Commando Crow: 00:00:00

Pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America.

Commando Crow: 00:00:05

Republic for which it stands.

Commando Crow: 00:00:06

One nation under God.

Commando Crow: 00:00:10

Good morning, fellow Americans.

Commando Crow: 00:00:12

And welcome to the third episode of the season.

and the Constitution of the United States.

Commando Crow: 00:00:34

I'm your host Chris Williams, my brother Patrick Williams's co host,

Commando Crow: 00:00:38

and we are the Constitution Commandos.

Commando Crow: 00:00:40

All American Commando: I'm going to jump into the another part of security

Commando Crow: 00:00:45

that is obviously not for everybody but

Commando Crow: 00:00:50

still on personal dwelling.

Commando Crow: 00:00:52

All American Commando: Yeah, and but this is so important for being

Commando Crow: 00:00:59

able to communicate a plan of action with the people in your home.

Commando Crow: 00:01:03

And this is, in my opinion, the easiest way to defend and preserve

Commando Crow: 00:01:10

life is the second amendment.

Commando Crow: 00:01:14

And if anybody wants to tell you the second amendment is for hunting,

Commando Crow: 00:01:19

stop listening to their opinions.

Commando Crow: 00:01:22

The second amendment is to defend yourself and your property.

Commando Crow: 00:01:27

Point blank, that's doesn't matter who you're defending yourself against.

Commando Crow: 00:01:31

That is the 2nd amendment is to defend yourself and your property.

Commando Crow: 00:01:36

Let me says I've been here because I have heard this in

Commando Crow: 00:01:39

questioning of Marjorie Taylor green.

Commando Crow: 00:01:42

The 2nd amendment was not there for the people to overthrow the government.

Commando Crow: 00:01:47

That was not the purpose.

Commando Crow: 00:01:49

However, in case the government gets too big, it is there for that purpose.

Commando Crow: 00:01:55

But that was not the reason for it.

Commando Crow: 00:01:57

The reason for it was If this country had to go to war against another

Commando Crow: 00:02:02

country, the government would call on its citizens would come armed to the teeth.

Commando Crow: 00:02:08

That's what it's there for.

Commando Crow: 00:02:09

Just so we're clear on that Second Amendment thing.

Commando Crow: 00:02:13

Go ahead.

Commando Crow: 00:02:15

All American Commando: Yeah, but when we talk about firearms in a defense

Commando Crow: 00:02:20

situation, if you go buy a firearm, having the firearm is absolutely useless

Commando Crow: 00:02:27

if you don't go spend time at the range.

Commando Crow: 00:02:30

You have got to get to the range.

Commando Crow: 00:02:33

You have got to train with that weapon.

Commando Crow: 00:02:35

That weapon is useless.

Commando Crow: 00:02:38

If you do not know how to properly holster it, to clear it, to put it on

Commando Crow: 00:02:43

safe, to take it out of the holster, to charge it, the proper storage and use.

Commando Crow: 00:02:50

Yep.

Commando Crow: 00:02:52

Firearm safety.

Commando Crow: 00:02:54

I don't care what anybody says.

Commando Crow: 00:02:56

The first and most important thing that you do with a firearm, any

Commando Crow: 00:03:00

responsible gun owner, is firearm safety.

Commando Crow: 00:03:05

And I don't know how they do it in the military,

Commando Crow: 00:03:08

except for what we got in the Navy.

Commando Crow: 00:03:09

And believe me, we push buttons, we don't pull triggers unless you're

Commando Crow: 00:03:13

in the SEALs or SeaBees . But, as far as firearm safety, it was keep

Commando Crow: 00:03:17

your weapon pointed downrange.

Commando Crow: 00:03:19

That's pretty much it.

Commando Crow: 00:03:21

Now growing up, firearm safety meant we were shown a firearm.

Commando Crow: 00:03:26

An empty one.

Commando Crow: 00:03:28

And we were taught how to hold it, where to and not to point

Commando Crow: 00:03:33

it, how to load it, and that was before we ever saw the ammunition.

Commando Crow: 00:03:38

And so firearm safety is probably more critical than the use of the firearm.

Commando Crow: 00:03:42

So I want to throw that in there because firearm safety is absolutely critical.

Commando Crow: 00:03:48

All American Commando: Yeah, because there, there are no bad guns.

Commando Crow: 00:03:50

No, there are poor operators.

