House Hardening – Home Security for SHTF or economic collapse
My plans for making my house more secure, to hopefully make it through the rough times we may have in the future.
Excellent video, I just discovered it tonight and also like the one about the OnGuard door blocker.
hahahahahaha so good!
Nice…
I think its great that you are hardening, but here is some ideas for you that would be a quick and cheap. Eye screws and Bungie cords across your doors. Idea for your screen door. Have a arch way extending out about 2 ft. This will keep a team from stacking up and funnel more into a straight lane of fire for you. Keep up the berry ideas and cactus.
one simple cheap alternative to door locks and such is 2×6 studs sucured to the door frame with u-brackets. i spent 6.50 on one stud and u-brackets sucured with six inch bolts with nuts and washers. i have a total of four of these braces on each exterior door, making it literally easier to rip the whole door frame off of the house than do move the door a half inch. for less than $30 per door. even with a low budget, you can be secure.
well when my house is compromised i have wired my home to plow up but that’s my last resort ….. i cant really go into much more detail
Very useful info…I will now subscribe.
Great video my friend! A couple of things to consider though, first off, the dog thing. I have read that a dog can be an awesome thing, but in a SHTF or RWOL scenerio, a dog can give away your position and let people know that you are bunkered in that house. Just something to think about! Secondly, you may want to purchase some fire extinguishers (lots of them) cause if the robbers cant get in to you, they will cause fire to smoke you out! Love your work bro! You have some great ideas!
@TheLordHumungus I know what Florida law says is legal. I also happen to know that if you kill someone legally, you are in for a shitstorm of prosecution. Just because it appears that he broke in before you killed him does not mean that you won’t rack up thousands in defense attorney costs during your murder trial. And even an indictment can ruin your career; no one wants to hire someone charged with a felony.
@eldogg4life
haha yeah I love that poster. One of the greatest movies ever!
@TheLordHumungus moving a closet or table in front of your bedroom door when your inside will keep people from hurting you while your asleep if they break in stealthly threw a window. They will have too make allot of noise too move that heavy stuff , i recomend putting empty beer bottles on top of furniture so at night it could get knocked over by the Bad guy and wake you up giving you time too arm up and move your temp barricade outa the way of your bedroom door. Maybe a motion alarm will work
Being the inventor, I am biased for sure- however the bottom line is this is unlike any other security product available. Please send me your name and address off-line and I will send you an OnGARD for your evaluation. If your happy with the results- please tell the world- if your not- let the world know that as well.
We have sold thousands of the OnGARD door braces and were just about the only security company that is willing to provide lab testing to back up our claims.
Stay safe.
@ScientologySucksAss
The furniture isn’t a bad idea in an emergency, but I want something that I can do every day, and hauling all my furniture around and piling in in front of the door isn’t going to cut it.
@globalsecurityexpert
Based on your videos it seems like you may be biased
But I do like what I see with ongard and I do plan on getting it.
@k98killer
Shoot them with BB guns? You better not shoot anybody with anything unless lethal force is justified. And if it is, I am going to hit them with everything I have, not a BB gun.
In Florida we have the castle doctrine, so if anyone breaks in to your home you are justified in using lethal force.
But even better than that is making it so they can’t even break in in the first place (or don’t even try); which is the whole point of this video.
@EconomicChatter
Yeah I put it all up right after the video.
It would be better to discourage people by shooting them with bb guns than getting geared up to kill them. If you kill an intruder, you’ll end up spending multiple thousands for cleanup and defense lawyer fees. And if someone is breaking in to your house, call the cops and tell them that you’re getting ready to shoot the intruder; they will be there much faster if they think you’re going to kill him.
the transition to the arnold pic was hilarious!!!
get that easy armor up right away its not helping you on the floor. also i saw a test video for a bullet proof glass storm door i guess lowes had them for a few hundred bucks check um out
You can get a special plastic film from the hardware store that will make your windows shatterproof, i plan on using it on my door windows so no one can reach there arm threw the window after they smash it and unlock the door.
@ScientologySucksAss DryWall is Cheap, Funerals are Expensive. Keep your loved One’s Safe with there own Sandbag Wall of protection.
just move a bunch of heavy furniture in front of the door, it will act both as a door stopper and somthing the bad guys will have too slowy move threw or over giving you more time. Body armor is also crucial and cheap if you only protect your front and keep your back too the wall. You should also use long deck screws holding your lock parts onto the door. A very very good idea is buying polly sandbags and making a bunker in the middle of your house, bullets go threw walls like nothing is there.
@TheLordHumungus N.C. Fl? thats where I live, huh we got rain today. Surely you can’t be far… Yeah most burglars don’t carry sledge hammers or axes to break into homes, and for a FF if we see a steel door and its locked, finding another way in. Speaking of what did you do about your windows?
@TheLordHumungus
That’s what I meant the front yard fence would help.
@TheLordHumungus …several years back, in LA, we used ‘Z’ braces on the king studs and 2 by 4′s… that will slow them down a bit… like you said, it only adds seconds to your response time… SWATas a device that hits multiple spots at the hinge points…
