2023/03/23

One of the questions I get the most from folks, is around what to buy for their first firearm, what's a good belt, can I recommend a plate carrier. I get asked almost these same questions every time a friend approaches me about wanting to get into preparedness. As such, this is something I've been collecting several thoughts around, and wanting to do a episode on for a while.

2023/03/10

To many of us in the training community, we've become so inundated and overwhelmed with the use of the term "recce" that I don't know if we even still know what it means. It's something I have a idea about, and see a lot of information thrown around about, but haven't deeply addressed personally. I'm joined this week, by my friend Adrian, owner of Sidewinder Concepts, to do just that. We take a deep dive into the mindset and skillsets that build recce concepts.

Early on, one of the most ridiculous criticisms I ever received, was that "Mindset doesn't matter in any of this, you should change the name of your podcast", and I still remember the feeling of disbelief. Mindset is the foundation and core of everything we collectively pursue, and ultimately will be the thing that makes us or breaks us.
