If it's the United States Secret Service tracking you, just find a rooftop, be as open and suspicious as possible and they'll leave you alone.
Make sure it has at least a 2" slope!

Those were intentionally planted clues and mistakes, boys. They want you solving that obvious case and figuring out those obvious mistakes.

“Not now babe, Garand Thumb is teaching me how to evade a tyrannical government”
Or maybe for when you sign up for Ukraine so the Russians might not get you (hypothetical situation)
@@AdrianFahrenheitTepesRussians rarely use that type of drone
@AdrianFahrenheitTepes The tyrannical government seems a lot more plausible in today's day and age.
However, they should show this to all UKR trainees.
@@rico-228 He covered the suicide bomb drones, surveillance drones, and missile armed drones in this video. Russia has those types
@@theblitz6838 yes they should
Notice the camera man didn't show up on thermal. thats because the camera man is invisible to thermal and impervious to all known forms of damage. This is a really solid tactic.
It's called "plot armor" 🤣🤣🤣
Also cameraman never dies.
We don't need Chuck Norris when we have the cameraman.
If the shit hits the fan I'll be the cameraman :P
@@WetaMantisYou must not have seen the cameraman sucked into the whirlpool...
Former midrange “drone” operator here. I don’t ever remember a time where I followed a target at night in inclement weather. To me, that’s the best time to do operations. Not to say that larger platform’s with multi million dollar payloads couldn’t find you but hey, everyone has a budget.
First of all, lower your voice….

We had a wanted criminal in our area being actively hunted by the Sheriff Dept's thermal drone. It's about the size of two adult bikes laid seat to seat. He used this exact tactic by jumping in a pond and using a large straw or Reed to evade the drone.
We’ve got evading dogs, now evading drones, when will we get to the important stuff like evading taxes?
Amen
😂
I concur
LMAO
Tax evaders are just heroes without capes
As a person who has worked with various drones over the last 8 years, both military and contractor, I can tell you that thermal blankets work, but you can't just cover up with them or drape them over you. As that blanket heats up, so will your thermal footprint. If you can, make an overhang of some sort where it's off your body, and air can flow through to keep it cool. If not, you'll eventually light up like a Christmas tree.
Like Ralf Machio's shower curtain Halloween costume in The Karate Kid?
I like how the thermal camera doesn't pick up Micha, the invisible cameraman outsmarts thermal drones!
Hmmm or maybe that was Micah! Idk, that is a little odd though
“B-roll” footage exists guys, haven’t seen that part yet but it very well could be that.
Micha is cold blooded, no thermal signature.
wait i just saw that, at 8:05
kinda weird I agree, maybe it was just reshot or edited in post to focus on Mike?
Nah I definitely know for a fact now, that was B-roll. They had Mike run the same line without micha there for the thermal. Not that hard to deduce. 😂😂😂

At least it's quick, probably wouldn't even realize, I'd imagine the last thing you'd hear was some sort of odd whooshing sound, but you'd be shaking hands with saint Peter before you even registered what it was. Fast as a bolt of lightning.
@@samaelsandalphon5600you wouldn’t hear anything dude. At least not after the detonation, the supersonic shock wave travels at about Mach 8 meaning your brain wouldn’t even have time to process a single thing after the detonation. And yeah it would be quick and painless as you would be turned into a vapor in milliseconds
@@adawg3032 I mean you might be able to hear it flying right before it detonates, for maybe a fraction of a second, then again, they can airburst those things too, so maybe not.
My jaw dropped seeing the water example. I did NOT expect the water surface to look pitch black right over your body.
Thank you for the great instructions.
Mike, video idea; bring in someone you've met or known through your military service who is a professional tracker. Put a go pro on yourself and also the Tracker to see how long you can evade them. That could show a lot of this training you bring us in a unique way. You could even have voiceover or subtitles for both so we can know what's going through each persons decision making in relative real time. No matter what, I love the channel my man!
I second this
That would be an awesome video. I really hope he sees this
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
One warning: this single video is already 40 minutes long. Mike has already said that some tracking exercises can last multiple days, so it is easy to expect 1h length per 24h of tracking, day and night. That said, if Mike is good enough to take 3-5 days to catch or lose, i would TOTALLY watch all 3-5h long video LMAO
That would be hella exciting for everyone
We did SERE training in the late 80s into the mid 90's but we didn't have drones back then. What a game changer. Absolutely terrifying.
We haven't even seen swarm strikes in warfare yet it really is terrifying
Another thing is most NATO countries will use their assets not for engagement but to drive the prey to the hunters. It may even flip back and forth between air or ground assets to flush out the target. Same with Western artillery, it will often drive you into a blocking force.
The thing about drones is a drone only has to get lucky once....drone swarms are coming soon and they can be on station 24/7....you would need to eat/sht and sleep while evading drone after drone day after day.
@@brokeandtired it really is terrifying it allows a possibility of eradication tactics that Ghengis Khan could have only dreamed of. I hope it's seen as nuclear weapons that becomes globally regulated. But then you have to worry about a global monopoly of use. Self replicating rouge swarms. I think it makes the possibility of EMP strike that much more likely. It really is a wild time!

