Building & Advocating with Field-Ready DIY Detective Kits
Hands-On Kit Assembly, Hand-Drawn Documentation Systems, and Professional Equipment Advocacy for Assassination Investigations
Extending from creative multimedia advocacy into tactical field preparation, Module 9 trains DIY Detective™ participants to assemble, customize, and professionally deploy field-ready investigation kits for assassination and attempted-assassination cases—in environments where institutional obstruction, political sensitivity, or simple abandonment means civilians cannot rely on official resources, official documentation systems, or official protection.
This module is built on the academy’s non-negotiable doctrine: analog-first visual intelligence and tactile intelligence. You will design investigative equipment packages by first hand-drawing kit layouts, equipment selection diagrams, and deployment planning sketches using pencil, paper, markers, and paint before any purchasing or assembly begins. That analog-first design discipline forces clarity about what tools serve investigative outcomes versus what merely looks professional, and it creates a traceable decision record showing why each component exists, how it will be used, and what field protocol governs it.
Most civilian investigators approach equipment haphazardly—buying tools based on online lists, carrying excessive gear that destroys mobility, or missing critical items because they never systematically planned for real investigation scenarios. Assassination and attempted-assassination cases demand a higher standard. You may be working in hostile environments, dealing with witnesses under intimidation pressure, or documenting details that institutions claim do not exist. Field readiness is not a hobby. It is credibility, safety, and operational capability. When you physically assemble your kit while simultaneously hand-drawing assembly diagrams, interaction maps, and deployment checklists, you build embodied competence—muscle memory, access speed, and spatial reasoning—that “equipment awareness” training cannot produce.
The breakthrough methodology here is simple and aggressive: you hand-draw the kit before you spend money, then you build it, then you test it. You sketch modular layouts showing quick-access compartments for time-sensitive tools, map weight distribution for extended field work, create hand-sketched decision trees for equipment deployment, and document customization choices that transform generic items into a coherent investigative system. You are not decorating gear. You are creating visual intelligence about field craft that makes your kit defensible, repeatable, teachable, and professional—especially when your findings will later be scrutinized by attorneys, journalists, or resistant authorities looking for reasons to dismiss civilian work.

This is not theoretical training. You are learning real investigative methodology while contributing to ongoing assassination and attempted-assassination cases, including those involving institutional resistance, political sensitivity, or cross-border complexity.
What You’ll Learn
This module equips you with professional field-investigation equipment skills grounded in civilian detective training and investigative methodology, emphasizing hands-on kit assembly, hand-drawn documentation systems, and tactile field craft as the foundation for serious assassination investigation work—not equipment shopping, not passive “awareness,” and not a generic “detective starter pack.”
Core Skills You’ll Master
✓ Hand-drawn kit design and equipment planning — Sketch complete investigative kit layouts before purchases, mapping modular compartment systems, quick-access placement for time-sensitive tools, weight distribution for extended field work, and scenario-specific deployment protocols so every component has a tested investigative purpose rather than an aesthetic one.
✓ Hands-on assembly of documentation systems — Physically build field documentation workbooks and pack-out systems: acid-free notebooks, evidence-safe sleeves, weatherproof writing instruments, fine-tip markers for detail sketches, pencils for erasable planning, and structured hand-drawn templates that produce legible, defensible field notes.
✓ Manual customization of protective equipment — Configure and test civilian-legal protective and safety components—first-aid modules, emergency signaling, and rapid-access safety items—so you build muscle memory for deployment and avoid the false confidence of untested gear.
✓ Tactical assembly of navigation and communication tools — Organize navigation and communication components into quick-access configurations and redundancy layers, determining what belongs on-body, in-pack, or in protected reserve.
✓ Hand-drawn equipment interaction mapping — Sketch diagrams showing how components work together during investigations: access dependencies, backup activation, and documentation integration.
✓ Physical testing and field-readiness verification — Run deployment drills to test access speed, functionality under stress, fatigue impact, and protocol timing.
✓ Hand-drawn field deployment protocols — Create visual checklists and decision trees showing when to use tools, how to document findings, and how to maintain demonstrated discipline under pressure.
✓ Lightweight modular packing optimization — Experiment with modular systems through physical assembly and testing to learn what improves access and mobility versus what merely looks organized.
✓ Kit advocacy and professional presentation — Photograph assembled kits alongside hand-drawn documentation that shows design reasoning, testing results, and deployment protocols—creating a credibility portfolio for attorneys, journalists, and advocacy organizations.
No prior equipment assembly, tactical training, or field-investigation experience required.
Real Case Application
You will apply these techniques directly to assassination investigation scenarios like those in Larry Margulies’s partially solved assassination attempts, where institutional abandonment meant no official field resources were available, personal security required civilian-designed readiness, and documentation quality determined whether findings would be treated as credible or dismissed as amateur material.
This is real work—not hypothetical exercises. Your hand-drawn kit designs and physically assembled equipment may contribute to:
• Field investigation capability — Reliable documentation, navigation, protection, and pack-out logic
• Safety and operational discipline — Tested access protocols and redundancy planning
• Court-admissible documentation quality — Structured notes and consistent field templates
• Credibility establishment — Visible proof of methodical planning and field testing
