Good advice

I live on 11 acres and I have never had problems with anything besides wandering cattle living in an open range state. Had to put up fences and shoot them with a kid's BB gun. They don't like the sting. But I never worry about mobsters or hoarders. I don't see the concern. I'm not into conspiracies anymore.

@@user-sk7zc1fc5u It's not about "conspiracies". It's just about being prepared. It's fantastic if things don't devolve into a chaotic mess. It's perfect if society continues to function and carries on the way it's intended - but in the event it doesn't a small amount of preparedness could be the difference between you being a victim and/or statistic. I'm a disabled combat veteran from the US and let me be the first to tell you that I've visited plenty of places where their denizens thought exactly the way you do now, only to learn the hard way they were wrong about "not seeing the concern".

@@user-sk7zc1fc5u Just because you have never had a problem when the world was functional does NOT mean that you won't have problems if that changes. People don't wear seatbelts because they think they are going to be in a car accident that trip, they wear them as a safety net in case you happen to be part of that 0.001% that wrecks that day. The issue isn't that something seems likely, it's that IF it all goes wrong then you don't want to find yourself screwed because of poor planning, laziness, or complacency that "nothing bad is going to happen". Considering the history of humanity and the current direction things are going, it seems quite prudent to be prepared for a day that you are ENTIRELY on your own. Sure, it might all be a "waste" of time, but so is wearing your seatbelt almost every single time...but we don't argue against that. It just depends on if you want to be prepared for someone showing up to murder you and take all your stuff, or do you want to bet your life (and possibly all of those around you) that it will 100% NEVER happen to you. It might be easy to dismiss a few "conspiracies" as being extremely unlikely (say zombie apocalypse) but there are literally millions of scenarios in which you find yourself in a similar situation. WW3, zombie apocalypse, massive solar storm fries all electronics on Earth, natural event that causes chaos in your local area (or state or country), riots, civil war we could go on and on about situations in which THIS stuff could be the difference between being alive at the end of it, or you checking out on day 1 from being murdered (or day 3 from no water). Since all of these require the same basic setup and supplies then it seems far smarter, in my opinion, to just prepare yourself and be covered from ANY of them. If you are just focused on "conspiracies" then you are failing to acknowledge ALL of the other ways disaster can strike, and there are far far far more of those.

Would you shot someone that like enters your driveway or ranch entrance by mistake, or someone just wondering for unknow reasons on foot?

They do that because they know you can't stop them. What if it were legal for you to shoot them on sight? Do you think they would be so brazen? Would you not stay up and try to guard your herd?

Our horses used to love eating the Osage orange fruit.

@@kokonanana1 Very interesting, thanks. I know many animals avoid the fruit, but have never heard anything about horses. I will have to keep that in mind. Thanks again.

The fruit is edible by cattle and horses. It must collected though and cut up. Most animals will choke on it. Also, there is a way for humans to use as medicine. KZfaq has videos by herbalist. If anyone has these trees collect the fruits and put in a line where you want your fence to be.

Osage Orange is the species name but it is commonly called a hedge tree here in Missouri. There is no better wood to use for posts, especially large corner posts. I don’t know of anyone that uses it as firewood since it burns so hot that it would melt the side out of most wood stoves and then catch the house on fire.

I knew everything except it's resistance to rot. Very interesting, and great suggestion

How do u think you will hang a gate if the hangers face each other?

@@ronskancke1489 generally the top hinge is secured with a bolt. Face your top hinge pin down, loosen the gate hinge and slide it to where you need it. We started doing this years ago after we had cattle lift the gate off the hinges.

Several well-trained dogs actually

I’ve found my English mastiffs to be the best alarm, deterrent and resolution. I prefer 3-4 mastiffs with a miniature dog like a doxie. You don’t really think you need to wind up the big dogs until you get the tiny yapper but the difference is nite and day. I’ve never found a group of ppl that want to face even one 200+ lb mastiff much less 3-4 of them. They really do defend and fight as a team with protecting their humans always their primary goal. They don’t eat as much as most ppl think because they aren’t as active as most other guard dogs. They are more of a don’t make me get up than just let me eat you now. Almost all of mine are more of a let me knock you down and stomp you to dust but they do have teeth and will bite. Not that all puppies don’t need lots of training but they do train the younger ones within the herd.