There was a series on discovery back in the day, where an American ex military (forget what branch or unit) would travel around the world and challenge military trackers, border guards and police forces to try catch him. Seemed like the coolest game of hide and seek.

I've been watching a lot of battle footage from the war in Ukraine for the last two years. FPV drones and bo mber drones are going to be the biggest threat on the modern battlefield. They're scary as hell. Russia has taken hundreds of thousands of cas ualties.
Some tips: Spread out. The more people within expl osion radius of you makes you that more attractive of a target. Also, traveling through dense brush, while much harder, may make it harder to get you with an fpv drone, though you'll probably be at more of a disadvantage against a bom ber. Bonus if you can move through without leaving much of a trail. If you build and underground hideout, make an entrance tunnel with a sharp bend in it so the drone can't fly straight in and det onate.
Note: I'm no expert and don't pretend to be. These are just observations. Take with a grain of salt.
My dad passed away recently he is from Idaho unfortunately I’ve been gone being In the military, we used to bond over your videos and just wanted to say thanks Mike for keeping me sane and having something every Sunday to watch and enjoy and close to home.
Sorry to hear that brother.
I lost my mother recently its something you can never prepare for.

Prayers to you sir. It's been almost 2 years since I lost my dad to super cancer from the 💉 and it's hard, especially at first. Keep your head up and remember him fondly. Every day I think about him and what he would want for me and my family.
"Be as good as a soldier, be as practiced as them in fact be better than them; because one day your family might rely on you." Excellent advice that I needed to hear. At 31 and bearing regrets for never having enlisted, if I can't be a veteran I can be the best civilian I can be.

"Why is this information necessary?" Asked the guy who was in a coma last few years
I'm consistently amazed by the people who ask "why do you NEED to know this" about all sorts of things. What happened to human curiosity and the desire to learn?
@@chemistryofquestionablequa6252 people fear they're taken as some sort of "nefarious weirdo" by their peers if they inform themselves about these things. And some fear the conclusions behind the idea that they themselves might be responsible for their own safety and the safety of those who they supposedly love. They cannot pretend the world is fine and alright if needing to do these things might become a possibility. So they hide their own insecurity and fear behind an aura of smugness.
I had a friend over and I was talking with my brother about being prepared and all, and the friend said in a smug ironic voice "Wait you guys are prepping?" and we both responded shocked "You don't?" That "friend" didn't like that one bit and became really infuriated about how ridiculous we were and that all our "fantasies" won't come true and that everything is fine.
Man he got of like a bottle rocket, over us simply saying that we prep for different things.

Dude the level of production on this channel has gotten insane. Awesome job everyone that worked on this.

