Three Quick & Easy Tripwire Alarms For Your Campsite
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ย. 2024
- Campsite security is a critical survival component that I used to overlook. As time progressed, I saw the absolute need for strong perimeter security, whether it's a true SHTF situation or a just a hiking trip to the backcountry.
After choosing a campsite, take a bit of time to patrol and secure the perimeter. It doesn't have to be complicated, it can be simple and easy with a simple deadfall trap or e alarm connected with fishing line or snare wire.
The options abound for tripwire alarms, ranging from air horns, mouse traps and more. Have fun with it, get out in nature, experiment and find what works best for you.
Then kick back and chill, knowing any apex predators strolling into your campsite will trip your alarms, giving you enough time to react to the potential threat.

It is important to use different trip alarms with distinct sounds. This way you know which direction it came from.
That's great advice Jim!
Maybe something you can hear and be warned but not whoever trip that alarm. If you know they are coming but they don't know that you know is probably the best. It gives you time to prepare response or exfil if is to many of them.
@@Casper1907they make window alarms for deaf people. A light turns on instead of a loud noise. That would be perfect for what your suggesting 💯
My favorite alarm is the clip on bells sold for clipping onto fishing poles.
They are small and packable for travel. Metal, they are paintable to whatever color you need.
Simple and effective
Nicely done!👍 I have the same setup with the alarm and spider wire. For myself security is everything in a shtf situation or get home. Even camping I’m always checking. Don’t need some junkies walking in.😂🍻
Can’t beat the ealarm and fishing line especially for the urban environment. Glad ya liked it
When I used to stay in motels I would stack up pots and pans and bottles in front of the door.. Door opens and clang bang crash, I'm awake. You could do the same with a trip wire and tin cans at a campsite.
smart thinking
Try bells and gator clips ,. I have 4 different bells and I always use the same bell for each of the cardinal direction to reduce any confusion when you are waking up
good idea, sounds simple and effective
I always take my primer alarms and my German shepherds camping. With that and my guns I'm safe
Yup I'd say your covered :)
I 2nd That 😉
Maybe stress the importance of placing your noise maker as close to your camp as possible so your more likely to hear it, plus the ease of resetting the trap if needed. Cool video.
Thanks for the tips!
Yeah I don't recommend tripwires. Any evasion situation. I recommend glue sticks. You can make them thin as a human hair. Or thick as a fishing line. You can put them all over your campsite. With one glue stick you can make about 50 lines. You got to cut the glue stick into Little triangle pieces and then Mount one end to the branch to the other. Always like the glue stick separately and then melt them onto branches and stretch them to about 5 to 10 ft. Nothing beats it. I could string one up in about 5 minutes 50 perimeter line. And then I'll know if someone's been in my campsite or trailing behind me and I can leave them astray. Practice with a glue gun. It's safer. Only a very experienced tracker would ever be able to notice anything. Good luck on your video
never considered using a glue stick, thanks!
@@TheSurvivalOutpost yeah the guy who taught me this stuff. With the glue sticks. Didn't want me talking about it. You could use glue sticks against intrusions . On doors. By making small spider webs. Another extra layer of protection. They can be put on Windows. Hundreds of different uses. I'm trying to make videos on this. Good luck with your videos
You are pretty good at bullsh!ting people huh. I'm surprised nobody has called you on that sh!t in 3 years 💯 your "tip" sounds like a 12 yr old boyscout had a fever dream and wrote it down when he woke up. I'm sorry but I've been into this sh!t for years and years and all my life basically. I use glue stix for every survival hack, tip, trick, pointer, bushcrafting in a pinch type sh!t you could think of (🤔 well maybe not that YOU could think of as yours is a pretty advanced imagination clearly) and if you can stretch a gluestick 5-10feet as thin as a hair, then your the official badass mf of the woods, forests, jungles, swamplands, hell your the glue stick guru. Making "spider webs" and whatnot 🙄 I'll play hide and seek with you any day my friend. You bring your glue stix. And I'll bring my little trip/trap kit and I bet not only can I track you down every time, stalk right into your campsite, grab a bite to eat from your cooler, but also I bet you cannot do the same thing to me.
