Why Some Won’t Make It 

How about this Ambush option: Stop wasting time, money, and energy on SHTF fantasies that will never happen. Stop watching Hollywood movies and shows and thinking this is real life. You and @GruntPtoof are just tactical range “Queens”.

Ya don't know what ya don't know, until you go out and learn what ya don't know.

Salt lake City Utah checking in! All the Ducks and Geese at my Friends apartment complex are gone!! 🤔🤔

- This ambush looks bad for the recipient, and the options range from bad to more bad. - I would try to move to higher ground, and depending on the size and health of my group, determine if we were going to break contact or advance to flank the ambush team. - If our vehicle cargo is too valuable to lose, it may be an option to wait until the ambush team moves in to raid the vehicle(s), then exploit that opportunity. - If I were the ambush team, I would immediately go to higher ground and flank the vehicle team, who may also reaching for higher ground.

A couple of thoughts. Looks like a good spot for a U-shaped ambush since you have elevation to limit hitting other elements. Could drop a tree to stop vehicles. Looks like an old photo of part of the ho chi minh trail.

Most people who watch are in church. I'm like, second comment? Lol, oh, everyone's in church. It's a Sunday. Great topic for discussion, btw. Now I've got another bunch of scenarios to run through my mind as I enter and exit my property. Worth thinking about for sure. One thing to remember is that unless you have an adversary who has any kind of experience, this would be a much less thought-out attack (on the part of the enemy). Probably very chaotic.

Top, it also depends on the number of vehicles in the assault. I’d have an element at the tail end of the roadway to prevent any escape to the rear, along with the L-shaped ambush on the ridge line of the “kill zone”.

You could be like Brave Sir Robin , and run away ; while his squire smacks coconuts together , which were brought across the ocean by African Swallows . Run away , Brave Sir Robin , run away ! ! !

Me? I'm a coward, I'm gonna run like hell, screaming like a little girl, leaving a trail of shit behind me! How's that for brutal honesty?

if it's shtf, WHY would you take the risk of being out and about in daylight? dont make noise and dont use a normal light at night. There are ways to proceed, with the risks of being shot GREATLY reduced. If you've duc a tunnel to hide in and a year's supply of food scatter-buried at your BOL,, you only need to emerge for an hour per night, to access a food bucket and cook a meal. A year after shtf, 99+% of the population will be dead. That will make it a lot safer (at night,) to tend your crops., In another year, (at night) it will be much safer yet to go scrounge whatever you need. For the first few months of shtf, it's going to be suicidal to be up and at em in daylight.

90% of crybabies won't make it. People are salavating over football 🏈

MY CHANNEL GETS INTO STUFF LIKE THIS, DO YOU WANT TO DO A SHOW?

Great vid!! How about some urban SHTF content? Ambushes in urban settings etc. Moving through populated areas etc.

There are probably a million places to be ambushed out there. Its kind of luck of the drawl?

It has taken me a while to understand that most other people don't think like us. For some it's hardwired in, always looking for ways to get off the X, what is plan b,c,d,e. I hope this hits home for at least one person who needs to hear it.

