Night Ops

I have one of those red light filters on my light and I must say it does preserve your night vision better than a normal light... But mine's only for a 'OMG I can't see jack shit' moment...

Nice kit bro... Always good to keep is simple :D I haven't got a lot - my main loadout consists of: - SOG Knife - Multitool - Lockpicks - Black BDU pants - Black shirt - Small maglite - Black running shoes Nothing too flash... But I do have some stuff for special purposes like crowbars and all that...

Anyone have any tips? I'm generally quite fit but I find myself sometimes struggling to pull myself up ledges / lift heavy objects as easily as I'd like...

What would one do to build strength in the arms etc.

There's no substitute for improvisation. Even the best plans can't anticipate everything. You'd better be able to roll with the punches.

Add some ball bearings or something.... KA-POW!

But seriously, this is badass!

Yeah thats pretty sweet ay! I'm gonna havta kick my ass into gear and get more motivated... Recently I've just been so lazy - getting unfit because of it...

I'll just blame it on the icy cold southern hemisphere weather...

Ah it's good someone knows what I'm talking about... - one of the places I was in had them almost everywhere inside the building - pain in the ass much, but at least they weren't proper locks that I would have to pick...

The locks on some doors inside buildings (where you press a button on the doorknob to lock it) can be easily unlocked... get a coin or similar width object and place it in the small strip on the outside of the doors knob. Then turn it and wa-la! I'll post pics soon to show what I'm talking bout

Haah I didn't realise until you said bout that art reference... And byw is anyone from NZ on here?

Good thing she wouldn't know what it was if she found some...

If the op is serious, (not just a random excursion) I review my intel, clean my gear and just generally prepare for the mission... Hydrate properly, eat a small meal a few hours beforehand and by then, you're ready to head off.

I hide small bits of my kit in various technology related boxes. My parents have yet to find it, or even move the boxes for that matter. Clothes are easy to explain... It's funny, my mom threw away a can filled with a thermite mixture cause she thought it was rubbish...

I've always been a single edge guy, I guess just because I try to use my knife as a tool most of the time. More of a camper/survivor mentality than that of a fighting one. A single edge actually has plenty of pros to it, hollow ground knives have way more chopping power and are capable of being muc...
