Surviving bug in depends heavily on how well you fortify your location. As mentioned before, my bug in is my house. It is a moderately populated area, close to three Wal-marts (who isn't these days) as well as very near a back road that leads to my bug out location. To keep me and mine alive, I have three levels of defense:
Property Line
10' barbed wire and concrete barricades
I have plenty of cement, I just need the barbed wires!
proximity mines
rumor has it there are homemade recipes for this
ditches
my neighbor has a tractor. i would "borrow" this.
Front and Back Yard:
trip wires
these will set of alarms so I know there has been a breach
ditches
cant have too many
motion lights
the darkness will not get the better of us
guard dogs
they are not to engage, only warn. they could become infected otherwise.
he will be the head of the guard.
House:
wall in all the basement windows
basement break ins will kill 1 out of 200 survivors I am guessing. I won't be one of them.
board up second windows
I don't want to wall these ins but I do want to keep them secure.
flood lights
you can't shoot what you can't see
stair destruction
every entrance and exit must be controlled.
observation deck
this is on the roof. Used for defending, signaling and as a look out.
Homework: survey your bug in location and make plans to fortify
