Pro tip: when using driveway alarms, get two that are setup one before the other a ways. The reason is 1 chime going off on one could be a moose, cat, or bird. 1 chime going then the other means someone is intentionally coming down the driveway.

These devices accomplish a couple things: A) They notify you that the boogeyman has arrived. B) They also notify the boogeyman that YOU are now aware of their presence, YOU are now taking cover, YOU now have a gun and YOU now have the advantage. Properly utilized, you have a serious force multiplier. These tools should be installed out at the further perimeter line. Use a different type at each level or zone. This will allow you to place their distance without exposing yourself. And remember...during an event, all inside lighting is OFF while all exterior lighting is ON. This process paints the perp with light while you remain concealed in the darkness behind the windows. Blessings...and dial 911 if possible.

We learned in the military, when setting up a perimeter you should place your trips far enough away to give yourself ample response time... if you are in a wooded area etc. using 4 different string lines (NSEW) will give you an indication of what direction your intruder is coming from... beverage cans with pebbles on the primary, then claymore mines, for a secondary perimeter...

Great info. I have a couple homemade devises using motion lights and a radio to scare critters out of garden. I take out one of the two bulbs. Screw in a light socket plugin adapter. Hook radio to plugin adapter make sure it's on a good station and turned up loud. I have radio inside a box on post to protect it from weather. As they come into garden area the motion sensor sees them and turns on light and radio. Scares the hell out of critters. And with a good motion light you can set it to stay on for short time or longer time. And have it only work after dusk. I have been working out trying to make a scarecrow move by the same idea. Just need to figure out the mechanics of it so it looks like a person moving in garden when activated. You could also use this idea to alert you of someone arriving. Omit the light and run an extension cord from motion light plugin adapter to inside your house. It could turn on a radio or a light in the house to inform you of their presence and will not alert them that you know they are there. Hope this helps someone keep garden safe or your home.

Something to consider to add to your perimeter defense are some pulleys, so that can configure the trip wire so that the flash goes off in front of the adversary thus taking advantage of the disorientation of the flash especially at night, the flash bag typically will take away the adversaries night vision for a few seconds, especially if untrained. Might buy you enough time to get the upper hand.

Cans line your perimeter with cans so they clank together. A few pebbles inside each can will make them louder. Learn how to make small rabbit traps to start: Snare, deadfall, pit and bow: advance to making them larger. With time and practice, practice, practice, there will be nothing you can't make. Edit: also learn how to use your terrain to your advantage. Be creative yet practical. For the long haul, something like planting blackberries around your perimeter, with a maze entrance, could stop even the unlikely zombie hoard. This will also provide a source of food. The advantage of using natural materials can also make your post invisible to potential threats passing by.

I wish you would make a general video on home protection. Here are a few of my ideas. A $1.50 wooden stick could save your life. One of the easiest ways for an intruder to get into your home is through your sliding glass door. Most people place a wooden stick at the bottom of the stationary side but this will do nothing to stop an experienced intruder. The door that slides open has a one-inch space on the top. The intruder will simply place their hands on the glass and lift it up. This causes the door to come off the track. They then kick in the bottom of the door making a triangle space through which to climb in through. This happened to me when I was not at home. Fortunately, my Husky met him at the door and he took off. The police came and showed me the intruder's handprints on the glass and explained how he did it. To prevent this, slide a 1/2 inch by 1 to 3 ft wooden stick in the top space of the sliding door to prevent the door from moving. I also place large solar lights high up and out of reach, secured with Gorilla tape on my porch and deck facing my doors. Lowe's sells them for 20 bucks. Third, when my dog is finished chewing his foot-long bone I leave it on my front porch to let them know my dog has big teeth. : ) Lastly, keep your car keys at your bedside at night. When you hear an intruder hit the car alarm on your fob. He likely will run away.

30-pound black "spider wire" type fishing line is nearly invisible located near the ground and has virtually no stretch. Wire is great but a bit easier to see and the paint will often reflect direct light. Monofilament line does not work well with the smoke caps and is also easier to see than the "Spider Wire"...day or night. I might add that the heavier weight line is HIGHLY recommended. Those cotter pins do not come nearly as easy as one might think, even with grease. Some stainless finish nails actually work better in that regard.

Shouldn't be a problem if you have the setup for reloaded 12 gauge shells. Not sure but I don't think it can be done without the press. I would Not put a primer in the shell without the press.

Exactly what I was thinking might be covered in the video. Something a little more stealthy and that doesn't let the detected know that you are aware of their presence.

You know baby monitors with battery backup is a very good way for monitoring areas like your garage or anywhere in between thereof if you get the baby monitors with a 1000' range on them, I have one in my garage and one day it payed off 2 little boys saw my garage door open and decided to explore in my garage and I heard them from inside my house I scared the crap out of them but they did not take anything so that was good, but it works great.

The best perimeter alarm for a residence is one that the trespasser cannot hear, but that the residents can hear. That way, the residents have surprise on their side. It is also good to have an alarm that resets itself so you do not have to go outside to manually reset the alarm. As a back-up in case of power failure or EMP, it is good to have a couple of smaller size indoor dogs who will alert you if they hear or see through the windows anything unusual. And above all, it is good to have a secure perimeter such as sturdy fence or wall around the property with entry by an electronic gate and call box. This way a visitor must wait for the resident to decide whether to open the gate so the visitor can drive a vehicle onto the property (or so a visitor can drive the vehicle off the property). This is how the very rich protect the perimeters of their mansions and they can afford any type of security they desire.

I like the idea of a whistling firework instead of a shooting sound. For many reasons. Like: You wake up and you dont know if someone is already shooting or it's an animal setting your alarm. In the middle of shooting you could miss it. It's too loud for common use. On the other hand in SHTF world an option of adding a can with black powder to a primer to cause some damage or a flash or to release gas or smoke seems alright

Not really SHTF stuff, but solar powered motion activated lights are great. They are relatively inexpensive and serve the purpose of lighting up pieces where you walk and alerting you if something is in that area. Add security cameras and DIY equipment to the mix as you see fit. There are so many options for security cameras with them starting under $40, there's not really an excuse not to have them surrounding your property. In these SHTF videos, I'm always expecting pungi traps or some medieval looking stuff. I'm picturing all the stuff from Predator and First Blood.

I usually see the motion lights set facing away from the "house". I was considering setting some up on stakes at a distance with the sensor facing inward. This would allow the perimeter to be set further away and avoid them being triggered if someone/animals aren't trespassing, for instance when camping. Hopefully, the outer perimeter would deter the intruder at that distance. The other nice camping advantages are, if they are staked near the ground, neighbors won't have light shining in their direction, you won't have them shining in your face, and you can use them instead of flashlights if you need to move around after dark. A secondary ring, set higher and nearer the entry points could be facing outward. The outer perimeter could be set far enough away that it isn't making your tent/house visible while interfering with the intruder 's night vision. Also, stakes would allow the lights to be repositioned so they aren't predictable.
