Being former law enforcement, I would file a trespassing report. They may have similar crimes to which the guy is a viable suspect. Even if you don’t intend to pursue charges, you create documentation in case something happens down the line. Also, his photograph can be distributed during rollcall briefing so officers will know and some may recognize him if he is a frequent customer. Who knows, you may end up in a confrontation, and this prior documentation may help you both criminally and civilly. I would also print his photograph with a flyer and post them on local store billboards. He may see himself, and it will play with him psychologically.
I've had a problem recently with folks from the city coming on to my area looking for "scrap". They say scrap, but what they mean is anything of value they can drive off with when you are paying attention... propane tanks, tractor implements etc.. Had one guy pull up my driveway and start walking towards by barn when I stepped outside to introduce myself. Showed him each of the posted signs he "didn't see" as well as a couple of my security cameras as I escorted him back to his vehicle. I took a photo of him, his vehicle and his license plate before telling him to never step foot on my property again. I then texted all of the photos to my neighbors. Its a shame that just one knucklehead can spoil the peace and solitude we try to create for ourselves. Unfortunately I don't see it getting better anytime soon.
I'm astounded by the audacity of some of these people. Camera's, posted signs, locked gates and they just walk on up. Do they not realize how easy it would be for them to be "un-alived" for a few dollars worth of stuff? I can't understand the thought process. Thanks, William for watching.
That’s awful and crazy how folks think it’s ok to trespass onto your property. I love how you fortified your property areas and posting signs. And the most important is that you have Self Defense on at all times. It’s always layers to not becoming a victim. Great video and for sharing.
Please be careful! A couple in my area were murdered last spring when they found a squatter in their off grid cabin. They still haven't caught the guy. Absolutely horrible!
Oh wow, Jess! That is terrible! I spent the first couple of years coming up here and tent camping while clearing land. I always felt safe because I was in the middle of nowhere. That's not the case any more. It's so sad that no matter how hard you try to get away from all the craziness, it still follows you. I'm definitely paying a lot more attention to my surroundings while I'm working on my cabin now!
Oh my! That's absolutely crazy, terrifying & I'm so sorry you guys went through that. Stay vigilant but more importantly stay safe. I'd also report it to the local authorities & show his picture EVERYWHERE.
Definitely was reported first thing. It was a shock to me because of how hard it is to even get here. I was hoping to avoid all of that by being so far away from people, it's everywhere though. Thank you so much for watching.
It’ll use a little power but leaving a recording of a barely audible conversation going inside may be a small deterrent to add. Otherwise leaving signs like a few strategically placed empty 00 buck casings or anything similar to psyche unwanted visitors out before they get tempted.
Maybe this might do it - install trip lines in various places that would trigger lights, cameras, and loud sirens to turn on, and maybe a loud recording saying the police have been dispatched due to an uptick of nefarious activity reports in the area. Rigging firecrackers to go off not too far away would be fun to watch too, but that would be a little difficult to engineer. Lol.
When leaving the property ; the lock is naturally on the outside. This is a signal that someone has left the property. This is an open invitation. Find gates that chain isn't needed.
This is a great idea. I never thought about that. There are two or three people who use these gates to get to their property and I always lock the gate on the same side that I find it locked on.
Boy he’s a cutie😂 I don’t live off grid but I have motion lights and 5 ring cameras inside and out. I had a gun the police were chasing and he had a gun running right by me😳 you got some good security now!
it's great you have gone above and beyond to keep yourself and your family safe , it's sad we are in a world where we need to go to such lengths , that trespasser looked scary 😨 hope y'all stay safe
I've gotten a couple of really good ideas but I'm doing pretty much everything I can. It's hard not being here 100% of the time to watch after everything during the build process.
It's just so hard to protect your stuff when you aren't there full time. I'm working toward that but it's still a ways off. Luckily to get here without gate keys you have to hike in, and it's a tough hike. It's quite a climb on foot.
I think this guy is living in the woods he has a dug out somewhere not easily seen from the road. There are lots of videos showing people how to build one.
Well he needs a constant source of water so I would look for free flowing streams for a trail and look around the edges of your property for a trail to your house. Doubtful he uses more than one way to get to your property.
I am sure not going to make light of this BUT it could be a hunter. I KNOW it is private property. I once confronted a man who looked very similar on my property carrying a .22 rifle. He had five or six squirrels on his belt. I happened to see him and confronted him. He was a very simple man and apologized to me. He told me he was going to fry the young squirrels and make squirrel dumplings out of the older ones. I told him I don't mind him hunting squirrels but he needs to call me first. He didn't even own a cell phone. I would be very careful if you approach the man. It might, or might not, be like my confrontation.
@@ChickenBeakMountain Yep, don't need to be giving good ol neighbors a flippin heart attack. May Elohim bless you and guard you and your land and family in YaHUsHa's Name! Shabbat Shalom!
