An unusual security suggestion is to install bird feeders around your perimeter and becoming accustomed to their normal behavior. They will alert by becoming silent, unusual calls, or taking flight. Much more subtle alarms than dogs, and likely to be less noticed..
That is great for the fence line - next get ducks and geese and keep them near the dogs... Wild birds wake the ducks and geese who alerts the dogs... No one can beat that - no batt needed...
Blue Jays especially have very distinct warning cries. They even have specific ones for things like snakes. They are territorial and active. Great watchers of the area.
It's funny to go back and watch this one and compare it to today. Only been a few years but just the tech difference in that time, let alone the scope of the world itself. Keep up the great work, your work has reached many
5 Tips to Secure Your Isolated Homestead; 1. Install a lockable driveway gate. Keep it closed whether you're home or gone. 2. Have all your property fenced in with field fence and barbed wire. 3. Own two dogs that are trained to work together, (Viking Preparedness recommends Anatolian Shepherds for their strength, agility and viciousness toward strangers). 4. Get driveway sensors and motion sensors outside the house. Also if you can afford it, buy a good quality set of security cameras with a recordable D.V.R. and display monitors. 5. Have a scoped 30 caliber rifle, (or larger), that you are trained on just in case you need to reach out and touch someone who means to do you or your family harm.
Instead of a Bolt .30 caliber, I'd go with an FN FAL or M1A in .308/7.62x51NATO. More firepower and you could resupply ammo off of UN or American troops if necessary too. I'd also maintain 2 or 3 AR15's or AK47/74's. I actually already have all of that plus, plus.plus, plus ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
@TrustkillProductionz There is a better way to field that 1,000 yard trespasser - it's a two intercom... State your business or retreat! Now you know- one warning shot from a shielded view... Change location- if they still cone kill
Hey, Pastor Joe... how about planting wild blackberry bushes all along the barbed fencing on purpose... That would = extra fencing and some food! (Just a thought) Thanks for keeping the wheels greased. Your vids are the best.
That would also provide concealment for bad guys. There's always trade offs to consider... This is like a fun strategy game. Except if you lose it. Then... probably not so much fun. Lol.
Better yet Agave Cactus. They probigate like crazy and grow without any maintenance, totally exist off what nature supplies them. And grow in any well drained soil in full sun or shade.
Great advice on keeping the gate closed at all times. I have a heavy,formidable gate that I had fallen into the habit of leaving open when I was home and closing while away. I just started keeping it closed at all times because one of my dogs went out the gate and tried to introduce the mailman to her teeth. I had never considered it being a telegraph to the bad guys about wether I was home or not.
Hi, thanks for sharing. I will be living alone out in the Ozarks not by choice as I am a widow. I am in the process of fixing to purchase land and set myself up off grid so these tips help so much. thanks again and Brightest Blessings to you and yours..
I live in a small town of 12000 and have lived here all my life. We all know each other some you know by name some you don't, but you have seen them around for years. You know who belongs and who don't. This is the power of a small town. And if anything happens the word gets out fast. It's strange but we all all connected. The power a small town has is unbelievable. I guess I have a good 10000 people standing with me if the shit hits the fan.
not bad i would suggest traps around the perimeter and a wall that is double thick with rebar. also double thick rebar house with heavy duty doors and steal shutters.
Hello Pastor Fox, appreciate your vids & talking points. We had 2 bad situations go down. It wasn't the guns, the sensors, or the alarm with armed guard response. It was the Schutzhund Dogs that saved my wife and kids twice. In a matter of seconds. When it comes Training & Breeding, the Germans have it down to a Science of Excellence. Americans Breed for the Dollar.
Well, depending on what threats your surrounding provides. When most dogs territory is violated by some sort of intruder they will show their most fierce side. I had "only" a Labrador Retriever while living in a rougher inner city. And one day when I was rebuilding my fence and it was unsecured I got really worried when one of the other neighbor's mean German Sheppard was on the loose in the ally. However, to my surprise when the Shepard poked his head around the fence opening, my Lab raised his back hair and showed his teeth, barked fiercely and charged the German Shepherd, chasing it until he jumped back over the 6 foot fence in to his own back yard. As long as I lived there with my dog, no one ever broke in to my house. Some of my neighbors without dogs where not as fortunate. So, even having a dog of a friendlier breed can be great protection/alarm. Labs have also been know to save drowning kids out of pools, rivers and the ocean, as well as finding them if they just were to get lost in the woods. Then you can also use a Lab when hunting.
Excellent ideas. A friend of mine is into making things. In a couple of trees in his front yard he has what he calls "Pigeon-cam". They are plastic Pigeon decoys used for shooting and pest elimination, however, he has modified them so the heads move remotely, with fitted CCTV camera in the eyes. No one takes any notice of Pigeon's in trees. He also has "Hedgehog" cam in a Plastic Hedgehog Garden ornament and the eyes face upwards so he can get a ground level to 10 ft high view of anyone at his gate, it is mixed in with his other garden ornaments. He has total CCTV coverage without a normal CCTV camera being seen and also obviously standing out as they are all hidden discreetly in Pigeon's, Hedgehog, Gate posts, Bird nesting boxes hung on the tree trunks in his backyard.
In regards to the dogs. We have one Anatolian Shepard and one Great Pyrenees. I cannot speak highly enough about them. They bonded with my goats immediately, especially any newborns and dispatch "invaders" without hesitation. I do pet and handle them so general healthcare/inspection is easier. Good vid PJF!
Love your videos . I'm x mailitary special forces 0317 force recon Marine scout sniper / combat scuba etc. I'm moving off grid this fall on 80 ac putting a prefab cabin way back in the woods were my neighbor is a Bigfoot . Solar panels and water well etc . Like your videos you have lots of good information .
Geese and/or Pea Cocks/Hens make excellent alarm systems. Peacocks make a super loud, piercing scream. Geese honk very loudly, they are mean and they will attack. They don't eat a lot either, comparatively speaking. If you had the Anatolians and those birds, no one would get to your house unannounced nor likely in one piece.
About the dogs, you would need to breed them. If the world/ country goes so wrong that you need them, you will need more generations of dogs. Say your dogs are 7 when the world goes bonkers {more so than it is now}. Those dogs only live 12-15 years. You have to account for injury, old age, genetic defect etc. You'll have to make sure your 2 dogs can breed.
Renaissance MarineTV I'd be afraid they'd machine gun the deer stand/elevated tower and where could you go? I realize it gives you a better field of fire but remember they'll probably being shooting back. I might send one or two rounds downrange from there but then I'd jump out and run like hell.
I am also a student of Mel Tappen, and James Wesley Rawles. Dakota Alert Sensors (Amazon) with a an external antenna can have a range of 1 to 5 miles instead of less than 1 mile with the antenna it comes with. Recommend an antenna from N9TAX, 25 bucks. Use in pairs to determine direction of travel, speed, and number. The sensor transmits a digital recorded voice message to anyone with a hand held radio or scanner that can receive MURS frequencies that are between 151 to 155Mhz. 600 yards is possible for most with a decent scope. External turret adjustments make a rifle perform to it's potential. Mil dot or MOA recitals make range estimation possible. Redfield brand makes good inexpensive scopes.
