Survival Dispatch Insider Vol. 4 Issue 6: Defending the Homestead

Your home is where your kids grow up, and the last place you want to fight. Issue 6 of Volume 4 is 75 pages on making sure it never comes to that, and on being ready if it does.

Inside: hardening your home, lighting the access points that give someone cover, channeling intruders with fences and landscaping, stopping window attacks, reinforcing every door, and whether firing ports make sense; why the human element matters more than every gadget; tactical landscaping, from holly under the bedroom windows to lessons from the Normandy hedgerows; de-escalation and knowing when a trespasser becomes a threat; animals as security, dogs, llamas, guinea fowl and more; defending a perimeter, how much ground you can actually hold, force multipliers, small patrols and a quick reaction force; patrolling basics, pre-patrol checks, light and noise discipline, formations, bounding, security halts and lines of drift; area denial, choke points and topography; and gear reviewed in this issue, including Kevlar trip lines, barbed and razor wire, concertina, an IR illuminator, driveway alarms and a shotgun-blank perimeter alarm.
