Why training is more important than ever

[@RobMichael]

I've been slowly implementing several of these resilience things into my life style over the last couple of years: moving to the country, gardening, training regularly with firearms, establishing good surveillance systems, putting aside food and water, and upping my physical fitness. Lost 40 lbs @ 58 years old, workout most days, stopped driving 4 miles to retrieve my mail and hike instead. Built-out emergency kits for all of our vehicles-- The story continues....

[@thejohnhend]

Good job man! I’m 47 and trying to lose 10-20 lbs and I hope it’s just that muscle weighs more than fat because it’s been a bitch just to see 5lbs off.

[@adamthompson8432]

I’m 46 and went hard starting a year ago and I’m down 70 pounds. Gosh it feels good to feel good. Keep up the good work.

[@Mike-hn4uu]

Ive been lifting, modeling and therefore weight-cutting for 20 years now and I will tell you one tip that helped me.... walking 40 mins as many days per week as I can in addition to the MANDATORY weight training (however often you can get it in) will do the trick. I know you probably know this, but for me as a big ass dude with a lot of muscle weight, I was still astonished at how much adding that slow, controlled "cardio" made all the difference. ALL the difference. When you do fasted walks in the morning and then work out whenever later on it helps even more. Good luck brother!!!! KEEP IT UP!!! @@thejohnhend

[@andrewbellinger6120]

I ditched all grain and sugar and 35lbs of fat melted off my gut in 2 months and arthritis in my hands and feet gone. Whats crazy is I'm eating way more than I used to, alot of high fat ribeyes and ground beef, sweet potato, eggs, cheese, probably 3500-4000 calories a day and im at the weight i was in my 20s. As long I avoid wheat/bread/pasta/rice/sugar my body just seems to want to stay lean regardless of eating like a pig.

[@sombra6153]

I salute you guys who’ve made great effort to get back in shape later in life. I did it once at 50 then job & leisure and other stuff crept back in. Working at it again at 60 with a bad back - genetic rather than couch-induced. I’ve noted that staying away from sugar, fried garbage, soda also reduces or eliminates acid reflux, thus reducing or eliminating the need for acid blockers. Resistance bands are great for strength-building and range of mobility improvements when weight training causes further injuries or damage. Wish you all the best.

Mike, you killed it in this segment! Many great points were made, including the mindfulness we must all bare.

[@CalmBeforeTheStorm76]

This is an absolutely critical message for every adult man and woman to hear. As someone who went from nothing to pummeling myself at the gym, which lasted for almost 15 years, I can say, without a doubt, challenge and pain, struggle... builds *grit* ... and that grit with humility and good habits *is* the difference between success and failure.

[@XioC652]

Yeah, I'm glad I found your channel. I've been training my whole life. My brother in the other hand, is green. But I'm teaching him basic combat readiness, etc. Such doing push-ups and jumping jacks- burpies for 15 seconds and then readying a firearm and hitting the target. All of these things are important

[@jeff0247598]

Reading Lt. Col. Dave Grossman's stuff, I learned how valuable it is to disrupt the enemy's ooda loop. Conversely, I've learned what it feels like to have my ooda loop disrupted as well. Performing under stress, lethal circumstances, is incredibly difficult. If you don't train for it, you likely will not perform. The only way to learn how to perfrom under the worst conditions is to train, train, train. Even then, until it happens, you don't really know. Train. Give yourself the best chance to protect your family and yourself. Again, thank you Mike for educating our general civilian population and former cops like myself. You remind me how much I've let my guard down, my situational awareness has been dismal and I need to be a positive role model to my sons.