Anatolians are awesome! Great Pyrenees also exceptional LGD/natural protective dogs. A lot of breeders are cross breeding the two now. Great Pyrenees are more accepting of people who they're introduced to by the owners and not as aggressive but I think the mix breed of the two is a real good balance. I have started researching Kengals too which I've heard a lot of good things about but never worked with them myself. I have a Pyrenees and her size alone is a good deterrent which cracks me up bc she is a big baby albeit a big protective one which is good for a single gal.
A glow stick, fishing line and mouse trap can alert you to intruders in the brush. Especially at night. Small cowbells also tied into bushes is helpful.
You can even put baby phones in a bird house on the way or on your property. One might put small solar panels on em so they work self sufficant. The problems with the cameras in your house+smartphone is that if you can see things, others can too.
I have (4) German Shepherds. They do not mess with my chickens, and they are good with all of our livestock animals. I have had them for 3 years out here. I have not had many predator problems...They seem to sleep in the day, and guard at night.
In the midwest, plant a hedge row around your property (osage orange for instance), and then all access is limited to the driveway/gate, and then you have the upper hand. Its easy enough to do, and fits right in to the other old hedge (osage orange) rows that were planted in the 1800's. NOTHING is getting through that once it is established. Its thorny, thick, and one of the toughest woods known to man. Info online is available but limited, just collect the hedge apples in the fall and put them in a barrel or two over the winter, letting them ferment into a nasty concoction by mid spring, dig a shallow trench, slop the fermented mess in the trench, cover it back up and let it grow. You can weave the tops together between one tree and another the first and second years to help make it more impenetrable, and another advantage to this is it is able to be coppiced, that is you can cut it for firewood and it'll grow right back, keeping your hedge.
I'm currently stuck on Presa Canario for my dog solution. They're big, aggressive, natural stock gaurdians, and just dont do strangers. And despite that aggressiveness, I could call my big girl down off anything. Great breed.
A few ideas: 1. clear fields of fire 2. electric fence solves most fence jumpers 3. field phone between house and outside of gate for those "need help/direction" problems.
I have two rescue dogs. One is part pit and black lab, the other is blue tick and black lab. They are notorious against intruding animals and work together doing it. Its amazing. Any noise out of the ordinary and there on it. My pitlab is a bit friendly to strangers but the other is not. My pitlab has an alarm bark that will scare you to your feet. The other just listens and growls. Great dogs. I just lost one that 14 years old. He was another good one. He actually trained the other two in home security. And he could track a deer in storm. He was amazing. I miss him. Got them all as puppies. Thats the only way. God bless.
I think that Mr. Tappen also said, "All the problems in a small town could be taken care of with one mag of a .45 auto." And "Trust only those who as much to lose as you do when things wrong." Nice vids, keep going. 10 4
Great reference to Mel Tappan, Pastor Joe. A thoughtful articulate man. He was espousing many of today’s commonly held principals of preparedness, 35 years ago. I thoroughly enjoyed reading his material. Thanks for the introduction. Both he and you think physical fitness is critical for preppers, you are both right.
Pyracantha bushes make great natural barriers hedges.They have long tough thorns that will puncture a tire. Once you get a good stand of then they are very hard to penetrate
You need to build Roman fort like walk around battlements around your lodgings ( the places you sleep), not unlike the settlers and soldiers of early america. Inside the fort you also build strong points. Thermal and night vision is also important. Night still represents the biggest threat, physical barriers help prevent infiltration. Other measures, no windows on the ground floor of lodgings and small windows on the second floor, a narrow long main entry to lodgings so attackers have to come singlefile. You also need loopholes in strategic places, concrete door blockers on pallet jacks ready to roll in front of breeched doors. A secure gun tower accessed by tunnel that can police 360 all internal and external perimeters of the homestead is also good idea.
Peacock birds have pretty sensitive senses and respond quickly to strangers within the bird's territory; they will fan-out which can be scene a far away if you're the land owner. Dogs are good but they bark at almost anything. Birdfood is cheaper than dogfood and in less portions, dogs eat a lot so keep that in mind, more dogs=more dog food. Certain types of rock and gravel makes loud enough sounds when it's being walked through, that's the type of rock you want directly around your house, the real crunchy stuff can easily be heard late night/early am. Solar lighting is good if it's placed strategically, at night certain blind areas around your property can be somewhat lit and if a light goes out you know something needs attention. Buy extra batteries whenever you have a chance and just store them along with extra flashlights, boxes of matches too, firewood, a webber BBQ pit, extra bags of coal, a fishing pool. All in all, the first 3 months would be one thing but after a year I'm thinking most survivors will end up crazy and/or insane. We've had it too good in America and to think of it all ending is sad.
Most people in a SHTF scenario would go crazy within 2 weeks of the local grocery store running out of food. And be dead within 3 months of a total collapse of society. If you can survive 6 months after SHTF the danger would be far less than when SHTF started. Prepare now, have at least 1 year of food in storage, can goods, dry goods (rice, beans, noodles, freeze dried goods etc) Ammunition, at least 1000 rounds per rifle, and 2000 per pistol, and 5000-10,000 of 22LR for small game (Squirls, Rabbit, Raccoon, etc) and 1000 rounds of various 12ga for Birds. Install a well for water, and rain barrels for your garden. Solar for lighting, a quality wood stove for heat and cooking. And a male and female large breed dogs for protection. And something many don't remember until it's too late, medical supplies for injury or illness. Start stocking up on topical and oral antibiotics, pain relievers, and minor surgery tools, and bandages and dressings. Peroxide and common alcohol cleaning solutions will last forever unopened.
I have an AMTSAFF for protection. When in a fight they don't back down. They keep coming. My 60 lbs Zoie put a 150 lbs mastiff in it's place, 2 weeks ago. A pit bull is in the AMSTAFF family and will defend to no end.
we board, train & groom dogs in Texas. you make a great dog choice for that kind of setting. in texas, now 100 + deg range a heat tolerant dog is important. our place in a semi suburban area just outside bastrop so still fairly open but also in spawning neighborhood. our solution may sound funny but the chihuahua is a great alarm, heat tolerant as well as eats very little. they sound the alarm and our pit mix, rotty & I take it from there. all dogs are inside dogs. don't forget to put up a years food for your dogs!
If its canned food you're putting up you're good, but dry kibble type will go rancid in a few months or less. BTDT. Dry food does not have a long shelf life and needs to be rotated constantly.
Very thoughtful advice!! Thank you on behalf of our four-legged companions. I used to live in Texas and the amount of dogs chained up outside (you could tell, they were there permanently!) was enraging, and the number of cold-climate dogs I met there was unbelievable. Dogs like Huskies don’t belong in Texas, dangit, and much less chained outside in 100 degrees!
Great advice. I have 2 poms. They are great little security dogs. Right now they're barking at a stranger at my neighbors house. They don't eat much and I will start buying canned dog food as well. Poms also don't have a dog smell. They stay very clean unless they're getting wet all the time. More cuddly when your cold and don't have much heat. But, I miss my Australian Shepherds. Their flock is everything you own as well.
