I did a course that cost $700 from a guy that used to work for the Diplomatic Security Service. This is some stuff that he covered and I don't know how much these guys paid but this info's pure gold.
This the most accurate and reasonable way to shoot around vehicles. Lots of classes shoot in and around them but none go over the lack or protection they provide. Also good to see an instructor teach target up,target down method. Follow the threat until it isnt.
Dan Trebune Which is as likely to happen as winning the power ball and mega millions in the same week! Only an idiot wastes time preparing for something that is never going to happen. This is the wealthy are reading the WSJ while hourly workers are wasting their time and money on this nonsense.
I always forget how much just common knowledge gives you an advantage is so many different situations. Hearing him explain what’s inside of a vehicle made me realize how little people know about the world around them. I can’t believe Mikey’s giving us this shit for free. Mike, if you read this, please consider doing couples or family courses. My wife shrugs me off when I try but I know for a fact she’d retain the info that way. I’m willing to bet every guy that comes through your courses has a wife at home that’s the same
@King James I've served with the British Forces and have a wife that's served with the R.A.F. We listen to each other in regards to survival. More importantly we trust each others skill sets and experience.
I had my wife go through the same pistol and rifle courses I did with an instructor from 7th group. I moved on from those beginning classes but I wanted to make sure she had a base.
Would have been nice to see one live run but nonetheless this was great. One thing i learned that i had never heard before was never give up your feet in a gun fight. Key take away
I love how Mike uses real life situations and applies them to everyday scenarios efficiently. He doesn't stray off and does a great job keeping students engaged. Thanks for another great video Sir!
Retired Marine Force Recon, man brother this is some outstanding training. I love it you open my mind to so so many absolutely great tactics. This is definitely some high speed low drag training thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. God bless God speed and Semper Fi.
Is there a part 2? Fantastic video. Unfortunately, kevlar lined doors in patrol cars are few and far in between. I had to take classes outside of my agency training to learn these lessons. We are trained that the patrol car is your life line. But as one old timer told me 20yrs ago and Mike touched on it, why get in a gun fight when you can just run him over with a 2 ton missile.
When I was the deputy director of a gov sponsored force on force training facility I was chastised by LE for preaching the same things, especially the skip and penetration topics. I’m glad to see the information being excepted. Another great video Mike and I wish you were around the circuit back in 2002. Will-
I’m blown away that I am allowed to be taught this material! I’m so thankful to be able to protect myself and more importantly, others. This knowledge leads to confidence, which allows me to take control and effectively protect. Thanks Mike and this channel for releasing this to us!
That's the 'better than nothing' response. And you'll often see LE in the V of the open door and the A pillar. Better than nothing, but agreed, there has to be the second part of that training: better than nothing, but not good enough' emphasis.
@@durgan5668 yeah, that's something I never heard or just didn't quite understand maybe. I always knew cars were shitty cover except for a couple small parts, I suppose I should have made the connection to try and get away as soon as possible on my own but never did
Another great knowledge bomb Mike, thanks for sharing! You're right regarding the (steel)rims, during a similar course, I've tested it with my 7.62 x39 from 30 meters and it went through like it was butter. These were steel core rounds. Mike, keep up the good work!
He literally tells you what to do and teaches this info for free with this videos. He gives you a great canvass to paint on but you have to perfect the art. Thanks again great vids
In paintball, knowing a particular opponent, I might make a certain move knowing how they will react to it. But what if I knew the other team knew that I knew...now things get interesting. High stakes, high speed poker. We also learned the importance for mobility, of staying on your feet. For carbine, I think "rice paddy prone" is the most useful field position. And if facing multiple opponents, who will be trying to flank and get angles on you, your job may be to change a flanking "T" in to an inline "I"...but your opponents may know that, too....again, high stake, high speed poker. When targets are shooting back, things get way different. While I have lots of experience with incoming gelatin encapsulated paint, I gather Mike has lots of experience with incoming copper encapsulated lead.
Play paintball for 20 years see a lot of similarities on tactics and strategies. The use of Extreme angles high-speed movement and also spider walks cannot lose your feet. But when it comes down to it extreme accuracy is the name of the game.
Been awhile since I played paintball...the biggest difference I see is ammo. Huge ammo capacity allows more sustained fire substantially affects reality of the fight.