@@virgilwalker683 I think a nuke war will make it worse, because so much of the supplies and soil will be tainted for such a long time, especially in places where there's minimal rainfall to push the fallout underground. There may be quite a lot of people who survive the fallout, and they'll be dangerously hungry. The ones with cancer might even be more dangerous, because they'll have much less to lose.

Problem is, the only people who can get away with that are the real psychopathic criminals masquerading as "good people", while their innocent victims will get unjustly killed with no consequences, or be punished beyond measure for doing the same thing if they are actually justified in self defense

Where can I get that sign? C Lentz.

@@connielentz9191 The last time I saw one was at a gun show in Houston, Texas about 10 years ago...I'm sorry but I don't remember what company had that booth

Mine says WARNING NO TRESSPASSING, under it says YOU ARE IN RANGE. Another one says please carry id so we can notify relatives.

These types of signs are not a good idea. Should you ever legitimately need to defend yourself, and are "successful" these types of signs can show premeditated intent in a court of law, even if you really were legitimately defending yourself and under threat. Posting a sign like this can take you from lawful self-defense to premeditated murder. "No trespassing, no soliciting, no exceptions" is actually a better alternative.

Thanks for the advice

Grandma's family lineage in Scotland had a thistle on their family crest shield. I inherited my stubbornness. 😂

The new Zealand Maori would build their villages traditionally on Pa (mountain tops) sites, so they could see any potential enemies coming toward the. Plus, it would tire out them before they even reach the top. They built the villages at the peak, while the descending slopes would be constructed in a step formation about the half the height of the average human. Climbing one of these steps a very exhausting feat. Let alone five of them. It made protecting the villages so much easier. As you could see 360 degrees in any direction.

Any group of people entering an area without up to date intelligence will always be at an operational, physical, and psychological disadvantage. A smart group will divide and probe before committing large groups of people with experience or vehicles with tools. Aun inexperienced group will wander aimlessly into our defensive area with no plans on what to do. The open area between the inner perimeter and the outer perimeter allows the use of many types of tricks and traps deigned to slow, injure, and stop activity between the two perimeters. When used well, people and vehicles can be deterred away long before they reach the inner perimeter. When not deterred to abandon their intrusion, intruding people and vehicles can de slowed, stopped, or grouped tougher which makes addressing, incapacitating, capturing, or eliminating them easy and effective. This defense can be conducted economically and efficiently with a combination of accurate long range weapons fire in combination with spring traps, wire traps, fire traps, chemical traps, natural gases, biological material, and animals. The tricks and traps can be rearranged to throw off re-entry of the same intruders and to keep people from figuring out weaknesses to exploit. The use of countersniping and counterintelligence will be crucial in maintaining your operational security and personnel security. This prevents someone someone outside your outer perimeter to conduct long term surveillance on your location to dissect for weaknesses. If you can capture an intruder to interrogate, capture their equipment for parts, or capture their resources for supply, you’ll know much more about whom and what you’re dealing with outside your outer perimeter. You’ll also get an idea of what it’s like outside your outer perimeter. That information will allow you to know better about how long you can stay at your location and where you may be able to go if you must vacate the area. Leaving your prepared location can put you at a severe disadvantage because your perimeter becomes much smaller, tighter, almost non-existent. You become the intruder entering unknown areas with little to no information and virtually no way to prepare for what may be there. Your disadvantage in traveling becomes more severe when you don’t know where you’re going, when you don't know if your destination is viable, and if you don't know how you can get there with no serious issues. When moving from one known safe place to another location of unknown status, you must be prepared to face opposition and be attacked all along your route. You just be prepared to alter course into unknown territory perhaps needing to abandon your transportation which will be holding much of your supplies. You must be prepared to be trapped, captured, separated, and worse.

These millions of people coming from cities...are they marching in rank to each individual farm? No. They are going to spread out. Gas will run out, cars stuck in traffic for miles, and if there was enough time and means of communication to gather an attacking force...theres enough time and means of communication to gather a defending force. Granted the farms immediately next to the city are screwed. But as you disperse it only evens out the number advantage. Not to mention they will be exposed to the elements , get sick, injured etc.