I love the 42 thumbs down. Brings me great joy. Here it is we have a man trying to help people with survival advise for the days to come...I have only seen two videos from him...I think he is spot on, and is a man of God. The 42 people that thumbs down this video will be the first 42 to go when the days come. Always people drinking hateraide everywhere you turn! Good stuff Joe
something like this for apartment living would be good too. I know it's scary to think about but some of us less fortunate folk might get stuck there, and could benefit from your knowledge on just about any of the topics in your videos if you could modify some for apartment life that is
I have a large female mix that is half mastiff. (DNA test) . I've always found a good alpha female to be a bit more active than males. She kinda borders on the hyper vigilant and has been the watch/protection dog I've had. She has some nocturnal tendencies and that's nice too.
I don't have time to review all the comments, but I recommend the chamberlain driveway alarm, it can have 4 sensors for 1 base unit and they have a range of up to 1/2 mile!!! Plus they are not that expensive, and much better than the harbor freight alarms.
Great advise Brother. I say Brother because I see out Eagle Globe and Anchor on your shirt. Five things, good start for the person to get a little secure. I just subscribed after watching this video. The dog advise we use. And have realized there are two distinct uses for dogs for a property. We have little ones, Sulkies, inside. They act as our early alarm system 24-7. They hear footsteps and they bark. Very good at night if you're a sound sleeper. We call them "Watch Dogs". The guard dogs in our case are two breeds (but I plan to get two more as you mention. We have two Rottweiler's, sisters . They roam around in our fenced rural yard, come and go the shop via secret pet door. The sight of them during the day reminds anyone scoping the place "These dogs will eat you alive." Nobody is permitted to friend them ever. We are going to start a goat, rabbit and chicken operation. And the dogs you mention are a very good choice for that adjoining property. Semper FI p.s. we are in the Ozarks as well. Wappapello, north of Poplar Bluff MO.
Thanks for the sub, thanks for your service. BUT - the shirt is from the Marine Corps Marathon which I ran (twice). I am retired Army. My dad was a Marine. Semper Fi!
Also consider how you are going to deal with trespassers, in the here and now. We have had our gate closed and locked at all times. Several times a year we have fence climbers. They claim vehicle troubles, or lost wanting directions, or they are wanting to come on the property to look for fossils, or they may know somebody that is a distant acquaintance of somebody wanting to know about equipment that is here or etc.... People are often stupid and they believe their need for something out weights your property rights. Its also unnerving when someone climbs your gate to determine what degree of force to respond with...... It could be an idiot that's lost, or an attack, or a person as a distraction for a larger group to attack. etc.....
+VikingPreparedness true, dogs are a critical part of security. I had a Cane Corso, a large vicious Roman dog, he died I never replaced him. Now I have a 5 yr old child, I trusted my dog, but seeing the damage a large dog can do in seconds, I'm not sure I want that risk. Maybe the breed you suggest is more stable.
+Dan Cross you raise your kids with that cane puppy and it will probably kill you if you hurt the kiddos lol they are super great with kids if they are raised right.
+Jeff Richards Pressa canario, Kurdish kangal, Caucasian Sheppard, all are superior family oriented guard dogs, but guinea fowl are the best for alerting, as are mules for locating the hidden opposition..
Very good points. Didn't think about the gate always being closed, great idea! Love the drone idea and the two dogs. Do have the 30.06 ready! Need to work on some of the other items... Thanks for all the great suggestions! God Bless!!
For the driveway sensor we have a Dakota Alert infrared and it works great. Had to change the 9v battery at the 9 month mark but we love it. Set it high enough so your dog isn't tripping it.
Always good thank you for this! Being vigilant and being aware are key. Sadly the fuse is burning.. and has been burning... Be prepared and safe always...!~
Thank you! We moved in 3 years ago & we have a locked gate, always. Ex marine realtor mentioned to me " best way to stop crime, lock your gate". We do.
You should write a book called "More Things." I'd buy it and read it. Long time watcher and lurker saying thanks for the interesting and informative videos.
I just want to say I am a dog expert. I have always had Akita, They are a large bear hunter, but now I have husky wolf mix dogs, the wolf mix makes them more vicious for defense but yet still friendly to family
I recently watched one of your videos from about a year ago, saying that you would make a video on a "Long Term" Bug Out Bag. If you've made that video can you or someone else point me to it? If not, I can't wait! sounds like an interesting concept.
great vid great advice, I like the 2 shepard dogs idea and the gate as well, I prefer the weatherby 300 magnum with a zeiss scope for the reach out and touch something, the sks and ar15 for the firefight and the 12 gauge smooth bore to use for bird shot and slugs for deer an small game 22, survival rifle and the 460 magnum for the side arm .)
Having hardened areas or rooms to give cover from incoming fire and the ability to return fire seems like a good idea, most common housing is almost transparent to rifle fire.
Good points. J.W. Rawles was my first read on survival and he recommended Mel Tappan also. I like the .308/ 300 blackout for battle rifle. Makes sense to have the ability to engage targets outside the effective range of common systems.
I have cameras in my home just like that lol love them I can even talk through my phone to the cameras great purchase hat the fence and the gate which only opens when I’m coming and going
Great video to get one thinking, it's kind of sad most preppers think that Rawles is the father of the survivalist/prepper movement and don't look back to the original fathers of survivalism (Tappan, Benson, Ruff, Saxton, Kerney) to get ideas from - many of them are still sound and can be improved with today's technology - drones being one major asset. I was just reading some pdf's of Tappan's PS Survival Notes a few days ago. Since the 70's there's always been the talk of economic collapse, a future race war or martial law just within a 'few years' some things never change.
You can get drones that will launch on command or on a schedule, fly a predetermined route using beacons or GPS, and return to the charging station, all without you having to touch anything but a go button. I'm not sure if they are capable of alert when unknowns are detected but it's just a matter of programming. The software I run my cameras with "learns" what's normal to see and will alert when that changes, especially with motion involved... They are getting really good...
Dogs - we have Great Pyrinese.... Gate - working on that... Fencing... almost complete... Currently drilling well... Ginea hens work for alarms... You will know that someone or something is approaching the property that shouldn't be there... Solar/Wind - power storage is biggest expense, not the panels or the wind turbines.... Try to get a Forktruck battery.. Best bang for the buck... Had cameras before, still do.. all I'm sayong on that... Develop a relationship with local sheriff and deputes... Good to have allies... Drones are great... Lose a cow, much easier and safe to track.. Plus if you hear someone in trouble, you can investigate before walking into a trap. practice frequently with the scoped rifle, have multiple people trained and trained in rapid reload... And so much more... And I think I found my doppleganger... Weird, eh?
I know a guy who installed 3 drone airports, spots to land on his second floor balcony. They stay there and are launchable from there with his controls. He can cover his 40acres in less than 3 minutes.
