2024/03/06

Emergency Management, as a phrase, usually triggers thoughts of Hurricane Katrina, flash flooding, and natural disasters. In general, it's still a relatively young discipline, with new ways of thinking and more importantly planning, being developed. To dig into this, I sit down with Chris Downs, owner of Gray Tusk Emergency Management, and jump down the rabbit hole into a number of different concerns and considerations that should be included when trying to prepare and plan for worst-case-scenario

Another month, and more to unpack in the March SITREP discussion. We're currently experiencing one of the most turbulent political times in recent memory, with both the pending election this year, as well as news of Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell announcing that he will be stepping down later this year. Unfortunately, since politics and politicians so heavily influence much of our daily lives and our lifestyle, this has the volatile potential to have a tremendous impact in more ways than we

Its 2024, and the primary election here in Michigan. It appears, that just as we were four short years ago, we're likely to be faced with a Trump v. Biden election. Looking back, 2020 was a year of outrageous violence and tremendous change in our country. Many of us were left to watch as cities burned and lives were shattered, clinging only to the fact that we weren't the ones whos lives were torn apart. In this discussion, Josh and I beg to question what we can do today, to further protect

2024/02/09

Many of us carry a firearm when we leave our homes every day. It's as much a part of our routine as is putting on shoes. While it's great to talk about training, and proficiency, performance, and culture, there's one very vital part of the discussion that seems to constantly take the back seat. The legal impact of employing that tool, and the profound life change you may experience the day you have to reach for it. For some of us, and I pray all of us, that day may never arrive. However, hope, isn't

When most of us think of comm's, we think of all those scenes from movies like Navy SEALs and The Rock with dudes magically having their radio's pre configured, running throat mic's and push-to-talk devices. Behind the scenes though, is a whole world of tech wizardly and understanding that has to be well understood to culminate in that level of effectiveness and capability.

You've more than likely been told, by more than one person who claims to be an expert, that as a civilian, you shouldn't be learning C.Q.B. It's not something that the average joe will find themselves needing, and therefor learning it is a fantasy. Until the day that comes to pass where it isn't, and you find yourself needing those skills. To dig into this point, and many others, I sit down once more with Troy, of Defender Series Training Group. We chat about the importance of not only training law

The first SITREP of the 2024 calendar year! We're only a handful of days into the new year, and already have a lot to discuss and talk about. It was announced Friday that Wayne LaPierre, the long sitting CEO of the National Rifle Association, is officially resigning, effective at the end of January.

We talk often, but not much, about being fit, or failing. In any number of ways, our physical capability and fitness is tied directly to our survivability. However, we don't often in our community offer depth to the discussion or solutions to remedy it.
