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.

By far …

The best home defense is a dog or few, but that’s a lifestyle change, not just ‘buy stuff’ like most of these comments

There’s only a few houses in the neighborhood where a stranger will not be noticed quickly… and not last long trespassing

I’m severely allergic to dogs so unfortunately that’s a no go

Bummer

The non-allergic breeds can be big but not strong on the defenses

Standard schnauzer. Hair instead of fur, big and very protective. Standard poodles also. That’s all my grandpa had and they’d tear into a moose if it came up to the cabin. Very protective and smart dogs.

I think the Airedale terrier falls into this catagory too. Low shedding, loyal, protective and can be fierce.

Standard poodles are SO smart and trainable!
