Fraud ^^ All I see here is "I can do this, I can do that... I just never got it on tape"

1 go to shed

2 secure it with tools

3 use metal rod to twist chain apart

4 make separate video

5 post on youtube

Can't believe you have this many fooled, or are you just deleting the responses that doesn't please you?

@AtotehZ This was done on National TV. It was also done live on stage at DEFCON 18.  DEFCON and BlackHat are Fraud? Deviant Ollam and TOOOL are fraud? Kelly Alwood fraud? Be respectful and learn.

P.S.- I had a thought: Do you have any videos/pictures of how to do the Apache Limp Wire Trap? Looked & couldn't find anything in books or videos. On that subject, do you have any recomendations for books/DVDs on stealth/high-speed survival? Heard a lot about it, but found little info. P.P.S.- Are there any "travel survival" references you'd recomend? Like problems that you can run into (especially now), if the nation's a warzone, how things run there. At a loss for researching ability.

[KellyAlwood]

@Atkrdu I do have a video up on the trap working. One that I built. But I dont have an instructional video of how to build it. I am currently filming a complete trapping video series right now though.

The advanced survival class or "Beyond SERE" course is probably what you are looking for. No real good books on it. Some are ok, with crap mixed in.

The "Urban Escape and Evasion" course will fit that bill perfectly.  That is what we designed it for.

I only had so many characters YouTube would let me use, but I also wanted to ask if you could do a video demonstration. Maybe one in front of you & one behind your back? I don't mean to come off like I've got my hand out, but this is a very interesting topic. P.S.- How would you do duct tape restraints or those new wire ties that have the metal band in them? Also, what about regular chains, or wire for that matter? It seems the more I think about the topic, the more questions I develop.

[KellyAlwood]

@Atkrdu I have done videos of breaking cuffs several times on National TV. G4TV and CNN. Ive also picked them on National TV. And I do at every class I teach. The duct tape and flexicuffs and rope and all others are covered in the class. They are all Very escapable with several different methods. All are covered in my classes, Urban Escape and Evasion for professionals, and Anti-kidnapping classes for the public.

Thank you for your comments.

I SIMPLY FLEX!

AAAAAARRRHHH

This will not work if the person is properly handcuffed behind their backs.

In fact I doubt it would work with hands in front as the point where the cuffs would bind wouldn't give enough room to snap them.

Looks great when the cuffs aren't on. Let's see you do it when they're on.

@AtotehZ cute, why don't you listen to what he said... go buy a pair.. and actually put it to use.. when you break them don't bitch about the money you just lost... just feel like a fool

[nickerbocker57]

@AtotehZ I have no idea if this guy was actually on instructor at SERE, but I do know for a fact that SERE does teach these types of skills, and the instructors that teach this course have so much knowledge its ridiculous. Without doubt the best thing the Air Force has to offer, which is why the rest of the branches send their High security clearance personnel there to learn.

12:04, what you all came here for. You are welcome.

btw, the whole thing is worth watching to see the methodology behind it.

[AtotehZ]

@Makron5 He obviously likes doing it... don't you like getting paid for doing what you like?

[Makron5]

@AtotehZ Who the hell is going to go to trouble for $10 ?

[AtotehZ]

@KellyAlwood I'll pay you 10 dollars on a paypal account of your preference if you post a video where you escape cuffs this way.. it has include the following:

1 Be 101% unedited, preferably with the camera timer on screen.

2 Show the cuffs you're about to escape from in detail, link by link and the part that's in contact with your skin.

3 Of course they have to be original, of the same model as the ones you claim you've escaped from and not altered in any way.
