4 because you’ve secured our property ❤

It’s top notch because of you dad

Thermal optics...and cameras.

Instead of bushes under the windows you could use razor wire in a vertical position connected to thick buried rebar. No person could hide behind it, nor access the window because of it but keep in mind it would also negate the window as a viable exit from the inside of the home if a fire should break out.

I think "boobie traps" came from when you get hurt, it's a boo boo so it became boo boo trap/boobie trap. thanks for the info. going to set up chime cameras and solar lights for my place.

I had to look up the meaning of the word after making this video. And now we know. Thanks

"What a Boob! What a maroone!" - Bugs Bunny

Oh, I have never heard that before. Thanks for that buddy!

Also a species of bird, no?

It’s actually from the term referring to a type of bird.

Did you use the shovel? 😮

Raised flower beds or for planting veggies are an incredible addition around any homes not only do the protect your home from a vehicle they also serve as cover and concealment for you and yours if it should ever come to that 5x10x3' deep filled with soil placed strategically around the home for "decorative" purposes

Shrapnel Gnomes 😂

bird houses on 6 foot poles work well also.

​@@TheTEXMIKEI really like that idea!

I had a sign said Beware of Owner back in the day

1" steel cable!? You have no idea how heavy that is. I like the idea though!

@@seanyo2222 But you don't drag it, you would attach it along the gate so it swings with it. Loop it over the far post and shackle it when needed. Many high security installations do something similar with their gates.

Great suggestion - love it.

Similar but different. In case my dog gets out of my property and bite's someone I don't want them saying "He had a beware of dog sign so he knew his dog was aggressive and was careless" instead I'd put a "I love my Pit bulls" sign. I have a beagle but the bad guys don't know that if all they hear is barking.

Awesome. There’s so many natural barriers to entry on a property. Have you ever tried to squeeze between leyland cypresses?

I did something similar but with blackberries. Didn't take much effort as they spread easily and grow anywhere I put em. Got natural barbed wire with food source around my entire perimeter.

* looks up drawbridge systems * 😊

Também imaginei isso. 👍

Gravel works similarly.

I will forever imagine a Reddit mod when I sentence starts with actually

Thanks. 300 acres. My dream. You’re a blessed man.

Combine sensors and cameras. Magnetic sensors can confirm a vehicle compared to a human. Then combine those with a camera, cellular remotely accessible for example, to confirm the details.

Welcome!

Thank you very much!!!

Yep

Thanks

@@SurvivalDispatch Just glad to have found your channel

Good to know

I use these on all my doors and go out to work through my garage door. Once I couldn’t get my garage door to open because it was too cold for my keypad to function and I couldn’t get in my front door because the brace was on it. Fortunately I was able to remove my keypad and warm it up in my vehicle and it started working again. It was a bit scary when it happened.

Lived in a house built in 1800s on side of hill. Their food pantry was on the lower side of under the house. In the bedroom above it was a very long pole that went through a small hole to an iron loop on inside of the "pantry" door. Made it doubly secure. Lots of canning and antique machine parts were stored there. Loved that place!

Clever. I love clever locks. 👍🏼

I’m a huge fan of the iron whistling down the laundry chute into Marv’s face 😂

“Locust”

@@jrocks1971 yes I know but spell check likes to change things. Sometimes it's very naughty. Tk

Thanks! 😃

Are the dowels for whacking then? Seems a little too thick for skewering, but too narrow to not break, maybe...? I would imagine you would want to default on selecting a hardwood in any case.

So you've deterred the innocent ones from turning around but invited the guilty ones who will simply drive through the open gate 😂😂😂

You guys are ready! Thanks for your service

Thanks!!

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching

You’re so welcome! Good for you. Thanks for watching.

Nice!

Welcome!

So glad!

Awesome, thank you!

