In reply to EdSmelly. No kidding. Need to connect that to a stick of dynamite to be effective.

Trip wire attached to flash bangs. It will not only scare the hell out of the intrider, but it will let you know exactly where they are. And no worries of causing a.fire.

Don’t you have enough common sense to know if you are under fire restrictions or if there’s a fire hazard. That’s why the band roadrunner and Wiley Coyote. Because of people like that.

It seems that the concept of camp site security is not understood by many responders. This is a trespass alarm, it’s intended to make an irreversible alarm that allows you to know that someone or something (Sasquatch maybe) has come through your camp site. Unlike the audible alarm, for when you are sleeping, this one is for when you go on your hikes away from camp.

The fire burns out far to quickly to be a real threat, especially since it’s off the ground and out in mid air.

The title should be switched to “Trespass Alarm”

Have you ever successfully started a fire with a match in three seconds without an ignition fuel to assist? I’ve started enough fires in my years as a rustic camper. And even in the driest of conditions I’ve never seen a fire start in three seconds, especially on the side of a tree, off the ground.

That’s a trespass alarm. It’s intended to let you know if someone has been on your site while you were away. It also lets you know to beware approaching your campsite in case of an ambush by bad guys. Yes, bad people do harm others in the woods.

The point of the fire is more for ambush awareness or trespassers when you are away from your camp. The burn happens too quickly to start a fire and it’s irreversible, so you can’t silence it once it goes off. The audible alarm is more for night time when you are sleeping in your tent.

The red mixture is the tips of match head that has been ground up and mixed with rubbing alcohol to make a paste that dries when the alcohol evaporatea
