Keeping a low profile: How to avoid thermal cameras deployed by the surveillance state

Thermal imaging has now become part and parcel of surveillance technology, and for good reason — Warm bodies and hot equipment continuously give off an invisible heat known as infrared light. It’s undetectable by the human eye, but not to thermal imaging equipment. This is both a good and bad thing: good if you’re the one making use of thermal imaging to protect yourself, bad if you’re trying to avoid it. If you just so happen to fall squarely into the latter, then you’re in luck. Thermal imaging is effective, but it isn’t infallible. There are ways around it, and we’re going to teach them to you.
Look for cover: The most basic method of beating thermal imaging is to avoid standing out, and one of the easiest ways to do this is to hide behind objects. But not just any will do. You’ll want a cover that can sufficiently block out your heat signature, so a light brush is next to useless in this scenario. Don’t risk it with drywall either; thermal imaging has reached a point of sophistication where single-layer brick walls pose no problem whatsoever. Instead, you should look for something large and dense, such as heavy undergrowth, dense tree canopies, or hilly terrain. Another good option is thick glass, which can serve as a surprisingly effective cover, provided you’re not dealing with military-grade thermal systems.
Make some changes: Specifically, to your shape and behavior. As explained by Survivopedia.com, humans have recognizable features and actions that set us apart from animals. The human head, arms, and legs are unmistakable, as is our two-legged gait, so make things harder for your would-be observer by tucking yourself into a ball or laying down to transform your outline.
Watch what you wear: It’s easy to think that simply piling on clothes until you look more clothing than man will be enough to fool thermal imaging equipment. You have a better chance of overheating than that happening. Wetsuits and arctic clothing won’t do a better job of disguising your body heat, nor will a suit cobbled together from space blankets. The best use for space blankets is as anti-infrared lining for your shelter and not for yourself. Fact is, there is no singular clothing option out there that will fully protect you from thermal imaging. Your best bet is to combine insulated clothing with mud to coat uncovered areas of your body, according to ModernSurvivalBlog.com.
