Perimeter alarm (trip flare) details to come

Well, the video is up now. You can't see much, except the results of the primer and 60 gr. of Pyrodex going off. It makes enough noise to alert you if someone tripped it and if you were on guard. My prototype doesn't really illuminate what tripped it.

The main thing is that I built it using common hardware items. I will post details of the trip mechanism design when I get back from Sam's. They have 25# sacks of cornmeal that I intend to put in the oven to kill the weevil eggs and then repack into mylar bags/buckets with CO2 or nitrogen.