Its actually financed by the American government
@@jakedubs yeah cause this one question comes with so many details to think about, as exemplary here. That's simply all you thought about
Long way from “tip to butt”.
A snorkel in your kit might be an awesome addition even if it was just a length of pipe or an old piece of hose if you are in an area with water you know you can get into.
When I was in Afghanistan I watched on ISR feed an insurgent hide in a tiny bush for over 48 hours. You couldn't see his heat signature in the bush but we tracked him to the bush and he didn't leave for 48 hours. We eventually sent a team to the bush to apprehend him. We also had a COP infiltrated by 6 insurgents who lowcrawled warring wet blankets. The wet blankets masked thier thermal images from the RAID camera. Once they entered the COP and shot a few soldiers they were traped. They had no ware to run to and no ware to hide they were all killed. I also for my own curiosity tested thermal blankets to see if they could mask my heat signature. They mask my heat signature of a human body shape with that of a heat signature in the shape of a big solid rectangle without uneven heating. Not to many rectangles in nature. My suggestion if you are going to use a mylar blanket to mask your heat signature is to cut it into an irragular shape to try and break up unnatral lines. I would also use it in addition with a ghillie cape or blanket to create unequil heating so your not one solid temprature signature.
so there was a spider hole to a secret bunker under that bush
Dont drones have double vision cam? I am pretty sure that heat blanked would stand out in normal vision.
@@romualdaskuzborskis that's why you operate at night and use it in conjunction with a ghillie blanket or cape.
@@CurtisClinton77 dude was just hanging out in a bush, no hidy holes.
@@southwestoklahomaairsoftcl9889 that is a sound plan, as long as you have luxury of operating only at night. When drone is up usually that means its not you who picked the time of engagement.
Okay so just get whatever camo system the camera man was using, not once did I see him following mike around from the thermal drone....
😂
Just edit yourself out of the drone shots in real time. Easy peasy
The camera man never dies!
I spotted the camera guy in the end of a thermal shot standing straight up while grand was still sitting on the ground
@@Ilmaalus Camera man never dies but camera woman does! 🥶🙏💀

Do technologies like this use mainstream programming languages like Java or C/C++ or is it more secure to use something less common?
@@AFriendOfYours0most are using ots flight controllers except the military grade which have a couple proprietary fc systems. The software is written in various programming languages and the the fc itself can parse scripting languages like Lua, Java, and python. Some use an R-pi for onboard external processing as well. They're using primarily arm based processors. Some are running 8bit systems and some 32 and 64 bit.
20:02 rubbing that camo off the nose
talking about footsteps and concealability, I am pretty keen at tracking through Oregon brush. Real thick stuff in the mountains. Got grasses, rhodies, vine maple, berry bushes, large and medium sized trees. Elevation change can be relatively dramatic in some of my areas.
Can usually tell what type of game trail I'm on based on the width, height of broken branches or other 'spoor'. Deer, elk break branches at head height and occasionally scrape trees. Coyote, cougar walk lightly and are narrow. Coyotes sleep out in the open. Bears leave wide trails and are heavy. They also tear the hell out of the ground, sometimes looks like bark dust. Coyotes and cougars use bear trails sometimes, where rabbits, quail and berries can often also be found.
you pretty quickly can pick up on direction of movement, if you are leaving a physical path, make it confusing to follow. Green stuff in the open bends a certain way, even if it springs back up, it may develop a crease. Sometimes I shuffle through in those scenarios, without really 'scraping' my feet. As opposed to a crease you leave a smoother path. Sometimes you bend that grass backwards. Try different things, take advantage of what's around.
People are at a slight disadvantage being bipedal. Don't be afraid to get in that underbrush and bear crawl. It is difficult to actively track in a thicket. A good hunter may not track you through it, but rather meet you on the other side- or burn you out of it.
Get out there and play around. Black bear season. :)
Seeing Garandthumb go from teaching military to civilians is one of the greatest things I’ve seen. Thank you for all that you do! God bless!
Amen to that!

