OT - How to keep from being seen on a trail cam?
Stalking is a hobby of mine. For the last couple of weeks I've been going up to this remote place in the Manistee Forest at night and walking clockwise around this guy's house while filming his family sleeping. I think he's caught on to me. I've been wearing a shirt from the power company so I can pretend I've been reading the meter if I get caught, but until that happens, do any of you have advice on how to spot a trail cam in the dark and disable it without being seen? Lord knows I don't plan on stopping anytime soon.
My freshman year I go so drunk I thought if I whispered I was invisible. I peed on the flagpole in front of SouthQuad while hundreds of people walked in and out. I whispered "You can't see me..." to lots of smiles. They must have heard me.
Try whispering while drunk to avoid the camera.

Bless you.
And my upvotes and the number change appear automatically, often there was some weird delay.
My freshman year a dude peed on me in SouthQuad and kept whispering you’re a flagpole and you can’t see me.
I would try not going on that trail. I'm guessing the dude in the house has a shotgun. Maybe get a safer hobby.
I think he's a sparty because he wears sparty pajamas when he sleeps.
You should take photos and post them on your social media. Nothing bad ever comes from that.
Interesting, because when I go over there and peek in the window he's usually wearing the nude. It could be I am too sexier for my than you, so maybe I get the show.
I have to know.... was he sleeping on a couch? Was the couch OK? I mean, not burning or anything?
Obviously .... start walking counter-clockwise. Trail cams only detect clockwise walkers.
Is there an inside joke that I'm missing out on?
Absolutely, the punch lines are in the comments....
Maybe try being more subtle. Like with your joke writing.
User name checks out.
(On a serious note, is this supposed to be funny?)
The best way to spot a trail cam is to set off some fireworks to light up the forest. Then you'll be able to see those trail cams plain as day.
if you move at the speed of light, no way that camera can keep up with you
Have you seen his avatar? That’s not a dude that moves at light speed.
I use an invisible cloak.
Good luck, Harry
laser pointer beam should split if you hit a glass lens on a camera. It'd be a miracle if you hit the lens, because they are not very big.
...following.
Get a Ghillie suit. Like you would wear when you would go out squatchin.
I have a buddy that's a Bigfoot. I'll ask him and let you know.
Quietly follow the local nocturnal animals. When you see the infrared lights light up on the trail camera, you now know their location.
If this doesn't work, try drinking lots of bourbon. But only the good stuff 👍.
Good luck 🤞
Just to add.... he will need his night vision goggles to "see" the infrared light. Once seen, he should light some flares and run as quickly as possible without taking the goggles off.
The trick is to run like you're an animal.
Oh, it's too easy, folks...
The Flying Circus definitely already covered this topic:
Quite right.
Walk around naked so the camera can't see you.
Wear this halloween costume?
What will a Kurt Angle costume do?
Watch out for fishing line stretched about knee high that is tied to aluminum cans. You've already laid the groundwork and have him spooked, don't blow your cover now by getting lazy.
Put the mason jar down and get some sleep. Tomorrow pretend you got hacked and all will be good.
Call the police and explain the situation to them. They might be able to help you.
You should go to prison. WTF?
All my life I've been ignored by people, and finally, after years of being overlooked, I found I have the power to disappear.
You have a voice, turtleboy, and it has been heard. One of the rules I've tried to follow is to listen to the quiet ones in a room. It's paid many dividends over the years.
Your comment reminded me of an episode of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" where a girl actually became invisible after being ignored for so long. I only mention it because... Buffy... duh.

There is not enough wit in the entirety of the MSU universe to properly adjudicate this thread.

I really hesitate to call this a shitpost. It's creepy enough to be interesting.
man, i never thought id long for the days of ten masturbatory “is harbaugh leaving” / “here’s who should replace him” / “why doesn’t warde manuel just fire him now” threads per day.
Walking around northern Michigan in February/ March at night in a T shirt.. I call BS
Duct tape is definitely part of the solution here... most likely, you would find multiple applications in this context, but that's between you, your parole officer and the jury.
