TASKFORCE ∅ - This is my swamp

[Sperg_rancher]

Please remember that "cement" and "concrete" are not the same thing.

Maybe Josh would pour mortar? or maybe grout? or maybe caulk?
or maybe it's not a wise Idea to modify a rental property with permanent fixtures..

I ve worked in property management

honestly I cant see a land lording going nutts over what would just be a fence post, just take the pole down and use a sledge hammer to break up the cement pad.

Keep in mind I ve seen rentals where people put fences for a dog run, or even a fucking tetherball pole.

But its null situation and his call. The tire and cement is a good option.

Also you but preformed pier

A robust camera system is great and all, but you'll end up inducing some paranoia if you have the 15 camera stream up at all times on your 4th monitor or whatever. You will be constantly staring at it. Choosing a camera system with built-in local AI detection for person and vehicle recognition - or DIYing the solution with Frigate - takes away the work of having to spot someone yourself on the camera feed and it stops all false alarms from swamp critters or squirrels setting off a generic motion detection alert. Combining these AI detections with something like homeassistant, you can write your own scripts and set different alarms to let you know when someone is mulling about or if its just Pooinder Loo arriving to drop off your amazon packages.

Since the detections are running locally on your own hardware, you can train the AI on a data set of tranny photos (extensive collection right here on this website) to really send ram ranch into lockdown mode if a man in a dress is identified on the premises.

Put motion lights and good nighttime cameras around the outside of the house and along the edge of the property.
Stage firearms and blowout kits at a few places in the house and in your vehicle.
Always concealed carry when stepping outside.
If multiple threats are the issue, shotguns are not ideal due to low capacity - go with a high-capacity rifle and keep spare mags nearby.

I am not encouraging you to go down this route, but after you move into your swamp; if you find yourself genuinely paranoid that someone is going to kill you while you sleep, I would recommend buying a perimeter intrusion detection systems (PIDS).

This is really only applicable if your swamp is big enough that someone would have to enter your property (crossing your fence line) before being able to realistically take shots at you.

You'll still want to have cameras on the exterior of your house, but (candidly) you will not be able to cover the entirety of your property with cameras which provide total coverage of possible vantage points. And even if you could, you'd be putting a lot of trust in their AI detection algorithms and low-light IR performance. Without someone actively monitoring cameras, their value as an alarm is often overstated imo. Dogs are good too, but their "range" is going to be smaller than your zone of concern on any compound larger than ~2 acres.

Basic setup: you'd rent a trencher for a day to trench along your fence line and bury a fibre optic cable (or coax for some systems) 6-12'' underground. Plug each end into your terminal (usually a 2U-4U box) and then spend a day or two dialing-in your alarms to exclude anything under ~80lbs.
These systems function by firing a constant OTDR pulse over the length of the cable and measuring the vibration response along discrete 5-10' sections of your perimeter. No joke, you can dial them in to pick up every earthworm that moves within a couple feet of your buried cable. But by default most systems are pretty easy to calibrate to catch people/vehicles. Note: it is hard to account for deer if your fence is not adequately "fuck-off" enough and they can jump over. If you want a real opinion on what systems/vendors to look at, talk to anyone you know personally who works in a data centre and ask what they use for their fence lines.

The sticker price for *new* PIDS systems is laughable because the target market is government/military/S&P500 companies, but you can find the hardware relatively easy shopping via government surplus/auctions. Software runs locally, though most brands I've dealt with have an annual license fee similar to enterprise Cisco gear. Cost all-in including a large spool of fibre is in the $5k-$10k range and then ~$500/year for licensing.

Again, I'm not really recommending this to you up-front. But if you need something that lets you sleep at night (short of living inside your reinforced panic room 24/7), this is what I'd do.

I legitimately want to see the swamp when it's done.

I mean, I know there are good reasons to keep it under wraps, but still.

 

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

I'm going to kill Null with kindness.

 

[Meriasek]

Any good recluse compound needs a healthy dose of claymores spread around everywhere (and also one aimed at and wired to the doorbell).

It'd also be pretty baller to go at attackers with a claymore (the two-handed sword this time). Never leave the house improperly dressed, i.e. without your sword.

Dig a moat and fill it with testosterone.

 

[Jotch]

Is the swamp what you hoped it was?

 

[Yours Truly 2095]

Has anyone seriously suggested taking a stop the bleed class and having multiple IFAKs yet? Guns and cameras do nothing if you can't stop bleeding. I also suggest always having an ifak in your vehicle.

I recommend buying from rescue essentials they have good premade kits that go on sale with NAR CAT TQs. Or you can build it out yourself. Don't buy anything off Amazon it'll be fake. Just get north American rescue CAT tourniquets don't bother with anything else TQ wise.

 

[El President Camacho]

two dishes are not overkill, i need as much bandwidth as i can, and even doing this just doubles the width and not synchronous speeds. i am still looking at 250+250/20+20 tops.

the mast will clear everything. i like how you say "mast is overkill" and then are like "it needs a clear view"

Somehow this post reminds me this

 

[Spergerella Junior]

Open your compound to peaked transwidows and create your own mini army of loyal lady bodyguards.

 

[NoodleFucker3000]

Have you considered cutting down the offending tree limbs?

 

[NeonFlux]

I hope Null hasn't forgotten about this stuff:

1. Get your concealed carry permit and go to the range regularly
2. buy concealable body armor you can hide under a shirt

There's only going to be more crazy people as things get worse economically and politically, I hope you were serious when you said you were armed to the teeth.

 

[Boney]

Just going to the range literally isn't enough. Lots of people have false confidence because they shoot occasionally. You need to train, and know what you are training for and standards to train to.

you're right, shoot without headphones, center mass, learn to quickly draw, shoot, reload, and shoot while moving, do drills, prep for the right thing.

I plan to buy a full bugout kit and do exercise in it once I can afford what I want. Right now I'm saving up and trying not to waste my money.

"Bugging out" needs to be talked about before you do because the "shit hit the fan" genre is absolutely saturated with convincing sounding retards who will fuck you up in the research phase. Saving for the "right thing" is absolutely a good indicator of long term success though.

Mostly this, except don't shoot without earpro. Hearing damage is a bit of a dice roll and you have to protect ears. Drills drills drills drills drills...

 

[Gorton Colu]

I personally subscribe to bugout preparation and dig in preparation as either once could be appropriate.

That being said, any reccs for bugout bags and supplies are appreciated.
