    I wonder how Taco is doing these days?

        Rocky- "Wow! I've never even seen a three dollar bill!"

          I'll tell you what, our little Chihuahua Terrier mix is the best damn watch dog we've ever had. Being so small he seems to be much more alert and attentive to his surroundings by necessity. As for being a guard dog, well, he has “the muscle”, being our currently five month old, 100 lbs, 29 inches to shoulder, dopy brindle Great Dane. Being brindle that dog blends into almost any backdrop.

              Trip wires would be nice, but if you live in a region filled with wildlife... how many times will you reset them? And a trip wire doesn't hear the guy who walked over or under it. Multiple levels of early warning devices is of course the best route.

                "tripwires"
                hmm. i need to ask around and find someone that knows about those things.
                maybe they'll come to the florida campout and give a little demo...
                thanks Christian...

                  It's too bad the tap on the seismic detection sets ran dry in 2002.....

                  You guys want to see real detection and early warning, play with a seismic intrusion detector set.

                    OH, and do NOT believe what you see in movies... NEVER NEVER cut a tripwire... it is too easy to set up a trip wire for tension AND release pressure.

                      battery powered infrared sensors as used on game trail cameras are good too. they don't HAVE to be wired to cameras...

                        Some of the game trail cameras will e-mail the pics real time to your phone or e-mail. It's good to see a zombie and know what they look like before eradication efforts:)

                          Neat! Pretty useful if the grid is still up.

                          How much does a game camera like that run?

                            Exactly why if you do intend on disarming an unknown tripwire for one reason or another, you always follow it to its "Source".

                              $50 and up.

                              motion sensors have uses besides taking pictures. their sensitivity can be adjusted so they only detect large animals. they could be mounted on posts facing outward from your house but inside the fence and wired to a board inside with a map of your place. when one went off it could sound a buzzer and light an LED on the map to not only tell you someone was there, but give their location.
