Thank you. I never served in the military so my knowledge and experience base is different. I worked on disaster relief when people can be at their best or very worst. I volunteered 31 years in National Forest, so woodland navigation is second nature. Look I need to learn and your channel helps.

"The power of the sword, say the minority…, is in the hands of Congress. My friends and countrymen, it is not so, for The powers of the sword are in the hands of the yeomanry of America from sixteen to sixty. The militia of these free commonwealths, entitled and accustomed to their arms, when compared with any possible army, must be tremendous and irresistible. Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man against his own bosom. Congress has no power to disarm the militia. Their swords and every terrible implement of the soldier are the birthright of Americans. The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments but where, I trust in God, it will always remain, in the hands of the people." -The Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788. - Tench Coxe

Well, I watch YT and survival people. Your vids taught me land nav and compass use and much more. Others have taught me too. Being disabled, I value knowledge and skills others show on their YT vids. My task will be to use my mind first and then everything else. What I'm most proud of are the skills I've learned from people like you on YT and then put to use to see if I could do it. I found I can do them, with only a few tries. Thank you for all your content and the lessons they teach all of us. Take Care and Stay Safe.

Right on bud! Never let the things you can’t do stop you from doing the things you can. One thing to do now is learn your acronyms. Military channels will make more sense: mett-tc, ocoka, cworms, pmessi-pt, ascope, 5 principles of patrolling, blues (op setup) for starters. Good luck, have some fun.

Stoker...good video. Folks need to realize that you can apply this to non-kinetic scenarios too. But you should never go into a contested environment without knowing how to plan and understand purpose. Veterans often use this kind of military doctrinal philosophy in everyday life. Thanks brother - your peaceful delivery is helpful to refresh my memory.

I for one really like your content,, keep it up. I live in a very small town in the north east of NY. I have an ideal location with one way in and one way out, pretty much an island of about 40 acres with 8 homes and a couple of camps. It is easly dependable with just a few people. My issue is getting these people together and to have a plan of action. Some of them who know me well think I am a little nuts doing what I do. I have no idea if they have preps and so I give out very little info about my situation. I know this is a weakness but don't know how to improve it. Any thoughts ? Stay safe.

You said nothing this entire video haha, mett tc is a planning tool for commanders so they can analyze battle space, And can break down mission variables to lower level leadership within a unit. This has next to no relatable factors for prepared civilians haha. People have enough common sense to think of a plan during shtf. It’s cringe you veterans that never did anything continually have to try to relate military doctrine to civilian preparedness.

Where are you finding these people with COMMON SENSE? Most people I encounter have no clue what's happening on their own street, much less in the world around us. These are NOT high level thinkers with a plan. You are correct in that METT-TC is a bust for civilian consumption.
