Today I was doing some work in the garden when I had a epiphany, about grass.. now stay with me here.
OPSEC stands for operational security and is something all preppers/survivalists consider. When you look at any popular apolypse films or series, everything is always neat and tidy. Think of the prison from the walking dead series, post shtf the grass wont be cut.
So how does this relate to long term survival?
It can disguise your building or potential resources.

All your lines of sight will be changed, which means you can be ambushed.
Who is hiding in there?
But if you cut the grass to maintain your line of sight, people will know where you are. You will be especially visible from the air and high vantage points.
Looks a bit obvious
I am surprised that no one has been talking about this simple issue. It changed my security considerations, as well as creating new risks (ambush, predators).
There are some positive aspects to this, for example it can provide wild grains if you are in a pinch. I think the key is exploiting it to your advantage, so I will be allowing overgrown grass to surround my garden. Although visible from the air, no one will see it at ground level.
Tracking, flattened grass makes it easier to track an animal (or person) but also allows you to be hunted.
Survive and Thrive!
