I can offer insight to each maneuver you touched on there. I run a cell phone tracking company. Turning off your phone isn’t enough. Not for certain trackers (Mine doesn’t work if you turn it off, but with access levels that can be granted)(I’ll NEVER get those access levels)

I’m focusing on food production this year. I’m a machinist, and a technology guy. I can fix anything but if I touch a pepper it turns into a machine screw. I’ve got the worst green thumb of anyone I know. I simply don’t get a THING right.

I’m with you on the gardening. Still time to work on skills, for now. Have you joined the gardening ping list?

” I would not transmit any data until well clear of the trouble “

Dead wrong approach. Worrying loved ones will go out and search for you no matter what. They always do.

ALWAYS communicate your status!

It isn’t like you are some kind of international spy with the bad guys looking for you so you better stay quiet.

Talking about “Grey man” first though... Grey man is a multifaceted tactic that must observe everything - including the way that you walk and your body language.

If you meet with someone in town and your pockets are empty, your tells can easily announce that you have dropped your bag just outside of town and it’s full of goodies.

Stand in front of the mirror and make yourself look REALLY sick and degraded. Convince yourself that there is nothing left. Trick yourself into being that man. Cry when you see a gun. Act, act, act.

A gun carrier who is experienced will NEVER carry himself the way that a begging, worthless pauper would. You know that at your hip you have the answer to any question. This is your tell.

I’m playing around with the idea of making my wife a “Phantom”. Where she gets the gilly suit, she gets the good rifle and she basically follows my limping, un-armed walking corpse along the tree line. That way I can trust her to take out issues without being seen.

But to date, I’m taking a housewife and training her to be a sniper. It’s very risky.

Especially if she doesn’t like you as much as you think she does. ;)

I think it’s good advice to attempt to outsmart/out maneuver the trouble. As long you’re maintaining a cool head you have an edge already.

The hardware is a last resort.

It doesn’t sound like it was much fun.

[cell phone turned off]

That doesn’t do a thing, especially with newer phones.

Thanks for the ping. I tend to stay away from almost all crowds/gatherings these days. Still go to the grocery store, drive through, or restaurant now and then, but mostly just stay home.

We are still eating on a side of beef we bought last fall, growing our own veggies and berries, and have canned pork, chicken, and turkey, so fresh milk and cheese and restock whatever we use from pantry is about all we have to buy right now.

Will likely order another beef this fall.

lol

Don’t worry - what could possibly go wrong? If you want to see some really bad acting - go to about 19 minutes and 30 seconds and prepare for the next 30 to 90 seconds of bad acting. Just showed this to someone last night.

Will removing the battery make the phone untraceable?

Assuming there’s no capacitors or capacitor capability, the last known location of the phone will be where you removed a battery with at least a partial charge.

IOW, if you have collection of old phones, like the one I retired last year, it would have pinged until the battery died (any capacitor would have run out eventually, too).

Capacitors (as I understand it) gave us “instant-on” TV where they didn’t “warm up” - storing energy. This is why it was dangerous to work inside an unplugged instant-on TV. Capacitors were also a way for storing energy for shooting electric-based power. I heard of satellite applications.

I’m sure we have people more articulate in this category here if they can add comments.