If you have a large wooded area and things go south fish line and treble hooks work pretty well, one of the cops in our area years ago was trying to bust someone growing weed and lost an eye that way
Thank you for another interesting and informative video. I just subscribed to your channel. You seem like a very knowledgeable person about many things. You and your wife are living my dream, and I am very happy for you both. I am an old woman now, but if I had the land, my goal would be to be completely sustainable ASAP. I am thinking of downsizing, like building a smaller or a tiny house. I helped my husband build this house and large garage with a small efficiency apartment about 30 years ago. This home was great while raising my children, but this 2 story home is too big. My children are all grown, so I guess you could say that I am an empty nester. My husband and I are divorced. Yahushua says in the Scriptures that if a man divorces his wife and marries another he is committing adultery. A woman who's divorced must stay single or reconcile with her husband. She is not supposed to get remarried unless her spouse dies. I don't wish that on anyone. Our divorce was very bitter. It was final in May of 2001. I would like for us to get along, like when he comes over to see our children and grandchildren on birthdays, etc. From what I could see of your property, it's breathtakingly beautiful. I would love to live in the Ozarks. Do you have problems with poisonous snakes where you live? I have always dreamed since I was a child, about growing my own vegetables, having some chickens, goats, cows ( both for milking), etc. I am so sorry I rambled on, but you are a very good teacher who cares about the people who need to be prepping. I really want a pressure canner. Anyway, Keep up the great work you are doing. May Yahuwah berekah you and all of those you love. Sincerely appreciated.
Sounds like a good 5 steps. It reminds me, I was on eBay while back, i saw several deals on security cameras with night vision and they were with antennas so no wires needed to the monitor. I think a 5 camera pack with monitor and recording was 230.00 or so.
Hi Guys. Coming from South Africa this is a joke - not to criticize just comment. Most places in suburbia have have barbed or razor wire large dogs and motion detector lights and alarm systems that when activated call armed guards to your house, who spend nights patrolling areas. The police are not much good - only responding to murder etc. and then only hours later. Extremely violent farm murders are common where whole families are taken out. I live on a farm and it is common to see whole gates on neighboring land just cut off and stolen. Dogs are killed with a poison called One Step, which kills in seconds - hence the name. I just wish i lived in a sane country like the rest of the world.
We have friends from South Africa and they said they had big bushes with 1 inch thick thorns and the guys just wear extra padding so they don't get as torn up going through. So it was a small deterrent but not for someone who really wanted in. He did say though that he taught his dogs only to eat from their dishes which were hard for others to access to prevent poisoning. He had three dogs that would guard at night while he slept. We truly have no idea here about how bad it can really get.
The birds are singing and sound so happy and healthy! I was in town last week, took my dogs to the park. The birds were all thin and didn't sing at all! I was surprised because this park is huge, it's protected and there are deer among the wildlife. I would think the birds there would be happy and healthy, but no. Anyways, your birds sing such a beautiful song!
Excellent advice. What are your views on defensive landscaping? Not battlements or moats, just changing the natural lay of the land to deny intruders "dead ground" etc.
New to your channel. Two recommendations on must read books: 1.) Survival Theory by Jonathan Hollerman 2.) The Survival Group Handbook by Charley Hogwood
Used oil pipe makes for a nice fence. Have a nice Pit Bull she likes me so I like her... Also make sure the dogs do bark and then they make nice alarms. No Barb Wire for us to protect the animals. tjl
A simple NO ENTRY Sign keeps out 95% of People the other 5% it's on Them. Battery Powered items are only good Short Term. Drones are Expensive Shot Gun Targets a Good 12 Gauge Under and Over with Ejectors can be loaded and fired as quickly as a Lever Action Shot Gun! God gave Us Dogs for Our protection and Trespassers to feed Them. Keep Up the good work Pastor Joe Regards Mal White
I own land in Texas. I plan to utilize it for planting trees, crops, and maybe some animal farming. I suspect such fruitful land would be ripe for the picking without adequate protection and so I also want to turn it into an impenetrable fortress of sorts. It's frustrating trying to figure out how to go about this.
Leave the perimeter pretty wild with cats claw and brambles galore. Clean up the inside and unless someone's flying over they'll never know and won't want to venture in too far.
thank you pastor Joe information great, put the spot lights in the field pointing out with sensors set to large objects or man size movement caught neighbors crossing my "land" and stopped them mid stride they feared being shot. "got them on camera but it could have been a gun.
Start running Ethernet cables.. make a spider grid.. run WiFi towers and remote access to all sensor deer cameras.. remote drones and flood lights in 3 lines.. should all be solar..
I recently purchased this Drone for my business. It's Thermal ! Parrot Anafi Thermal. $1900.00 but its quit and thermal, Guineas Birds are good alarms. Anatolian Shepherds, Bernese Mountain Dog is another. They may be a little tamer. I think the Romans bread them when in the Swiss Alps. For Combat. Great show Joe. 3 years Maybe make an update. Thanks. p.s. man traps?
Scoped rifle with silencer oh yeah. High powered pump action air rifle, ammo is very cheap, also high powered catapult deadly and accurate. On your "no trespassing" signs, mention under what law they will be prosecuted, civil tort etc, and how much the fine is, 2000 sheckles and that they enter at their own risk and that property is private. (Use the same statutes as the gov. use) Plant based fences are great and they also double by giving berries and protecting wildlife. Keeping pigeons for meat, they are very low maintenance. However I stopped eating meat, one less thing to worry about and I feel better. Create inner boundaries, this will help with managing livestock and crops ( mostly perrinieal) but also confuse intruders. Old pallets are very useful for quick fix and support creeping plants. Create multiple pathways around your property so that you don't always go the same way. Consider private members association so that when you do anything it's non profit fundraising. Be on good terms with your neighbors. Thanks for your vids sir.
An unusual security suggestion is to install bird feeders around your perimeter and becoming accustomed to their normal behavior. They will alert by becoming silent, unusual calls, or taking flight. Much more subtle alarms than dogs, and likely to be less noticed..

5 Tips to Secure Your Isolated Homestead;
1. Install a lockable driveway gate. Keep it closed whether you're home or gone.
2. Have all your property fenced in with field fence and barbed wire.
3. Own two dogs that are trained to work together, (Viking Preparedness recommends Anatolian Shepherds for their strength, agility and viciousness toward strangers).
4. Get driveway sensors and motion sensors outside the house. Also if you can afford it, buy a good quality set of security cameras with a recordable D.V.R. and display monitors.
5. Have a scoped 30 caliber rifle, (or larger), that you are trained on just in case you need to reach out and touch someone who means to do you or your family harm.
Instead of a Bolt .30 caliber, I'd go with an FN FAL or M1A in .308/7.62x51NATO. More firepower and you could resupply ammo off of UN or American troops if necessary too. I'd also maintain 2 or 3 AR15's or AK47/74's. I actually already have all of that plus, plus.plus, plus ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Dont forget about a robotic mini gun sentry preferably a 30mm gau 8 avenger.
Filas are also a great pedigree watch and family guard dog, doesn't like strangers by nature.
@TrustkillProductionz
There is a better way to field that 1,000 yard trespasser - it's a two intercom... State your business or retreat!
Now you know- one warning shot from a shielded view...
Change location- if they still cone kill
snipers have to hit 1000 yard shots to pass training.
Great info. I've never gotten a good night's rest without "my pack" of dogs with me!
