Hey Y'all. This one might be better suited for those that live in the city or subdivisions.
As a former farm kid, the value of a good fence isn't lost on me. In a true shtf scenario a simple, inexpensive fence can be constructed in just a couple hours and would serve as a huge deterrent to crime and looting. Some 6 foot welded wire fence ($100/100ft), a couple dozen t posts, post driver, wire and a single strand of barbed wire across the top is temporary/sturdy/ and a very effective deterrent. For those with a fenced back yard, this would go up quickly and easily in the front. I built something similar in the back for my dogs a few weeks ago. It's about 60 feet long, and took all of 1.5 hours.
Might not be a bad idea.
It would sure make your neighbors house look more tempting.
Thoughts?
The ones you mentioned are good, but filling up as many garbage cans with dirt, putting old vehicles in staggerd locations or just moving removable highway barriers into your neighborhood defense WOULD be good as long as each barrier is manned by someone. I have 4 forklift operator's on my Prep team, there job is barriers and Fighting POSITIONS.
