Re: When did you become interested in stealth?

I remember in eighth grade at a book store I bought two different books. "Ninjutsu way of the ninja" and "How to prank for kids". I got super into things back then where I would spend hours planning hypothetical pranks or invasions of castles as if i was a ninja. Eventually I got the idea to post a ...

Freerunning shoes with good grip?

Lately I have been interested in incorporating freerunning and parkour into opping. Mainly for evasion and for reaching high vantage points. I have been in the market for a pair of shoes that would be perfect for this job: very grippy soles, good for running, dark, light, quiet, able to climb fences...

Re: The Wolf, the Serpent and the Eagle

Thank you for typing this all out, this was an amazing read. Kinda made me realize that I spend 90% of my time like the wolf and that I will have to switch it up more in order to work most efficiently. I do not nearly utilize an eagle's perspective as much as I should. Now I am excited to try an ele...

Re: Quickness, Slowness, and Stealth

I have been thinking about this concept a lot lately. Mainly because I have been discovering that unless you can be 100% silent, sometimes one loud noise is infinitely safer than a bunch of creaky footsteps. Sneaking out of the house the other night, my window was being extremely creaky with every m...

Re: What things do you do differently from normal in ops?

that is true about the face covering and I have been searching for a good face cover for a while. A while back I bought a mask meant for airsoft that was made of a spandex-like material but it covered my ears and I could barely hear anything from under it. any suggestions for a mask?

Re: What are some daily ways that you practice?

Ah thank you for that link, that is exactly what I needed. Also I think I will start learning some scaling and rolling parkour just in case I'm ever in a pursuit scenario and need to physically outrun my pursuer. It would definitely come in handy

What things do you do differently from normal in ops?

After extensively reading these forums I have realized that I do some things radically different from what is the "norm" here. I would like to have a discussion of sorts on what is superior in ops. First off, as I still live with my family I treat the escape from my house differently from everyone e...

What are some daily ways that you practice?

I am just getting back into opping after some knee injuries and after school. I am very rusty in pretty much every aspect of opping and don't anticipate being able to complete a full fledged op immediately. What are some ways that you keep your skills honed? Do you lockpick locks around your house? ...

Ideas for Technique-Perfecting Games?

It could help motivate our lazy asses to go out and have some fun while working on perfecting our skills. If you've got an idea, feel free to pos...