Commando Crow: 00:03:54

If you do not understand firearm safety and you have an accidental discharge, or

Commando Crow: 00:03:59

you don't understand trigger discipline and you shoot somebody in your family or

Commando Crow: 00:04:03

in a house, That is not the gun's problem.

Commando Crow: 00:04:07

That is your problem.

Commando Crow: 00:04:08

So that's not to say that some very experienced gun

Commando Crow: 00:04:11

owners haven't had things happen.

Commando Crow: 00:04:14

And they do happen.

Commando Crow: 00:04:15

We're people.

Commando Crow: 00:04:16

We make mistakes.

Commando Crow: 00:04:18

But the more you know firearm safety, the fewer mistakes you can plan on having.

Commando Crow: 00:04:24

All American Commando: That firearm should be an extension of your body.

Commando Crow: 00:04:27

You should not have to think a fraction of a second how to properly

Commando Crow: 00:04:31

deploy and use that firearm.

Commando Crow: 00:04:34

It should be muscle memory.

Commando Crow: 00:04:37

Yep.

Commando Crow: 00:04:37

So if you get a firearm, and I will say, everybody will look at this differently.

Commando Crow: 00:04:46

My personal opinion, a pistol is not the greatest thing for

Commando Crow: 00:04:53

personal defense in a home.

Commando Crow: 00:04:55

To me, a pistol is one of the hardest weapons to utilize,

Commando Crow: 00:05:01

deploy, and to hit targets.

Commando Crow: 00:05:03

Now, if you choose to have a pistol for your personal defense, now, sure, if

Commando Crow: 00:05:08

you're in your vehicle, you're going out roaming town, a pistol mandatory.

Commando Crow: 00:05:13

Yeah.

Commando Crow: 00:05:13

But if you choose, and I understand not everybody's just rolling in cash,

Commando Crow: 00:05:19

especially in today's economic time.

Commando Crow: 00:05:22

If a pistol is the first thing that you can afford, Then when

Commando Crow: 00:05:27

you buy your pistol, then you need to find a firearms instructor.

Commando Crow: 00:05:33

I could give two shits about concealed carry.

Commando Crow: 00:05:36

I could give two shits about any of that crap until you know how to use.

Commando Crow: 00:05:44

Weapon.

Commando Crow: 00:05:45

Weapon.

Commando Crow: 00:05:45

And if you find somebody to teach you how to use a pistol and they

Commando Crow: 00:05:50

do not teach you firearm safety, you find you another instructor.

Commando Crow: 00:05:58

And I will say this just to add in, and maybe it's

Commando Crow: 00:06:02

because I'm a little bit partial, the firearms instructors that I have.

Commando Crow: 00:06:07

Met or have known to be firearms instructors, I would probably

Commando Crow: 00:06:13

trust them before just anybody that claims to be a firearms instructor.

Commando Crow: 00:06:18

But I would find somebody's prior service press, preferably somebody, special teams.

Commando Crow: 00:06:24

And there's a reason why I recommend that, not just because I'm biased, 'cause

Commando Crow: 00:06:27

I'm a veteran, but there's a reason I recommend them to be firearms instructors.

Commando Crow: 00:06:34

Those guys go full blown, they go high speed, live fire.

Commando Crow: 00:06:40

And they managed to not kill each other, and they're very

Commando Crow: 00:06:44

trying to do that as well.

Commando Crow: 00:06:46

Oh, absolutely.

Commando Crow: 00:06:47

There's a lot of police that have extreme training, but that's what I'm saying.

Commando Crow: 00:06:50

Regardless when it, and I want a lot of those people, you have very capable

Commando Crow: 00:06:58

instructors out there that never did a day in the military or we're not on the force.

Commando Crow: 00:07:02

But the thing that I'm saying is, number one thing, the instructor should

Commando Crow: 00:07:06

not be your husband, or your wife, or somebody that you are friends with.

Commando Crow: 00:07:11

You are going to get talked to, and you need to understand the

Commando Crow: 00:07:17

possible consequences of not learning and appreciating that weapon.

Commando Crow: 00:07:23

You need somebody that is sole focused on not who you are, what you are doing.

Commando Crow: 00:07:30

If you have a weapon.

Commando Crow: 00:07:32

They need to be able to teach you firearm safety.

Commando Crow: 00:07:36

Learn firearm safety, learn how to deploy your weapon and to acquire your target.

Commando Crow: 00:07:43

That's the first and foremost.

