Guys fuck MREs and fancy stuff. Take the hard tack pill

Also just fwi this guy left out salt, you need the salt

Actually that video sucks. You're suppose to bake hard tack for hours.

Better version

Though his are kind if thick compared to the civil war stuff

I have some hard tack I made around three years ago that is still good

Well, based on some of the footage so far, what is some stuff you guys have gathered from the shooting, and what would you have done differently in the crowd? I'd bet money that guy was using a bumpfire stock from the sounds of it, might want to buy one now before they're illegal.

I'm no expert but I have seen guys that claim the fire was too rapid and to consistent to be a bump fire stock. What do you think?

https://youtu.be/LuAeZpLCJ_E just depends on practice really.

You can get a full auto ak, but it's about 15-20k$ or buying full auto parts, which puts you on watch usually. Basically if you buy full auto/sbr/sbs/DD parts, and own the corresponding gun, they arrest you for intent.

Not to mention if he was stationary (in a hotel room) using a bipod, it's even easier to do sustained fire.

Anybody here in the Midwest? I would like to establish a survival retreat and confidence building courses.

@jaybird1 Yes, Im in north dakota, sounds like a great idea! What would the class curriculum look like? Basic bushcraft I can make an educated guess but im more interested in what you have in mind for the confidence building?

@Brandon Ironside- ND My first question is, how many acres do you have available? I'm thinking a 3 acre obstacle course, like basic was. Second, long range (300 yards) firing range. Third, 10 acres for foraging, shelter building, primitive fire and medicinal plants identity. The course would be 3 weeks...

I have acess to 1200 acres of farm land(though not all one piece) the main piece that is ideal would be about 300 acres, If we did somehting like this it would have to be during the winter when there isnt farmers out and about. I also have some 3 12" steel gongs that could be used for long range shooting.

I dont think I could get 3 weeks off, I think cramming as much as possible into a weekened would be ideal.

And I dont have land we could permantly alter for an obstacle course, doing bushcraft stuff, and long range shooting is all i could handle there.

Wow, 300 acres would be plenty. If we cant alter the terrain then we would focus on strength training and running. Your land would be perfect. I'm thinking 30 push ups in less than 2 mins, run 2 miles in less than 13 mins. After that, we would move onto long range shooting.

Honestly, there is no way to condense to a weekend. At a minimum 2 weeks.

This group will be the elite of IE

@jaybird1 I would love to do that in NY area

The only way to condense it would be to recruit people already physically in shape

This group would be the strongest, focused, and most trained group in IE

I'm sure if Eli put out a memo that we are looking to establish a elite group people would apply. We need to make it clear it is a 3 week course that aims at establishing a elite group.

This is a pretty big goal, and an exciting one I would like to see happen however I think your next step is determine if leadership is actually interested in making this happen. If not getting a group of volunteers together for a weekened might be a starting point too.

Unfortuanatly IE is not super well funded at this point also so paying for this all is something to consider

It's a big goal, but even Nathan talked about modeling after generation identitiare. We need to physically train and establish true fighters. The cost would be on the applicants at $200 a week. They will have to purchase their own 30-6 rifle, bring 200 rounds of bullets, and all necessary items (tent, food, etc). I'm telling you, people will join, they will apply.

I guarantee if Eli put out a memo that we are trying to establish an elite group of fighters we would be flooded with applicants.

Its possible, I have zero pull with him, if you can make any progress on it keep us informed.

Haha... I have zero pull as well. If nothing else we can recruit within this group. The only thing I can offer IE is my military training. I'm 38 years old, I'm limited on what I can do.

@Brandon Ironside- ND , if nothing else you and I can set up a sniper division

I agree our young men should be trained in bushcraft skills, marksmenship, physically fit, etc and your military expierence is valuable with that, but for now I think most of that type of training is going to happen through voluneeters and setting up stuff on the local level, IE is under 2 years old and most of the funding is going toward building infastructure of the orginization and activism.

I will speak with my state coordinator. I know he has the ear of Eli...

I will be in touch with you

👍🏼

Can anyone recommend a good canteen/mess kit for a go bag?

I'd just check in any military surplus store

You're bound to find something good
