
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:46.320
built one that like you guys could
have dinner in or you could have a
214
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:50.240
date inside of it, but but
you couldn't move it. Like even though
215
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:54.320
the pieces were separate, they're still
too heavy to move. So we started
216
00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:58.879
whittling it down and then our next
prototype was uh, you know, filled
217
00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:03.240
with cement in the panels and each
panel weighed like three or four hundred pounds.
218
00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:09.360
Then we sold a couple to local
people and it's still very very very
219
00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:11.240
nice safe, but it was very
difficult to move, and we thought,
220
00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:15.759
well, people are going to buy
this because two guys can just move it
221
00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:18.559
into basement. So then we started
designing around that as our key metric,
222
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:24.279
Like, if two people can carry
these panels in the basement, we've succeeded.
223
00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:28.159
So let's make the best safe we
can inside that envelope. And we
224
00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:31.120
feel that I've definitely done that.
There's always going to be a safe to
225
00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:35.360
as higher fire protection or more security, but it's probably going to be heavier
226
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:39.720
and harder to move. So when
you look in the parameters of what's a
227
00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:43.960
safe two people can move into basement, and what's the best one that fits
228
00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:50.039
that requirement, I think we've built
just that. I'm looking at the rustic
229
00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:54.039
nomad, beautiful looking safe there.
My question though, is is it true
230
00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:58.200
that if you hold a stethoscope to
the little safe you can kind of crack
231
00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:02.039
it? Or is that just kind
of a livestyle. Yeah, I think
232
00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:04.519
that's I think that's mostly a lives
sale. I know it's certainly not true
233
00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:11.159
with with the electronic locks. I
think safe crackers they know some of those
234
00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:15.200
guys really know what they're doing.
But there's a lot of auto dialers and
235
00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:22.360
things like that because it's not that
easy as it looks in the movies.
236
00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:26.399
But even the locksmith's needs special need
really specialized equipment. Because if you get
237
00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:30.600
locked out of your safe with a
mechanical lock of really good locksmith is most
238
00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:34.759
likely drilling in there. Yeah,
and not probably not manipulating the die a
239
00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:40.480
most likely that's true. These are
all electronic keypads, so yeah, I
240
00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:41.919
guess that would be a little different. Yeah, I've got a safe problem
241
00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:44.919
at home with a cheap safe.
I'm on, if we have time at
242
00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:45.960
the end of the show, I'm
gonna ask. I'm gonna ask. I'm
243
00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:49.840
gonna ask. Corey. Are given
my SOB story here, give them an
244
00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:53.320
you're twenty to maybe crack it for
you. Yeah, by phone remote,
245
00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:56.399
just send me and add something something
on my phone and pop it out.
246
00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:02.000
And I know this is kind of
an obvious question, but real quickly.
247
00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:03.759
We got about a minute left before
you go into our next break. Has
248
00:17:03.839 --> 00:17:07.480
the We've obviously seen a huge increase
in gun sales across the US. Has
249
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:14.400
the safe business increased exponentially with that
trend? Yeah? Yeah, especially deering
250
00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:18.559
when you know all the guns were
you couldn't buy anything. So the industry
251
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:22.480
kind of pulse that you hear at
the shows and such is that last year
252
00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:26.400
was a booming year for everyone.
This year's kind of like flat the same
253
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:30.839
not that same explosive growth that everyone
saw last year, because you could tell,
254
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:33.480
I mean people were out like twenty
weeks lead time on stuff, right
255
00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:37.640
and now you know, we just
look across the industry. People are much
256
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:41.720
quicker lead times than their stock at
stores. So things are a little a
257
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:45.119
little flower than last year. But
I mean we're coming off quite a boom
258
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:51.480
of a year for all things guns
two right right, Okay, man,
259
00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:53.240
I just have got tons of questions. I'm looking at the products and stuff
260
00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:56.599
here, but we're going to take
a quick break here on Hunting Matters,
261
00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:00.039
back with our guests Corey Myers with
steel Head Outdoors. See you on the
262
00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:18.880
other side, folks, Once upon
a time to dress so fast through the
263
00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:29.000
boots of dime in your price.