Hey, Pastor Joe... how about planting wild blackberry bushes all along the barbed fencing on purpose... That would = extra fencing and some food! (Just a thought) Thanks for keeping the wheels greased. Your vids are the best.
That would also provide concealment for bad guys. There's always trade offs to consider... This is like a fun strategy game. Except if you lose it. Then... probably not so much fun. Lol.
heirloomseeder yes where ever possible edible thorny plants are great & the bird feeders & other native trees & shrubs that encourage birds.
Use pyracantha or acacia (bigger thorns!)
It's so nice to read thru nice comments of like minded folks speaking kindly to one another 👍
God bless ya'll

Better yet Agave Cactus. They probigate like crazy and grow without any maintenance, totally exist off what nature supplies them. And grow in any well drained soil in full sun or shade.
Great advice on keeping the gate closed at all times. I have a heavy,formidable gate that I had fallen into the habit of leaving open when I was home and closing while away. I just started keeping it closed at all times because one of my dogs went out the gate and tried to introduce the mailman to her teeth. I had never considered it being a telegraph to the bad guys about wether I was home or not.
Hi, thanks for sharing. I will be living alone out in the Ozarks not by choice as I am a widow. I am in the process of fixing to purchase land and set myself up off grid so these tips help so much. thanks again and Brightest Blessings to you and yours..
Great advice. I suggest getting a digger or a few mates to dig a 3 foot deep trench and berm by the fence so nobody can drive through.
Great idea 👍

I live in a small town of 12000 and have lived here all my life. We all know each other some you know by name some you don't, but you have seen them around for years. You know who belongs and who don't. This is the power of a small town. And if anything happens the word gets out fast. It's strange but we all all connected. The power a small town has is unbelievable. I guess I have a good 10000 people standing with me if the shit hits the fan.
not bad i would suggest traps around the perimeter and a wall that is double thick with rebar. also double thick rebar house with heavy duty doors and steal shutters.
Hello Pastor Fox,
appreciate your vids & talking points.
We had 2 bad situations
go down. It wasn't the guns, the sensors, or the alarm with armed guard response. It was the
Schutzhund Dogs that
saved my wife and kids twice. In a matter of seconds.
When it comes Training & Breeding, the Germans have it down to a Science of Excellence.
Americans Breed for the Dollar.
Well, depending on what threats your surrounding provides. When most dogs territory is violated by some sort of intruder they will show their most fierce side. I had "only" a Labrador Retriever while living in a rougher inner city. And one day when I was rebuilding my fence and it was unsecured I got really worried when one of the other neighbor's mean German Sheppard was on the loose in the ally. However, to my surprise when the Shepard poked his head around the fence opening, my Lab raised his back hair and showed his teeth, barked fiercely and charged the German Shepherd, chasing it until he jumped back over the 6 foot fence in to his own back yard. As long as I lived there with my dog, no one ever broke in to my house. Some of my neighbors without dogs where not as fortunate. So, even having a dog of a friendlier breed can be great protection/alarm. Labs have also been know to save drowning kids out of pools, rivers and the ocean, as well as finding them if they just were to get lost in the woods. Then you can also use a Lab when hunting.
Excellent ideas. A friend of mine is into making things. In a couple of trees in his front yard he has what he calls "Pigeon-cam". They are plastic Pigeon decoys used for shooting and pest elimination, however, he has modified them so the heads move remotely, with fitted CCTV camera in the eyes. No one takes any notice of Pigeon's in trees. He also has "Hedgehog" cam in a Plastic Hedgehog Garden ornament and the eyes face upwards so he can get a ground level to 10 ft high view of anyone at his gate, it is mixed in with his other garden ornaments. He has total CCTV coverage without a normal CCTV camera being seen and also obviously standing out as they are all hidden discreetly in Pigeon's, Hedgehog, Gate posts, Bird nesting boxes hung on the tree trunks in his backyard.
In regards to the dogs. We have one Anatolian Shepard and one Great Pyrenees. I cannot speak highly enough about them. They bonded with my goats immediately, especially any newborns and dispatch "invaders" without hesitation. I do pet and handle them so general healthcare/inspection is easier. Good vid PJF!
Love your videos . I'm x mailitary special forces 0317 force recon Marine scout sniper / combat scuba etc. I'm moving off grid this fall on 80 ac putting a prefab cabin way back in the woods were my neighbor is a Bigfoot . Solar panels and water well etc . Like your videos you have lots of good information .
Geese and/or Pea Cocks/Hens make excellent alarm systems. Peacocks make a super loud, piercing scream. Geese honk very loudly, they are mean and they will attack. They don't eat a lot either, comparatively speaking. If you had the Anatolians and those birds, no one would get to your house unannounced nor likely in one piece.

About the dogs, you would need to breed them. If the world/ country goes so wrong that you need them, you will need more generations of dogs. Say your dogs are 7 when the world goes bonkers {more so than it is now}. Those dogs only live 12-15 years. You have to account for injury, old age, genetic defect etc. You'll have to make sure your 2 dogs can breed.
There's a storm brewing Pastor I hear the thunder.
Perfect timing very apropos.
all good stuff. a well placed deer stand or scaffolding tower with good fields of fire aint a bad idea either.
Good to shoot back at too! Not sure I'd want to be in a deer stand/tower.
+RKBA I like having the option. I don't have any High Ground on my property so I've had to create it.
Renaissance MarineTV I'd be afraid they'd machine gun the deer stand/elevated tower and where could you go? I realize it gives you a better field of fire but remember they'll probably being shooting back. I might send one or two rounds downrange from there but then I'd jump out and run like hell.
machine gun? you an i may be fighting in different AOs, brother.
more likely i will just fall out!
I am also a student of Mel Tappen, and James Wesley Rawles. Dakota Alert Sensors (Amazon) with a an external antenna can have a range of 1 to 5 miles instead of less than 1 mile with the antenna it comes with. Recommend an antenna from N9TAX, 25 bucks. Use in pairs to determine direction of travel, speed, and number. The sensor transmits a digital recorded voice message to anyone with a hand held radio or scanner that can receive MURS frequencies that are between 151 to 155Mhz.
600 yards is possible for most with a decent scope. External turret adjustments make a rifle perform to it's potential. Mil dot or MOA recitals make range estimation possible. Redfield brand makes good inexpensive scopes.
Rawles is the man.
Anatolians are awesome! Great Pyrenees also exceptional LGD/natural protective dogs. A lot of breeders are cross breeding the two now. Great Pyrenees are more accepting of people who they're introduced to by the owners and not as aggressive but I think the mix breed of the two is a real good balance.
I have started researching Kengals too which I've heard a lot of good things about but never worked with them myself. I have a Pyrenees and her size alone is a good deterrent which cracks me up bc she is a big baby albeit a big protective one which is good for a single gal.
A glow stick, fishing line and mouse trap can alert you to intruders in the brush. Especially at night. Small cowbells also tied into bushes is helpful.
You can even put baby phones in a bird house on the way or on your property. One might put small solar panels on em so they work self sufficant.
The problems with the cameras in your house+smartphone is that if you can see things, others can too.
I have (4) German Shepherds. They do not mess with my chickens, and they are good with all of our livestock animals. I have had them for 3 years out here. I have not had many predator problems...They seem to sleep in the day, and guard at night.
