We all know there will be good and evil and in a WROL There are sick people ready to hurt other for supplies or for no reason. There will be wolves in sheep's clothing, does it take a wolf to stop a wolf? What can we do to prepare for them? what kind of deterrents should we use? Can we trust a stranger? How do you know if he needs help or is a scout for defenses, numbers and supplies? Is better to be safe than sorry? Is being humane a abundant human quality or is looking after your own our first priority? I know there are lots of people who say get to know your neighbors. I agree, but I will NOT show them ALL supplies like food and water storage or weapons and ammo because it is hard to convince people to put money into preps instead of a big flat screen and what the first place they would look for supplies? Even good people can turn to violence when they see their families going thru starvation and we cannot feed ever one. If we feed a few they will bring a few people they care about to help them survive and they will bring others and so on , so on, so on, and we can feed them all, if we share all we have we will be in the same boat in a few weeks and what was the point of prepping in the first place if we have nothing to fall on after a short period of time? We need to ask ourselves how we will deal with this threats THEY WILL BE OUT THERE. What are your thought on this topic? Maybe we can come up with some realistic ideas that won't put our own in jeopardy
Here's some of my ideas some for now some for if SHTF
- Have at least one reliable firearm (your families safety is YOUR responsibility)
- Large dog
- Brinks stickers and yard sighs (doesn't matter if you have it of not thieves will most likely not chance it and move on)
- Protected by Mossberg or Remington decal (even if you don't have a gun, thieves are looking to steal not for a shoot out)
- Small bells like the ones on cat collars in bushes or shrubs outside, they are small, easy to conceal and need no real up keep
- Bars on windows or break proof glass
- Cactus or anything plant with big thorns growing under windows, maybe Rose bushes if you have young children(Robbers won't find it pleasant to clime into)
- Alarms on windows (even if it's the little cheap ones on T.V.)
- Small bed of nails like the ones used to keep bears out of a cabin, spray painted dark green by windows (at night if SHTF)
- Board up windows with nails running thru like spikes (if SHTF)
