Night Ops

stealththief

Hey welcome to the forums, read up and post some good stories.

29:00 = A real night op to me. ("Derby Rooftop Mission") Spot on, well executed - albeit disappointed with the finish. (Coming down so close to the van!) I didn''t think but you're right, just exploring like us, at night by stealth (through parkour), similar to my roof ops. I wish the architecture ...

These guys cover a great deal of stealth, I talk to Andre a bit online, they have military experience, their info is great. Check their mobility and sniper sections.

I talk about QM a ton, it's short for quadrupedal movement, some exercises/parkour techniques. They're useful for all kindsa stuff. A great exercise is to cat walk up stairs backwards (or down stairs forwards). They're all good for coordination and for ridiculous balance and body awareness catwalk o...

It's more of a for fun/old school training thing, but if you have some free time go for it, can't do any harm.

stealththief

Wear black if you make sure not to silhouette, wear a dark brown, blue, grey or green otherwise.

stealththief

Thanks for the tips I'll probably cruise around the hardware store, youtube and martial arts websites see what I can come up with.

stealththief

Agreed, everyone loves an exciting story. Glad you're getting into it so quickly.

Not sure really, I was at Home Depot and saw the PVC (which is dirt cheap) and remembered some black paint I had and decided to make one. Might incorporate it into ninja training, probably won't come out on night ops unless it's real specific and necessary (read:never).

I remember people talking on and off about blow guns. I just made a blowgun, was wondering what kind of darts do people use/make/buy. The blowgun I made is a design I got from Snookytoeflips "ninja tips" video:

and the tube is 1/2 inch PVC.
Thanks.

Black should be your all around color, it works everywhere ('cept maybe a desert) but it's not the best anywhere, as it can silhouette you. Woodland (either digital or blotches) works well in the suburbs because it works fine as general darkness camo. I used to advocate dark blue but I don't like it...

stealththief

Some general tips:
Make sure you know your partners' abilities and your own before going out.
Travel light, you can always come back another night with more gear.
Go slowly all the time, going fast is for movies or large open spaces that must be dashed.

stealththief

Psych you have the idea perfectly, normally people being chased feel that they are being hunted/victimized/whatever, but the idea here is to fight on your own terms and make it clear. It's not gonna be easy to set up and ambush if you're chasing someone, vice versa is simple though.

stealththief

Different strokes for different folks I guess. But I do see a decline in the straight up NO style that people appreciated a lot before, associated with ninjas and splinter cell... I've personally never been able to do many operations like that unless they begin and end in a park because of my highly...

stealththief

Welcome to the forums Saaber. Don't worry about a boring first op, they'll get better as you progress. Glad to have you on the forum.

stealththief

I'm reading this right now and it's not bad at all. The ideas can be applied to NO (or anything ever remotely martial). It's interesting, but also practical. I recommend you guys check it out if you're big planners, tacticians or strategist. Overall worth the read even with NO aside. Real easy to fi...

stealththief

Hey, welcome to the site, we're going through a dead zone right now but don't let it stop you from learning or going out to op.

stealththief

Not gonna spam up the page with a ton of links and writing each photo has a comment explaining it, there's some ninja stuff mixed you can ignore if you wanna. Once I get back to my apartment (after vacation) I'll have more pics of everything else: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v516/mdemon9991/Ge...

stealththief

Hey Und, welcome here, glad you found your way here it's a great site.

stealththief

I deal with these a lot, Crisis hates them. What I do is pop up so that I'm holding myself up on my arms with my hands between spikes, with my waist around the top bar. After that I put on foot in between spikes, keeping my hands on the fence, from there you can either bring up the second leg and ju...

stealththief

Improvise, pillowcase works well, you can also use folded clothes or anything you can form into a bag.

stealththief

Hey welcome to NO, glad to have an experienced guy around.

stealththief

Exactly, sorry to derail the topic but the philosophy is flawed in the way that the followers believe that the new monopoly-dictator company would be caring and compassionate to others... In reality with no limitations (think laws and regulations) Microsoft would enslave the human race and force us...

stealththief

It's bullshit. I'm not sure if they're serious with it or being sarcastic as a "revolutionary" site, but the idea is capitalism and free markets with no restrictions whatsoever, which initially sounds good in terms of pricing and all that until you remember that without trade laws and restrictions t...

stealththief

I usually wear a black or camouflage jumbo bandanna. It's breathable and light, not the best for winter but it's really versatile. With two the whole head is covered and hearing isn't really hindered. When it's colder I usually have a beanie and an neck warmer or a scarf. The neck warmer is great be...

