Bug-In defensive ideas

Im new to this site and you guys do have some great ideas. You've made me think up some cheap easy ideas. Just remember there is tons of stuff but keeping it simple is best.Laying old tires in tall grass/weeds/brush is a great idea (found it on another thread). String layers of barbwire among it at different heights to keep it from tangleing. Lay it in zig-zag patterns in grass/weeds/brush. Barbwire fences will help slow them up so you have more time to engage. Pallisades, rock walls, dirt walls, moats, barriers of cars. What ever you have will work. Just set it up to protect you IE bunkers. Or barriers to slow them down. As for a flare via a trip wire is good but if you have wild animals or large livestock. You dont want it set off by accident and waste a precious flare or alert someone to your presense or defense. A flare can be seen for miles and if its a air flare people over the hill will get a bearing on your hide/base. Solar/motion sensor lights are a good thing for main roads, trails, and close up defense. If you have power use spot lights hooked up to motion sensors. Even a few for manual operation would work to help blind and pinpoint the intruders. Old cars lights hooked up to old batteries, sliced into some solar panels would work. Im experimenting with some of those walk way lights that are sloar powered. Im hooking the sloar parts to a car battery then hooking it to some motion sensor lights. Whatever you use remember kids, pets, livestock, & local wild life can set them off. So set them up with this in mind. The best early warning system is observation and listening post with live, awake people. To comunicate with your outposts get some military surplus field phones and wire. You can then bury or string the wire in the trees. But the idea is (with rechargeable batteries) you have a secure non-airwaves comunications. Cant be jammed or listenened to. Any more ideas? 3 out of 3 found this valuable. Do you?

Bob wire? Is this a dialect of barbed wire? I would also like to see your completed light fixtures when they are ready.

Yes it's a slang I grew up with but it is barbed wire. lol Old habbits die hard. Ok will do. It's an idea I've had. It's workable just don't know how practical. Post it when I get it working/finnished. My main problem is I think a car battery is to much for it. So I'm now looking into a lawnmower/motorcycle battery. Let you know. Also we don't have much clear weather this year here. So I'm thinking of a new project trying an alernator powered wind mill. But 1st things 1st. lol More ideas than time lol

You can probably have several on a single battery. Another idea are 6v lantern batteries. They are a bit bulky (not compared to a car battery though) and depending on where you get them can be expensive but they are easy to use and last a long time. Here is a gem of a site that supplies me with a lot of my science materials including my power sources and batteries.http://www.sciplus.com/category.cfm/subsection/13 Their writers are sarcastic genius but I have never once had anything go wrong shopping with them. 1 out of 1 found this valuable.
