This is freaking awesome! Thank you so much for talking about the tactics that others will not

[Centermass]

I fucking hate PowerPoint briefings when I was in the military and here I find myself watching a PowerPoint refresher on YouTube in my free time. What happened to me?

[jackhartsough]

Boy does it feel like a treasure when I find a channel like this thats still somewhat unknown ❤

[CharacterMatterz]

My buddy Pete was a Seabee (C.B.) in the Navy, and worked overseas. He told me he went through sere, and didn't poop for days while hiding. An instructor smelled a silent but deadly fart he couldn't help but pass, and they caught him. It was a great and funny story, even if it may have been embellished somewhat to highlight the hilarity of being beat up over a fart. The instructor told him to, in a real sitch, dig a hole and poop at night or poop in water, because you can't move as fast if you're all backed up... Thank you for your service and your friendship, Pete. Peace....

If an official policeman is arresting you for something unlawfully, then those restraints are definitely unlawful restraints

[EngNerdGMN]

We have an entire system set up for recovering military members behind enemy lines.
American citizens get left behind in Afghanistan.

Speaking of legality, same goes for this type of thing as your CCW. Make sure you belong to something like US Law Shield or one of the others. Those legal firms specialize in justified shootings, self defense and they know what to file and when to file it by to protect you from both criminal cases and civil lawsuits which ruin your life. They cost around $100.00 bucks a year. just purchase one less Gucci Camo item a year and you're covered.

Cover. Your. Ass. PS, Awesome video, as usual top content

[Kcrimlen]

Thank you for standing up for our constitutional rights, no one else will do it for us! This is public knowledge, and everyone should operate under the premise that it's already been available to criminals and our adversaries.

The term "hacker" had more stigma before people realized how publishing exploits keeps companies honest and motivated them to patch closed software that's full of holes. Also, people are now more aware of their data, in general, because they now understand how it's collected, stored and it's use caeses.

[rezganger]

i love the "currently" in the disclaimer. lol

[RemyISnow]

I got offered a SERE slot then rejected when I applied, in typical military fashion 😂

[johnwolfen]

SERE is a good concept but for us civilians you're correct, unless you live is South America or Mexico where the past time is hostage and ransom. I have found in my travels that some countries don't allow private persons to carry handcuff keys, England is one such country. I'm thinking at point some the States here will also adopt such laws.

For myself I live in a very restrictive State almost as bad as New York or Massachusetts.
I'm choosing to leave my home state very soon for one that is less restrictive. I'm doing everything on the list except changing my ID. I don't see a reason for that yet.

[frankyshoes]

I'm liking the concept of "Fighting in the shade" yous are really doing a public service!! Mabey, just

[timucintarakc]

dayum your videos are more informative than so called "veteran" boomers channels despite your young age.

[jacobgill]

Went to high school with a guy who had double jointed shoulders..he could interlock his fingers behind his back and just move his arms right over his head to the front never break his grip..it was freaky

[dirtyaznstyle]

Just gonna say, maybe it’s just me but I know if I were restraining someone I make it a point to not make it easy to escape. Key facing palms is just not doing the job properly. I’d be pissed if someone escaped and I was the one who put the cuffs on em. It’s a competition, whether trying to escape or restraining someone there is skill involved either way and whether I’m the escapee or the captor I play to win

[gotkittys]

I know that you must stress being law abiding. In any situation, any civilian or non government actor is massively breaking dozens of laws by doing any dissenting actions, even speech, written or just the wrong opinions or political views.
At some point, one just has to do what they must.

[RAMZAVFX]

Holy crap coming back to the old vids the beginner mic hits different 😂

[nicholasquintero]

There's a mix match of various techniques proctored by correctional SOG groups but it's more of an advisory on what to watch out for. That being said I wish I knew you guys cuz I would break you off with a lot of different restraint escapes that I had to master in order to teach.

[charlesjohnson]

You mentioned in another very recent video, the first that I had ever seen a couple of days ago, that you don't know why your videos are suddenly being recommended. Allow me to speculate. Suppose a tech company or two, in cooperation with one or more federal agencies, wished to identify people disposed to viewing this kind of content under some theory or another. Supposed that said federal agencies wished to introduce some of these people to new "friends" who may work for said agencies. These friends might then attempt to lead these targets to join certain groups and progressively do things to which they might not otherwise be disposed, but, hey, peer pressure. After all, the Jan 6 "insurrection" story is falling apart and losing effectiveness. Fresh meat needed?

[JRassi_Militaria]

Go ahead and add 'butterfly' hand positioning to your 8 ways to apply handcuffs. I was a prison guard for 10 years. I never cuffed anyone any other way than double locked, behind back, hands butterflied apart, unless they could produce medical documentation to contrary before removing them from their cell... THEN you add in proper escort techniques to prisoner movement... also, it's standard practice to keep your cuffs loaded in the pouch in such a way as to make both the single bar and key holes locate in the most secure locations so you don't have to remember it in the heat of the moment.
