Before leaving
- Choose a verified firm-bank position with recovery already planned.
- Inspect floating-decoy lines and anchors before placing the set.
At the location
- Compare wind and drift with the planned exit and recovery arrangement.
- Keep uninspected water or ground explicitly unobserved.
Return
- Close the return check-in and collect equipment and waste.
- Use the checked recovery arrangement; stop if it no longer works.
Review
- Choose one missing piece of evidence to check next time.
- Retain the bank context and hidden sectors with the observation.
A fictional observation example
Fictional example: one bird is seen in the checked sector. The adjacent screened sector is uninspected: record one for the view and unknown for the hidden sector.
