(Cheap security )- Keep 4'x8' sheets of 1/2" plywood stockpiled at your house to cover each window. When you need to install it, do it behind your closed curtains or blinds. That way from the outside it doesn't look like your hiding food or water, etc. You can use deck screws with washers to attach the plywood to the studs that run vertically on each side of your window. Being in construction I can tell you 1/2" plywood is brutal trying to demo because it's pliable and soaks up shock easily making it a real pain to get through. The good thing about this method is you will know when to defend with deadly force if needed as soon as that window outside the plywood breaks. At that point there's no guessing "you're in trouble". Save at least one door that you can exit quickly if need be.
Thank you 🙏 so very, very, much awesome advice never thought 💭 of that but will do. Stay safe and GOD bless you and your family. Your such a very wise man. 👍❤️keep those videos coming because I stay tune in on your videos 👍
As a construction worker ( carpenter/ aluminium joiner/ glazier! You took the words out of my mouth! Also on a front entry door fit a plywood sheet on the inside. Cut timber wedges to slam in around the perimeter! Drill clearance holes for screwing the front of door off! Punji traps( 3 inch nails sticking out of 10 mm timber.
Plywood Is A Good And Inexpensive Option! But, For Excellent Ya Could Go With Clear Poly Based Sheets Of Lexan For Rifle Level Bullet Proofing Security That The Big Banks Use Provided Ya Go Thick Enough! I Like To Black Out The Lexan At Windows For Stealth When SHTF! Know One Will Know The Power And The Lights Will Be On In The Inside Of My Home! Lexan Is Great For Vehicles In A Pinch Too! 😎
Years ago, I had a severe trespassing problem. They cut paths through the blackberries and cut the barbed wire. So I started hanging road kill on t-bar posts at the areas of break in. Posted signs that reflected the meaning of the dead animals. Trespass stopped Once three guys in a boat came across the lake to my house on a moonless night, after midnight. Just before they exited the boat onto my land, I hit them with two, one million candle power lights, blinding them. I told them I know who they are, and where they lived and that I had them covered for a half mile across the lake. I told them that the sheriff's department was notified and would meet them at the county boat dock. I never saw them again. The solution, in my opinion, is to create a hard to kill target who's not afraid to dispatch them. Instill fear in your opponents.
We had a small Jack Russell terrier, and when he was about a year old, he was sitting on the back of a loveseat we had positioned in front of a living room window. It was wintertime, January and a bitter cold night. We were up late watching a movie, it was around 1 am.... and the heat was running, and that window had louvered blinds on it, fully closed. Our JRT started growling in a low tone. Then he stood up and tried getting his nose behind the blinds. He then jumped down and went to the front door not far from the loveseat. And he was snorting as he sniffed at the bottom of the door. We both thought someone was outside prowling, and I peeked through the corner of the blinds, to see what was out there.... and I'll be darned, a big deer about 20 feet away from our house, was munching on a bare spot of lawn, where the snow was gone. We couldn't believe how that dog knew something was outside.
LOL... Our indoor/outdoor cat does that. She even growls at the mailman when he drives by 🐾😾. We need a sign that says "Forget the Dog! Our property is protected by Guard Cats 🦁"
Dogs are amazing creatures! And the WEF wants to do away with them too. 😡 I left a comment somewhere else about that, and someone responded that I and others like me might have to adapt because of all of the resources dogs use "for farming," and that they are "mutants" who spread disease and have damaging urine and feces. Un-flipping believable. Virtually any living thing can spread disease: bats, rodents, insects, And there are people who want us to EAT roaches and crickets. Dogs provide valuable services to humans in numerous capacities in addition to providing protection and companionship. #DogLover
@@charmc4152 think about another time in history where someone in power told people to kill their pet dogs (Hitler to the "Hitler Youth" program he created. To test their loyalty to him.... to make the youth robotic and cold hearted).
@@charmc4152 I just finished watching a video on the "Prophecy Watchers", titled "Rise of the Fourth Reich/Billy Crone". Eye-opening information, especially on how the leader of the W.E.F., Klaus Schwab, is patterning his "Global Reset" ("Build Back Better") after Hitler's 3rd Reich, but instead calling his plans for humanity "The 4th Industrial Revolution".
@@charmc4152 my little 3 legged dog was outside with my 77 y/o husband and a friend. He started barking, growling towards my hubs truck. That different bark! It was a 40 inch long rattle snake w/ 7 rattles! Had my hubs started to get in driver's side of his truck??!?!!
Boards with nails driven thru them can be used as a defense tool. Turn them sharp side up, bury them a few inches in the ground under windows. Cover lightly with leaves, old grass clippings, etc...( don't forget where they are placed for your own safety )
We live in a suburban neighborhood and what we did was get with our neighbors and between all us we have each other's property covered. Meaning what our security system doesn't see their's will and vice versa. Just some extra protection
Another consideration is to view these concepts from the standpoint of not having electricity or access to the Internet. For perimeter security, a simple alarm system using twine and sleighbells that you can get for decorative purposes at Christmas time and rigging a series of tripwires around the property to give an early perimeter alert. That way, you have time to react inside the house. You can make faraday cages with 10 gallon aluminum cans and aluminum tape around the lip of the cans to make sure that the seal is tight for the lid and then store batteries, flashlights, long range walkie-talkies, ham and other radio equipment, and other electronics that you may need after the grid goes down. Make sure to test every piece of equipment thoroughly before you have the grid down situation because once it happens, you’re not going to Walmart and getting parts or more equipment. You are going to be using what you have. Think in terms of going back to the Stone Age where nothing electric works and you have to grind your wheat for baking bread with a manual grinder, having ways to heat without electricity, being able to cook without gas or electricity (propane will work for as long as you have access to a supply, but after that, you will want to know how to build a rocket stove. You will also want to know how to filter water when all of the current products can’t be obtained. You might look at using terra-cotta pots as water filtration devices. There are lots of videos on the Internet about that right now and it’s a good idea to get trained on all of those things before you lose access to the information. Also finally you will want to get hardcopies of books for every kind of survival skill because once you can’t get to the Internet anymore, you will only have what you know already and what you have in the form of a book to look up. One of the most important survival skills is to build a community of skilled (and tested) people who have a very clear structure of roles, responsibilities, leadership, and to test it often. You’ll want at least a few people who have self defense, medical, food cultivation and preservation, etc. Also, consider installing EMPShield devices - www.EMPShield.com Most importantly: GET GOD. Get back to what made this country great, adherence to Christian morality and the template for right living that we were given by Jesus Christ. Raise your children in the admonition of the Lord. Go to church every Sunday and build your Christian community with your neighbors. Reach out to your local neighbors and build those relationships because you will need each other. Finally, there is no time to waste. If you have eyes and ears and a brain, you know that the insanity of this world is sourced in a great and growing evil. You must fight this and you must encourage everyone you know to do the same because this is a battle of a spiritual nature and if you study Holy Scripture, you know that the Kingdom is coming and that the Lord is drawing near. He is giving all of us a chance to repent and turn ourselves toward His Will for us. Get right with God and with each other!
I used to place the battery operated baby monitors from when my girls were infants, in a planter on both the front and back porch in case they decided to sneak out of the house in the wee hours. ( might alert you to the whisperings and noise of a potential intruder as well) Single moms will do interesting things to protect their little ones 🌷
Great video. Everyone's scenario is different and we might all defend a little different. That be said, we will protect our loved ones at all cost. It's more obvious than ever that chances are you won't be rescued by someone else. So we prepare for any and all situations. Bless ya'll.
Another very good door upgrade is a deadbolt. Put, one foot below your doorknob. The area where most doors fail first. And if you're really concerned, a second dead bolt one foot above your doorknob.
The deadbolt is only as strong as the door frame, most are wood, Not much strength there. Put a piece of flat metal on the inside to help reinforce that area
On another channel I said stock up on food and be able to protect your self and your family that we are in for a bumpy ride I got a comment that I am hoarder lol my family is safe is there's?
Yeah, they live hand-to-mouth because they've had it too good for too long. Some of us are old enough to remember the future. I've had to eat expired C-rations due to lack of other preps. Not doing that again. 😂
My Daughter. She is one of those that have been brainwashed in college. She shops every other day so she "doesn't waste anything". I am irresponsible because I prepare and have alot of extra food. She said i am taking food from other people by buying so much. That's how they think. We are irresponsible.
