This is a very important tool I agree. I always been big into loud alerting devices like loudspeakers and sirens and megaphones because of the big distance capabilities. One of those things a lot of people don't think about at first but than find a lot of uses for after getting it.
The visual of being stuck in a crowded aisle at Walmart along with a bunch of people who are looking to snatch up Frozen toys... gives me the willies. Sounds worse than an episode of Walking Dead. Nice megaphone!
I am getting one for sure, thanks for the video. I am not sure why this isn’t on the list of prepper gear for more people. I mean SHTF “private property, you’re not welcome, turn around or die” simple to the point and from a distance.
Very cool megaphone. Great idea for trespassers and crowd control. My New Year's resolution is to avoid Walmart in 2015. I know that I will go through withdrawal symptoms, but I think I will be okay. :-) Have a great new year.
Im glad you put this video out. I myself just got one about 5 days ago for very same prepping reasons you mentioned. Though yours is allot nicer then my own.
You know a Prepper is very well setup when all they have left to review is off the beaten path items... like megaphones lol Still great topics! Just funny how it's things we never think about. Beats the same guns and gear and canning reviews.
I've always used Black Friday as a talking point when someone says " Why do you prep?" Me: "If people are willing to act a fool just for these "deals" then how do you think they will act during a crisis / natural disaster?"
In late February, which was the last time I went to the store, it occurred to me that people train every year to get out aggression in the stores. Black Friday is an annual tournament. Let there be a fight over bottled water.
Aloha SP1. West Marine has some good megaphones. I've put it to good use during 2A rallies over the last couple years. Definitely establish some coded signals of the siren for the entire group, and with multiples, you can pass a signal from miles away via relay, without the weaknesses of radio/telephony.

glad this one showed up on my watch again vids....Radioshack in my area is going out of business and had discounts at 80-90 % ...I showed up to pay a cell phone bill and not to buy anything but 80-90% well spent 117 bucks and came out with over 600 bucks worth of stuff...including another Megaphone I got for 10 bucks....whats for Radio Shacks closing in your area for great deals...
Good idea, SouthernPrepper1. A noise making device is always a good idea. It can be used today. The megaphone/siren would be handy, for a lot of people right now. If someone is prowling around, the neighborhood late at night, the megaphone user (for a neighborhood watch group) could ask what they're doing. The police helicopter has a loud megaphone. There was an old gal in my town that lived next to a liquor store. The patrons of the store, would use her front yard for a public bathroom. She couldn't get the Mayor or the Chief of Police to do anything about it. She bought a siren to use. It worked except for the extremely vile drunks.
I have mentioned using a megaphone in a video I did. Besides alerting/controlling friendlies, you could use it to warn off approaching people/vehicles, while staying out of normal voice range and saving your voice. I lost my voice several times at Ft. Benning with all the yelling during OSUT.
If you wanted to be mean, you could have used the megaphone to tell the unruly Stuffmart crowd that to they needed to get a purchase tag from a stuffmart manager named D.B. Cooper in the service department (and then run like crazy before they figure it out and come back).

heres a question to pose and possibly you might make future video . lets say grids down already and you find the need to increase your solar power abilities. looking around town what things or items and or locations might you think about scavenging solar panels wiring battries from in the now no longer existing infra structures that existed b4 shtf or wrol? would love some ideas there ty
Hey brother. I'm disabled and we got tweekers breaking into cars 4 stories down below where I live. What's a good bullhorn to use to yell and bring attention to them. Thanks
Well to me Costco has the best deal for buying TV's and their prices are pretty competitive for a quality unit. Also you get a second year on the Warranty...and for the first 90 days you can return it no questions asked. As for Frozen...you can't even say the word near by granddaughter without her heart rate increasing...she is totally Disney brainwashed 100%
I know that shopping was going to be a problem. I have a membership at a warehouse club. You should send me a message and tell me what you are looking for in a television. I always see some good television deals down there. I got this 24" flat screen with built in DVD player for...$140 I think. I am sure I can get a better deal at the warehouse than you would had gotten at Walmart anyway.
No amount of prepping is going to save you from the wrath of God Almighty. Get Born Again, that is the only prepping you will need. All else is vanity.
a co worker gifted me a laser he got in china. its extremely bright and can be seen for miles. i was thinking about the possibility of using something like that for silent communication. you can see the think up in the sky like a search light. i was also wondering if it were bright enough to disable night vision.
Joe Primal Anybody with a quality report of the El Cheapo Harbor Freight megaphone.? This has been on my list for a LONG time. I think it could be one of the most important prepping items.
I had to watch this again it is odd the interest in you and your group you should also get a church bell the mega thunder can be the alert/ warning and the bell could be the all clear ...?
Thank you never thought about it. Thanks for sharing and God bless.

Megaphone is a good idea! Great addition to your infrastructure.
A megaphone! I never would have thunk it! Nice purchase SP1!

Thanks for the advice and the review. I just bought one based on your recommendation. Cheers.
Thank you for not destroying my ears.
The prices during Black Friday should be everyday prices.
Im glad you put this video out. I myself just got one about 5 days ago for very same prepping reasons you mentioned. Though yours is allot nicer then my own.

Nice piece of kit David!
Great Product Review. Although it freaks me out sounds like Marshall law time!
it's only a seven minute video. I am FIVE MINUTES INTO IT and I still haven't seen the megaphone. Why? Why man, why?
Good for you Man...Good for you.
Skip to 6:40 if you came for the siren tone.
Wow that's an excellent video, I didn't realize how big the megaphone was, and yes it's very loud keep up the good work thank you
A lot of them like the Pyle-pro actually have a jack for 12 volt. My PMP53IN does but for some reason amazon mistated it as 9v in the description.

You need a Claxton Siren like the one we had at Waldheide Kaserne.
Great idea. Never thought of this item before. As for Wal-Mart. I haven't been in years. Refuse to "buy" into their plan.
That will be great for morning reveille.
Dave, I don't usually say this to other guys, but........ yours is bigger than mine. Congratulations.
I apologize for the TV, luckily you got out of there alive. The terror is real
Thanks for the headphone warning!! that was loud!

sweet!
You can hear the echo of the siren when he turns it off, so it tells you this sucker is loud.
What did you start doing about less lethal 12 gauge rounds? Thought you were going to experiment but haven't heard from you yet in regards to it.

Rick Carter amen. Put your faith in Him and Him alone. New birth and the blessed assurance secures us from all of these fear based notions.
my megaphone is very similar to that one it might even be the same just from a different brand
how can I meet other preppers ?

Anybody with a quality report of the El Cheapo Harbor Freight megaphone.? This has been on my list for a LONG time. I think it could be one of the most important prepping items.
alpha numeric IDK. The Harbor Freight site has reviews on it and I think they're honest because some of them aren't very favorable.
You put a lot of emphasis in one place electronics security esc.
just got this one its not that loud the fanon 30 watt is way better
Dude are you the guy on Doomsday Preppers??? The one with night vision testing the 7 trumpet preppers farm security?? Please contact my page
