Fox Hunting Workshop Series
Parent Project: Fox Hunting: Community Policing
Workshop series (skillshare-ready)
Workshop 1: Mesh hygiene and failure modes
- What “healthy mesh” looks like (user-visible signs)
- Common misconfigs that cause regional pain
- A friendly “no blame” culture: assume confusion, not malice
- How to collect evidence without drama (timestamps, screenshots, minimal logs)
Workshop 2: RF basics for fox hunting (practical-only)
- RSSI vs SNR (what they actually mean in the field)
- Why close-in hunting is different from far-field triangulation
- Attenuation + directionality as your best friends
- Safety + ethics + how to approach people
Workshop 3: Using the 4-element kit (hands-on)
- Pi/RTL‑SDR: what the waterfall is telling you
- Spotter nodes: how to take a “good” reading
- Coordinated search patterns (grid, spokes, leapfrog)
- Real-time logging + map view (even a simple one)
- Plant a “fox” test node in a known area
- Not actually disruptive, just have it broadcast a fox emoji periodically or something like that
- Run the protocol end-to-end
- Practice the “operator contact” script
- Produce an incident writeup