@@dessebasey2750 they think they're thinking out of the box and as u said brainwashed. 1 experience of discomfort and she'll realize there's supplies that a human needs to survive, let alone satiate boredom or discomfort. These kids believe everything is optional, endlessly supplied, caters to desires, what's a necessity when u have what u want? Thats their mindset. Thats why we put a bit aside for them, as we're irritated by their blind perspective. We wait dor them to wake up. Sometimes they do. Hopefully urs will too. As a side note, let ur daughter know not to seek shelter in a car to stay warm. The tailpipe can become snow covered and the carbon monoxide will build up in the car. Take care 💚
I have been periodically performing a search, for the topic of , prevention of home invasions. I have observed that very few of the sites have been updated, as though no new ideas have been conceived in the ten years since the posts were made. In our world of ever increasing crimes, I would have thought an abundance of new ideas would have sprung up, to assist new victims. Not so, apparently. Instead I see a search result with more and more half hearted efforts to keep homeowners safe. It is as though we are being encouraged to think we should give up, again and again, and hand over what is left of our very average belongings to burglars.
The roof is the easier way to get into a house, believe me. It’s just plywood, felt and shingles and voila you’re inside. I’ve done roofs and work in houses. The best roofs are the metal ones.
Well yes, but... 99.9% of thieves or whatever are going to concentrate on the ground level access points, doors, windows etc. Deter them there and they'll move on to a easier target. I'm securing my house, and I've thought about how easy this would be if you could get access, but the amount of burglars coming in through roofs is extremely slim.
You’re absolutely correct. Dialing 911 may take a couple minutes to and hour or more til someone comes. I’m retired law enforcement. I’m not even going to call 911 until the bodies are lined up for the morgue. I have so many signs saying you’re trespassing and the last sign says you’re now a target. I’m not messing around with anyone coming back onto my property.
We plan on bugging in. Son in a wheelchair and medical fragile is the main reason. Hopefully we can stay put and don't have to run. Working on extra security for the windows now
Good information as always. I have 9 dogs. They are a great security system. No one comes into our home without them going off and alarming us. And if we aren't home, it will make them think twice about entering and getting attacked once they hear them all sounding off. I'd think twice if I went to some ones house with the intention of robbing if I heard multiple dogs sounding off. Even if I had a gun/knife.
I have 16 ft.tall wood fences surrounding my property, and a metal electronic 10 ft. Gate. Anyone that wants to come in, will either have to have a tall extended ladder, and ready to jump down. Only way in would be through the back where the bulls are, hopefully they try that way. 🤣😂🤣
Overdogging is a mental illness (dog hoarding). I'd hate to have to pay their food bill. Do they all sleep in your bed? Dogs in the house is unclean. They trash the place, & bring in fleas & ticks.
@@kellywarciski580 Dogs are great to have, but you need to think about if people are armed, if they pull their guns on your dogs, your dogs don't have a chance. I pray that never happens, but it could. God bless 🙏
@@miguelfilo962 my dogs do not do all that, my dogs are cleaner then a lot of people, we are not all scared of sharing our space with our furry kids🥰😍🥰
To all those out there who may at some time find themselves in a very desperate situation, please before risking your life or taking someone elses, just ask. Many people I know will be more than willing to help anyone in need if they can. We are all in this together.
Another great topic security. We have battery operated security systems with cameras all around our property. We also have plenty of toys for protection. I have got telephone poles at the front part of my property that me and my neighbor can use the block vehicles. Also we have rolls and rolls did I say rolls of barbed wire that can be put up at an instant to secure the grounds all the way around the home.it's all about safety eyes on things and knowing how to control your circumstances. Super good topic sir
My father and uncles were drafted. My grandfather fought in WWII. I had family that lived through the depression. My children are in a sense of entitlement. Covid has been a challenge. I would rather have it. I hated standing in long lines six feet apart to be allowed one item. 😢. I have no desire to go out on civil unrest and fight for overpriced food with diseases etc.
Plant Sentry plants. They grow fast an also they grow babies all around them selves. You can very carefully remove them an plant them anywhere you need them. They are very sharp an will cut you very badly if you’re not very careful. You also are not going to get through them. I have them an theirs no way anyone’s going to get in my windows unless they have on some sort of armor. They also grow very tall an round. Love them. I don’t want to hurt anyone, but I’m 70 an live alone. Praying they will protect me.
When you set up your external camera system, make sure that you have coverage both from your house facing outward and from the outer perimeter looking in (depending on the size of your property). Inward facing cameras can cover bad guys approaching your home but using trees/vehicles etc for cover. This is an often overlooked item. Exterior cameras in general are often overlooked. For example, banks have cameras INSIDE. Yet bank robbers have to APPROACH and EGRESS the building in order to rob it. Exterior cameras are worth their weight in gold!
Blackberries. Not the thornless variety. You ever try to crawl through a blackberry bramble?? A simple chain link fence or even simpler 2”x4” welded wired fence ( common at farm stores ) with blackberries planted along it and it quickly becomes impenetrable. Plus, you get lovely, delicious berries for jams, syrups etc!
About the security system signage and stickers: It might be effective in some instances, but in a "without rule of law" situation, those attacking your home probably don't care a whole lot. However, years ago I read an article from an interview with a professional thief about things that made a house a more attractive target, and he said that putting the signage outside, clued him in on what system he was up against so he could more effectively bypass and do it more quickly. Now, as I said, I read the article some years ago, so newer technology may make things a little more challenging, but it's something to consider. Having a couple of medium to large size dogs may be a better deterrent, but with armed intruders, your dogs could still be sacrificed.
The only thing I strongly disagree with here is... Train with your equipment! Don't leave your body armor in the closet. Put it on and walk around and get used to it. You will rapidly learn why light armor is more expensive. If SHTF, you will need to be able to wear your armor for long periods of time. A crisis is the wrong time to find out that something isn't durable, doesn't work, or rubs you the wrong way in the wrong places. Everything else is good advice. Everyone's situation is different, give it some thought. Think about it from the other side.. look around and ask yourself, if I wanted to get in here and get something, what would deter me?
We're talking home defense though. I can sit on my sofa wearing body armor watching Netflix all week long no problem. Sure, the motion from eating the occasional snack might result in chaffing but probably not my biggest concern. For body armor use outside home defense, of course you want to train with it.
Your hinge pins are on the outside of the door. No matter how it's welded or screwed all someone has to do is use a hammer and screwdriver to tap the pins out and they are through your security door. If you put that system on the inside of the door rather than the outside it would work much better as the intruder wouldn't have access to the pins.
The doors also are bolted with the cross bar in the frame of the door. Even if they could get the pin out, the doors are still going to have to ripped piece by piece from the steal cross beam is going in both pieces of steal so that’s actually what holds the wood snug.. the hinge is to open and not have to take off but ultimately the strength is in the inside with the steal cross beam going in each holder on door and then a slip spot cut out of each side to go into the wall steal.
in the 80's i installed a security system in a home. The corners weren't corners on the exterior the diagonal windows were inset and the brick had a 6" gap on the corners. Inside were regular windows basically every corner was as shooting port.
I had to pause your video to point out that my life was probably saved during Hurricane Andrew on August 24, 1992, with a suggestion in your video that we had to inact. Hurricane Andrew blew in our front double doors. My family and friends were able to screw and nail the double door entrance doors to our house closed during the process of nailing a door closed. I was blown into the roof of our house and sustained a traumatic blow to my head. I was unconscious for an eternity my family and friends told me, but we were able to secure the doors because we had nails and screws and hammers inside our home at the time. Your advice is 1000%, correct, you need to able to secure doors without locks in an emergency, I'm writing this because we did this and survived!
I've said this before - I love that you present things in a reasonable and well thought out way, instead of the alarmist panic that many people use. I think some are eagerly waiting for the chance to implement their precautions, but you are showing how to keep your home secure in a day to day or emergency situation and I appreciate it. Only one things occurred to me that you didn't mention and that is to have some of your cameras hidden. A nice, obvious camera is a great deterrent but just yesterday I watched a video in which a person spray painted two cameras, but missed the third. Having some obscured from casual view and at different heights is never a bad idea. Thank you, as always, for the great content!
I think if it gets bad it’s gonna take a group to survive I’ve seen in Prepper channels where people say I’m not gonna trust anybody but a man his wife and two kids can’t hold off a hoard of people trying to get what you have. I have family members and people who will fight to the death for the group you have to sleep at some point and having eyes on so to speak at all times is crucial but that’s just my opinion.
True, read One Second After by William R. Forstchen. That was one of the first things I took away from the book. The other was the supplies/meds and order people die in.
Well, having many untrustworthy neighbors, I understand their sentiment. You can WANT to trust some person all day, but if they aren't trustworthy, what then?
