doublejj's 2024 adventure

[7CardBud]

I was out in California visiting friends back in the dark times after a work injury laid me off. They ran the usual 1/4-acre guerilla grows in a few secluded locations. The main thing that terrified them were Mexican Pirates. They told me stories of friends that went out to their crops to be greeted by armed raiders on atvs. The Mexicans would drive box trucks up into the guerilla grow areas and then take atvs out of the back to scour the area for crops.
I remember them telling me they buried 55 gallon barrels off the inbound trials with "pest control equipment" if the need ever arised.
I was wondering if the Cali outdoor scene is much safer these days since the gubment got involved or do you still need a fair amount of security.

Security is still a big issue, today they are using drones, and so is the Sherriff. These farms are on very remote property off grid with no cell service. There is only 1 private 4x4 road in or out. Most of the neighbors are also growers and we have formed a tightknit community up there out of mutual necessity. The police never come out here unless they are rolling 4 deep. I say all this however I believe that today, fire. is our most dangerous threat. If a wildfire ever got to the road the growers are screwed. and a couple fires have come close.

Well that answers a pile of questions.
You need a defense drone or organize a gated HOA.
