Used to work a job where I traveled.....A LOT . All luggage brands , colors , and styles look alike at busy airports . I designed a personal glyph , and painted it about 8-10 inches tall , on the front , back , and bottom with gold paint , on a navy suitcase . I did zip tie the zippers as well . Yeah , it looked cheesy , but it allways stood out , and nobody ever walked off with it , by mistake .

The concern to me is not having my suitcase taken, its having it broken into. That has happened to me before and there is nothing you or anyone can do about it. I worked for a major airline years ago. I knew of a few guys who would go into someones suitcase and take a pair of women's panties out and then put them in the ball pocket of a golf bag. They thought it was funny. I wonder how many marriages were destroyed because of that. Knowing I worked were people like that were not punished or fired made me sick to go to work. I transferred out of fleet service only to find the unions didn't like that I was against them and gave me grief though out my whole time I worked for that airline. Because of the unions and then 9/11 I refuse to fly on ANY airline. But If I ever travel by train I will use these ideas for securing my suitcase then.

[@tolik5929]

@@robertedwards7749 Because of restrictions , I had to check it , and not carry it on . I was also packing things for a job that was going to last several months . If its legit , then a zip tie will work well enough . A small lock works well . I have done both . If it is legit , they always leave a card inside , telling you it has been searched . Not much you can do about a scumbag theif . The Saudi's have it right , in that respect .....they cut off the guys hand . Anything of real value I carried with me , on my person . Other things , I simply put in one of the crates , on the truck being shipped to the job site . In that respect , if they want my used underwear , or flask of booze , go ahead .

[@Eric-gi9kg]

​@robertedwards7749 That's Why I never check baggage. From the time I was in the military to present.. all my gear is in a duffle and can easily be stuffed in the overhead or 'checked' as I am boarding (Horizon Air)... then immediately picked up immediately after de-boarding.

[@Metalheaddoc]

If you want to zip tie your zippers closed, go down the the next hole right by the zippers. If you zip tie at the outer ring, you can wiggle the zippers apart a little. I have heard a trick they do in South America is unscrupulous Customs guys wiggle open the zippers and drop a round of ammo in there (illegal) and “catch” you when they X-ray the bag then search it. Better have some bribe money ready.

[@jaybakata5566]

I love all Ranger Survival and Field Craft videos! Where does all this info come from? Is it just passed on/down from people that know? Is it from being in the military? So much info to learn. So little time. Andrew, do you have a list of 10 (or whatever number it takes) of skills/knowledge info to know? My problem is so much info. I want to learn the ones I absolutely need to know to survive before I learn all the other things. Basically, where do I start? I want to have a good foundation of learning/understanding/knowledge that I can then build on top of to continue building my knowledge base? Is there a "Start here" knowledge base for beginners? After reading comments I noticed someone called you, "a real life MacGyver." That is where I want to get to. How do I do it? Thanks for your service, and thank you for creating videos sharing your knowledge and information!

[@tenchraven]

-With the dressing cache, apply the food coloring to the pad of the bandaid and let it seep through. It will look even more realistic. And if you don't have food color, got a red ballpoint? Clip off the ends and the juice will flow. And that empty pen body just looks like a pen, even if you hand a cuff key, a ferro rod, compass magnets and six inches of kevlar in it. --The mag bar you can water proof a bit more reliably just with some nailpolish or clear coat, you have to scrape it off but doesn't create as weird a shape with hot spots or leak like tape will- and if you put a little dab of clear coat on then stuff it up into the top of the tongue of a hiking boot or sneaker and let it dry, it will stay there but not be as hard to recover as it would with super glue. Or use rubber cement. And then get a gel insole and put a bit of hacksaw blade who's broken ends you rounded off under it. Tada, hotfoot boot. Boots are too useful for concealment. Which is why SOP should be take their boots. Even if they have sandals, leave them barefoot.

[@jasongarling20]

Absolutely great video! Thank you for covering these... I personally would love to see more of this type of videos!

[@Chaos_]

Thanks! I really like the band-aid concealment.

