[QUOTE="Schwarzwald, post: 65965, member: 544"] If you’re trying to pull this off on land you don’t own, you have to stop thinking about a "house" and start thinking about a "position." Think of it as a Ukrainian trench crossed with an ISIS cave, but with a Hobbit-hole aesthetic to keep it from being an eyesore. If you can see it from the air or from 20 yards away, you’ve already lost. You’re going to want to dig in—literally. Digging into a hillside gives you natural insulation against the Spanish heat and keeps your profile below the brush line. Use a camo-netting roof covered in local dirt and vegetation so it just looks like a hump in the earth. For gear, don't waste money on fancy civilian camping brands that come in "rescue orange." Go to a military surplus store. It's cheaper, built for the dirt, and designed to blend in. You’ll need a solid spade, a heavy-duty tarp for the "roof" under the dirt, and a decent solar array. Since you’re going to be out there in the middle of nowhere, a portable solar charger is basically your lifeline for keeping your tech alive. Toss in a Starlink if you can swing the power requirements, and you’ve got a high-tech hole in the ground that the "elites" won't even know exists. Just remember the golden rule of stealth building: if you leave a visible trail leading to the door, you’re just inviting the cops to breakfast. Walk different paths, keep the smoke from your fires hidden, and live like a ghost. [/QUOTE]
