In my humble opinion fishing line is not the best choice for trip wire. Too elastic. Standard military trip wire is metal string. Like your vids. Cheers
@Moscowprepper Roger that, it may be. I honestly haven't tried it out BUT crypticCRICKET, whom I copied this idea from, says his work great. The pins in them are not extremely secure, like a grenade, so they come out rather easy. Maybe some really thin spider wire would work better, no stretch and very strong for diameter. Thanks!
@NeoPrepper just get some cheap Dyneema on Ebay, it's insanely thin and non stretch if you're considering it, you can buy 100 yards for cents if you're lucky and it comes in multiple colors, green, dark green, yellow, browns, black, everything.
you can also use beading wire for tripwire alarms and traps alike, cheaper and much more available than military tripwire, also comes in a multitude of colors.
@TheOneProkillen Thanks! I need some more ideas! lol... I'll have another one soon on a watering system for the container garden. Hopefully it'll work as envisioned!
I s'pose you could cut a 2-liter pop bottle in half and settle the top/pour spigot over a stake, tie the slarm to the stake, make sure there's space for the trip wire...tada, instant weather-proofing! And hey, if you used a Sprite or a 7Up bottle, might even blend in a little better with the grass. Yes, no, maybe?
@AnnBearForFreedom Yeah, that might work, a little "urban camo" for them, lol. Cricket says his were out in the weather for 3 months and still work great. Probably won't worry about weather proofing them.
Hi NeoPrepper! Thanks for the mention! Good video! Gettin the word out!
My GE personal keychain trip wire alarms have actually been outside in the weather for about 3 months now. They've been rained on several times. I've accidentally tripped them probably ten times since I put them out. They're good as the day I bought em. They really are a solid solution for a perimeter alarm. Again thanks for the mention! Have a great day sir!
@CrypticCRICKET No Problem! Thank you for the idea. Good to know that they hold up that well in the weather and you look like you're closer to the water than I am so even with some salt air it's holding up. Very cool.
i made 20 of them and my house is now safe