Btw you know those little UV flashlights that make pet p!ss glow when you shine it on the carpet? It'll also turn your "glue sticks spiderwebs" into glow in the dark silly string without it even having a good battery in it, from across the whole forest. Just sayin

I really like the Clapper, it has a distinctive sound that’s not normal
Yup that's what I really like about.
And rattle snakes love to bed down in those palmettos.
Great video! I enjoy camping and mostly Im solo. Its always nice learning new things and new ways of "old things". Keep up the good work! I just liked and subscribed.
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. I'm heading to the Smoky Mountains via motorcycle and camping. I was concerned about bears and seeing up a perimeter to alert me to wildlife.
Have fun and most important seal up your food!
what, no punji sticks? next time you'll have to pack in your own Firewatch Private. thanks for sharing, Leatherneck. Semper Fi.-Scout
Sorry bro, I can't advocate for lethal traps on TH-cam lol...guess firewatch will be lonely :D But if you're interested in a good book on the subject check out the Trappers Bible -> amzn.to/2GNCxi8
Semper Fi
Great video as always, can’t wait for the next 39 👍
Thx Mac! Up next is my new EDC with Trayvax gear
Going backcountry camping in a few weeks and thought I'd check what others are doing in this regard. For the reasonably forest-savvy, skip the intro material and go to 6:00. But after watching thru, I wouldn't use any of the three methods he used. One was overkill, the next two not loud enought to wake me, and im a light sleeper. Instead I would rig a noise-maker right next to my head for mainly when Im sleeping. Fishing line and a bell of some kind, or can full of pebbles as one commenter suggested.
Great suggestion, I've tried out the can + pebbles option, however in this video I was focused on using natural materials. Maybe there is a rusted can I luck out and find, but usually there is no trash around I can use and I don't pack cans in my gearset
Thanks mate.. Great video.. Keep it up!! seriously i learn something..😊
Glad to hear that!
Now you guys just have to see the most impressive device of all ;)
Checkout the Lockhart Tactical STATAS!
That is an awesome device, would you be interested in partnering up for a review? Let me know at admin@thesurvivaloutpost.com
The clapper looks awesome I like it ,
Thanks, its def a unique design, but simple which I prefer.
Thank you U S Army ! The skills I have picked up in combat are still strong and functional today ! I like a motion light along with rocks within a can then a at a closer range a pump shotgun ! All criminals know this universal sound and the effect.
The good ole pump shotgun, the ultimate in Perim security :)
Trip wires are usually most effective strung at ankle height
Yes great point especially when wiring for humans
That electronic alarm is too loud and constant. I want to hear if the intruder is running off or not. I like the single loud bang or whatever so I can listen after.
Great point, you can't hear anything until that alarm goes off...
That was a killer intro with badass tunes.
Thanks, that’s my current favorite soundtrack...kinda reminds me of Van Halen
Sounds to me like a remix of seperate ways by journey
love the video ... should we sleep in shifts...do we need night vision...should we build a tree house security stand...how much ammo and weaponry do we need to keep wendigis,sasquatches.,skunk apes and ghosts 👻 away from our camp site...ty
Probably need to upgrade to claymores for perimeter security :)
Enjoyed the video!
Your channel is one of my favorites!!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing!!!!!
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Awesome! Thank you!
Best use a portable electric bear fence for camping.
Not a bad idea :)
Safety, part of that for this scenario we called this Personal Admin in the Army. I see so many ppl not do this. Cook eat wash up, oh well I need that in morning leave it out. As you use something pack it away, then should you need to leave pack, sleeping bag, shelter over your shoulder bug out, you got all your gear
Gotta stay organized or you will lose important gear
Stay off of game trails, nesting sites and anywhere animal leavings are, indicating predators frequent the area. Keep in mind, other critters are gonna come to drink too, if you shack-up near water. Perimeter alarms/early warning is a good idea, along with a means of self-protection.
*don't trip over your own tripwire
Thank you buddy great terrain and content . Very helpful
Glad ya liked it Warlan!
Very simple very effective... thank you for your tutorial and explainations of... watch about a mouse trap
Appreciate your time and effort
Glad it was helpful!
