Guest Post: Mr. White – More on Gear

In response to my recent post on GEAR, which in itself was in reponse to my other post on BODY ARMOR/PLATE CARRIERS, I had an excellent email come in from Mr. White. He blogs HERE. With hs permission, I have reproduced his email below, along with the attached document he sent me with a great […]

Body Armor / Plate Carriers

I was asked a question about body armor, what type to get. It seemed like a good topic for a post:I am a fan of body armor. In any kind of ‘kinetic’ situation when receiving incoming small arms fire, it will significantly reduce the chances of sustaining a penetrating wound to the torso. Such wounds […]

Coming in January: Patriot Dawn: The Resistance Rises

I am currently writing my fiction book, ‘Patriot Dawn: The Resistance Rises’. It’s a development of the idea of tactical fiction, written as a full novel based around a collapse/civil war scenario. Not too dissimilar to what we may be currently facing, oddly enough. As part of the storyline, it will include techniques and fictional […]

Looks like a useful book

LINK HERE I am linking to an article over at SHTFplan.com about a book: ‘Beyond Collapse: Surviving and Rebuilding Civilization From Scratch’ I have not yet read this book, but I just purchased it. I am interested in the premise, which is the need to survive a long term collapse after the ‘preps’/stored food have […]

Post Light

There has been a gap in posts lately. I will get back on it shortly. I have been concentrating on writing my book and also contributing to an article for APN. I’ll post that article when it comes out next week – it was regarding strategies for those having to travel on business and what […]

Got Ammo? Got Sandbags?

I’m having a nostalgia day. Please bear with me, it will be over soon. I pulled some video off the interweb. These videos are not related to me, just examples that I found, but I was out there at the time and saw all this type stuff, hence the nostalgia! For all those with a […]

3 PARA (16 air assault brigade) training

An interesting training/recruiting video. Note the assault on the isolated farm. Note that he quotes ‘terrorists’. Yes, the training is happening in the UK and would have been applied in Iraq or Afghanistan. What if you had stocked more than 7 days food and ammuniton in weatherproof containers, and you were now classified as a […]

Got PT?

I was feeling nostalgic. Here is a video of some of ‘P Company’ Pegasus Company, otherwise known as Pre-Parachute Selection, is the threshold to UK Airborne Forces. There are actually three courses that allow you to progress to Airborne School in the UK: Pegasus (‘P’) Company (Parachute Regiment/16 Air Assault Brigade)Commando Course (Royal Marines/Commando Brigade)UKSF Pre-Parachute selection […]

‘The 590 Rule’: Field Firing Range Safety

The way I was brought up in the British Army, and a method of training that I took with me to my time in Iraq and Afghanistan, is that field firing exercises are not run as set-piece exercises with dry and blank run-throughs, but rather as ‘sight unseen’ tactical live firing exercises. I came across […]

Low Profile Evasive Driving Training Video: Iraq 2004-2005

I’m just moving this up into its own post, from a comment by ‘Assemble on Us’ on: the October 25th Post: ‘Video: Rally Point LLC Tactical Firearms Training’ Charlie says: I wanted to showcase some of the evasive driving techniques and tactics that you can learn when you train with Max Velocity Tactical and Rally […]
