Hey what are those new military box/sandbag that they use in iraq and afghanistan called?

[stayingawake20]

@travisg336 I don't know Brother.....

One question regarding boarding up windows w/plywood...God forbid, but what would you do in the event of a fire to your house, or one that surrounds it and while upstairs sleeping, can't get out through any downstairs windows/doors? This is the one thing that prevents me from going through w/boarding up my own windows...

[stayingawake20]

@TheNorthWestPrepper Like you said, God forbid. If I have to put those things up, we are in deep doo doo! However, your door fortification is never permanently affixed giving you access out, and that's one of the reasons. I have 3 doors to the outside. You can buy a very tough film that will withstand a sledge hammer break and will give you the same piece of mind, but it will be expensive... 

[TheNorthWestPrepper]

@stayingawake20 - Thanks for reference to that 'film', i'll have to try and find it @ one of my local stores! 3 doors to the outside? i'm assuming you're referring to the front door (1), sliding back door (2) and maybe a standard door in your garage? (3)...

[stayingawake20]

@TheNorthWestPrepper Correct on the doors. Check out on line a company called Shattersafe. Best prices I can find on the window film

[Acehardrive5]

@TheNorthWestPrepper The way I have thought to do it is to have 1/4" L-brackets and 1/4" bolts that go into holes drilled in to the wall. 6-8 bolts per window is probably enough.

That way you could easily remove them from the inside of the house.

@stayingawake20

They are called Hesco Barriers they can be 2x2, 4x4,6x6 or larger cubes that are linked together and then set up and filled with sand. I have actually thought about using them or a home made version as an exterior wall coated with stucco or cement.

[sassycatw]

Dude I have the same window idea. I predrilled holes in the so my screws will go in fast.  I also cut slants in the middle so I can see out. Cut small slants so u can see out

[WPNSCO31]

@travisg336 yeah...eight months late....but "hesco"

[WRockW10]

Whyyyyyyyyyyyy????????????????­?????????

[prancingdog]

@travisg336: I've thought about it, but unfortunately my compound and bunker (separate locations) are not completed yet. There simply are too many OPSEC reasons I can't go into right now, but I plan on eventually doing some ideos on my prepping once I get enough of it done.

I was just trying to help by letting people know what those barriers are. I would also suggest you look up "ferrocement" techniques, as they are cheap, and effective compliments to security measures.

God bless.

[travisg336]

@prancingdog You should make a video of you construction a hesco. I think it would do so good.

[r6v2man]

The military uses a HESCO barrier. Travisg336 describes them perfectly

[prancingdog]

@travisg336 They are called Gabions. You can easily make them out of hog wire ( as I have done at my "bunker"), and any fabric to help hold the material you put in it. I use hog wire, with chicken wire, and nylon sheets (bed sheets are cheaper, but degrade faster), and then I add stone&sand inside. My Gabions are smaller, and easier to move with a hand cart, and then I put a light coating of shotcrete to finish it off. It stops all rifle calibers, no problem. Sand and rocks are best & FREE!

Hello Sir, Thank you so much for all of this information, I have subscribed and will look forward to more videos from you, I have been slowly building a stockpile, I am in NJ and live in a troubled town already. My house is on a very busy intersection at the cornor and i have 7 doors and 20 windows to the outside. when the SHTF im in deep doo doo, in the last year I have acquired 2 more attack dogs. gun laws in NJ are very strict so I may be fighting with a baseball bat!!
