We’re going to deviate from our Fishing Knots this week to bring you one of our favorite knots, the Eye Splice.
Splicing a rope is a tremendous skill to learn, and will benefit you time and time again.
This technique creates a permanant modification to a rope. The difference between a splice and a knot is that no matter how strong your knot is, it can still come untied. [Read More…]

We’ve never considered ourselves a News Web site, and try to stay away from political issues, but this is just something that hits way to close to home for us.
Hopefully you all remember the horrible incident depicted in this image, where four Blackwater contractors were ambushed by insurgents on March 31, 2004.
They were subsequently dragged from their vehicles, burned, paraded through the streets and strung up on this bridge across the Euphrates in Fallujah, Iraq. [Read More…]

ITS has done a nice job of talking about blowout kit development and even producing their own ETA Kit, so today I want to talk about the finer points of stopping bleeding.
When I teach trauma medicine to young Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines I typically see a great deal of fear and apprehension in their eyes and their actions. But, by the time I am done, they are transformed into confident lifesavers undaunted by pints of blood… How do I do it? [Read More…]

Our Knot of the Week series continues this week with a fishing knot known as the Snell Knot.
Snelling a hook is a common practice in fishing to maintain an even, straight line pull on the fish.
It’s also know to increase catch rates due to the hook staying inline and not moving side to side, as with tying to the eye of the hook. [Read More…]

We’ve often talked about certain aspects of disappearing here at ITS, such as an untraceable cell phone and how to escape and evade in an urban environment, but never putting it all together and outright vanishing.
One of our readers clued us in to a fantastic article on Wired Magazine’s Web site titled “Writer Evan Ratliff Tried to Vanish: Here’s What Happened.”
Ratliff, a contributing editor for Wired, had previously written an article about people who fake death back in August, and started asking himself questions about whether someone can really vanish in the digital age. [Read More…]

Like many of you, we’re all card carrying members of the TAD Gear fan club, and to hear their database was illegally accessed was shocking to say the least.
We wanted to post this important information here to alert those who potentially had their personal information compromised. [Read More…]

Something that caught our eye in the new NRA magazine, “American Rifleman,” was a short article on the Browning Tactical Safe.
It’s the first we’d heard of the safe, but it looks very promising.
Perusing Browning’s Web site gave us a better understanding of the features of the safe, and what their proprietary nomenclature meant.
Made from an 11-gauge steel body, the BTS has some prominent external features we’ve yet to see on a gun safe. There’s a storage basket on the top and large side rails from which an included accessory rack can be hung to manage gear. [Read More…]
