Honestly, I would fall into this trap. The federal agent genuinely sounds like she is a person having car trouble, this trap would work on me because I guess I too am a fundamentally decent person.

Don't even need handcuffs, just need a thin tree or a pole.

Have them wrap one leg around the tree/pole and sit down on it, I remember reading that it would be nigh impossible for them to get up from that position without help

    I mean… you could pull yourself up with upper body strength surely

    I don't understand how this works. Like crosslegged and the tree is only between one of your legs, not the other? Like behind the knee?

    Edit: I've looked this up and found this weird video showing it

    I'm guessing you can just lift yourself if you have the upper body strength, but it's interesting and a bit counterintuitive
