Train for all your weather conditions. If its winter 5 months a year where you are, learn to adapt to snow and cold. Get snowshoes, cross country skis etc, read up on Finland in the winter war. If you are in the south, or places like Florida, learn about swamps and jungle, read up on the Vietcong and so on. If you are strictly city, read up on....well, you get the idea. Also, drones, drones and more drones.

If you came across this video/company, DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM….SERIOUSLY!!! They are taking orders and not shipping any products. This has been going on for months. What used to be a credible business has dissolved into something else recently. Their number is automated. You will NOT speak with a person or you’ll get the auto response to email them ONLY, which you will get no response. If you have a membership, I highly encourage you to cancel it!

I went with the m16a3 style 20 inch barreled rifle. Also, from a military stand point. Backpacks are important. If you have a plate carrier, some backpacks can attach to the back of them, but I would recommend having a separate backpack and use it as a replenishment bag. I have my minute gear set up for at least a 3 days assault but per military tradition, leaving my backpack at home (base) or otherwise wherever I sleep, and when I get back (if i do) the backpack is set up to replenish any used ammunition, food, medical gear, anything.

[@viper26ja79]

The only problem I see with keeping radios on hand is you can't encrypt the channels that you're on and if you do use FRS, gmrs, or most other frequencies they can be triangulated to your exact grid Square within 50 feet and IDF or fixed wing can be called in on that position or if IDF is not your problem you just gave away your location and depending on how inexperienced regarding comms and opsec you may have given your whole SALUTE about your element away. This is not to say radios are a bad idea I have a few myself but not a lot of people will have the capability of programming radios, nor the general discipline to stay off the radios. This is especially if they have a family on the other end of that radio during a situation. Also look at how people behave with their phones they're constantly on them even while driving or doing dangerous work, that's a very hard habit to break and it may transfer over to the use of a radio.

[@shawnmurphy4069]

That's where low powered radios like frs shine. Not enough output to rdf and plenty for tac comms.

[@cryora]

Triangulating isn't a basic military skill and is done by special units, so depending on the conflict you may or may not need to worry about it.

there arent many rifles nor people that can shoot accurately in excess of 500 yards with 5.56. This video is great though!

[@rodneymoore7270]

Magnification is great but a 5.56 ar-15 IS accurate as presented by my experience as a soldier shooting at the range usually once a year sometimes twice with open/peep sights out to 500 yards. That was the range used back in my day with my M-16 A1. Don't get me wrong MAGNIFICATION IS WONDERFUL but knowing HOW to shoot accurately with ANY reliable sights is IMPORTANT. Have iron bu sights and KNOW how to use them as well. SUPRESSOR .... sighhhh wonderful after you deal with the atf .... LUCKY enough to be military veteran?!? Luck has nothing to do with it ... we volunteered! Cardio at my age .... sighhhhh ... Not afraid to die at my age. Not afraid to live till then .... oh yeah 2 point sling .... Light use with only the upmost needful discretion ... it makes a fine target for someone without a light.

[@AnthonyMichaels-g9s]

I agree with what you say in most of your comments, but what about fighting at night? An LPVO is not a good solution especially if running NODS. Most shit is going to go down at night, so you need to be able to fight at night and have the right tools for the job. I believe in a second upper dedicated for night fighting . Red Dot or Eotech. My #1 choice is a 3-6X ACOG with a RMR mounted on top, along with your lasers. On the day fighting upper have an LPVO and an offset RMR OR again the 3-6X ACOG with RMR

[@alexkudov7669]

An interesting look at the military threat. In my opinion, the modern local war is 90% production and 10% force actions. 1. A shovel is the main weapon of a soldier or a minuteman. 2. Many citizens, minutemen and volunteers in the DPR and LPR talked about the importance of bicycles. A minuteman without transport cannot operate further than two miles from his temporary base. If you do not have transport at a distance of 10 miles, you will expose 3 people out of 30. 3. You need tools, tape, some construction film, some transparent film, nails and screws and fire extinguishers. You have to fend for example hydraulic shock on water system and arrange fire protection at the same time. And then restore housing or base. Get fireproof gas masks and suits (painting suits + raincoats made of fiberglass). You must be ready to produce clothes, dressings, mines locally. 4. Naked рlate carriers is bulletproof bibs. It is better then to wear one chest plate in the chest rig as ANA tactical Alpha or 6б46 БНЗ and hidden body armor vest with a large area of protection. The main threat comes from shrapnel. The helmet, glasses and soft armor of the sides, belt, groin, neck, ass are important. Knee pads are very important, active earplugs, 3-5 TQ, 3-4 bandage. But you need to be able to hide your belonging to the armed troop. And it's easy enough to have a weapon on 5,56 (or 5,45 for me). In 90% probability, the driver will not need a weapon, for example. But cluster munition or an air defense missile may arrive at your market or bus stop. Your city can be remotely mined. Individual mines can be placed from drones on roads and trails. 5. Lighten and simplify your gear. You have to carry a lot of magazines, tools, armor and medicine.
