Nice guide. I never really considered covering my eyes for glare. Last time I was caught it was because of a spotlight but I was cornered and they yelled for us to come out.

The rubber paint is black, I'm sure you can paint right over the sole to make it a bit thicker and stealthier.

The BSC site should work out, try there:

For me it's much simpler, I enjoy sneaking around and being stealthy and resourceful. It's my idea of a good time. I appreciate the night and the feeling of being invisible and unique in my activities but those are to prominent in my thoughts, I just enjoy sneaking from time to time.

I don't carry a weapon as such per say. I carry a small folding knife, but I carry that all the time anyway, not just for operations. I'm pretty confident with my ability to bounce if I need to vanish, fighting-wise, I'm probably better than average but I'd still rather roll out than stick around if...

A surplus place is great but prices are steep (but quality is awesome). Other than that, improvise, you don't need the latest hi-tech James Bond wetsuit to sneak into a yard. Get gear according to your situation. If you can get online and have it shipped to a friend, that'll work too.

stealththief

I'd personally say get it brown, works in most areas I feel. The ghillie idea is great I can easily see how useful a ghillie sash/blanket would be. Also I've seen a ghillie cloak in action, and it works great.

"It was a pleasant ride. The ease of it all raised the philosophical question: If no one asks for a ticket, is there really a fare?

This is something that I wrote for a friend for an information compilation he's making but I might as well share it here too. Not everything is completely NO related but I'm sure if you're going to do water stuff you can pull info from it: Urban Nokizaru's Intro to Sui Ren Sui Ren is all that deals ...

I found it as a scarf in a clothing store, I remembered the video and bought it. Mine is dark blue but it works still.

stealththief

A friend gave me a balaclava (she's down with me doing "ninja stuff"). It's really warm, but since it has three holes (eye, eye, mouth) it's comfortable in colder weather, and hearing is fine. I like the rubbing fingers test to see sound sensitivity. I usually just use a bandanna and/or hood in othe...

Urban Heights Was going through old posts and I saw what Therin wrote thought I'd write up some stuff on urban heights and the way to deal with various things you'll encounter up there. Heights in general: When you're high up you need to usually avoid skylining (silhouetting) since you're probably a...

Don't forget about carding and shimming. Also a lot of padlocks will pop open if you throw a cloth through the top and give it a yank.

stealththief

Hey, welcome to the forums. Be sure to check out the resource section, you can learn a ton from all the info in there.

stealththief

I think Expedient B&E (you can probably find the PDF laying around the internet) has some alarm info in it. Psych also knows his share of alarm info.

stealththief

Hey, welcome to the forum, share some stories and learn some tactics.

stealththief

One observer sitting on a hill or in a tree with binoculars and camouflage. Two infiltrators, rocking black or grey or brown (depends on the compound). These guys can carry whatever equipment, depending on how elaborate you want to make it, they could have mirrors and flashlights or laptops and tran...

stealththief

I agree with the low crawl but I often end up QMing when there is enough cover so I guess I nominate that. I like the walking techniques of the Iga Ninja (sideways walking, stealth walking) as well as the chimneying techniques from rock climbing to get up between two or more vertical planes. There's...

stealththief

Welcome to the sight. I'm glad you have some stories to tell.

stealththief

Usually woodland bdu or some type of cargo pants plus either a shirt or hoody, it's usually what I'm wearing when the opportunity presents itself. I'm in dark sneakers or watershoes in the summer and sneakers or boots in the winter.

I was on my city's parkour forum and someone posted a link (http://www.climbinggearonline.com/Five-Ten-Stealth-Paint/p/IX67ZEAM;jsessionid=BFBF3F29F9266710DF765855F09FFBD4.app2-delorean) for Five Ten Stealth paint (it's a really grippy rubber great for parkour and climbing all that.

Hey, welcome to the forum. Happy to know you're experienced and willing to learn.

