GreenVader: Just watched that video again and it has some great stuff I forgot. Like putting duct tape on your shoes to save yourself a conviction if you're caught in the area coming back to your plants. Of course, then explain the duct tape on your shoes. I say wear a different pair of shoes every time you visit your plants. Go to the thrift stores for cheap hiking boots. It's brilliant, you're welcome. :razz:

Love the binoculars idea, but needs to be taken a few steps further. Wear binoculars on a neck strap, and hold a bird watching book in your hands as you hike to your plots. Read the book thoroughly and become an expert in bird watching purely for back story in case you are questioned by the law or land owners, then bore them with bird knowledge until they let you go. Don't wear a pot leaf shirt. Look amazingly innocent and unaware of your plants until you're right on them. Like, oh hey, what are those? I was looking for birds, but since I'm here I'll just water these plants I know nothing about.

Oh, and keep and eye out for Sasquatches...

I can't lie... For sheer fun... I think I'm going to plant a guerilla garden this year. Maybe like 6 Mrs. Just sounds like fun... And with any success? I've going to be strapped for next winter with lbs. Any bad luck? My babies will be found and destroyed. Welp, worth a try. lol

I'm glad everyone is finding this useful. I wish my life wasn't so hectic or I would be able to keep up

Another good water source is setting up near a natural spring that runs down through woods never close to any point that people might see it they usually run through hollows which no one likes to go hiking through or even venture into
 
The transport of soil, plants and water is a combination of blood, sweat and tears. It sucks but it has to get to the site somehow. One trick im doing is having my plants in party cups plastic cups ya know, and carrying it to the sites. Last season i pulled my back and everything else carrying huge buckets with 3 ft tall deligate beatuies. but nice thread Balzac im just now reading THumbs up my friend!

I have a detection question. I will probably just scout and prep this year, but I was thinking about using vegetative deterrents to keep people and animals out of my little patches. Has any one tried using stinging nettle or other plants to deter visitors? What success or issues have you had with that?

water is important.

I would never guerilla grow unless I lived here, in hawaii. The rains take care of watering for me, but access to my spot is very guarded due to the entrance to the trail being in a neighborhood cul-de-sac

So I cant haul anything up really, this includes soil an water. I try to make my own soil with natural ingredients from the forest and native soil. I also hike in small amounts of chemical fertilizer. (16-16-16 commercial basic nutes).

Right now I have 6 golden tiger. 2 of them are 3 feet, 3 of them are smaller, about a foot each (due to unfinished soil mix and ph issues)

and one of them is about 1.5 ft. all in native soil pretty much. They love rain thats for sure. Will post pics here later.

But, those helicopter patrols! I was at a water barrel my friend had 100 feet above the river. He had another at 50 feet above, staging it up with pumps. We were about 50 feet down the little trail he made, crawling at some points. (on Kauai)

And damned, if this black and white didn't buzz up the river valley and turn around. I had some binoculars around my neck checking birds and such. I scoped over to where the heli had come to a hover, about 200 yards away.

Wow! There was a law dog with his binocs, looking back at me. He couldn't see the water barrel, the other guy or the little crawl trail.

It was just me on what looked like a steep and very over covered slope. So, I just waved and turned to study some birds in a nearby tree. Then I pointed at the birds, and soon they moved away.

That is right. And Jefferson wrote fondly smoking hemp and gazing over his domain at Montecello.

Washington and Franklin also, I think.

Our country was founded by stoners and is the most successful example of self rule, yet.

Don't smoke before trying to plan. It shows through.

I'm wasn't smoking!

I'm trying to keep a neighbor from trekking through an area of my family's land. If it deterred deer as well, I would be golden. But I want it to seem like a part of the natural habitat to keep LEO from investigating.

Thank you for the very detailed information. I would like to add that using Google Maps for aerial recon will help you determine a good site as in density of ground cover, nearby water sources and of course, access route/escape route. I disable my iphone tracking feature in the settings menu but still don't trust downloading images from google while at a site, too easy for law enforcement to tie you to the location. I think this year I might buy one of those remote control helecopters that has video cam built in, about $100.00. It would be a good tool to monitor how the trails look from the sky or anything else that might tip off the grow site. In Vietnam I used cheap pocket radios preset to our PRC11 radio (AM) frequency, trip wire to a plastic spoon, flat end between battery and contact. When something popped the wire beyond the listening post we could click the handsets and get the VC to think they were flanked. I tell you, that was the best six bucks I ever spent keeping them off our position:)
A guy could use that to secure the trail behind you as your working only set the radio station and turn the volumn to max, somebody is on the trail you will know well in advance
