Do you have plans for reducing or eliminating traffic to your AO in the event of SHTF? For example, placing logs across the road or disassembling a bridge.

You can do something as simple as dropping a few trees across the road at a choke point but it also limits your escape routes should you need to BUG out from a threat coming from another direction.
Claymores and a few .50 cals........just joking. :jester:
I have thought about this and I think one of the best lo-viz ways would be to use "road stars" on a chain. Easy to make and easy to transport. You can also deploy them fast and it does not have to be a permeate item in the road.
I also found this link:

edited to fix link.
Felling trees would be a very good way to stop them, the link to survivalblog had some very good recommendations too.
Maybe making HESCO's could work, quick and dirty solution.
lucky for me, there are 2 county bridges on my road, one 100ft from my drive way, and the other about a 1/4 mile up the road. Both are just big ass culvert pipe bridges that can be brought down easily. Then we have 2 private bridges across on our property at different spots across a fairly wide and deep creek bed that we could take down as well. That would keep 90% of the trouble out.
I have the trees all picked out but that dose not stop anyone from comming on foot
Concertina wire and a suppressed rifle.
Deadfalls built into your barriers, funnel the approaching baddies' via tripwires and heavy vegetation, etc.
Just stopping vehicle approach will likely ward off the majority of threats. Some concertina wire will trim away another chunk of them. further fortification will only enhance your chances of being left alone.
There are some interesting articles/guides out there about "Defensive Landscaping". The link below is a bit of an overview but if you look there's more detailed information out there.

I guess that is another name. These here:

Get some links of chain and some quick links and you can customize to the area that you want. It is east to employ and it can be moved around. All together it will cost about $100 for several good sections. You can either stake them down or secure them to a tree/ pole.
