I'm sure I don't have to tell some of the die hards around here that are so fed up with what's been going on the last few months with the gubmint, I'm sure they already are out working out, gaining skill at arms but for the rest of us a reminder-
It's INDEPENDENCE DAY, not "the fourth", the day could have happened any day not just the fourth.
Spend a little time today TRAINING.
Not counting your buckets of beans, not looking pridefully at the cases of ammo stacked in the closet you'll never shoot, but TRAINING.
Short of time? Short on money? No place to shoot?
Well you can focus on the PROBLEMS or you can DO SOMETHING- Something maybe like:
*30 minutes of dry fire work for rifle and pistol- include mag changes, shoulder transfers, position changes, basic stuff. COST- nothing. LOCATION- any damn where
*20-30 minutes of dry fire work with other family members- COMMUNICATE with them while doing the above exercises, maintain situational awareness, maybe work on your plan of defense if your stuck in your home. COST- nothing. LOCATIONS-your home.
*30 minutes of Physical training- 2 minutes holding the knuckle pushup position, don't hyperextend the elbows, back straight, breathe, I heard it helps..., leg raises-hold 45 degrees on the legs for 5 minutes, keep the back and butt tight to the floor, slow 10 count body weight squats keep feet flat on floor and back straight 2 minutes, 8 minutes for a mile run and whatever else you want. COST- nothing. LOCATION-any damn where, I'VE DONE MOST OF THESE IN HOSPITAL WAITING ROOMS WHILE WAITING FOR FAMILY MEMBERS TO GET OUT
*15 minutes of map exercise with our without land navigation- bust out those topos you have of your area, orient the map, plot numerous azimuths, triangulate on something, plan on the map a walk from Point A to Point B- what is the azimuth and distance? How long would it take you to get there? Every family member can do this right? COST-nothing. LOCATION-any piece of floor in the house
*15 minutes of medical exercise- got all that cool daddy med gear on your vest? Ever USED any of it? Yeah it's time. Apply a tourniquet to a limb of someone else, then yourself, your yourself one handed. You are maintaining situation awareness right? How about those Israeli dressings? Everyone in the family has applied one of them before right? No? Your waiting for on the job training eh?? Sounds like a great plan.... COST-very little, maybe an old bandage rotated, but since you planned right you bought extra to train with anyways I'm sure. LOCATION- any piece of floor in the house.
If we truly want to survive, we will get out of the CRYBABY attitudes of everything being too costly, not having time or money to do this or that, and WE WILL FIND WAYS TO TRAIN to learn new skills and develop the ones we have.
Happy INDEPENDENCE DAY, exercise your INDEPENDENCE!
