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

@Deleted User What is you cooking setup going to be? alchohol stove, open flame, canister setup?
This is what I use unless its going to be below 0 degrees. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001UEL76Q/ref=asc_df_B001UEL76Q5198964/?tag=hyprod-20&creative=394997&creativeASIN=B001UEL76Q&linkCode=df0&hvadid=167119746601&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=5875188560344401524&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9060150&hvtargid=pla-84153121286
And I use a stainless steel nalagene for water https://store.nalgene.com/product-p/1778-1002.htm I have had camelbaks and USGI 1 quarts in the past, they are fine if you live in a warm enviornent but where i live , my water freezing is a common thing so i like to be able to melt it if that happens on my stove.
Jetboil ftw lads
^^^
At fort drum, my jetboil made the field bearable, love mine. If you run out of fuel, makes for a sad camper though.
@Uilliam I wish I knew more about boots think I'm going to get new pair soon and am looking at Danner boots, heard good things about them
I have a pair and theyβre great and pretty light. But Iβm looking at maybe a less bulky design
Nalgenes are on point
Salomon makes a great hiking boot got me threw a crap ton of miles in the white mountains. And that hiking is rugged.
@Admiral Tolwyn - NH#5491 Bro. White Mountains are no joke right? They turned me back twice in the middle of May because of ice storms
@Brandon Ironside- ND @Mark Vandal Hey lads was just scrolling back through your lessons and wanted to tell you again how impressed I am. The community thanks you.
Sure thing man. Been slacking lately, but I'll try to post some more stuff soon
π I wasn't being passive aggressive I swear lol
@Deleted User Thanks, I'll be posting another one tonight, I know you like your old school gear so this one will be a treat π
I'm taking it way way back
haha i look forward to it
Ha! You weren't kidding @Brandon Ironside- ND
@Deleted User No i wasn't haha. I have been fasicinated with Otzi since i first heard about him. How he died is extremely interesting too. Makes me ponder how much I would really need to survive with, also spurred my interest in making primitve tools. Have you seen the youtube channel "primitive technology" guy has 6 million subscribers here's one you would love being a Celt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BN-34JfUrHY
I love that channel.
You may like this guy. He was required reading when I was a freshman.
Yep haha I read his book back in the day I think it was called Pathfinder, good read.
Is that a beech sapling he's using for the handle?
At about the 3 min mark I'd worry the area around the head would splinter
Ah!
