Before I ever go out to a new area, I pull up a topo map and carefully study the terrain and its features. I envision what the map would look like were it in 3D and where I am and where I will be going. I always mark the map by drawing magnetic north lines on it. That way, in the event I do need to use a compass, I can take readings on the fly without ever having to orient the map. That saves time and accuracy especially if it is raining, snowing, very windy, or you're heading toward hypothermia. Moreover, it avoids the problem of putting a map on a rock that is loaded with metal and throwing off a reading. With the map marked with magnetic north lines, I could take accurate readings even if I set the map on the magnetized hood of a car. With practice, you can navigate solely with just a map and terrain association. The compass stays in the pack. It is liberating.

And yet their whole cover could be blown by one crossing the road and being hit or caught on dashcam. BF, if reports are to be believed, is darn near nationwide. I don’t buy a conspiracy or coverup of the magnitude described above. Maybe just general consensus to not acknowledge or speak about it.

I've been reading a keeping my mouth shut for awhile....but... C'mon dude. If the govt is using those types of resources to keep us, and squatch, quiet--then it is almost certainly ET.
