Season 1
Trevor is on with me this week and we catch up on some of his recent gear upgrades and decisions. We also pontificate about the gas prices here in the U.S., how it relates to the growing issues overseas, and why the social media virtue signaling by the liberal masses here in CONUS don't actually help or support the people of Ukraine. He shares some insight on the economic impacts of recent evens and what we can even expect to see out of some bank account rates and the housing market too. A unique perspective to be sure!
This week, to kick off Women's History Month, Lexy hosts her first episode! Lexy sits down with Kim and they talk the female perspective of the 2A and prepper communities. As we continue to see growth within our society and culture, statistically, it's still predominantly male, and very critical that you welcome your wives, sisters, daughters, and friends into this world and help them embrace their right to self defense. No man-splaining here, it's just the girls this week!
This week, Lexy and I discuss the current events surrounding the invasion of Ukraine by Russia. At the time of our recording we're at the first day of what's been over 160 missile attacks, and military action by land, sea, and air. We discuss what we both know so far, and also talk about why what we do here, being prepared and well educated, can be so important when put in such a context. Citizens in Ukraine are now being called upon to take up arms, and defend their home. Such a situation is something that can still happen, even in 2022, and it's important we all take steps to be prepared.
This week, I had the chance to sit down and chat with Dillon Ruth, or as he's better known on social media, student_operator. We had an outstanding discussion around civilian preparedness, mindset, attitude and more. Also was fascinated to hear about his extensive work running a annual range day fundraiser that supports the Green Beret Foundation. Definitely one you won't want to skip, give it a listen!
This week, I talk about the Freedom Convoy that's been moving across Canada, and gaining plenty of momentum with our neighbors to the North. Locally, this convoy has now blocked the Ambassador Bridge and caused a major commotion and corruption to trade and commerce routes. I share my thoughts on everything that has led to this, as well as what this potentially means for the near future.
Its been waaaay too long since I've sat down and done a SITREP and talked about some key current events. So today, I briefly share my thoughts and feelings around some new court decisions, some new proposed legislation by our current administration, and more.
Winter is in full effect here in Michigan, and the "snow-mageddon" panic has set in for this season as folks flock to the stores to buy all the milk, eggs, and bread. As life-long mid-westerners, we have some experience living through these conditions. Lexy and I sit down and share some of stories and experiences, and talk about how most of them could have been avoided with a little preparation, and a touch of common sense.
Rob is back with me, and we're talking rifles! We do some comparing and contrasting around different optics, barrel lengths, which things lend themselves to which situations, and what just plain doesn't make sense. It's great getting Rob's opinion and experiences on the subject, and a discussion you'll definitely want to check out!
The new year is in full swing, and so is our calendar! I wanted to take a moment to sit and share with everyone our goals for the 2022 year, and what we have coming down the road over the next several months. Goals are a important part to sustained success and we have plenty set up for this year, and beyond. I talk about guests, gear, topics, and even in some areas shifting our focus and development. We plan to have even more success in 2022 than we did last year!
This past weekend, Lexy and I had the opportunity to take our first training class together. We headed out to Ann Arbor Arms once again, and participated in their Concealed Carry Tactics course. This was my 2nd class and Lexy's first ever! It was a fantastic overall experience and we both learned so much in just 4 hours. We talk about what we learned, Lexy's experience for her first time, our take-away's and observations, and much more.
