Remote Homestead Security: How One Off-Grid Resident Protects His Wilderness Property
Off-Grid Living: A Comprehensive Security Approach in Remote Wilderness A resident living off-grid deep within a national forest, approximately two miles from the closest maintained county road, has shared insights into his comprehensive security system. The individual, known as 'Cabin Dad,' relies on a Starlink satellite dish to establish a robust wireless network across his remote property. This network is integral to a series of solar-powered still and video cameras strategically placed throughout the land. Some cameras are intentionally visible to act as a deterrent, while others are discreetly hidden to provide covert surveillance. The system is designed to send alerts whenever motion is detected, ensuring constant monitoring of the property. Access points to the property are secured with heavy-duty gates. Furthermore, the resident has proactively coordinated with the local sheriff's department and patrol deputies. This collaboration ensures that law enforcement is aware of the property's remote location and the specific access routes, facilitating a more informed response in case of an emergency. While acknowledging that response times may differ from urban areas, the resident emphasizes the importance of being prepared for self-reliance in such isolated settings. A sign at one of the entry points explicitly warns, 'Notice: Trespassers will be shot,' underscoring the serious nature of security on the property.
