Echo Location
I just finished Daredevil season 2 (great show for oppers) and for those who don't know Daredevil is a blind guy that has super senses so he can "see" with sound. So I looked around online for real life human echo locators and there are blind people that have a functioning echo location skills. Test...

A tunneling/cache thread, with night ops in mind. A hiding place for gear, plans, and *cough other stuff. Anything from a hole in the ground to a makeshift shelter, would be very useful. Would this be a viable project? Any resources would be welcome.

When it comes to buying gear which is better, online or a store to see if it is quality? Does it depend on the gear? Also if one is buying "questionable" items how would one buy them without drawing attention. Knifes, lockpicks, climbing gear, or whatever the opper wants.