Then you
people call say it be webbed
264
00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:37.640
all you're by a fall. You
thought they were off alrighty, welcome back
265
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:41.359
here to Honeymatters on kp r C
nine fifty. I'm catching Ramone off guard
266
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:44.759
at the board over there. This
is your host, Joe betar Ham Ramone
267
00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:48.000
Robless and we are joining to get
a by our guest Corey Myers. Corey
268
00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:52.440
is the co founder of still Head
Outdoors. Check out their website and get
269
00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:56.839
your credit card out Stillhead outdoors dot
com. Round you you got your modular
270
00:18:56.880 --> 00:19:00.319
safety? Do you know? Here's
here's the scary thing of all the gun
271
00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:04.039
equipment, all the things that I
bought, I do not have a safe.
272
00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:08.240
That Corey that you probably hear that
story all the time, though,
273
00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:15.000
don't you. Yep, yep for
sure. And at then here's here's where
274
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:17.839
the problem comes in. When you've
got pistols and stuff lying around in the
275
00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:19.400
corners of every closet are full of
guns, You're right, goes, hey,
276
00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:22.759
we got to do something about this. That's when you got to go
277
00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:26.079
bout it safe. I know I
need to buy a safe because I literally
278
00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:29.440
just have my gun stacked in the
closet. Yeah, but I look at
279
00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:33.039
it differently though. You buy safe, it's not full. It's an open
280
00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:36.720
invitation. Your spouse always knows what
to get you, something else to put
281
00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:38.279
in the safe, and you can
tell her, hey, honey, we
282
00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:42.480
can keep the important papers and the
jewelry, not just for guns, our
283
00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:47.279
wedding pictures and babies and yeah.
So see, I've already thought there were
284
00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:49.680
all this good point when I order
that that custom safe that Corey is going
285
00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:52.480
to build for me. Corey,
could you build us a safe that on
286
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:57.200
the side says for pictures, you
know, for a safetyeping of wedding pictures.
287
00:19:57.279 --> 00:20:00.839
Okay, good, good, Ye
absolutely, and put your wife's face
288
00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:03.279
on. Yeah, that'll go over
roll. Well yeah, get your face
289
00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:06.599
on it. Oh look baby,
you put your pictures here, and yeah
290
00:20:06.599 --> 00:20:10.319
there's some room for guns. But
look look at these pictures. All right,
291
00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:12.519
good good? I like this guy. Speaking of custom safe, you
292
00:20:12.519 --> 00:20:18.119
guys build custom safe correct. Yeah. We we have done a fair bed
293
00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:22.119
of customs. Yeah, a
lot
of vault doors and safe too. Yeah.
294
00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:27.599
Most of the customs are like small
variations on the on the existing safe.
295
00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:33.039
But yeah, we've done anything and
everything from full full blown custom projects
296
00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:37.160
to you know, custom color on
a regular safe. We have our powder
297
00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:41.279
vender has like two thousand colors or
something or any like that. What's the
298
00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:47.759
most bizarre request you guys have had? Oh? Well, we made safe
299
00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:52.799
for a guy I think he lived
on in Florida. Uh. It was
300
00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:56.480
like he had a very tight space
you wanted to put in. So it's
301
00:20:56.519 --> 00:21:03.759
like seven foot tall safe that was
narrow and it was all white with gold
302
00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:10.559
accents and a gold dial. It
was seemed like something from Miami Vice.
303
00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:14.359
But it turned out super cool.
That sounds like something Scarface would order.
304
00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:21.160
Yeah or ramone. Yeah, I
need all my high heels to your your
305
00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:25.319
Prince Hills. Here he comes again, tater dot hot dish. Now,
306
00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:29.400
when you're building these same Now,
if I'm buying a safe, do I
307
00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:32.680
worry about atmosphere in the safe?
I mean, I know that might sup.
308
00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:37.400
I don't know if I'm asking the
right questions about temperature and humidity exactly.
309
00:21:37.680 --> 00:21:41.599
Yeah, So I have a nerdy
answer for you. That's fascinating.
310
00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:48.279
Most gun safes have sheet rocking them. Drywall, sheet rock, fireboard,
311
00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:51.799
could be called any of those things. It's like basically the same thing that
312
00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:55.720
your walls are made out of in
your house if it's built after nineteen seventy.
