Thanks so much for sharing, I'm going to look into a couple of those trip flares for my location. Trap building is a good skill to have for prepping. You never know when you may need to use it. Take care and stay safe man.
Sunbeam LED Automatic Closet Light with an IR LED replacing the visible spectrum LED might be a cheaper alternative to the IR chem lights. (And the LED could be used more than once.)
On you alarm lever, use monofilimant and bunch up a small amount and insert in the lever hole. This will allow the alarm to activate and also not break the lever off. The line just gets pulled free.
man this guy is good i wouldnt mess with him he already got an under ground shelter and stuff he got his own little combat station trip wires and everything this guy is cooooool
use trip line up a tree attached to a tin can with the lid not completely cut off. a few rocks in can, then wrap the trip over a branch as a catch to swing from, then place the can on another branch to be pulled off by a passer-by - making the can fall and the rocks to bang around. alerts you and the low, fast noise may not clue any other thugs in the group that the alert occured til its too late for them.
harbor freight has great units to start with. use fridge magnets to make the sensor break away. use a cheap shaker flashlights guts to make it rechargable on site.
would silent alarms, such as radio pressure plates not be a better method, as these would allow you to know there are invaders without tipping them of that they have been detected, thus giving you the element of surprise
also could those glowstick devices be tweeked to break a container of glow in the dark paint in such a way as to cover any invaders, rendering their camoflage as useless, just a couple of thoughts
@glduncan68 When we really need these the local deer herd will be wiped out by local people looking for food so less chance of them setting them off when they are really needed.
If you put a knotch in the plastic where the bottom screw, when the trip wire pulls the magnet away, it'll just pop off without completely breaking it.
@SouthernPrepper1 As for a break away device, it would seem to me that a sip away device that would slide off the top of the lever would be very practicle, sch as maybe a simple soda straw. Just sayen, I'm all about simple;)
Also, camera phones and camcorders will see IR in the viewfinder/ screen... Dont believe me? turn on your camera and look at the busines end of a remote contol while you push a button...
I personally like rat traps for chem lights, just need to trim the trigger plate down, fix the chem light to the trap and string the wire across the trail. cheaper then buying the chem light strikers.
with the audio trap, I would put the speaker lower to the ground or in the leaf litter and bring the wire up, then it's never seen and it's harder for them to find.
maybe you could attach a paper clip to the wire and attach that to the devise so it will have enough integrity to move the devise and bend right off with too much force you wont have to keep replacing screws.
Hey SP1 ive gotta a solution. Tie a 2lb 6-8 inch piece of mono fishing line.This should activate and then break loose protecting the device.Just a thought.
Oh and on the trip wires it may be a good idea to put them at knee or waist high so critters don't trigger them. i have a story about claymor's and a bunch of rabbits that you would laff your a** off. we thought we were going to get hit on all sides by a full company at O'Dawn 30 . was'nt funny at the time but you know what happens when you look back
or if you caught some people who had killed a person for thier food or belongings and you captured them would you hold a trial and hang them or would you just hang them.? My real Question is do we lose part of who we are in a WROL
P.S. We decided not to join the group their views on after WROL were a bit to radical for us. and the leader of the group does'nt like to share power he was in carrge of everything and the females were almost second class people and the females all wore dresses no pants allowed. Another though in a WROL time line would you break the current laws to survive and how far would you take that. For excample if some one say broke thier leg and you had no pain killers would you seek out or grow pot ?
Hello SP1 I have been watching you for a while and find the information helpfull. But one thing no one seem to talk about is communalaty of ammo my wife and i have 6 types of ammo my prepper mate has the same 6 types of ammo plus 1. we were invited to come check out a prepper group here in central OK and they did most of the thinking on prepping missed a few things like a cat. But they had 11 different types of pistol ammo and 14 different types of long gun ammo. can you do a vidio on this. thx
hrm this is very interesting and informative... strategically setting them up would probably pose a problem for me. i.e. putting them up in good places while still in sight/hearing range
My problem is we have a lot of bears and deer in my area. So that would be a bad problem because it would constantly trigger.... Ohh well.. At least you would know a bear is coming.. lol
@AtheistPatriot1 That is actually rather easy. You just attach the body of the flashbang to the tree, and tie the trip wire to the pin. Make sure you do not tie down the lever. This works for frag grandes as well, asuming the situation calls for a lethal responce.
I really like the chem light trip wire. Would you be able to adjust the sound coming out if the first device? Because if you have several devices in the area it will be hard to know which one went off? Perhaps Enigneer775 knows? (I am thinking about tweeking with the elektronics...) Thanks. -Nax
Great tip! As with all your videos, I try to adapt the ideas and principles to my residential home defence. I'll use this on the front and back porches. I need to remember to place it higher than small to medium sized cats and dogs. Always good stuff!
@southernprepper1 so can I say use an I hook, and screw it into the tree then run my tripwire up the tree and have the chem light way high up so the enemy even with nods on might not see it and even if he sees it cannot do anything, or was that the idea in the first place?
