Site selections are the keys to success and minimizing risk. When that is done properly, harvesting and transport is the easy part.im planning on doing a grow this summer and have been doing a lot of research but have found very little on the subject of harvest time. i was wondering what some good ways to transport/disguise your crop would be.
Any positive input helps
I got caught with my pants down on one site, had 2 day packs with me and it wasn't enough. I intentionally used this area b/c it is surrounded by thorny berry shrubs and trees, place is a bitch to get in and out of. No way I was going to make 2 trips so I threw everything in a trash bag...shit got tore to hell trying to get out of there. Fortunately, I had extra bags.when I had to haul large amounts through the woods i used duffle bags. any type of plastic bag (even the thick ones) tend to snag and rip on your way out no matter how careful you try to be. Hockey bags can be usefull too, I guess it all depends how much your trying to bring out of the woods.
*Clicks like*...never thought of that one. That's the other problem with packs, the bottom branches get compressed.I use a double bed doona/quilt cover and fill it up, lets the dope breath in the cotton and is still strong enough to protect it on the way out(carry it like santa), and it holds about 30-40 pound of wet dope. Backpacks are too small and stuffy .
Excellent point. I know around here if a cop sees a vehicle parked along side of the highway they usually stop to investigate. That's why I don't go at night I feel like it looks more suspicious.I got caught with my pants down on one site, had 2 day packs with me and it wasn't enough.

My problem is never people in the woods etc, but rather where to park the car. 80% of the potential grow sites I scope out have to be eliminated b/c of risky parking issues.
Binoculars and camera are my best friends, the camera always gives you a reason to be there. On one occasion last Summer, I was parked legally watering. When I began to walk out of there, I spotted a cop parked doing speed patrol and had to hide the water jugs. Then I just walked right out with the digital camera...even said hello to the pig just to complete the nature lover cover...lol.Excellent point.

Yeah and you can wash it so its clean every harvest, there is some compressing but the cover spreads out so its more even.*Clicks like*...never thought of that one. That's the other problem with packs, the bottom branches get compressed.
Ditto, then I of course pull the whole stalk/roots and leave the area as I found it.Yeah I leave all that stuff out there. I usually get ride of my fan leaves and any leaves without resin too.
