Hey all
For those that have a retreat or plan to just "bug in" I have a really neat opsec tool that you may want to look into.
Custom Topographic Maps and Aerial Maps for the USA & Canada
I purchased a 3'x4' color aerial photograph from that site with my property centered in the middle (about $80 as I recall), mounted it on a piece of plywood and overlaid it with plexiglass. It is now hung on the wall in my man cave and I think will be a great asset when organizing my neighborhood for security.
Add a set of dry erase markers and it will be easy to set up recon routes, sectors of fire, etc. Maps just make it easier to convey what you are saying so people understand. They also have Topos that you can order but I already have some of those from the sporting goods store.
While I'm on the subject for those bugging out in a specific area you cannot go wrong with a Gazetteer Atlas:
Atlas & Gazetteers, by State - DeLorme
The scale is small but you get a whole state topo in a single book, I own one for my state and the surrounding states except UTAH as I will never go there.