This site has some cool gear, I hate their philosophy (anarcho-capitalism) but the gear seems legit.

There's also a way to make them from nails, i think the "spike" version: http://www.diggerhistory.info/images/weapons-recent/caltrops.jpg which looks like it would be a lot more effective than the "bent metal sheet" version: http://www.portkarmerchant.com/catalog/images/nj-6.jpg on someone wearing ...

stealththief

I really like the first one you got up (of the new two).

stealththief

My forum is not too active

, you might wanna check out zoklet, I lurk around there without an account and it seems not bad, people being serious mixed in with people messing around.

stealththief

I like the first two a lot, would like more of a silhouette on the sky line one (like lights off in the buildings) but that's just because of my urban opping background, no idea if it would look better art-wise.

stealththief

Either of those is fine with me, end result is the same either way. Thanks

stealththief

I'm looking for a digital version of a book called "No Ticket, No Problem!" it's a guide/stories about sneaking into events and shows and stuff like that, if anyone has a link could they post it or PM.
Thanks

stealththief

I've written a stealth guide recently. It's a PDF and I need to find a way to get it online when I get it online I'll let you guys know. Until then you can IM me or send your email and I'll pass you the guide via email. EDIT: Here's the link to the guide (my fire escape guide is also there). http://...

I got the idea when I was chasing a guy at night and he flipped over a fence he didn't see and his coat got stuck on it.

stealththief

This is an idea I had after watching some butteryass mondays videos and doing parkour. The idea is to make an area you feel you'll op in a lot or might have to escape through more practical for you. It doesn't have to be anything to drastic and if you do it right you can soften up a place without an...

stealththief

They seem like a normal good pair of BDU. If/Once you get them tell me how that urban camouflage pattern works, if it's really good I'll look around stores in my area for a pair.

stealththief

Here's something a friend showed me, a few stealth ideas that aren't bad. For the bad thing I'd recommend tying off the top and cutting open the bottom to make it look normal.

I usually jog short distances in them on and off, and then do stealth walking when I feel like it, with them on.

stealththief

Nice stuff, I like getting onto roofs, moving away from groups of people without them noticing, and various small things like that. I never heard of the shadow boxing thing though, I'll try it out some time. I've recently gotten a bokken (wooden sword) and I've realized that it makes for great stren...

stealththief

Glad I got you motivated to take up parkour. It's great times and will improve your night ops a lot.

stealththief

Yea that's a good way to look at it. I never thought of it that way.

stealththief

Please feel free to add any information about transversing rooftops/buildingtops, ladders, or other fire escape information. I don't seem to remember anyone ever writing a guide about that sort of thing before, and it could really benefit urban oppers everywhere. (especially ones just starting out ...

stealththief

The monkey, kong, dash and kash vaults are some of the scariest to learn. They require both of your hands to be on the obstacle and you feet are placed in positions that initially are uncomfortable. I'm going to go over them in order of difficulty. These vaults are easy to mess up so take it slow wi...

stealththief

This is a good documentary on parkour I found. It explains what parkour is, it's history and also the obstacles that the discipline faces. I know some of you want to start parkour or already train so thought I'd share my find.

Hey Moonwalker, welcome to the forum. Despite my name I share the same philosophy on my night ops, unless I'm pulling a prank on a friend.

stealththief

Not sure how long people have been using these but they seem awesome. Does anyone know if it only works on car glass or if it's for every kind? Also where can you find spark plugs?

Fire Escapes If you've read my ops you'll know that I use fire escapes all the time. They're useful for all kinds of stuff, I use them to get onto roofs and rooflets mostly but you can get at windows, and adjacent buildings as well. I'm going to explain what I can from my experience on fire escapes....

stealththief

In a run you'll often come across walls that are in your way or close to other obstacles, these may have to be climbed or they could be used to clear other obstacles. The wall techniques I'm going to go over are the tic tac vault, the tic tac, vertical and horizontal wall runs and a variation of the...

Someone on a ninjutsu forum I'm part of posted this and it seems like it might be useful but not fail safe, description says it might not work on wild or very aggressive or deaf dogs. Check it:

Born you crazy lol. I'm exploring for fun in these situations, non-military, I assume everyone isn't hostile although being seen is still unwanted.