Y.o.u.T.u.b.e.will probably censor this. It is coming. All the mentally ill have been let loose on the world. Prepare as best you can. If you have a man tell him it is time to be a man. If not find a man that can help protect you. I have seen this coming since Bush 1 and then the Clintons. Everything changed radically. I was fooled by Bush 2. He was a snake. The O was worse. The trump card was played and then they stole it. Now they are implenting their agenda. It is up to the U.S.A. Patriot to stop them. No one else can. JMO!
I pray too, but remember American isn't listed in the Bible in the end times. Why? We're being overtaken be illegals coming across the border. Our government seems to be out to destroy America. We're living in dangerous times. Even European countries are facing some of the same things we are. So no help from them.
Thanks to Democrats our country is filled with terrorists from across the globe. A grid down is definitely coming. They are already hitting the grid hundreds of times through cyber, cars, and drones. There are reports you can read on what has already happened. They have also hit water twice now. Both attacks were reported by the water company.
very good tips, I would also look at psychological preps, how about smoke grenades for use in the home, if intruders cant see they cant fight effectively and have no way of knowing whats waiting for them such as the traps the viet cong used- big sharp sticks pointing towards door, attacker runs in and impaled, even better put poo on it so it poisons them too, have speakers which put out barking dog sounds or sirens or even gun fire, have your spot lights with red dot lasers in them, the attacker dont know what there attached too, could be fake or could be a weapon, imagine a single attacker suddenly having 6 red dots pointed at them in the dark/smoke, would probably make them reconsider their actions.
There are some tall rose varieties that have thick canes and large thorns. And these are great for planting in front of windows. Some varieties of roses have huge thorns, and the branches/canes are loaded with them.
I have been putting iron pipes cut to fit window or door with an electrical strap bracket or heavy duty bent nail formed to u hanger. It is not impenetrable but would slow progress to smashing frame through to entry. Been doing this for years especially for basement.
My security system is in place with 6 dogs & a few extra surprises that we have in place for any & all who enter. With the way we have our place set up, they may enter but I PROMISE they won't be leaving ALIVE or found. We have a propane cooker A grill & other means of cooking & taking baths we use to live off grid. How our place is set up we can't put any fencing that's why we have the 6 dogs for our alarm system. We also live in 2 different dwellings on 1 property & only 1 way into our area & 1 way out so we're good.
Security System / Fences + trigger floodlights. Having big dogs as a deterrent that patrol the property. Firearms obviously. But the most underrated thing is having a close-relationship with able neighbours, a neighbourhood watch if you will. You can even share a comms channel between them for emergencies (not just defence related but flood / outages).
If you have a fuel tank outside and convenient for the gas company to fill, it’s also accessible to thieves. I spent and hour and a half wrapping chain around it with two locks to keep anyone from draining it through the filter system. I’ve got over $1600 worth of fuel in mine. On the top is a lock, but it’s worthless. I’m putting a motion detection light above it. My bedroom is next to it and I’ll see the light and hear any noise coming from anyone bumping the metal tank. Fuel in kerosene is costing families $800 a month here in Northern California.
My 1st thought was wow you spend a lot of time on defense then I chuckled thinking of anyone trying to come in..you your wife oldest son n even the lil ones will be fighting because of how you prep n teach . this is good info for a lot of people!!
Used to have couple shepherds, one was part wolf, in heaven now. We're old so can only handle small ones now. We have a parson russell terrier. He Flys through the air like super dog showing his teeth to attack people & is very over protective, scares rotties ha ha. I have to put him in basement or yard when company comes. Was one of my son's dogs, they work so never been socialized.
Love the cat wandering into shot on number 5 😊 We have had most of these in place And are about to plant thorny bushes around our vegetable patch which is seperate to the house to discourage people trying to look and see what is there
Cats will be food in SHTF. Protect them! Although they can supply food. An outside stray I take care of brings me an occasional rabbit, a wood rat or two, and big WEF approved grasshoppers. Hunger makes the best sauce? Or a killer instinct makes the most dead prey….
Planting thorny bushes around valuable plantings is a great idea. We have wild blackberries that I will probably start around my garden area. It's a chore to keep them contained though! Do the "secret garden of survival" thing and interplant fruit and nut trees and shrubs with smaller annuals and herbs in a natural-looking arrangement rather than in neat tidy rows. Once things grow in it will look like a field of overgrown weeds and such, keeping hungry people from spotting your food from hundreds of yards away.
Very good points. I like the openness of your property. I wish I could do that but here in Washington I can only clear so much. Thank you for all the hard work you do for us all.
ADT, Northstar and Nordstrom (I had Northstar, family has others) no longer notify police, they now send a text for glass breaks and other access to your home. I can't hear a text when I'm on tractor for instance. Do not sign a contract w a security company, DIY is just as effective w cameras like Blink!
Make sure you can switch lights off when you need to, sometimes it's better not to draw attention with showing all the lights when all the other people are in the dark, having large flood lights and power systems will mark you as a prepper and paint a bigger target onto you if people are looking for food and supplies.
Dark homes at night are more likely to get broken into. Once we put in lightning and flood lights, we don't have thugs checking our cars in our driveway anymore. My door handle on my car is a security feature. If pulled when door is lock won't go back in. Unless I unlock car and push it back in place. In the morning I would see my car door handle pulled out weekly. It stopped, when we put in flood lights.
Exactly. Solar Security Lights that don't require Electricity are a great option for Outside your house. But lights in the Window suggests that you have power, and therefore probably have food. If every House is Dark, you need to cover the windows before turning on any lights. The man also mentioned a Battery Bank, which is HUGE in a Grid Down Situation. Generators make a lot of noise, and require constant refueling. A battery bank or power station and an Inverter provides nice quiet power. Sometimes it's better to blend in, so nobody knows what you have. 😊
Reinforcements are just to buy you time. Doors and windows become fatal funnels for the intruder if he has to spend time there and make noise getting through. The outer doors that open out are great for that. Most doors can be knocked inward off their hinges easily.
I think hiding your preps within your home and getting outta the way should also be planned.. at the end of the day if they can't get in there isn't much stopping them from not letting you out.. or burning you out.
If we open the door because someone starts or is trying to start a fire.. whoever is outside better be ready to meet Jesus. Just saying. Ain't no body coming on our property to harm us without a fight. ~ misty
Good info. I didn’t hear you use the word, “deterrent”. If SHTF happens, (my opinion) desperate hungry people will go after easier targets. The fact that you have lighting, barriers, cameras and more would deter anyone from attacking your property.
One rarely discussed weak point on most suburban homes is the Garage Door. Those builder grade garage doors are anything but secure from a forced entry ...
@B roll down security shutter, for starters. Cancel your vacation on that one. I've heard of people putting sidewalk anchors into the floor so they can bolt the door closed if needed.
All these camera systems, and alarm systems are great. What happens if the grid goes down? Even if you have backup power, you won't have internet, which most, if not all systems rely on. Aluminum cans, snap triggers with centerfire primers also work, no matter what. Just saying...
They all have batteries on them, deer cameras and Low tech will last longer but we have s major grid down situation, you are relying on reinforcement of doors and abs windows and lots of projectiles
I myself like motion censored shotgun shell rig that you have a switch where you can turn them on or off sends a charge to the primer which sets the shotgun shell off
My thoughts are to put chain link fence across your garage door and siding door when it hits the fan won't stop them but u will know something is going on and sand bags for bullet protection
This is a great topic and useful information. I really like your exterior security door installation. Definitely a deterrent for easy entry. The stainless security screens for the windows are a great idea. If you are targeted by a group of armed individuals, nothing will stop them from entering, but you have made your home less desirable with your layered defense strategies. Good job 👏 and thanks for sharing 👍
Great video; thank you! Very valuable tips. I want to mention the importance of having a solid alliance with your neighbors. Establishing even a "community watch" neighborhood will be great security for everyone.
I've thought about a home security system but with the technology companies today and the type of government we have I don't trust that they wouldn't abuse the power and be able to see inside and outside my house whenever they should choose to.
