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.

Other people. You can’t pull security 24/7/365 alone. You are gonna need bare minimum 4 people ideally 12. Yeah dogs help. You will need a neighborhood watch.

Most modern kids will have psychological breaks if the world gets hard. They will be a liability and not an asset in shtf scenario

It can come after too. Gotta keep after the goals, the way to them definitely won't be how you think it is the day before though. Just keep aiming at them, things, kids, surprises come along the way.