[@triplehfarmsllc7348]

You are very correct sir. I was in the military and was in LE for 2 after getting out. And I train weekly and we know it’s muscle memory that you build and what keeps you going under high stress. But acouple months back had a armed intruder that wasn’t armed at first as far as empty hands go but he was in the act of pulling to shoot and I seen him and beat him to the shooting part. But lord it was a different kinda stress then anyone of the incidents over seas taking someone out. And man was my grouping all over the place. Out of 6 rounds at 27ftish never for a full distance only 2 hit its target. And yes 6rds isn’t a lot when you have 18 in the weapon but when I couldn’t see the threat you go back to oh shit am I empty is the threat just outta sight are there more people all while checking on the family and putting hard cover between myself and the threat. But performance very hard under the stress of not only protecting yourself but protecting your wife and child is a stress I’ve never felt before that put me into a legit panic attack after LE got on scene and it was forsure cleared that we had no more threats. Also this wasn’t at my house it was at a vacation rental house that we rented. Things would have probably went totally different at home. 1 I have cameras around my house 2 always ready with more then a sig p365 macro X and 3 have 2 dogs one is a bloodhound that will alert before you get close enough to set off and camera and we have a trained GSD that’s trained for protection and if all that doesn’t make someone leave then I hope they like a gunfight in the dark. I don’t run NV and TV nods and scopes on things for just coyotes.

Thank you for doing ham radio. I know nothing about it, and desperately need to. Also, Canning and Jarring was an outstanding class. I'm trying to do better learning stuff that intimidates me.

[@susanl.3580]

I've been prepping for 7 years. The training never ends. There's so much to learn. I workout 5 days a week, run daily, and use weekends for training for things like canning, salt-curing meat, range time and classes, Stop the Bleed courses, water collection and water filtration, weekend drills with eating only food I cooked on fires I made, and practicing solar energy drills. You don't just do these ince or twice and master them. It takes time. I have gardened for years, grew my own wheat this year. When I ground it and made a trusted bread recipe, it failed. Know why? Fresh ground wheat doesn't work the same in regular flour recipes. I only learned that after that mistake and wasted my flour. Unless you train and practice, you don't know all of your blind spots. I have had countleas failures along the way. Keep training and practicing to get ready. I am wishing everyone the best!!!

Love that the 1st conference will be on COMMS! I still struggle with this damn Baofeng! We lugged around a heavy-ass Prick77 (cromagnon, I know!) and I'd jump at the opportunity to get current on comms. Every time I watch one of your vids, Mike, it's like a hammer to the head to wake up and train. To be humble. Experience counts for nothing if you aren't constantly honing your skills. Yesterday's bravado gets you shit today. Today we lost power way up here in the Adirondacks in the middle of the night. It was localized to like 3 homes hundreds of meters apart up here in the woods. So I took the opportunity to train it like it was a power-cut infil into JUST my place, that I needed to defend at 0100hrs. Crakned up my NOD's and guess what? The fuking batteries were shit. I had failed to monthly test them. What a hammer to the head! So hell yes, Mike, bring it ON!

I went and got my technician license. It is $15 and some studying that will ensure communication and information. Not a bad investment. I think that is a perfect starting point. Keep up the good work Sir.

[@haveaniceday7950]

Is it easy, do you have technical background? How much study?

[@russ_vee_jr4199]

Basically, it's easy for the Technician Class Licence. You take a 50, or maybe it's 70, question test. There're 4 answers, and you select the correct one. You can throw out 2 of the answers because they're usually obviously wrong. You need a passing score of 70%, I think. The questions are randomly selected from a pool of around 250. The pool is published with correct and wrong answers and is available online. There're several online study guids that thourally explain each question and why the wrong answers are wrong and the correct answer is correct. You can also buy books that do the same. There're web pages with practice tests. You guess at the correct answer and it corrects you if you're wrong with an explanation of what is correct. The practice programs keep track of your correct/wrong answers. It asks you your incorrect questions more often than your correct questions. Some newbies study for 1 week and ace the test. Others study for 4 to 6 weeks, fail, and retake the test 2 or 3 times before passing. You can retake the test several times on the same test session without paying $15 for each retest. Most study for a few weeks and pass the first time. You can buy a Boafeng Dual Band hand held 5 Watt radio for $30 on Amazon. It's just as good as a $500 radio from the 'Big Guys' when it comes to Transmitting and almost as good Receiving. Jump in with both feet and never look back. Good Luck........

