[@aprilk141]

Great video so far. You sure do learn a lot about people by just being quiet and watching them. One of the funniest things to me and I am not an old timer yet, but the amount of people who stop in aisles sidewalks and parking lots to just remove all situational awareness and stare at those little black rectangles.

[@elusiveeskimo3013]

Practical advice, well presented. I live near a tourist camping area in the mountains so practice by slipping around the various camp sites. It's not quite the same as having someone actively trying to find me but still good experience. I see and hear all kinds of things I'm not meant to. And only once made my presence known, on purpose to stop someone who was behaving badly with evil intent. Then faded into the shadows as more campers came to see what the commotion was. Don't want the attention of being a local hero, prefer my quiet life.

[@stokedmtb333]

Ditto. I live in a tourist area in the mountains as well. It will be cool to do search and find games with another person.

[@briarsmoke6046]

Tales of a backwoods poacher. Love it! Not only do all the people in the area hear those “Cool Truck” boys, all the game animals hear it too.

[@blackoracle69]

oh yes they do

[@MyTv-]

Very good point Blackie, never heard any hunter talking about the importance of a silent vehicle. Strange because it makes total sense.

[@blackoracle69]

anyone who has sat on a deer blind before sunlight and could here trucks /cars on all the roads around often a few miles away... the deer hear that to and when they hear these strange sounds like trucks before dawn coming into the woods and fields where they usually are not there on any other day they take notice

[@minacapella8319]

This is one I don't get, why do you (not you specifically but people in general) want your vehicle to be louder and more obnoxious? It serves no purpose but to try to show faux dominance and honestly anyone with half a brain will see through that and just find you annoying. I love my quiet little gas saver that still has plenty of room for something like a hunting trip if I ever need. When I lived in Northern Michigan I even had to strap a deer on the top of my car a couple times when the truck we used to haul them out was down 😹 it wasn't the most ideal way of handling it but it did the job. Got it home and cut it up. (It was all legal, we did crop damage hunting for a local dairy farmer. Lots of antlerless tags for free to us to keep his cow feed safe. I learned a lot during that time. Noisy vehicles would have screwed a lot of that up.

[@MyTv-]

@@minacapella8319 I totally agree with you! Me and you see a vehicle as a tool, the difference is for others it’s a status symbol!

[@minacapella8319]

@@MyTv- seriously!! Although I'd love to own a cool car for fun driving, id rather have something functional and dependable. Especially now as a doordash driver.

[@MyTv-]

@@minacapella8319 i agree I love it too, but it have to be an extra car, garaged away. Since they don’t make any cool car, I want these days. It had to be a older car. Even if I was a billionaire. But that’s me!:)

[@happygardener28]

excellent points. My father would get on me and my brother about being "noisy". Listening to the noises from birds, many will go quiet while others will raise Cain when an invader enters their territory.

[@starlingblack814]

Thanks Blackie; from three generations of poachers, I find that this info is very accurate. Also, wool is the quietest clothing to wear.

[@blackoracle69]

you are correct that and thin flannel

[@williamsisk2897]

I was actually contemplating this not to long ago. I bought a new to me truck. It's not excessively loud but the thought crossed my mind I wouldn't want to pull into the woods with this. I would have never thought about a Cadillac muffler, but the muffler is what I was wanting to quiet.

[@Wheeling88]

I love this stealth series, I've learned so much. I do practice it now. Thank ya Sir.👍👍👍👍👍

[@blackoracle69]

thanks

[@DontDefuse]

I love it too. I’ve used it to sneak past you and your dad after spending a couple hours with your mom

[@firstjohn3123]

And you have brought up why I don't hunt with anyone anymore. They're too noisy. Stomping around, breaking every branch. I carry chafing fuel -not sterno, if I need a fire (it lasts longer). It's quiet & can prevent frostbite, very low fumes. When I have hunted with friends back in the day, it saved their fingers twice from frostbite. All gear should be checked for noise-shake it, check for rattles. The vehicle is a great point.

