Light It Like a Stadium š
Install motion lights around your doors, windows, and driveway.
Solar-powered lights = no batteries, no worries.
Add a āKeep Outā Fence š§
A strong, tall fence makes snoopers think twice.
Lockable gates are the cherry on top.
Smile, Youāre on Camera! š„
Affordable cameras can notify you when thereās movement.
Pro Tip: Put a sign upāeven if you donāt have cameras yet. Sometimes the idea is enough!
Bear Says: āThink of your yard as your first line of defense. If you were a bad guy, would you mess with a well-lit, well-protected home? Nope!ā
š Step 2: Beef Up Your Doors and Windows
A locked door is only as strong as its weakest part. Letās toughen things up!
Deadbolt Everything šŖ
Upgrade to reinforced strike plates.
Add a door brace or security barācheap and effective.
Window Smarts šŖ
Install locks or use a security film that makes breaking glass harder.
Bonus: Film also cuts down on UV rays. Two birds, one stone!
Donāt Forget the Garage š»
Use a manual lock on the inside of your garage door.
Never leave the opener in your carāitās like handing over your keys!
Bearās Pro Tip: āSolid-core doors are a must. If your front door feels flimsy, swap it out for something that wonāt buckle under pressure!ā
āļø Step 3: Arm YourselfāJust in Case
Sometimes, trouble gets through. Hereās what to do if they cross the line:
Grab Some Tools š ļø
Keep a baseball bat, a flashlight, or even a cast-iron skillet within armās reach.
Pepper spray or a personal alarm can buy you precious seconds.
Build a Safe Room š”ļø
Pick a room with a strong door and a lock.
Stock it with essentials: flashlight, phone, water, and snacks.
Firearms: Yay or Nay? š«
If youāre comfortable, firearms can be a powerful defense.
Take safety classes and practice, practice, practice.
Bear Says: āThe best tool is the one youāre confident using. Whether itās a bat or a pistol, know your gear like the back of your hand.ā
š”ļø Bonus: Practice Makes Perfect
Got all this set up? Good. Now make sure everyone in your house knows the plan.
Run a family drill to practice your emergency response.
Teach the kids how to lock doors and stay safe.
