Given the obvious shortage and expense of 5.56 rifle ammo as well as the other battle rifle calibers, I am more than willing to accommodate suggestions for training for those of you that can’t / don’t want to expend even 300 rounds over a weekend. All the courses that I run do of course benefit […]

The purpose of this post is to give you some basics for surviving a terrorist attack, primarily a bombing, as recently seen in the Boston attack. The first thing to mention is AVOIDANCE. This is the best form of threat mitigation. If you can avoid large public events then you are going a long way […]

I’ve been off grid this week. I’m not yet back online fully – just popping up to get this shot off then ducking back into cover. I will be online next week. I have a couple of posts that I am planning. I noticed a comment on my previous post that mentioned a lot of back and forth about rucksacks. I missed this. Please […]

In the meantime, I read this blog post by mountainguerilla and loved it! Please read it. It unlocked a cascade of […]

The specific training schedule will be worked […]

I have had a lot of questions come in about the concept of the ‘Thermal Poncho’. I’m going to post about it here and I have also moved up my post on ‘Countering Aerial Thermal Surveillance’ from when it was originally posted back in October. That POST contains a lot of the detail on FLIR/ Thermal Imaging capabilities, along with a video of an Apache engagement. I recommend that […]

I have moved this post up from its October 2012 date due to the number of questions I have received about the ‘Thermal Ponchos’ that feature in ‘Patriot Dawn’ and Contact!’ I will be putting up a post about the ponchos themselves shortly.Following on from my comment in the previous post about having to hide from Drones, I thought it would be […]