[@andrewcorr1359]

If we hunt naked and oiled and barefoot , we move slow due to bare feet , we feel all underfoot , you can feel as you put weight down before a breakage , naked torso would not make a sound on the brush ! And how we are so unaccustomed to our roots , think native traditions, hunters n bows , and animal blubber , fats , n veg oil , we blend to each hunting patch , wearing furns , daub in mud clay n such ! We spend thousands on equipment! your so right ! We’re too accustomed to the mall or supermarkets, I’m born n bred in England! We’ve lost our traditions of man ! Hunter gatherers! Having said that it’s bloody cold in winter and hunting in ways conveyed into dam sure , an indecent exposure law would cm into effect ! Oh my !!!! Love ya content mon Senior .

[@lewisward4359]

Sound, scent, and movement. Good information, we can always learn more.. I didn't have real mentors when I got into deer hunting in the early 90's, local hunters were often good shots and lived here for 50 years. They smoked, some knew how to walk quietly though the woods. I read a Tom Brown's Field Guide to Nature Observation and Tracking, Primitive Archer, Traditional Bowhunter and whatever I could find that would prove useful, because I was often using my flintlock. Learned to stalk a deer in the summer, but after opening day, the deer become extremely cautious. Deer don't see color so hunter orange is great to protect you from less careful hunters, but even plaid wool shirt works as camouflage, if you know how to walk. For several years I smoked my clothes twice a season using a wildflower, Aster that the Indians used. They used the root, I just used the herb. Definitely masked my scent. After scorching the cheap synthetic coat, I switched to washes/sprays that reduce scent and hanging the clothes outside.

[@blackoracle69]

[@toniwilson6210]

I wish I had half your experience. That said, between my time hunting, and my time in the woods with the dogs, I think I’ve approximated enough situational awareness. Will have to experiment with these stealth concepts with my buds.

[@blackoracle69]

[@jodyrobertson996]

I love this content. I wish I had a grandpa like Blackie! There were no men around growing up, not even uncles. I'm learning what I can from you, and I am about to start seeing how long I can be out in the woods regular camping and stealth camping. Thank you!

[@Flashahol]

I read that somewhere around 80-90% people nowadays can't stand the silence of nature and need some background noise just to know they exist. Getting people to be silent is like asking Seagulls to not fly over your food. Even in the bible it is said the giants found the humans loud and noisy, and they had no boom boxes back then!! Meanwhile, it is estimated that the sound of a modern refrigerator (I probably read that about 15-20 years ago) would have been a major annoyance for people not even a hundred years ago and I agree.

[@timsilva1944]

I heard that! Pun intended. Was camping last weekend with some friends and was kind of annoyed with one that just had to have music playing almost the whole time in camp. It wasn't that loud, but I can't stand having to strain to understand others talking. Some people can't enjoy the silence.

[@rustybordelon1]

Useful information on a subject often overlooked.

[@williamdroom5789]

OK, so now that we've made the truck quiet, how do we conceal it so it hasn't been tampered with or towed away when we get back?

When we were kids we used to play a game called "Fox & Hounds". The guys not caught were the ones who were, either, the fastest or the best at hiding. E&E as a game. Honestly, I was 50/50. Still, fun days. Fond recollection of the guys tends to make me miss Roger & Johnny & Lawrence and bunch others can't recall names of anymore after near 50yrs.

[@jackslaughter3233]

In the army we had an exercise to improve camouflage and concealment techniques. We'd all head out a few hundred meters into woodland from a clearing. The NCOs in the clearing would blow a whistle and turn their backs to us while we advanced on the clearing. They would then blow the whistle at random intervals telling us to stop and turn to face us, picking out soldiers who could clearly be seen and were now out of the exercise. The man who got the closest to the NCOs without being detected at the end of the exercise was the winner. We stuffed grass and branches into our webbing and helmets just like you're teaching here, you've got some really good advice Blackie - thanks for taking the time to share 👍🙂

It took me a while to be convinced but the sweat is worth the extra clothes if you ever have to step out of the woods and don't want camo or naked. Dress under to blend to the reason you would be where you are while being seen and not have it connect to you from where you came

My grandpa always said that when you are in the woods, the longer you are quiet, the better the hunting gets. I was kind of heavy footed as a kid and could hardly move without stepping on a stick or something else that was crunchy.

Really appreciate your experience and wiwsdom, Blackie. You reminded me of a stealth camping trip a couple of buddies and I took on a friend's wooded hill property about 40 years ago. He would meet us at the pond atop the small mountain. Being the sort we were, we hiked up from the opposite side of the mountain from the road. I was scouting about 30 yards ahead, and when I slipped through the brushy trail at the top, I saw our friend lying prone among the pines, in camo, looking intently at the roadhead on the other side of the pond. I slowly crawled through the tall grass and weeds toward him, and when I was about 12-15 feet from him I stood up. He finally sensed me and turned around to see me smiling and wiggling my knife in my hand at him. It was a personal victory for myself and fun for all of us. Thanks for the induced flashback.

