Whether you want to secure the perimeter of your home, your bug out location or a camp site, this DIY tripwire alarm (if placed correctly) will surely disclose any stealthy intruder.
When setting up home defenses you should always keep in mind a few military principles. For example OCOKA is a military procedure used for setting up perimeter defenses and stands for:
- Observation and fields of fire
- Cover and Concealment
- Obstacles
- Key Terrain
- Avenues of Approach
When choosing the place for the alarm you have to take into consideration all 5 principles of OCOKA.
Because one man cannot guard 24/7 a 360 degree perimeter, a tripwire alarm can be your invisible comrade guarding your back.
And it’s all very simple because all you need is a personal key-chain alarm ($4.5 – but probably you can find it even cheaper) and a fishing wire. And 10 minutes max. This is one of the things that I’ve learned from a well-known army officer vet Steve Walker, for whom I have all the respect in the world. Watch his guide and learn other efficient and unconventional fast-tips about protecting your family in time of war or social chaos.

The Market – Reach Distrubtion choices just that – an option. The defence pre fans criticized though not perfect however,
not weak. It reads just like a business plan regarding the book proposed.

The item was simple and easy to find worked well. But if you want to get something to really not only warn you but scare the hell out of a intruder, at most gun shows there will be someone there selling trip flare’s they are cheap usually around 3-6 $ Not only are they easy to use but they light up a large area at night and the explosion ( non-lethal) will definitely get their attention.
don’t toss the crazy audio cards you receive. It is usually quiet around a campsite so the sound of one of the cards will be quite noticeable. they are small enough to be fastened with tape and easily activated with a trip wire. They can also be ridged to sound off when placed under an object that could be stolen. Best part. I get a few every holiday so free is a good price.
Grampa
Grampa,
What are “audio cards”?
Thanks!
They are the cards that play music or say things when the card is opened.
I put these on the inside of my doors. They worked great if someone is trying to come through you door. Inside a closed area they are a bit louder.
Where’s the friggin tutorial?
I assume these are not weather proof, has anyone came up with a good weatherproof enclosure?
Nifty idea, but what about animals tripping the wire?
My thoughts exactly. We have a lot of deer coming onto the property every day/night. I bought a driveway alarm several years ago but had to take it down due to all the deer false alarms. Is their a fix for this problem. And no, I don’t want to scare them off, as they may become our food if this lasts too long.
Similar to the tripwire device shown. The 125 db screamer being advertised recently that the Police recommend is an alternative and sometimes a freebee.
video has been taken down , F.B. ? YOU TUBE ? GOOGLE ?
That’s the whole problem with electronic media. It has a tendency to disappear. Ink on paper has lasted centuries.