313
00:21:56.319 --> 00:22:00.160
And that does a good job of
fire protection. Is why they use
314
00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:03.839
it and why it's used in your
house. But that is made with moisture
315
00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:08.240
when they cast it like cements,
and the moisture that come that is in
316
00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:14.000
your safe more often than not comes
from the safe itself. So if you
317
00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:18.839
have a room that's forty percent humidity
because you have an air conditioning system,
318
00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:26.680
You're safe will match the room unless
it makes its own humidity. So because
319
00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:30.880
we're trying to make the best safe, because that two guys carry. We
320
00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:34.400
have a material inside our safe that's
actually sergamic blanket like they're used in a
321
00:22:34.440 --> 00:22:41.599
blast furnace or heat treating facility or
specialized industrial equipment with fireplaces, and that
322
00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:45.920
is rated for twenty three hundred degrees. But it doesn't have any moisture in
323
00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:49.359
it, so it's it's insulator,
but it doesn't have that boiling water phase
324
00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:56.799
change temperature stalling ability. But it
also doesn't have moisture. So you're not
325
00:22:56.839 --> 00:22:59.960
going to make your own humidity inside
of your safe, so the humidity is
326
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:04.000
going to match the room it's in
all the time. Okay, yeah,
327
00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:10.480
you know I I go ahad and
share my sob story. Now. So
328
00:23:10.680 --> 00:23:12.200
we had a cheap safe that was
in our house when we moved in,
329
00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:18.400
and evidently, Corey, I'm sure
you've heard, we had a huge hurricane
330
00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:21.759
a few years back that sat on
top of us for I don't know remember
331
00:23:21.799 --> 00:23:26.319
what three to five days. It's
just crazy. So you playing me out,
332
00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:30.359
Oh it's no sad music. Okay, So Evidently this guy's house flooded
333
00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:32.400
and he left the safe in there. So when I bought the house,
334
00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:34.000
I was like, you couldn't tell
from the outside that was bad. So
335
00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:37.400
I said, oh, will you
convey the safe with the house because I
336
00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:40.240
just throw my guns in there was
It's not a custom safe, of course,
337
00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:42.319
So anyway, I ripped out.
Then I opened it up and it
338
00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:45.640
was all rusted out from the bottom
third. So I cleaned it out.
339
00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:49.200
I got all the rust out,
I sand it down, replaced the drawwall
340
00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:52.599
and stuff in it. I closed
the safe and it's when the push button
341
00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:56.240
key button. It's not a key, it's a push button digital safe.
342
00:23:56.880 --> 00:24:02.400
I closed the door and heard it
go and it shut and that one open
343
00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:06.079
and I don't know that I've taken
no I've taken the keepout off. I've
344
00:24:06.119 --> 00:24:08.519
used the backup safety key the whole
thing, and I can't get the I
345
00:24:08.519 --> 00:24:11.319
can't get I read to the whole
inside of the safe and now it is
346
00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:15.039
locked shut. Corey, what do
I do? Come on, man,
347
00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:18.319
help me out. I think the
only thing if the backup ke doesn't work,
348
00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:22.119
the only two options are to call
the manufacturer YEP and see if they
349
00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:27.119
have the combo on file for some
reason. Otherwise, well they want to
350
00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:33.000
have the combo, they'll have the
master reset code on file, or or
351
00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:36.839
you have to have a locks throw
it out. Yeah, yeah, it's
352
00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:40.079
you know, it's it's not the
I've got the combination and it's the right
353
00:24:40.119 --> 00:24:42.400
one. And I just think one
of those bolts in it was bad or
354
00:24:42.400 --> 00:24:45.279
something. I didn't get all the
rust out or something, and it's just
355
00:24:45.359 --> 00:24:48.599
locked up, so I can oh
sure, yeah, when it locked itself.
356
00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:53.079
Yeah, that's what it is.
