I life in Central Europe and I go /out/ on regular basis. I stick to the woods. But there is every 80 meters a forest path for woodcutting, and every 120 meters you will crash into strollers, joggers, bikers ... right into zombies.
In Autumn/Winter you can see almost 80 meters. The Trees lost their leafs. No place to hide. So I search for small pine groves. They cover pretty good. And they are anyway much better for making fire under wet conditions.
Last time I almost got caught. I had a fire running. The whole non-Pine area was smoked. After about 2 hours a car drove in. They stopped in front of my position, but they where 80 meters away.
My heart begun to run like a rabbit!
Omg the Fire!
Omg the Smoke!
Luckily the fire was again almost done. I calmed myself down. So I killed it with some water. The car was still there. And my meal was still cold. I couldn't hear or see any movements. But the car was still there. So I decided to brake down my Bivouac Shelter. I stayed close to the Ground.. kept low profile. For the tarp, I use natural sisal cords, well it was not a big loss to cut them. Only problem was to remove the Hammock. The Knots where shrunken together. They delivered me again a few panic minutes.
Well. I escaped into the wild. And I ate my cold meal while walking back to the next village. Best backed Beans since ages.
