you can get surrounded innawoods fast and pinpointed by thermals on ghetto birds

there're more chokepoints in your home and it's *your* home, a place familiar to you

I feel like the former has more options for movement than the latter though

oh fuck I forgot about police dogs

entirely

If you're researched you cant really do a lot

yeah except for the part that youre in one spot and immobile, and they will know where you are and can starve you out

wheras the socalled infrared drone wont be able to find you if youre smart and know how to go outdoors

you can go ahead and change youre post to only bug out if you have outdoors skills and if youre a NEET then stay in the basement

@bear market how would you conceal infrared radiation when theres no snow and stuff to cover yourself?

Mylar

If you have a mylar poncho u cant be spotted on infrared

makeshift yagi antenna

Explain this

@Dad mylar and regulation of body temp also breath. but those infrared cameras aren't good enough yet to differentiate between human and animal at a distance. they mainly look for campfires

Thinking about investing into a police scanner

@Ann Hiro probably a good investment. Easy way to get intel during a disaster even if other comms are down

i wouldnt because theyre programmed to your area and you can just google the frequencies and put them into a baofeng to listen

does anyone do ham radio or whatever is popular now? how does one get into it?

Best way to start I'd guess would be a scanner. See if radio is useful for you.

Conceivably, in the event of emergency, Radio is one of the first things up.

It's easily the best way for people to communicate quickly.
