Self-defense skills
Although it can be hard to prepare for an emergency, self-defense skills are essential.

There are many ways to make your home more secure and safer. Protecting weapons is essential for children who are curious. Fake electrical outlets, wall art, and kitchen furniture are all options. Home fortification by itself will not protect you from intruders and zombies. You should also have a safe room such as an escape, panic, or bunker in your preparedness plan.
Dogs as guardians
You can protect your family and yourself by using your dog as a prepper home defense guard. Dogs that are naturally protective can often be overlooked because they have guardian traits. A Labrador, for instance, is not bred with the same instinctive mistrust of new things or people. It may try to say hi to someone unfamiliar, but then respond with fear if it perceives a threat.
Use sandbags, booby traps
Sandbags and boubytraps are a great way of deterring burglars and intruders at home. Booby traps are known to cause the death of livestock and first responders. You should be careful with your booby traps as they might not be entirely safe for your family.
Building a fence
Before you start building your fence, you should know how to install it correctly. Follow the proper installation procedure and use only high-quality fencing materials. You should first lay the perimeter of your fence. To make sure the fence is level, place string along the perimeter. You should also set batter boards six inches away from the property line, so you can line up the fence posts. Pickets can be placed at the appropriate height using a 2-by-4 method. Use a stapler and/or pneumatic nailer to secure the pickets. After fence posts are secured use exterior-grade fasteners.

Next, place your food in a ziploc bag. Cover the bag with plastic and let it dry somewhere warm.
Once the food is dry, you can store it in a sealed container. It is important not to let food contact other things.
