Accessing guerrilla spots - how?

So I've scouted out some superb guerrilla spots, but all of them have dense foliage which will be trampled and create a path if I have to get to my plants twice a week.

How do I get past thick vegetation without leaving an obvious trail?

Anyone?

Obviously I understand the rudimentary 'try not to crush everything' and using a different entrance each visit but I was wondering if there were any special techniques to help make it seem untouched.

i love to fish so i find a nice remote stretch of river where i know i can get some good fish then bright and early i head out fishing in my kayak have fun for the prime few fishing hrs in the morning then when the fish shutdown i head up stream checking my plants from the bank. no nasty little tracks for people to follow perfect excuse for being out there should anyone find me plus i really love the fishing oh and did i mention there is always nearby water.

now if that isnt an option which lets face it its probably not, my oldest trick which works a treat is to find a nice long fallen log that is laid down in the direction u want to head then i simply leave the beaten track by walking along the log this way the start of your track is harder to find. then next u have to jump alot so the track is patchy, then once you do start a full blown track u have to make a few little diversion tracks and make sure your main track is actually a cut back from the main traick so its harder for people to find if they are walking along your track cause your less likely to notice a track that heads back the way you are coming . and start your cut back with a few short jumps.

its alot of work but i had great results. and never ever ever ever show anyone your plants ever.

Hey now that I think about it there are a few small fallen trees in the area that I'd be able to walk along and jump off. I don't have enough space to work with to be making fake trails, but the jumping and log walking are great ideas, cheers :)

if you want to fix so you will not have to go so much--dig holes and put black plastic in hole poke a couple holes in plastic fill with pro mix and water well--can do 2 weeks between watering for large plants--

Follow old logging tracks in then veer off into an area that hasnt got tall trees.Cover any tracks you make.

In my experience it's inevitable that you make a track. You just have to make it look like an animal trail, and try to walk one foot in front of the other so it stays as narrow as possible. I walk on the edge of the wood line, until that's not possible, then I stay on the same thin path I create, trying to allow bigger vegetation surrounding the path to cover it if possible.
If your gonna do a serious grow, you'll have to get water to it. Unless your doing something REALLY BIG, like pumping the water from a creek or something, you'll have to pack the water in. So just make a single trail and use it everytime. Maybe have one going in and another one going out.
One tip I can give about reducing your "footprint" on any growing vegetation is to do all your preparing(digging holes, carrying in soil/ferts/etc,) in late winter which eliminates killing any new spring growth on your way to your site. That way all you have to worry about carrying in, when the season actually begins, is the plants and their water.