You have a good set up , because of the size of your property I would add driveway sensors to all the blind spots around the propety that will alert you get the type with different tones so you can determine which location went off as a extra layer
Also a big note on doors is have them outward opening with hidden hinges and replace the tiny screws with 3 inch screws, if you look up videos on it it’s way harder to kick in assuming it doesn’t have a window you can reach the door knob with. It’s also very hard to notice the change
All great information again brother. I have implemented some of this and looking at more. Our zone 1 has a German shepherd, a Kangal shepherd and a American bulldog in it for first alert and security. Keep up the good work and God bless you all
You saw my post on Facebook talking about natural plants as barriers. 👍. I posted it up a year or two ago. I mentioned mixing bamboo with thorny plants. The bamboo can be dense and allow other thorny climbing plants to grow up it and through it. Roses, brambles, blackberries etc. Plus, poison ivy. You can also have holly bushes / trees and hawthorn bushes / trees etc. Done right, it will also bring in wildlife and insects that are beneficial.
Great Ideas, thanks for the video! An odd Idea for you about stock piled supplies. If your home is penetrated, maybe have "low hanging fruit" that appears to be your most valuable goods, while have a(or several) more well hidden stockpile of your actual valuable goods. Like a pad-locked pantry as an obvious horde, and then having like a hidden cellar pantry with your valuable food stuffs/supplies. A buried food cash on your property that can be retrieved in relative stealth. Or Cash hidden in your walls that you can literally bust out in emergencies.
We dont have windows on the north n south side of our home. Only front n back. The north side has garage and south side has bathroom w one small window high up. Shutters that close n look good may cost more but that way you can look at something nice if nothing happens but if it does happen you can shut n lock shutters.
We have a small dog and am looking for a cattle/chicken friendly bigger dog. we also have attack cats. No joke, our cats not only are alert to people coming to the door, but one actually hisses and lies in wait.
Thank you for the valuable advice. I suppose there could be different kinds of marauders/invaders. In my country, attackers often want people to be at home, so that they can threaten them (sometimes even torture them) and get guns and valuables as quickly as possible without having to search for them. Prayer can also make a big difference of course. I've heard of people being protected supernaturally. I've read (three times -- twice in newspaper reports) about people who were able to ward off attackers by shouting "In the Name of Jesus go away", but I haven't been in such a situation myself, yet. I've only been in a situation where it worked against evil spirits. (Of course one has to be in right standing with God to have the authority to use the Name of Jesus in that way [issuing a command]). But my suspicion is that it might be effective if a person is being urged on by evil spirits to have evil intentions and do evil things. When the demons are rebuked in the Name of Jesus, they might flee, and the person under their influence might feel an urge to flee as well. But I have my doubts about whether using the Name of Jesus against a law enforcer (someone just following orders and doing their job) would necessarily have the same effect.
I thought I might add more on this topic. In my country there is a high level or crime, including farm attacks. What the attackers do is to scope out the farmhouse first, watching it for some time (days or weeks) before they attack. What they often do is to wait for the residents to leave, and then ambush them when they return. But as I've said, they sometimes attack while people are at home. One farmer told of attackers trying their best to lure him out of the house one night, by making trouble with the animals. He stayed put inside. He was alone, and all he had to drink was the water in the kettle. The criminals finally gave up and left. This isn't always the case. Sometimes attackers force their way into the house, even if they have to enter through the roof. One elderly lady bought a television three times in short succession after being robbed repeatedly. With the last incident she realized that the robbers had come for her, not just for her possessions, and fled from a side door, running out into the dark towards her neighbors. My thought about this was that perhaps at this point she should stop buying televisions (a popular attraction for robbers). A sad thing is that sometimes people are attacked by employees or by people they had taken under their wing. In one instance, a domestic worker had been with the family for a number of years and all seemed well, but a new boyfriend had a bad influence on the woman. It ended with a violent robbery. Finally, I hope you don't mind if I send you something I wrote for someone else, about the power of the Name of Jesus, which can be of value to Bible-believing Christians when they are in right standing with God. An easy way to be right standing with God is to pray the Lord's Prayer (that Jesus gave us to pray) from the heart (trusting in God with child-like humility and dependence). Three times I read about people being saved by the power of the Name of Jesus. Twice in newspaper reports, a number of years apart. It was a provincial newspaper with a large circulation. The first time, there was a small article at the bottom of the front page. It reported on an attack that took place a long distance away from the head office of the newspaper, in the south of the country. A woman was walking in a park when two youths rushed at her and started stabbing at her with screwdrivers. She raised her hands to fend them off, and they stabbed her in the hands. She then cried out, "In the Name of Jesus don't hurt me!" They turned away from her and started stabbing each other. Then they stopped and ran away. Although the woman had been injured, she found this experience tremendously positive, and afterwards said that people should not be afraid to trust God to help them. The second newspaper report was on page 4 if I remember correctly. In another part of the country (this time in the north, also a long distance away), a university student and his girlfriend were sitting in a public park, working on a study assignment. Suddenly four men wielding knives approached them and attacked them. They tried to defend themselves -- the female student threw her cellphone at one of the attackers, while her friend tried to fend off the others with his notebook. He realized that it wouldn't be enough, and shouted, "In the Name of Jesus Christ, go away from here!" The attackers immediately turned and fled. The student said afterwards that there had been a church group nearby, but that they had done nothing to help them. The third report of someone being saved in this way was in a book on farm attacks. The author explained the modus operandi of farm attackers, and mentioned amongst other things how they would sometimes leave some kind of object (often of a certain color to give a coded message) near the gate or fence of a farm that attackers intended to target. Farmers had to be on the lookout for such things and for anything unusual. In the last or penultimate chapter of the book, he said that after covering all that he did, he had something more to say which might make a difference, to people willing to consider such advice. He told of various individuals who had found themselves trapped by attackers and had to think quickly. One of the incidents he described was of a woman who had just returned home from a shopping trip. She parked her car in the driveway of her yard, and got out of her car. As she stood there with her shopping bags, a group of men ran towards her from the backyard. She cried out, "In the Name of Jesus, leave me alone!" (or something similar-sounding). They changed direction, curving away from her, and kept running, right out the gate. She never saw them again. As I've mentioned, I have personal experience in this regard but would prefer not to provide all the details. Suffice to say that I was finally able to put more distance between myself and someone who was involved in the occult (who I forgive and regard with compassion and respect), by saying, "In the Name of Jesus I bind you; in the Name of Jesus I forbid you from watching me any further and exercising influence over my life; in the Name of Jesus, go away!" It was effective. The person (astral projecting with the help of an evil spirit) couldn't continue watching me that way. I read somewhere of someone in Tibet having had a visionary dream in which Jesus appeared to him and advised him as to how one should deal with evil spirits. Amongst other things (according to what I read -- can't remember whether it was in a book) this person reported that Jesus had told him that when you say with authority, "In the Name of Jesus", demons (evil spirits) freeze. I don't know whether that is true, but if it is, it would mean that you don't have to be in a nervous hurry when (while in right standing with God), you rebuke an evil spirit (or a person being urged to do something evil -- e.g. harm you -- by evil spirits -- a person who has decided to give in to that urging). You can be calm about it. When you issue the command, say it like you mean it, in a succinct, straightforward way. Not in a ritualistic way, as though it's mere words, but from the heart. Almost like you would tell a dog that follows you, to "Go home!". You can even say it softly if you want -- demons have sharp ears. I suspect that what might be happening in the case of someone who attacks you in person -- within hearing distance -- is that evil spirits are very afraid of Jesus and His authority (they tremble in fear), and that when a Christian believer rebukes evil spirits, the fear that they feel can also be felt by the human being they are influencing. Whatever the explanation might be, the important thing to me is that thanks to the power and grace of God, it made a difference. I have a defense. To God be all the thanks and glory!
I'll give you gold here. Clear everything away from your house that someone(s) "assaulting" your house (after SHTF) could use for cover or concealment. Now give them places to duck behind. In other words, the only items of cover that they can run to are things that you provided for them. This is a really good version of funneling your enemy into "kill zones". Once you have thought that out, concider the following... You can construct these objects of "cover" to LOOK very substantial, as in they look "bullet proof". You could build build a short (6 or 8 ft. long?) low (3 ft. high?) wall that looks like concrete (solid looking). Frame it up, skin it with thin plywood, and then stucco it. Paint it concrete gray. Now if you were an "enemy combatant" and were running up on your house you would naturally run to the only "cover" available which would be that ""concrete" wall which high speed flying lead will pass right through. You could further put a divider of some sort that would funnel two people to either end (left and right) of the wall. Make sure you construct the wall to bunch the two individuals into an exact location so you know exactly where to direct fire to. Further, you could design various types of comand detonated party favors behind these walls. Think gelled fuel fun. Hell, you could easily buy two bear traps and place them at each end of the wall. Could you imagine them dropping a knee into a bear trap. They will NOT get that knee out. There are hundreds if variations on this concept. You could install cameras behind the wall so you could actually see them behind the wall. 100% of the idiots coming to raid your house most likely are not going to be thinking that you have pre planned funneling them into party zones. Do not do any of this unless we are living in an actual war zone without rule of law. I actually wrote this as a joke and as a thought exercise only. I never intended this for actual use on any level. Just sit and think about it. Just saying.