@@ryanday9737 Moreover is compressed time of a paintball match. Key lesson of paintball is optimal use of cover by being fully ambidextrous, which is the theme of my channel.
To be honest I don’t feel like I’m ever going to need this information but I’m glad I found someone who has such a massive knowledge base and is a fantastic communicator.
Thanks to Mike and the Fieldcraft crew! Any chance you could do some video training on how find water sources in a survival situation? Especially in desert and mountainous terrain. Thanks again for all the useful content!
Esoteric Fitness I watched that one today. Shawn has a beautiful property. Love Vigilance Elite! But I’m looking for tips on finding water where it’s less abundant. :)
I'm jealous of Shawn Ryan's setup. I could maybe get rain collection systems, but no abundant good water sources in my area. Small drainage ravines at best.
My old wilderness guide was look for birds. If they are flying in a straight line they are probably coming from water. If they are flying in curves or waves they are probably looking for water.
Thank you so much for sharing this kind of material. Very useful. I am an American living in South America and the odds of an encounter such as this is at least tem times more likely than in US streets. Thank you sincerely. And thank you for your service.
I am glad you are posting this information for free. This video is a great recruiting tool for your in-person classes where you can get a hands-on lesson.
Very good info to remind people what and how to handle a task. Lessons taught 40 years ago in LEO Academy's have changed after incidents like the Miami Shootout and the LA Bank Robbery. Don't let yourself be underguned or believing concealment is cover. In the old days a USPO mailbox was good as it was steel. A tree may not be able to stop an AK round and zip right through. Learn the difference between Cover and Concealment.
Learned something new today, this was colossally very detailed and gave me a new perspective on how to shoot and move. Awesome vid! Definitely need to take one of his classes.
Mike G provides some of the best and most comprehensive training that is available to LE and CIV personnel. I have trained with him and his team and they are exceedingly professional, safe and free of acrobatic bullshit on the range.
@@michaelkusjanovic9954 I'm in the same boat, and slowly doing so. But it's a very valid point, Michael. To be effective, you can't be wheezing 30 seconds into an event. My wake up call was when I was trying to outrace a wildfire with buckets of water before it made it to the brush at the edge of property. Yes, I did it, but honestly, I was ready to just become bbq and let it be someone else's problem there at the end. I did buy 100 more feet of hose, but yeah, this gut has to go.
@@michaelkusjanovic9954 Working the problem, I'll get 'er done. Jeep is in the shop, having an upgraded bumper and winch put on, as well as general maintenance. When I need it, I want it to be able to perform to be able to protect the family. Trying to catch up on stuff I should have done 5 years ago, in 5 weeks. "Better late than never" wasn't exactly what I was striving for, but it is, what it is.
How's the gut, Jeremy? Some unsolicited advice...take a class anyway...you're gonna be motivated by how much fun it is, how useful it could be and how much better off you and those in your charge to protect and provide are if you step up and own your responsibility. Sign up, Jeremy, get up, get going, stop waiting...there is nothing to wait for...youre wasting time waiting. Get up! You can do this!
During this shutdown do you think you might do a Q&A podcast ? Myself and a couple other snipers I work with would love to see some long gun videos like using loopholes etc. But love the content hope to see more soon.
Excellent! Just excellent, well done, great lecture and on point. I'm glad to see a prime vendor putting this information out. There's a lot of folks putting out some bad dope on the use of vehicles and the tactics surrounding them.
First thing first is your videos are amazing! Great information and tips as well as tactics. Really enjoy your stuff Mike and that interview with Shawn was totally badass. Definitely a humble person. But any way or any reason their are no videos on smith & wesson 2.0??
Thats some good advice. Especially the part when he said "dont give up your feet" thats the problem with most officers. They dont know how to swat or crouch with two feet still rooted into the ground. They are always crouching or swating with one knee and thats a big no.no. #cqbsalsa 🤣
Cameraman is straight up struggling breathing lol. Probably cant tell without earbuds but I was like "damn, am I out of breath?" Had to pause for a minute and make sure I wasnt breathing that loud lol.
Great stuff. Biggest take away is don’t hug your cover; especially when using a vehicle. This I can attest to. And great job getting this class to buy ALL the swag you guys sell online Hahahahahahaha!