Commando Crow: 00:07:45

Yeah, that's important.

Commando Crow: 00:07:47

And check your feelings at the door.

Commando Crow: 00:07:49

Don't even worry about taking your feelings with you

Commando Crow: 00:07:51

because you don't need those.

Commando Crow: 00:07:54

All American Commando: You don't need them.

Commando Crow: 00:07:55

But, and the reason we came to the second amendment talking about site

Commando Crow: 00:08:01

security is Once you get the weapon and I would leave it up to each

Commando Crow: 00:08:08

individual because everybody's situation is different everybody's So talk to

Commando Crow: 00:08:13

somebody prior to purchasing a weapon.

Commando Crow: 00:08:15

Tell them what your immediate needs are for that weapon.

Commando Crow: 00:08:19

Explain to them the environment that you are immediately trying

Commando Crow: 00:08:24

to defend, being your home.

Commando Crow: 00:08:26

Is it a brick structure?

Commando Crow: 00:08:27

Is it a wood structure?

Commando Crow: 00:08:29

Is it stucco?

Commando Crow: 00:08:30

Does it, everything about it.

Commando Crow: 00:08:31

Tell them that you are trying to have a self defense weapon for your property.

Commando Crow: 00:08:39

Get a lot of different Input.

Commando Crow: 00:08:44

Input on the type of weapon.

Commando Crow: 00:08:47

Okay.

Commando Crow: 00:08:48

Now, once you have determined which weapon that you're going to purchase, and that

Commando Crow: 00:08:53

you have started taking some type of firearm safety class, and an instructor

Commando Crow: 00:08:59

is teaching you proper use of the weapon, then you need to start understanding.

Commando Crow: 00:09:04

Ask, There is no better way to find out about a firearm and I'm military trained

Commando Crow: 00:09:11

and I still buzz people's ears because the technology changes all the time.

Commando Crow: 00:09:17

It's not static.

Commando Crow: 00:09:19

It is rapidly changing.

Commando Crow: 00:09:21

I'm not ashamed to say it.

Commando Crow: 00:09:23

I don't know everything.

Commando Crow: 00:09:24

And I'm going to ask if you use a pistol, you're probably going

Commando Crow: 00:09:30

to want to utilize hollow points.

Commando Crow: 00:09:33

And this goes into the communicating part.

Commando Crow: 00:09:37

If you have a firearm, and you have a family in your home, and

Commando Crow: 00:09:42

you have a weapon, and you have to engage a perpetrator, 911 is

Commando Crow: 00:09:47

already on the phone, it's already on speaker, it's already on document.

Commando Crow: 00:09:54

And if you have Children, they need to know if somebody comes in

Commando Crow: 00:09:58

this house, lay flat on the floor.

Commando Crow: 00:10:02

That way, if you engage a perpetrator and you shoot them and it goes through

Commando Crow: 00:10:07

the wall, then it's going to go over the head likely of your Children.

Commando Crow: 00:10:13

If your spouse is there.

Commando Crow: 00:10:16

Your spouse needs to know what to do.

Commando Crow: 00:10:19

Anytime a firearm is deployed, you always, I don't care if it's combat, I

Commando Crow: 00:10:26

don't care if it's personal defense, I don't give a shit if you're at a range.

Commando Crow: 00:10:32

You always identify your target, period.

Commando Crow: 00:10:37

Before you squeeze the trigger, before you put your finger on the trigger,

Commando Crow: 00:10:42

Yeah, don't be a gangbanger and just start waving your gun around

Commando Crow: 00:10:45

with your finger on the trigger.

Commando Crow: 00:10:46

That's dangerous for everybody.

Commando Crow: 00:10:48

All American Commando: Absolutely.

Commando Crow: 00:10:49

Because you have to think of the safety of your family.

Commando Crow: 00:10:52

Remember, preservation of life.

Commando Crow: 00:10:56

That is the mission.

Commando Crow: 00:11:01

That is what is on your mind.

Commando Crow: 00:11:03

It is not badass or Billy the Kid or it is to protect life.

Commando Crow: 00:11:09

Yeah.

Commando Crow: 00:11:09

And quite frankly, on a personal level if it's gonna be inside my

Commando Crow: 00:11:13

dwelling, I'm just going for a knife.

Commando Crow: 00:11:15

I'm just saying . It's

Commando Crow: 00:11:17

All American Commando: just that's me.

