Night Ops

Illusion

First up, a big thanks to Secant for the new website. I liked it a lot, a hell of a lot actually - I feel it really demonstrated what NightOps is about and is a further step in the right direction. I was just wondering if there was any plans to allow photo linking now we're an open forum? On a simil...

Illusion

mmm, you guys have given me an idea. I'd quite like to practice something similar - don't have anything really tactical to use as shelter, as my poncho was something else I leant out and never got back! (Along with a shemagh that was removed from my PLCE webbing when I let someone use it :/) If I ca...

Illusion

I've been going around the web and have bookmarked quite a few different things I've found.

I could send .jpg copies of the pages using one of those firefox plugins that screenshots the entire page, if anyone is interested?

Try and get a cheap surplus military poncho - i.e http://www.surplusandadventure.com/shop/clothing/gore-tex-waterproofs/solid-colour-waterproofs/olive-us-ripstop-nylon-poncho-347789.html Roll the hood and tie it tight. There will be holes all around the poncho - wack two tent pegs into 2 corners and...

Illusion

I didn't look at the photo but I would think less people the better. I wish I could be apart of this. Seems like you might need pepper spray. What is the goal? Why this place on Xmass? Yeah, If it does amount to more than 4 then we'll break down into small parties - one being purely recce, perhaps ...

Illusion

Well, funnily enough I nearly made a thread about how concerned I was that there was a stage I was seeing of new users all the time, but they just seemed to read and then vanish.. did make me wonder a little bit about the stuff thats posted on here, and why people would be taking such an interest wi...

Illusion

Following on from the "Guide Request" idea in the Suggestions forum, I thought this could be a good way of getting it rolling. The idea being you post a topic you wish to know more about, and someone (hopefully) volunteers to write a guide on the topic and post it. The catch being that you should re...

Basically this is a glossary of climbing terms, explanations on various techniques as well as information on gear. Very good to flick across!

Illusion

Psychlonic has hit the disadvantages spot on; To combat the lack of vision you may want to look at wraparound goggles - as far as I know, thats what the British Army issue when off too sandy places. Reflectivity is a pain in the ass; but I would assume tactical goggles would take some kind of steps ...

I'm looking to get some SRT kit when I finally manage to convince some bastard to give me a job! :P Now I see kits going at Â£200+ which, seems very steep to me! I'm going to aim for something similar to this here.. http://www.hitchnhike.co.uk/acatalog/srt_kit_standard.html I have quickly planned wh...

Illusion

We've established their is a rough connection between NightOps and an interest in the military, however what about other interests that you may have? 1. What are your personal skills? 2. What job would you like ideally? 3. Are we all "Jack-Of-All-Trade" drifters? 4. How do you tie your skills togeth...

Illusion

File names are another massive aspect I overlooked. In fact, a lot of secure erasure tools will do something like this... moddy@moddy-laptop:~$ shred -u -z -v ez_setup.py shred: ez_setup.py: pass 1/26 (random)... shred: ez_setup.py: pass 2/26 (924924)... shred: ez_setup.py: pass 3/26 (111111)... shr...

Illusion

Psychlonic has touched on a really good point - Encryption confirms the location of data which is obviously sensitive. This is one reason I mention keeping it on a USB pen drive and being prepared to dispose of it.. If you're concerned about official authorities, it may be worth noting any encryptio...

Illusion

In this community we're in the unique position of having a massive skill-set - with a variety of people with a variety of talents and skills. At the moment the forum appears to be in the process of a big resurgence and should be gaining strength. We have a supply of guides through Psychlonic howevev...

Illusion

This wasnt intended to be quite as paranoid as it turned out to be, I'm not 100% sure on it really. It was something I was interested in and I couldn't find any documents whatsoever on it - so I thought I'd put what I know down on paper! Lets clear a few things up - By no means am I an expert on th...

When I worked fixing Apple systems - I was introduced to the old style white iMacs (THIS IS ON TOPIC, DONT WORRY :P). Now to open these up you had to have an "Access Card" - http://www.synaptech.com/catalog/images/922-7172.gif Thats an official one, and its flimsy and only usable about 5 or so times...

Dogs are trained - almost like software is programmed, if you throw something it doesn't expect at it then its screwed. For example; I knew someone an ex police dog handler who said when they used to train (this was ages ago) they didn't do a lot of shouting or screaming on behalf of the "baddie". N...

Bump for COFFE - http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1561911/microsoft-bothered-cofee-leak Its not that amazing, officially only supports WinXP but appears to have functionality for Win2k, Win2k3, WinXP and WinVista.

Illusion

I got my combats/BDU pants from a market stool about 3 years ago! Within a week they'd lost a button off one of the bits that hold a belt kit on - but apart from that they served me well and are still in use! I agree about checking buttons though - its the one thing I always check now. Nite-Eyez LED...