@@newFaction64 so would you rather no information at all or just complain about the skills he’s teaching you. Your mentality kills… literally.
It AMAZES me you tube actually pushes these videos out. I hope yall realize how lucky we are to have this info at our fingertips. This is a lifetime of a training and experience we get while laying in bed. Man this is good stuff. Keep it up dude
Speak for yourself. I'm on the toilet at work
it's a bunch of LARPing. NONE of the people in this video have any legitimate training nor combat experience evading thermal drones. The US military has literally never faced this threat and is completely delusional about it, and drones in general
Na its just common sense, break body contact with ambient temperature fabric/foliage/terrain and flank the flank (j-hook). Imagine not having drones with 40 feet of uhmwpe 300 lb test fishing line trailing behind them to trade pennies on the dollar with "superior" technology.
Knowledge is one thing…… getting out and practicing to gain first hand experiences is what makes the difference. I can almost guarantee 98% watching won’t.
@@EeZ3-808 You know, this would make a great airsoft event. Humans v humans with drones above.
I've been saying it for years, learn to hunt. It really really really teaches you 90% of these skills. If you're reading this, you're of the mindset that I'm talking to. GO HUNT. There's infinite reasons to do it, if you needed that last push, this is it. Go hunt. Get out there and fucking do it. You'll see how little you know, you'll see how ill prepared you are, you'll see everything. Get out there, hunt.
Been hunting, fishing, scouting, & trapping ever since I was old enough to. 62 now and I still like to practice being hard to track. I got to hang out with a government trapper as I was growing up. Dude could track a coyote across bedrock (slight exaggerating).
Correct, in my area the deer know me and don't run. But hunting will hone the stealth aspect.
Please don’t there’s already enough dudes in the mountains as it is
Too late, I have tons of property.@@RockyMountainWest13
Totally agree on going hunting. Camping.
If you're new to camping and hunting start one or two days at a time. A weekend. Later on, go longer.
As you wrote, "you'll see how little you know, you'll see how ill prepared you are, you'll see everything."
Best advice ever for hunting, camping, or in worst case scenario survival if shtf.
As an avid outdoors man and hunter, Thank you for putting it into what's so precisely worded.
All the best.
Those drones start around 200K.. So if they are using one.. They have a budget big enough to buy the Judges necessary to justify whatever happens to you.. So .. Good video.
By the way, you can put a couple sticks/branches into your backpack or system to hold that thermal Camo sheet just a couple inches over your head while moving and it will stay at ambient temp. And cover your backpack FFS.. shorten your stride as well when you can to keep your warm legs from flashing out from under. Lessons from Hog Hunting. Remember.. this is thermal.. and IR and UV are very different. One of them can see through those trees and shrubs.
I had the same idea about propping up the blanket. Might be able to repurpose some kind of mosquito netting hat. As to the backpack; wouldn't it be close to ambient temperature? That said, throwing the IR sheet over it would accomplish the same draping/distancing effect from your body. And taking the time to arrange the IR sheet draped above your body for further movement would be a better use of your time in an initial hide site than reapplying face camo as he does here.
My biggest takeaway. Every time a deer or elk evaded you it was a learning experience. They know all the tricks. Elk and occasionally deer are very skilled at using the J-hook.
So... _embrace the furry life?_
@@AmbuBadger no

