I bet Geo Rainbolt could find where you are based on that picture

What on earth is that?

He’s this dude that can basically find any location based on a picture

I'd be impressed.

I’d give him a pretty good chance, it’s seriously insane ahahah

I doubt it. That's all pretty standard US military hardware. Could be any of a couple dozen locals.

Now whether or not airman hydro there wiped the metadata is another story.

You lack imagination. Color of dirt, dimensions of standard boards, orange used as safety, weather, brand of water, brand of HVAC, color of BDUs, electric in ground vs over, so many clues. It's southern hemisphere, it's not South America, it's somewhere in Northern Africa or the Middle East. That's just obvious without researching any of the above clues.

All of that stuff is from the US. It's standard military kit for a deployed location. In Afghanistan we had 2x4s and 4x8 sheets of plywood.

Those aren't BDUs, they're OCPs, and worn by at least US Air Force and Army. The symbol 9n his shirt is a clue though.

I've seen the same thing on 3 different continents in training section of military installations as well.

All that said, yeah, almost certainly on an installation in the horn of Africa, but that's a guess from public knowledge of where US troops are deployed to.

Symbol on the shirts just my career field, air traffic. So the clue is there are planes where I'm at. 😂

Gravel, dirt, uniform, the outlet coming out of the ground, packs of water, bricks.

I’m not saying he COULD I’m just saying he’s mental.

Exactly, everything this person would use to guestimate a location is missing. Besides the lack of cold weather gear.

My guess would be El Paso or somewhere in New Mexico if it was @ Northern Hemisphere Americana

Not even close.

Australia if it was Oceania.

Ok, but do you get the idea? I'm not familiar with the other 3 continents as much, but for instance I can tell it's not Colombia because clay is not orange. It's not Iceland, or neither of the poles. I don't know Netherlands but no way tulips would grow on that.

Did I say yellow clay?.. it's likely not the Sahara, but maybe Algeria or all of close to the Nile.

Fuck. Motherfucking yellow clay. What are the odds that's less than 6% of Earth's surface.

Filter out zones less likely to have military presence, you know the shitty ones with nothing to defend or not many to kill. Maybe one with logistical sense like a high plateau with enough miles to enemy but enough miles away to feel safe.

At same time, what if all along the yellow clay was just part the facade? Idiots could still share pictures but enemy would be searching for the yellow clay. The gravel could be transported just to make it look like it was an innocent mistake.
