    An unusual security suggestion is to install bird feeders around your perimeter and becoming accustomed to their normal behavior. They will alert by becoming silent, unusual calls, or taking flight. Much more subtle alarms than dogs, and likely to be less noticed..

      That is great for the fence line - next get ducks and geese and keep them near the dogs...
      Wild birds wake the ducks and geese who alerts the dogs...
      No one can beat that - no batt needed...

    5 Tips to Secure Your Isolated Homestead;
    1. Install a lockable driveway gate. Keep it closed whether you're home or gone.
    2. Have all your property fenced in with field fence and barbed wire.
    3. Own two dogs that are trained to work together, (Viking Preparedness recommends Anatolian Shepherds for their strength, agility and viciousness toward strangers).
    4. Get driveway sensors and motion sensors outside the house. Also if you can afford it, buy a good quality set of security cameras with a recordable D.V.R. and display monitors.
    5. Have a scoped 30 caliber rifle, (or larger), that you are trained on just in case you need to reach out and touch someone who means to do you or your family harm.

      Instead of a Bolt .30 caliber, I'd go with an FN FAL or M1A in .308/7.62x51NATO. More firepower and you could resupply ammo off of UN or American troops if necessary too. I'd also maintain 2 or 3 AR15's or AK47/74's. I actually already have all of that plus, plus.plus, plus ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    Great advice on keeping the gate closed at all times. I have a heavy,formidable gate that I had fallen into the habit of leaving open when I was home and closing while away. I just started keeping it closed at all times because one of my dogs went out the gate and tried to introduce the mailman to her teeth. I had never considered it being a telegraph to the bad guys about wether I was home or not.

    Excellent ideas. A friend of mine is into making things. In a couple of trees in his front yard he has what he calls "Pigeon-cam". They are plastic Pigeon decoys used for shooting and pest elimination, however, he has modified them so the heads move remotely, with fitted CCTV camera in the eyes. No one takes any notice of Pigeon's in trees. He also has "Hedgehog" cam in a Plastic Hedgehog Garden ornament and the eyes face upwards so he can get a ground level to 10 ft high view of anyone at his gate, it is mixed in with his other garden ornaments. He has total CCTV coverage without a normal CCTV camera being seen and also obviously standing out as they are all hidden discreetly in Pigeon's, Hedgehog, Gate posts, Bird nesting boxes hung on the tree trunks in his backyard.

    I am also a student of Mel Tappen, and James Wesley Rawles. Dakota Alert Sensors (Amazon) with a an external antenna can have a range of 1 to 5 miles instead of less than 1 mile with the antenna it comes with. Recommend an antenna from N9TAX, 25 bucks. Use in pairs to determine direction of travel, speed, and number. The sensor transmits a digital recorded voice message to anyone with a hand held radio or scanner that can receive MURS frequencies that are between 151 to 155Mhz.
    600 yards is possible for most with a decent scope. External turret adjustments make a rifle perform to it's potential. Mil dot or MOA recitals make range estimation possible. Redfield brand makes good inexpensive scopes.

    Well, depending on what threats your surrounding provides. When most dogs territory is violated by some sort of intruder they will show their most fierce side. I had "only" a Labrador Retriever while living in a rougher inner city. And one day when I was rebuilding my fence and it was unsecured I got really worried when one of the other neighbor's mean German Sheppard was on the loose in the ally. However, to my surprise when the Shepard poked his head around the fence opening, my Lab raised his back hair and showed his teeth, barked fiercely and charged the German Shepherd, chasing it until he jumped back over the 6 foot fence in to his own back yard. As long as I lived there with my dog, no one ever broke in to my house. Some of my neighbors without dogs where not as fortunate. So, even having a dog of a friendlier breed can be great protection/alarm. Labs have also been know to save drowning kids out of pools, rivers and the ocean, as well as finding them if they just were to get lost in the woods. Then you can also use a Lab when hunting.

    Anatolians are awesome! Great Pyrenees also exceptional LGD/natural protective dogs. A lot of breeders are cross breeding the two now. Great Pyrenees are more accepting of people who they're introduced to by the owners and not as aggressive but I think the mix breed of the two is a real good balance.
    I have started researching Kengals too which I've heard a lot of good things about but never worked with them myself. I have a Pyrenees and her size alone is a good deterrent which cracks me up bc she is a big baby albeit a big protective one which is good for a single gal.

    Geese and/or Pea Cocks/Hens make excellent alarm systems. Peacocks make a super loud, piercing scream. Geese honk very loudly, they are mean and they will attack. They don't eat a lot either, comparatively speaking. If you had the Anatolians and those birds, no one would get to your house unannounced nor likely in one piece.

