(This is for WROL/APOC scenario).
BOL is sister's res.
The BOL is approx. 30 acre woods, rectangular, surrounded by fields.
I suggested to the BIL and sis we should be able to see any approaching threats if the world turns to crappola.
So, we discussed towers. They approve of constructing them.
As guard towers, I think they should have a means of RAPID escape if incoming fire becomes too overbearing. The front and sides would be armored as well. a staircase or ladder may become a problem for quick escape.
At first I thought a "fireman pole" would do the trick, then I settled on the "fast rope." method.
Not shiny and not ricocheting bullets off a pole. can be rolled up to platform.
Ideally they would be about 10-20 ft. high, depending on location.
The property is relatively higher elevation than surrounding fields.
These towers would be "within" the woods a little. They would be camouflaged. may pour concrete in base support posts.
Maybe 5x5-7 ft wide. depends on if fastrope is "within" the tower or not. IDKY. lol.
According to the layout of BOL and surrounding properties, I think 5 or 6 towers would suffice.
Easy materials to obtain right now are concrete and wood beams. and pallet/skids.
Bolts and sand/steel plating.
Camo netting for various seasons.
Communications may be implemented in the future.
So, I am curious if anyone has done something like this, or any have ideas/add-ons, that would be cool.