Something Cool to know, your cellphone camera can pick up IR. It will seem like a normal light. So if you want to test out your IR devices or traps, just pull out your cellphone and you will be able to see it. Also a good way to see if your remote batteries are still working.
@FIyingPengwin I didn't know that. Actually, I just recently found these color features from cell phone camera. Btw, does it only see source of the IR light or is it possible to use IR light for illumination? I don't have such yet, so I can't test...
@FIyingPengwin I just got an IR led module for my flashlight. I am not sure if it works properly yet. Illumination sort of works for my Nokia and my wifes Samsung, but range is very poor, like 2 feet in dark room. It can see directly pointed light very well, but illumination not too well. Have to see if I will buy some real night vision equipment some day.
I"ve found the best trip-cord alarms are generally use "interupted circuits" instead of mechanical switches, etc. The wire yanks out a nonconductive pin and the circuit closes and sounds the alarm. As far as animals, I mount the wire at the level where the regions predators will trip it. Humans, about 4 feet (so animals can't trip it). I love the IR LED idea! I'm going to work on that. If they don't know they have alerted you, you still have the element of surprise on YOUR side. Great video.
ok folks the devices David showed you are not meant to be booby traps...just perimeter security device's and early warning systems.....great vid Dave ..thanks for sharing-MoJo
I prefer to have an alarm or light inside my retreat and just string wire out to the perimeter, so my team and I are only one that know it’s been tripped. LED lights on a map of your retreat are helpful for loc the breach and lessen concerns about the battery powered alarms being weather proof. They can still be useful if you later employ cameras and they can be used in conjunction with other remote activated lethal or non-lethal anti-pers devices (as the law allows).
@southernprepper1 You need a silent alarm system, because what will happen is that they will immediatley smash that thing and unless you hear it right away it will be no good, that way you still retain the element of surprise...
@Fadsmashers The sound has psychological effect on someone who is already nervous and trying to be stealthy and get into your perimeter especially at night when sound travels. It would definitely screw you up if you were the bad guy. All tactics go out the window when the trap is sprung, then they panic. When I was in the Army the OPFOR at JRTC hated me because of the variety of issued and homemade non lethal traps I’d put out during training. Perimeter defense was my baby!
look at the womans alarm thingy that goes on the keys that thing is loud and it works well if you use it the same way.. you can also get laser dectors that set an alarm off if you go over a fence ect..
great vid man also have you seen the tripwire set ups that use a 12 blank to alert you of intruders if not you may want to look into getting one because i think if you seen one up close eaither yourself or enganieer could make your own maybe even adapt it to use other ammo like maybe a 12 ga ubber buckshot or oc/pepper balls or worst in a tru shtf/wrol role here is a link to 1 type of it there is other versions out there defensedevices(dot)com/shotgun-alarm-signal1(dot)html
they sell also some "purse alarm" at the dollar store, the kind with a pin attached to a lanyard. I like them better, just add an eyeloop on the other side of the pin and it can be mounted inline using paracord or something. they also avec a small led inside with push button, can be used to set it up in the dark and then check if it's activated with making it ring.
Loved the video. For the audible alarm have a small spring on the arm that pulls away to set off the alarm. Keep the arm in place with a small cooter key that is pulled out when the trip wire attached is tripped by the intruder. That way the arm is not broken by the trip wire.
I currently use driveway alerts on my parameter but wanted to add trip wire. Do you have a supplier that you could recommend to purchase the chemlight trips?
Then again in a WROL scenerio I don't know how concerned you'd be in the temporary part... You could always just use a frag grenade or improvised claymore to be on the safe side.
Great video, I've been looking around for different ideas myself. I was thinking of something that would make noise/light like a flashbang but stay lit longer. That way it would alert the camp exactly where the threat was even without anyone on sentry as well as temporarily incapacitate. As always though, something is better than nothing.
This would seperate the pros from the joes or bubbas as it were. Anybody with a little military training would stay off the trails. But of course a 11B knows this. Great vid again.
@froggergoat I like trip flares, But they have a risk if you are refering to ones that ignite and launch into the sky. They have the potential to hurt people or start a fire. But they are just another combat multiplier to my retreat defense.
@boulevardtalonman "I have actually been planning on using driveway alarms for the same purpose" More expensive, but they have the advantage that the intruder does not know they have been detected, yet you know the alarm's location. I have one in my toolshed, between the door and the tools most likely to be stolen.
@theeastwatch This is a problem, I would place them inside my fencing so animals usually dont get thru my fencing so alittle better. But yes you have to take this into account and work around it. In a wrol situation if you have a dead space between two fences this would be ideal.
@southernprepper1 You should do a vid on SHTF fencing... as in, how to erect fencing when you can't simply go to the hardware store and pick up a few hundred feet of chain link.
@gearboy12550 That might help, I've still lost chickens tryin that trick... also, if you got a lot of sensors coverin a lot of area thats A LOT of coffee!!! :)
Mouse trap! Put a couple pads so the chemlite isn't fully cut in half. Put it high in the tree with
"I hook" to redirect the angle of motion/energy from trip wire.
Mouse Trap! Make elecrtical contacts for mechanism desired.
Red LED! Night Vision can be inhanced.
Put Noise Alarms high enough so a person has to climb to de-activate.
Noise Detectors, Motion Sensers!

