A kind "oh..." moment. What you need is a physical object to block the heat and enough distance from that object so that the heat behind it can dissipate. So yes, an insulator like a space blanket works well, but don't wrap it around your body, set it up so that it acts as a wall away from you, letting the heat behind it rise into the air. That's all you need. A regular blanket or even a sheet will work, if you have enough space left behind it. A bush won't work, having too many gaps, but a bush with a space blanket behind it? Perfect. Try not to stay in one place too long and remember, if they have infra-red, they have night vision as well, so constantly work to stay out of sight. Often what works that way will also help with infra-red. Hiding behind a building always works for instance. A pane of glass works, in the dark (not for night vision!) as long as you don't touch it. So will a board propped up. It isn't hard to beat infra-red, or night vision. You just need to be careful and plan ahead when possible. |

Anything exposed can be heated up with some type of lazer pulse that they use, making you even hotter. Your eyes will be permantly damaged from this lazer pulse if you are looking in the general direction and too many pulses is like welding with no welding helmet. It uses light, light can be reflected with a mirror. If you shine the light back to the source, it can't see shit. |

With those any light source or reflector will be too bright to look at. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 16364752 United States 08/26/2012 12:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | that's funny about destroying the camera, but hardly a good suggestion..drones/copters can be so far away that you can't even hear them, yet they can see you without worry of small arms fire. unless you can see where the source is and reflect the light back(which also gives your position away), there's very little that you can do to keep from being seen, other than comeplete masking of your body heat and like I said earlier, that's not easy to do as eventually your body heat soaks into anything you wear. infrared wasn't the reason for outlawing lead paint, lead is poison and had nothing to do with infrared, which probably didn't exist to anyone but military back then. |
