Hey Everyone,
So it looks like these drones are going to become a standard part of our lives, with basic ones costing as little as $50 anyone can get their hands on one. Now I have 2 questions that I would like to put to everybody
1. How will the possibility of someone using a drone in your area change your prepping or alter your OPSEC plans?
2. Do you think there is a place for these devices in a preppers arsenal?
ill get the ball rolling
1. Up until recently I have been fairly relaxed with OPSEC when it comes to equipment or preps in general in my backyard, my yard is enclosed on all sides with high fences with neighbours that I have become half decent mates on 2 out of 3 sides. Recently however I have been more concerned about the idea that anyone with these drones could very easily be mapping and scouting peoples properties. I am not talking big brother, or even the criminal element, I am just referring to local people dicking around with these having a bit of fun. If/When SHTF they may remember the house down th road with the vegie patch, water tanks, jerry cans and various 'expirements' out the back and could consider them a worthy target. This has caused me just to be more careful and not leave anything out in the open where people can see it overhead.
2. I think these drones, especially decent quality ones, could very well be an important part of our future plans. With a good quality drone you can scout other peoples yard (see point 1), perform general recon for hostiles, and have an almost automated early warning system.
What do you guys think?
