[@notleviathan855]

The one thing I would suggest, are range markers. Maybe just a stake with some colored tape at the end, but then you can tell how far out an object is quickly. Every 100 meters put just a single pole down, that way there is no 'guestimating range.' Instead it's "yeah they're next to the yellow pole, they're 300 meters out." or they're "halfway between the Yellow and Blue pole, so they're 250 meters out." So, even if they DO make it past your fence, you know how far away they are. You can also make one tall-ish enough to put some fabric, or maybe flags on them to see wind direction. Now you have range, wind direction, and an open field. Maybe also a tower, yeah I'd also build a tower. Or maybe just get a giant tree imported into your yard, and put a treehouse/stand in there, have the inside walls of the treehouse be lined with dirtbags, (like sandbags, but dirt.) binoculars, water, and food. Now when it really hits the fan you've got a HIGH position, over an open field, with range markers. If you wanted to, you could get solar running, put a nice radio up there, with a beefy antenna.

[@rickh5088]

For anyone thinking about natural barriers using trees: The Osage Orange tree is a good option for this that I rarely hear mentioned. It is easy to "train" into a weaved barrier, grows fairly quickly, hardy once it gets going, and it has long spines/spikes on it's branches. This can create a very tight barrier of spikes to keep pretty much anything out (or in). The tree (also sometimes called a shrub) does grow some fruit (kind of grapefruit sized) that is inedible and can make a mess... so if looks are a primary concern then you might find the fruit all over the ground to be unsightly. If not, then there are no other plants I know of that can create a barrier as hard to get through as a tight Osage Orange tree line. Also of note is that once they start making fruit, it can spread fairly easily. Fast forward 15 years and you could find you need to put some effort into cleaning up the fruit or cutting the tree line back. Depending on the size of the area you are protecting, you can go all out or take the "easy" route. The tree can be topped and the branches weaved together over time to make it nearly impossible to get through, but this will take quite a lot of work if you have a huge plot of land you are protecting. Often times people just plant them close together and that is still enough to prevent any movement (remember, 2 inch spikes covering everything). If you wanted to go above and beyond though, weaving the branches into a wall of spikes will all but guarantee nothing makes it through, no matter how motivated it is. The wood itself is also extremely durable and has the flexibility to bend without breaking. This makes it good for use as a timber supply (it is the goto wood for things that sit outside for decades like railroad ties and fence posts because it doesn't rot and insects ignore it...even termites) and if this is up your ally, it is considered the best wood to use for making bows, which is how it got it's original name (Bow wood). Though it is pretty rare to be able to get long straight cuts out of it unless it grows naturally and with plenty of room... not exactly what we are looking for in a barrier though. It's wood is also so dense that it is the second best firewood as far as heat output. Only Eucalyptus is higher, and it is tied with Almond. It burns so hot that it is recommended to not use it in wood stoves, so keep that in mind. It is better to think of it more like coal as far as heat output goes. It is also so dense that it takes a lot more effort to harvest and is much harder on your tools than "regular" wood. Pros and cons to everything I guess.

[@kokonanana1]

[@rickh5088]

The fruit is edible by cattle and horses. It must collected though and cut up. Most animals will choke on it. Also, there is a way for humans to use as medicine. KZbin has videos by herbalist. If anyone has these trees collect the fruits and put in a line where you want your fence to be.

[@forestwoods5499]

Osage Orange is the species name but it is commonly called a hedge tree here in Missouri. There is no better wood to use for posts, especially large corner posts. I don’t know of anyone that uses it as firewood since it burns so hot that it would melt the side out of most wood stoves and then catch the house on fire.

Plus, it would tire out them before they even reach the top. They built the villages at the peak, while the descending slopes would be constructed in a step formation about the half the height of the average human. Climbing one of these steps a very exhausting feat. Let alone five of them. It made protecting the villages so much easier. As you could see 360 degrees in any direction.

