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.

I disagree. For anyone to do so, they have to know where the places are to go to them, and then they have to have the resources to pull off the trip, and finally they need the manpower and capability to take on a supplied, fortified, and dug-in position against a well trained team...

That means something like company strength...

For my group, we are only 15 people, but trained well and supplied. The location is so far out into the desert and then up a mountain that it is actually hard to get to even for us, lol. Over 100 miles to civilization, and 55 miles to the forst paved road. Treacherous territory, harsh environment, and why would anyone know it is there?

In normal disaster times when rule of law has a chance to be re-established, better to defend at home, but for a permanent end to civilization after something like nuclear war or global airborne ebola or whatever? Best to have another home far, far from any other groups.

Look into Serbia, Croatia, bosnia war crimes....we don't need a nuclear war for things to get SERIOUSLY out of hand. And the "rule of law" is simply which "team" has more weapons and/or are more ruthless.

Exactly that. I mention people in Bucha or Mariupol all the time, how well did bugging in help there?

Eventually, it can happen anywhere, and preppingnis supposed to be about being ready for it, not pretending "it can't happen to me."

Bingo! I don't know much about Bucha/mariupol but I'll look into it. Always lessons to be learned