Just found the channel, this is awesome. So much knowledge to absorb, this is going to take a while. I'm a DV living out in the mountains of Colorado. The quiet vehicle part is a big deal for me too, I'm trying to figure out how to make an ATV as quiet as possible. I wanted to add that people who do not normally spend a lot of time in the woods are very loud too. The people who spend a lot of time are as quit as game, when they are running in the woods you can't hear or see them until they are right up on you.

Many times I have shutdown my vehicle and coasted down a grade to park my vehicle. These new electric bikes is where it's at now. Wash clothes in baking soda, hang dry, put them in an unscented garbage bag full of leaves and pine. Leave your gum boots in the back of the truck and put them on after you get there. Gas up the day before and don't stop at the local restaurant or pump n shop the morning of the hunt because of scent. Nothing metal to metal in your pockets. Move with the weather. If its calm move slow and easy and very quite. When in the timber listen, look and you'll hear and see sound and movements you can get by with. Of course the watch dog of the woods is the common squirrel! Little bastareds will rat you out in a heartbeat!🤣😂 All great advice Blackie.

Hey, Blackie! I just discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago and I gotta thank you for all the info and tips and tricks! I'm learning a lot from you. So, thanks for that! Sincerely. To the point of the video - I live in central Florida and I do a lot of fishing on the flats of the gulf. It's my playground. Oyster bars, red fish, snapper, snook, spoil islands everywhere and a lot of them you can camp on... It's a great place. Something I've noticed out there, boy does sound carry on the water! Even with white caps, if the wind direction is right, I can hear every word of a conversation happening on a Carolina skiff anchored dang near a mile away! People who are out there fishing must know that. I think they just don't care. Lol I do, though. I like to see you before you see me, if I can help it. 👍 Thanks again and keep it up, man!

yep the sound has little to stop it like trees limbs ect the sound just keeps going till it fades and if they in the boat are talking loud you can hear then a long way off

[@Danceswithempties]

A few things I know about deer hunting & clothes are: Blue is the worst colour you can wear in the bush. Clothes washed with normal detergents have perfumes & nitrates. Anything with "poly" in it is a bad choice of hunting clothes. This is a great series Blackie. Hope between work to watch the whole series!

[@mrkultra1655]

Thanks Blackie, a lot of these techniques are what a buddy of mine and I used to use when we would go fishing in those “Special Spots”, you know, “Murphy’s Pond”, back in the day. Always catch and release though, never ever even left a trimmed piece of line, or even a footprint behind.

[@jem6205]

Good vid, good practice idea. Dont do that stuff up north because more people get shot when others are hunting around you and dont know you are there. Use a marker at your campsite. Wear hunter orange at all times. Only ever stealth camp/hike when it's not hunting season, you are close to heavy traffic areas or on your own private property, always tell someone where you are, and do normal times check-ins with someone. We have more hikers getting shot because they are trying to do stealth hiking/camping where/when they shouldn't be doing it each year. Just this year we have had more hikers shot because they thought stealth hiking was a good idea. Be safe!

[@blackoracle69]

thanks for watching

[@TheBottegaChannel]

Old school pro tip. Simple white scarves ( round abouts 2 1/2 feet wide by 5 1/4 feet long) that are dyed brown help out with covering the face and can assist with being a valuable modular peice of kit in the Bush. They can be wrapped as a muffler, a head cover, be tied as a makeshift backpack and work as a wind breaking shawl. In place of modern dyes, you could also use tea staining or coffee staining techniques to darken your natural colored clothing as well ( I find chestnut and black coffee brown blend well in night time/ low light/ high shadow environments, as well as dark blues and dark grey.).

[@nomadvanagandr4558]

To hide better from thermal readings go stand next to a wooded area of cedar trees or other radiant trees that put off a high heat signatures, knew pot farmers who used the trees to hide more of the crops from the thermal reading copters that roamed the hills. Conifers radiate more than other trees.

