.22 Caliber Tripwire Sentry Alarm Mines

An early warning system to protect your bug-out camp from intruders is an important consideration. Those intruders might be men with evil intent, or perhaps a bear looking to fill its belly with whatever food you have in camp. In either case the sound of a gunshot can frighten away the intruder, while warning you that someone or something is approaching your camp.

A useful alarm system for protecting your camp is the .22 Caliber Tripwire Sentry Alarm Mine. These mines fire a .22 caliber blank (Ramset Powder Load) when something disturbs the tripwire connected to the mine’s trigger. 

Placed along the approaches to your camp, these mines can be nailed or tied to a tree, or pushed into the ground using the attached ground spikes. To use the mines, run a tripwire across the approach to your camp and attach the tripwire to the mine’s trigger. When the tripwire is disturbed the striker is released, firing a Ramset Powder Load used to arm the mine. (Note that an actual .22 caliber round will not work in these mines. You must use the Ramset Powder Loads.) The report of these loads is quite loud (similar to a .22 caliber rifle), serving both to warn you of danger and to perhaps frighten away approaching intruders.
