Secret Wars In The American Wilderness (2024)

They don't usually have 1 "depot" in case it gets hit, instead it's usually distributed into smaller depots. They may have 1 dedicated "reception" area where the drugs come in from out of town/state/country (ie., a warehouse near the port, or a garage near a freeway), but then its moved to another place. It could be a small mom & pop bakery, it could be a house, it could be anything they want. Usually its just a house or apartment. They can move them too of course.

except then you would have to set up some infrastructure even if extremely crude to store all those goods, and having them hundreds of miles away from the nearest town just adds additional cost which many of these drug lords want to avoid

This, no drug lord wants to take a loss because you want to set up some underground storage bunker 700 miles from your actual market.

Kind of a /k/ spooky thread but also kind of serious. The American interior is massive. There are countless regions where the human population "officially" is zero for hundreds of square miles, even thousands. While we've all heard and have enjoyed stories of cryptids and things such as wendigos and sh*t. My curiosity shifts more to the realistic, albeit still surreal possibilities that these regions could be host to everything ranging from organized crime running things such as drug labs to outcast groups either politically or religiously motived or just deranged to live out in the middle of nowhere. This possibility leads my imagination into wondering; what if it's true? What if there could be straight up organized crime groups waging guerrilla warfare against each other in the middle of nowhere with even the US military being involved, either sending in SF to kill them and wipe out any evidence to keep the public dark or even funding them CIA style. There could be firefights being waged right now and nobody would know other than those directly involved in said firefights.

The possibility gets even stranger when you factor in weird mystery stories of experienced hikers with years to decades experience going missing, just for the search for these people being conducted in very weird ways, with even Army SF getting involved, searching areas blocked off from local law enforcement to "find them".

What does /k/ think of all of this and what theories and or stories do you guys have to share? Also, just general spoopy thread because why the frick not?

>experienced hikers with years to decades experience going missing
I really think a lot of this comes down to a few things.
>The park service doesn't want to admit murders happen in the parks, because the park service really tries to keep the perception up that parks are safe and healthy. Which mathematically, they are, but still. Not to mention police don't really want to deal with park crime scenes, or the jurisdictional issues that could occur in parks with overlapping states and federal/state areas. What are you going to do, get footprints from all 1,000 people who walked the park? dust the trees for prints?
>Many "experienced hikers" may just be wandering the same few hikes or trails, and wind up getting lost or separated anyway. It really doesn't take much to get lost.
>See above, but they may be hikers who just overestimated their abilities on a deep hike and got lost in the American interior and died of exposure, making odd choices along the way to shed weight or due to confusion/hypothermia/limb sprangs that limit mobility etc
>Mountain lion attacks may just be more prevalent than usually recognized, which are about the only ambush predator in the US that could silently murder you and drag you off from a camp at short notice. Less likely.

Honestly I think a lot of people just overestimate their skills or get lost entirely.

>would need their supply depots
What is a trap house?
Guys doing organized criminal sh*t in some city like Detroit, Baltimore, or Chicago are not going to go all the way out into the boonies to store sh*t when there's plenty of abandoned sh*t shacks they can use for that in basically every major city they can store/do their sh*t in. Long travel times like you'd get if you stashed your sh*t innawoods increases the risk of being hit on the move. Combatting gangs that use abandoned properties is part of why in Detroit they've been trying to tear old abandoned buildings down for years, but there's always more and there's always places the cops just flat don't go.

What you're going to see outside the cities is almost entirely smuggling and things related to it. They're going to be desperately trying to avoid detection by anyone, not just rivals, when doing it. Starting a big ass firefight on an important corridor used by basically everyone to move sh*t causing the cops and feds to show up isn't just going to frick things up for your enemies and can end up putting a few extra targets on your back.

Really gay sh*t.

Everything about it was great except the plot
Also, one region had a great radio station and the other two were fricking dogsh*t

The plot makes a lot more sense when you realize it’s a metaphor for ISIS and the Middle East and not anything to do with America.

>My little sister hangs out in the private logging company lands in Maine a lot.
Is she the lumberjack camp toy and gets passed around a lot? Like a lot a lot? Post pics.

Touch grass gays

>Honestly I think a lot of people just overestimate their skills or get lost entirely.

If you bother to read the accounts of those who almost ended up missing, its clear that whatever it is, it is not connected to human activity at all. Animals can detect spooks at a much greater range than humans. You can make yourself unpalatable to evil spooks by smelling of flowers and herbs, f.ex carrying something that smells strongly of mint is an excellent idea. Spooks can, supposedly, be seen with generation 3 night vision devices. Such infrared only spooks are always evil.

Spooks exist in different frequency bands, which our eyes interpret as color. The rule of thumb is higher frequency the better. A spook that is blue is far less likely to harm you than a spook that is only visible in infrared. The presence of a blue spook or even better, an ultraviolet spook, is also likely to discourage red and redder spooks from being present.

I'd love to see the basis for some of this. Real or not, it's an interesting concept.

Minnesotachads, the fire rises you know

Euro bees are getting sissified by big black stingers.

For real though we gotta figure out a way to murder the hybridized bees to ensure a future for European honeybees and ourselves since they serve as pollinators.
