Photos of the Reconnaissance class.

This class just happened this past weekend. The primary instructor on this class is Scott, based on his extensive LRS experience.

New Trench Strongpoint + Site Improvements

This past weekend was the Recon Class and I took the opportunity to rent a 11,000lb excavator and did 16 hours of work on the Thursday / Friday to put in the trench system concept and also improve the site and roads. It was well worth the expenditure on the rental excavator. I have talked […]

Review: HEAT 1 Combat Tactics May 2024 – Carter

With the world in the state that its in, I realized the need to learn the skills necessary to protect my family and my community from bad actors. But as a young father of two with zero military experience to build on, I was limited on both the amount of time and money I could […]

Long Term Security and Defense of your Retreat Location

In this article I will discuss long term security and defense of your retreat location. We cannot predict now exactly what conditions will look like after a collapse and as such I urge you not to make too many assumptions based on your particular idea of what such a post-SHTF situation will look like. The […]
