      How many people patrol their property to look for changes?

      Yep. I patrol our 22 acres year round, just to keep my fingers on the pulse of the land woods, fields, stream etc. Check the barn for humans and critters, monitor game trails, check cameras (although they are live feed to my phone. Driveway alarm alerts us when someone is coming down the drive...

He also attributes much of his knowledge to lessons from his father, grandfather...

      For When SHTF, Would You Prefer Soft Body Armor or Hard Body Armor?

      I have both, in several configurations. I wear soft a lot. I have a heavy carrier that has plates, backed by soft, with side coverage as well. I'd say if I HAD to choose one, I'd pick my heavier soft vest with the ceramic trauma plate and call it done.

      Stuck in your vehicle. What you should have.

      I actually got stuck in my vehicle overnight in a snowstorm in middle Tennessee. I was literally returning to Indiana after teaching a weekend wilderness survival class, so my onboard equipment was fairly extensive. "Surviving" the night was simply an exercise in warding off boredom!

      I've heard of it, the 75 Hard. I guess basically thats what I've been doing in some form or another for 40 years. Just making myself hard to kill, every day.

      Dry Fire Training

      I use all three methods. I use my daily carry pistol and snap caps. (I also dryfire and practice reloads with my AK, AR and 870) I use the SIRT gun and have for about 4 years. Combining it with the laptop and software is really a great tool. I use the Mantis for fine tuning and drilling into...

      Becoming an instructor

      Coach makes excellent points. All valid and nearly all obviously can be expanded on. As an instructor I'll weigh in with my opinion and biases. There are a lot of shooters out there who would like to become instructors. They love shooting, they took a class or two, and watch videos. Perhaps...
