If you were to imagine robbing a bank, images from dozens of dramatic films might spring to mind — men with masks and guns violently crashing into the bank in the middle of the day, firing shots into the air and leaping onto desks. You might picture how they have to deal with a “wild […]

Just how often do hear about people going out on hikes and ending up being rescued by EMTs because they were ill prepared for Mother Nature’s tendency to f*&! up a good weekend of hiking? Way too often, if you ask me. Call it Bear Grylls Syndrome, but I’m always amazed at how light some […]

The holiday season is upon us, which means shopping, cooking, cleaning for guests, and if you’re lucky, a fair amount of celebratory cheer that manages to sneak its way past all the stress and anxiety that coincides with a home full of your extended family.  There’s nothing wrong with letting the Christmas or Hanukkah spirit […]

In “John Wick 2,” the story’s protagonist finds his way into a tailor shop that seems ordinary enough… that is until they ask him what style he wants his suit, to which Wick responds calmly, “tactical.” The bulletproof suit Wick wears throughout the rest of the movie serves as the only thing that keeps the […]

We have all spent time in a hotel while traveling away from home. The Hotel environment can be the perfect place for the criminal element to either stalk you, steal your personal belongings or threaten physical harm. For me personally I always keep the door locked and do not disturb sign out. The following video highlights 4 […]

A series of massive wildfires raging across the American Southwest have already scorched some 83,000 acres, destroying homes and businesses along the way.  Tens of thousands of people have been forced to evacuate as the fires approach larger population centers, to include the city of Los Angeles. Images and videos have begun to emerge on social […]

Not every encounter or engagement is going to be a static target 25 yards away. Most attacks happen within what’s called the combative bubble. If you were to draw a circle around yourself that was 7 yards from your centerline, that is your combative bubble. Anything that happens within this 7 yards will more likely […]

If you’re on the road a lot you need a survival kit. I was on leave a couple months back and driving a mountain pass when a snowstorm hit suddenly. The snow plows hadn’t yet arrived and the roads rapidly became very treacherous.  Cars were getting stuck on the side of the road every 10-20 feet […]

We live in a techno-centric age. Everything is at our fingertips. We have cell phones that can navigate our roads from point A-to-point B. Our phones also have GPS grid coordinates at the quick typing of an app, that can pinpoint your exact location.  But what happens in the event of an emergency and you […]

Given the numerous natural disasters and large-scale riots protests across the country, it’s as good a time as any to cover (or discover) what considerations should go into building a “Go-Bag”. First, let’s differentiate between a Go-Bag and a Bug-Out-Bag (B.O.B).  A Go-Bag is synonymous with a Get-Home-Bag.  This is a small to medium pack containing just […]

Imagine you’re a pilot who’s just been shot down over enemy territory (cruel to call upon your imagination and so quickly insert such an unpleasant thought, I know). Upon reaching the ground, you extricate yourself from your parachute as the sounds of approaching enemy vehicles echo in the distance. Grabbing your pack, you sprint for […]

Often, we shoot on our own without outside input or supervision. How can we maximize our training time and expenses by dialing ourselves in? Distance. Not only is distance our friend in a gun-fight but it can be our friend in training time. Since becoming a pistol and rifle instructor, I find myself not having […]
