As we go and start setting up our property one of the main issues we are thinking about is security. We want to make sure we feel safe at our new property and anywhere we travel too.
Dog - We have a dog that we specifically got for being a guard dog. She is a 1/2 newfoundland and 1/2 rotweiller. (She looks like a black lab)
At our property we plan to start with a cattle fence around our camper and expand out as we can afford it. This serves a two fold purpose, one to keep the dog near the camper and second to give an obstacle to anyone wanting to get close to our trailer.
We also have purposefully kept some wild blackberries going at the back of our camper to serve as an additional deterrent to people walking up behind our camper.
Handgun - I now carry a handgun with me anywhere it is legal. This help my wife feel secure and she also plans to get a gun after she receives some training. This is important to keep you safe from people, snakes, and any other wildlife animals.
Knives - I also try and carry a knife (At least one) all the time. This serves as the same purpose as the gun. We also have mace on our key ring and have a shotgun for home.
There are multiple other things you can do to help keep you safe that we plan to do such as, beware signs and others of the like, to taller fencing etc. Be creative and more importantly be safe.
