Urban – Home Security Gear

Urban Survival is all about being prepared.
One item that you might want to think about adding to your bag, taking with you when traveling or stocking up on for your home, is the good old fashion door wedge.
These cheap little wedges can come in extremely handy during an emergency situation. Shoving one of these little bad boy’s under the door can give you the added time you need to react. If you had to seek temporary shelter in a building, public bathroom, or even in your own home ramming one of these under the door can help you keep unwanted people out.
Doorstops:
Great idea! Nice and simple.
That would work great against zombies!
what also would work great is a mini pry/crowbar the one that fit on a keychain or in a pocket
Somehow I thought I was a tad paranoid (even nutty) to bring something like this in my previous travel..
Then I read your post here!
I made one of such door stopper these ways:
1. Buy two hard rubber door wedge stopper (some door have higher gap below, so need two small wedges or one big one).
2. Drill a little hole through the thin ends of the wedges.
3. Put a key ring holder through the hole.
4. Attach a lanyard through the ring.
5. Throw “travel door security stopper” into luggage!
Basic carpentry tools could prove valuable as well. Not only good to make your own “door” with, but modify materials into equipment,and build better, stronger shelter.
good idea, here are a couple of other ideas as well. If it is your home you are in drill a couple small holes 5/16 or 3/8 into or through floor one about 1 1/2 inches and one aobut 2 1/2 inches. a heavy duty screwdriver can be insrted into hole to keep the door from opening second hole is to check for a friendly if you dont have peep hole. Another is to use a brace at door knob most entrie are made at this point snd even usind a wedge or screwdrive will allow door to be forced if used alone.
a door wedge is a great idea but most doors will break if kicked once or twice i say keep the 9mm close at hand i even have one in the bathroom
@ sherman