Your only choice. How much is
357
00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:59.240
that going to run me? A
lot of them are like three fifty minimum
358
00:24:59.519 --> 00:25:03.359
the safe. I've probably just dumped
the safe and get order one of yours
359
00:25:03.400 --> 00:25:06.799
because it's not worth it. It's
just frustrating because all the work it took
360
00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:08.559
me, you know, several weekends
of projects of getting it all cleaned out
361
00:25:08.599 --> 00:25:11.960
and doing them. I don't know
what happened. Anyway, we should give
362
00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:15.039
it a go with C four or
tenor right or something, just to see
363
00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:17.720
what happened. Well, you can't
hurt it because it's not working, So
364
00:25:18.039 --> 00:25:21.880
yeah, we'll hallow it out and
do something to it. Corey. You
365
00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:23.359
know, Ramona and I are kind
of we're kind of firearms addicts, and
366
00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:26.960
a lot of people listen to the
show are as well. How do you
367
00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:30.480
guide a client to choose a safe
not only that is what they want now,
368
00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:32.960
but potentially what they want in the
future, what they need in the
369
00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:34.440
future, because you know, I
mean, you know, you want to
370
00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:40.240
plan ahead, and we all know
we're going to buy more guns. So
371
00:25:40.359 --> 00:25:44.240
yeah, So the number one thing
is I always tell people to buy a
372
00:25:44.279 --> 00:25:48.960
little bigger than you think you need. Our most popular one is actually the
373
00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:53.119
Nomad thirty eight. The other thing
we do that's really popular is we build
374
00:25:53.119 --> 00:25:59.759
a lot of double safe where there's
actually two totally different safes. They both
375
00:25:59.759 --> 00:26:02.480
together, they're in the middle.
So now you have about a fourteen to
376
00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:06.640
fifteen hundred pound assembly in your room. And the benefit of it being a
377
00:26:06.680 --> 00:26:10.440
double safe is that get two doors. So instead of you know, the
378
00:26:10.519 --> 00:26:14.400
really giant safe might have a four
or five foot wide door, then you
379
00:26:14.440 --> 00:26:15.960
have to have room for that big
door to swing, and then when it's
380
00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:22.079
open it becomes extra tippy. So
the smaller double safe works pretty well.
381
00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:26.039
We're shipping one out tomorrow actually,
where the gentleman said, look, you
382
00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:29.160
know, I want it double safe. I really love one, but that's
383
00:26:29.200 --> 00:26:33.839
a lot of money to shell out
in one one time. So how I
384
00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:37.079
just buy one now and I'll buy
the second one later. So we're configuring
385
00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:40.039
this first one to be ready to
go to add the second one in the
386
00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:45.000
future, and then that's when you
can add it when whenever he wants and
387
00:26:45.039 --> 00:26:48.839
it's ready to go. Yeah,
I like that concept. Not having heard
388
00:26:48.839 --> 00:26:51.400
of that one giant door. Yeah, you know, I see where that
389
00:26:51.440 --> 00:26:55.400
makes sense if you don't have room
for you know, big old door like
390
00:26:55.440 --> 00:26:56.400
that. And so when you say, like the no Man thirty eight,
391
00:26:56.440 --> 00:27:03.440
the thirty eight is indicative how many
guns can no. We actually when we
392
00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:07.359
were kind of poking around doing competitive
research, we found that, you know,
393
00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:10.200
I like to say a twenty four
inch wide safe, someone might call
394
00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:12.240
it a twenty gun, and someone
might call it a fifty gun, and
395
00:27:12.279 --> 00:27:15.599
it's the same size safe. So
we just go off the with some of
396
00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:19.200
the other companies have recently switched to
do in cubic feet, but sometimes the
397
00:27:19.240 --> 00:27:22.160
height doesn't help you as much,
or the death doesn't help you as much,
398
00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:26.000
so ours is just it just goes
off the width. So it's the
399
00:27:26.039 --> 00:27:29.640
easy number that people can remember.
So that's a thirty eight inch wide safe,
400
00:27:29.799 --> 00:27:33.200
got it? I like that.
That's that makes it a lot easier.
401
00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:37.039
Maybe I'm asking the wrong question or
I'm asking the wrong person this question.
402
00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:41.319
But right now we are leasing our
house. Is it okay to still
403
00:27:41.319 --> 00:27:45.039
buy a safe? I mean,
are they pretty movable or is it?
