Straight Shootin with Randall

(This is another video that probably helped them decide to delete my YT account, because I made some truthful comparisons of our current situation and some socialist countries that fell over the cliff.) The popular logic with preppers is that during a financial meltdown, city people will flood the rural areas looking for resources. This idea is so common in never even gets questioned. But historically, hordes of people have not instantly abandoned their cities even when hit with starvation. Sometimes even the opposite happened. I'm going to talk about several historic examples, from recent to ancient, that challenge the popular logic.

We don't get to pick when a catastrophe hits. And if we've got to escape a disaster or just relocate to somewhere safer, a vehicle is our best friend. But a simple vehicle problem in the middle of a disaster can get you killed. There's a lot of little things that would normally just be inconvenient that may become downright tragic when you absolutely need that vehicle to be moving in a hurry towards somewhere safer. I'm going to show several simple items you can already have onboard that will get your wheels turning again.

There's no replacement for displacement. Sometimes a big job requires a big knife. This is a review and comparison of two big utility field knives.

This one may ruffle a few feathers, because a lot of people sincerely believe these myths about shooting steel case ammunition in AR rifles. But I'm going to lay out why they really are just myths. I'll also tell you a couple things about steel case ammo you may not know.

Someone kept telling me I should do a video on my range box setup, so I did. From about 4 decades of shooting, in a bunch of different sports and disciplines going back to the 1980's, I've narrowed down what I need for a smooth day at the range. This video is focused mostly on modern gun. I'll probably do one on blackpowder later.

When a person talks about fighting knives or fighting techniques, you're probably going to hear references to what "professional knife fighters" do. I'm going to talk about why that phrase is a red flag.

Reviewing a pair of Bushnell Drop Zone 223 1-4x 24mm optics on two of the most popular AR-15 models. After I go over their specific features, we'll go zero at the range, confirm, and then I'll show you a cool trick with the turrets.

I'm pretty sure this was the video that really got my YT account deleted.

Birdshot for defense, racking shotguns to scare intruders, and pros don't use rifle slings.

When a new shooter goes looking for defensive handgun advice, they're pretty much guaranteed to meet a crowd that recommends a small .380ACP pistol. Especially if the new shooter is female. But is it really optimal as a first handgun?

Let me tell you about a planning system I was exposed to at a couple places in the army. It would become my favorite planning technique and I still use it for almost everything. It works for everything from business, recreation, vacations, to military type operations, big or small. "Not planning to win is planning to lose."

My respectful rebuttal to Yankee Marshall's video about why you shouldn't buy 9mm handguns.

This is the semiauto import version of the VZ-61 Scorpion. It's imported from the Czech Republic as a handgun. And for a pistol it has some pretty unique features.

You hear people use the words Prepper and Survivalist like they are interchangeable. But they really do have significant differences. What are the main differences? And why is it important in your planning to be aware of the differences?

Let's talk about the realities of bugging out. A little about when you should or shouldn't, but mostly about what it really means without any BS. What are the questions that need to be asked before you even make a bugout bag? I'll tell you about my bugout philosophy I call "dog vs coyote" and talk about what I saw in disaster areas and combat zones.

I'm going to show you a bolt override malfunction from a little different perspective and then talk about how to clear it.

Of course, a gun is better for protection than a knife. But in many instances, there's something you should do Before you waste precious moments trying to draw a firearm against an attacker with a blade or similar stabbing weapon.

The pros and cons of two popular combat rifle slings.

I'm going to discuss the philosophy of very small highly concealable handguns and comparing a few. Then we'll shoot some for fun.

You'd have to look pretty hard to find a modern weapon more misunderstood than the AK. I'll break down the big myths surrounding this rifle series vs reality.

In self-defense context, is there a difference between killing and stopping a threat? Yes, there is. And I'll explain why.

Review of the VISM Rear Sight Adjustment Tool for semiauto handguns. If you shoot a lot of pistols with dovetail sights, this type of tool makes getting zeroed much easier. This review is of one of the mid-range priced tools available.

.45acp hitting people in the leg and coming out their back? Assassins and hitmen using 22LR because it bounces inside a skull? Shotguns covering a whole indoor wall?
