![]() ![]() Its cool to take a look at, for the ridiculous and whacky shit (with illustrations) that qualify as 'skills', such as: Somewhere, there’s a guy laughing all the way to the bank to cash his royalty check, amused at the fact that a bunch of desk-jockey civilian wannabe-ninjas would actually shell out $10 for this and take any of it seriously. ![]() If you read this and think it’s all completely serious, you’re a sucker. ![]() Just remember, after you insert said tube containing the nail into your rectum and are going through an MRI, there’s a reason the doctors are always extra careful to make sure you remove anything metallic: you’re about to climb into a giant magnet with a metal nail secreted away in your colon. If you want to pay $10 for a laugh, or you enjoy illustrations of how to insert a plastic tube containing a nail into your rectum so you can sneak something past an MRI, then go ahead and click “Buy”. Conveniently, the author’s company, Escape The Wolf, makes these bags and would be happy to sell you one for $200. Third, be sure to carry a Zero Trace brand RFID-blocking messenger bag. We must be wasting money on these high-end titanium things when a water bottle and Brillo pad would be so much more effective. Maybe the author’s water bottle suppressor is somehow more effective than an actual suppressor manufactured by a company that specializes in the craft, in which case I expect to start seeing the military issue water bottle silencers to our Spec Ops forces instead. For comparison, that’s about the same noise level as a loud rock concert. 22 with a nice suppressor (the non-water bottle kind) still puts out around 115db. 45s and even with pretty nice, $1,000 suppressors it’s far from that quiet. Second, when you make a silencer out of a water bottle, it’ll be so quiet that the only noise you’ll here is the firing pin contacting the round's primer. Hell, Panerai makes watches that cost more than some houses. Besides, nothing says “blend into the environment” like wearing luxury watches that cost more than some cars. I don’t know what kind of watches the government issues, but if they are in fact handing out $10k watches to covert operatives then I suppose that explains some of our budgetary issues. That’s right: when you want to blend in and still have the right tools at your disposal, be sure to wear a $10,000 watch. Instead, the advice ranges from useless (how to jump out of an airplane in a wingsuit to covertly infiltrate a foreign country) to the absurd (wear a $10k luxury watch to blend in with the populace).įirst, if you want to be the “Violent Nomad” and go incognito, be sure to include a Panerai watch in your EDC kit. I wasn’t under any delusion that real SEAL and covert trade secrets were going to be revealed in a mass-market paperback, but I figured there might be an interesting tip or two to pick up on. I guess this counts me with the gullible since I purchased it. The information in this book, however, smells like someone cashing in on a gullible public. I have the utmost respect for the Navy SEALs, God bless them, and I’m all for anyone using their past experiences to start a business, sell a book, and make a buck. ![]() I don’t write a lot of reviews, especially negative ones, but this book is just too much.
