Unless you’re the kind of person who heads to the swamps of Nigeria for a little R&R, it’s unlikely you’ve given much thought to the threat of kidnapping when planning your trips. But kidnapping has boomed over the past decade, thanks to the growing socioeconomic divide around the globe and the spread of radical groups. While kidnappers used to target rich locals, and the abductions were largely confined to a handful of countries, these days foreign business executives and tourists are now just as likely to be the victims, and the abductions can happen virtually anywhere.
Have you thought about how you would escape from illegal restraint? For some this can be a very important consideration. As with every survival skill you must practice your techniques to perfect them. However, in order to practice a skill you must first learn it.
I found an interesting video on YouTube that demonstrates skills for escaping from restraints:

5:17 - Best Case Scenario Zip Tie Hand Placement
8:51 - Shimming Zip Ties
11:50 - Breaking Out of Single Zip Tie

22:41 - Breaking Out of Duct Tape
25:24 - Escaping from Handcuffs
34:51 - Cutting through Rope
37:55 - Wrap Up
I also found a DVD for sale on Amazon.Com that demonstrates similar skills:
