Prepper's Home Perimeter Defense Analysis 

When you talk to your HOA about securing gates you will quickly find they are far more concerned with the non-HOA-compliant shrubs you have planted and the Non-approved lighting you are using. You will also discover that your mailbox is 2 inches too close to the curb and your driveway will need to be replaced because it is 1 inch too narrow and was not made of the correct color/texture concrete. When you have fixed all that we will talk with you about your siding and roofing.

I respect people thinking about their safety even though sometimes it seems a litle over the top. What i respect even more are people who stay in shape and try to keep a good defensive body and lifestyle, especially in countries where guns are banned.

Driveway motion sensors are a great thing also. They alert you while keeping the intruder in the dark about what's going on. You can greet them with a gun.

Rows of Blackberries are really good defensive bushes.

Rose bushes are great defensive landscaping and having a dog helps to let you know when something is about and of course motion sensors and security lights help too.

The burgler I caught under my front steps had jumped the fence where only one neighbor could of seen and they where not home. Because I keep my eye's out and sweep I saw him laying down, dropped my grocery bags and had my Walther PPS sights on him instantly. He peed his pants, seems he was just about to kick in my door. So if people think it does not happen that was not even shtf. I added a cell phone based alarm that calls me after that.

I've always advocated be the bad guy, think like the bad guy! If I were to break into my house how would I do it? The view from above really helps in getting an over all (pardon the pun) perspective. Thanks for the video.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. Excellent production, easy to listen to, clear and to the point without a lot of useless chatter.

You can pay companies or DIY to have all house windows covered with tinted film. Can see out, but can't see in.

Awesome been saying for a long time that drones can be invaluable, being able to get intelligence while sitting safely inside your home is such an asset. Especially the birds eye view you can achieve safely.

Where I live there are a lot of trees and heavy shrubs behind my home , but it is too thick for a person to move through and I keep it that way. I also have black out drapes on all my windows.. We don't open the windows ever so the drapes are closed all the time. There are other things that make it easy for us too tell if there are people on the property that I won't go into.

Thank you for this video I wanted to see this done this way. Most talk about it but not always show

A breaker on the outside is ridiculous.

Plant bushes with thorns under each window (rose, blackberry, raspberry, these will keep people from trying to enter through the window. Those hedges in the backyard are too much of a an opportunity for concealment, throw in some blackberry's there also. I have solar motion activated lights around my house and in the backyard. These do two things, they take away the dark as an advantage for intruders, and they can light up the way the intruder ran because only those lights activated will be on. You can also install alarms on the gates, when the gate is opened a loud noise will come from the gate that was opened. Window alarms will work on gates as well, amazon is full of these devices. They can also be used in blind spots as an area denial device. Good luck.

Security is a tough topic to discuss within rule of law. There are a ton of measures I would put in place that cannot be placed prior to WROL/SHTF. The house shown would be almost impossible to properly secure, too many point of ingress, and too much cover close.

Why is the electrical service on the outside of the house? I've never lived in such a house...always on the inside, at the very least, in the garage!

Making sure that everyone in the neighborhood has this homeowners phone numbers and have it so this homeowner can open, close and lock the neighborhood gates at anytime. A quality camera system would make it very tuff for anyone to get near the home. On better systems you can set up alarm zones on every camera that will sound an alarm inside the home then send photos and video to the homeowners phone, mine work at over 800ft. You can also have some camera systems take still photos along with video. This is nice for sending up to date info on intruders to the police. They now have microwave based motion detectors that only pick-up humans and can be hidden inside walls, doors and ceilings completely out of sight. A much needed video thanks for the hard work.

I planting mule lemon tree shrubs...major thorns. I have a Harbor Freight (CHEAP affordable by anyone) wireless driveway alarm with IR sensor (400 ft range) near my car and my electrical panelboard. Any sustained ringtone from those, 40 comes out.

God bless you for this excelent video. We are back in the road. Now you have to lift it lol. We can fit 235s under mini tank

Those are really nice homes!

unless you have someone watching every side of the house or apartment your toast one Molotov cocktail and your done period....

The meter/power box I would have a make shift cage and you can purchase locks off electrical company so they still have access or just an independent lock 🔐

Nice work 👍

im just looking for ideas for building a compound and defenses

Can anyone share your ideas on how to protect your outdoor electrical box? I have the same “weakness” and I’m trying to find a solution…

How about installing a solar powered motion activated light-source directed on the outside main breaker box.

