Signs concede the element of surprise.
That is a big concession.
Signs demarcate what someone considers a boundary - that is useful information for people who pose a threat.
Signs belong in a normal world with normal rules.
Your point is well taken.
Fundamentally sings are Intelligence .
But it really also depends on the situation.
If you are trying to avoid a significant threat group and you don't want to put up signs t show you are around.... but this also means anyone might come by thinking the area clear
And then you cant just hide in a spot and indiscrimately gun down anyone who happens to stumble down the path.
Could be people meaning no harm, just travelling through to meet up with loved ones at another location, or any myriad of legit reasons.. and then when you fight, there might be gunfire bringing down the exact threat on you are trying to hide from.
Never mind, that even if you are successful and even if folks have been jaded to death, but even in the post-Apoc, folks will not take kindly to their friends/family getting needlessly massacred.
I think signage should be an issue of METT-TC , driving the decision to put them up or not.

In practice, you also can't put up enough signs to cover all the ways someone may wander into any substantial perimeter - so having the mindset that they have been warned is also problematic.
This is a very important point. I find great humour in many of the above signs. The reality is that, much like the barrels that you can buy with "smile wait for the flash," engraved on them, today that type of humour will be presented in court to show that you had intent to murder. A simple NO TRESPASSING sign gives notice without adding a threat of legal problems.Just keep in mind of your signage at the moment. In a lawful society they can and have been used in court cases if you had the displeasure of defending yourself at home. He did mention that briefly around the 14 minute mark.
I realize we are thinking SHTF here, all bets are off at that point, just thought it was worth mentioning.
Level 4? Thank you, NO.This one will only stop educated folks, the others just die,
I wish my driveway was that long for startersIf one had a long road leading to their home this might be an idea. Place range markers down the side of the road every hundred yards out to 800 yards or so with wind flags next to them.
For extra measure put a beater car off the road at the 500 mark with one well-placed bullet hole in the drivers-side windshield. For extra-extra measure actually range your rifle at those distances.