Wow, it really is even out in the middle of nowhere! 🤯 we have the same signs posted, locked gates and cameras positioned throughout our property too! 😠 I hope he wasn't able to get any of your stuff! Merry Christmas!
set up a trail cam to get licence plate pictures where the interlopers park- decide upon a course of action or just stay aware! also patterns might be revealed
Make a police report with photos. The deputies know this guy, guaranteed. He may be a CI, in which case his thieving will be tolerated, even covered up, by them. But with a report on file you've started a paper trail that even a dirty cop fears.
1 - you and your neighbor should file a report with local LE. 2 - He's in the woods , during deer season with no hunters orange. Darwin will catch up to him eventually.
The photo's were turned over to law enforcement, and unfortunately they didn't recognize him. He also doesn't appear to be the brightest bulb in the pack so you may be right on #2!
It's a little disheartening seeing that on your cameras. He didn't get anything this time so I must be doing something right. Merry Christmas to y'all as well!
It was quite the surprise seeing that that guy roaming around trying to break into things. Even more so because I'm not in a place that's easily accessible. He had to work to get to my place.
Be Vigilant, Alert, armed , head on a swivel and be ready when you see something or someone in your area. Crime is a daily occurrence everywhere in the city...country, you better be more alert cuz no one will hear ya if you need help.
Take strips of plywood and put 2 1/2 inch deck screws thru it and run 'em in all the way. Flip them over screw points up, and place them under window areas, and along outer walls. Cover light with bark dust or the like. I promise you when shitbags step on them thru their shoes, they'll do damage enough to possibly send 'em to the doc. A screw pulling thru flesh and tendons will make 'em holler and piss themselves silly. Keeps the bears away as well
@@ChickenBeakMountain two-legged have a tendency to fall down hard when they step on something. Space 'em right, and he'll have plywood strips stuck all over if he steps right and goes down. His hollering will be enough to keep those pesky bears at bay, lololol
Be careful the guy is most likely a poacher or criminal low life from the area and thus has some low life friends. It's not likely he just drove into the area never being there before.
Post his pic on social media or police, most people will rat him out, you will find out where he lives which could give you a point of entry then decide on the best deterrent, if he is aware you know who he is and where he lives that maybe enough but think about the next step
No. He wasn't able to get into anything. My closest neighbor has him on video trying to pry the lock off of his shed but it looks like he wasn't able to get into anything.
wow, crazy, a couple of pit bulls would make someone think twice, possibly might be the last mistake they ever make, this guy looks like a straight up creeper, if a wife and children were in play idk how id respond but i know it wouldnt be good for this guy.
Yup, my two mixed pits probably wouldn't do anything but they sure as heck look like they would and that is all you really need. My Akita scares everyone away cause he looks half wolf and half bear, but still he is the biggest baby of all of them. What I use them for is just an alarm to wake up the real "BIG DOG"...me lol.
I'll definitely have some dogs up there when I make the move to full time off grid. I'm just not there often enough now to have them. Thanks for watching and for the idea!
That would be awesome! Unfortunately it looks like he waited until he knew that no one was around. It would definitely be a good idea to check everything out while I'm there! Thanks for watching!
There's no explanation where he comes across as harmless. He had to have seen locked gates and signs so he knew he shouldn't be there. If he's making the rounds you might want to show the pictures to local cops because they might know him or can keep an eye out. When you try escaping the madness but it still finds you stay locked and loaded but pray you don't have to use it. Here's hoping he doesn't return and wishing you stay safe.
The photos and videos have been given to law enforcement. They didn't recognize him though. If I were there full time, I'd be able to protect it better. I probably won't be able to do that until maybe this time next year. I'm pretty vulnerable until then. Thanks for watching!
@@ChickenBeakMountain You clearly marked it private etc. Unless he had a red tipped white cane he has no excuse plus carrying a weapon makes it worse. As a tomboy I had a Father that taught me to shoot using shadow targets. I say lots of target practice and watch your 6.

He is clearly a local. Ask the Sheriffs dept if they recognized the guys picture. File a complaint. He is armed which should give you some pause.
Well said ^
He did seem rather shady. I’d be concerned with him being armed and looking around for sure.
His photo got turned over to local law enforcement. They didn't recognize him.
Sorry you are having a problem with that Brad, ❤

Creepy looking fellow at the neighbors place
He definitely has that look of "up to no good" right?!
@@ChickenBeakMountain For sure this fellow should be hunted down and see if there are fellow earthlings duck taped in the closet at his place

The drone comment is a good idea, locked and loaded, the world is insane

Hi new subscriber from sheena live
New here from Sheena
Just put up a big picture of him at the gate and anywhere else and let him know you know. That would scare him off.
That's funny! I was just talking to someone about doing that!
Put a mock grave with a sign. "Tresspasser #1"
Love it!
The thief/trespasser brought a gun, he means business. All bets are off.
Yeah, that's a little scary.
Double tap the trigger
I think this guy is living in the woods he has a dug out somewhere not easily seen from the road. There are lots of videos showing people how to build one.
Could be! I'm surely watching my land a lot closer.
