Survival Mom's Take on it.


My Take

Bring Door Jambs or use chairs for your door.

Sleep on the far side of the bed from the door and furthest bed from the door if alone.  If you are the one armed then I guess you sleep in front wherever that is in the motel room. 

Rent rooms with interior entrance only versus doors to the parking lot.

Bring your guns and load em for a good night of sleep. 

Stay in the mental condition of readiness that you might have sleeping in tent even though you are in a motel.

If you are in a tent, well then, good luck.

I used to pitch a tent for the target and storage and still sleep hidden in the car or better yet, in a hammock to join the festivities when the gang attacked the tent.  It never happened but it would have been fun to see an attack on an empty tent.

Wear a money belt and a money pouch on your ankles.  A real belt with a money stash zipper is a great option as well.  Check Amazon.

Beyond that, pay a little extra for staying in a better locale and accommodations.