A great product to enhance your solar generator is a battery sump pump back up.. I have a solar generator and solar panels and I also have 2 sump pump back up battery. Plug the back up in and plug the sump pump into it. Will run my pump for 24 hours. The plus is I paid 150$. Not a long term thing but great for when the power first goes out and if you are running a generator you can charge these up like a solar generator for a fraction of the cost.
You can buy wireless sensors and you can put up at the front of the gate of your house and you can get a repeater where you can get signals from everywhere but they got to be you know repeaters to boost your signal I use them things on one of my jobs for years and they actually work good if you've got hey they got an internet system you can hook up on them now but I don't think they're not wireless is the way to go if someone hits the grid you would need wireless with a battery that you can charge outside

(Cheap security )- Keep 4'x8' sheets of 1/2" plywood stockpiled at your house to cover each window. When you need to install it, do it behind your closed curtains or blinds. That way from the outside it doesn't look like your hiding food or water, etc. You can use deck screws with washers to attach the plywood to the studs that run vertically on each side of your window. Being in construction I can tell you 1/2" plywood is brutal trying to demo because it's pliable and soaks up shock easily making it a real pain to get through. The good thing about this method is you will know when to defend with deadly force if needed as soon as that window outside the plywood breaks. At that point there's no guessing "you're in trouble". Save at least one door that you can exit quickly if need be.
Thank you 🙏 so very, very, much awesome advice never thought 💭 of that but will do. Stay safe and GOD bless you and your family. Your such a very wise man. 👍❤️keep those videos coming because I stay tune in on your videos 👍

Once three guys in a boat came across the lake to my house on a moonless night, after midnight. Just before they exited the boat onto my land, I hit them with two, one million candle power lights, blinding them. I told them I know who they are, and where they lived and that I had them covered for a half mile across the lake. I told them that the sheriff's department was notified and would meet them at the county boat dock. I never saw them again.
The solution, in my opinion, is to create a hard to kill target who's not afraid to dispatch them. Instill fear in your opponents.
Well said. Psychological warfare is the best strategy.
We had a small Jack Russell terrier, and when he was about a year old, he was sitting on the back of a loveseat we had positioned in front of a living room window. It was wintertime, January and a bitter cold night. We were up late watching a movie, it was around 1 am.... and the heat was running, and that window had louvered blinds on it, fully closed. Our JRT started growling in a low tone. Then he stood up and tried getting his nose behind the blinds. He then jumped down and went to the front door not far from the loveseat. And he was snorting as he sniffed at the bottom of the door. We both thought someone was outside prowling, and I peeked through the corner of the blinds, to see what was out there.... and I'll be darned, a big deer about 20 feet away from our house, was munching on a bare spot of lawn, where the snow was gone. We couldn't believe how that dog knew something was outside.
LOL...
Our indoor/outdoor cat does that. She even growls at the mailman when he drives by 🐾😾. We need a sign that says "Forget the Dog! Our property is protected by Guard Cats 🦁"
Dogs are amazing creatures! And the WEF wants to do away with them too. 😡 I left a comment somewhere else about that, and someone responded that I and others like me might have to adapt because of all of the resources dogs use "for farming," and that they are "mutants" who spread disease and have damaging urine and feces. Un-flipping believable. Virtually any living thing can spread disease: bats, rodents, insects, And there are people who want us to EAT roaches and crickets. Dogs provide valuable services to humans in numerous capacities in addition to providing protection and companionship. #DogLover
@@charmc4152 think about another time in history where someone in power told people to kill their pet dogs (Hitler to the "Hitler Youth" program he created. To test their loyalty to him.... to make the youth robotic and cold hearted).

We live in a suburban neighborhood and what we did was get with our neighbors and between all us we have each other's property covered. Meaning what our security system doesn't see their's will and vice versa. Just some extra protection
Another consideration is to view these concepts from the standpoint of not having electricity or access to the Internet. For perimeter security, a simple alarm system using twine and sleighbells that you can get for decorative purposes at Christmas time and rigging a series of tripwires around the property to give an early perimeter alert. That way, you have time to react inside the house. You can make faraday cages with 10 gallon aluminum cans and aluminum tape around the lip of the cans to make sure that the seal is tight for the lid and then store batteries, flashlights, long range walkie-talkies, ham and other radio equipment, and other electronics that you may need after the grid goes down.
Make sure to test every piece of equipment thoroughly before you have the grid down situation because once it happens, you’re not going to Walmart and getting parts or more equipment. You are going to be using what you have. Think in terms of going back to the Stone Age where nothing electric works and you have to grind your wheat for baking bread with a manual grinder, having ways to heat without electricity, being able to cook without gas or electricity (propane will work for as long as you have access to a supply, but after that, you will want to know how to build a rocket stove. You will also want to know how to filter water when all of the current products can’t be obtained. You might look at using terra-cotta pots as water filtration devices. There are lots of videos on the Internet about that right now and it’s a good idea to get trained on all of those things before you lose access to the information. Also finally you will want to get hardcopies of books for every kind of survival skill because once you can’t get to the Internet anymore, you will only have what you know already and what you have in the form of a book to look up.
One of the most important survival skills is to build a community of skilled (and tested) people who have a very clear structure of roles, responsibilities, leadership, and to test it often. You’ll want at least a few people who have self defense, medical, food cultivation and preservation, etc.
Also, consider installing EMPShield devices -

Most importantly: GET GOD.
Get back to what made this country great, adherence to Christian morality and the template for right living that we were given by Jesus Christ. Raise your children in the admonition of the Lord. Go to church every Sunday and build your Christian community with your neighbors. Reach out to your local neighbors and build those relationships because you will need each other.
Finally, there is no time to waste. If you have eyes and ears and a brain, you know that the insanity of this world is sourced in a great and growing evil. You must fight this and you must encourage everyone you know to do the same because this is a battle of a spiritual nature and if you study Holy Scripture, you know that the Kingdom is coming and that the Lord is drawing near. He is giving all of us a chance to repent and turn ourselves toward His Will for us. Get right with God and with each other!

Another very good door upgrade is a deadbolt. Put, one foot below your doorknob. The area where most doors fail first. And if you're really concerned, a second dead bolt one foot above your doorknob.
The deadbolt is only as strong as the door frame, most are wood, Not much strength there. Put a piece of flat metal on the inside to help reinforce that area

I have been periodically performing a search, for the topic of , prevention of home invasions. I have observed that very few of the sites have been updated, as though no new ideas have been conceived in the ten years since the posts were made.
In our world of ever increasing crimes, I would have thought an abundance of new ideas would have sprung up, to assist new victims. Not so, apparently.
Instead I see a search result with more and more half hearted efforts to keep homeowners safe. It is as though we are being encouraged to think we should give up, again and again, and hand over what is left of our very average belongings to burglars.
The roof is the easier way to get into a house, believe me. It’s just plywood, felt and shingles and voila you’re inside. I’ve done roofs and work in houses. The best roofs are the metal ones.
They will be live targets trying that with our house. Not a good idea with a 360 parameter defense including elevated position.
Well yes, but... 99.9% of thieves or whatever are going to concentrate on the ground level access points, doors, windows etc. Deter them there and they'll move on to a easier target. I'm securing my house, and I've thought about how easy this would be if you could get access, but the amount of burglars coming in through roofs is extremely slim.
Very sensible list. As you mentioned, nothing is impenetrable, but every second or minute gains you an advantage.
You’re absolutely correct. Dialing 911 may take a couple minutes to and hour or more til someone comes. I’m retired law enforcement.

Good information as always. I have 9 dogs. They are a great security system. No one comes into our home without them going off and alarming us. And if we aren't home, it will make them think twice about entering and getting attacked once they hear them all sounding off. I'd think twice if I went to some ones house with the intention of robbing if I heard multiple dogs sounding off. Even if I had a gun/knife.

When you set up your external camera system, make sure that you have coverage both from your house facing outward and from the outer perimeter looking in (depending on the size of your property). Inward facing cameras can cover bad guys approaching your home but using trees/vehicles etc for cover. This is an often overlooked item. Exterior cameras in general are often overlooked. For example, banks have cameras INSIDE. Yet bank robbers have to APPROACH and EGRESS the building in order to rob it. Exterior cameras are worth their weight in gold!
