Nick Betts is back! He joins us to after action our Anzac Day celebrations in Sydney this past week. We discuss how travel gives you perspective and can make you more patriotic as an American and how some traditions are there to preserve history and teach lessons.  Its always a pleasure to have one of the hardest working creatives back on the cast. "Its like therapy at this point". Links: https://www.instagram.com/n_betts/ https://www.instagram.com/krupto_strategic/
This week we are joined by Brian Cook and Clark Curnutt from BC Precision Ballistics. They are the minds behinds the new 6MM Max cartridge, and if you're not familiar with it you've been living under a 6mm Arc rock. We cover everything from initial ideation to velocity testing and all the different payload options in between (Yes it defeats armor).  We get schooled on what it takes to develop a cartridge that just may well dethrone 60+ years of NATO standards. This one is for the nerds. Links: https://www.instagram.com/bcpb6mmmax/https://bcprecisionballistics.com/ 
Kate Mclaren joins us for the first time for the second time. A little life update and some patreon Q&A. From Governmental oversight to how she got into martial arts. Join us this episode to meet Brians other half. 
When we discovered she was interrogating Taliban  at an undisclosed location, we had to have her back on the cast. From second helpings of Naked & Afraid to her extensive journey with psychedelics as a healing medium, no punches were pulled on this one. Ladies and Gentlemen, Kerra Bennett is back!  Previous Episode #49Insta: https://www.instagram.com/k.err.a/
What happens when you bring a pink Ruger topped with a Holosun to the gun range? A Weapons Free Wednesday rant is what you get. Range day update, plus our initial thoughts on Tyson Vs Paul on this episode. 
When a random Instagram DM turns into a great podcast episode. This week we are privileged to have IDF combat veteran Doron Keidar on the show. He gives us a a first hand glimpse into the current conflict in Palestine, from evolved tactics to how to mentally prepare for prolonged war in your backyard. Keep an open mind and accept the reality of the situation that people like Doron face everyday.   
Kato & I chop up some questions from our patrons. When was the last time you almost died? When was the last time you changed a belief or opinion on something? What "Cool Guy" goals have you got? Plus a wee rant somewhere in between.    
The second installment of our podcast with "Long Range Jesus".  Part 2 goes into the nerdiest aspects of ballistics. From how BC SD will ruin your hit probability to the best "affordable rifles" to get hits at distance. Todd gives us a glimpse into the hard science that makes up ballistics "black magic". Links: https://www.accuracy1st.com/ 
On this episode we answer Patreon and Instagram questions. Topics include realistic prepping, US politics and a couple rants. Tune in. 
So imagine if every global Tier 1 Special Operations unit all shared the same textbook for long range shooting. Now imagine having to sign non disclosure agreements to even read some of the pages in said textbook. It would be safe to reason said textbook is an extremely valuable body of work. Well it is an absolute honor to have Todd Hodnett,  the author of said textbook, on our podcast for the next two episodes. I always love catching up with the godfather of the "christmas tree reticle" .Part 1 covers how he came to rewrite and instruct the worlds premiere sniper schoolhouses and the origins of the Horus / Tremor Reticles. Part 2 will cover the nerdiest aspects of long range shooting, from new cartridges to bullet and optic selection.  Links: https://www.accuracy1st.com/     
The Retro Craze has taken the world by storm. From carry handles to 80s shoulder pads. What is cool and what isn't cool? As adults why do we want the things we couldn't have as a child? This, and a rant on the  absolute hypocrisy that our government is up to this week. 
Our first guest of the year is Todd Fairbairn, founder and CEO of OTTE Gear. Todd and I go way back on the Shot Show history this episode. From designing 800 dollar jackets that nobody could afford to becoming the premiere tactical clothing choice of Post Malone. Tune in to gain a glimpse into the niche world of tactical clothing.  Links:https://ottegear.com/   
First episode of 2024 is here! Kato and I chop up the shit show that was 2023 and do a little After Action Report on Shot Show 2024. What was cool, what was innovative and how you should never meet your heroes, unless its Ambrosia Terrebonne or Mike Pappas. 11/10 would recommend stopping them to say hi. Time to get after 2024. 
Happy Thanksgiving to you magnificent bastards. I discuss what and who I am thankful for this year and go over the early days of low light force on force principles developed from the surefire institute, and what those techniques have turned into today. Just a wee little rant.  
Small dissection of the reality on the ground in Gaza. There is no appropriate and equal use of force in war,  war-fighting is war-fighting. CAT suppressors coming onto the market and shaking things up. ATF hates grown up paintball. 
Recently retired Special Forces "Heathen" Bryan Pickens joins us this week. With near two decades of combat experience, Bryan shares with us his journey, from advising Ukrainian SOF to building insane hotrods for select clientele and all the strip club reviews in between. This episode is definitely one for the men.  Links: https://www.gasandgarters.com/ https://www.instagram.com/gasandgartersofficial/?hl=en 
It is almost the end of the year, have you accomplished your goals that you had set out?  Here is the reminder episode that the world has gone off the rails and the fear is the mind killer. It will creep into every thought, decision and action. Don't let it.   
Michael Parris is known in certain circles as a certified "Mad Genius".  From cutting up cool whip containers as a kid to create snowboard bindings before snowboarding was a thing, to developing rover tech and early AI as a subcontractor to NASA. The man behind Igneous Custom Skis & Snowboards definitely lives up to the moniker. How does one go from being a NASA fabricator to making the worlds best skis & snowboards for your close friends in Wyoming? Join us to find out.  Links:https://www.instagram.com/igneous_factory/https://www.igneousskis.com/ 
Sometimes life blows up in your face... or rapes you without lube... That happened recently so here is an update on things and how i had to change my mental outlook to cope with it.  Fail Harder, Return Stronger. 
"I don't feel that I am a living piece of history, I participated in it, but I don't think I was a living piece of it...that means you made history, I was just a part of it." - Stu Barclay. From flying 500 knots at 50 ft over Laos to aiding in the evacuation of Saigon as a flight deck officer. We are honored to have Mr. Barclay share his story with us. Its a wild one.