CARPET SHOES! Take shag carpet. Turn it upside DOWN. Make a pair tying it over your boots with 5050 cord as laces. Sew the heel so that it cups your heel. I am a master professional tracker and this makes it much much more difficult to follow your tracks. Before using them wear them in the field to knock off the loose bits. These hold up very well for a few days. Google carpet shoes border. This will give you an idea of how they look.
thanks
Huh, that's like something used by tribe enforcers, feather anklets, so you can't track back to who did the punishment.
Even if you have a fair idea you can't know for sure.
cartel mules been doing this for years.
A master professional tracker? How did you acquire that title good sir
@RockyMountainWest13 the info is the point. Again Forrest for the trees
First, nothing but respect for Mike for bringing this content to us. I just need to say though, the most important things Mike said, were the things he barely touched on: 1. Get rid of, or find a way to truly shut off, your electronics. Remember, Off buttons are not off buttons. 2. Do not transmit any signals unless it is your last resort. 3. These small drones they were using may only have IR cameras, but your bigger group 4/5 aircraft have a lot more. I can't go into all of it, but I can say that you better stick to the trees at all times. That may not save you, but it will give you a better chance. 4. Finally, try not to put yourself high enough on the hitlist to warrant being hunted by drones as a guerilla warfare operative. If you do, you better be training your replacement as well.
Just use a counter UAV :) or an EMP bomb
So, treat it like it's a dragon.
@@GameplayRunner Literally even the watches they give soldiers are EMP hardened. Many of the larger (although still man portable: I'm not talking about Global Hawk even) are literally hardened to survive lighting strikes, which is also easier and cheaper than you would think.
You might not be able to talk about it but I can. SAR and AMMOR is pretty tricky to deal with.
thanks slime guy
When your boss is looking for weekend overtime volunteers.🤣
Multiple points: 1. I've heard of camera detectors like the ones sold to find voyeur hotel room camers being useful to detect high altitude drone presence. 2. Take a meat thermometer and tape it to a camo light blanket. Then, pick an evasion route along any stream or creek shore. Dunk the blanket in the stream and put it back over yourself. When you see the meat thermometer rise above the ground temperature, stop and re-wet your blanket.
You would be hiding from the drone, to an extent, but you would be much easier to track with conventional methods. The camera detector tip could be useful though.
reverse survival blanket!
Russian Spetsnaz have been wearing a cloak/poncho that greatly reduces their heat signature and makes it considerably more difficult to see them from the drones we've been seeing for the past few years. I'm not clear as to what additional tech they're using along with this in the form of detection, but they're certainly far more hidden from the sky than the average poor fool in the Russian military we're seeing on drone feeds every other hour on reddit.
what if the drone has a visual light camera ahaha
@@robinhigh8324 they still emit infrared
That opening scene and the juxtaposition of thinking you're top dog, looking at an ATAK to see you're being watched by an all-seeing eye, to immediately understand that you're just another cog in the military machine is amazing screenwriting!

They focused heavily on thermal, but most of these gov. drones have day camera and thermal and they will switch back and forth between them for better situational awareness. So just because you are hidden from the thermal I.E the water, doesn't mean you are hidden from the day camera.
They do have cloaks now. I'm pretty sure they work pretty good too.
The point is: hide from the full spectrum.
Remember this is to increase your chances of survivability. If you have a shitty hand of cards then there comes a point to accept and embrace defeat and even death. That's why,you have to live your fullest life happy with no regrets.
I'll bet by the time we have a conflict they'll have A.I. processing the images looking for humans automatically on top of that, if they don't already.
hiding from visual scan isn't a new skill that needs a special video
I remember these guys flying this around my house. Being the suspicious person I am, I followed it back and found them. It's a pretty cool drone. I got to pick it up and check it out. If you guys read this, thanks for letting me hang for a bit.
seems like we just lowered the chances of being caught from 99.8 to 98.4
I mean, optimistically, it could be as low as 90%
War is not as dangerous as people think. 90% of the time you're just walking, and engagements typically happen from pretty large distances. As long as you paid attention in training and aren't downright stupid it's actually very probable that one can survive modern warfare. It's not like it was back in the day, where warfare was much more direct and you had to pray everyday to not get shot in the face
@@somethingjustgonewrongyeah9079this statement only applies to a war in which one side (e.g. the US) has overwhelming force, and that you’re on that side. In Ukraine, estimates are 350,000 Russian troops killed which is > 87% of the number that invaded.
Odds are you will die in a battle of equal force.
@@b8888whale how bout Ukraine's losses? Ya know, the one that isnt doing meat wave assaults?

@@UnyieldingMass they're definitely having lower losses but still, being in defensive positions under artillery barrages etc it is also very dangerous and worst part is there's little you can do to shield yourself. Deadly lottery
The drone sound is the scariest sound on earth when you don’t want to hear it. Been there. Such an unfair thing to evade but it’s absolutely doable with all these tips what an excellent video as always.
Not going to lie, as a combat marine that served in iraq, almost 20 years ago, this new stuff scares me. Most of my training was CQB, kicking in those doors. I did do some moutain training in the marine corps moutain training area, bridgeport CA but nothing like this. Im picking up what your putting down.

