Make A List

In a world where common sense is quickly becoming not so common, this is Sound advice.

Plan your attack and work the plan, don’t let anything work you.

Stay Alert, Armed and Dangerous!

Woke up this morning at 0430 hrs and the house felt cold, so I dragged my butt out of bed and armed with a flashlight walked into the great room to check the temperature. 24 more words

Preppers Having Their ‘Moment’?

Another good read from NC Scout.

If there is one thing the martial civilian should take away from this goat rodeo, it is this:

“But for me at least, prepping was never about having stuff, but rather having skills to back up the right items. Its about a mindset. The things people are snapping up now are unheard of items in much of the rest of the world, and while we could sit and point to other factors they deal with on an everyday basis, they also live fairly simple lives. Other corners of the world, for their lack of modernity, also do not fear the loss of such. Why is that? Because they have the underlying skills to survive. “

It reminds me of a couple of similar sayings:

“Amateurs talk Hardware. Professionals talk Software.” -Anonymous

“Amateurs talk Strategy. Professionals talk Logistics.” -General Omar Bradley

Speaking for myself and my clan, going forward from here we going to concentrate more sincerely on taking more of a minimalist approach to life in terms of “stuff” and focus more on learning and honing SKILLS.

 

So, preppers, are we having our ‘moment’? It would certainly seem as though a lot of folks are preppers now. Judging by the level of panic buying it seems like hindsight is 2020 for a great deal of people. 18 more words

From a Student: Paradigm Shift

Good Stuff from my friend NC Scout.

Keep Your training Practical and Relevant to your Mission.

Don’t get caught up in the ‘Tacti-Cool” BS, it’s a waste of your time and money and will ultimately get you killed.

 

Its always very rewarding hearing from students about what they learned in class- especially when it changes their thought process or point of view. I got this from a very capable student in the last Scout course: Then a note; the last Scout course catalyzed a revision in outlook and training – I train all […]
