The name “booby trap” might sound asinine, (you might be laughing after reading the term “Booby” 😂) but these security devices can warn you to intruders while simultaneously scaring off or injuring whoever or whatever trips the trap. Whether you already have a homemade arsenal or are looking to upgrade, there are some essential tips for setting booby traps.
The main purposes of bobby traps include:
• Frightening, hindering, and demoralizing the enemy
• Tiring the enemy so they drop their defenses
• Supplementing your own firepower to deliver the final blow—if necessary
So how do you make an inexpensive, creative alarm system that stops intruders in their tracks? Check out these 5 tips:
Use What You Have
Anyone who worth their possessions knows how to use whatever is on hand at the time to make their situation more favorable, even if it is only to a degree. Remember, you do not need heaps of materials to rig traps. Some of the simplest designs, like trip wires, snare traps, slow-burning fuses, and corn flour explosives, all utilize simple hardware if any.
Stock the Supplies For When Necessary
Setting up booby traps long before there is any evident danger can actually be rather vulnerable. Stockpiling supplies may lead to premature discovery. Be sure to hide the goods where no one can discover them, and if the supplies are discovered, you want nothing there to show you own it.
Camouflage
Hide booby traps where no one would think to look. The less traditional, the better. Learn colors for environments, lighting, and other cloaking techniques to make the traps inconspicuous.
Timing
Think about the qualities of each trap you are setting and for how long the effect takes place. For example, if you set off an explosion, and have a log-swing immediately afterward, you are not going to get much use out of it. Space out the traps for maximum efficacy and damage dealing.
Practice Patience and Alertness
This cannot be prefaced enough. Going from trap-to-trap will tire you out, and you may be detected. Or, getting antsy and firing off a trap in a rush will weaken your defense. Again, this is why supply stocks are great. Stay alert, look out for movements, and keep a level head.
When you have your supplies prepared, a significant amount of stock, and are ready for an intrusion scenario, there is one most important thing to know. That is to practice making traps to know your strengths.