Commando Crow: 00:11:17

And sometimes the situation won't allow for that if

Commando Crow: 00:11:20

there's multiple as statements.

Commando Crow: 00:11:21

That's true.

Commando Crow: 00:11:21

That's true.

Commando Crow: 00:11:21

True, that's true.

Commando Crow: 00:11:23

But you need to understand the type of bullets or ammunition that you're using.

Commando Crow: 00:11:29

Some bullets will go clean through the house and exit the front or the back,

Commando Crow: 00:11:33

and it might go in the neighbor's house.

Commando Crow: 00:11:35

You don't want that.

Commando Crow: 00:11:35

All American Commando: learn.

Commando Crow: 00:11:36

Your ammunition, get the appropriate ammunition for the firearm that

Commando Crow: 00:11:42

you chose to best defend your home.

Commando Crow: 00:11:46

Including the grain load.

Commando Crow: 00:11:47

That's important.

Commando Crow: 00:11:49

Yeah, but yes, not as important probably as whether or not you use them.

Commando Crow: 00:11:56

Absolutely.

Commando Crow: 00:11:57

It is important because it determines how much

Commando Crow: 00:11:59

velocity is behind that round.

Commando Crow: 00:12:02

Absolutely.

Commando Crow: 00:12:03

But.

Commando Crow: 00:12:04

You can get a hypersonic load that will mushroom, and it will still pass through

Commando Crow: 00:12:11

a few walls, but it depends on the bullet.

Commando Crow: 00:12:17

The bullet is just as important as the gun.

Commando Crow: 00:12:21

You go to the range, you're gonna use probably, let's just say AR,

Commando Crow: 00:12:25

you're gonna use an AR platform.

Commando Crow: 00:12:27

A 2 23.

Commando Crow: 00:12:29

Heck, when I go to the range, I'm gonna use the cheapest bullets I can a 55 grain.

Commando Crow: 00:12:33

I usually use American Eagle.

Commando Crow: 00:12:35

There's a bunch of quality bullets out there.

Commando Crow: 00:12:37

I'm not sponsored by anybody.

Commando Crow: 00:12:39

That's what I use.

Commando Crow: 00:12:41

And it's more efficient.

Commando Crow: 00:12:43

It's a range bullet.

Commando Crow: 00:12:45

It's cheaper.

Commando Crow: 00:12:45

I was say, if you're going to the

Commando Crow: 00:12:46

range, you don't want something that you're going to use for any other

Commando Crow: 00:12:49

purpose, but the range, you don't wanna spend top dollar on range rounds.

Commando Crow: 00:12:53

Don't want something that's gonna gunk up your gun and cause it to jam either.

Commando Crow: 00:12:57

All American Commando: On top of your instructor, when you decide

Commando Crow: 00:13:00

the weapon that you want, the gunked up gun, cause it is ineffective.

Commando Crow: 00:13:06

It's a paperweight.

Commando Crow: 00:13:07

Let's say that again.

Commando Crow: 00:13:08

You get your instructor, if your instructor.

Commando Crow: 00:13:13

does not take the time to teach you how to properly clean your weapon.

Commando Crow: 00:13:18

Find another instructor.

Commando Crow: 00:13:20

Cleaning the weapon is just as important as knowing how to properly

Commando Crow: 00:13:25

use it in a safe fashion and acquiring and engaging a target.

Commando Crow: 00:13:30

Cleaning a weapon is part of, it's no different than owning a car.

Commando Crow: 00:13:35

If you have to add water or oil, you do it.

Commando Crow: 00:13:38

And if you don't do it, the car will break down.

Commando Crow: 00:13:41

Have to say that the cleaning weapon falls

Commando Crow: 00:13:43

under the category of safety.

Commando Crow: 00:13:46

Unless you pulled the trigger and heard that thunk, you have no idea.

Commando Crow: 00:13:50

You don't want to hear that.

Commando Crow: 00:13:52

But you know what I'm saying, it falls under the category of safety all day long.

Commando Crow: 00:13:57

If you don't have a clean weapon, you're looking at all kinds of problems down

Commando Crow: 00:14:00

the road that you really don't want.

Commando Crow: 00:14:02

All American Commando: Oh, absolutely.

Commando Crow: 00:14:04

There's numerous malfunctions that unclean weapon is an dirty weapon is an unsafe

Commando Crow: 00:14:12

weapon and it should not be used period.

