    I'm in a serious predicament. My husband and I live in a mobile home at the V-intersection of two well-traveled roadways. We have no privacy whatsoever. We are trying our very best to find a home with acreage, or at least enough affordable acreage on which to build a home. But we are having no...

    Didn't find any surveillance cameras thread so thought I start one. Is it any good to have one or a few around the house just to watch out for looters or thugs? A friend of mine had one installed one on his front door; I thought it would be nice to have a few installed around the house as well...

    I have long thought that it would be prudent to have beehives on my place. Honey is nutritious, good for trade and medicinally valuable (it's a great topical antibiotic) etc. Recently though, I've been thinking of placing several strategically-located hives around my property with remote...

    Hiding from Google Earth I started thinking about this a month or so ago when my brother, who lives down in MS, commented on my fire pit setting on my deck. And since he has never been to the house we are currently living in I asked him how he knew about it. Google maps. So I pulled up my...

    So I am at work right now. I'm working in a bank owned home and look what I just found. they blend into all the other duct work, and are held up by 2 nails that pull right out. I might just have to build a couple of these...

    Just wanted to remind folks of this. A co-worker had her car GPS stolen and she is concerned that the person knows where she lives. And THEY DO since it is programmed into her GPS. It even gives them directions to get there. So just a reminder to make sure not to program your "home" button...

    While a survival plan should include many things, security is one which will always be vital in a world inhabited by humans. There are several factors involved in a secure location, and I am trying to evaluate these. The following factors are important and sometimes critical in a defensive...

    I feel well prepared in many areas, but worry that our home may be vulnerable to intruders. I live in a rural area 5 miles from the nearest town and 1/2 mile from the nearest neighbor. I have a ranch style home with a walk-out basement and lots of windows. I would like to know what you have...

    Although this is probably a no brainer for most of you, it just occurred to me and it's nothing I've heard mentioned before. Among the many vulnerabilities of alarm systems (but I'm still convinced that it's better to have one than not) is the relative ease with which they can be defeated...

    Personally as a Sheriff deputy I see little bennefit from home security systems. I feel fine with German Shepard, lighting, dead bolt etc. However now that we have moved to an isolted location my wife wants one. So guess what we are getting? It works out to really not cost us anything after...