Great video, I wasn’t expecting the water to be that effective against thermal.
Take care,
Be safe.
Thank you.
Mike mentioned something on another SERE video that no matter what you have for concealment, how you travel, when or where, if the pursuers have well trained dogs, it’s game over. Impactful statement.
Refer to the "Cool Hand Luke" training syllabus
no it's not
Thats when you do a J hook maneuver and do an ambush
Or a reverse J hook get to the cement city
This is why we need War Chimps
TWO HUGE THINGS NOT MENTIONED THAT MAY SAVE YOUR LIFE AS AN OPERATOR. Two amazing tactics I learned from the Taliban. I was stationed in Afghanistan in late stage doing ISR and learned 2 amazing tactics that can be imployed in Gorilla Warfare. 1. Planning attacts around events. It was common that the Taliban would plan attacks around religous hours and weddings, allowing them to strike targets, and immediately run into Mosques or crowds during prayer time. They would fade in with the crowd and leave with the crowd. Id tract them into these events after they striked, know they were the target, HOWEVER, thermal does not allow for easy identification. Wed only be able to tract based on thermal outline, size, and GAIT (the way you walk). The way you walk is so important. Typically leaving the events they would not split up, and walk out together with the same gait allowing me to still tract them. HOWEVER, even so, there was no definitive way to positively identify them as the target so authorization to strike would not be given. 2. Planning attacks around inclimiate weather. The taliban would only attack during bad weather or what we call RED air. This means the weather is to volitile to fly in. If there is bad weather, air assests like winged aircraft (F15 Strike Eagle ect) and smaller drones will be grounded. Fixed wings cant fly because the planes will literally ice over from the moisture and cold at high altitudes. This means during inclimate weather you can move freely. Typically the Taliban would only attack on these days, when wed have our guard down because of the bad weather, they were using it to their advantage to suprise and evade undetected. THESE 2 TACTICS ALLOWED THEM TO STAY IN THE FIGHT UNTIL WE WITHDREW FROM AFGHANISTAN. We need to learn from and replicate our enemies tactics because they work.
Really solid info! Thanks a bunch!
gorilla warfare
RED AIR I like that phrase describes it well. Way back in the day, messenger pigeons and riders could not just be sent out because of bad weather or would take longer to reach their destinations.

Commercial UAS pilot in the UK here. I had an interesting conversation with an SAS commander a while back about defeating modern drone strikes. It was a really tricky problem to solve but basically came down to "Anything semi-auto in it's flight control and long range, we can pretty easily defeat once we know where it is.However, anything with manual controls and significantly high thrust-to-weight, we have a lot less useful tools to work with."
That tracks as a lot of the showcased 'counter-UAS' technologies he talked me through (without much detail) are against semi-auto aircraft like single prop fixed wing or DJI drones. However, with skilled pilots and custom built FPV quads that can do 100+ mph and have a zero-to-max speed basically instantly (
These traitors are why we are in this position.
Yeah, the channel Civ Div has talked about similar stuff. They have to go full manual with their drones in Ukraine to defeat jamming.
@@Iceman259 Manual control won't defeat jamming at all. It just gives you magnitudes more agility than the likes of a DJI drone where it flies itself and you just to instruct to move forward/back/left/right/up/down. What evades EM jamming/directed RF is having drones that can fail-over to their own autopilot and fly themselves once they lose receiver connection. At the minute this is usable for fixed targets- In a similar way to striking a building or immobile armour peice. The terrifying advancement would be AI based autopilot where it can be instructed to seek out a humanoid target in a geofenced area. Because once we have that active in the field, an enemy can deploy a thousand of them in a swarm working together to target and kill infantry at scale without having to put a soldier on the ground. That kind of tech is not even that far out, with a lot of R&D being done on working designs. Right now the problem is processing power when the chips are that small (little ARM processors at the minute) but I'm sure CN and the US won't have an issue putting in a custom order with Nvidia to get what's needed made.
@@_burdonce they lose rssi they'll fail over to stabilized mode and depending on the fc programming either loitering, return to launch, or rendezvous. Jamming the rc, gps and vid feed freqs should go a long way towards threat mitigation. The second piece should counter the optics, can't fly blind. Something VLF could be used to disrupt the mems gyros in the flight controller and that would take any rotary wing craft down. Fixed wing would still Glide but could be countered directly with an armed fixed wing craft flown by a competent operator if a spotter can assist with target acquisition.

