How To Put Together Your Own Bug Out Bag Perimeter Alarm Kit… Or How To Sleep Better At Night When The “Zombies” Are On The Move.
In my bug out bag, or my get home bag, since I keep it in my vehicle at all times, I keep a little perimeter alarm kit. The whole kit is relatively small, lightweight and fits in a MOLLE mag pouch. I feel this kit is necessary should the SHTF. I figure that if this happens, I might have to be able to get home all by myself, over a long distance, possibly on foot.
Well, what if I have to spend the night who knows where? Maybe in an abandoned building. Or in a makeshift campsite in a clump of trees. Or maybe an old tractor-trailer. And if I have to sleep, I wouldn’t want to wake up with who knows standing over me or all my stuff gone. My trusty firearm won’t do me any good if I’m sleeping. So I put together a little perimeter alarm kit with the following features in mind.
- To be able to put up an alarm around a campsite.
- To be able to alarm doors and windows in a building.
- To be able to lock or secure doors in a building. This includes single doors, double doors, and doors that swing outward.
- To be able to black out windows preventing people from seeing in.
The following is what I keep in my kit. - door/window alarms. You can get them on eBay, home centers or Dollar General. I got mine at Dollar General, by Bell & Howell, 7 for 10 bucks.
- homemade alarm bases. These are just 3 ½ X 3 ½ pieces of ¾ in plywood.
