Realistically there is little that can be done otherwise.
There is only two solutions to using the contact pack without just walking in cold.
One is to build a hide and observe a village, camp, or group without being discovered yourself for a period of time you think is sufficient. That means around the clock 24/7 shifts in a camouflaged hide. I can think of two instances of grand scale fail for SF teams in Iraq (91) and Afghanistan (05?) that only air strikes and helo extraction saved some members. Both were uncovered by goat herders.
Second solution is to pose as someone lost or with something to trade and make contacts on the roads to get information about the local groups before contact. Combine this with signals intelligence which would have worked in the 3-5 year plan for more.