Commando Crow: 00:14:15

If you choose to buy a weapon, ask questions, figure out the best weapon for

Commando Crow: 00:14:21

the purpose that you're getting it for, explore munitions, ask questions, get

Commando Crow: 00:14:27

the right munitions for the environment that you're going to deploy that weapon

Commando Crow: 00:14:31

in, and learn how to clean that weapon.

Commando Crow: 00:14:34

Now, if anybody out there has any favorite weapons that they like to use

Commando Crow: 00:14:40

for home defense, or if anybody out there has any tidbits of information that

Commando Crow: 00:14:46

might have more training than myself.

Commando Crow: 00:14:48

It doesn't even matter if it's less training than me.

Commando Crow: 00:14:51

If you have an interesting perspective on this, I really do want to hear

Commando Crow: 00:14:55

it because I'm here to learn just as well as I am to spread a little

Commando Crow: 00:14:59

bit of the knowledge that I do have.

Commando Crow: 00:15:01

Most definitely because I would love to think I know a lot.

Commando Crow: 00:15:06

I'd like to think that, but it seems the more people I meet,

Commando Crow: 00:15:09

the more I learn, I don't know.

Commando Crow: 00:15:12

All American Commando: So yeah, I know a little bit about a lot of shit and

Commando Crow: 00:15:14

that's about the extent of my knowledge.

Commando Crow: 00:15:16

It's fun to think, everything for about 30 seconds.

Commando Crow: 00:15:19

That's as far as it goes.

Commando Crow: 00:15:22

All American Commando: Now, another thing that I would talk about back

Commando Crow: 00:15:26

to pace, you got a primary, you got an alternate, you got a contingency,

Commando Crow: 00:15:31

and then you got an emergency.

Commando Crow: 00:15:33

Fallback positions, primary position, defend your own right

Commando Crow: 00:15:39

now, an alternate position.

Commando Crow: 00:15:42

Everybody should use their brain.

Commando Crow: 00:15:44

Sun Tzu even says the wise warrior will avoid the fight.

Commando Crow: 00:15:49

Okay.

Commando Crow: 00:15:50

If you are utilizing a weapon that has a higher capacity to defend your home and

Commando Crow: 00:15:57

you have multiple assailants come in your home, you are still at a disadvantage

Commando Crow: 00:16:03

because there are multiple assailants.

Commando Crow: 00:16:05

You're not going to know for sure if they're coming in the same entry point.

Commando Crow: 00:16:08

You're not going to you don't know all the breach points, but if it's

Commando Crow: 00:16:12

one or two people coming in your home and you're using a high capacity

Commando Crow: 00:16:16

magazine, you have an advantage.

Commando Crow: 00:16:20

Now, when you're at the range and you're shooting targets, they do not shoot back.

Commando Crow: 00:16:25

You might be able to hit the target 10 out of 10 times, 20 out

Commando Crow: 00:16:29

of 20 times, 30 out of 30 times.

Commando Crow: 00:16:32

When the target shoots back, your accuracy is going to fall off immensely.

Commando Crow: 00:16:41

For a lot of reasons, but a lot of times you got to take cover.

Commando Crow: 00:16:44

So if it comes to a point that you have to go to an alternate location

Commando Crow: 00:16:50

and you cannot preserve life anymore at your home, then you have to

Commando Crow: 00:16:56

be able to bug out of that home.

Commando Crow: 00:16:59

So you need to have some type of a go bag.

Commando Crow: 00:17:02

Now, I can get into a million different scenarios and situations.

Commando Crow: 00:17:09

It would be impossible for me to cover each of them and provide adequate

Commando Crow: 00:17:14

information on any of them if I did that.

Commando Crow: 00:17:17

So let's just say you had to bug out and you had to bug out for up to 72 hours.

Commando Crow: 00:17:23

Your home is being overrun.

Commando Crow: 00:17:26

You cannot protect the lives of you or the people in your home.

Commando Crow: 00:17:32

Forget about your property.

Commando Crow: 00:17:33

Your property doesn't matter.

Commando Crow: 00:17:36

If you have to grab a bug out bag, it should be set for 72 hours.

Commando Crow: 00:17:41

Because if you can come back home in 72 hours a period, if you weren't

Commando Crow: 00:17:47

able to defend it and you flee, your home will probably be cleaned

Commando Crow: 00:17:51

out by the end of that 72 hours.

