Flares....

[rentprop1]

Expired flares from my boat have no nauticle use, but possibly a fire starter it the BOL, just as a back up

The bell and the phone with wire would never make it to us. We are totally landlocked. A flare over our house would probably be the best way to go. No worries about hitting it, it still has a way to go...it would just need to light up the sky in our general area and hope we have our curtains open. Maybe we should plan on installing a sunlight (window in roof?) just for that purpose, hmmm.

You may be landlocked, but those TA-312's are a excellent system just for your situation, all you do is run the wire from one phone to another. Person on one end picks up the phone, hits the clacker on the phone, and the phone on the other end buzz's. The only thing you are limited by is the amount of speaker wire that you use. Im pretty sure with a little bit of digging around on the interwebz, you can find your self a spool that is easily a mile and a half long. If you have a gate, then there must be a road or driveway to your place right? Simply run it along the treeline, or 10-15 feet off of the side of the road. Since its black wire, its easily hidden amongst the bushes, trees, ect. My buddy has this stuff ran thru the trees around his place to all of his "deer stands" which are located on high vantage points. One other point, if someone is at your gate and they send up a flare to get your attention that they are at the gate, remember, if you can see it, so can anyone else in the area. (Especially people on a high vantage point) Just something to think about.

They are surplus military field phones.....That is a 6k ft spool....we have 7 of these in use at BOL......easy to set up....and work great.

The only problem is we have to go through 3 other people's properties in order to get to ours and it's pretty much hunting land and 4 wheelers so unless we took the time to bury the lines (this has some pretty rough country in places) on their land so it doesn't get either ripped up or trip people and risk the chance of them finding it. Not sure we would be willing to go through all that.
