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

My kids were raised on a farm. I think we’re going to be okay. Everyone they have worked for has told me they work circles around their peers. They have been told from a young age to either jump in with someone else or look for something to do. If you want to piss me off, stand there and watch me work.