Commando Crow: 00:17:54

So chances are it will be of no use to anybody trying to break in it later, and

Commando Crow: 00:17:59

you might be able to come home again.

Commando Crow: 00:18:02

Correct.

Commando Crow: 00:18:03

Bug out bags.

Commando Crow: 00:18:05

There's some research.

Commando Crow: 00:18:06

I could definitely go through a whole bunch of, I could list a bunch of

Commando Crow: 00:18:13

things to go into a 72 hour pack.

Commando Crow: 00:18:16

That would be like an assault pack for me.

Commando Crow: 00:18:20

That would be something that I could go.

Commando Crow: 00:18:22

Something that's very light.

Commando Crow: 00:18:24

I still remain quick and agile.

Commando Crow: 00:18:28

Emergency shelter, some type of weather protection, like

Commando Crow: 00:18:32

from rain or cold, layers.

Commando Crow: 00:18:35

You obviously, depending on how many people you have, you could go

Commando Crow: 00:18:42

three days without water, but you don't want to go one without water.

Commando Crow: 00:18:46

You can go three weeks without food, but you don't want to.

Commando Crow: 00:18:50

This right here?

Commando Crow: 00:18:50

Yes.

Commando Crow: 00:18:51

This is a bugger out bag and yes, it looks quite large actually.

Commando Crow: 00:18:56

If you expand it all the way, how many large is that?

Commando Crow: 00:18:58

This was 45, 45 liters.

Commando Crow: 00:19:02

You can carry more than enough for three days in this bag, and you

Commando Crow: 00:19:08

can actually attach extra external stuff,

Commando Crow: 00:19:11

All American Commando: but if you look at the MOLLE system on it,

Commando Crow: 00:19:13

that's correct.

Commando Crow: 00:19:15

For anybody interested, and I'm spreading this apart because I don't

Commando Crow: 00:19:19

have it filled up right now, however, this is probably more than enough.

Commando Crow: 00:19:25

For a typical 3 day, bug out and absolutely

Commando Crow: 00:19:30

quite frankly, I think this is probably a little

Commando Crow: 00:19:33

larger than what I would need.

Commando Crow: 00:19:35

I actually had this 1 for Laura to carry in case she needs to carry something.

Commando Crow: 00:19:40

Because that 70 later that you send me, that's entirely too much for her.

Commando Crow: 00:19:44

And I know that I would put quite a bit in it, but just for the sake of.

Commando Crow: 00:19:50

All American Commando: People watching this is a bag right there would be ideal

Commando Crow: 00:19:54

for a get home bag something to pack And high energy food if you're away and you're

Commando Crow: 00:20:02

just trying to get home, wind protection rain protection Yeah, and I have I mean

Commando Crow: 00:20:11

I do have here I'll make sure I got them the next time

Commando Crow: 00:20:14

we bring something up, but I have I actually have a small medical bag And

Commando Crow: 00:20:19

when I say small, it is very sm Look, I don't know if you can see it very

Commando Crow: 00:20:26

well on here, but this pouch right here is about the size of my medical bag.

Commando Crow: 00:20:32

That's about it, okay?

Commando Crow: 00:20:35

And quite frankly, it has most everything you need in it, as far as

Commando Crow: 00:20:40

gauze it's got tape, self adhesive tape, you got band aids of different

Commando Crow: 00:20:46

sizes, alcohol swabs, stain swabs, And I forget what they call them, Patrick.

Commando Crow: 00:20:52

What, I guess it's just a sting wipe or,

Commando Crow: 00:20:54

All American Commando: it's what I'm talking about.

Commando Crow: 00:20:57

It's not for anti itch cream for, or a wipe for if you get a

Commando Crow: 00:21:04

bites or, yeah.

Commando Crow: 00:21:06

And that's what it comes with that now also have a sewing kit

Commando Crow: 00:21:11

that I have separate, but it fits in my metal bag, medical bag.

Commando Crow: 00:21:15

And all of that will fit in that one pocket I just showed you.

Commando Crow: 00:21:18

So don't do like I didn't get carried away with how much stuff

Commando Crow: 00:21:21

do I have to have and what all do I need to carry anything like that?

Commando Crow: 00:21:25

And look, this right here, or your bug out bag,

Commando Crow: 00:21:29

All American Commando: you need it.

Commando Crow: 00:21:31

Don't go without it.

Commando Crow: 00:21:32

Yeah.

Commando Crow: 00:21:34

That's exactly right.

