The alarm pin is set in place.
In a real-world application, the user affixes the alarm to a solid object (a tree or fence post) using screws or zipties. Once the trip line is set, near a campsite for example, the trip line is tied to the pin shown here. After the pin is set, the user can carefully load a blank round into the alarm, making sure not to disturb then pin while loading.
The trip line is disturbed and the pin is pulled.
When the pin is pulled out, the device is triggered to fire the loaded blank (NEVER USE LIVE ROUNDS).
The alarm's solid 6061 Aluminum construction and professional engineering ensures that the pin pull and firing mechanism work reliably in outdoor conditions.
Trip alarms are perfect for preventing wildlife from entering your campsite. All devices connect a trip line to a pin to detonate a primer, causing a loud "BANG!" alerting you and scaring away intruders. Win- Win!
“Our neighborhood bear made a habit of dining out at my garbage bins. We set up a perimeter alarm to train her to keep out. Worked perfectly!”

"I bought two for early warning purposes…black bears and griz where I like to hang out. They’re easy to set and seem very reliable. I’m not looking to harm, just wanna feel a little safer..”
— William H., USA
*Ensure you never trip the device while inserting a round!

1. Which 209 primers work with the 209 primer trip alarm (also in Camp Safe)
All 209 primers will work. Regardless of brand, as long as it says 209 primer, even the black powder ones will work. All brands work; Remington, Winchester, CCI, and more.
2. Are they waterproof?
No they are not waterproof, they can be left out in the elements (ie, on a tree for a few months) and should still work. This is when they are recommended to oil it and then you can use clear nail polish on the primers to help keep them “water-resistant”.
3. How do you maintain the perimeter trip alarms?
FithOps recommends maintaining the device like a person would their weapon, with gun lube and cleaning brushes.