Here's a video I particularly enjoy, more homebrew ninja techniques.

The sash idea is pretty cool and not hard to pull off. I've gotten one myself and it works great, also makes a good scarf or mask.

Fnd the longest narrowest staircase you can, QM down it, then back up (head down), works stamina and upper body and core. Also crawling quickly for long periods of time is more exhausting than I'd have though. This will be brutal at the hospital where I work at. They have 6 floors of pretty steep s...

For chain link I usually wall run up as high as I can, grab on and climb with my hands and feet. If I can't wall run (noise) I just start climbing or jump then climb. I don't have a specific climbing technique for chainlink, just alternate hand and foot.

stealththief

I would want to teach things in order of relevance. Everyone walks and everyone needs to know how to escape, so those would be first. Maybe some climbing and crawling next as those come in often. Some hiding techniques (just basics). Keep going as is seen fit. Like on your average op you'll probably...

stealththief

Thanks for the effort, I've been looking all over to and no luck...

stealththief

Yea, apparently the book is full of stories like that where the author snuck into places.

stealththief

That's 3-D camouflage, it works well close up and long distance the texture is great because it's easy to over look.

stealththief

Welcome to the forum, glad to have more experienced operatives on the site. Read around and feel free to share or ask anything.

stealththief

I'm with you, I train (myself and ninja buddies) in both stealth and speed movement, both for infiltration and escape, for example I teach speed vaulting along side a low silhouette-less vault for stealth, different options for different situations.

stealththief

Seems like it could be great for covert beacons or messaging if a code was set up between participants.

stealththief

I do the car thing, camera thing and or course PIR but not the magnetic switches, don't deal with those too often.

stealththief

Gonna tell you to go out and do stuff, read a bit but not too much, don't focus on gear, with enough experience you'll improvise through anything (almost). Welcome to the forums. On a side note I had a really strange landlord named Minto a while ago, he had a ton of buildings but didn't live in any ...

stealththief

If I spotted another operative: A year or two ago, the answer to this wouldn't been knock them out and take their gear, this is my turf. Now though I'd probably shadow them home/where ever they're going. Depending on their op (night op, black op, training, other), I might try to contact them in the ...

I love assassin's creed I can't wait to play the new one it looks awesome. With time the sight comes naturally, super useful on the fly and during recon.

stealththief

The site name is fine like this I feel. No real need to change it, if the price for the old domain gets cheaper, great snatch it up if not leave it as is.

stealththief

I usually carry an L-necked military flashlight with a red removable filter. If I feel I really need a lot of light or won't be seen I carry a 99 cent store LED light that's super bright.

stealththief

Don't own a gun, don't carry a gun. In an urban setting I feel it would be ridiculous, way to many places to hide/escape, carrying a gun would also be really stupid if any cops around decide I'm to shady.

stealththief

I like bandannas or hoods or some combination of both. Like a shemagh or a knife the bandanna does a ton of different things. It's easy to tie and doesn't restrict hearing or vision. Grab a second one (or couple it with a hood in colder weather) and you have your whole head covered, pull it down wit...

stealththief

I'd be down to help, I can explain any parkour techniques, stealth movements, and whatever else I post information about.

Their legitimacy is on and off, I feel it comes from the way they train and have been trained. Some are ex-mil and know what they're doing in terms of that but their other sources of knowledge vary and can't all be reliable. I'll take what works and ditch the rest.

stealththief

Glad you got back into it and got your pk eyes back. Besides Jump London and Jump Britain some good parkour movies to watch are Yamakasi, Les Fils du Vent/The Great Challenge, District B13 and the second one that's supposed to come out soon.

In the winter I usually use winter gloves, (either a leather pair with some cotton ones underneath or some puffy synthetic ones). I hate to admit that I don't use gloves that much i the warmer seasons unless I take the time out to thoroughly plan an op.

stealththief

It's totally good enough that it's worth the repost IMO.