[@siayx_5128]

Always love the content Mike. Straight forward and real. I want to be more involved and train but it's difficult finding people to do things with, so in the meantime I just do what I can alone or with my significant other until I cross paths with like minded individuals. I like being uncomfortable because it makes me comfortable. It's as if I don't have a fire under my ass I struggle but when I have that fire under me, I find a way because I have to. I always try to stay humble and be a student because there will always be someone out there better than me but I also pass over information and knowledge I've gained and learned to others. We can always learn something new or gain a new insight into something. Egos hurt people because they let it run them. Keep it real, always!

[@sombra6153]

I appreciate your comments and admonishments. Triggers and trauma - when communities that wish to be likened to herds of sheep prefer to hire sheep to protect them rather than sheep dogs or Shepards, then the kinds of tragedies the three letter news media and old established, crumbling-from-within news papers like to report on happen. That’s the difference when those who would respond either by vocation or simple civic obligation don’t do anything as opposed to others who just acted. There seems to be a lot of engrained hesitation because some first responders know that there is a strong likelihood of being prosecuted and convicted themselves with no backing from their administration or sympathy from the community that doesn’t realize that some members benefited from a kid with a badge and gun having to make a hard decision. Seems like there was a time in New England when members of the community, at least between ages 18-50 would have responded to an alert, met at designated rally point, and headed out to conduct a well trained and organized search for someone who caused the community a lot of anguish rather than staying home, locking doors, and waiting for some government entity to tell them it was safe to come out. Local law enforcement, even state emergency services would have been a part of that organized effort rather an impediment.

Great info Mike, please keep it coming

[@Graymanone]

Agree with going to multiple training courses. Been to a number of shooting courses from different instructors but still see the benefits of shooting on a flat range to work on fundamentals. Based on my training to use deadly force is based on being in fear of my life or the life of another. Courts looks at the objective standard and is based on the totality of circumstances. (Just ordered your book) Good info, as is the norm.

[@triplehfarmsllc7348]

Yeah flat range forsure but make it a task that gets your heart rate up. Once a week I have a range day and do my workout while doing so. Didn’t before but after being a in a deadly force situation all flat range did was helped with muscle memory of am I empty or do I need to reload. But did it help with accuracy no. I can say without a doubt 14 years in the military and taking life vs this one incident taking life that stressors between the 2 night and day. I feel like it was more the stress of keeping my wife and daughter life safe then worrying about loosing my own. But it’s got me good after everything was cleared safe and over I had a panic attack over it. Could be because of years in service it made it so bad idk. but it’s been harder then my entire military career ten fold. And yes it’s recent it happened but I struggle more with the why about it. Because I begged the man to leave and told him not to make me shoot him many times and he made the choice of pulling a gun. But why and for what. It was a know. Rental house had nothing in it of value 1 tv in a 5 bedroom house. And I’ll never know is the hardest thing. But sorry for the long story idk how to shorten it up anymore then that and for someone to possibly understand it.

[@susanl.3580]

I've always thought through the home invasion or obvious armed public threat scenarios. Those are clear-cut decision points for shooting. The other scenarios are shades of gray...I could use training in those areas

[@triplehfarmsllc7348]

Idk training is good for combat but high stress home invasions using deadly force no training prepares you for that mental torture. And it’s torture and a roller coaster at best. Maybe some situations are different but in mine the person wasn’t armed at first as far as a weapon in hand he later pulled it out of his waistband vs say an invasion where the person is armed from square one. But I’ve taken life in war and had that stress that turned into nothing and taking a life as a citizen vs soldiers totally different and the after effects are the worst. Because after getting out of the military and being done with war fighting it was a struggle yes but I knew the why I had to do what I did and I know why they did what they did. But with the intruder I knew why I had to do what I did but I do not know why that person did what they did and that is my struggle the why.

