Solution: garden gnomes full of tannerite.

My dad had an interesting problem back when I was a kid. Our ranch shared a fence with another and our side of the fence was easier to drive. The problem is, we had just planted hay fields and any driving would cause big ruts and damage the field and hay. The fence came down to the county road and on one side was a gate that went in our property and on the other side was a gate that went onto their property. The ranch hands for the neighboring ranch were lazy and decided to drive our field instead of theirs. My dad called up the ranch and asked them to keep out of our property. It is posted. A couple weeks later, they do it again. This time my dad calls them and tells them to make sure it never happens again. He then pulled out an old sickle from a mower and welded a couple steel rods to the underside edge. About 50 feed into our property he dug a small trench and then pounded the sickle down into the trench with a hammer and covered it with debris. A couple weeks later there was a jeep with four flat tires sitting in our hay field. Never had a problem again.

When I was living in suburbia, a flat board with nails sticking up on the inside of the fence worked great, one night someone jumped the fence, I heard the scream and saw the blood. So I believe it did it's job.

Just an idea that I have put in use at my home - I painted the inside of my fence white, then painted every tree, the side facing directly at the house, up to about 6 feet white as well. The wife thought I was losing my mind, but when we actually had someone try to sneak up on our house I made sure she noticed that even though he was hiding behind a tree every time he leaned out his silhouette stood out against the white background. He didn't see the white because from the road the trees weren't painted so he thought he was hidden. Try it, it works like a charm, unless you are in a neighborhood with home owners association rules or care about resale value lol.

Large dogs are still the most useful " Area Denial Devices " .They also act as an early warning system

Best area denial is to plant cactus along your fence line; that way no one can sue you for placing man traps.

In any SHTF scenario, you need to create groups for your survival. Partner with many neighbors will help. Create a stronghold.

what many people dont realize is that the Home Alone movies are actually instructional classes disguised as family friendly entertainment

Kind of interesting how this is becoming increasingly more relevant. Crazy world .

These devices and options are used only when the SHTF situation. In normal circumstances, I would not recommended. Lawyers are loved to go after these cases for easy money.

Mesquite trees with big thorns. When you trim the tree , lay the branches where you expect intruders. Some of those thorns will go thru tenny shoes/basketball shoes

The garden hose may not arise too much suspicion laying under leaves, however if you have some old scraps of black "Soaker" hose it will blend in FAR more effectively. Broken glass and metal fragments can be set into thin concrete or plaster "pavers" poured in pie tins or foil baking pans so that the shards do not sink into the ground, have more penetritive strength, and can also be moved if necessary.

Grandpa always said "pull and save all the rusty nails". In Mexico, home owners stick bottles into the top of concrete walls, neck down, kind of like we would use barbed wire. The broken edges sticking up. Love the water hose idea. Thanks for sharing. I just planted some bamboo. It has many uses.

I use a combination of cactus, rose bush, and locust. It gives you options on different elevations of plants. Natural barriers, that you can use to move people/animals where you want them. I use these along with dogs. The dogs will stay out of the cactus, and can get under the roses and locust trees. If the dogs get someone running in the dark on my place it is going to be a bad night for them.

For home defense, consider a sheet of particle board with various nails sticking through it. Lay boards in front of windows outside and bury them with loose leaves and debris. Intruders who try to break into a window will step on nails.

Carpet tackstrip worked great for me. The block wall on west side was built up because someone dumped the cement in a pile. That was an easy up for anyone jumping over the wall. On the other side my elevation was low and I couldn't look over the wall. I took carpet tackstrip and construction glue and glued all the way down the wall 30 ' and 4' down the wall, so when they get on the cement pile they grab the tackstrip. Worked like a charm 😄

Thank you , i set up a trap with with crab apple branches . Long natural thorns that could puncture radial tire . layed them out behind my garage , where people sneak into my yard . trust me it worked . no more trouble . found bloody tee shirt on the ground back there weeks later

"Area Denial Devices" is one way of doing it. Another would be the opposite: "Area Acceptance Devices". Guide intruders into the exact location YOU want them to be in. Once YOU have them where YOU want, well you can then deal with them as you wish. You need to think about 1 intruder, 2, 10 or a HORDE! And have plans for each. Before SHTF about all that's "legal" is "No Trespassing" Signs. Cameras are ALWAYS a good item. Also loud alarms. I like the sign that says: "IF YOU CAN READS THIS - YOU'RE IN RANGE" After SHTF - whatever you have available.

