Spider Holes For Concealment
If you were being pursued by an aggressor or group of villains, would you be able to escape them? I’ll bet you could if you had already dug some fox holes for hiding.
Spider holes for Concealment
Imagine this scenario. You live on the edge of town. Late at night the concentration camp vans roll into your neighborhood. They are rounding up everyone. You’ll flee out the back door and into the wood behind your home. Very original idea. You are now doing the exact same action as everyone else in your neighborhood. Very predictable behavior. The “bad” guys have already thought about this, and have plans to cut you off and round you all up. Now think about this alternate scenario. You live on the edge of town. Late at night the concentration camp vans roll into your neighborhood. They are rounding up everyone. You’ll flee out the back door and into the wood behind your home. Very original idea. You are now doing the exact same action as everyone else in your neighborhood, except, you pop a commercial smoke grenade to cover your retreat and….. You came out to the woods (or country side) previously, with a folding shovel (or the Cold Steel Special Forces Shovel) in your backpack, and dug some nice sized foxholes for hiding. You made sure they were under fallen trees or in dense thickets. After digging those holes, you made some “lids” of plywood or woven vegetation with plants and dirt covering the lids you can open or close the holes, to hide items… or hide yourself. With the lids in place the hole disappear and are invisible to the naked eye. This is why we chose to dig our fox holes under fallen trees or in dense thickets, so people won’t accidentally stumble into them, discovering your secret hiding place or getting injured.

You can tell they are serious hunters and finders by their professional looking hats!

Seems like the smoke bomb would be counter-productive, and the dog thing- why wouldn’t they bring them if they expected everybody to run into the woods? One other thought- tall trees could provide an alternative hideout, if you live where they do. Here in AZ, the washes are full of nooks and crannies that can be adapted for spider holes, if you don’t mind sharing them with snakes, scorpions, and oh yeah – SPIDERS.
why would you dig those holes? will you be sitting in them for 8 hours a day? what happens when it rained. your hole is just a mudbath if it hasn’t collapsed