Smoke device? Not just for gender reveals🎉

if shtf, you can't use roads, even on foot, and you can't use 4 wheeled vehicles. If you're properly prepped you dont need to do either one. If your food and most gear is already buried at your BOL, which is in the woods near your local water source, you can just walk beside a laden mountain bicycle, towing a bike trailer and get to your BOL, at night, in 1-2 nights. with pre buried, empty 20 gallon drums in place, you can quickly protect and hide what you brought with you. with an empty hole on a hillside, with a drain/slit and a pile of brush over it, you can take apart the bike and trailer and hide them very well. You'll probably need them in a couple of years, so having cosmoline on the metal parts and plastic sheeting over them is a good idea. So is having treated log-splits buried in the area, for use as shoring. That will speed-up your tunneling and make it much less noisy. A couple of L shaped milsurp flashlights, with red lenses and an # of 1/8" wide black tape on the lense enables you to barely see where you're walking. If you keep such a light pointed at the ground, it wont be noticed at 100m in brush, or 1/4 mile in the open. You only need 1 ft of dirt over your tunnel, so it can never collapse and smother you and you can always just dig UP and out. Nobody's going to be so suicidal as to enter your tunnel, man. I"d dig the tunnel from both ends, starting in spiderholes that you already have created.. Then you can swiftly get out of sight/protected once you're at your BOL. this idea of walking around in daylight is stupid and traveling by car is even dumber. all it takes to stop cars is 1" thick wood and 3" long nails, which anyone can pull out of any wooden structure. You wont be going far or fast on 4 flat tires. So they will just follow you and dummy you, you wont have the gear or knowledge to move out or survive with just what you can carry.

Idea: maybe pre-dig and fortify areas like that, especially vital routes. It may sound like overkill, but people will have nothing to do but attempt to get you and yours. ALWAYS.. be able to pop smoke. You can disguise and overwhelm the enemy especially, if they don’t know how many are you and which way ya’ll went. God Bless.

Hey Stoker did you get another dog I must have missed a few videos What would I do pop some smoke drop down from the road just enough to stay out of sight don’t go to the bottom and move like hell in reverse.

👍

Being alone in a contested environment driving in an unarmored vehicle and your story won't last long.

In this scenario, assuming I wasn't killed outright or seriously wounded (a very lucky assumption) I'd opt for "d", getting the hell out of Dodge by going up the hill and retreating.

Its all about knowledge of your environment,... your village, town....and its surrounding area.

If you have a recon element, use it. Max fire power gets you out of ambush. Being smart keeps from getting ambush. Large enough element, bounding overwatch

I would think if the SHTF, the last thing would be worrying about is ambushing someone and concentration on looking out for my family and defending the home stead in a defensive op. There are too many guns in America for a Red Dawn situation. Japan didn't invade us during WW2 for that reason.

That straight away is the ultimate kill zone. The more vehicles the better! Stop the first and last and it's a day at the carnival. The lower ditch gully is the only squirt out option but a large team would have a third element based to intercept any squirters. I'd hate to be on that road. As the Indian's used to say, "today is a good day to die".

Stoke are you guys ok up there ? We’ve had a nasty weather , flooding etc in southeast states ..if you guys need help please let us all know brother ..God bless

Make a ballistic shield. Make a large bullet-proof shield, hold on one arm and gun in other, advance with shield and gun while firing accurately from the safety behind your shield. Make a small notch on the side of the shield where you fire for your gun or rifle to rest and give you more protection. I know I made a word salad, but I've thought of these scenarios many times, and I expect to fight with gun and shield.

Pts of things, didu see 1 or 10x, there are and will always b ambushes, if u live in fear it will b you,, u always take chances and mke choices some is quick some u have no time.. a

In the end. Its all. Call it what you want. No onee knows what one will do. When this or that may or may not happen. Its all guess work. Yes training will give one an advantage but thats all it is. On a side note hows the pup coming alomg. Keep on keepen on

Add three options are a ss my opinion would be to and the option that I would choose would be to try to escape by jumping down in the golly in running away

Hondo the dog is the coolest! 🤙 thank you Brother for important lesson.

“Cause they were free-ranging’! That’s why!”😂

scan with thermal scope. stay hidden .

Always making you think keep it up sir

Stay safe Security is expensive.

Good vid Stoke!

How did you fare in the storm?

Thank you

Downhill for Speed I think up hill would be slower, and you would be more of a sitting Target per say

I'm a veteran of both Gulf wars, 1990 and 2004. I pay attention to that stuff all the time.

Are you carrying during this vidio.. have a truck gun and gear Grunt?

I’m toast without improvement. Thank you for what you do with your info and time. LiveRightToday
