Day 56: How to Escape Zip Ties

Skill: Break Free Before It’s Too Late

If you ever find yourself restrained with zip ties — don’t panic. With the right technique, you can get out fast, even with your hands tied.

What It Does

  • Gets you out of unlawful restraints

  • Gives you a fighting chance to escape

  • Works even when you’re bound tightly

How to Do It

1. Tighten the Zip Tie First
It sounds wrong, but pulling your wrists tighter gives the tie less room to stretch — which makes it easier to break.

2. Raise Your Arms Above Your Head
Bend your elbows like you're about to throw down hard.

3. Slam Down Hard to Your Stomach
Use a fast, forceful motion. You’re not pulling apart — you’re snapping the plastic with sudden shock force.

4. Use Shoelaces or Cord (Optional Method)
Thread a shoelace through the tie, tie the ends to your shoes, and “bicycle” your legs — the friction will cut through.

Tips

  • Practice with dummy zip ties beforehand (safely).

  • Keep your arms close — leverage is key.

  • Don’t wait for a perfect moment. Break free fast and act.

Bottom Line

Zip ties are scary — but not unbreakable.
Master this one skill, and you’ll never feel helpless again.