[@maxpinson5002]

Pretty smart idea. JMHO- I'd use a toothpick or stick or something to drip the color onto the bandage. All the adhesive bandages I've used on me have round red circles of blood oozing through

[@jonathanm8197]

Thanks for your nice videos. Be aware that putting a cellphone inside a Faraday cage (like aluminum foil, a metal can with a metal lid, or a microwave oven), though it does stop signals from reaching the phone, makes the phone try to ping the cell tower over and over looking for a signal, which runs the battery down faster. So, it's not good to do all the time.

[@paulamcclure3402]

How about setting the cellphone on Airplane Mode (or shutting it off) prior to placement in the Faraday bag?

[@jonathanm8197]

@paulamcclure3402 Yes, that should help with battery life. I did once read about the government requiring every phone manufacturer to install a tracking chip/transmitter in every phone that can't be turned off, but I don't know how true that is. How such a chip might get enough power to transmit is also debatable, and might not involve the main battery. Either a Faraday cage, leaving the phone in one location while you go elsewhere (thankfully, phones aren't wired into our bodies quite yet), or destroying the phone might be the only ways to defend against that.

[@paulamcclure3402]

@jonathanm8197 Thanks for your reply... with interesting points to consider. Best regards. 🇺🇸 🏕 🌲

[@garypointing5825]

The newspaper doesn't actually need a rock. Roll a newspaper, you may have to discard some pages, fold it. You have what is know in the UK as a millwall brick from the soccer hooligans who first used it. I've seen a dreadful injury as the result of someone being hit with one.

[@robertwillis4061]

Try adding a 13mm - 1/2 inch thick branch inside the newspaper.

[@TheSpitfiregoggles]

Good old Millwall...Nobody likes us, we don't care!

[@pepelemoko01]

I always pick up a cheap utility knife in a local or supermarket when I go overseas,and ditch it when I leave, anybody got any ideas for an improvised sheath to use with it,. A present I just throw it in my pocket.

[@maxpinson5002]

C-RATs were in a durable cardboard box, but those are history. Cereal box cardboard, noodle boxes, snack cake boxes, etc. have decent coated cardboard that you can cut and fold/roll up and duct tape together and make an expendable knife sheath for an expendable knife. The cheap steak knives are useable for "steaks" and you can get 3-4 of those plastic knives at the fast food place and scotch tape em tightly together and raise a good point on a curb in a couple of minutes. Lots of ways to get home safely. Key word expendable Good Luck

[@UniversalSovereignCitizen]

PVC Pipe. The size big enough to slip yr pkt knife into or just a bit too small. Cut about 3/4 the way through and then down from the end to leave a piece of the PVC pipe that you heat and bend down into a belt clip. The other end of the pvc pipe you can squeeze closed and wrap the knife in cereal box cardboard and push it into the heated plyable PVC pipe. Keeping it all in place you can cool it quickly by placing in water. File and/or sand it if needed. Without the cardboard it can be too tight. You can cut two slots in the tongue if you only cut 2/3rds through the pipe allowing enough width to thread yr belt. For fixed blades you flatten between two books, again, wrap in cardboard. Good for a s.steel fishing knife and cheeper/easier than kydex. My first few were abominations but now, a work of art... maybe. Hope this helps, especially if world goes bung and resources few. A simpler option, black poly retic pipe. Two holes, paracord loop and melt/seal the bottom. Universal Sovereign Citizen

[@pepelemoko01]

The Best utility I've found is Ed Calderon's suggestion, the Victorinox fruit carving knife, with the curved blade. Small enough and flat enough to be held against a cell phone .

[@maxpinson5002]

@@pepelemoko01 My way of thinking is that I want something to use in a something-something situation, and would be able to toss the whole works in a millisecond and not look back or have the re-re's about ditching it, and can make another of whatever I need with very little or no expense. Not something you're buying online with a traceable credit card and having it in your luggage, but an improvised something that can be tossed if the circumstances dictate

[@bufordhighwater9872]

Yeah, don't walk around with an improvised club without checking your state's concealed/dangerous/deadly weapons laws. If someone swings at you and you hit him in the head with that club, you've just increased your chances of catching a manslaughter charge exponentially.

Improvised concealed carry holster, with a Cloth hanger. Avoid it. After drawing the firearm, the wire loop is pressed against the body, depending on the placement, can be on the uncomfortable side, aka family jewels.

If you can, put 2-3 hooks under the patch. It is too easy to lose a hook and if that happens and you only had the one....no more fishing.