A piece of advice about electronics, particularly smartphones is turn them off even in a Faraday pouch. Once they lose all radio and GPS connectivity, they turn their radios up to full power to try and reestablish a link. This kills batteries super fast.

💯 Agree
I was just the Guinea Pig for my local Town PD testing their Individual FLIR/Thermal Handhelds in a woodland/urban environment. Very interesting results, turns out old knowledge from the late 90s SERE school can hide you super good enough. Now if OpFor has it on a Helo and can bring a lot of personnel to a specific point and saturate an area in a short amount of time you need to either get rid of the observing device or become invisible quick. But having said that, the better you know your AO the better your chances are of evading.
There's my two cents, you're welcome Internet

You’d be surprised how many bad guys get away from us even with thermal in the air. We almost never get it up in time
Facts
@Shooter_ready556 A couple weeks back we had a methed out dude strip down and cover himself in mud like in predator. They watched him on the drone as he did it, and he ended up getting away!
He got caught a bit later when he popped back up walking down the road covered in mud, but he did evade 3 drones and 2 dogs.
Thank you... Being out of the loop for 20 years is the equivalent of being back in the 1860's..
This video is great, it covers all the main points really well. One small thing I would add is to mind your shadow, especially in the morning and evening, basically any time the sun isn’t directly overhead. There have been times where I could not see the target I was looking for directly due to top cover, but was able to spot their shadow peeking out. Laying down makes it hard to discern the difference between you and the ground or foliage, but if you’re sitting up or standing it’s pretty easy to tell. If you’ve been sitting in the same spot for a while, your shadow will also make a temperature difference on the ground, so it’s visible in IR as well. Also, when you’re hiding under a rock or bushes or anything close to the ground, try not to disturb or dig up the ground outside of the cover. The ground underneath the top layer of soil is a lot cooler, and is surprisingly visible in IR for a decent amount of time.

Note on the water 'rationing'.
There is 1 thing that helps significantly in retaining more water and that is breathe through your nose, both in and out if the situation (physical exertion) allows it.
Very true, also not yapping helps but try telling my wife that
100% and training at the limit of barely being able to keep up respiration by breathing through your nose is great cardio training for hiking, rucking and jogging. I've also seen some studies that say that staying at that level of exertion is where your body uses fat most efficiently as a caloric resource so you can drop body fat in training and pack more efficient food sources in operation.
I wear a stillsuit
@@sterlingreece9355 same.
Also...little known fact...If you turn 68 degrees when you need to fart, it'll save calories, and reduce your heat signature. Also will give you winning lottery numbers.
I would also recommend following S2 Underground for more content like this. As a former US Army Intelligence Specialist his video on drone evasion is top notch. His daily Intel briefings (the wire) are also a great way to get a snap shot of current domestic and international events.

All ”thermal camo” is based on the same principle: keep it away from your skin/clothing and it shows up as the ambient temperature. Insulation hides you, but obviously wearing a winter sleeping bag in arid summer environment isn’t the greatest experience 😅 Also, thermal doesn’t pierce glass or plastic, so there are scenarios where you can see a thermal drone but they can’t see you.

20:02 Rubbing your nose is bad for your face camo.

I loved when he literally shone the mirror through the tree canopy 😂😂
He's addressing the people watching so he is likely putting more focus on staying animated for the camera then he is evading at that moment. If I had the mirror out I'd probably lay on my back to point it at the ground, and he probably would too if in actual danger. As for the nose touching, that is just going to happen sometimes. You're sweaty as fuck, got a bunch of crap on your face, and are stressed out. You subconsciously touch your face all the time without knowing. That's a big reason people prefer face coverings I think. What do I know though, I am just a guy trying to apply common sense to a situation.
Ten seconds in I've already barricaded my windows and rolled aluminum foil from ceiling to floor. I don't know the whole content but the music and opening scene made me believe every conspiracy I've ever heard! 😂