I carry minimals to ensure that if the shit hit the fan I don't have more things in my possession to get done on a higher charge. Sometimes I've even dropped the multi-tool if I didn't think I'd need it! (Despite most blades being under 3 inches, I don't trust police at times) Although, If I do take...

Illusion

I've never really been one for looking too deeply into what we do - I've always liked to scratch the surface and read about things like kit, techniques and other peoples experiences. However, when I read this book I saw just how some of these small little quotes were so apt for us too - so I felt I ...

Illusion

ThereIn; Yeah - I'm not 100% sure but there was at least someone with a similar name. The thing about this guy was, well - reading his book I often get a feel he took an approach to urbex which was very similar to NightOps at times - more so than most Urban Explorers I have come across. stealththief...

Illusion

Cheers guys! I'm gonna expand a little bit, sort out the catalogue of typing errors and maybe add a further reading bit at the end. stealththief - Yep, Its how I practiced but I never did it as structured as I've wrote it. Really, I dived in a little headfirst - I guess once you've done it and you t...

Illusion

Its been a long night and I've re-read this a few times, but my concentration is lacking slightly! If theres any errors I apologise and I'll clean up soon! There are several key skills which are necessary for one to succeed at Urban Exploration in the night; In this (short) document I aim to provid...

Some excellent words of advice from Sebastien Foucan and his book "Freerunning: Find Your Way". The bold quotes are his words, and the text is my interpretation on how we can apply these words to NO. Don't Compete Competition is everywhere, but if you're competing then you're only trying to beat tho...

Was flicking through the "Access All Areas" book, by the late Ninjalicious (founder of Infiltration) and found this little gem; My friend Sean and I used to play a game of our own invention called Can't Be Seen. It probably should have had a cooler name, but oh well, atleast its memorable. Wearing d...

Following on from Operation Clear Skies, I have another tower on my target-list! I have suggested that we welcome in the new year with the great London fireworks display, which is always awesome. However, last year it did get a bit tiring after a while waiting.. I mean, I loved the party atmosphere ...

This is the planning phases of an operation; posted in this forum for advice and a place for me to pool any information I recieve.

Illusion

Yeah, I think I'll get some dark tape.

Until then the spray paint has actually subdued it enough! It was good enough to take the other night anyway.

Illusion

When I made mine, I used a 2 AA body that extended past the palm of the hand. It wasn't compact, and I never planned on taking it with me since I only carry regular picks and wrenches. If I were to redo it? I'd likely use one of those flashlights that have a 3 AAA battery cylinder in the handle so ...

Illusion

Wow, never even thought about military locations - but just from what I've seen over here visiting training establishments and reserve bases; I can fully see how that could work. I guess as long as you stick to the dress regs, hold yourself with the correct levels of respect for rank structure, know...

Illusion

Sounds like a brilliant idea!

Just out of interest, how big a flashlight do you use as housing?

Illusion

Yeah I hope the vinyl paint helps. It might be worth your time to spray down something useless with it and toss it in the washing machine because I have no idea how it would cope with that sort of thing. By the way...

Illusion

I use ThereIn's method - one thing to bear in mind is FOOTWEAR! I'm forever getting my boots stuck in between the spikes in these fences. Its not good to go and jump free and finding your feet stuck!

Also, look out for gates and just go the easy way using the lock/handle as a foothold.

Illusion

I just thought it'd be interesting to hear everyone's main methods that they use when they op. For example... The Hi-Viz Man Best used in: - New constructions - Demolition sites - Utility buildings + drains + masts etc This method is so simple and its almost sure to work! The idea is simple - you dr...

Illusion

I've been active! I just forget about forums.

I may have a few write-ups to do though!

Illusion

Wow, I'd be infuriated. Is the rule in England that anything confiscated you never get back? Nah, luckily! All our kit was "bagged and tagged" upon arrest, all that was confiscated was purely pending the investigation. That was generally computer equipment seized from our houses, USB disks, memory ...

Illusion

Unfortunately, I can't think of anything that would remove the substance without ruining the dye in the fabric. Acetone would certainly work, and the best I can offer is that I've wiped things off with rags soaked in it without the color coming out, but by no means is this any hint of what might ha...

Yeah, I figured the Acetone would fuck it up - was going to dab a bit on a edge first just to test the waters.

Illusion

ahh.. My love - Flashlights. I use my 3D Maglite, Its a green model and has lasted me about 3 and a half years now - its been dropped multiple stories, submerged in drains, smashed through fuckloads - and apart from the cosmetic damage (which kinda makes it look cooler :P) it still functions like it...

Nearly forgot to ask - anyone got one of those slash-resistant kevlar hoodies?

Summer/Autumn - Was black combats with a dark t-shirt. Even in the winter I find it hard to wear more than a t-shirt during an op, sometimes I just get too warm.. :/ Autumn/Winter - Well, tonight will be the first op of the really cold weather - so black combats, a casual black shirt, navy blue hood...

Yeah, I've seen District B13 before! Was worth a watch.
