Really, the best bet is to set everything you see on fire. Every private citizen needs to have this plan. Burn houses, vehicles, burn it all. The only way I think you can have a chance to survive is to fill the atmosphere with so much smoke that you can offer yourself some protection. Maybe if we are lucky an asteroid or meteor strike will happen, or maybe a volcano will start belching, along with the earthquakes that are already in The Book. Look up homeland security // blimps. Eleven blimps, each one is seventeen times larger than the goodyear blimp, with cameras that cover 650 miles, and are hovering over us right now, running on solar power, un-manned. Now, why did they give law enforcement all the old tv system?

Interesting. We built an enclosed heated porch around our house. One of the things I was told was the heated space would help mask/blur our heat signature inside the house. That was incorrect?

Our thermal camera's be good ta a tenth of a degree. The closer yer body temp be ta the ambient temp the less of yer heat signature will show. But there ain't much a anythin what will make ya invisible ta them camera's.

Yeah, ya can see foot prints on carpet, hand prints on walls. There a neat tool an perty hard ta fool.

Cover your shelter with six inches of water. Reflects radar, defeats thermal and provides limited protection from radiation. Can be used to sustain life, water your garden and your livestock.

Sounds like a good idea.

Materials reflect and radiate heat at different rates. Even the leaves of different species of trees radiate heat at different rates.

Erecting a space blanket and attempting to hide your heat signature underneath it doesn't work. Your heat will radiate out the sides. If the blanket is touching you, a hot spot will show where it touches. Even if no heat is radiated, being that different materials radiate at different levels, the rectangle shape of your blanket can be picked up by a good IR operator. Even disturbed earth will show.

Out foxing the goon squad and their latest generation IR capability will be very difficult for most, if not impossible.

we use our device during and after a fire to find hot spots. we have found some spot still "hot after putting 1000's of gallons of water on the house. even water will absorb the heat around it.masking against these devices means to enlarge the heat area to the point that it does seem out place or looks to large to be a single person. to me the best place would be a hollow tree.

you make a mouse trap they just make a better mouse, try and get your hands on this stuff
http://www.defensereview.com/blucher-systems-ghost-and-spectralflage-multispectral-combat-camouflage-fabric-technology-anti-thermalir-infrared-soldier-camouflage-and-vehicle-camouflage-for-21st-century-warfare-operations/

and use it with a space blanket, space blankets must be mylar one side, tarp material on the other, this slows down the heat sinking through.

layer, space blanket followed by ghost suit material if you can get it, if not use the material found in ghillie suits and put a spacer of some sort between the ghillie and the space blanket, this allows for air to flow between the two and keeps heat sig's down, the trick to this is to deploy it right when you need it, no sooner as heat transfer begins to happen and it's only a matter of time until anything you do becomes a white hot beacon for them to track.

that's what i've come up with in my research on this topic at least.

without


nothing but space blanket

also this for some reason

Forgot about this thread. lol

Yeah, well the thermal pics show that it seems to help, but not totally rid you of your heat signature.