Do more of these

CHARLIE IS PRACTICAL & TACTICAL. Thanks for the great tips. Your videos are very helpful. You bring up topics that sometimes are so obvious they get overlooked. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

Just need a sign that says "if you hear a shot, I missed, and am reloading!" Works every time.

Fish hooks hanging off tree limbs with some very strong fishing line are pretty good to slow people down and hurts like hell if its stuck in your skin etc gets stuck in clothing gear etc etc. Think it of invisible barbed wire lol

My HOA is going to love these home improvements.

Charlie: we could be dealing with tetanus, infection ..... Me: pre-rusts the nails to add an extra layer of protection. Thanks Charlie 😉👍

Nails in you spike strip are too long. Tried it, folded clean over. Used inch and a half and worked perfect.

I'm subscribed to so many outdoor, survival, and similar channels that I'm truly shocked you're just now popping up on my radar. Top quality content so far. Can't wait to see what else you've uploaded and future uploads!

This is for when SHTF folks

I’m all about home defense and I know this is suppose to be used in SHTF scenarios , but just so ppl are aware most states have laws that say it’s illegal to booby trap your property and you can be sued heavily if someone is injured on your property

Poke the holes in the hose. Remove and rebox the nails. When questioned about the hose it's a drip irrigation line.

There are giant nasty thorny Roses, bred for planting in a hedge, under windows, or anywhere else you'd like to make someone bleed. Bouganvillas or cactus are great in warmer climates.

Victor Charlie was extremely expert in area denial defense! Murphy was a wise man & Epstein didn’t kill him self

t is also a simple idea to place cameras out from the dwelling looking back. This will give you a view of the "blind spots" behind a tree and eliminate those blind spots. They can't hide if you are standing behind them. It will let you watch an intruder as they approach your dwelling.

I love these ideas, I have done this to a certain degree in landscaping be projects, using thick privacy hedges and thorny plants to create natural barriers

I worked for a utility company for years. On the top inside of a wood fence some of our customers placed carpet tack strips to keep people from pulling up or climbing over the fence. I can tell you if it is placed with the spikes down you will not climb or pull up on the fence.

Use seashells. I have seen people (especially in 3rd world/developing countries) use whole or broken seashells, especially conch shells.

I still like the options that carpet tack strips have.

The best area denial device is centuries if not millennia old technique. Head on a pike. 💀

Cactus should be put in blind spots

First and foremost, know your enemy. Most threats come from within. The garden hose is great but if you have dogs, then they can't be in that area of denial. Lights are great for area defense because nobody can hide in the light, so motion detectors, if even for a bell when someone steps onto the property, would allow one to watch zones according to ringtones. Indiscriminate wounding/ maiming/ killing devices are just that and you could accidentally find yourself with a 3 inch nail through your foot, knee or neck. Keep magazines full and stay aware and alert. A smoke detector only works if you're sober and able to wake up, get up and be aware of the situation quickly. Great vid, love your channel.

I'm very glad I found this because I'm having trouble with my neighbors and others turning in my driveway and leaving mud trails from tires is frustrating that they come onto my property and don't respect so this is my last option and I'm happy to use this. but remember in some states there are different rules and where I'm from you have to put a sign up letting them know warning ⚠️ so hopefully this will work because I'm so tired of people being disrespectful no one cares so I have to give them a surprise!!!!!♡ happy birthday!!!

I’m in Canada the criminals have more rights than the victims. I’d be arrested and sued for everything I have.

those nails x4, could also be used to create a tetrahedron for caltrops. If you dont weld, then you can always solder. also, planting spiked or thorny rosebushes behind trees is also good too. good video.

I use bush and climbing tea rose plants they are very thorny and do not let louse very easy plus have beautiful flowers. Love your channel , Keep up the great videos.

I knew I held onto that bad/old/broken in many spots, garden hose for a reason!!!!!

Rebar might work good too.

Subscribed. Been on KZfaq since the beginning. This is the best coverage of this topic I have ever seen.

How about plant some century plants...curved teeth and long sharp needles on tips...6 ft tall by 8x10

Instructions unclear launched mini-nuke on noisy neighbors.

