[00:00:00]Can you actually hide from a thermal camera?

[00:00:02]A ghillie suit might fool human eyes, but thermal cameras still see your body heat instantly. So, some people try using cold water.

[00:00:10]But, that [snorts] only cools the surface briefly. Others use thermal blankets. And while they can reduce heat signatures, warm spots and trapped heat can still become visible. But, here's the craziest part. Mud can actually help. Because wet mud acts as temporary insulation, reducing the heat escaping from your skin. So, if someone is fully covered and hidden in dense surroundings, they can become much harder to spot, at least for a short time. But, modern thermal cameras are still extremely difficult to fool completely.
