Is this MY "beaten track" position, or is it the royal WE again?
And your BOL, how will it be visually hidden?
Anyone thought about massive camo nets? Using dirt to darken the outside of the house? Maybe using surrounding trees to hide the building? Using black out curtains to hide light from inside getting out? Repainting the house in duller colours? Building small ground banks to hide the straight lines of a bungalow? Ripping up grass and the alike to hide the roof? Or just leave it as a normal building that is clear from miles around?

Maybe the best option is just to keep moving round, never stay in one place for more than a day or two.
If you are talking about trying to (better) hide an established property, then I wouldn't bother, just try and keep a low profile, ie: no lights; no smoke; no loud noises; no changes to the appearance, unless you have your own militia with you.

have you ever carried a vehicle sized camo net? for me its going to have to be natural concealment....burrow down into the center of a bush or hedgerow etc.

blackout curtains on the windows is good, or use wooden boards to do the same-that's what they used in WW2 ("put that light out!"), smoke..use only dry, seasoned wood, not green wood. keep cooking smells down...maybe only cook after dark, keep noise down....not easily if you've got kids, I guess. that's where having less people would be an advantage.

Now that's a new perspective.
My only issue with that would be for longer term food production, you'd be in real trouble.

Dev that's the usual mo for guerrila's multiple camps,keep moving around....I think the stealth approach will only serve you so long , you're luck will run out sooner or later....tis a short term strategy hiding.
RE: Shelter Camo - bigpaul - 11 April 2014
if you keep moving from place to place, always on the move your bound to get spotted, probably sooner rather than later, better to stay in one place and keep hidden.

But if you are in Hunter Gatherer mode, you will not be wiping out everything in you area, as you move around the rabbits will restock in the previous areas. But if everyone else is doing the same thing......
Travel at night!

You guys have fallen into the abyss again!
You are in England, your ancestors gave up living as hunter gatherers about 1,000 years before they learned to smelt copper when the population density was about 2% of what it would be after your expected 90% die off.