A few more honorable mentions keep in mind to me SHTF means no legal ramifications... 1) Vietnamese Ankle Trap: dig a few small holes on aproach behind trees (not illegal by they're own right) extra credit: take 2 small boards drive nails through, attach boards 6-8 inches apart with leather/pelt/hide/rope. Lay across the hole. They step on hidden vertical nails hidden by foliage = ouch or they step in the hole and lacerate the whole ankle. 1 man slowed = all slowed. Extra extra credit rub raw animal blood or feces on the nails to inflict sepsis. 2) Moats and Fire Corridors: Pretty self explanatory dig moats to prevent spread of fire to parts you don't want on fire. Namely anything not part of the trap. No sense defending a pile of ash in an ash forest. Next grow very flammable plants set fire to deny very large areas and seperate and confuse 3) The Mace Tripwire that release heavy spiked weight. Rotting limbs work very well though small heavy rocks with wood spikes tied off are effective as well. 4) World Famous Pungee Sticks The spike pit... need I say more extra credit: rub sticks with blood (to attract predatory animals for food) or feces (inflict sepsis) but never both as you don't want to taint the meat (for the animals NEVER EAT HUMAN FLESH)

This is awesome. I first seen this in Home Alone. Very effective.

Very helpful and useful info...thanks for the ideas

"not telling you to sharpen sticks or hurt people..." *shows how to conceal a hose full of nails instead*

Tip... use 4 angles of nails bc tires can lay down the nails just like you stated the sticks would. Also... hide the strip in a pjece of pvc pipe. You can have it remote control by using a remote light receptacle from lowes wired to a motor and wire drum like a romex roll.

One that honestly still works great for me: Fishing line and a tin can. One of the simplest to set up, easy to fix, and yet always works because everyone forgets about it

Rocks/ boulders work to. I find mind in secluded wooded areas. It's practically free and plus I love being in nature.

Cactus Sword type plants, would be area denial, but just landscaping.

1/2" plywood cut to needed shape with 3" wood screws put thru it pointed up. As well as some going thru it and into the ground to keep it in place. Paint the screw points as close to ground color as possible and cover plywood with dirt , leaves , pine needles or whatever the natural ground cover was for that area. Devices can be stored in garage rafters until deployment is needed. They also are incredibly effective against vehicle tires when placed and disquised where vehicles are likely to come over during approach .

Thanks for the info!

Thank You so much for your videos~

Your 3" or 4" nails bent at 90° and spot welded together make perfect anti-personnel caltrops

Great Video. A lot of it is not applicable to the United Kingdom where I live, due to our differing laws and legal stances ( sadly ) on weapons and construction of devices and furniture that could cause/intend harm ( No glass cemented onto the top of Brick walls for example ) but other parts are good advice that can be applied to deter criminals as well ( main threat at this time in the UK ) Deter Criminals Have Curtains, Drapes/nets or shutters fitted to your windows and use them.....so easy to scout out a houses contents through a clear window especially if house lights are on at night. Tall hedges, plants and fences between your house and public roads/pavements ( sidewalks ) that block line of sight to your house and the public are a godsend to criminals who can use them as cover to attempt entry without fear of a passer-by seeing them. Strong and sturdy fences are actually preferred by burglars as they are easier to climb, a weaker fence with a " trellis " on top with spiky plants such as roses is harder to climb and will often collapse under a persons weight...burglars detest these because of the thorns and the noise. CCTV is essentially useless if its not a live feed and alert system. Most criminals are not deterred by it and you will simply have a recording of someone breaking into your house with faces covered as a sad memento that the police cannot use due to difficulty of identification. The CCTV that rings you up and says you have visitors is very effective. Light and Noise are not a burglars friend. Security lights fitted high up ( out of tamper reach, out of bin liner thrown over light reach ) covering the back of the house or blind spots. Gravel/shingle pathways and drive ways and rusty/squeaky gates are effective. Burglars hate dogs. All Dogs. Of any size and type.......Even a sign up " Beware of Dog " a few dog toys strewn about can be a deterrent. Good quality Burglar alarm. Not all the bad guys are stupid and they do know what dummy alarms look like. Just a few tips.

