I'm not a harbor freight representative, but I do purchase items from them. One item I purchased is a home wireless security alert system. The sensor is placed outside and the receiver is placed inside. They say they are good for up to a 400 yards detection, but the ones I have will be set at 100 yards. I have four that will be set up if things go south. I've tested them and they work for me.
With a coupon in the catalog, they are only $9.99 each.

What I did was I put duct tape on the speaker of each receiver, each speaker has a different width/length of duct tape so the alarm sounds different from the other, so I know which alarm is being activated:

ReadyMom, they're battery operated, one 9 volt and 3 C batteries. No power, no problem, as long as you have the batteries. I use the rechargeable batteries.

Good to know! I'll look into them. We have a small parcel of woods behind us, and it's always been a concern of mine. For that price, it sounds like it's worth getting.

I'll look into that, too. We also have a small patch of woods behind us. Hunters manage to "get lost" in there all the time on private property, despite posted signs.

I'm going to pick up a couple more tomorrow on my way to camp, to put in my homemade faraday cage (50 cal ammo box).

One thing to remember if you put them next to the woods, falling leaves may/will set them off. I learned that from experience, also put them on a stake, high enough a rabbit and such doesn't set them off. I put mine on a stake about 2 feet off the ground, but deer still will set them off.
