Fith Ops Original USA-Made Camp Safe 12 Gauge Perimeter Trip Alarm Device

This product is excellent - very well made. Have done a test and check, all four permiter alarms that I ordered worked on the first try. My compliments to fith ops.

USA Made high quality, excellent company and works as described. Easy setup

These are American made and work without question. Bought a Chinese version of these trip alarms and none worked.

Works well! The video shows a 12 gauge skeet shooting shell (lead removed and then loaded with baking flour) to show the dispersion pattern if a person were to use a pepper round. I would have given it 5 stars except for a couple things. I filed the release pin because it had a burr that was increasing trip pull force required to trigger the shell. The pin was catching slightly. One thing I don’t like but may be ok… the tension dent is in the center line with the center fire of the shell. If corroded or stuck I wonder if the tension dent pin could fire the round while the shell were inserting quickly. IMO the tension dent should be off center with the firing pin.

It I’ll wake you up when tripped and run off most intruders

I ran my 80 lb string at 50 yards out fully around my camp, looked over at my 5th ops Camp Safe, and said "you take the watch". Then slept.

We live in the pigeon forge Tennessee area and have a lot of bears in our area and they work great for keeping them from climbing on our deck. I ordered one a few weeks ago to see how well they work and just ordered 2 more. They are easy to set up. I use 12 gauge bird shot that I cut a hole in the end and dump the shot out to make a blank and it works perfect..

A couple or three things I think might be helpful: First: The very LAST step in your set-up has to be inserting the blank. In other words, don't arm your tripwire until it is strung the way you want it. Once you've got it all set up, THEN insert the flash-bang round. Second: When you attach the device to tree or post, make sure the detent, (the opening for the base of the blank shell) is facing outward or you'll have to unattach it and turn it around. Third: Some of the shells used in these devices produce a HOT bright flash as well as a loud bang. Be careful to clear away any potentially flammable debris under the device (leaves, pine needles, stuff like that.) Last: Consider the height of the animals you want to scare off. Position your string high enough to let the harmless ones pass under. I use 20 to 24 inches high. I'm not concerned about squirrels, rabbits, or raccoons, and I especially do not want to startle a skunk.
