After church this morning I was able to sit outside and read my Bible for an hour or so.
Its been raining continually this past week or two. I've missed my outside time with the Lord.
This is the video Grok Imagine created from a still photo of a duck hunting trip.
In the first half, attorney Sean Maloney from Second Call Defense joins me to explain the lessons gun owners can learn from what happened to Kyle Rittenhouse.
In the second half, I discuss a home invasion case from Oceanside California in which the homeowner successfully defended himself.
Had my annual physical today. The doc told me my BMI says I’m obese. I’m just not seeing it. I thought I was in pretty good shape for a 67-year-old dude. I guess the computer didn’t like the 230 pounds at 6'2". It says I should weigh 185. Can you imagine?
I don't know. I guess I have about 5 lbs of belly I should lose - but, obese? Are you kidding me?
How to Pack a Rucksack.
Aug 26, 2011
One Shepherd's 9-minute training video "How to Pack a Rucksack" employs the USGI Medium ALICE.
The specific focus of this training is for combat patrols in environments other than mountain warfare. Mountain warfare includes climbing and rappelling tasks that necessitate a weight distribution of placing the heaviest items closer to the center of gravity -- the spine.
That exception aside, the majority of combat environments demand a weight distribution of heaviest items placed as close to the shoulder blades as possible, and balanced left to right. Furthermore, notice that items of immediate need are intentionally placed in the outside pockets, flaps, or added onto either side of the rucksack where they can be accessed readily.
This training video makes recommendations. Your unit will, of course, develop its own Standard Operating Procedure.
