Review: HEAT 1 Combat Tactics April/May: Natalie

Max adds: This review was sent in by the daughter of a mother / daughter group who attended the HEAT 1 Combat Tactics Class.

Tactical Use of Terrain: To Survive and Win!

A discussion on terrain analysis. This is a somewhat large topic.

I am a horseback rider and compete at Cowboy Mounted Shooting as well as reenact as Civil War Cavalry, mainly as a Confederate but I’ll go Union if the numbers […]

Update on Max: Brain Surgery + Therapeutic Carnivore Diet

I posted on August 13th the original story of my brain tumor, with two surgeries (2020, 2023) and my story so far. It’s time for an update. The original post is here: ‘Max: Health and Brain Surgery.‘ I think it is wise to post that there were no ill-effects of this surgery, just because you […]
