by Apaches, Gurhkas, etc is a lot easier than it sounds. Even rank
amateurs
can do quite well if they give it a bit of thought, while the
professionals
can work apparent miracles *in terrain they know well* (emphasis added).

Or in shadows. I remember some games of hide-and-seek we played in the
evening. Big garden with a large flat open court in the middle. Just a
few
streetlights, no flashlights. I lay down in a shadowy part of the open
court
in what during the day would have been plain sight and they didn't find
me.
