What Bench Are You Sitting On?
While reading through some of Coach Dan John's work, I came across a philosophy for breaking your annual training cycles. It's impossible to do everything well all of the time- something must give. Instead, we should think of our training, all of our training, from two perspectives: the bus bench, and the park bench.

In the last episode, I mentioned something called the homeostasis problem. It's a way of viewing why big changes in life are so difficult to make. It was going to be a large aside in that article, so much so that I decided it was worth its own post. So here we are: the homeostasis problem.

marksman-live-the-prism-optics-primer
This week I sat down again with Ilya, the Dark Lord of Optics, to answer some lingering questions I've got about prism optics. I wanted to understand how they work relative to traditional rifle scopes, and some of the tradeoffs required when designing them. During the conversation, we also wandered over how rifle scopes work in general, reticle color selection, durability, engineering tradeoffs, and more. I'm also posting the audio-only version of this as well.

DO YO
do-you-really-need-that-a-better-gear
Gear articles are among the most popular on the site, so it shouldn't surprise you that I get a lot of questions about what chest rig to buy, how to set up belts, or whether or not someone really needs a set of plates and night vision. When just starting out, an aspiring prepared citizen is easily overwhelmed by the myriad of choices out there, not to mention the cost of actually acquiring it all.
To many, the simple answer is defaulting to how the military does it. That means dividing up your equipment into first line, second line, third line, and so on. While that makes sense for a military unit who has a primary mission of seeking, fixing, and destroying enemy combatants- it might not actually work for the average citizen just trying to protect their neighborhood during difficult times.

the-importance-of-playing-the-game-in
A phrase I've heard many times over the years, especially in military circles, is, "If you ain't cheating, then you ain't trying."
In this clip, John Simpson talks about why it matters so much to engage in a training event according to the rules. The goal is not just to beat the event, but to take away specific lessons from the event that carry forth into real world situations.
John is a former special operations sniper turned instructor and author. He wrote the Fundamentals of Sniper Marksmanship as well as many other books on the topic.

I'm diving down an optics rabbit hole with my friend Ilya, the Dark Lord of Optics. I've got a theory that the LPVO market is becoming saturated, and a lot of people are carrying around an extra 1-2 lbs of weight on their rifles than they need.
In this discussion, Ilya and I will talk about what makes prism optics different than traditional rifle scopes, the tradeoffs that come from that, and an overview of the current market.

Excerpt from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZVzFRsfT4M
Not everyone has access to encrypted radios to keep communications secure, luckily we've known how to work around that for generations. This is Doc Larsen's introduction to Signal Operating Instructions, or an SOI. Think of it as a way to keep your group's radio communications as secure as possible without encryption.