404
00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:47.599
My perception is once you get a
safe, you put it there, it
405
00:27:47.720 --> 00:27:52.599
stays there. Yeah. No,
So that that is like a perfect example
406
00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:56.400
of where our safe would be perfect. So most the average American moves like
407
00:27:56.440 --> 00:28:00.799
ten times in their life when you
count, you know, leaving your parents'
408
00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:04.359
house and going to school or your
job or whatnot. And the traditional safe
409
00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:08.240
weighs seven hundred pounds. Beat a
moving company around here, it's about one
410
00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:14.200
thousand bucks to move cross pounds with
let's safe. Where are safe? It
411
00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:17.880
comes in pieces, so it's a
six
hundred and fifty pounds safe, but
412
00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:21.359
the heaviest parts of the door weighs
one hundred and seventy pounds, so two
413
00:28:21.359 --> 00:28:25.079
people can carry it down steps and
then when you get ready to move,
414
00:28:25.160 --> 00:28:27.880
you simply open the door, take
out the same bolts you put in to
415
00:28:27.920 --> 00:28:32.039
put it together, and you carry
it out piece by piece, wrap each
416
00:28:32.079 --> 00:28:34.720
panel in a moving blanket and you
can fit it under the tunnel cover of
417
00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:40.559
a regular pickup truck. And we've
had we've had a customer call me and
418
00:28:40.599 --> 00:28:44.960
say he's moved it safe three or
four times, and he wanted just like
419
00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:48.160
a new door steal and a couple
of new bolts because he had built and
420
00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:52.799
assembled and hauled this thing so many
times, and touch up paint. So
421
00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:55.440
yeah, there's you know, like
I said, we've been building these things
422
00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:59.480
for four years, so we've had
someone move it four times already in four
423
00:28:59.559 --> 00:29:03.640
years. That's awesome. Yeah,
yeah, you have no excuse taking a
424
00:29:03.640 --> 00:29:07.759
break here real quickly on hunting Matters
kPr C nine fifty C after the break
425
00:29:34.839 --> 00:29:45.400
or Cowboll. I'm on cow Bell. I just I'm flashing back it's nineteen
426
00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:51.240
eighty, maybe seventy nine, or
riding around in my Toyota Silica with a
427
00:29:51.319 --> 00:29:55.759
loover top on it, silver,
got my cassette player going a little head
428
00:29:55.799 --> 00:30:00.079
east. I'm going to assume it
doesn't matter, but Corey was not born
429
00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:03.319
yet. I'm going to guess,
Corey, were you born in nineteen seventy
430
00:30:03.440 --> 00:30:07.440
nine, nineteen eighty No, sir, I told you come on line.
431
00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:11.119
I told I knew it. I
know my Minnesota accent, and I know
432
00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:17.599
the sound of their age. Corey
is Corey is thirty one years old.
433
00:30:17.799 --> 00:30:19.559
I'm gonna say thirty ooh, thirty
five. Yeah, I was gonna say
434
00:30:19.559 --> 00:30:23.039
thirty eight. Okay, Yeah,
there we go. Welcome back to Honey
435
00:30:23.039 --> 00:30:27.000
Matters KPRC nine to fifty this year
host Joe b Tai am Ramon Robles joined
436
00:30:27.000 --> 00:30:30.680
today by Corey Myers, co founder
of Steelhead Outdoors. Corey, I was
437
00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:36.400
fortunate enough to get one of your
pistol boxes not too long ago. And
438
00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:40.400
you guys, do you do a
couple of HD pistol boxes and then handgun
439
00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:44.839
lockers and stuff like that. I
like the weight, I like the cable,
440
00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:48.559
I like the design, I like
everything about it. Why don't you
441
00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:51.119
guys, Did you guys start with
pistol boxes, you start with Safe or
442
00:30:51.160 --> 00:30:55.680
did it all come together at the
same time. Yeah, we started with
443
00:30:55.759 --> 00:31:02.039
Safe and we sell almost entirely factory
direcked. So customers call us, ask
444
00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:06.400
us questions, look on our website, and then they're buying a safe from
445
00:31:06.480 --> 00:31:11.039
us without lot oftentimes without seeing one, without touching one, and that they're
446
00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:12.640
putting a lot of trust in us
and doing that, and we're thankful for
447
00:31:12.720 --> 00:31:17.079
that. We always thought, man, if we could come up with a
448
00:31:17.119 --> 00:31:21.960
way for customers to do business with
us by taking less of a risk with
449
00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:25.839
someone they've never done business before,
what could we make We've always had that
450
00:31:25.880 --> 00:31:29.599
idea in our mind, and all
of us at work have a couple of
451
00:31:29.680 --> 00:31:33.960
pistol boxes, and we started to
realize they're all imported, and the cables
452
00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:37.200
are really light duty, and the
locks that the user are not really great.
