I bought one of those and put it at the bottom of the steps just like you did. That way I get notified when my mail is delivered. The mailman doesn’t like the idea.

[@tylerg3679]

😂😂😂

[@mrmillmill]

😂 hands down the best idea yet!

[@theunknownknowsBYvoivod]

Well, if he can't take a joke...

[@wallychambe1587]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@johntrinidad4091]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@theunknownknowsBYvoivod]

I've wanted some of these for a while. Wife says "no". We really can't deploy them where we live right now. She's right. But I'm getting some anyway.

[@bradIeyyy]

I hear you, my wife and your wife sound like they know each other... I ordered anyways just in case

[@Linda-xw9lj]

Oh I’d be begging my husband for them. 😂

[@nukiesduke6868]

That's why you get IR motion sensors first, they also make laser trip wires and the base goes in your house. These are for SHTF or you're in a rural area.

[@DonnieDarko727]

Footstep detection FTW

[@theunknownknowsBYvoivod]

@@nukiesduke6868 I do have some of those. They're great for power outages.

[@j.williams560]

I’ve been using these for 4+ years when camping in the backcountry. Living in griz country one needs a few extra seconds

[@emeraldfox7175]

Then dep.oy it further from your campsite,Duh!!

[@bigjoe4705]

Don’t forget to get the .22 adapter! Get blanks at your local hardware store! The blanks used in nail guns!

[@Brett-yq7pj]

nail guns don't use bullets there's like a ram shot thing but nailguns use air from compressors or tubes some are battery operated too

[@narref04]

Having tested the 3strengths of 22 Hamer blanks, they all have a different level of sound.

[@TannerSwizel]

​@@Brett-yq7pjsome nail guns use blanks when compressed air isn't enough such as for steel and concrete. Ramset is perhaps the most well known brand

[@fithopsllc]

Thanks Don for such a thorough look at our trip alarm. We really appreciate it!

[@Onix.556]

I bought this two days, it arrived today and I immediately bought more. I was shocked how well made it is. They honestly process and ship faster than any company I’ve ever seen. When I made my second purchase today around 11:am EST, it had shipped by 2pm. I’ll definitely use this company again

[@thebrowns5337]

[@digitaldreamer5481]

Since you won’t ship the flash-bangs to Hawaii, I have been cutting the 12ga birdshot rounds of all the buckshot and waddings to use as safe blank rounds. I also bought the adapter to fire just the primers also. These work very well and worth every penny! 🤙🏻

[@HarrisonCountyStudio]

I’ve got the adapters as well. The flash bangs are almost never in stock and they expensive… but they are bad ass.

[@narref04]

I have the myriad of these. Post 2020s summer of love, i decided to get more than the 2 camping ones i already had. With 308s and 22s in my safe, having the 22 and 308 options ontop of my 12g ones is very welcome.

[@jbcox1776]

Love your tips and content. Thank you!!

THANKS SOOTCH Bought ordered a few, good deal

[@aray2840]

Great video! I had already been researching these, but after watching your video it answered my remaining questions. I used your link and placed an order tonight directly from the company. No need to get a possible Chinese counterfeit from Amazon!

[@fro-yo-momma7082]

Put dragon breath on it then you got something haha

[@theunknownknowsBYvoivod]

That's a terrible idea. I would try it.

[@BosleyBeats]

[@healthywealthywise]

Love your videos brother but at the 1:45 mark “use it in a hotel room”….ummm, can you imagine the ruckus caused by this in a hotel room! Yikes!

[@09jisaac]

"House keeping..."

[@Shrouded_reaper]

Good way to get some trigger happy cops to show up and ventilate you

[@__logan__duvalier__]

should be OK in a Texas hotel !

[@michaelzimmerman9221]

I have around 20 and some are of the 12g and some are 22, they work great!

[@Texasgirl10]

Got some of these! Thank you!

[@timbawktoo6063]

This things is really cool! Very reasonably priced too

[@coltruger2553]

Bought some of these for camping in bear country. Great product!

[@VintageAmmoTim]

They sold a version of this WAY back in the day in US Cavalry magazine…love these! 👍💯🤣🇺🇸

[@emeraldfox7175]

And a lot cheaper!

[@aspitofmud6257]

Big fan of fifth ops products. The 22 and 308 blanks are newer additions and look like fun but even the primer setup is plenty loud to freak someone 0ut.

