Mountain folks have the advantage. It’d take time to get that many drones up and running and searching. Plus area of dense forest like where I live. Just as an example. A PVC pipe sealed on one end, a screw cap on the other. A dissembled M1 carbine oiled and vacuumed packed along with ammunition. The PVC pipe is slightly heated, the package inserted and the screw cap tightened. Bury it vertical. You’re looking at a metal object buried like three feet down with a diameter of say two or three inches (breech housing and trigger assembly) then broadcast small nails in a wide area,or not. My family has talked about various hiding methods and this was just one.
>>Mountain folks have the advantage.
They certainly do. They have lots of hiding places and the government will treat them like small islands controlled by Japanese in WW2—just ignore them because they can’t affect anything. So, they can sit up in the hills for years and be statistically insignificant until they die of old age or disease (because when they come down out of the hills, they are on the government’s turf).
I’m talking about the suburban and close-in rural folk (i.e the overwhelming majority of Americans who can make a difference). The urban people are a lost cause, so I exclude them.