453
00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:40.920
So we thought, we see if
we can build one to solve those
454
00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:45.720
three problems. So we started,
you know, from the ground up,
455
00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:52.519
and most boxes are stamped and spot
welded. Ours are laser cut, formed
456
00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:56.079
on the press break and then tig
welded together. And like we mentioned in
457
00:31:56.119 --> 00:32:00.599
the previous segments, the cables are
made by a local company ten miles away
458
00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:06.480
and they're made in the USA also, And it's about four times stronger than
459
00:32:06.920 --> 00:32:09.279
the cables used on any of the
other pistol boxes. If you go by
460
00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:15.640
tentil strength, it's about it's a
quarter inch to keb what's six thousand pounds
461
00:32:15.680 --> 00:32:20.480
rated me? You know, the
cable is not the ideal way to secure
462
00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:23.640
a pistol box, but when you're
traveling, oftentimes that's your best option.
463
00:32:23.839 --> 00:32:28.039
So yeah, why not go with
the best cable you can if you're forced
464
00:32:28.079 --> 00:32:30.480
to use a cable? Yeah,
yeah, like you said, traveling,
465
00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:32.599
it's great too because you can grab
it and just take it out and take
466
00:32:32.640 --> 00:32:36.039
it into your hotel room or whatever
you need to do with It's just an
467
00:32:36.079 --> 00:32:37.599
easy transport. And I like the
way you guys describe your products. So
468
00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:42.000
like, for example, on the
website, you've got the small, your
469
00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:45.160
small H two pistol box, and
it just says right there, you know,
470
00:32:45.160 -->
00:32:47.279
it's designed to fit into tight spaces, but it fits a compact pistol
471
00:32:47.279 --> 00:32:51.480
the size of a glock nineteen with
a magazine or smaller. But that pretty
472
00:32:51.519 --> 00:32:54.440
much tells you everything you need to
know. I'm sure you guys still get
473
00:32:54.440 --> 00:32:58.640
a lot of questions about your products, but I was really impressed. I
474
00:32:58.640 --> 00:33:00.480
wasn't impressed with the design struction the
fact that it was made in the US.
475
00:33:01.000 --> 00:33:05.240
And it's just you know, sometimes
when you hold a product and you
476
00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:08.359
just go, ah, it's okay, but I mean this thing is it
477
00:33:08.440 --> 00:33:14.960
is solid? It is solid?
Well yeah, and That's been a good
478
00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:20.119
seller for us because I think,
like you read about something online and you
479
00:33:20.160 --> 00:33:23.640
go to the website, and you
know, our small pistol boxes one hundred
480
00:33:23.640 --> 00:33:29.519
and seventy bucks and ship's free.
It's not, you know, chump change,
481
00:33:29.559 --> 00:33:31.359
but it's not a couple grand like
a safe. So a lot of
482
00:33:31.359 --> 00:33:35.440
people I think, go, yeah, we could take a chance doing business
483
00:33:35.480 --> 00:33:37.599
with those guys in Minnesota and see
how it goes, and then they come
484
00:33:37.640 --> 00:33:40.720
back. We have a lot of
repeat customers even on those pistol boxes already.
485
00:33:42.039 --> 00:33:44.880
What does the cord of a pistol
box do? You'll forgive me,
486
00:33:44.880 --> 00:33:46.599
I'm a novice at all this stuff. So cable you mean, yeah,
487
00:33:46.680 --> 00:33:49.720
yeah, the cable. I'm sorry, what is a cable do? Oh?
488
00:33:49.839 --> 00:33:52.240
Yeah, yeah, no problem.
