Dirty Civilian

Nearly every community is serviced by some type of Search and Rescue Team. But often SAR Teams lean heavily on volunteers and individual gear and resources when disaster strikes. In this episode, Mitch Wiuff breaks down his minimalist loadout for when he assists in clearing the way and locating, caring for, and extracting people in need of help. We strongly encourage everyone to link up with local SAR teams to see how you or your crew could be of assistance and what resources you have to offer to amplify their capabilities, as well as get some training.

Wearing your gear on the flat range is one thing. But have you tried doing it for days at a time without taking it off? Drew talks about his first Milsim West event at Muscatatuk Urban Training Center, what to bring, what not to bring, what you can expect from the experience, and why it's great. Two days in full kit isn't actually that hard, but if you haven't lived in your gear longer than that, Milsim West is a great way to step into that world and test yourself.

A common misconception is that by having a full-kit loadout in your vehicle, you're ready for everything. In reality, that only makes you equipped for very specific situations that aren't likely to occur. So if you're going to have that, why not put as much, if not more effort into having the tools and ability to handle likely scenarios you could come across in your daily travels? In this video, Drew goes through everything he packs in his FJ Cruiser for daily travels as well as extended trips and how to organize your gear. 15% Discount on all Vertx products | Code: DIRTYCIVILIAN My Patriot Supply | https://www.preparewithdc.com Dirty Civilian Merch | https://dirtycivilian.com/store - Patreon | https://www.patreon.com/dirtycivilian - Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/dirtycivilian - Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/dirtycivilian - Podcast | https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/JaC0iCHXyzb - Website | https://www.dirtycivilian.com 00:00 Delusions of Grandeur 01:41 Everyday vs Someday 03:00 Truck Gun & Full Kit 08:15 Medical Kit 13:06 Back Hatch Tools 16:12 Don't Be That Guy 18:17 Extra Clothing 22:18 Sustainment Gear 28:32 Vehicular Tools 40:29 Glove Box & Console

Nothing wrong with that, but at some point, you should build a loadout based on what would be most effective in the environment you find yourself in the most often. Josh goes over his Ripcord 14.5 that he built and the kit he assembled once he left Portland and moved into the hills of Tennessee.

As conflicts change, so do the weapons. Then, as the tools adapt, the tactics, techniques, and procedures shift again. Today, we talk With Kyle Lamb about his experience with the Colt 723 in Mogadishu, Somalia during Operation Gothic Serpent. We compare this rifle to his current build and find a few changes and a lot of similarities. We then hit the range and shoot a handful of drills to test the shoot-ability of each gun. Many thanks to Dr. Earl Burress and Augee Kim of Enhanced Tactical Arms for helping Kyle source the kit.

Going beyond point-and-shoot distances? You better know what you're doing. But before arithmetic and calculations come into the equation, what can you do to set yourself up for success? Josh teams up with Adrian Leatherman, a former US Army Sniper who now runs Sidewinder Concepts, to work on some long-range basics. Why is this important for civilians to know? Much of the fundamentals of shooting long-range are transferable to short-range and it never hurts to have this skill set in your back pocket for... potentially hard times ahead.

Many of our interests when we were kids (that carried over into adulthood) were influenced by action movies and video games. The same is true for the next generation, whether we like it or not and for better or for worse. Josh and Drew debate on the responsibility developers and directors have in bringing realism to the entertainment that is shaping the minds of the next generation. Ultimately, it's parents that need to be doing the teaching and pointing out the good, the bad, and the ugly. Sound off in the comments on films & games that get it right.

Many would see this as a "future" rifle setup. Truth is, it is a "now" rifle setup, as enemies both foreign and domestic have individual capabilities much greater than the average citizen.

When zeroing your rifle or pistol, it’s a good idea to have someone else confirm for you. You may be consistently pulling shots that feel good but aren’t. Adding that second party to verify has proven a lot of us wrong in the past. - Shoot with friends, build each other up more than you break each other down. #dirtycivilian
