This is a predicament many new opprrs face. It depends on the enviorment and surroundings, if your in a wooden area forest Camo is probably best.

Well if one of you're worries is about NO being shut down, You can always branch out to having a site based out of the U.S. There's not much ANYBODY in the UK can do about that. They can shut this one down (If it is based in the UK) but they can't interfere with American sites.
