Every Citizen a Soldier

In this video I discus various night vision helmet set-ups. What do you need, what do you not need? Link for article https://everycitizenasoldier.blogspot.com/2022/05/how-to-purchase-night-part-1.html Also a shout out to my friend at https://parsonsprecision.com/shop

In this video I will discuss the necessity of logistics in conflict. Logistics, vs stockpiling is one of the oft overlooked aspects of preparation for the modern American patriot vs survivalist. https://everycitizenasoldier.blogspot.com/2021/05/the-five-bs-of-logistics.html

This video contains real images of combat. It could be disturbing for some viewers. Though in a world of Call of Duty, I doubt it. The images are gathered from around the interwebs and show various armed conflicts. This compilation is made expressly to show the value/capabilities of thermal optics, even commercial grade hunting optics, in today's world. The information provided to introduce each video is based on the sources that I acquired the videos from. I have no sure way to check its authenticity. My commentary is based on experience using similar optics. The take home message is that, with modern technology, it is very difficult to “own the night.” Bear in mind that first world militaries and police have capabilities far beyond what is shown in these videos, which is basic hunting equipment in the US.

In the spirit of always showing my mistakes I did the worst I've done in a match in a LONG time. All because of one mistake, due to a failure in training. Lesson learned and it gave me a topic for my next video.

Every so often, especially after major changes, you need to get out and get that tactical gear dirty. It's not just for Instagram pictures! Music by Minor Threat

1) I have really enjoyed building and having my home gym and doing more exercise at home and I want to encourage others to do the same. 2) I want to build more content availability on YouTube alternates related to this. 3) I am not qualified to give advice on exercise 4) Stronger people are harder to kill and more useful in general.

An older video I found, showing some buddies and I getting in a good CCW practice session. Notice that elements of movement during the draw and fast reaction to an unknown target are being drilled.

I don't care what the current ammunition situation is, you should be doing dry-fire training. It is a good way to improve accuracy (sight picture and trigger squeeze) but it is also a good way to master your presentation (AKA draw) from concealment. In this video I offer up some of the things I do.

Ammo availability has improved a bit. what if you've got a 50 round box you want to take to the range? Here is what I do.

I wanted to test the Battle Steel (Botach) III+ Special Threat plate. Level three plates are much lighter and thinner than most level IV plates but will not stop m855 green tip 5.56 rounds. The Special Threat plates do. But I wanted to make sure.

Fitness is the number one thing that will up your survival (in any situation.) It's relatively cheap, but requires far more dedication. Figure out a way to improve your body and get started. Music by The Undead
