Prepare Wooden Base for Security Pod

What happens here

Select a sturdy piece of wood to serve as the base for the modular security camera pod. The creator uses white oak, noting its durability, but suggests pressure-treated wood as a good alternative. Using a cordless drill with a drill bit, create two pilot holes in the wooden board. These pilot holes will later be used to drive long exterior deck screws for mounting the entire security pod to a tree.

Goal: Create a durable and portable base for the camera and solar panel.
