I respect people thinking about their safety even though sometimes it seems a litle over the top. What i respect even more are people who stay in shape and try to keep a good defensive body and lifestyle, especially in countries where guns are banned.

I know Im asking randomly but does someone know a method to get back into an Instagram account? I was stupid forgot my login password. I would love any tips you can offer me

ive seen the scammers above in tons of comments sections. dont fall for these scumbags.

[@teddyfresh9605]

Look at California legalizing crime pretty much

[@idaho2085]

Driveway motion sensors are a great thing also. They alert you while keeping the intruder in the dark about what's going on. You can greet them with a gun.

[@jackieyoung2395]

Yes, awesome idea

[@renafarted9075]

Motion sensors are hackable

[@Shhways]

I just want to protect my home. I would prefer not to have to kill someone. I do like the concept however

[@jimh4375]

When you talk to your HOA about securing gates you will quickly find they are far more concerned with the non-HOA-compliant shrubs you have planted and the Non-approved lighting you are using. You will also discover that your mailbox is 2 inches too close to the curb and your driveway will need to be replaced because it is 1 inch too narrow and was not made of the correct color/texture concrete. When you have fixed all that we will talk with you about your siding and roofing.

[@kayakdan48]

They even launched boats to view lakeshore backyards for violations...wife was busted for garden structures that were not HOA approved ..Florida. I agree...no contact no matter what is better/prudent.

[@jimh4375]

oh and I forgot to mention that tattoo you have is not allowed, you will have to remove it. Here is a list of approved Doctors for removal.

[@catpaladin1]

No HOA for me. If i wanted someone else to control my life i would have moved to China

Rows of Blackberries are really good defensive bushes.

Throw abounch of nails and shit just in case they have a machete

[@alan_clough]

Seaberries are another interesting option. I dont know to much about them though.

[@kc-vf4lp]

Rose bushes are great defensive landscaping and having a dog helps to let you know when something is about and of course motion sensors and security lights help too.

[@itsvash679]

The burgler I caught under my front steps had jumped the fence where only one neighbor could of seen and they where not home. Because I keep my eye's out and sweep I saw him laying down, dropped my grocery bags and had my Walther PPS sights on him instantly. He peed his pants, seems he was just about to kick in my door. So if people think it does not happen that was not even shtf. I added a cell phone based alarm that calls me after that.

[@GawgaCracka]

Glad it turned out in your favor sir, damn a thief.

[@angelzetta4527]

Excellent Video! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you tried - Mahorrla Defence Wisdom Method (google it)? It is a smashing exclusive guide for securing your home from danger minus the hard work. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my buddy at last got cool success with it.

[@militustoica]

I hooked up a comprehensive alarm system that allows me to monitor camera and window/door sensors after being the victim of a car burglary. Car property theft is one thing, but if someone is in my house and doesnt retreat immediately upon seeing me and hearing the alarm blaring. I think it’s safe to assume they are ready to seriously harm, rape, or kill any member of my household.

[@MarcLL]

that burgler was Albert Einstein

[@michaelwier1222]

I've always advocated be the bad guy, think like the bad guy! If I were to break into my house how would I do it? The view from above really helps in getting an over all (pardon the pun) perspective. Thanks for the video.

[@kayesway1]

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. Excellent production, easy to listen to, clear and to the point without a lot of useless chatter.

[@MrBikboi]

Awesome been saying for a long time that drones can be invaluable, being able to get intelligence while sitting safely inside your home is such an asset. Especially the birds eye view you can achieve safely.

[@MarcLL]

hahahaha imagine sitting inside a quiet suburban house using a fucking drone for security what the fuck

[@nathankeel4308]

You can pay companies or DIY to have all house windows covered with tinted film. Can see out, but can't see in.

Tinting isn't in/out directional, it's brightside/darkside directional.

[@clivenewton7609]

[@stuartmarkman769]

Where I live there are a lot of trees and heavy shrubs behind my home , but it is too thick for a person to move through and I keep it that way. I also have black out drapes on all my windows.. We don't open the windows ever so the drapes are closed all the time. There are other things that make it easy for us too tell if there are people on the property that I won't go into.

[@elaine212kitten]

Thank you for this video I wanted to see this done this way. Most talk about it but not always show

[@RaphaeLoh01]

Those are really nice homes!

[@AsymmetricalPreparedness]

Security is a tough topic to discuss within rule of law. There are a ton of measures I would put in place that cannot be placed prior to WROL/SHTF. The house shown would be almost impossible to properly secure, too many point of ingress, and too much cover close.

