Due to the overwhelming amount of questions that have been pouring in about the photo we used in our article PSD Concepts: How to Detect Surveillance and Counter, we’ve decided to come up with a contest.
In this contest we want you to name each item in the photo as well as what kind of vehicle (make & model) is shown in the photo.
This isn’t going to be our typical reader appreciation contest, so keep reading to find out all the requirements and details.
Contest
First off, let’s get into what we need in your entry:
- Visit and Join our Flickr ITS Reader Photos Group! Feel free to share a photo while you’re there too.
- Look and Observe in the Group, where you’ll find a hi-res image from our article you can use. There’s also an important hint in the photo description!
- Post your Entry either back here in the comments, or in the photo comments on Flickr. List all the items in the photo (see the hint)
- Win Big with the first correct answer naming all the items!
Prizes
The first correct answer stating all of the items wins a free ITS Tactical Challenge Coin, ITS Tactical Patch (your choice of color) and ITS Tactical Sticker. We’re going to let this contest go until someone wins!
Winner must be a member of the Flickr ITS Reader Photos Group to be eligible to win.
Thanks for your participation and supporting ITS Tactical! Good Luck!

Oh Well I gave it a pretty good shot.
I totally missed the multitool…
You forgot the piss bottle!
Nah I didn’t
1.) Bedside Urinal
I need to eat more carrots… good obs on your part.
1. Large reflective sunshade for car window
2. Black capped pen, appears to be a generic design, either a ballpoint or a roller. Looks rather like a pilot fineliner.
3. Yellow lined Notepad to take notes about activities of subject etc. Some items appear to repeat a bit, hard to see.
4. Nikon Action 10×50 6.5° binoculars
5. 9MM Glock 26 + night sights, with 12 a round magazine
6. Something like “Cheez-It Baked Snack Assortment Party Mix” in a Ziploc bag
7. Google maps split-pane view, Street view and map. Sat map printout showing a subject route, + spots where subject frequents (chokepoints). Picture with bridge in it a possible chokepoint, or where the subject lives. Lines on paper, looks like the printer had problems or that the ink is running out… possibly a laser printer

9. Leatherman multitool (or other, but I think it’s an old leatherman)
10. Silver 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser , does not appear to have the upgrade package

Just joined the flickr group as ‘SverthSolaris’.
Addition for number 13:
20 FL Oz (591ML) ‘Honor the Code’ Diet Mountain Dew, from the Halo: Reach promotion.
LOL, should have went through my list to finish writing before I posted it, sigh:
12. Photo of subject to be watched or followed. Brent M. Piatti of OpOutpost… come to think of it, I don’t think I found a single photo of Eric S. with long facial hair, so there.
Eric S. Was the one that took the photo I think, so that was my best guess. I honestly couldn’t find photos of anyone, not Bryan Black, Brent, or anyone…
Same here, I looked through every single photo I could find by Eric (photobucket, flickr, its tactical, mil photos, and so on) without finding anyone who looked like the guy in the photo. His facial structure looks wider than Eric’s, could just be the washed out photo tho.
Maybe it’s an ITS photo, not one by Eric… But it’s his car, so I don’t know. Either way, good exercise.

You guys are doing great but the picture of the dude is still throwing everyone off.
Heres a hint: I got the idea while watching Bryan in the ITS videos.
Happy hunting and while you’re on Youtube go ahead and subscribe to ITS Tactical!!
To add to Eric’s hint, I just threw one of my own up on the Flickr Photo. Go check it out!
Good Luck!
When I thought it was narrowed down, I was wrong… I think I’ve watched 2 hours of ITS Tactical youtube videos… haha
Is it Alan Winters?
Correction, sorry… the person I’m thinking of played the part as Alan Winters of Slash Skateboarding in the movie “The Search for Animal Chin.” But I don’t know his real name.
Patrick, you’re getting warmer… Just think of everyone involved in that movie…

Is that Stacy Peralta?

16.9×12 inch brown clipboard, metal clamp.
If that’s mike vallely I’m going to be so mad… I looked all over to find a pic of mike vallely with his hair like that and couldn’t find one for the life of me… haha
This is about as close as I found, scroll down to see the pic:
http://www.juicemagazine.com/ANIMALCHINDVDPREMIER.html
I was looking at face shapes, and the guy in the pic in the car ‘looks’ like he has a roundish or heart-shaped face, which matches Mike well enough.
I sunk way to much time into this, I have finals in about four days lol
Well, now that I look at it again I STILL don’t think it’s him. In the photo from the car the eyes seem to wide to be Mike Vallely. Plus his hair seems to be too fine to flip like that since all the photos of him with long hair has his hair straight with no curls.
