Scorched Earth is also a technique used to "herd" the enemy into specific target zones where their activities may be more easily monitored. Everything that can not be carried, previously squirreled away, diverted, or used is destroyed, to lessen the chance of 'the enemy' gaining control of it. Smokey the BEAR prescribes controlled burns as a means to manage forest overgrowth, and encourage sapling growth. We have become accustomed to "prescribed burns", and all Forest Rangers and Park Service Mgrs assure us that these controlled burns are definitely to prevent forest fires, however I don't recall ever seeing it on such a mass scale, and carried out with such "organized quickness" Also, I consider the drones. this just seems to be an extreme amount of burn.

(OP) User ID: 26212828 Venezuela02/12/2015 01:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | One probably will not realize the significance of this, until a time comes when a little extra coverage would come in handy. "scorched-earth policy made it impossible to live off the land" (An Idiots guide to the 20th century Alan Axelrod) Well, Ok, I probably shouldn't be concerned, except when I consider the state of the world, and the state of america and some information that has been verified regarding laws that have been passed to quell the populace. Burning up all the wood cover does not appear as threatening when it is done in the name of the environment, when the claims are made that all the burning is occurring to help prevent future forest fires. I have noticed prescribed burns in the past, no big deal, except they were not done on such a mass scale, and on such large amounts of acreage. I have noticed a lot of the areas being burned are areas where people are known to camp, areas away from populated urban areas, scenic roads, marshes where tall grasses provide cover while in a boat in swimming in the water, and areas next to or close to Military facilities.

(OP) User ID: 26212828 Venezuela02/12/2015 01:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So What's the deal with Trees? Living trees actually emit infrared! and the more living foliage, the more a human's infrared signal is covered, the foliage blends into the our infrared signature, making a human less likely to be detected by drones or planes. Also, the more coverage an area has, the cooler the ground and surrounding muds and marsh will be, and its the blending of heat that does the trick. Apparently, not even modern technology can get through trees; rooftops, boat covers, sheet metal, concrete can all be imaged through, but trees can not.

Quoting: Cthullu Living trees actually emit infrared! and the more living foliage, the more a human's infrared signal is covered, the foliage blends into the our infrared signature, making a human less likely to be detected by drones or planes. Also, the more coverage an area has, the cooler the ground and surrounding muds and marsh will be, and its the blending of heat that does the trick. Apparently, not even modern technology can get through trees; rooftops, boat covers, sheet metal, concrete can all be imaged through, but trees can not. Also, a high foliage environment creates more ground humidity, which increases infrared scattering, like snow and ice crystals do. However the difference is, in a cold snowy environment, body temps are so much higher than the surrounding area, so generally, easily detected. a way around this is 'shape shifting' or creating a diversion target area with mylar. it would require setting up some mylar because it is detectable by infrared, and then getting the body temp down to an extreme low, like 'ice bucket' low for at least 5 mins, and moving somewhere away from target area.
