31 - Booby Traps and Breaching Sep 04, 2017

Show notes

Emergencies may require you to make entry or leave an area quickly. During these times, it's helpful to have gear that can open locks quickly or make you aware of someone following. This week on Gear Tasting Radio, we discuss tools for breaching and booby trapping.

Booby traps in Hollywood may be dazzling and exciting, but our conversation deals more with equipment designed to alert you to an intruder so you can be ready. To make entry or escape, we always prefer gear like lock picks, however during an emergency you may not have time for these methods. In these times, having some breaching gear can save you time and maybe more.
