In english we read the birds and got me thinking we are prepared for loss of food,water,power,etc. but how prepared is your house for things do you have any spare wood easily acessable without going outside for boarding up your windows for things like riots and such how prepared is your house how easyily can you secure it without going outside
It's a pretty good question, Wild but I don't think most folks will have a problem with that. I can see where a city dweller could certainly be in that situation but for the rest of us I don't think we'd have to worry about it too much. That shouldn't be something that would instantly happen.
My home is pretty secure because I've planned it to be. My doors all have at least locks and deadbolts and front and back have a five channel locking mechanism that extends the length of the door frame. Windows are double pane double locked. So you'll have to break something to get inside and then you have to deal with weaponry.
I do have wood and tarps, screws and nails and tools if I need to cover a window, door or roof.
Here's some security info for you:
A study conducted by Simon Hakim, Ph.D. in 1991 concluded that homes without security systems are roughly 3 times more likely to be broken into than homes with security systems. Losses due to burglary average $400 less in residences with security systems than for a residence without security systems. He also found that in homes with security systems that were burglarized, the system was not turned on 41% of the time.
Clearly, there is a connection between having a security system and being protected. You have to remember to use the system, though.
Does your name appear anywhere outside your home? On your mailbox? On some type of placard? A burglar knows your address and if your name is displayed outside then you have given him all the information he needs to determine if you are home. He can just call 411 and ask for your telephone number. A simple phone call to your number will tell him whether anyone is home.
While you need your address posted for emergency services, there is no need to have your name displayed.
In his study, The Efficacy of Home Security Measures, Dr. Timothy O'Shea found that owning a dog had little impact on a burglar's decision to enter a home. A finding further supported by earlier research (Buck, Hakim, & Rengert, 1993). His research made a surprising discovery that deadbolts were somewhat unimportant in detering a criminal. More important was the type of door the burglar was confronted with. He found that the type of locking mechanism was not nearly as important as the type of construction of the door.
Another great thing about underground homes. Not only are utility bills lower, you can plant a garden on the roof and easy to defend against nature and man
i have wood (alot) and food in my basement , 2 inch thick planks ready to be slided into slots in the windows , 2 inch thick hardwood floors on the upper level , a 1 inch solid wood door with a 3/4 inch steel plate and drop bars , 1 foot solid concrete walls, im one paranoid teen arnt i lol

The underground home is actually the best. Cody Lundin talks about his semi-underground home in his book "When All Hell Breaks Loose". His self-reliant home was well planned out.Quote:
