I want to work on expanding my food preps out longer and get them better organized. What is one or more preps for 2021 that is in the works? This could be a good subject for a show as well. - Andrew

Hey everybody! Hope everybody is doing well. I understand ammo is pretty short right now and the stuff you have you probably do not want to shoot, but when you do get to the range what are you working on? Working on fundamentals, drawing, movement, transitions? Basically, how are you utilizing your ammo that you do shoot? -Andrew

Hey everybody, so what are peoples thoughts on November? How are you adjusting your preps for a possible disturbance? I am subscribed to Forward Observer and it is interesting reading what is going on. I don't think things will get too nuts (I'm hoping anyway) but we preppar for the bad and hope for the good. -Andrew

Good afternoon everyone! I just recently found this podcast and have greatly enjoyed what I have heard so far. I wanted to run a possible topic by all parties to see if folks would be interested in lessons in IT Security? As all of you know there are certain bug-in situations that may be more suitable for certain threat environments. Communication is key for any survival situation, nevertheless, when we depend so much on communication via our computer systems, understanding how to keep Secure lines of communication is a must for bug-in survival in extreme state of affairs. Also, the ability to hide information that is stored is a great tool as well. If there is interest, I would be happy to create a multi-part article covering certain topics as well as possible video conference calls to provide real-time feedback. Thanks for your time! Josh

On the podcast with Mrs. Matter of Facts, you mentioned that you should connect her with another podcast, which she seemed to already be familiar with who you were speaking about. I'm always looking for good podcasts for my commute. Care to share the name of the podcast? Thanks for the great podcast. Mike.

I have a few PSA AR 15s. I think they all function great. I want to get a few more ARs for my family. I’ve had people tell me that PSA sucks. What do you guys think? What are some good budget AR 15s? I also have a bushmaster and can’t tell the difference other than the bushmaster has a chrome lined barrel. I’m trying to budget them as we plan to get a few form 4 and form 1 suppressors.

When I think preparedness, I tend to think about food, water, ammo, gas. Anything to get me by in a power outage or anything worse. I am always working on everything, trying to increase by a box or case of ammo, grabbing extra cans or some mountain house meals. What are some ways you have found to better prepare? What are some tips to help others get their stocks up. Is it buying 4 cans instead of 2? or saving up and buying a whole flat of different kinds of food? -Andrew

I am not the best shot, I am better than average but still need to work on it. I got to get out and shoot my pistol this past weekend and really realized what I need to work on. I consistently shoot to the left. After slowing down and really focusing on my grip, sights and trigger pull I realized that when I try to speed up I tend to put to much finger on the trigger, causing me to push my pistol to the left more when shooting. My pistol is a M&P 9 4.25". I recently got a new belt set up and was running some reloading drills with a shot timer app. The app is a great alternative until I manage to pick up a regular shot timer, but it adds some stress and it really helps you identify my flaws. Normally at the range I'll stand there and practice my draw but it's in a controlled setting, my shots were not bad. It wasn't until I added the stress of the shot timer that I stepped out of being in control and let the beep dictate when I would draw. Take away..... More dry fire practice, lots more. Followed with more lead going down range. What are some things you try to work on when going to the range? What are some flaws that you have found you have that are trying to work on? What gear do you use when you go, just a holster, full plate carrier and battle belt set up? -Andrew

This is a good source for some deals. I have found a couple pistols off of it guns.deals.com - Andrew