Blackberries. Not the thornless variety. You ever try to crawl through a blackberry bramble?? A simple chain link fence or even simpler 2”x4” welded wired fence ( common at farm stores ) with blackberries planted along it and it quickly becomes impenetrable. Plus, you get lovely, delicious berries for jams, syrups etc!
About the security system signage and stickers: It might be effective in some instances, but in a "without rule of law" situation, those attacking your home probably don't care a whole lot. However, years ago I read an article from an interview with a professional thief about things that made a house a more attractive target, and he said that putting the signage outside, clued him in on what system he was up against so he could more effectively bypass and do it more quickly. Now, as I said, I read the article some years ago, so newer technology may make things a little more challenging, but it's something to consider. Having a couple of medium to large size dogs may be a better deterrent, but with armed intruders, your dogs could still be sacrificed.
The only thing I strongly disagree with here is... Train with your equipment! Don't leave your body armor in the closet. Put it on and walk around and get used to it. You will rapidly learn why light armor is more expensive. If SHTF, you will need to be able to wear your armor for long periods of time. A crisis is the wrong time to find out that something isn't durable, doesn't work, or rubs you the wrong way in the wrong places. Everything else is good advice. Everyone's situation is different, give it some thought. Think about it from the other side.. look around and ask yourself, if I wanted to get in here and get something, what would deter me?
We're talking home defense though. I can sit on my sofa wearing body armor watching Netflix all week long no problem. Sure, the motion from eating the occasional snack might result in chaffing but probably not my biggest concern. For body armor use outside home defense, of course you want to train with it.

Your hinge pins are on the outside of the door. No matter how it's welded or screwed all someone has to do is use a hammer and screwdriver to tap the pins out and they are through your security door. If you put that system on the inside of the door rather than the outside it would work much better as the intruder wouldn't have access to the pins.
The doors also are bolted with the cross bar in the frame of the door. Even if they could get the pin out, the doors are still going to have to ripped piece by piece from the steal cross beam is going in both pieces of steal so that’s actually what holds the wood snug.. the hinge is to open and not have to take off but ultimately the strength is in the inside with the steal cross beam going in each holder on door and then a slip spot cut out of each side to go into the wall steal.
Exterior doors hinges are on the inside, in case their not you can drill and pin them

I think some are eagerly waiting for the chance to implement their precautions, but you are showing how to keep your home secure in a day to day or emergency situation and I appreciate it. Only one things occurred to me that you didn't mention and that is to have some of your cameras hidden. A nice, obvious camera is a great deterrent but just yesterday I watched a video in which a person spray painted two cameras, but missed the third. Having some obscured from casual view and at different heights is never a bad idea. Thank you, as always, for the great content!
Thanks!
Thanks very much great 👍 thinking 🤔 did not know that. Big HELP
God bless, you appear very prepared. You and your family can confident you've done all that could be expected of you.
I think if it gets bad it’s gonna take a group to survive I’ve seen in Prepper channels where people say I’m not gonna trust anybody but a man his wife and two kids can’t hold off a hoard of people trying to get what you have. I have family members and people who will fight to the death for the group you have to sleep at some point and having eyes on so to speak at all times is crucial but that’s just my opinion.
You need family and a tight community of people who are like minded for sure!
So true and two of my biggest concerns are fire and a lack of a group.
True, read One Second After by William R. Forstchen. That was one of the first things I took away from the book. The other was the supplies/meds and order people die in.
Well, having many untrustworthy neighbors, I understand their sentiment. You can WANT to trust some person all day, but if they aren't trustworthy, what then?

I pray with all my heart that we won't need to come to this extreme 💔 🙏 😔
Y.o.u.T.u.b.e.will probably censor this. It is coming. All the mentally ill have been let loose on the world. Prepare as best you can. If you have a man tell him it is time to be a man. If not find a man that can help protect you. I have seen this coming since Bush 1 and then the Clintons. Everything changed radically. I was fooled by Bush 2. He was a snake. The O was worse. The trump card was played and then they stole it. Now they are implenting their agenda. It is up to the U.S.A. Patriot to stop them. No one else can. JMO!
I pray too, but remember American isn't listed in the Bible in the end times. Why? We're being overtaken be illegals coming across the border. Our government seems to be out to destroy America. We're living in dangerous times. Even European countries are facing some of the same things we are. So no help from them.
Unfortunately, it's coming. Pray for strength
Read Luke 21:25 It's coming. 😮
Thanks to Democrats our country is filled with terrorists from across the globe. A grid down is definitely coming. They are already hitting the grid hundreds of times through cyber, cars, and drones. There are reports you can read on what has already happened. They have also hit water twice now. Both attacks were reported by the water company.
very good tips, I would also look at psychological preps, how about smoke grenades for use in the home, if intruders cant see they cant fight effectively and have no way of knowing whats waiting for them such as the traps the viet cong used- big sharp sticks pointing towards door, attacker runs in and impaled, even better put poo on it so it poisons them too, have speakers which put out barking dog sounds or sirens or even gun fire, have your spot lights with red dot lasers in them, the attacker dont know what there attached too, could be fake or could be a weapon, imagine a single attacker suddenly having 6 red dots pointed at them in the dark/smoke, would probably make them reconsider their actions.
On the reinforcement doors, with hinges on the outside, I could be in there in 30 seconds...remove the hinges. Get hinge pins!!
One weak spot you did not mention is garage doors. We have extra locks on ours as well as plan to put wood over them.
Yes!
There are some tall rose varieties that have thick canes and large thorns. And these are great for planting in front of windows. Some varieties of roses have huge thorns, and the branches/canes are loaded with them.
Pretty good video. You touched on the important things. Those steel mesh window covers are awesome.
And ya can never have too much ammo.
I have been putting iron pipes cut to fit window or door with an electrical strap bracket or heavy duty bent nail formed to u hanger. It is not impenetrable but would slow progress to smashing frame through to entry. Been doing this for years especially for basement.
Excellent advice!! Listen up folks! Thank you’
My security system is in place with 6 dogs & a few extra
surprises that we have in place for any & all who enter.
With the way we have our place set up, they may enter
but I PROMISE they won't be leaving ALIVE or found.
We have a propane cooker A grill & other means of
cooking & taking baths we use to live off grid.
How our place is set up we can't put any fencing
that's why we have the 6 dogs for our alarm system.
We also live in 2 different dwellings on 1 property
& only 1 way into our area & 1 way out so we're good.
Where we live in Pennsylvania 35 minutes from West Virginia
We call intruders “dog food” and welcome them
Especially if S.H.T.F.
Security System / Fences + trigger floodlights. Having big dogs as a deterrent that patrol the property. Firearms obviously. But the most underrated thing is having a close-relationship with able neighbours, a neighbourhood watch if you will. You can even share a comms channel between them for emergencies (not just defence related but flood / outages).
Block your intrance road or community roads with farm equipment in rifle range would be good
I really appreciate your time in giving us ideas on what we need to do. I’m going to have my handyman watch this video and help me with what he can.
I know that's right.
These are amazing help tips for security. 💜
I love the cap, all the effort you put in these videos, your caring n love for both your family and most ppl. THANK YOU!
If you have a fuel tank outside and convenient for the gas company to fill, it’s also accessible to thieves. I spent and hour and a half wrapping chain around it with two locks to keep anyone from draining it through the filter system. I’ve got over $1600 worth of fuel in mine. On the top is a lock, but it’s worthless. I’m putting a motion detection light above it. My bedroom is next to it and I’ll see the light and hear any noise coming from anyone bumping the metal tank. Fuel in kerosene is costing families $800 a month here in Northern California.
Yes keep it locked and also cut power to it .. we only cut ours on and hook it up when we’re out there. Hidden switch way away from it.
Excellent video! I have been knowledgeable about security for a long time, but this was very good and informative. Thanks, keep it up.
My 1st thought was wow you spend a lot of time on defense then I chuckled thinking of anyone trying to come in..you your wife oldest son n even the lil ones will be fighting because of how you prep n teach . this is good info for a lot of people!!
Yes!
Used to have couple shepherds, one was part wolf, in heaven now. We're old so can only handle small ones now. We have a parson russell terrier. He Flys through the air like super dog showing his teeth to attack people & is very over protective, scares rotties ha ha. I have to put him in basement or yard when company comes. Was one of my son's dogs, they work so never been socialized.
00:00 Good video. Well presented with out filler sales or sounding off the cuff. Thanks.
Never forget bells and whistles.
