How to Escape from Wrist-Binding Zip Ties
As you can see in the video above, all it really takes is a forceful smack in the butt (from your bound fists) fueled by momentum, pushing outward as you complete the range of motion. That is, if your hands are tied behind your back. If they’re in front of you, just pull in towards your stomach instead. You can find detailed instructions for all hand positions at the full post on ITS Tactical.

Update: Birds!
I took the pattern discussed HERE and made these fabulous Baseball bird ornaments in celebration of my St. Louis Cardinals winning the World Series this year. With help, I crafted over 50 of these birds. We used all of 1 1/2 yards of red baseball fabric and less than 1 yard of tan fabric for the bellies. On some, we sewed red ribbon to the back of the neck for hangers. On others, I used strong fishing line and poked it through the fabric – I liked this hanging process better than the ribbon. We debated about adding eyes or actual feathers, but decided less was more on these. I hope you like them – I know we do!