Enclose windows with metal cages like they do in latin america, its the most protective thing you can do to prevent people from breaking in your house. Trust me.

This Guy Is Totally A House Robber 😂😂😂😂😂

put additional window grills on your house basically so u wont add thinking intruder coming easily unto your house

Great vid! It reminds me Basic Training back in Ft Knox, KY...digging fox holes and establishing a perimeter. Then my ROTC yrs...avenues of approach!...in this case I would recommend a pair of german shepherds outside and a shotgun or AR inside...and two more guns...a S&W 686, 4” 7 shot and a Glock 17, Gen 5, MOS!

It’s crazy the things I think would be common sense, to me anyways people don’t think about. I have a neighbour next door that doesn’t even have blinds at the front of her house, at night you can directly see everything inside, (no I’m not a peeping Tom). For myself anyways it makes me less of a target as I always keep my blinds closed at night and during the day if I’m not in the room or if I leave the house they’re shut. In theory anyways, the amount of intel someone could get by scoping out the joint at my place should be minimal without living like a paranoid shut in.

You don't need a drone, just type your address in google maps.

That back yard might be a good place for a couple of guard dogs. Then the intruder would be more likely to feel the need to use the front if he/she wants to intrude.

All worried about the breaker and there's the meter right next to it ... Hahaha , better find something else to worry about !

Cactus are great under windows

Looked at the thumbnail and said nope. You live in literal kindle.

Hang a rebel flag in the window, that is one of the best deterrents.

You can make a home such as those shown more secure from break ins but, defend it from a determined attacker(s), not a chance.

Not really helpful for when gangs of people in blue with armor come to kill you b/c your didn't take a posion shot.

The dogs already gave you away

EXCELLENT VIDEO!

I was looking for sensible stuff. Im not worried about guys being 200 yards away with binoculars doing longterm surveillance.

Good stuff, cheers!

Finish a thought U explain a problem but not one solution Except drawn curtains and keep lights off at night

Placing the main breaker of the home outside the house is a terrible idea

Kinda screwy, I am. I salvaged some truck mirrors. And set them up to be seen from inside.( Low tec no power needed) "Preemptive is the word." Also remove your trash. Burn or bury it. I even had a pincushion, walk up and ask if I happen to have some Russian tea. And maby some of those French cookies. . The Hun tends to catalog your waste to know what you have" inventory." my unused windows get a mix of soap to fog windows. And you" bet" my dog went bonkers. I went to see. I found my selfe in hospital for four days and Jimmy marks. On my door. My answer is to get a CCW and pistol. And sensors. There cheep at about $20:00 . But really the CCW helps a lot. Naredowells don't like bullets. Tks for good work Sgt williams retired

Pungy trap with nails under all windows. Sorry about the spelling.

Two-way mirror film would help that situation

Multiflora works real well too, if you don’t have any neighbors around you to complain. Tasty rabbits can hide in there.

There is no shutters on your windows.... Seen fron here, it is a real nightmare.

What drone did you use?

Thinking like this around the clock must be exhausting.!

HELLO GTSU

Solutions?

Dude lives in gated community and apparently nice suburban neighborhood. What do you think the crime rate is in his locale? Too much time on his hands I'd say.

I hate that yard.

I'm in your bushes, you can't see me

Let’s be honest you ain’t gunna fit through a window 😂

Trim up the backyard tree limbs up to 6'

If you live in a subdivision, you're not prepping.

Pray against All Evil and Unseen Forces that may prowl around your home or family members looking for opportunity to destroy All that is Good. The Saint Michael Prayer. *"Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil; May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; And do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen."*

Charley..... I liked your presentation and attitude, but not much helpful information. Mostly common sense..... give us something to DO; i.e. types of plants to use, drapes or curtains that let you see out but doesn't let people see in, etc. Best wishes..... Ax

First!

In my neighborhood guns attract people more than police i rather be like a good fart silent & deadly & mulch who breaks in.

Looks like a prepper.

Pre-place explosives EVERYWHERE.. Jk

That wheel barrow looks suspicious

well 99% of people are not important enouigh to worry

And then God made a Dog

lol wrong.

This is crazy. I could get better advice from a paranoid guy on meth.

If you are into survival , this is one of the worst homes you could have

Alternate reality where this is just a video of a guy mansplaining to his wife why to keep the lights off and his irrational paranoia of all people as hostiles.

Americans are so afraid!
