Being something of a survuivalist or perhaps believing that there is great change coming and wanting to prep for same, I want to ask advice and ideas.
I believe that it is entirely possible that roving bands of thieves/murderers are possible as the current financial world falls apart and a worse than a depression sets in.
If that is the case, and I have a fixed abode, it is likely that I will have to defend same. It would be much better if I had built in defences in place, built in that didn't appear to be particularly defences. Maybe steel plates in the walls under the windows or something.
My personal hunting was as a farmboy, mostly with a 22, and then later some 30 cal big game hunting. Lynx, Wolves, moose, deer, bear etc. In my country I would not expect many people to be carrying 50 cal, but possibly. I never was a gun nut, just shoot quite accurately. I expect to be stacking firewood around my abode, so that will be another helpful idea.
Any suggestions, such as the above, which wouldn't immediately be noticed as strictly defensive, to be noted by talkative neigbours, would be appreciated. Booby traps of the same nature would also be welcomed.
Many thanks