[@ttpnw1776]

Thoughts on using killhouse airsoft fields for stress training? Made a great point with the grey area of making the right decision, learning from multiple sources whom have experience on all sides of the fence to understand every consequence for the possible scenarios that can and will occur. Knowledge is the power to make decisions and if you drill everything into your head from research and listening you will make thise decisions more precisely and more quickly instead of scratching your head or just reacting

[@triplehfarmsllc7348]

Research and listening will not help 100% 14 years in the military and 2 years LEO. And it’s more of a mentality thing. Some just don’t have a temperament and wherewithal to make the right decisions. But physical training 100% helps some but that said, real world vs airsoft or even actual war are not the same. And they do not have the stress as having to use deadly force in a self defense situation. And I’m saying this as I’ve been in war and taken life and I’ve also had to use deadly force on an individual that broke into a add on too a rental house that pulled a gun to protect my family and my self. And war is the closest thing too that kinda stress and even then war was nothing after acouple fire fights it becomes normal and you go looking for that fight and you know the why so it makes it easier. But as a person no longer in the military with everything behind me to have the intruder situation it was worse then anything as far as stress then anything overseas. Could it be things over seasons crushing down on top of protecting my wife and 8 year old daughter idk but I do know the struggle I’m still having is the why. That why he did what he did I’ll never know. And it tough and hard to forget and not have come across your mind. So even with all my training and experience on top of weekly training. The only thing I did well was getting shots on target and off target at 27ft and stopped when my target was out of sight into the darkness and know to check in my family and make sure I didn’t need to reload. And to think this isn’t over and I need hard cover and my family needs hard cover now and that hardcover needs to be behind the hardcover I’m taking so that I can keep there location out of worry that a threat can get 1 in between me and them and 2 that threat has to get through me to get by the hardcover I have to get them. Lucky. I got ugly shots down range and 2 of 6 hit and stopped that threat. And I’m very good with weapons and close quarters combat was in the sf for 12 of the 14 years served. And for the life of me idk how I was overwhelmed with the stress my grouping down range was very poor even though I stopped that threat. Farthest - farthest was 30-35inchs L/R and 20inchs T/B very ugly grouping. And that was coming up from a low ready as I seen the weapon in hand and coming out of his waistband and I do remember re-gripping have shot 1 and then after shot 2-3 and then again after to a total of 6 rds fired and I didn’t know how many I fired until the scene was cleared to get are belongings out of the house and seen scene in the daylight and seen that the person just out of sight of darkness had actually went down and later passed away at the hospital. So add range day in with a workout so you get your heart rate as high as possible. And as far as getting your anger and temper under control a doctor you trust can help or just go into the military 😂

[@ttpnw1776]

@@triplehfarmsllc7348 that was quite the response, much appreciate hearing from one's personal experience 👍 sorry you had to go through that amd God bless you for your 14 years of service. honestly have not found any ranges in my area that have stress training on any level unfortunately, which is why I brought up airsoft. Building good habits and muscle memory. There's not much access for civilians for good training that transitions into real world, there's no longer much of a mindset to always be ready in today's society. Every acts and thinks it'll be ok and think someone is always going to be there to step in but the reality of our current state is no one is coming for them and they're not ready or prepared to react and survive in the mindset of I must rely on myself to survive and win with no other option. Do appreciate ya cheers my guy

[@triplehfarmsllc7348]

@@ttpnw1776 yeah I definitely understand airsoft is fun but that’s the thing it’s fun and a game and I also have the luxury of having my own range at home. But I literally have a 24x16 building by my range and put my old gym equipment in it and use that to get my heart rate up. And I normally at the end will burn my out and then end that with 2-3 mags. Now that’s way harder than it looks 😂 makes a handgun feel like it’s 40lbs. But doing a workout has been the closest thing I found as far as getting as close as possible and you can also run and do pushups if you have had gym equipment still does just as good. But being out of breath and heart beat up works wonderful and if you can have someone with you and setup 3-4 targets and have them give you a random order to fire and time it and have them the time limit of say 8 shots on 3 targets in a weird order in under 5 seconds and have your heart rate up while out of breath. It’s super fun and very challenging and a lot harder than one would think. I’d get into reloading if you don’t because buying box ammo gets very expensive when you are shoot 1000-2000rds a month.

[@ttpnw1776]

@@triplehfarmsllc7348 doing some sort of work put before and during to get the heart rate up probably is the closest I can get to doing drills under stress.