[@NikkiEvernight]

You can beat thermal with just a tarp, as long as you aren't touching it and radiating heat. Just need a little gap between you and it, but in an emergency you can just throw it over you and it'll hide you fine for a while. Good videos, subscribed :)

[@forestgnome55]

Hey Blackie! Another great video I swear we must have been brothers in another life! When we were kids we played almost the same game, we'd give someone a head start and then try to track him. Another game we played was to try to sneak up on someone and see how close we could get without being detected. When we'd go hunting my dad would have me jump up and down to see if anything I was carrying rattled. Regards and best, Pink.

Just found your channel, very insightful stuff. One tip for walking stealthy, think of the old cartoons when they did that exaggerated creeping walk.

Light is also a tell. If you must have a light red light doesn't affect your eyes like blue. Dogs can see blue and yellow. Hogs can see red. I can see the eye reflection of animals using red light. In my backyard rabbits, raccoons, opposum and house cats all can be sneaked upon.

It's only as loud as a pedal bike and it can go anywhere a mountain bike or dirt bike can.

Thanks Blackie , good sense, stay grey.

[@blackoracle69]

Right on

[@RVM451]

I'm grooving on your comments-but, Black Bears-a solid, deep BLACK-are almost ghosts in the woods. Put just a few twigss or leaves in front of the Black Bear and the eye interprets the broken Black background as deep shadow. Of course. IF you're going to DEPEND on Black for stealth, best take some black things into YOUR local Forest to check it out. Also, camouflage patterns ONLY help break up the outline when you are close enough to SEE the pattern. At any reasonable distance, the eye integrates Woodland Came into a single shade of green. Knowledgeable people have been advocating for MUCH LARGER MORE ROBUST came patterns for years. I saw some IPSC Option-Item targets sprayed with brown and green patterns the size of Yorksbire Terriers and they were VERY hard to pick out.

[@oscarmike5550]

Read that emergency blankets were effective on the average person’s thermal imaging while sitting still and completely covered

[@828enigma6]

US military camo netting is supposed to be 85% effective in reducing IR signature. Since the head is such an effective heat radiator, might want to double up there.

One thing to remember, females use color to find things, males use movement. Female get two copies of the color gene, and males only one. While there are a few males with perfect color vision, it is very rare. If males are looking for you, simply STOPPING and being perfectly still will mean the vast majority won't see you, even if you are in a place that appears open and no cover. Blackie is taking it to the next level, because he's spent time identifying people and colors in a wooded environment, so he understands what stands out, but most people lack that skill. Also, on sound, it's important that the sounds you make are natural, that is what Blackie is describing when he's dragging his fingers across the bag, certain sounds are associated with people and those sounds our brains pickup on fast. You especially want to reduce these human associated sounds.

[@toritori4430]

No perfumed deodorants No aftershave No smoking Those scents give you away and the smells hang in the air a long time . Keep off paths but don't use same route and avoid making your own game trail Crawling is noisy you've got a lot of mass moving on ground snapping sticks etc Walk n stop every few steps pause anyone watching for movement you will see before they see you . If someone is smoking they will be scent blind to you same if they wear strong aftershave They will be relying on sight and sound To notice you and if youve noticed them first you can make that almost impossible them . Eyeshine is a big problem if they have lamps if they are scanning in arcs When beam is coming around your way close your eyes or yould look like two big reflectors staring back at them. And if they are lamping they ruined their night vision beaam is off you move to cover they are just seeing black outside that light same with anyone walking with a headtorch or torch all they can see is what's in the beam so they rely on sound or smell around them Stand still they could walk past you ten feet away I've done it I had joggers go straight me once I was sitting with my back against fence post when I stood up guy at back got a fright whole group was shaken for a bit I wasn't hiding or covered but in order to see ahead they sacrificed 360 vision

smell hearing sight and sound are the main avenues to achieve this imaging exists sure so does body armor but most dont have all that stuff or expect they will need it readily and if they do and you arent prepared for that then no amount of anything will save your bacon so just because better exists doesnt mean its in constant use

Just an fyi, Easyiest way to beat thermal imaging now in days is to put a tarp between you and the Scanner. The image cant peneatrate most tarps that you can buy on the market today, try not to make the tarp a flat square, still make it an irrgulear shape.

Welll said. There's a yahoo that lives on the road I live on. It's a full mile to either end. I can here him coming and going past either end. Most annoying, especially up close.