[@possumpopper89]

I make my own blanks with a single stage reloader. I size, prime and then hand measure and dump about 20 grains of pyrodex powder, no powder measures w black powder. Static electricity can ignite the powder. Then seat a shotgun wad to provide some resistance to build the pressure. They are loud as heck! Make your ears ring. Perfect for these alarms.

[@timb4425]

Looks like a great alarm system. The thing that stops me from buying them is all the wildlife we have around us. On any given night, we have deer, rabbits, opossum, cats, etc that are in and around our property. I would think that they would regularly set this off.

[@Chrispbacon99]

Exactly.

[@fredtaylor9792]

For a while. Lol

[@gutierrezc8709]

These will make great Father's Day gifts.

[@donausmus4281]

I use these with high power 12 ga blanks and Dakota Alert sensors. I don't wimp out on the firepower. I also use the .308 adapter. Best to seal any " boom" you use, from the weather. Tie to the firing pin first by the way.

[@__logan__duvalier__]

Yes Sir ! I use claymore's as perimeter alarms

[@Nik-nd1mv]

Still got neighbors?😂

[@tonygonzales5792]

I've seen people Open up the 12gauge round pour out the bird shot and pour Cayenne pepper instead.

[@emeraldfox7175]

Yes luv,works very well

[@kaliumnitraat]

Flash powder

[@SurfAndTravel]

when I buy my property I'm definitely gonna a get these I will use your link when I do !

[@mattwernecke2342]

Thank you!

[@Joseph_Dredd]

This one is awesome....available in the UK too so fabulous.

[@steveclark..]

Am I right in saying that you can only buy the shells if you have a fire arms certificate?

[@Joseph_Dredd]

​@@steveclark.. What do you mean by "shells?" As far as I am aware these only use "Blanks"and Amazon freely ships them to UK addresses so one presumes a firearms licence isnt needed. Theyre blanks after all, and small ones, not real shells.

[@steveclark..]

@@Joseph_Dredd Yes, blanks, he called them shells in the video, that's why I used the same word. Good that you don't need a firearms license to get something that just makes a loud bang, one day the snowflakes will probably insist that you do.

[@theinnerdreamer7043]

Get “solar powered drive way motion detectors”. Can place them around perimeter of house when they detect motion they broadcast a signal to a receiver that you have in the house that can be battery powered and it beeps. Can have different beeps for different detectors so you know where the motion is coming from.

[@doon44]

Can you do a video with a decibel meter and all the different rounds. Also a night video to see how bright the flash is would be great.

[@steve8189]

Nice video. However, what part of ANY of those options would you personally recommend in a hotel setting, as recommended? And if so, are you referring to a specific state?

[@Tadicuslegion78]

Didn't you make a budget version of this years ago with cheap mouse traps and shotgun primers?

[@jeffreywwilson]

Thank you so much for saying 6061 T6 instead of “military grade” or “Aircraft”

[@TheDonald2024]

wow these look great ! Love that last message Long Live the Republic 🇺🇸

[@runningman1156]

the price of these has gotten crazy, I will make my own.

[@I2AT]

What 22lr blanks are those? Tried to find regular length 22lr cases that are blanks but no luck.

[@TheYyam85ahaz]

I noticed when you tested the Chinese version w zip ties, the devise shifted lower. If you used screws like you did with the USA made option it likely would have fired.. Thx for the review no the less

[@prime8krish]

I think one should first set the pin before the blank is placed.

[@marko11kram]

The dynema is the way to go IMO

[@kengarrett8657]

Wow ! I am liking that. Thanx for the review!

[@PaulCella-zf8ve]

I like these! I would also like to find some trip flares. I believe these would work well together.

[@bubba99009]

With the 22 adapter would have the advantage you could source the 22 blanks from any hardware store (used for nailing into concrete)

[@JamfSlayer]

Great video, Sootch! Please find a way to safely test a blank 50BMG shell😂 I'm sure I'm not the only one curious on this😂😂

[@clovenbeast5183]

Matched with a 12 gauge barrel adapter in your choice caliber

[@bripp3958]

@sensibleprepper what’s that dewalt screw bit you use ?

[@bobsickinger6017]

Also work well with 12 gauge shotgun flares

[@Kwaldon]

I can't seem to find any 12ga blanks. Where is the best place to source those?

[@skutertrash1]

I bought that cheap one off of Amazon and had the same result as you. Never have been able to get it to fire.

