Really?! Weapons on Board?

I have the 'Spare Thetford Toilet Cassette' self defence strategy. One cassette is always at least half full. I rip out the cassette and point at the yellow cap when facing a miscreant, if that doesn't work I flip open the sealing blade and pour in a San Miguel and give the cassette a bloody good shake then close blade and open cap (hopefully pointing spout in the right direction) Goes off like a fire extinguisher, in fact that's another good use for it.
Anyway has worked for me on many occasions I can assure you. The fuzz have always considered this method to be self defence using a very offensive but legally held weapon, furthermore they have thanked me for making it easy to get on the scent of scrotes and sniff them out.

But mainly because there are many many (x100 maybe) more instances of overnights in aires and campsites !

Not saying you are wrong but it is appropriate to consider the statistcs

I would hazard a guess that in Spain, where most of the break-ins appear to happen, there are more wilding than dwelling in campsites or aires.

Especially in the last couple of years, as many 100s of Germans & French have bottled out of Morocco.
 
I'm a red-headed, menopausal, Scot! Believe me they better be well armed if they come face to face with me if they are a burgling, esp. After recent events.
Failing that I sleep with a heavy torch by my head jic for the rare occasion the two dogs aren't with me
 
Red headed, menopausal and a Scot? Even more frightening to the scrote if you happen to be a bloke.

Since seeing this thread I,ve inquired of several continental motorhomers and all of them have at least one sort of weapon most have some sort of spray. So beware if approaching them you may get skitted mistakenly

I always carry this with me. I think with the power of his jaws they'd permanently lose the use of an arm or leg, he's developed a low menacing growl warning when he's unsure which I hope would give them a clue to get lost.

Mine does good 'growl', thinks she's the Mike Tyson of dogs but at 3kgs wet would only scare a cat burglar.... Cat burglar... get it... I don't know how I do it for the money...:wacko:

we all carry weapons on board unless you eat with a plastic plate and pusher, hee hee
 
Large explosive device...

this has been discussed before, and we all know that the authorities are more concerned with the rights of the offenders, so protecting yourself with any kind of weaponry is very dodgy.
so you need to be thinking- what's acceptably innocent to be within reach ?
a spray can of Pledge, or carpet adhesive will glue the bad guy's eyelids together,no blood, no mess
i once fired off a large explosive device on a beach and a South African guy got out of his camper, furious at being disturbed, with a 44 magnum in his hand

So let me get this right... the Campervanman who might have been reading the paper, sleeping or giving his missus 'the benefit' had a 44 Magnum hidden in his van somewhere right up until the time you detonated 'a large explosive device' nearby.... If this is something you do on a regular basis please can you let us know where and when you're planning your next dynamite test so we can take evasive action? Alternatively do you accept commissions and or might you consider suggested locations from other members as I can certainly think of some :)
 
Self defence

Re debate as to wether to bear arms in a motorhome or not
An often overlooked item we all hopefully use is available for self defence
An aerosol deodorant spray....deodorant or hairspray/ furniture cleaner etc.
A nicer , sweeter way to tell an unwanted person to bugger off....
Some are very powerful an a quick squirt in the face of offender is usually enough to change their mind or at least make good an escape I advocate a pepper or mace type spray if legal in that country...
If someone is gonna mug you a quick rifle in a bag or pocket is all that's needed...I recommend right guard
Personally ( for odour control only)!!!!but it has a powerful blast.
Happy new year.
 
If a deodorant is a weapon then I confess to carrying one in the van, but I would have to excuse myself and go to the toilet to retrieve it. In doing this I would pass a drawer full of knives after squeezing past the assailant.

Mr. Brown can no doubt answer for himself.
In Spain and Portugal no excuse is needed at any time of the year to detonate some bloody mighty loud fireworks, He may just have just been going native
at that particular time.
 
just for the benefit of any new comers to going wild camping there is no nead to worry or carry any weapons of any kind especially a illegal fire arm.
i am sure there is only one weapon you will nead that's common sench.
I have wild camped free parked for over twenty years now with very few if any problems if it docent look right Don't park their move on.
This talk of caring fire arms pepper spray probably would inflame the situation your best deference if really worried abut getting robed or murdered when on your travels give up motor homing and become a monk

That's an apt and timely reminder, Wild Bill Hickok he carried a .36 Navy Colt for defence, and look what happened to him:cry:

at the time i was friendly with the owners of a firework factory, who were happy to sell me any amount of black powder bangers, rockets and fuses. great fun round the campfire of course, but some of the bangers had 3 or 4 ounces in , wrapped in layers of brown paper, and they made an incredible bang. i may have startled him i'm afraid
