Train Like a Samurai: Ten Arrows
Practice doesn't make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect. Imperfect practice makes rehearsed. You've heard a lot of advice on different training philosophies - ways to maximize the results you achieve. The fact is, desultory training (grunts: desultory) is a...
OSS Cans – Operator Suppressor Systems
No baffles. 29 patents. A turbine engine in reverese. OSS Mission (Operators Suppressor Systems Mission) bills itself as the source "true next gen weapon suppression." Damned if they may not be right, and we found out pretty much by accident. Frankly we were...
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.

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...