Big XL treble hooks hung from tree limbs painted to blend in works great too. I hang them in choke spots or blind spots with low hanging limbs. I use 100 or more pound fishing line and hand them in varying heights from 4 to 6 feet. I will hang 10 or so in one spot to get them multiple times and cause them to retreat.

Fantastic idea! Good job!

One more thing, use stirring straws cut to 1or2 inches over the nails just like the police spikes have tubes on them to "bypass" tire slime or other flat prevention chemicals.

More videos like this please.

Love the hose and nails! Been thinking about making caldrops, but have logistical constraints. All I need now are nails. Now I have a use for my leaky water hose! If someone got hung up in it, turn on the cold water!!

GARDEN HOSE,, thanks great idea,, Never thought of that

Easy to make caltrops from remnants of concrete reinforcement wire. Cut it into X shaped pieces, about 2-1/2 inches long, and bend each side at about 30 degree angle on either side of the weld. Should always have 1 point up when thrown on the ground.

Put that hose with nails on the end of a high pressure/flow hose full rip to the effect of whipping around wildly and you've got your self bout 30+ foot of area denial.

excellent work and video! watch this one!

Thanks, Charlie! 🤗❤️👍👋

Just a thought on the stakes, possible substituting jagged edged flat rocks might be an interesting idea. That way you could just arrange them to look like a planter around the base of the tree.

I just want to know how long it took to stack all those 4x4 posts.

The spike hose is simple and impressive. Thanks.

I have a few of those cheap magnetic door/window alarms in my bugout bag with some fishing line as perimeter alarms.

I use iron poles in the ground and steel cable as trip wire and dig ditches before and after each set with fishing bells on them. It makes it a gigantic pain in the ass to walk through. They also sell inexpensive perimeter alarms on EBay. Should also use trail cameras with the camo that matches your terrain. Battery or solar powered flood lights around your entire perimeter along with cameras as long as power is on.

Blackberry bushes are part of my home defense

That spike strip is very good. Versatile and extremely cheap to make in a large quantity.

Great video, thank you!

Fantastic and realistic. We need more of these security hardening/area denial device videos 👍🏼 keep up the great work.

One issue with the hose is that in Texas is that ownership of a tire deflation device is a felony! Be careful, know your laws!

That water hose is truly briliant!!!! 3 or 4 expanding out around trees will be exellent

I like that garden hose hack. They make black garden hoses as well, better for blending into the environment

What do you think about having some old fence boards, so they are weathered and blend in, with nails poking through...you put them out nail side down, then later when you deploy them, simply turn over, now with rusty nails side up. Not a hazard until you deploy. To me quicker and less obtrusive than your garden hose idea, though I like it too!

Funny how I learned this from a game called Block'n load. When our enemies ninja us they use our pillbox and barricades for their cover to sneak in and flank us, so we started putting caltrops on the other side of the barricade if we cant afford to use radars. This, however, translated to real life by different means.... I mean, we didn't plant them there, but we have a minefield of fire ant nests around on our provincial house. Invisible, volatile, no upkeep, effective. They even change locations every year.

Good thinking explained well

Charley was the best on this channel. Bring back Charley…please!

I found that the best way to deflate my tires is to use nails with a hollow core, it takes too long when I use regular nails. But that's just my experience... results may very.

*The nails are a bit too long which increases the odds tires can simply push them over & temporarily flatten them. Also, most people don't really step that high so shorter nails will ensure shoes don't just push the nails over. Peace.*

Wow thank you for the good info

Amazing info. Thank you.

Watching this is gonna land me on a list of some type. Surprised this isn't suppressed

I'm not telling you to sharpen sticks but nails in water hose is a recommendation. Lol

Very smart. Good ideas.

Very smart. thanks

Suburban weekend warrior fantasies are amazing..,.. ”What are you doing in the yard Bob?” ...”Survival Dispatch say we need to become a hard target.” .... “OK, well don’t hurt yourself....are you still going to cut the lawn?”....”Yes Barbara! After I complete the Area Denial System, jeez!”

I also think the hose with spikes has a secondary use. it could be used as a whip for self defense.

like yalls background, end cut wall is a nice touch. great video also.

You could paint the hose too, i really like the idea of putting those in areas of cover for invading. You could also spike the tree so a person Couldn't use trees for standing cover as well. This is a cool video and gets ya thinking.
