Shot Timers or No? Metrics and Mediocrity
Shot timers or not? Are they of any real use? We like a good round or three of debate if learning occurs and, of course, if it’s civil.

Own Your Ground: SA, proxemics and personal security
Own your ground. Stay safe, remain dangerous! Be polite and respectful to those you meet but have a plan to kill or evade every one of them. Today will be the last day of our week-long emphasis on How not to be a sheep. We took a break yesterday so we could...
Ordering beer by parachute
This beer commercial is the perfect example of someone who is imperturbable, unflappable and equanimous. Or, in the Mad Duo's vernacular - no fucks were given that day. Grunts: equanimous.
SA: Pay attention or pay the price
We ran this article nearly a year ago, but nothing has changed. Read it, practice it, live it. Mad Duo This is a topic that can't be discussed too much as long as it's improving the skill set of those who need it (which is pretty much anyone that doesn't care to be a...
Mindset: More than Acronyms and Color Codes (Part 2)
Continued from earlier today. Yesterday I introduced my problem with regards to training 2 "gunfighters" who admitted they did not much want to gunfight (see Part 1 if you missed it). I discussed my believe that every person has something that would motivate them to...

In Dogs We Trust
This commercial is incredible. There are several organizations like this in the United States and others (places like Paws & Stripes and others). If you know of a service dog organization worthy of support (whether in the US, the Netherlands, the UK, anywhere)...
Hey Ladies: Practical EDC vs. Frumps & Rucks
You can be a female, be prepared and not look like a dowdy frump (or carrying a ruck). That's what our favorite Themysciran bad ass Kim says. Though it would be nice to be able to walk around with gun and knife and IFAK on display, that's just not practical - and it's...
Are you a soft target?
You can be chary without looking like a dog trying to shit a peach pit. You can teach your family to do the same. Knuckledraggers: chary. ARE you a soft target? Do you conduct and present yourself as a predator or something that eats veggies - something other things...
The Blue Collar OODA Loop
You might not have to fight to the death if you avoid a fight to the death in the first place. Lots of people talk about the OODA loop. Fewer truly understand it. Fewer still can explain it to friends, family and the "everyman." The Blue Collar OODA Loop is something...