So, so you have a little
489
00:33:52.279 --> 00:33:54.599
pistol box right. It weighs eleven
pounds. You can hold it in your
490
00:33:54.599 --> 00:33:59.240
hand. The most common use for
these is like in a car, can
491
00:33:59.240 --> 00:34:02.240
feel carried for holders. Go to
get your license renew you got to go
492
00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:07.319
into the cederl building. Some states, putting in the glovebox doesn't count as
493
00:34:07.359 --> 00:34:10.159
locking your thistole up. In some
instances, you might want to be more
494
00:34:10.159 --> 00:34:15.440
responsible than that, so you lock
it in a little metal pistol box.
495
00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:19.920
But now if the first customer criminals
sees that, they just grab and run
496
00:34:19.960 --> 00:34:23.000
away. So the cable you loop
around something, whether it's the seat bracket
497
00:34:23.119 --> 00:34:27.719
or something else you pull to the
car or a whole you drill, and
498
00:34:27.760 --> 00:34:30.320
then that locks in the box so
they can't just run off of it.
499
00:34:30.360 --> 00:34:34.639
You can still cut the cable,
but the trick is to make it harder
500
00:34:34.679 --> 00:34:39.119
than punch the window and run away
with the gun. Gotcha. Yeah,
501
00:34:39.239 --> 00:34:43.480
you're talking about earlier. But you
had a guy that ordered safe and you
502
00:34:43.519 --> 00:34:46.880
delivered it. So you guys are
direct to consumer. Yep, yep,
503
00:34:46.960 --> 00:34:51.760
right now we are for our safes. We're working on taking some distributors on
504
00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:54.239
the small stuff because it's just easier
to ship around and it's not customizable.
505
00:34:54.599 --> 00:34:58.360
But yeah, on our big Safes
and vaults right now, we're all we're
506
00:34:58.400 --> 00:35:01.880
all factory direct, and most of
them are customized to some extent, like
507
00:35:01.960 --> 00:35:07.159
hey, I need some extra shelves, or we set the combos for people
508
00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:09.079
before they ship out, which is
something that not a lot of people do.
509
00:35:12.519 --> 00:35:16.920
Yeah, but they ship on a
palette and five boxes and you signed
510
00:35:17.000 --> 00:35:22.400
for the palette and then the truck
driver leaves it with you, and do
511
00:35:22.400 --> 00:35:24.280
you have a helper you can carry
the pieces one at a time wherever you
512
00:35:24.360 --> 00:35:29.239
like. That's pretty cool because most
of them you're you know, you're especially
513
00:35:29.280 --> 00:35:30.320
if you never own a safe,
it's kind of they can get kind of
514
00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:32.239
intimidating. Well, it's going to
come to my house, and how is
515
00:35:32.239 --> 00:35:35.239
it going to get to my house? Especially well, I've got stairs?
516
00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:37.679
Now what do I do? And
I think that the concept of the module
517
00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:42.199
safe makes it a little a little
less daunting. You just need one buddy.
518
00:35:42.440 --> 00:35:45.239
Yeah, that's pretty cool. Yeah, I still wouldn't have enough,
519
00:35:45.320 --> 00:35:49.119
but I know, you get a
neighbor, you know, get your kids
520
00:35:50.079 --> 00:35:52.119
enough safe or enough buddies. That's
what I mean. Nobody, there's never
521
00:35:52.199 --> 00:35:58.519
enough safe. You guys offer some
I'm kind of a gear nerd, So
522
00:35:58.639 --> 00:36:00.760
you guys offer a couple of accessor
I like, because I'm a bow hunter,
523
00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:04.800
I'm an equal opportunity hunter. But
you guys have for a couple of
524
00:36:04.840 --> 00:36:07.800
cool accessors. The boatkeeper and the
casekeeper. Can you tell our listening on
525
00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:13.119
it's a little bit about those.
Yeah. So the cool part about those
526
00:36:13.079 --> 00:36:16.440
is they're very inexpensive to try out
the boatkeeper thirty five dollars and the case
527
00:36:16.519 --> 00:36:22.480
keepers forty nine dollars. It is
magnetic, so it works on any safe.
