What is a good idea to help camouflage a Trail?

Snag yourself a giant trash barrel. Lug that thing out there. Rig a rain tarp up in a tree with a feeder hose going into the trash barrel. Bam you got water. An hour long downpour will fill up a 75 gallon barrel easily.
If you're dead set on carrying water then hit up some food joints for their fryer oil jugs. They come in 4 to 5 gallon jugs with awesome plastic handles on the top. Think of a 5 gallon milk jug except the handle is on the top of it. Protip leave the thick cardboard on. Spray paint also sticks to the plastic very nicely so you can camo those things up and hang em in a tree when you're done.
If you wanna be super lazy about it go to anywhere that sells auto accessories and get one of the gas siphoning tool things so you don't have to stand there and fill it up from the creek. You just pop the end hose in the water. The top into the jug. Pump it a few times and play the waiting game for a few minutes. Spend 10$ > breaking your back.

Find u a old tree stand deer stand ladder stand make it look like that trail was used by a hunter to go to that stand
it is very hard to cover a trail depending on where the trail is landscape wise

I use existing deer trails, then veer off at a different location each visit...winding my way around trees and shrubs to create more deer looking paths.

Yes, it's a PIA when hauling shit...but even the hunters cannot detect my presence.

When close to plants, I use natural detection methods...such as placing small shrub branches across entrance point to plants on my way out. While they appear to belong there, I'll know if anyone moves them walking by...while they won't even notice.

The trouble with that is some one will look to steal your stand ladder

If you make it look like someone was interested in setting up a stand their, The hunters are going to think that that the spot is likely good for some reason that they likely cant see , and search the area well trying to find what the "other hunter saw'' , Then they will find your path at least

Since most of you guys nemesis's seem to be hunters trappers

It would likely be very benifical to learn tracking and stalking at least
