In our How To Escape and Evade in an Urban Environment article (http://www.itstactical.com/2009/09/22/escape-and-evade-in-an-urban-environment/), we briefly discussed escaping from zip ties.
There are quite a few hasty methods of illegal restraint, and zip ties are a method that’s available to any would-be kidnapper.
A few of the other methods seen are duct tape, rope and phone cord, but with a little education you’ll see that all of these methods can easily be defeated.
There are two things you’ll need in any escape situation, and without these two things, nothing we’ll show you will work.
Those two things are time and opportunity. You’ll have to first have the time to be able to put one of these escape methods into action and the opportunity to do so.
Your captors are most likely not going to have the resources or the patience to keep eyes on you constantly, and when they don’t, it’s time to make your move.

I have tried the methods of breaking the heavy duty zip ties. They work but hard on the skin. Best to practice with some sort of skin protection.

They say practice with duct tape on your wrists. I can see why. Like trying to punch a hole in tempered glass, if you don't do it right you will break your hand.
