You think it’s a joke? You think that six months after lights out, the surviving marauder bands will be clowns? You think you can guard every tree line and culvert within rifle range of your home 24/7?

You must be superman.

You made some assumptions about trees and culverts.

I've actually always been more of a hillbilly than a soldier--even once during a little over three months at Ft. Leonard Wood--especially on military and civilian (police) ranges here and there. Hillbillies, per capita, are better on ranges. They also have more discipline and can be far more cohesive, tending to reject effeminate politics ("politics" in some circles known as organized crime).

Remember, freepers, make sure that you have ways to see robbers first, even if a *beep* is required to wake you up in advance (in case robbers killed the bark). Turn those four-foot fences into six-foot fences with alarms now. Place obstacles against vehicles driven by robbers. Install other alarms, and even video, if you want to study and install it for low cost. If you must use those evil firearms to defend your women and/or children from deadly force by groups of robbers, place some of the rounds to the hips and the heads of those mustachioed bad guys. Watch plenty of westerns in advance to know who the bad guys are (hint: mustache). ;-)

The technology to automatically watch a perimeter and set off audible or visual alarms is actually pretty cheap nowadays. Relatively speaking, so is solar and Wind. Heck, a little know how coupled with batteries, a few auto alternators and simple machinery and a good location and, presto, you could have at least enough electricity to power a security system for a fairly large property.
