	As one who has used deep IR imaging for some time, let me
advise that thick jungle growth will indeed block the IR before
it can reach the detector. Using it in open terrain would be a good
idea, but trees have always played havoc with my older equiptment.
I could make a joke about how hard could it be, but I know how much
space that jungle covers, so I'll skip it  ;)