A lot of variables come into play and every building is different. Would probably be easier to just bug out. Got friends in the rural area? Don't need a video to show you how just need a group of like minded individuals to brain storm with you and solve your issues. Good Luck

My 2nd floor balcony is kinda low come to find out after I went outside to assess. Pros and cons there. Everyone in my household can jump out or drop down without killing themselves in the event of an idiot-induced fire or general need to escape. But this also allows easy access up with a simple ladder by a determined-enough person (or someone with great upper body strength). There is also the possibility of a climb down from the top floor. With that, I have pre-cut pieces of plywood, long nails, and a hammer handy to layout on the balcony planks, a saved roll of barbed wire, PPE for install, and bright portable motion sensor lights that can be put out to point directly down and out. I watch EVERYONE for patterns, behaviors, their guest level traffic, common area habits, and make sure to talk to just about everyone on some level. I don't care if they think I'm an annoying, chirpy neighbor or if they are an extreme introvert. It's all an intel gathering act anyway. 😊 I also note their vehicle type and condition (and if it's there/not there during the day, holidays, etc.), do they play music loud and way too often, do they or their guests park in the handicap spot in front, and am sure note if they often get 'love letters' from the complex on the door if we're not all getting one. More often than not this indicates someone behind on their rent or violation notice. This all provides insight. When I moved in, it was hey, how are you, so do you like living here, do you find it safe/low drama, how long have *you* been here (note the longtimers, they have more info to provide down the line) and make the initial contact generally brief. I don't necessarily give my name. They can see it partially on my mailbox and I cloak my legal government name IRL. Everyone that is not my family knows me by a nickname, including at work. If you ever move to a brand new place or job, give yourself a nickname. I did that on a whim during a life transition period years ago. If someone I don't know comes to me niw asking for LEGAL FIRST NAME, I go on internal high alert. There are only 12 apartments in my building so that helps contain the field recon work with other tenants. Another thing I register is how and when people go up and down the stairs as well as open/close their doors (front + inner). My living room is by my front door and I have often been up late and fallen asleep on the couch waking up late. I know when many tenants go to work and get home and who they are just by all the sounds they make. I know when certain visitors show up. I will for sure look through the peephole and put my ear to the door when I hear extended convos following audible knocks. I'm not above going outside to 'get something from my car' for extra discernment. This in turn has made me extremely cognizant of my audible behaviors. I am lightfooted walking and closing all my doors. I have instructed my children to do the same. I'm proud of my oldest as he visually picked up my downstairs neighbor's concealed carry while I had a brief how ya' doin' exchange while he was locking his door. I didn't notice it. In terms of neighbors, I much prefer longtimer tenants, older people (elderly & middle-aged childless/empty nest couples), and single (working hard to pay that child support) dads, or single males in the mid-upper 30's in general. As well as anyone with no-to-minimal visitors. Young families and couples I don't care for, nor ones with more than 2 small children. Those types usually flame out/get kicked out and generally don't stay long. We don't have a lot of young roommate action in my building so, so far so good there. Until I am able to go off-grid on many acres, these are some of the ways I am managing to bide my time. 😉

@@wmluna381Your observation is a good characteristics. For it is just harder to prep a apartment building. Its not your property to modify unless your willing to pay to put it back the way it was when you move on. 2nd floor balcony and jump to ground? Worst-case scenario you break a ankle on landing then what? What scenario are we playing out here? Fleeing some maniacs that just set your building on fire because they couldn't break the fortification? Now one if you have a broken ankle and are trying to flee these maniacs. Dangerous games that make you think. Not sure where all you folks living in these apartments are living. Chicago? Dangerous city to try and get out of. Well I figure most cities are these days. But would to help.

@@MrKrazyKreationz I was born and raised in NYC so I am well aware of super sketchy apartment and city living and where I live now in the suburbs of MI is no comparison (grid up). This includes the quality of neighbors even with the ones that tend to annoy me now. My balcony is less than 6 feet off the ground. All I need to do is raise my arm and touch the bottom and I am short. So yeah, I will risk a drop into the grass vs. being burned alive horde times or regular times. It's an expected worst case scenario manuever and I will be scoring some escape ladders on Amz in due time. I could never go back to live in a straight up urban area. Not for me and WAY too many dangers and obstacles to consider. I specifically picked the complex I am in because it's on a lake and butts up to a really nice park, small condo also on the lake, and some decent middle/upper middle class subs on other nearby lakes and good schools. Still not ideal as it's still apartment living (was living on 5 acres on another lake before that with chickens, etc), but generally low impact for *ASAP* horde activity. 😄 At least that's what I'm rolling with at the moment.

@@wmluna381 That is definitely a low drop. Sounds like one the best places to have a apartment also. Sounds like you have a prepared mind set. Thats very good! Keep up the great work and get those kids involved. They are the ones that are going to suffer the storms ahead of us. But make it fun and not doom and gloom. But you got this. Ever need to bounce ideas or run scenarios feel free to reach out.

Thanks! Merry Christmas

Maggie keeps a lot of the wild life off of our property.

Glad you like them!