528
00:36:22.519 --> 00:36:25.440
It even works on a lot of
beer fridges or tool cabinets or utility
529
00:36:25.480 --> 00:36:30.800
cabinets. It just kind of attaches
to the upper corner. And I said,
530
00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:32.960
it's held down with magnets. And
the boatkeeper has like elongated hook that
531
00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:37.880
can go through the cam or the
or the limb of a compound ball.
532
00:36:37.519 --> 00:36:40.280
Keep it ready. A lot of
people have said, like, hey,
533
00:36:40.280 --> 00:36:43.760
I keep my bowl in the case
in the basement and the off season,
534
00:36:43.840 --> 00:36:46.360
but in summer I love hanging in
on my garage fridge or on my gun
535
00:36:46.400 --> 00:36:50.519
safe and having it ready to go
so I can shoot a couple of arrows
536
00:36:50.559 --> 00:36:54.920
every night and do my cold practice. And then the casekeeper is great because
537
00:36:55.559 --> 00:36:59.239
usually when you need your soft cases, it's right when you're standing in front
538
00:36:59.239 --> 00:37:01.599
of your gun safe, right.
And the alternative is most people crumble them
539
00:37:01.679 --> 00:37:06.199
up and shove them in a rubber
maid somewhere or shove them at the bottom
540
00:37:06.199 --> 00:37:12.039
of the safe. And then some
of those ninety dollars beautiful canvas stop cases
541
00:37:12.079 --> 00:37:15.159
get all creaked forever. So the
casekeeper lets them hang on the side of
542
00:37:15.199 --> 00:37:20.239
the safe upright, gravity helps keep
them straight. They're ready to go,
543
00:37:20.320 --> 00:37:22.400
so you grab a case, threw
a rifleing in, go out hunting,
544
00:37:23.880 --> 00:37:28.199
and then it's much more convenient than
keep them on the way. Yeah,
545
00:37:28.239 --> 00:37:30.159
I think the case I mean,
I'm a boat hunter, so I love
546
00:37:30.159 --> 00:37:31.639
the boatkeeper. But the casekeeper is
brilliant because, like you said, they
547
00:37:31.719 --> 00:37:35.000
end up in a stack in the
bottom of your closet or in a rubber
548
00:37:35.039 --> 00:37:37.119
maid or something somewhere, and then
they eat up some space. And that's
549
00:37:37.320 --> 00:37:42.039
a that's just a very efficient way
to how'd you guys come up with that
550
00:37:42.119 --> 00:37:46.440
idea? That one? Actually we
met a guy at a show who's kind
551
00:37:46.440 --> 00:37:50.960
of a looking to not make these
anymore, and we asked them, hey,
552
00:37:51.079 --> 00:37:53.840
did we like license on or something
with buy me out? And I'm
553
00:37:53.880 --> 00:37:59.800
sick of going to these shows.
So we actually like took the product line
554
00:37:59.800 --> 00:38:01.880
over from him and made it,
made it our own, added our logo,
555
00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:06.800
and got some better maignance and some
different power coding, so we put
556
00:38:06.840 --> 00:38:09.079
our own spin on it and and
yeah, so it's we're actually not the
557
00:38:09.119 --> 00:38:14.400
original ventors of that. The only
product on our on our website. Mm.
558
00:38:15.519 --> 00:38:16.559
So we got about a little bit
less than a minute left. So
559
00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:21.360
Ramona, he orders this safe today
and it's coming as far away as possible
560
00:38:21.360 --> 00:38:23.239
from Minnesota down to Texas, down
to Houston, Texas. What what's it?
561
00:38:23.280 --> 00:38:28.559
What's you going to expect on turnaround
time on something like that. Yeah,
562
00:38:28.599 --> 00:38:34.440
So we keep our like usually the
Rusty Safe, the recontactical Safe in
563
00:38:34.480 --> 00:38:37.280
the brown Nomads. We keep a
couple of each size and stock ready to
564
00:38:37.280 --> 00:38:43.400
go, and usually our taxating schedule
is two days out and then shipping time
565
00:38:43.480 --> 00:38:47.039
to Texas is pretty straightforward because there's
a good there's a really good line there
566
00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:51.239
for a couple of carriers and prab
you there three days after its ships.
567
00:38:52.440 --> 00:38:54.519
Awesome. That's cool man, Awesome, Well, Corey, thanks so much
