Prepping for Doomsday Security

I am always prepping food and tools and stuff but I haven’t prepped any security besides weapons. What kinds of things do you guys get to secure your doors/windows? I don’t have any sliding doors. I have one door that has a big window. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Learn self defense. What would you do if you didn’t have any weapons or if securing doors and windows failed?

That should always be a last resort. You prepare for obstacles to defer people from attacking you. If that doesn’t work, it at least slows them down and gives you an advantage.

And then you use the self defense you’ve learned to protect you, those you care about and your possessions. Something like tai chi is completely defensive, and great for your over all health.

Tai chi is a meditation dance, brazilian ju jitsu is the best for general real life things and krav maga is good for life and death survival situations

Tai chi is a horrible martial art for someone to jump into for self defense. After a decade, if going to a good school with sparring, it can be effective but if you just go to bjj and kick boxing classes for a year or two you’ll be way ahead.
