Absence and Other Stuff

Yes; it's true.  I haven't written a thing in just under a month.  No particular reason, other than I don't know if there's anything I can add to the conversation at this point.   I'm physically fine; recovering from a second, but much less severe bout of the 'coof', will return to work in a few days, and try to get to the point of working out again somewhat quickly, in this, our possibly last summer of 'normalcy' (as I believe November has has some bad portents attached to it), being that it is evident TPTB want all this confusion and unrest.  See Herschel's piece, here, for more detail.

So, what I don't want to become is yet another blog that breathlessly regurgitates the news a day or a week after it's been published on just about every other blog or news site.

Before, and after I get over the 'coof', I'll be busy doing the LGOP (Little Groups of Patriots) development thing, one person at a time, identifying, persuading, and teaching new 'trad' converts how to become self-sufficient (surprisingly, there are a LOT of people who are willing to listen one on one - most likely because their profile remains low), acquire and safely use and become proficient with their personal defense tools, how to very subtly increase their chances by developing their own networks, and really learn that people can live next to each other while having different values and help each other.  You know, by respecting private property, our natural rights, and those of others.  Being respectful to those we converse with while being ready to defend ourselves and those we care for is key here.

For those of you who have asked my status, my sincere thanks; I appreciate your concern very much!

I'll be writing more as things become more interesting, but I think they'll be focused on fundamental skills vice news items that take us further down the road.  I may also post anecdotal observations based on raw information coming from various folks I know in various industries.

Thanks for your patience.

Keep up your dry fire and weapons nomenclature training along with everything else you need to get through the coming winter.

          DTG’s 2021 Updated 10 Week (If You’re Lucky) Plan                      to Prepare for the Worst-Case Scenario     It’s been about 13 or 14 years since I wrote this under my since retired ‘nom de guerre’, and commenting on a blog post recently, CA at Western Rifle Shooter’s Association asked me if I’d mind updating it.   This is a good base plan for folks you might know just waking up to the fact that things are spinning faster in the vortex than ever before, and this might be the best chance for them to get themselves in gear.   Feel free to add or take away as your situation and local area conditions may require.   Understand something, though:   You have a VERY small window; it may even be too late should something happen that accerlerates the current environment like a JATO (Jet Assisted Take Off) rocket on a C130.   So, if you’re just getting started, you need to act now, as in today.   Not next week.   Not in two weeks.   You may not HAVE two weeks. You may be thinking,

Beware of the Seductress...

Just as Samson was seduced by Delilah, so can you be seduced by the internal desire you have to one degree or another to have all the latest, greatest, coolest, most technically advanced, and 'tacticool' weapons, gear, and associated support equipment available,  which, by necessity, will set you back many, many thousands of dollars,  usually.  When sporty times come, the first thing you'll need to be able to do is actually use what you have.   The you have to be able to carry it all.  I mention this Nevada a great many,  "gear-a-holics" are not in the best shape.   Remember a good rule of thumb:  All your gear,  including weapons, ammo, equipment (all types), food and water shouldn't weigh more than about 65 or 70 pounds.  Then, if you're planning on being mobile, you should be ruckingin all sorts of weather over varying distances at a pace of no less than 3 miles an hour over relatively flat and clear routes.  But, if you've been collecting gear, I u

PSA - Instant Incapacitation of an Attacker...

  First, I forget where I got this graphic; it's been a long while.  It's good though, for this post's purposes.  For the uninitiated, or new prepper, protector, defender, NPT member, etc (whatever your group calls the new guys), 'CNS' stands for 'Central Nervous System'. There are three ways to achieve instant incapacitation with a firearm against an attacker:  Shoot them in one of the 3 places as outlined above. Other descriptions of the targets (and very effective if a bad actor is shot there) are: FRONT:  The Occular Cavity SIDE:  The Temple (just a smidge toward the top of the ear) REAR:  Medula Oblongata (where the brain stem resides at the top of the spine where the brain joins the spinal column. A shot in any of these three locatations brings about catastropic INSTANT failure of all systems in the body.  Put another way:  "Instant Rag Doll."  There's no last chance to pull a trigger, say 'good bye,' "I'm sorry," or
