Getting out of zip ties

[MacGyver]

Note, that this trick is more difficult with bigger ties, but I felt compelled to share this with you on a Monday morning:

Yep, I learned how pretty much the same way in the Army.

So what happens is the person securing you doesn't put the lock between your wrist? And btw, these are what we always carried in the USMC, and they will not bust that way easily, been there, tried that. Not to mention, who puts you in cuffs in front of the body? OTher than those complaints, neat party trick lol.

Us too. And you secure the arms to the rear so you can control them better.

they are easy to get out of, and I would not leave someone unattended with nothing but zips for restraint. If nothing else, the plastic in the commercial ones fatigues fast and will tear after that, just takes time and effort and no one looking.

Well the zipties aren't really designed as a permanent restraint so... Those are also like the ones I sell, Spots.

Hook um up the way the KGB does, you aint getting out of them.
What is The way the KGB does it,
One arm over your sholder, the other up your back from the hip.
Hands meet inbetween you sholder blades, YOU WONT GET OUT.