[@thomgizziz]

put a stronger spring on it... this isn't rocket science

[@skutertrash1]

@thomgizziz any idea where to find that heavier spring? It came with two, neither worked. I tried stretching one to increase its pressure and that didn't work either.

[@FirstnameLastname-qc3xx]

This is pretty awesome haha

[@landog59]

On the cinese one, just put a bigger spring!

[@user-fy8ll3ze5e]

Living in the Suburbs I won't deploy mine at this stage of the Psyops but if the grid goes down these go up. You "could" load it and "mount it" backwards" and the shell cannot come out but you cannot easily reload either.... Utilize extreme caution when loading and mounting.

[@thomgizziz]

Why on earth would you do that? If they have already seen the trip wire then it is useless anyway. All you are doing is making things harder for yourself, smh

[@MujoNovak]

yep, aliexpress have pen-spring in it and does not work.

[@growinlegit]

Maybe a person could drill a second hole further down on the knock off one to give it more of a strike on the round

[@eltenda]

Interesting!

[@FeldwebelWolfenstool]

...I've had a couple of bears walk into my campsite, over the years. I bought a battery-powered infrared motion detector alarm...

[@BosleyBeats]

Don coming in hot with this gadget. So badass and thank you for keeping us country boys safe hah! Such a good investment and defense tool. So clutch Sootch

[@dalirfarzan1694]

What would happen in a survival situation if you didn't have blanks? Would a real round work?

[@frederickmartin6998]

Which one is loudest?

[@useruser400]

So a firecracker. Got it.

[@emeraldfox7175]

Im not paying 60 bucks for this,i make my own!

[@user-jr2jv5ic5p]

Where can I get one?

[@leviluikart977]

Iv used mouse traps and pop caps as a kid when we would play paintball in the woods

[@FiveSonsFarm]

Is this an old one?

[@twinarrowssurvival.2.065]

Definitely going to get some for my homestead..

[@j-sonS]

I have one of these near the top step on my backyard deck. Nobody should be back there...at least i would get a heads up

[@mikekolczynski5665]

Had my outbuilding broken into. Got some Fith Ops 12 gauge alarms rigged to the door. Got flashbangs, pepper spray, and dye rounds awaiting the perp. Created a motion sensor using a 9 volt battery, led, siren, and motion sensor all within a pill bottle.

[@miguelboricuapatientlongsu1855]

🤔 cool 👍🏼

[@tommybarrios3307]

Here's a safety concern question. When using the green "sight and sound" 12 gauge cartridges. There seems to be a chance of starting a forest fire. What are your thoughts? I placed an order through Fith Ops, but my thoughts are for the safety of all.

[@allens9573]

I set mine up to work, so my stupid boss will quit sneaking up on me when I'm trying to sleep.

[@SRocco-dv8we]

In a hotel room 😮? You have got to be joking 😂….. what kind of hotels are you sleeping 🛌 in ? Hourly ? 😂 in a hotel room ? 12 gauge blank trip wire device ? 😊

[@peternelson9865]

Why would they not use a stainless steel pin?

[@chrissewell1608]

These would keep the deer 🫎 out of the garden 🌽🍅, and coyotes 🐺 away from the yard! 🙋

[@dirtybrd702]

In an actual grid down situation those will be used a lot differently than just as alarms

The obvious question is will two screws hold for an actual shotgun shell?

[@splinterinthemind5158]

The options are many..imagine one extra eyelet @ 90 degrees

[@fragnshrapnels]

For the folks that have the chinese knockoff. Maby you can find a stronger spring. Cause It's easy to disasemble and replace it.

[@KateHikes1933]

$35 each is crazy, especially when you want several.

[@shaynehawkins713]

Tin can with rocks and a string. Haha.

[@matts6807]

Wish they had an adapter for a M200 blank!!!

[@PewLand]

The cool thing about these is you can also put marine flares in them and place them upside down. When someone trips it it will shoot a flare about 120 feet into the sky. You cabn also place a 3/4 pipe over the flare if you want a little bit of extended range to act as a barrel.

[@rogerdavis2056]

Those are cool but, I would rather have another form of signal, maybe a alarm sent to a phone. I would not want that person to know I know they have broken the perimeter.

[@chasorchard1140]

That bang might scare them off !

[@nebssac295]

On the knock off brand he had the set screw all the way down..?