Love the cat wandering into shot on number 5 😊
We have had most of these in place And are about to plant thorny bushes around our vegetable patch which is seperate to the house to discourage people trying to look and see what is there
Cats will be food in SHTF. Protect them!
Although they can supply food.
An outside stray I take care of brings me an occasional rabbit, a wood rat or two, and big WEF approved grasshoppers.
Hunger makes the best sauce? Or a killer instinct makes the most dead prey….
Planting thorny bushes around valuable plantings is a great idea. We have wild blackberries that I will probably start around my garden area. It's a chore to keep them contained though! Do the "secret garden of survival" thing and interplant fruit and nut trees and shrubs with smaller annuals and herbs in a natural-looking arrangement rather than in neat tidy rows. Once things grow in it will look like a field of overgrown weeds and such, keeping hungry people from spotting your food from hundreds of yards away.
Very good points. I like the openness of your property. I wish I could do that but here in Washington I can only clear so much. Thank you for all the hard work you do for us all.
ADT, Northstar and Nordstrom (I had Northstar, family has others) no longer notify police, they now send a text for glass breaks and other access to your home. I can't hear a text when I'm on tractor for instance. Do not sign a contract w a security company, DIY is just as effective w cameras like Blink!
Camoflage your home driveway.....put your stores in a remote bug out....make your home blend in. And a escape tunnel
Rose bushes would be good, too because of the thorns
Barberry bushes would be even better!
Have Red Rose Bushes around my house and love them ❤️ ♥️ ❤️
Make sure you can switch lights off when you need to, sometimes it's better not to draw attention with showing all the lights when all the other people are in the dark, having large flood lights and power systems will mark you as a prepper and paint a bigger target onto you if people are looking for food and supplies.
Dark homes at night are more likely to get broken into. Once we put in lightning and flood lights, we don't have thugs checking our cars in our driveway anymore. My door handle on my car is a security feature. If pulled when door is lock won't go back in. Unless I unlock car and push it back in place. In the morning I would see my car door handle pulled out weekly. It stopped, when we put in flood lights.
Stay dark, stay quiet
Exactly. Solar Security Lights that don't require Electricity are a great option for Outside your house. But lights in the Window suggests that you have power, and therefore probably have food. If every House is Dark, you need to cover the windows before turning on any lights.
The man also mentioned a Battery Bank, which is HUGE in a Grid Down Situation. Generators make a lot of noise, and require constant refueling. A battery bank or power station and an Inverter provides nice quiet power.
Sometimes it's better to blend in, so nobody knows what you have. 😊
Reinforcements are just to buy you time. Doors and windows become fatal funnels for the intruder if he has to spend time there and make noise getting through. The outer doors that open out are great for that. Most doors can be knocked inward off their hinges easily.
He makes this point very well at about 14:00
I think hiding your preps within your home and getting outta the way should also be planned.. at the end of the day if they can't get in there isn't much stopping them from not letting you out.. or burning you out.
If we open the door because someone starts or is trying to start a fire.. whoever is outside better be ready to meet Jesus. Just saying. Ain't no body coming on our property to harm us without a fight. ~ misty
I totally agree... prepare to meet your maker would be an appropriate statement... but one he'll of a scary situation to find yourself in.
@@veloxversutusvigilans4133p😅😅 FC
Good info. I didn’t hear you use the word, “deterrent”. If SHTF happens, (my opinion) desperate hungry people will go after easier targets. The fact that you have lighting, barriers, cameras and more would deter anyone from attacking your property.
A whole not more .. our group with a lot of numbers of projectiles
@@TheMacs1 : That part, especially 💯❗
You can also put broken glass all around the outside of your windows with a light cement paste.
One rarely discussed weak point on most suburban homes is the Garage Door.
Those builder grade garage doors are anything but secure from a forced entry ...
Yep
@B roll down security shutter, for starters. Cancel your vacation on that one. I've heard of people putting sidewalk anchors into the floor so they can bolt the door closed if needed.
Picked up a couple of tips. We’re 9 out of 10 folks please pay attention. This is so important. Stay vigilant. God bless.
All these camera systems, and alarm systems are great. What happens if the grid goes down? Even if you have backup power, you won't have internet, which most, if not all systems rely on. Aluminum cans, snap triggers with centerfire primers also work, no matter what. Just saying...
They all have batteries on them, deer cameras and Low tech will last longer but we have s major grid down situation, you are relying on reinforcement of doors and abs windows and lots of projectiles
Getting, more motion lighting, cameras. Solar is good so far on the camera that I have. Looking at Night vision too.
I myself like motion censored shotgun shell rig that you have a switch where you can turn them on or off sends a charge to the primer which sets the shotgun shell off
They also make a film for windows that make them bullet resistant. Add that to the mesh screens and it’ll add a really good barrier
Hi Macs. Another great video Love watching yall and the information for the people. God bless America 🇺🇸 God bless and protect yall 💖💖
My thoughts are to put chain link fence across your garage door and siding door when it hits the fan won't stop them but u will know something is going on and sand bags for bullet protection
Thank you and your family for the knowledge you bring to all of us!!
This is a great topic and useful information. I really like your exterior security door installation. Definitely a deterrent for easy entry. The stainless security screens for the windows are a great idea. If you are targeted by a group of armed individuals, nothing will stop them from entering, but you have made your home less desirable with your layered defense strategies. Good job 👏 and thanks for sharing 👍
I agree 💯❗
I installed window screens like yours about 12 years ago and am now glad I did 9:28 as I am now 82.
Great video; thank you! Very valuable tips.
I want to mention the importance of having a solid alliance with your neighbors. Establishing even a "community watch" neighborhood will be great security for everyone.
Those doors are great!!!
When you live in a mobile home doesn't matter if you have steel over the windows and doors they can just kick through the wall
Yes in a mobile home more risk
I've thought about a home security system but with the technology companies today and the type of government we have I don't trust that they wouldn't abuse the power and be able to see inside and outside my house whenever they should choose to.
Agree
Excellent no nonsense information for self protection! Thank you!
You have a good set up , because of the size of your property I would add driveway sensors to all the blind spots around the propety that will alert you get the type with different tones so you can determine which location went off as a extra layer
Also a big note on doors is have them outward opening with hidden hinges and replace the tiny screws with 3 inch screws, if you look up videos on it it’s way harder to kick in assuming it doesn’t have a window you can reach the door knob with. It’s also very hard to notice the change
All great information again brother. I have implemented some of this and looking at more. Our zone 1 has a German shepherd, a Kangal shepherd and a American bulldog in it for first alert and security. Keep up the good work and God bless you all
What can you do livening in Appartment ? What’s a good second DOOR 🚪 !!! Plus reinforcement for windows? Live up stairs ??
Excellent video. You've given me a lot of ideas. Thanks for a thorough and well thought out presentation.
You saw my post on Facebook talking about natural plants as barriers. 👍. I posted it up a year or two ago.
I mentioned mixing bamboo with thorny plants. The bamboo can be dense and allow other thorny climbing plants to grow up it and through it. Roses, brambles, blackberries etc. Plus, poison ivy. You can also have holly bushes / trees and hawthorn bushes / trees etc.
Done right, it will also bring in wildlife and insects that are beneficial.
Cactuses...
Another WELL PRESENTED MESSAGE! Thank you Colby!
-Mike
Steel window shutters and a steel shutter for your door is fabulous safety!
Great Ideas, thanks for the video! An odd Idea for you about stock piled supplies. If your home is penetrated, maybe have "low hanging fruit" that appears to be your most valuable goods, while have a(or several) more well hidden stockpile of your actual valuable goods. Like a pad-locked pantry as an obvious horde, and then having like a hidden cellar pantry with your valuable food stuffs/supplies. A buried food cash on your property that can be retrieved in relative stealth. Or Cash hidden in your walls that you can literally bust out in emergencies.
We dont have windows on the north n south side of our home. Only front n back. The north side has garage and south side has bathroom w one small window high up. Shutters that close n look good may cost more but that way you can look at something nice if nothing happens but if it does happen you can shut n lock shutters.
Thanks for sharing all your expertise.
08:12 I wonder if I can take one of those frames/screens and weld it to my back door. It has a huge window.
We have a small dog and am looking for a cattle/chicken friendly bigger dog. we also have attack cats. No joke, our cats not only are alert to people coming to the door, but one actually hisses and lies in wait.
I know that's right 😊💯❗
Try a Great Pyrenees. Great dogs
Thanks, Colby!
