stealthing with a fanny pack/bum bag

[kylieshotpants]

Hi

I think my normal stealthing tactics are getting found out, as I get searched more often and full pat down.

My main problem with extreme hiding (if you get the idea) is that you have to go to the toilet and unpack & set up

Can anyone give tips for using a fanny pack (us) /bum bag (uk) please - or any other stealth tips to get rolling quicker?

Some people don't like public discussions on this topic here because they think security reads this stuff (hence the Hoff). Personally I don't care, but I'll keep it basic out of respect to those people.

Put the gear in a place where they don't pat. Use your imagination on how to do that.

We will begin the stealth lesson, beginning at my cheesy man nipples.

I know it doesn't bother some people but there has been a shitload of "How do I a sneaky thing" questions around here lately and I don't like it at all.


Figure it out on your own. It's not that complicated.

Putting the details out there for everyone to see is counter intuitive to doing something clandestine in the first place....

I hate repeating myself.........here goes.

Don't send me a pm asking how i beat metal detection, before you ever tryed it once.

Find a mentor, someone you can travel to shows with and learn from. Pay for their tickets, or beer or food or gas.
You will learn more about how things are done, than you can reading all these pages. While there is a boatload of FREE
info on here by many experienced users, some things are best handed down like my grandmom's  paella recipe.

I feel this is on me. My appologies, Ed. I didn't have any intension to upset you. Btw, I have responded to your pm.

It's unfortunately not that easy. It's easier to find an elephant climbing a tree than serious tapers here in Sweden. We are only a few and most of us live very far from each other. I understand things are a bit different in the US where taping seems to be quite a popular hobby. I wish things were the same here but unfortunately it's not.

Most people at taperssection.com are really helpful and I somewhat think that the idea with this forum is to share our experience with fellow tapers. For me, living in the twilight zone, you guys here are more important than you think.

Anyway, this thread is not about me. Just felt the need to repond to your post. Thanks.

In your case your comments and interaction over time made it clear to    tapers you are for real.  That was the point being made.  The point is you did your homework first.

I wasn't talking about you, i DID answer your PM with a very honest and correct answer. I usually don't do that. Just get out there and try is all i am saying. Maybe in Sweden it will be hard
to find a proper mentor, i was thinking about the states here where tapers are easier to find.

Thank you, daspy!  Also thank you for your help.

That's great to hear, ed. I actually thought I did upset you. I'm happy that's not the case. Once again, thank you for your tips and tricks.

Glad to help.  As I said, it is all about credibility and how one asks for help.  The most extreme tactics are best communicated privately among only those who actually need to use such tactics.  This isn't a game anymore despite what some seem to think it is.

I dunno, I still think the attitude is a bit extreme. Who cares if somebody from security reads my tactics? Chances are if they really thought about it for about 90 seconds they could come up with all the things I've ever tried.

Within the last 6 months we've had a security person here, posing as a taper, asking for  advice.

If anyone wants advice from me, I'd be happy to answer via pm.

Things posted on the internet are forever.

Yeah, what are they gonna do, remove me from my wheelchair and tear it apart looking for microphones?
