An important concept is to stop, look, listen, smell, and plan (SLLSP). When moving across long distances, the environment can cause you fatigue, taking away your stealthies. Conduct an SLLSP. Stop all movement. Look around the area. Listen to your surroundings. Smell the environment. Plan your route. The focus of SLLSP is to keep you in tune with your surroundings and to get your bearings while moving with camouflage. You must be slow and deliberate.

Simo Hayha is proof that cultivating the mantra “Every Man a Rifleman” Works!
History has proven time and time again, that to produce deadly snipers and soldiers, nothing can replace the self-sufficient and practical hunting/gun culture in which they were raised.
Their prowess with a rifle was directly related to their upbringing and the traditions handed down from their fathers.
