    Moving through agricultural areas, we were instructed to always look for irrigation ditches, they provide concealment below the horizon, so your not silhouetted against an open area, hopefully water, and you can move quickly without fighting terrain features.

      Actually, dog if cooked properly is good!
      First time eating it in a stew, it tasted different so I asked and was told that it was dog meat!
      Dog meat is not as stringy and tough as monkey.
      Cat backstraps are excellent!

    Depending on the mission, it might be wise to leave your cell phone at home and use walkie talkies or something similar to communicate with your "buddy". Plausible deniability, your cell phone location can be tracked and used against you. Just keep this in mind also.

    • @RomeoDelta-gw7dd

      Good advice. A buddy of mine recently gave me this small pouch that holds a cell phone. It’s supposed to protect against EMP, those scanners that steal your card number and most importantly it allegedly takes your phone off the grid. while in the pouch it cannot receive calls.i shared my location with my wife but once I put it in the pouch it disappeared. It appears to work but I wouldn’t bet my life on it. It’s best to leave the phone home.

      I like to bring my phone in one of the faraday bags and then turn it on and tape it to a bear's back. Bears being omnivores, like people, this simple trick can fool local wildlife biologists.
      The downside is after you recover the phone, you may get a lot of ads for grubs.

    Ahhhh, so much fun with this subject matter. Lots of good info.
    Ok, fun memory first. Out scouting ahead of deer season opening. OH YEAH! Once you encounter that BULL at no more than 10 yds. - You NEVER forget! That sucker was completely hidden behind a huge fallen tree! I whispered to my brother: "freeze". We probably froze for a minute. Then we slowly started "backing" (a 90 degree left turn for us) away from the bull until we had REAL cover.
    When I first do recon on an area that I'm sure no other human is going to be interested in (LOL). The first thing I do is install one of my camo cams about 12 ft above ground. IF it's gone when I come back a month later, I know I have to look elsewhere.
    The tip I want to share is: I want to haul a 60# bag of cement to my secret site and build a fake rock on site to store food and water.

      Saw a video somewhere on how to make a fake rock with aerosol foam sealant. Prefab the structural components off site. Be easier to carry the parts in along with 4 or five cans of sealant , and some spray paint of appropriate color. Lots lighter than 60 lb bag of cement.

    I learned doing ops in the forests for several years, in a past life, that you don't really need camo. I'd wear green, grey, or khaki pants, and a similar long sleeve (earth tones); people won't notice you if you're still, or moving slowly. If i was in a more open area, a little lightweight camo netting in my daypack did the job. Just an option.

    Growing up, I lived within walking distance of a state park. One time my dad and I had an idea. We would try to stalk down a dear and get close enough to take a picture. As we were leaving, we got pulled over because someone saw us get out of the truck wearing camo and reported us as poachers. Going into the woods looking like tourists and put on the camo once we entered the woods would have advantageous.

    The stealth method that you are talking about works very well I know from experience from using it for a number of applications from my life and former employment also in outdoor applications like hunting,camping,Bush craft,ECT. I am wondering thoe as a fellow outdoors man how you feel about the use of bikes like modified mountain bikes and small trailers being used to carry equipment and game to and from hunting,ECT areas do you feel that it can be done so safely and is it feasible and sporting to do so?

    My Ram 4 door 4X4 pickup with a matching camper shell is real world stealth. From the city to the woods. No one can see just how well, my everyday looking pickup truck, is loaded up, and always ready, as a bug out/ survival camping vehicle. One man ,one dog can be pretty stealthy in a 4X4 pickup if you play the role of an old guy with health issues. lol P.S. the truck must be nice enough to not ever be noted as a loud old clunker. Stealth is not always cheap. My truck and shell are red. That's as stealth on the road as it gets..... red on the road is the opposite of camo on the road. Camo equals attention on the road. Red can always be covered with camo while at camp. Stay stealthy my friends.

    Yeah, leave the cell phone at home, Sweep your vehicle for transponders. Also, check your new store bought clothes and shoes for RFID.
    Invisible shields are important here, if you can find one. Keeping yourself cool against detections from thermal scan's, seems an impossible task and could get you killed or captured.
    Bring a drone or two, this might be a real good idea 💡. If you're headed out to the wilderness area's, the u.n. could be waiting now. So many disappearances and no trace. Yeah, underground station's, leading to larger rooms and......

Your first 2 hours are free cos it’s just a service stop.
