MVT Training Review – September 14/15 2013 I completed my second training course with Max on the weekend of September 14/15.  I attended my first training course in July and knew then I’d be back for more.  After initially reading Max’s Contact book earlier this year, his training seemed like the logical next step, so I signed up for the […]

On my CRCD class, I don’t have time to do a full class on TC3 (Tactical Combat Casualty Care). However, what I do is give a few pointers as to how causalities will fit into the game in a real SHTF contact situation. I’m going to try and replicate some of those pointers here: (For […]

I attended the September 14/15 session of Max’s CRCD course. Of the 12 participants, almost all were career civilians like myself with a few military veterans.  It was a good group that was motivated to learn. We all had a similar focus – to prepare ourselves to protect our families from danger. I came in with a […]

In the meantime, a heads up: In summary: The PATROL classes are open to alumni from the CRCD (open enrollment Combat Rifle / Contact Drills classes). These will be three day classes at a […]

I posted yesterday about the ‘interruption in service’ due to my ongoing house move. I simply haven’t had time for the usual blog posts this week. I usually post in response to a question, a thought, and reflection or similar that gives me an idea that I expand into a blog post. My mind has […]

I’m currently in the middle of moving house, so blog service is a little interrupted.  The training weekend is going ahead on the 14th as planned. We have made the decision to move out of our HOA townhouse, operated by the Stasi collective, to a lease on a rather more run down place with a […]

There was a recent article published on WRSA (HERE), a guest article from the Mountain Guerrilla blog. Reading it along with the original article that explains the concept of Leaderless Resistance (LR) (HERE), I am moved to comment. It is not that the linked article is wrong; it is more a question of relevance and […]
