Rather than making a home look vandalized i'm going to board it up and make it as defensible as possible. I'm thinking that a well protected home will be more of a deterrent than a home that looks to be easy pickings.

The thing that worries me about that is your a sitting duck then. I'm all about defending your home and property but you board yourself in and all it takes is a few people to surround your house and one fire bomb and your trapped, or you run out and your dead.
If I shelter in place i will do my best to make my house look worthless. I will defend it but I also know that there comes a time when for me and my family to survive ill need to escape.
If I bug out I hope to have enough time to take everything possible. If not the house will look worthless and I have a few secret spots to hide stuff in. Chances are even looking looted it will be picked through multiple times so I expect nothing for me if I return.