Brother I have made the same exact alarm, I used a magnet to keep the secondary piece in place. It does break away without damaging the alarm.

they sell also some "purse alarm" at the dollar store, the kind with a pin attached to a lanyard. I like them better, just add an eyeloop on the other side of the pin and it can be mounted inline using paracord or something. they also avec a small led inside with push button, can be used to set it up in the dark and then check if it's activated with making it ring.

Loved the video. For the audible alarm have a small spring on the arm that pulls away to set off the alarm. Keep the arm in place with a small cooter key that is pulled out when the trip wire attached is tripped by the intruder. That way the arm is not broken by the trip wire.

@Meandog299 Think I will leave my cooter key in my pants !! ha ha ha !!!

I currently use driveway alerts on my parameter but wanted to add trip wire. Do you have a supplier that you could recommend to purchase the chemlight trips?

Have you ever tried fishing line? I think there are some types of fishing line that are harder to see.

Mount the unit horizontal so arm will swing out with less tension on it.

Then again in a WROL scenerio I don't know how concerned you'd be in the temporary part... You could always just use a frag grenade or improvised claymore to be on the safe side.

Great video, I've been looking around for different ideas myself. I was thinking of something that would make noise/light like a flashbang but stay lit longer. That way it would alert the camp exactly where the threat was even without anyone on sentry as well as temporarily incapacitate. As always though, something is better than nothing.

Connect that sucker to about 50lbs of explosive located strategically underneath the wire.

This would seperate the pros from the joes or bubbas as it were. Anybody with a little military training would stay off the trails. But of course a 11B knows this. Great vid again.

ir chem light's,i would never have thought of it.What's you take on trip flares?
froggergoat 1 year ago
@froggergoat I like trip flares, But they have a risk if you are refering to ones that ignite and launch into the sky. They have the potential to hurt people or start a fire. But they are just another combat multiplier to my retreat defense.

I have actually been planning on using driveway alarms for the same purpose
boulevardtalonman 1 year ago
This has been flagged as spam show
@boulevardtalonman "I have actually been planning on using driveway alarms for the same purpose" More expensive, but they have the advantage that the intruder does not know they have been detected, yet you know the alarm's location. I have one in my toolshed, between the door and the tools most likely to be stolen.

how high do you mount your trip wires?
boulevardtalonman 1 year ago
@boulevardtalonman I really dont know the military answer but I place them 7-9 inches high or there about.
southernprepper1 1 year ago
@boulevardtalonman
7-9 inches, thanks it looks like a winner to me, especally for the price

How do you keep animals from constantly tripping your sensors?

theeastwatch 1 year ago
@theeastwatch This is a problem, I would place them inside my fencing so animals usually dont get thru my fencing so alittle better. But yes you have to take this into account and work around it. In a wrol situation if you have a dead space between two fences this would be ideal.
southernprepper1 1 year ago
@southernprepper1 You should do a vid on SHTF fencing... as in, how to erect fencing when you can't simply go to the hardware store and pick up a few hundred feet of chain link.
