fv1609 Posted July 9, 2017 Author Share Posted July 9, 2017 Well the B&W was not strictly military, it was something I spotted in the long grass one night. The heat is retained for some while but the image shows evidence that it was quite recent. I think I'll leave the description at that. Even so I suppose in some circumstances such evidence could of tactical value to an enemy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fv1609 Posted July 9, 2017 Author Share Posted July 9, 2017 Not faeces :shocked: !! Yes well done Richard I knew you would come up with some specialist knowledge Although these extra items crept in unexpectedly, it important for us in the fields here to identify, defuse & dispose of them in a safe manner to avoid entanglement after the cooling off period. From a strategic point of view it is worth remembering that a battalion will produce 4.5 cu ft of this type of material per day, that needs to be rendered safe. This is important from a health point of view, but operations of a covert nature could be jeopardised if proper attention is not paid to proper concealment or disposal of the stuff. I think I remember being told that the SAS carry their material with them rather leave any evidence of their prescence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew we should have been worried where your mind was going, looking for the box set of Dads Army right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