In the midwest, plant a hedge row around your property (osage orange for instance), and then all access is limited to the driveway/gate, and then you have the upper hand. Its easy enough to do, and fits right in to the other old hedge (osage orange) rows that were planted in the 1800's.
NOTHING is getting through that once it is established. Its thorny, thick, and one of the toughest woods known to man.
Info online is available but limited, just collect the hedge apples in the fall and put them in a barrel or two over the winter, letting them ferment into a nasty concoction by mid spring, dig a shallow trench, slop the fermented mess in the trench, cover it back up and let it grow. You can weave the tops together between one tree and another the first and second years to help make it more impenetrable,
and another advantage to this is it is able to be coppiced, that is you can cut it for firewood and it'll grow right back, keeping your hedge.
Kule Beans! What a varietypack!
💪😎👍Thank you Pastor Joe!
Good stuff!
I'm currently stuck on Presa Canario for my dog solution. They're big, aggressive, natural stock gaurdians, and just dont do strangers. And despite that aggressiveness, I could call my big girl down off anything. Great breed.
A few ideas: 1. clear fields of fire 2. electric fence solves most fence jumpers 3. field phone between house and outside of gate for those "need help/direction" problems.
I have two rescue dogs. One is part pit and black lab, the other is blue tick and black lab. They are notorious against intruding animals and work together doing it. Its amazing. Any noise out of the ordinary and there on it. My pitlab is a bit friendly to strangers but the other is not. My pitlab has an alarm bark that will scare you to your feet. The other just listens and growls. Great dogs. I just lost one that 14 years old. He was another good one. He actually trained the other two in home security. And he could track a deer in storm. He was amazing. I miss him. Got them all as puppies. Thats the only way. God bless.
I read Mel's writings back when I was a kid in the 70's. He was way ahead of the time.
Pastor Fox, you've made some great videos but this one is fantastic. Common sense, simple, practical advice. Thanks, keep them coming Sir!!!
I think that Mr. Tappen also said, "All the problems in a small town could be taken care of with one mag of a .45 auto." And "Trust only those who as much to lose as you do when things wrong." Nice vids, keep going. 10 4
Where im going a 45 wont be enough
Thank you Pastor Fox, Those are really good tips for the protection of the homestead! Keep posting these videos they are very helpful!
Great reference to Mel Tappan, Pastor Joe. A thoughtful articulate man. He was espousing many of today’s commonly held principals of preparedness, 35 years ago.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading his material. Thanks for the introduction. Both he and you think physical fitness is critical for preppers, you are both right.
Pyracantha bushes make great natural barriers hedges.They have long tough thorns that will puncture a tire. Once you get a good stand of then they are very hard to penetrate
You need to build Roman fort like walk around battlements around your lodgings ( the places you sleep), not unlike the settlers and soldiers of early america. Inside the fort you also build strong points. Thermal and night vision is also important. Night still represents the biggest threat, physical barriers help prevent infiltration. Other measures, no windows on the ground floor of lodgings and small windows on the second floor, a narrow long main entry to lodgings so attackers have to come singlefile. You also need loopholes in strategic places, concrete door blockers on pallet jacks ready to roll in front of breeched doors. A secure gun tower accessed by tunnel that can police 360 all internal and external perimeters of the homestead is also good idea.
Peacock birds have pretty sensitive senses and respond quickly to strangers within the bird's territory; they will fan-out which can be scene a far away if you're the land owner.
Dogs are good but they bark at almost anything. Birdfood is cheaper than dogfood and in less portions, dogs eat a lot so keep that in mind, more dogs=more dog food.
Certain types of rock and gravel makes loud enough sounds when it's being walked through, that's the type of rock you want directly around your house, the real crunchy stuff can easily be heard late night/early am.
Solar lighting is good if it's placed strategically, at night certain blind areas around your property can be somewhat lit and if a light goes out you know something needs attention.
Buy extra batteries whenever you have a chance and just store them along with extra flashlights, boxes of matches too, firewood, a webber BBQ pit, extra bags of coal, a fishing pool.
All in all, the first 3 months would be one thing but after a year I'm thinking most survivors will end up crazy and/or insane. We've had it too good in America and to think of it all ending is sad.
Most people in a SHTF scenario would go crazy within 2 weeks of the local grocery store running out of food. And be dead within 3 months of a total collapse of society. If you can survive 6 months after SHTF the danger would be far less than when SHTF started. Prepare now, have at least 1 year of food in storage, can goods, dry goods (rice, beans, noodles, freeze dried goods etc) Ammunition, at least 1000 rounds per rifle, and 2000 per pistol, and 5000-10,000 of 22LR for small game (Squirls, Rabbit, Raccoon, etc) and 1000 rounds of various 12ga for Birds. Install a well for water, and rain barrels for your garden. Solar for lighting, a quality wood stove for heat and cooking. And a male and female large breed dogs for protection. And something many don't remember until it's too late, medical supplies for injury or illness. Start stocking up on topical and oral antibiotics, pain relievers, and minor surgery tools, and bandages and dressings. Peroxide and common alcohol cleaning solutions will last forever unopened.
We will survive the first 90 days and 9 months later, we will have some peace. Not crazy. 🖖🏻🙏🏻✌🏻
I have an AMTSAFF for protection. When in a fight they don't back down. They keep coming. My 60 lbs Zoie put a 150 lbs mastiff in it's place, 2 weeks ago. A pit bull is in the AMSTAFF family and will defend to no end.
we board, train & groom dogs in Texas. you make a great dog choice for that kind of setting. in texas, now 100 + deg range a heat tolerant dog is important. our place in a semi suburban area just outside bastrop so still fairly open but also in spawning neighborhood. our solution may sound funny but the chihuahua is a great alarm, heat tolerant as well as eats very little. they sound the alarm and our pit mix, rotty & I take it from there. all dogs are inside dogs. don't forget to put up a years food for your dogs!
If its canned food you're putting up you're good, but dry kibble type will go rancid in a few months or less. BTDT. Dry food does not have a long shelf life and needs to be rotated constantly.
Very thoughtful advice!! Thank you on behalf of our four-legged companions. I used to live in Texas and the amount of dogs chained up outside (you could tell, they were there permanently!) was enraging, and the number of cold-climate dogs I met there was unbelievable. Dogs like Huskies don’t belong in Texas, dangit, and much less chained outside in 100 degrees!
Great advice. I have 2 poms. They are great little security dogs. Right now they're barking at a stranger at my neighbors house. They don't eat much and I will start buying canned dog food as well. Poms also don't have a dog smell. They stay very clean unless they're getting wet all the time. More cuddly when your cold and don't have much heat. But, I miss my Australian Shepherds. Their flock is everything you own as well.
Had a friend that had a dog that would not let him discipline his children. It also occasionally brought home a deer. Bad ass dog.
Love the Anatolian Shepards! great dogs esp with family and livestock.
