I have a razor blade, a bobby pin, kevlar string wrapped around the bobby pin, a small neodymium magnet with a hole in it thats attached to the kevlar string, and a hand cuff key. All duct taped to the inside rear of my belt(s). Obviously paracord laces are a must. Great video.

More towards the sides allows you to access it from both front and rear bondage, and may also help if your hands are tied/taped to a chair.

If you have them all hidden in one area on your person and it becomes compromised then chances are you will lose all of it. It would be better to use different areas in your clothing for each thing, and some of it can be hidden in plain sight. If it's all bundled together then it might be more obvious to a captor that it's for escape and evasion.

The button key is plastic, so not only will it not be picked up by a metal detector, but it will not make any noise that a metal key will make. Silence is golden!!!
Thank you Andrew for thinking outside of the box.

Many Thank's Andrew for this "touchy" subject,lol! Cheers!
After being arrested at a soccer match in Wales in the 1980s, the tip about zip ties would have been useful as the police zip tied me by one wrist to the ceiling!
I would love to see you expand on this topic with examples of how to hide these things and how to use them to get out of the restraints .
Wyle E. Coyote never had very good luck with Acme products. But now I know where to find ceramic blades. The shims work well on hand cuffs. The hair pin takes a little doing. But practice makes perfect and perfect practice promotes perfect performance. Nicely done, Ranger.

I started practicing picking handcuffs a few months ago after I saw one of your other videos. I found that paper clips work really well for picking handcuffs. Not necessarily to use as a shiv but you can get it in the keyhole and push the mechanism down to open the cuffs. And paper clips are very inconspicuous. Anyway thanks for the video share. I appreciate all of your survival insight. I've learned a lot of neat stuff from watching your channel. Keep up the good work.

I believe you mean "shim" rather than "shiv", fourth line down.
It would be very helpful to see a demonstration of these tools in action, especially with hands restrained behind the back. I'm especially curious about how that cermaic razor blade ca be unwrapped from 100mph tape without cutting up fingers trying to free it and how long that would take. Also worth noting that being caught in possession of a handcuff key is a crime in some jurisdictions.

We kept dedicated scissors for that stuff at work. It would eat up scissors in no time, you could even hear it “crunching” as you cut the tape.

Excellent info! I tie bowline loops on each end of my kevlar cordage that fit my feet. Ready to go for the saw action.
if you KNOW what clothes you will be wearing if/when you get detained, you are all good.....if you DONT....then you would have to have every pair of pants and every pair of boots and every jacket and every belt and on and on ......but, for myself, I always have my boots loaded up with supplies, and my outdoors pants have goodies in them. The hard part is making things accessible when restrained
Thanks for the updates Major. Cheers from Australia.
Man, I’ve taken to caring so many handcuff key is made of plastic like that they’re everywhere. Also got premade Kevlar cord stashed in a variety of places ready to go. There’s some interesting handcuff key options out there that hook onto the end of a shoelace super ultra small stuff. You can carry eight of them and not even know you’ve got them.
Great ideas. I'm having trouble visualizing how to use the cord to cut the zip ties with your hands zipped behind your back.

Maybe tiying a loop at each end of the cord, thread it through the ziptie cuffs, put one foot in each loop, and start pedaling. Never done it, sounds like a struggle, but I guess if it comes to it, it's still better than what lies ahead 😅

