In that no one would ever get to their property - unless they walked up a road or were spotted by a 24 hour surveillance team. Not everyone uses dogs or they might not have survived. Not everyone has multiple able bodied folks to carry out all desired actions or foxholes already dug at their multiple bug out options. Not everyone is a dumb ass who will approach in a normal way. What if you get caught with your pants down - literally?
I guess this is aimed at me,.. I dont mind a bit though...
,.... I was in the military long enough to [hopfully] look at all the option, or at least all the options that come to mind,.. there are often options that your minds eye doesn't see until it is pointed out to you
First of all unless you live in a fortified castle then I doubt anyone lives in a house that is completely secure, every location will have its weak points, all you can do is try to limit these and cover the main problem points first.
When we moved to this house we looked at the area in detail, it really is not an easy area to get to if you dont have transport, and if you do arrive my transport then you can only approach via one road,.. there is a problem here, by the time I see that they are at the door,.. a problem
If they come on foot they can only EASILY approach by the same road, someone who knows the hills could approach from the hills, but I would be fairly confident of seeing them,...or one of my dogs would
They could come up the loch by boat, but couldnt land close by because they couldn't stand on the bog, they would be down to their knees at least,.. believe me I know I have tried
So we chose this spot to limit the risks not to eliminate them.
If I was to miss someone approaching my dogs would certainly hear/see them, [ I have three German Shepherds and two older Collie dogs] because of the dogs the gate is locked.
I do have one direction that is more at risk than the others, that is because it is lower than me and has more trees, but to get to me from that direction they would first have to go through a couple of other properties, a variety of fences and a short climb to get to our level
Because of the dogs, I cant see me being caught with my trouser down, which doesn't mean that it couldn't happen, it might happen at night,...then I would have to assess that at the time,.. it would depend on how many there were, are they armed [ I would be ] and who was with me at the time
Nothing is sure, nothing is completely safe,...all we can do is think about your situation and how best we could manage what we have