I love the 42 thumbs down. Brings me great joy. Here it is we have a man trying to help people with survival advise for the days to come...I have only seen two videos from him...I think he is spot on, and is a man of God. The 42 people that thumbs down this video will be the first 42 to go when the days come. Always people drinking hateraide everywhere you turn! Good stuff Joe
Oh yeah Rain Water Tanks are a Great Option on all buildings and Stand Alone Solar Power is the order of the Day. Cheers
something like this for apartment living would be good too. I know it's scary to think about but some of us less fortunate folk might get stuck there, and could benefit from your knowledge on just about any of the topics in your videos if you could modify some for apartment life that is
I have a large female mix that is half mastiff. (DNA test) . I've always found a good alpha female to be a bit more active than males. She kinda borders on the hyper vigilant and has been the watch/protection dog I've had. She has some nocturnal tendencies and that's nice too.
I don't have time to review all the comments, but I recommend the chamberlain driveway alarm, it can have 4 sensors for 1 base unit and they have a range of up to 1/2 mile!!! Plus they are not that expensive, and much better than the harbor freight alarms.
Would ask you to consider looking in your local shelter for dogs that would suit your purposes vs. buying one.
Great advise Brother. I say Brother because I see out Eagle Globe and Anchor on your shirt. Five things, good start for the person to get a little secure. I just subscribed after watching this video. The dog advise we use. And have realized there are two distinct uses for dogs for a property. We have little ones, Sulkies, inside. They act as our early alarm system 24-7. They hear footsteps and they bark. Very good at night if you're a sound sleeper. We call them "Watch Dogs". The guard dogs in our case are two breeds (but I plan to get two more as you mention. We have two Rottweiler's, sisters . They roam around in our fenced rural yard, come and go the shop via secret pet door. The sight of them during the day reminds anyone scoping the place "These dogs will eat you alive." Nobody is permitted to friend them ever. We are going to start a goat, rabbit and chicken operation. And the dogs you mention are a very good choice for that adjoining property. Semper FI p.s. we are in the Ozarks as well. Wappapello, north of Poplar Bluff MO.
Thanks for the sub, thanks for your service. BUT - the shirt is from the Marine Corps Marathon which I ran (twice). I am retired Army. My dad was a Marine. Semper Fi!
Also consider how you are going to deal with trespassers, in the here and now. We have had our gate closed and locked at all times. Several times a year we have fence climbers. They claim vehicle troubles, or lost wanting directions, or they are wanting to come on the property to look for fossils, or they may know somebody that is a distant acquaintance of somebody wanting to know about equipment that is here or etc.... People are often stupid and they believe their need for something out weights your property rights. Its also unnerving when someone climbs your gate to determine what degree of force to respond with...... It could be an idiot that's lost, or an attack, or a person as a distraction for a larger group to attack. etc.....
Hence the Anatolians
+VikingPreparedness true, dogs are a critical part of security. I had a Cane Corso, a large vicious Roman dog, he died I never replaced him. Now I have a 5 yr old child, I trusted my dog, but seeing the damage a large dog can do in seconds, I'm not sure I want that risk. Maybe the breed you suggest is more stable.
Cane Corsos are very loyal and love kids. Great guard dogs.
+Dan Cross
you raise your kids with that cane puppy and it will probably kill you if you hurt the kiddos lol
they are super great with kids if they are raised right.
+Jeff Richards Pressa canario, Kurdish kangal, Caucasian Sheppard, all are superior family oriented guard dogs, but guinea fowl are the best for alerting, as are mules for locating the hidden opposition..
Very good points. Didn't think about the gate always being closed, great idea! Love the drone idea and the two dogs. Do have the 30.06 ready! Need to work on some of the other items... Thanks for all the great suggestions! God Bless!!
For the driveway sensor we have a Dakota Alert infrared and it works great. Had to change the 9v battery at the 9 month mark but we love it. Set it high enough so your dog isn't tripping it.
Always good thank you for this!
Being vigilant and being aware are key.
Sadly the fuse is burning.. and has been burning...
Be prepared and safe always...!~
Thank you! We moved in 3 years ago & we have a locked gate, always. Ex marine realtor mentioned to me " best way to stop crime, lock your gate".
We do.
You should write a book called "More Things." I'd buy it and read it.
Long time watcher and lurker saying thanks for the interesting and informative videos.
This is a keeper. lol. Great advice. I have been "preaching" a gate, etc. for a while now.
I just want to say I am a dog expert. I have always had Akita,
They are a large bear hunter, but now I have husky wolf mix dogs, the wolf mix makes them more vicious for defense but yet still friendly to family
I recently watched one of your videos from about a year ago, saying that you would make a video on a "Long Term" Bug Out Bag. If you've made that video can you or someone else point me to it? If not, I can't wait! sounds like an interesting concept.
great vid great advice, I like the 2 shepard dogs idea and the gate as well, I prefer the weatherby 300 magnum with a zeiss scope for the reach out and touch something, the sks and ar15 for the firefight and the 12 gauge smooth bore to use for bird shot and slugs for deer an small game 22, survival rifle and the 460 magnum for the side arm .)
Having hardened areas or rooms to give cover from incoming fire and the ability to return fire seems like a good idea, most common housing is almost transparent to rifle fire.
Basement. 3 foot stone or cement walls with preformed gun ports. ( windows) and have at least 2 ways out.
Keep the advice coming, just getting started and am lost, my husband works all of the time he wants me to find all the information!
Good points. J.W. Rawles was my first read on survival and he recommended Mel Tappan also. I like the .308/ 300 blackout for battle rifle. Makes sense to have the ability to engage targets outside the effective range of common systems.
Best advice video I've seen in a while. Thanks!
It's nice to get advice from a special forces member and a man of God! bless you pastor
Excellent tips. A couple of 'um haven't even crossed my mind...yet. Thanks for sharing Brother. Be safe and take care !
I have cameras in my home just like that lol love them I can even talk through my phone to the cameras great purchase hat the fence and the gate which only opens when I’m coming and going
Great video to get one thinking, it's kind of sad most preppers think that Rawles is the father of the survivalist/prepper movement and don't look back to the original fathers of survivalism (Tappan, Benson, Ruff, Saxton, Kerney) to get ideas from - many of them are still sound and can be improved with today's technology - drones being one major asset. I was just reading some pdf's of Tappan's PS Survival Notes a few days ago. Since the 70's there's always been the talk of economic collapse, a future race war or martial law just within a 'few years' some things never change.
You can get drones that will launch on command or on a schedule, fly a predetermined route using beacons or GPS, and return to the charging station, all without you having to touch anything but a go button. I'm not sure if they are capable of alert when unknowns are detected but it's just a matter of programming. The software I run my cameras with "learns" what's normal to see and will alert when that changes, especially with motion involved... They are getting really good...
Dogs - we have Great Pyrinese....
Gate - working on that...
Fencing... almost complete...
Currently drilling well...
Ginea hens work for alarms... You will know that someone or something is approaching the property that shouldn't be there...
Solar/Wind - power storage is biggest expense, not the panels or the wind turbines.... Try to get a Forktruck battery.. Best bang for the buck...
Had cameras before, still do.. all I'm sayong on that...
Develop a relationship with local sheriff and deputes... Good to have allies...
