    Used to work a job where I traveled.....A LOT . All luggage brands , colors , and styles look alike at busy airports . I designed a personal glyph , and painted it about 8-10 inches tall , on the front , back , and bottom with gold paint , on a navy suitcase . I did zip tie the zippers as well . Yeah , it looked cheesy , but it allways stood out , and nobody ever walked off with it , by mistake .

      The concern to me is not having my suitcase taken, its having it broken into. That has happened to me before and there is nothing you or anyone can do about it. I worked for a major airline years ago. I knew of a few guys who would go into someones suitcase and take a pair of women's panties out and then put them in the ball pocket of a golf bag. They thought it was funny. I wonder how many marriages were destroyed because of that. Knowing I worked were people like that were not punished or fired made me sick to go to work. I transferred out of fleet service only to find the unions didn't like that I was against them and gave me grief though out my whole time I worked for that airline. Because of the unions and then 9/11 I refuse to fly on ANY airline. But If I ever travel by train I will use these ideas for securing my suitcase then.

If its legit , then a zip tie will work well enough . A small lock works well . I have done both . If it is legit , they always leave a card inside , telling you it has been searched . Not much you can do about a scumbag theif . The Saudi's have it right , in that respect .....they cut off the guys hand . Anything of real value I carried with me , on my person . Other things , I simply put in one of the crates , on the truck being shipped to the job site . In that respect , if they want my used underwear , or flask of booze , go ahead .

      ​@robertedwards7749 That's Why I never check baggage. From the time I was in the military to present.. all my gear is in a duffle and can easily be stuffed in the overhead or 'checked' as I am boarding (Horizon Air)... then immediately picked up immediately after de-boarding.

      @@Eric-gi9kg There are good people who work for the airlines all across the industry. However there are a few who just have to ruin it for all the rest. Like any work place I guess but its just sickening when you have to work side by side with someone you are disgusted with knowing there isnt a darn thing you can do about it. But the union can sure make your life miserable for standing up for the good things. I'm glad i no longer work for the airlines. The work was fun but the people made it un fun.

    Where does all this info come from? Is it just passed on/down from people that know? Is it from being in the military?
    So much info to learn. So little time.
    Andrew, do you have a list of 10 (or whatever number it takes) of skills/knowledge info to know? My problem is so much info. I want to learn the ones I absolutely need to know to survive before I learn all the other things. Basically, where do I start? I want to have a good foundation of learning/understanding/knowledge that I can then build on top of to continue building my knowledge base? Is there a "Start here" knowledge base for beginners?
    After reading comments I noticed someone called you, "a real life MacGyver." That is where I want to get to. How do I do it?

    In reference to your "magnet(s) in the paracord end" idea, ~5:15 mark, and credit to John Hudson (rank?), British RAF SERE instructor lead, as seen on one episode of the Discovery channel's show Survive That! (aka 'Dude, You're Screwed', in the US), take your small, narrow, ferro rod and tuck a short piece into the other end of the paracord lace, after removal of the inner threads for a good, tight fit, and heat-seal that end to keep it secure.

    Thanks for your nice videos. Be aware that putting a cellphone inside a Faraday cage (like aluminum foil, a metal can with a metal lid, or a microwave oven), though it does stop signals from reaching the phone, makes the phone try to ping the cell tower over and over looking for a signal, which runs the battery down faster. So, it's not good to do all the time.

    • @paulamcclure3402

    • @jonathanm8197
      @jonathanm8197 6 місяців тому +2

      @paulamcclure3402 Yes, that should help with battery life. I did once read about the government requiring every phone manufacturer to install a tracking chip/transmitter in every phone that can't be turned off, but I don't know how true that is. How such a chip might get enough power to transmit is also debatable, and might not involve the main battery. Either a Faraday cage, leaving the phone in one location while you go elsewhere (thankfully, phones aren't wired into our bodies quite yet), or destroying the phone might be the only ways to defend against that.

    -With the dressing cache, apply the food coloring to the pad of the bandaid and let it seep through. It will look even more realistic. And if you don't have food color, got a red ballpoint? Clip off the ends and the juice will flow. And that empty pen body just looks like a pen, even if you hand a cuff key, a ferro rod, compass magnets and six inches of kevlar in it.
    --The mag bar you can water proof a bit more reliably just with some nailpolish or clear coat, you have to scrape it off but doesn't create as weird a shape with hot spots or leak like tape will- and if you put a little dab of clear coat on then stuff it up into the top of the tongue of a hiking boot or sneaker and let it dry, it will stay there but not be as hard to recover as it would with super glue. Or use rubber cement. And then get a gel insole and put a bit of hacksaw blade who's broken ends you rounded off under it. Tada, hotfoot boot.
    Boots are too useful for concealment. Which is why SOP should be take their boots. Even if they have sandals, leave them barefoot.