Thank you for the valuable advice. I suppose there could be different kinds of marauders/invaders. In my country, attackers often want people to be at home, so that they can threaten them (sometimes even torture them) and get guns and valuables as quickly as possible without having to search for them.
Prayer can also make a big difference of course. I've heard of people being protected supernaturally.
I've read (three times -- twice in newspaper reports) about people who were able to ward off attackers by shouting "In the Name of Jesus go away", but I haven't been in such a situation myself, yet. I've only been in a situation where it worked against evil spirits. (Of course one has to be in right standing with God to have the authority to use the Name of Jesus in that way [issuing a command]).
But my suspicion is that it might be effective if a person is being urged on by evil spirits to have evil intentions and do evil things. When the demons are rebuked in the Name of Jesus, they might flee, and the person under their influence might feel an urge to flee as well. But I have my doubts about whether using the Name of Jesus against a law enforcer (someone just following orders and doing their job) would necessarily have the same effect.
I thought I might add more on this topic.
In my country there is a high level or crime, including farm attacks. What the attackers do is to scope out the farmhouse first, watching it for some time (days or weeks) before they attack. What they often do is to wait for the residents to leave, and then ambush them when they return.
But as I've said, they sometimes attack while people are at home. One farmer told of attackers trying their best to lure him out of the house one night, by making trouble with the animals. He stayed put inside. He was alone, and all he had to drink was the water in the kettle. The criminals finally gave up and left.
This isn't always the case. Sometimes attackers force their way into the house, even if they have to enter through the roof. One elderly lady bought a television three times in short succession after being robbed repeatedly. With the last incident she realized that the robbers had come for her, not just for her possessions, and fled from a side door, running out into the dark towards her neighbors. My thought about this was that perhaps at this point she should stop buying televisions (a popular attraction for robbers).
A sad thing is that sometimes people are attacked by employees or by people they had taken under their wing. In one instance, a domestic worker had been with the family for a number of years and all seemed well, but a new boyfriend had a bad influence on the woman. It ended with a violent robbery.
Finally, I hope you don't mind if I send you something I wrote for someone else, about the power of the Name of Jesus, which can be of value to Bible-believing Christians when they are in right standing with God. An easy way to be right standing with God is to pray the Lord's Prayer (that Jesus gave us to pray) from the heart (trusting in God with child-like humility and dependence).
Three times I read about people being saved by the power of the Name of Jesus. Twice in newspaper reports, a number of years apart. It was a provincial newspaper with a large circulation. The first time, there was a small article at the bottom of the front page. It reported on an attack that took place a long distance away from the head office of the newspaper, in the south of the country. A woman was walking in a park when two youths rushed at her and started stabbing at her with screwdrivers. She raised her hands to fend them off, and they stabbed her in the hands. She then cried out, "In the Name of Jesus don't hurt me!" They turned away from her and started stabbing each other. Then they stopped and ran away. Although the woman had been injured, she found this experience tremendously positive, and afterwards said that people should not be afraid to trust God to help them.
The second newspaper report was on page 4 if I remember correctly. In another part of the country (this time in the north, also a long distance away), a university student and his girlfriend were sitting in a public park, working on a study assignment. Suddenly four men wielding knives approached them and attacked them. They tried to defend themselves -- the female student threw her cellphone at one of the attackers, while her friend tried to fend off the others with his notebook. He realized that it wouldn't be enough, and shouted, "In the Name of Jesus Christ, go away from here!" The attackers immediately turned and fled. The student said afterwards that there had been a church group nearby, but that they had done nothing to help them.
The third report of someone being saved in this way was in a book on farm attacks. The author explained the modus operandi of farm attackers, and mentioned amongst other things how they would sometimes leave some kind of object (often of a certain color to give a coded message) near the gate or fence of a farm that attackers intended to target. Farmers had to be on the lookout for such things and for anything unusual. In the last or penultimate chapter of the book, he said that after covering all that he did, he had something more to say which might make a difference, to people willing to consider such advice. He told of various individuals who had found themselves trapped by attackers and had to think quickly.
One of the incidents he described was of a woman who had just returned home from a shopping trip. She parked her car in the driveway of her yard, and got out of her car. As she stood there with her shopping bags, a group of men ran towards her from the backyard. She cried out, "In the Name of Jesus, leave me alone!" (or something similar-sounding). They changed direction, curving away from her, and kept running, right out the gate. She never saw them again.
As I've mentioned, I have personal experience in this regard but would prefer not to provide all the details. Suffice to say that I was finally able to put more distance between myself and someone who was involved in the occult (who I forgive and regard with compassion and respect), by saying, "In the Name of Jesus I bind you; in the Name of Jesus I forbid you from watching me any further and exercising influence over my life; in the Name of Jesus, go away!" It was effective. The person (astral projecting with the help of an evil spirit) couldn't continue watching me that way.
I read somewhere of someone in Tibet having had a visionary dream in which Jesus appeared to him and advised him as to how one should deal with evil spirits. Amongst other things (according to what I read -- can't remember whether it was in a book) this person reported that Jesus had told him that when you say with authority, "In the Name of Jesus", demons (evil spirits) freeze. I don't know whether that is true, but if it is, it would mean that you don't have to be in a nervous hurry when (while in right standing with God), you rebuke an evil spirit (or a person being urged to do something evil -- e.g. harm you -- by evil spirits -- a person who has decided to give in to that urging).
You can be calm about it. When you issue the command, say it like you mean it, in a succinct, straightforward way. Not in a ritualistic way, as though it's mere words, but from the heart. Almost like you would tell a dog that follows you, to "Go home!". You can even say it softly if you want -- demons have sharp ears.
I suspect that what might be happening in the case of someone who attacks you in person -- within hearing distance -- is that evil spirits are very afraid of Jesus and His authority (they tremble in fear), and that when a Christian believer rebukes evil spirits, the fear that they feel can also be felt by the human being they are influencing. Whatever the explanation might be, the important thing to me is that thanks to the power and grace of God, it made a difference. I have a defense.
To God be all the thanks and glory!
REMEMBER the fourth commandment KJV is reminding us of Genesis 2:2&3.
I'll give you gold here. Clear everything away from your house that someone(s) "assaulting" your house (after SHTF) could use for cover or concealment. Now give them places to duck behind. In other words, the only items of cover that they can run to are things that you provided for them. This is a really good version of funneling your enemy into "kill zones".
Once you have thought that out, concider the following...
You can construct these objects of "cover" to LOOK very substantial, as in they look "bullet proof". You could build build a short (6 or 8 ft. long?) low (3 ft. high?) wall that looks like concrete (solid looking). Frame it up, skin it with thin plywood, and then stucco it. Paint it concrete gray. Now if you were an "enemy combatant" and were running up on your house you would naturally run to the only "cover" available which would be that ""concrete" wall which high speed flying lead will pass right through. You could further put a divider of some sort that would funnel two people to either end (left and right) of the wall. Make sure you construct the wall to bunch the two individuals into an exact location so you know exactly where to direct fire to. Further, you could design various types of comand detonated party favors behind these walls. Think gelled fuel fun. Hell, you could easily buy two bear traps and place them at each end of the wall. Could you imagine them dropping a knee into a bear trap. They will NOT get that knee out.
There are hundreds if variations on this concept. You could install cameras behind the wall so you could actually see them behind the wall. 100% of the idiots coming to raid your house most likely are not going to be thinking that you have pre planned funneling them into party zones. Do not do any of this unless we are living in an actual war zone without rule of law.
I actually wrote this as a joke and as a thought exercise only. I never intended this for actual use on any level. Just sit and think about it.
Just saying.
Roger that ! 👍
Start with psalm 91. Highly recommend
A great product to enhance your solar generator is a battery sump pump back up.. I have a solar generator and solar panels and I also have 2 sump pump back up battery. Plug the back up in and plug the sump pump into it. Will run my pump for 24 hours. The plus is I paid 150$. Not a long term thing but great for when the power first goes out and if you are running a generator you can charge these up like a solar generator for a fraction of the cost.
You can buy wireless sensors and you can put up at the front of the gate of your house and you can get a repeater where you can get signals from everywhere but they got to be you know repeaters to boost your signal I use them things on one of my jobs for years and they actually work good if you've got hey they got an internet system you can hook up on them now but I don't think they're not wireless is the way to go if someone hits the grid you would need wireless with a battery that you can charge outside
Subbed and liked 👍 😊. As a militant Yugoslav, a dewalt framing gun on batteries beds in 3 in nails over half way. At 2 metres plus. On my reinforced punching bag. But I'm modifying it for more accuracy and power. In Australia? No guns.
