This video showcases a 2-day performance off-road driving course at Summit Point Motorsports Park, focusing on skills relevant to SHTF (Shit Hits The Fan) scenarios. The course covers high-speed driving on unimproved roads, navigating challenging terrain and obstacles, vehicle recovery techniques, threshold acceleration and braking, advanced turning, hill climbing/descent, and avoiding rollovers. Led by Gary Melton, a former U.S. Army Special Forces Green Beret and experienced tactical instructor, the training emphasizes practical skills that could be life-saving. Paramount Tactical Solutions, staffed by Special Operations veterans, offers this and other specialized training for military, law enforcement, and civilians.

This video focuses on the principles and techniques of creating traps and snares for small game, emphasizing responsible and ethical practices.

This video from Tier-1 Group focuses on survival during a vehicle rollover, emphasizing that accidents can happen even when pushing limits. The instructor, Chad, explains what to do in such a situation, drawing a parallel to the importance of medical training despite focusing on shooting skills. The video aims to provide essential knowledge that, while hopefully never needed, could be life-saving if a rollover occurs. It's presented as a crucial aspect of driving preparedness, akin to knowing how to handle a gunshot wound.

In close-quarters combat, drawing a pistol can be dangerous as an opponent can easily grab the firearm. A tactical knife offers a safer alternative, allowing the user to create space by targeting vital areas like the carotid artery or kidneys. This space allows for a safe transition back to a firearm. The video demonstrates this strategy using a Glock pistol and a fixed-blade knife.

This video details crucial footwork techniques for Navy SEALs during Close Quarters Combat (CQC). It emphasizes 'economy of motion' and the 'long step' technique for balanced entry into corner-fed rooms, ensuring immediate engagement capability. Proper footwork prevents exposing vulnerable side plates and maintains a stable shooting platform.

This video demonstrates a clever modification of standard military cloth bandoliers to increase their magazine capacity. By releasing a hidden white string, the pockets expand, allowing them to hold one or even two 5.56mm magazines each. Special Forces operators pack these expanded bandoliers with other essentials for rapid emergency resupply in the field.

This ballistic gel test compares 9mm Barnes TAC-XPD and .45 ACP Cor-Bon Pow'RBall. The 9mm achieved deeper penetration (13-14 inches) with consistent expansion, while the .45 ACP created a larger wound cavity and significant energy transfer but slightly less penetration. The Cor-Bon Pow'RBall's design enhances feeding reliability in 1911 platforms.