    You need to build Roman fort like walk around battlements around your lodgings ( the places you sleep), not unlike the settlers and soldiers of early america. Inside the fort you also build strong points. Thermal and night vision is also important. Night still represents the biggest threat, physical barriers help prevent infiltration. Other measures, no windows on the ground floor of lodgings and small windows on the second floor, a narrow long main entry to lodgings so attackers have to come singlefile. You also need loopholes in strategic places, concrete door blockers on pallet jacks ready to roll in front of breeched doors. A secure gun tower accessed by tunnel that can police 360 all internal and external perimeters of the homestead is also good idea.

    @523hotsauce 5 років тому +2

    In the midwest, plant a hedge row around your property (osage orange for instance), and then all access is limited to the driveway/gate, and then you have the upper hand. Its easy enough to do, and fits right in to the other old hedge (osage orange) rows that were planted in the 1800's.
    NOTHING is getting through that once it is established. Its thorny, thick, and one of the toughest woods known to man.
    Info online is available but limited, just collect the hedge apples in the fall and put them in a barrel or two over the winter, letting them ferment into a nasty concoction by mid spring, dig a shallow trench, slop the fermented mess in the trench, cover it back up and let it grow. You can weave the tops together between one tree and another the first and second years to help make it more impenetrable,
    and another advantage to this is it is able to be coppiced, that is you can cut it for firewood and it'll grow right back, keeping your hedge.

The other just listens and growls. Great dogs. I just lost one that 14 years old. He was another good one. He actually trained the other two in home security. And he could track a deer in storm. He was amazing. I miss him. Got them all as puppies. Thats the only way. God bless.

    Great advise Brother. I say Brother because I see out Eagle Globe and Anchor on your shirt. Five things, good start for the person to get a little secure. I just subscribed after watching this video. The dog advise we use. And have realized there are two distinct uses for dogs for a property. We have little ones, Sulkies, inside. They act as our early alarm system 24-7. They hear footsteps and they bark. Very good at night if you're a sound sleeper. We call them "Watch Dogs". The guard dogs in our case are two breeds (but I plan to get two more as you mention. We have two Rottweiler's, sisters . They roam around in our fenced rural yard, come and go the shop via secret pet door. The sight of them during the day reminds anyone scoping the place "These dogs will eat you alive." Nobody is permitted to friend them ever. We are going to start a goat, rabbit and chicken operation. And the dogs you mention are a very good choice for that adjoining property. Semper FI p.s. we are in the Ozarks as well. Wappapello, north of Poplar Bluff MO.

    Peacock birds have pretty sensitive senses and respond quickly to strangers within the bird's territory; they will fan-out which can be scene a far away if you're the land owner.
    Dogs are good but they bark at almost anything. Birdfood is cheaper than dogfood and in less portions, dogs eat a lot so keep that in mind, more dogs=more dog food.
    Certain types of rock and gravel makes loud enough sounds when it's being walked through, that's the type of rock you want directly around your house, the real crunchy stuff can easily be heard late night/early am.
    Solar lighting is good if it's placed strategically, at night certain blind areas around your property can be somewhat lit and if a light goes out you know something needs attention.
    Buy extra batteries whenever you have a chance and just store them along with extra flashlights, boxes of matches too, firewood, a webber BBQ pit, extra bags of coal, a fishing pool.
    All in all, the first 3 months would be one thing but after a year I'm thinking most survivors will end up crazy and/or insane. We've had it too good in America and to think of it all ending is sad.

If you can survive 6 months after SHTF the danger would be far less than when SHTF started. Prepare now, have at least 1 year of food in storage, can goods, dry goods (rice, beans, noodles, freeze dried goods etc) Ammunition, at least 1000 rounds per rifle, and 2000 per pistol, and 5000-10,000 of 22LR for small game (Squirls, Rabbit, Raccoon, etc) and 1000 rounds of various 12ga for Birds. Install a well for water, and rain barrels for your garden. Solar for lighting, a quality wood stove for heat and cooking. And a male and female large breed dogs for protection. And something many don't remember until it's too late, medical supplies for injury or illness. Start stocking up on topical and oral antibiotics, pain relievers, and minor surgery tools, and bandages and dressings. Peroxide and common alcohol cleaning solutions will last forever unopened.

    I don't have time to review all the comments, but I recommend the chamberlain driveway alarm, it can have 4 sensors for 1 base unit and they have a range of up to 1/2 mile!!! Plus they are not that expensive, and much better than the harbor freight alarms.

    Sounds like a good 5 steps. It reminds me, I was on eBay while back, i saw several deals on security cameras with night vision and they were with antennas so no wires needed to the monitor. I think a 5 camera pack with monitor and recording was 230.00 or so.

    we board, train & groom dogs in Texas. you make a great dog choice for that kind of setting. in texas, now 100 + deg range a heat tolerant dog is important. our place in a semi suburban area just outside bastrop so still fairly open but also in spawning neighborhood. our solution may sound funny but the chihuahua is a great alarm, heat tolerant as well as eats very little. they sound the alarm and our pit mix, rotty & I take it from there. all dogs are inside dogs. don't forget to put up a years food for your dogs!

