Dude, I spent a few years as a scout in the Army, and I can tell you that keeping your hands and face covered are the premium concerns for hiding yourself. If you hear a whirly bird (or in some areas you get smaller, cheaper to operate Cessna-type prop planes) don't look for it. Face away, get small and don't move an inch. This is your ass. Guerilla means covert, stealth, hit and run. You've chosen to fight the law. To paraphrase Che, a guerilla can not fight if he does not survive. Make sure your safety is your first concern, not the plants. As for your plants, don't plant them all in one place. Only do groves of three to five plants several hundred feet apart. Never plant in a line or a grid in the open or at tree line. Planting the south underside of dead trees removes overhead cover and allows for visual confusion without having to cut anything. If you do cut anything to open up the canopy, try to make it look natural. When you harvest the girls or cull your males, pull the whole plant out. Don't leave a stump to be found by a hunter or the like. Don't leave trash, don't leave a trail, and don't camp near by. Bury plants directly in the ground. Buckets are unnatural and attract he eye. If you need to container your plants, try burlap. Low stress train your plants (tie them along the ground) to confuse the plants normal X-mas tree profile. Bury a milk jug or five gallon next to your plant with holes drilled in the side to drain steadily over time. Run a PVC pipe from the sealed container to the surface to add water to the bucket. Cover the pipe with a cap or stone or it ends up full of mud and dead mice. Use a dip stick to check the water level and \ or water usage. Buried terra cotta pots with boards over the top are the old school equivalent of this idea. This is because the longer you can go between visits, the less time you're standing around guilty. Work on full moons, from just before dawn or just after sunset. Don't think that because plants can't see green light that a National Guard helicopter with basic night vision won't see you like the Luxor beam. Have multiple routes of escape. The way in may not be the way out. Turn your GPS equipped phone OFF and leave it in the car! Silent means nothing to The Man. Consider a dog as an early warning system, especially during harvest season's overlap with hunting season. A hunter will leave if an area if an "untrained" dog has scared off the game. Coco bricks are your best friend. Compatible with any local soil, they expand on site and won't over water. No perlite! It's impossible to conceal and runs downhill in the rain, giving rippers an easy trail to follow. Other than that, learn your local critters and the defenses against them too. If you're going to carry a side arm or rifle, have appropriate hunting tags and/or a real reason to do so. No one said you can't be the one hunting your plot. On that tip, game cameras with night vision are under a hundred dollars now. Good to have eyes on site if your not around, you know? Okay... tea levels are crashing. Heading to my Querkle now. Just please remember above all else, this is really your life. If you ever go to your crop and it's not there, it was rippers or cops and your spot is blown. Leave, don't look back, don't slow down and don't go straight home. Never, ever return there, no matter what the salvage is worth.
:character0095:-This guy will be there.
