What do you have as an intruder warning system if the power is out? I would imagine most of us have dogs and maybe even trip wires tied to noise makers. When I lived out on the farm our best warning system were our Guinea Hens, if anything out of the ordinary came anywhere near by they would go off. We had geese also but the guinea hens tended to be more vocal and quicker to alert. On the plus side they also taste great in a fricassee.
a couple of dogs - one is mine, the other belongs to the neighbors. But she thinks my dog is spoiled so she stays up at our house 23 hours out of the day and barks at anything, even her shadow. Annoying as heck sometimes, but come SHTF, she'll be a good alarm, many false one's, but it only takes one real one!
Also have a driveway alarm that gets turned on at night. The dogs don't bark at cars, only people. So you could drive up to my house and the dogs won't do a thing until you get out of the car. Have to work on that.

I would be out in the boonies/desert/woods, I wouldnt light any fires unless to cook food, which would be during the day, so I could move right after I extinguish it. My hearing is perfect, literally. I got the same hearing level of a blue tick hound literally. My ears are my alarm.
We have three dogs at the house on one side, four dogs in the house behind us, and one in our house. Nobody gets anywhere near any of the four houses in our little square without one of the dogs setting off a barkfest.
I have a Wolf/ Akita that can smell other animals and People 1/4 mile away from inside the House and I have a Mean azz Cat named Bullet that has super Hearing and must weigh over 15 lbs...I swear he can hear a Mouse at 50 yards! They are always ready !

Reason: add something
i got 4 dogs 6 cats 3 chickens and one rabbit. and the first thing that would let me know would be the two outside dogs then the chickens would go crazy 9they sit on my front steps. then the two inside dogs(chiwowas) i can't spell them names .lol but they are mean little dogs after that they will have to deal with "miss kitty" the rabbit she stay's inside and has some really big claws. after she gets through with them i'll let my ewife "beeyatch" at tham to death or i'll just put them out of there missery by shooting them.lol
Our cat starts going nuts and runs and hides 20 minutes before a storm, or when someone drives up. I used to put in burglar alarms, so you might want to have other sensor devices like a driveway sensor or camera. If the phones go out the alarm is horn only with the backup battery. I going to have to watch the home alone series for more reminders.
