When we were located we ignited barrels of wood saturated with oil prior to them arriving so that our signatures were hard to find among the burning barrels.
Remember pine needles block IR and other high tech devices. so keep that in mind in the pine forests.
And when using thermal space blankets to cover your heat signature make sure to use one on the ground to keep the ground from showing where you were.
