Be a Spy in the Night

So you want to be a spy at night? This is the right place to learn basic information.

Steps

  1. Wear clothing that matches the environment. For example, if the background directly behind you will be the white siding of a house wear a white/grey shirt. Do not wear a single shirt, but try to layer your clothing so that spectators won't make out the human silhouette. Wear clothes that are at least a size too big, so you look like a big blob of something, that no one would think is human.
  2. Wear navy blue or dark green if spying in grass. Black is a bit too dark, so you will be noticed.
  3. Control your breathing and let your night vision adjust so you don't step on sticks or something. This is especially important when you are near the person you are spying on, or in hearing range of them.
  4. When moving, make slow, fluid movements, so that people watching won't be drawn to your movements.
  5. Move with your surroundings to be harder to catch sight of. Like, if your behind some bushes, and the wind blows, and you are standing still, it will be easy to spot you among the bushes.
  6. Know the layout of the place you are spying on and how many occupants live there.
  7. Try to Wear an army BDU or ACU--whichever suits your environment better.

Tips

  • Wear a face concealer or something. While not necessary, it helps so that if the person sees you.
  • Tell your parents you're going to the store or friends' house because your parents would never let you go spying outside in the night.