Drones are great... Lose a cow, much easier and safe to track.. Plus if you hear someone in trouble, you can investigate before walking into a trap.
practice frequently with the scoped rifle, have multiple people trained and trained in rapid reload...
And so much more...
And I think I found my doppleganger... Weird, eh?
Ham radio?!
My cat was fascinated by this video because of all the birds chirping in the background
I know a guy who installed 3 drone airports, spots to land on his second floor balcony. They stay there and are launchable from there with his controls. He can cover his 40acres in less than 3 minutes.
If you have a large wooded area and things go south fish line and treble hooks work pretty well, one of the cops in our area years ago was trying to bust someone growing weed and lost an eye that way
Good info and I believe timely. Thanks PJF!
Thank you for another interesting and informative video. I just subscribed to your channel. You seem like a very knowledgeable person about many things. You and your wife are living my dream, and I am very happy for you both. I am an old woman now, but if I had the land, my goal would be to be completely sustainable ASAP. I am thinking of downsizing, like building a smaller or a tiny house. I helped my husband build this house and large garage with a small efficiency apartment about 30 years ago. This home was great while raising my children, but this 2 story home is too big. My children are all grown, so I guess you could say that I am an empty nester. My husband and I are divorced. Yahushua says in the Scriptures that if a man divorces his wife and marries another he is committing adultery. A woman who's divorced must stay single or reconcile with her husband. She is not supposed to get remarried unless her spouse dies. I don't wish that on anyone. Our divorce was very bitter. It was final in May of 2001. I would like for us to get along, like when he comes over to see our children and grandchildren on birthdays, etc. From what I could see of your property, it's breathtakingly beautiful. I would love to live in the Ozarks. Do you have problems with poisonous snakes where you live? I have always dreamed since I was a child, about growing my own vegetables, having some chickens, goats, cows ( both for milking), etc. I am so sorry I rambled on, but you are a very good teacher who cares about the people who need to be prepping. I really want a pressure canner. Anyway, Keep up the great work you are doing. May Yahuwah berekah you and all of those you love. Sincerely appreciated.
great suggestions. number 6 PV 14 night scope or infrared I think the heat signature is more versatile
Sounds like a good 5 steps. It reminds me, I was on eBay while back, i saw several deals on security cameras with night vision and they were with antennas so no wires needed to the monitor. I think a 5 camera pack with monitor and recording was 230.00 or so.
Hi Guys. Coming from South Africa this is a joke - not to criticize just comment. Most places in suburbia have have barbed or razor wire large dogs and motion detector lights and alarm systems that when activated call armed guards to your house, who spend nights patrolling areas. The police are not much good - only responding to murder etc. and then only hours later. Extremely violent farm murders are common where whole families are taken out. I live on a farm and it is common to see whole gates on neighboring land just cut off and stolen. Dogs are killed with a poison called One Step, which kills in seconds - hence the name. I just wish i lived in a sane country like the rest of the world.
africaeyesandears oh my goodness, living in fear like that daily must be terrible 😓
We have friends from South Africa and they said they had big bushes with 1 inch thick thorns and the guys just wear extra padding so they don't get as torn up going through. So it was a small deterrent but not for someone who really wanted in.
He did say though that he taught his dogs only to eat from their dishes which were hard for others to access to prevent poisoning. He had three dogs that would guard at night while he slept.
We truly have no idea here about how bad it can really get.
I don’t have a fence but we gotta gate with a lock we live on top or a mountain it’s a shear drop all the way around my dog is an ak Shepard lol !
Thank you for everything you do!!!
Dear SirBest advice I ever heard. Even the drone which I cannot afford. Keep it up. Thank you.
I love the birds chirping the nature all of it where do you find a piece of property like this ?😊
The birds are singing and sound so happy and healthy! I was in town last week, took my dogs to the park. The birds were all thin and didn't sing at all! I was surprised because this park is huge, it's protected and there are deer among the wildlife. I would think the birds there would be happy and healthy, but no.
Anyways, your birds sing such a beautiful song!
Excellent advice. What are your views on defensive landscaping? Not battlements or moats, just changing the natural lay of the land to deny intruders "dead ground" etc.
New to your channel.
Two recommendations on must read books:
1.) Survival Theory by Jonathan Hollerman
2.) The Survival Group Handbook by Charley Hogwood
Used oil pipe makes for a nice fence. Have a nice Pit Bull she likes me so I like her... Also make sure the dogs do bark and then they make nice alarms. No Barb Wire for us to protect the animals. tjl
Here ( again) in late Aug '21 >Pastor Joe You were/are Correct. Utilizing your videos as "refresher courses" Prayers & Thanks All ways.
I'm Baacckk > 23Nov21😀😇❣
A simple NO ENTRY Sign keeps out 95% of People the other 5% it's on Them. Battery Powered items are only good Short Term. Drones are Expensive Shot Gun Targets a Good 12 Gauge Under and Over with Ejectors can be loaded and fired as quickly as a Lever Action Shot Gun! God gave Us Dogs for Our protection and Trespassers to feed Them. Keep Up the good work Pastor Joe
Regards Mal White
I own land in Texas. I plan to utilize it for planting trees, crops, and maybe some animal farming. I suspect such fruitful land would be ripe for the picking without adequate protection and so I also want to turn it into an impenetrable fortress of sorts. It's frustrating trying to figure out how to go about this.
Leave the perimeter pretty wild with cats claw and brambles galore. Clean up the inside and unless someone's flying over they'll never know and won't want to venture in too far.
Texas is a great place to get used oil pipes to make a fence... tjl

Subscribed!!! Great video with excellent information.
There are also drones that allow you to set a "patrol" area and you can send them out, they'll video the pre-designated area, and come back in.
Excellent video!
Start running Ethernet cables.. make a spider grid.. run WiFi towers and remote access to all sensor deer cameras.. remote drones and flood lights in 3 lines.. should all be solar..
I recently purchased this Drone for my business. It's Thermal ! Parrot Anafi Thermal. $1900.00 but its quit and thermal, Guineas Birds are good alarms. Anatolian Shepherds, Bernese Mountain Dog is another. They may be a little tamer. I think the Romans bread them when in the Swiss Alps. For Combat. Great show Joe. 3 years Maybe make an update. Thanks. p.s. man traps?
I have two Great Pyrenees that act in the same manner, they are vicious, but I'm going to look into the shepherd's too.
Scoped rifle with silencer oh yeah. High powered pump action air rifle, ammo is very cheap, also high powered catapult deadly and accurate. On your "no trespassing" signs, mention under what law they will be prosecuted, civil tort etc, and how much the fine is, 2000 sheckles and that they enter at their own risk and that property is private. (Use the same statutes as the gov. use)
Plant based fences are great and they also double by giving berries and protecting wildlife. Keeping pigeons for meat, they are very low maintenance. However I stopped eating meat, one less thing to worry about and I feel better. Create inner boundaries, this will help with managing livestock and crops ( mostly perrinieal) but also confuse intruders. Old pallets are very useful for quick fix and support creeping plants. Create multiple pathways around your property so that you don't always go the same way. Consider private members association so that when you do anything it's non profit fundraising. Be on good terms with your neighbors. Thanks for your vids sir.