Great video but we are lucky down here in Australia NO apex preditors only a few stray pumas left over after WW2 mascots and they stay away
I have my B.O.L.
its 30 miles frpm tpwn on the backside of a hill in a gully so you can only see my from a plane
I have a network of trip wires set up and not on game trails as the kangaroos get up to 7ft tall
So trips there dont work
The Roos are also good alarms in themselves they are used to me but run and make a lot okf noise when someone else is around
My car gets me to a close as possible thwn my quad bike gets me to wirhin 200 meters its hidden under a deadfall tent like set up and bald tyres dont leave much of a trak
Great to watch you
Cheers phil
B.T.W. me exSAS
ranger in your language
So i have a bit of experience
Cheers phil
Appreciate the input especially for a guy with experience. Excellent shelter side, I can't think of a better position. Sounds like that deadfall provides alot of coverage from above and good concealment I'd guess. Water sources in the AO I presume? 7ft Roos lol, I can't even imagine, guess no trip wires for sure!
As a woman camping alone I prefer to be able to see who is around
Cool video. Some soda cans with a few rocks inside of them on a trip wire work pretty loudly when ran onto by an intruder.
That’s a great option as well. If you have cans available, also mousetraps, airhorns and I was even considering party poppers as well. Thinking a few metal tent stakes on a tension line would also work.
I use coke cans glass bottles I put marbles and 2 bells inside them I tied them from tree to tree all say around my hidden site I also use holes I dig holes all way around randomly I dont use spike wood I put rat glue substances on gourd protected with plastic above entry hole so dust or dirt dont ruin it once the foot brakes the camo and plastic rap then the foot gets sticky as they walk they leave prints evidences where they went and how big they are
Same use here,works great
Liking the idea of using glue, never heard this one before, thanks!
@paul question about the glue wouldn't it dry also the cans and the bottles and the marbles how much of this stuff do you carry seems like a lot of weight .,noisy as hell when you walk This video is no show minimal gear big noise . Also cans and bottles reflect light so when you place traps keep in mind there purpose is to be hidden . For me the clapper has no body signature and neither dose the small noise maker. What was displayed in this video is on point with real world situation . Thank you
Right off the bat, rats live saw palmetto. There is a cluster that size will have noisy activity at some point that will throw you off for a good sleep.
Yes they do and they are bit noisy. Good call
Nice granpa hehe im so
Dizzy because of your cammera hehe
In SHTF, I'd be operating at night and laying low by day.
Same here
You can't choose exactly. Different things will happen and hunting at night is not such a good idea so goodluck finding food if ur only up at night
That's dumb, you gonna do everything without light? Otherwise you're advertising yourself. Sleep when there's the most chance of people approaching, when you're the most vulnerable of being found?
Gosh thank you so much
Glad you liked it!
great ideas for humans, large animals. Now do one for snakes, coons, skunks, and other small animals that will move thru your camp site. BTW punji sticks work trust me, 3 tours in Nam.
I'll take your word on that, I wouldn't prefer falling into a pit of sharpened sticks
I'd hear it walking before it got near the trap 😳
For the deadfall I was thinking some empty crinkly water bottles would make tons of noise, even if they got wet o.o
Hey that's a great idea!
@@TheSurvivalOutpost Thank you ^-^
Good stuff! Thanks!
If you're protected from behind, building your shelter against a hill or rock face, how do you protect from above?
Don’t setup shelter near rotten or dead trees if possible.
Great advice, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video! This is late as I just saw it so you may not get this question, but what is the ideal height to set the alarms?
Thanks Scott...I set mine right around average knee height so small animals don't trip it but anything "tall" will def get caught
Thank you!!
I absolutely love this super informative and useful help. Blitz rocks!
Glad you liked it
12 gauge perimeter alarms which use blank 12 gauge shells are a great way to secure your camp. These alarms can be converted to use real shotshells by attaching a 3"-4" piece of steel or plastic pipe, however lethal boobytraps are highly illegal and just having a piece of pipe stored with an alarm is illegal - called constructive possession. Also, you might accidentally shoot yourself, your wife, a child, an innocent neighbor, or your dog. It isn't worth the risk of hard time or accidental injury/fatality unless the world has gone totally Mad Max. Prepping is about increasing your chances, not putting yourself at risk.

Good point and it’s for this reason I didn’t delve into those topics. Lots of options available if there’s no rule of law

Nice one blitz..