[@paladin11C40]

Plant bushes with thorns under each window (rose, blackberry, raspberry, these will keep people from trying to enter through the window. Those hedges in the backyard are too much of a an opportunity for concealment, throw in some blackberry's there also. I have solar motion activated lights around my house and in the backyard. These do two things, they take away the dark as an advantage for intruders, and they can light up the way the intruder ran because only those lights activated will be on. You can also install alarms on the gates, when the gate is opened a loud noise will come from the gate that was opened. Window alarms will work on gates as well, amazon is full of these devices. They can also be used in blind spots as an area denial device. Good luck.

[@catsincredulous9998]

I live where bears are, so berry bushes would just bring them closer to the house lol I got a few berry bushes, but out away from the house. :D

[@Celtics-fj5le]

That is some stupid shit

[@BulletSpoung]

Making sure that everyone in the neighborhood has this homeowners phone numbers and have it so this homeowner can open, close and lock the neighborhood gates at anytime. A quality camera system would make it very tuff for anyone to get near the home. On better systems you can set up alarm zones on every camera that will sound an alarm inside the home then send photos and video to the homeowners phone, mine work at over 800ft. You can also have some camera systems take still photos along with video. This is nice for sending up to date info on intruders to the police. They now have microwave based motion detectors that only pick-up humans and can be hidden inside walls, doors and ceilings completely out of sight. A much needed video thanks for the hard work.

[@Dean1985]

Nice work 👍

[@lakecrab]

I planting mule lemon tree shrubs...major thorns. I have a Harbor Freight (CHEAP affordable by anyone) wireless driveway alarm with IR sensor (400 ft range) near my car and my electrical panelboard. Any sustained ringtone from those, 40 comes out.

How about installing a solar powered motion activated light-source directed on the outside main breaker box.

[@thomasc.1283]

Can anyone share your ideas on how to protect your outdoor electrical box? I have the same “weakness” and I’m trying to find a solution…

[@thegoldenboy294]

Enclose windows with metal cages like they do in latin america, its the most protective thing you can do to prevent people from breaking in your house. Trust me.

[@clivenewton7609]

It also traps you like a rat in a trap if you need to evacuate pronto. Trust me.😂

[@MrBikboi]

It’s crazy the things I think would be common sense, to me anyways people don’t think about. I have a neighbour next door that doesn’t even have blinds at the front of her house, at night you can directly see everything inside, (no I’m not a peeping Tom). For myself anyways it makes me less of a target as I always keep my blinds closed at night and during the day if I’m not in the room or if I leave the house they’re shut. In theory anyways, the amount of intel someone could get by scoping out the joint at my place should be minimal without living like a paranoid shut in.

[@rangereview4590]

I know this is a old comment but think vertically too most of my neighborhood is 1 story I live in one of the only multi story homes in the neighborhood (also higher elevation slightly) there are a lot of undefendable lines from my upper windows into their property.check for opportunities for undesirables to have the high ground.(i.e your upper windows might need blinds too.)

[@rickyramirez3483]

Great vid! It reminds me Basic Training back in Ft Knox, KY...digging fox holes and establishing a perimeter. Then my ROTC yrs...avenues of approach!...in this case I would recommend a pair of german shepherds outside and a shotgun or AR inside...and two more guns...a S&W 686, 4” 7 shot and a Glock 17, Gen 5, MOS!

[@gsp49]

Hang a rebel flag in the window, that is one of the best deterrents.

[@tritchie6272]

That back yard might be a good place for a couple of guard dogs. Then the intruder would be more likely to feel the need to use the front if he/she wants to intrude.

[@XxlilqhostxX]

This Guy Is Totally A House Robber 😂😂😂😂😂

[@normal_norm2627]

You don't need a drone, just type your address in google maps.

[@carlospaed8760]

put additional window grills on your house basically so u wont add thinking intruder coming easily unto your house

[@royparker7856]

You can make a home such as those shown more secure from break ins but, defend it from a determined attacker(s), not a chance.

All worried about the breaker and there's the meter right next to it ... Hahaha , better find something else to worry about !

[@bellysedc9592]

Placing the main breaker of the home outside the house is a terrible idea

[@ImaOkie]

Oh really... Your true main breaker is your electric meter , any idea how easy it is to remove , the main is outside always to allow emergency workers to shut off the power in an " emergency "

Kinda screwy, I am. I salvaged some truck mirrors. And set them up to be seen from inside.( Low tec no power needed) "Preemptive is the word." Also remove your trash. Burn or bury it. I even had a pincushion, walk up and ask if I happen to have some Russian tea. And maby some of those French cookies. . The Hun tends to catalog your waste to know what you have" inventory." my unused windows get a mix of soap to fog windows. And you" bet" my dog went bonkers. I went to see. I found my selfe in hospital for four days and Jimmy marks. On my door. My answer is to get a CCW and pistol. And sensors. There cheep at about $20:00 . But really the CCW helps a lot.
