What's up guys black Scout survival ante we're going to be going over how to dead drop or dead letterbox commonly referred to as dead drop though and it is a form of communication between two people without being ever having to meet and it's a part of espionage tradecraft it was used a lot in the Cold War but like I said it's a.

Way for two people to communicate or pass information or items to each other without ever having to meet and my favorite one our method is the dead drop spike and this was used a lot during the Cold War and bassist a waterproof spike so you can add you know cash coded messages maps and stuff like that and just stick it in the ground now how you.

Do a dead drop is like this basically you'll mark an area like tie a piece of high-vis tape around a street sign and that way the other person can see the see it tied around there they don't have to get out their vehicle or anything I think Drive I'll walk by not really pay much attention but see us there and see that the other party like myself has.

Left a message for them and I'll put this spike in another location I'll stick it in the ground in a hidden location and so they'll go to that other location retrieve the items messages whatever I've left them or they can respond back and put something else back in there and put it back in the ground and then go mark something like on a.

Wall or something like with a magic marker or a piece of chalk now how can you use this you know if you're not a spy well you can look at Kyle like as a micro cache so you can place goods you know items in there like you know large ones you can place weapons or miny maps to show how to get to a place so let's just say.

Always already have and if they use my you know paste planning to know that this means for me to go to a certain location so this was the indicator left instead of tying the mark around the tape around the flag I mean around the street sign this is my marker so I know that they left something for me so I go to that location pick up you know.

Whatever items that I may need and maps to get to the next location wherever they're at so you can look at it like a micro cache you know and in a good way to communicate once there's no cell service or anything like that it will help you in urban survival but I got this dead drop from spot coins comm and I will put a discount code in the box.