Thanks Mith, just out here living the dream ya know :)
Great vid,,,An Idea for you. Folding Knives for EDC .In an Urban area. I like my Leatherman Skeletool. What say you????
I don't have experience with the Skeletool, however I have the Leatherman MHT and absolutely love it. If we're talking strickly folding blades, I have an Ontario RAT-1 that has served me well for nearly 10 years.
Zipp ties for the clapper would be perfect
Yes some big ties would have been excellent...
What kind of gloves do you use in video? What's the brand?
Don't forget a bell classic but it works
cheap and simple
Put bear bells on the clapper, that would make a racket...
Great idea!
Blitz You Mentioned About A Dog ,Have Considered Getting A Dog Yourself?? And Are Going To Get More Abandoned Bug Out Location?
Great question, I have a Golden Retriever right now, great doggo, but very much a home doggie. In the near future I would like to get another German Shepherd. Regarding a survival retreat, its in the works.
Can this be jammed by other device ?
Maybe alittle late to put in my 2 cents. (3 year old upload.) But have you tried using some thick rubber bands/tubing with the clap trap? Could cause the 2 pieces of wood to come together with more force if tied near the open end of the trap. Need to try this for myself now.
Excellent Idea 💡 I’ll try that out
Wow
y
all you have to do is run trip line full circle around perimeter very easy
Sure...I could run fishing line around the entire camp, but that would be pointless for at least 50% of the perim since it is enclosed by saw palmettos which serve as a natural barrier.
Before I turned on my phone, I was thinking I wanted to watch a video on tripwires for my edc kit. Guess what the first video in my home page was? So damn weird.
Spooky
Same thing has happened to me. Might it not be a far stretch that the higher ups have mastered " thought police".technology? I suggest we do experiments by ONLY thinking of something and see if they pop up?
Google works that way. Be careful what you say within earshot of your phone. LOL
Use EZ Braid.
Would u know a way to be alerted in your home by motion in your back yard?
I need the alert loud enough to wake me up and I can’t have false alarms
Any advice would be much appreciated
Motion activated camera can send a text to your phone. Renovo is a good option to check out
Shotgun primers and dummy Grenades ....step one survival did a video on it I use it saved my life 2 years ago
Tyler Linkes how so
E-Alarm was the name of that noisy little alarm ???
yes I believe so...just be sure to change the batteries
The electric alarm and other similar store bought types are cheap enough that it's worth haveing several on hand..if resorting to primitive alarms I would prefer the split stick clapper and the deadfall would come in as a last resort with nothing else availiable, regardless of methods used, I prefer to set up an outside perimeter as you say and another closer in also...anyway good video man, first time I've seen that clapper stick alarm, thanks for the content.
Thanks glad you liked it, hopefully it sparked some ideas for perim security
is it water proof?
didn't test that
Finally some decent music at least
That’s good
Somebody didn't watch Jurassic Park you never set up camp on a game Trail!
lol
@@TheSurvivalOutpost no but seriously here in Michigan you got to worry about that kind of stuff. A bear very well could end up in your camp otherwise!
I like your video it just that moving on the camera its annoying thank you for the info...
moving on the camera?
great video!
Thanks
Seriously, who trap tents in Florida? The bugs are wicked.
Depends on the area. I setup in an open area close by the water. Gets lots of ventilation so that helps. But yeah gotta have bug spray always
Crush and scrub pine needles on you for bug deterrent, and not always but typically after 11ish till about 4am they don't bother you as much. There are many other natural bug deterrents out there also, just research them.
@@victorhausauer3018
I'll check that out.
Jj I'm a fifth generation Floridian and have been camping all of my life in Florida & yes misquito and sand gnats in the summer only are fierce.we are somewhat use to them and crop some beauty berry and wax myrtle leaves if you want and put in a little water,be sure to crush and rub the leaves(makes great natural bug repellant )which contains natural deet, just rub on skin.happy camping and stay safe.
I think I've been watching to much of The Walking Dead...
why not just use rape alarms, scare the crap out of large animals like bears wolves wild cats and moose!
Yup that's what you saw in use with the fishing line. works like a charm.
No hand grenades!?
all outta stock
@@TheSurvivalOutpost shame
rat traps
I thought i was going to learn something, not just watch you talk and walk around.
Watch the video.