Thanks for the info! I didn't realize there were ceramic razor blades. That's going on the list.
You include my favorite multipurpose tool in there. A bobby pin can become a host of things in the right situation- I've picked locks with them (though it's harder than with actual picks), and though I haven't tried I'd wager you could pick a set of standard handcuffs pretty easy.
Another great informative video. Something I'm interested in is your opinions on radios. Could you consider doing a video on radios for rescue and escape and evasion ?
The handcuff key only works on cheap store bought cuffs as demonstrated. The cuffs issued to the police here in Australia have a more complicated locking mechanism. I have tried after asking a police officer friend to show me her cuffs. So this type of kit is for use when escaping bad guys with low end resources or in a low resource non permissive environment
@frankfaubert1927
Ай бұрын
Most quality handcuffs are dual locking so the key has to be turned in one direction to disable the safety lock and then turned in the opposite direction to actually unlock the cuffs. This stops shimming. Anyone who uses cuffs will know to cuff your hands behind you, palms outward and the keyhole facing up. Nasty people will bend your elbows so your fingers are pointing up and aligned with your spine, palms out and the keyhole facing down. Extremely uncomfortable.
Rope or cordage me and other kids tied each other up. Sometimes it toke awhile getting free. A couple of years ago while in those rivet leather handcuffs I used a bench and almost had it ripped in half. But they caught me. A lot of escape techniques use leverage.
I’d like to see how you use the paracord to escape restraints.
Thanks Andrew!
Excellent video! Maybe you could do a video like the handcuffs show us how to get out of the zip ties with the cordage
Andrew has some good information here, some of which correlates with my Camp Mackall tutelage, but more that I learned OJT as a prisoner for 13+ years in NE Asia. One thing he did not elucidate upon was that if your captors do have their shit together, they WILL at the very least take your boot laces and belt. (I believe this is common practice at most US jails, as well.) And should you face becoming a long-term captive, count on being deprived of ALL your clothing, which will be exchanged for whatever prison garb they dole out. In such case, it might behoove you to consider a full on Papillon style kit, called a "plan", which means having some sort of unbreakable, watertight vial, which will hold some bare essentials. From my personal experience, you should include: good tweezers, a tiny Swiss Army knife, a couple wire saws, sewing needles, a universal handcuff key, a small ferrocium rod, ¹/10 and ¼ oz. gold coins and maybe some small gems. (Gems can often be traded with jewelers sans any exchange of identification, especially in the armpits of the universe.) Do not store medicines or candles, as the heat from being stored up your back passage will render them useless.

Cool! Never seen a button cuff key before. That's interesting!
I never quite understood the need for a compass in such situations. If you know your stars and where moss grows on buildings, trees etc, you know the direction well enough to know where you are going unless you are in a desert or other wasteland without discernible landmarks. That's where having a compass makes complete sense. Our Sergeant Major taught us this during what was "an day of SERE briefing" for us as draftees and ever since this advice served me well.

If properly handcuffed,behind the back,palms out, and double locked, the shim would be the best option but still difficult. So try to keep your palms together. The more dexterous can slip the cuffs or step through them getting them to the front.

NO! The shim is the worst option! Shims only work on single locked cuffs dude. Best option is always the kay made for the cuffs most common to where you are going.
Great video buddy
Can ya do a demo of someone or you actually cuffed and show ya gettin' a cuff key out and gettin' yourself free? I see videos on this but never see it applied in a more realistic scenario
There was a lot of great info in this video and I found it quite helpful. I just seem to be missing one important detail here, if I had said items on my person, say in a pants pocket, in my shoe, or taped to the back of a belt, and I am handcuffed, or zipped tied behind my back ad possibly duck taped to the chair I am sitting in as well, how would one gain access to any of the items , and how do I create any leverage enough to utilize them efficiently? To me it's like a catch-22 you first need to escape out of your bonds in order to be able to even access your items that can set you free.

Nice. Thanks for the tips!!!!
I am an old war horse. I think you missed a few, maybe a later video. Double locked handcuffs, Knuckles that are made from plexiglass, making a few weapons. Also while traveling use a deep v cut of wood, for double protection on a door. Great Video.
excellent andrew it is the first time I have seen the button cuff key and the ceramic razors
Saw a WW2 movie where the British soldiers on a special mission all had piano wire in the hem of their tunics to be fitted with a button on each end used as a garrotte. Could this be done with a cable saw instead.
Major Andrew very nice ideas 💡👍🇺🇸
Where can you find one of the plastic cuff keys?
I have been watching a TV show called "Alone". Where they have people go into the Canadian arctic for 60 day with just 10 things. If you last the 60 days you get $400,000. I REALY think you should do it. You would do great. What restraint should I keep in my car? Thank you!
Very cool video. Great tips. Thank you.
Handcuff swivel can be broken in seconds using nothing but leverage against the 2 links when they're kinked against each other. No need to pick or carry a shim. At that point you have bracelets.
Please elaborate how in the world a para cord would saw through the zip tie
Good stuff here, very interesting!

The tape can be ripped using body leverage. The zip ties as well. Maybe not that thick one. The handcuff chain can be wrapped around itself and use leverage against both cuffs too snap the chain. The videos exist on KZread how too do these and real examples.

Most people are uncomfortable to run barefoot in an unfamiliar environment especially if it’s dark so it’s common for captors to remove shoes from hostages. Belts are often taken as well to discourage escape. Inside the hem of clothing is preferred for concealing.