Aun inexperienced group will wander aimlessly into our defensive area with no plans on what to do. The open area between the inner perimeter and the outer perimeter allows the use of many types of tricks and traps deigned to slow, injure, and stop activity between the two perimeters. When used well, people and vehicles can be deterred away long before they reach the inner perimeter. When not deterred to abandon their intrusion, intruding people and vehicles can de slowed, stopped, or grouped tougher which makes addressing, incapacitating, capturing, or eliminating them easy and effective. This defense can be conducted economically and efficiently with a combination of accurate long range weapons fire in combination with spring traps, wire traps, fire traps, chemical traps, natural gases, biological material, and animals. The tricks and traps can be rearranged to throw off re-entry of the same intruders and to keep people from figuring out weaknesses to exploit. The use of countersniping and counterintelligence will be crucial in maintaining your operational security and personnel security. This prevents someone someone outside your outer perimeter to conduct long term surveillance on your location to dissect for weaknesses. If you can capture an intruder to interrogate, capture their equipment for parts, or capture their resources for supply, you’ll know much more about whom and what you’re dealing with outside your outer perimeter. You’ll also get an idea of what it’s like outside your outer perimeter. That information will allow you to know better about how long you can stay at your location and where you may be able to go if you must vacate the area. Leaving your prepared location can put you at a severe disadvantage because your perimeter becomes much smaller, tighter, almost non-existent. You become the intruder entering unknown areas with little to no information and virtually no way to prepare for what may be there. Your disadvantage in traveling becomes more severe when you don’t know where you’re going, when you don't know if your destination is viable, and if you don't know how you can get there with no serious issues. When moving from one known safe place to another location of unknown status, you must be prepared to face opposition and be attacked all along your route. You just be prepared to alter course into unknown territory perhaps needing to abandon your transportation which will be holding much of your supplies. You must be prepared to be trapped, captured, separated, and worse.

Gas will run out, cars stuck in traffic for miles, and if there was enough time and means of communication to gather an attacking force...theres enough time and means of communication to gather a defending force.

@@PatrickThreewit Just because you have never had a problem when the world was functional does NOT mean that you won't have problems if that changes. People don't wear seatbelts because they think they are going to be in a car accident that trip, they wear them as a safety net in case you happen to be part of that 0.001% that wrecks that day. The issue isn't that something seems likely, it's that IF it all goes wrong then you don't want to find yourself screwed because of poor planning, laziness, or complacency that "nothing bad is going to happen". Considering the history of humanity and the current direction things are going, it seems quite prudent to be prepared for a day that you are ENTIRELY on your own. Sure, it might all be a "waste" of time, but so is wearing your seatbelt almost every single time...but we don't argue against that. It just depends on if you want to be prepared for someone showing up to murder you and take all your stuff, or do you want to bet your life (and possibly all of those around you) that it will 100% NEVER happen to you. It might be easy to dismiss a few "conspiracies" as being extremely unlikely (say zombie apocalypse) but there are literally millions of scenarios in which you find yourself in a similar situation. WW3, zombie apocalypse, massive solar storm fries all electronics on Earth, natural event that causes chaos in your local area (or state or country), riots, civil war we could go on and on about situations in which THIS stuff could be the difference between being alive at the end of it, or you checking out on day 1 from being murdered (or day 3 from no water). Since all of these require the same basic setup and supplies then it seems far smarter, in my opinion, to just prepare yourself and be covered from ANY of them. If you are just focused on "conspiracies" then you are failing to acknowledge ALL of the other ways disaster can strike, and there are far far far more of those.

One time, I was about 16, and me and my entire family were going out to dinner, but at the last moment I had this epiphany if they all go out I have the house to myself, so I bailed on them in favor of a peaceful night at home. Make some popcorn watch some movies, but maybe 45 minutes after they all leave I hear a noise coming from the back bedroom. This room had a rear facing window onto an outside deck. Now because our house was haunted I initially thought it was a ghost or some paranormal activity but I grabbed my shotgun just the same, and walked down the hall to check it out. When I get to the bedroom I flick on the light, and there prying open the window was a person dressed totally in black with a black ski mask, the classic cat burglar look, they almost looked corny or theatrical even. When he saw the light turn on and subsequently me standing there with a shotgun pointed at his face he spooked, and ill never forget how he quickly scurried away, all hunched over, and crab like across the deck disappearing into the night. Cops came and of course did nothing. My feeling was it had to be an inside job because they had to know noone would be at home but since I changed my mind at the last minute I unwittingly foiled their plans. So glad I didn't have to blow their head off can you imagine the mess and the clean up ... haha 😀

Couple things come to mind. The berries could become an "attractive nuisance" once someone notices they are edible (alternatively they may be a benefit in that a hungry person will just harvest enough to get through that day and move on). The diamond harrow can simply be flipped over. Granted both are passive delaying installations but every defense has defects. That box of wire etc. should be on the inside of the fence and disguised with a well placed bush or something. If on the outside it will encourage pilferage, risking your resources while also delaying a potential invader. Try to think like a threat; if you wanted to get past your defenses, how would you do it? Never underestimate a potential enemy's intelligence otr resourcefulness.

Their property is probably the first water source after they cross. They reported it to the border patrol. But nothing really came of it. So they put some water a mile away from the fence, along with some cans of beans and tortillas So it's a thought to maybe leave water and apples, nuts, carrots, whatever you grow out at the main road.

I live a Sanctuary state, I have to be more imaginative in my security. Fences and sighs are useless here. Cameras powered by solar, motion lights and sensors are a necessity. Dogs trained to be silent at all times. Love your lands. Great video. Stay safe and strong 💪. 🙏💪God family and country ❤