      If its canned food you're putting up you're good, but dry kibble type will go rancid in a few months or less. BTDT. Dry food does not have a long shelf life and needs to be rotated constantly.

      Very thoughtful advice!! Thank you on behalf of our four-legged companions. I used to live in Texas and the amount of dogs chained up outside (you could tell, they were there permanently!) was enraging, and the number of cold-climate dogs I met there was unbelievable. Dogs like Huskies don’t belong in Texas, dangit, and much less chained outside in 100 degrees!

      Great advice. I have 2 poms. They are great little security dogs. Right now they're barking at a stranger at my neighbors house. They don't eat much and I will start buying canned dog food as well. Poms also don't have a dog smell. They stay very clean unless they're getting wet all the time. More cuddly when your cold and don't have much heat. But, I miss my Australian Shepherds. Their flock is everything you own as well.

    Thank you for another interesting and informative video. I just subscribed to your channel. You seem like a very knowledgeable person about many things. You and your wife are living my dream, and I am very happy for you both. I am an old woman now, but if I had the land, my goal would be to be completely sustainable ASAP. I am thinking of downsizing, like building a smaller or a tiny house. I helped my husband build this house and large garage with a small efficiency apartment about 30 years ago. This home was great while raising my children, but this 2 story home is too big. My children are all grown, so I guess you could say that I am an empty nester. My husband and I are divorced. Yahushua says in the Scriptures that if a man divorces his wife and marries another he is committing adultery. A woman who's divorced must stay single or reconcile with her husband. She is not supposed to get remarried unless her spouse dies. I don't wish that on anyone. Our divorce was very bitter. It was final in May of 2001. I would like for us to get along, like when he comes over to see our children and grandchildren on birthdays, etc. From what I could see of your property, it's breathtakingly beautiful. I would love to live in the Ozarks. Do you have problems with poisonous snakes where you live? I have always dreamed since I was a child, about growing my own vegetables, having some chickens, goats, cows ( both for milking), etc. I am so sorry I rambled on, but you are a very good teacher who cares about the people who need to be prepping. I really want a pressure canner. Anyway, Keep up the great work you are doing. May Yahuwah berekah you and all of those you love. Sincerely appreciated.

    Also consider how you are going to deal with trespassers, in the here and now. We have had our gate closed and locked at all times. Several times a year we have fence climbers. They claim vehicle troubles, or lost wanting directions, or they are wanting to come on the property to look for fossils, or they may know somebody that is a distant acquaintance of somebody wanting to know about equipment that is here or etc.... People are often stupid and they believe their need for something out weights your property rights. Its also unnerving when someone climbs your gate to determine what degree of force to respond with...... It could be an idiot that's lost, or an attack, or a person as a distraction for a larger group to attack. etc.....

      +VikingPreparedness true, dogs are a critical part of security. I had a Cane Corso, a large vicious Roman dog, he died I never replaced him. Now I have a 5 yr old child, I trusted my dog, but seeing the damage a large dog can do in seconds, I'm not sure I want that risk. Maybe the breed you suggest is more stable.

    Great video to get one thinking, it's kind of sad most preppers think that Rawles is the father of the survivalist/prepper movement and don't look back to the original fathers of survivalism (Tappan, Benson, Ruff, Saxton, Kerney) to get ideas from - many of them are still sound and can be improved with today's technology - drones being one major asset. I was just reading some pdf's of Tappan's PS Survival Notes a few days ago. Since the 70's there's always been the talk of economic collapse, a future race war or martial law just within a 'few years' some things never change.

    About the dogs, you would need to breed them. If the world/ country goes so wrong that you need them, you will need more generations of dogs. Say your dogs are 7 when the world goes bonkers {more so than it is now}. Those dogs only live 12-15 years. You have to account for injury, old age, genetic defect etc. You'll have to make sure your 2 dogs can breed.

  • @brantgentry1463

    Weapons I recommend anything durable like ak style and high-point handguns they're cheap, but tough as nails, good weapon better than some more costly ones. As for long distance, take your pick, but also durable, a .22 and a shotgun such as Mossberg also good weapons. I also recommend a bow for hunting. They're silent and you conserve ammo. Also very damaging to people aswell

    • @brantgentry1463

      Shot alot of rounds through ar-15s and m-4s in the army. Fav though was the m-249. If you want really long distance with bear killing power m82a1 .50 call or whatever brand you want in that caliber. Will set you back usually 4 grand or more, but will destroy any living creature within 1/2 click easily with one shot.

    The birds are singing and sound so happy and healthy! I was in town last week, took my dogs to the park. The birds were all thin and didn't sing at all! I was surprised because this park is huge, it's protected and there are deer among the wildlife. I would think the birds there would be happy and healthy, but no.
    Anyways, your birds sing such a beautiful song!
