Setting Up Base
So you have got to your location and set up camp, then what? Basically this post is just what you plan to do and tips on what's good to do at a base camp, I`ll start off. First the ash remaining from a fire can be used to store organic food, placed a potato and a carrot in a bucket of ash and came back after a month, still in perfect condition. About fires but very basic, NO BIG FIRES. I can see a small forest from my house, I could see a camp fire in it from miles away. Different tips apply to different locations, such as urban or forest. Feel free to post if you are urban or bugging out along with a few tips, have fun.

Already do, very useful in the wild. But ive become more of an urban pepper lately so ive started using this. It stops most light, makes it very stealthy.Hamradioop wrote:Use a Dakota Fire Pit to hide the fire https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlPSEfcz718

I cook with a trangia, half the time I can't tell if the bloody thing is still alight, so nobody else has a chance at a distance!

Once you have you camp set up and your camp security is sorted, I would take some time to gather my thoughts, reflect on the scenarios at hand and come up with contingencies from there.alwayscross wrote:So you have got to your location and set up camp, then what?

Normally I'd then get a discreet fire on the go, gather fire wood for further use and run through the motions.