I teach sUAS design and have numerous Radiometric and other sensor certs. IMHO small unmanned vehicles have fundamentally changed the way we can now employ infantry or armor on the battle filed. The first time( and this was before the laws changed about 8 years ago) I flew a fixed wing seven miles away and dropped eggs on my mother in laws car as it sat in her driveway I knew we were in for something big. That was 6 miles BLOS with a foam core fixed wing PNP platform running a $75 dollar flight controller, a $200 1.2 ghz video link and a sub hundred dollar 433mhz control link carrying around 1.5lbs of eggs. The maximum range on that setup was a little under 12 miles with a good helical on the GCS. All that capability with off the shelf mid range kit.
I don't think many folks realize how frightening the implications of this readily available technology is.
well this has made me pack a snorkel in my evasion kit.
Love this series. Would love to see this in a series where it’s you vs an actual group in a competition. Could be each video is a different environment and see whether or not you survive. Could even throw in a prize to the winner at the end of that series.
I think a competition, with set rules and structure, would give a false impression of the difficulty of SERE in action. Every real situation is going to be different, with each survivor having varied levels of gear, varied levels of head start vs their pursuers, in varied environments, and with very different concerns depending on the enemy's capabilities and all the other factors.

@@winstonchurchill8300As I Christian do you believe that you should accept and allow violence against your family and the flock? If someone is an immediate threat you wouldn't act? To me that is cowardice as a man and a Christian.
Turn the other cheek is commonly thought to mean do not trade insults with another. Sage advice.
Now look at
Exodus 22:2-3
This is a pretty clear acceptance of self defense.
Luke 11: 21 Another versus on being armed
Luke 22: 36 If you do not have a sword, buy one.
Psalm 144:1 Blessed by the Lord my strength, teacheth my hands to war, my hands to fight.
Mark 3: 27 No man shall enter another's house and spoil his good unless he bind the strong man first.
Christian Pacifism is a big miss. We should not use self defense nor protective action against another with vengeance in our hearts but protection of those weaker and less able is what men are called to do. I don't believe we should ever look for a fight but if you are faced with a predator in your flock, doing nothing is unacceptable.
Perfect example I'll give in a modern context. Someone enters a church as an active threat and willing to eliminate members of that church. Should you turn the other cheek and let evil take those who stand beside you? Absolutely not. Those who are capable and willing should engage that threat not for vengeance of their action but to protect those who are unable to protect themselves.
While many people are not willing/able to help or protect those people. Many of us have it in our heart to willingly risk or even lay down our own lives to protect those we love, our family's as well as our brothers and sisters of faith.
I truly hope you consider what I'm saying as a fellow Christian and someone who isn't going to ask you or anyone else in a church if you think we should stop evil from hurting someone in that sanctuary. I will protect those who can't protect themselves, God willing 🙏
I say this as a Christian, someone whose been sh0t in a random act of violence, and I've have treated unarmed strangers who have been sh0t using the medical training I have. I've shared this medical training with countless others since 2017 to help better prepare them for the worst day on the job or the worst day in their sanctuary. Rule number 1 of that training is stop the threat so we have less causalites to deal with. Then render aid to those most seriously wounded.
(Yes I was paid for much of that training work but also volunteered many hours to help others who couldn't afford it. Those trained unpaid are in the 100s trained and paid in the 1000s) It's not and never should be vengeful when stopping a threat but reduction of those hurt by an evil person/s bent on hurting as many people as possible. I have no hatred in my heart, it is stopping the situation before more people are lost. If the threat is next in line of people I treat, yeah I'm going to treat them as well as long as I can safely do so. I take no joy nor would I look forward to being put in a position to use force against another. I also could never live with my own guilt standing by and doing nothing while others are hurt or worse.

The water camouflage was better than the trees, wow, that was superb demostration.
Worked very well on thermal, but I think that even most entry-level thermal drones, like the Mavic 3 Thermal, are equipped with dual sensors. It would have been nice to show both images. In brown water, this might work, but in crystal clear water, this would give you away.
@Homie111092 if you are already spotted then yes you are right. If you can get into a river before spotted you might be okay as the majority of drone operators scan on thermal.
The good way is to find a three on the water to get in...and also get out.
Thermal energy hits a wall when it meets the surface of water. But visible light, while refracting, continues to pass on.
Getting into the water at night may be the best option. Then again, if you need to submerge yourself in order to E&E, you're already in a very bad spot.
