    With the shortage of ammo and other issues I’ve been researching and learning more and more. I could not find nor think of a better spot. But let’s see what cool info you’ve acquired!

    If one isn’t working on actual range time, it would be prudent to work on drawstrokes, tactics, room clearing, low light, movement, team movement, family preparedness, vehicle preparedness, emergency evacuation drills, logistics, food storage, food prep, secondary cooking source, water storage and disinfection, physical fitness, two-way communications...

    Gardening on a large scale. Also have found one of the laser trainers to really help, have noticed faster draw time, improved shots on target time, and better trigger control.

    BJJ, but I started that shortly before the ammo/pandemic issues.
    I did it for about a year and a half, and then fell off due to job changes. I have been in contact with a local gym to stop by this week. It’s a very different kind of cardio than running or HIIT.

    As stated above, fitness (if you aren't in shape currently), bushcraft and wilderness survival skills, land navigation, medical training, HAM radio and or comms (both equipment and training), H2H combat training of some sort, etc etc. There is MUCH to learn, forever!

    Researching these skills is fine, but get out and practice them. Those videos don't show you the trial and error phase of bushcraft. It's a frustrating doozy of a multiple fail process.

    This is soooo true. All the skills are “need to practice,” but bushcraft/survival skills are equally as perishable. You don’t know how to make a good shelter until you’ve made a few...