Commando Crow: 00:21:36

And that would be if you have to prepare for more than 72 hours, a

Commando Crow: 00:21:40

standard bug out bag, you figure 72 hours, you're probably good.

Commando Crow: 00:21:44

Once again, anybody disagrees with me, share your thoughts and feelings on that.

Commando Crow: 00:21:48

Everybody's different.

Commando Crow: 00:21:50

Everybody's environment is different.

Commando Crow: 00:21:51

Some people are urban.

Commando Crow: 00:21:53

Some people do not have a secondary place that they can go.

Commando Crow: 00:21:57

I would just be interested

Commando Crow: 00:21:58

in knowing what other people Might have to deal

Commando Crow: 00:22:01

with and what they think, what they feel is best for them to carry.

Commando Crow: 00:22:04

And yeah, because quite frankly, even though we may live in different

Commando Crow: 00:22:08

hemispheres, somebody else may have their bag set up for an emergency

Commando Crow: 00:22:14

situation and have something in that bag that would probably be beneficial.

Commando Crow: 00:22:19

I would like to hear it.

Commando Crow: 00:22:20

I think it would be good to hear it because we're not local,

Commando Crow: 00:22:23

we talk to people everywhere.

Commando Crow: 00:22:25

But all in all, and that video that I watched that you sent me, I don't

Commando Crow: 00:22:30

think that guy would disagree.

Commando Crow: 00:22:33

This is all you need for 72

Commando Crow: 00:22:35

All American Commando: hours.

Commando Crow: 00:22:36

Yeah, you're probably right.

Commando Crow: 00:22:38

The bag he was carrying wasn't this big.

Commando Crow: 00:22:42

I personally, I'm going to look for a little bit more space.

Commando Crow: 00:22:44

No, everybody's got their own preference.

Commando Crow: 00:22:46

And mind you, I'm used to, and the day I was in, I carried Alice pack, so

Commando Crow: 00:22:50

that was a large bag and external frame that's not needed for communications,

Commando Crow: 00:22:55

equipment and everything else.

Commando Crow: 00:22:56

All American Commando: Yeah.

Commando Crow: 00:22:56

That bag's definitely overkill for a 72 hour bug out.

Commando Crow: 00:23:00

That would be very much overkill, but, and this.

Commando Crow: 00:23:05

You need some of these.

Commando Crow: 00:23:07

All American Commando: Oh, yeah.

Commando Crow: 00:23:08

Just ask around.

Commando Crow: 00:23:11

We're trying to do things to aid people in being prepared.

Commando Crow: 00:23:15

We're not trying to set the standard.

Commando Crow: 00:23:17

Everyone is different and unique.

Commando Crow: 00:23:21

Everybody's physical ability is different.

Commando Crow: 00:23:24

Everybody's needs and requirements are different.

Commando Crow: 00:23:27

So if you talk to anybody that

Commando Crow: 00:23:29

does survival training or evasion training,

Commando Crow: 00:23:32

They'll tell you the same thing.

Commando Crow: 00:23:33

Everybody's situation is going to be unique to them and that situation

Commando Crow: 00:23:38

All American Commando: their environment That's right.

Commando Crow: 00:23:41

So nothing here is set in stone.

Commando Crow: 00:23:44

These are ideas.

Commando Crow: 00:23:45

And, again, we want to hear yours too, because your ideas

Commando Crow: 00:23:49

may benefit us in ways we didn't

Commando Crow: 00:23:50

All American Commando: consider.

Commando Crow: 00:23:51

Absolutely.

Commando Crow: 00:23:53

Man, I hate to do this, man.

Commando Crow: 00:23:54

I really do.

Commando Crow: 00:23:55

I'm gonna have to get this damn shoulder up here.

Commando Crow: 00:24:00

But yeah, it's, people need to start, and I don't mean to say need

Commando Crow: 00:24:05

to, I do mean it, I don't mean it.

Commando Crow: 00:24:08

I don't mean it.

Commando Crow: 00:24:08

It look at it like a game start paying attention to things and like a

Commando Crow: 00:24:14

self, when you talk about things like situational awareness, we've talked

Commando Crow: 00:24:21

about this on a previous episode, everybody goes to convenience stores.

Commando Crow: 00:24:25

Convenience stores get robbed regular.

Commando Crow: 00:24:28

You go into a convenience store.

Commando Crow: 00:24:30

Take note of everybody in there.

Commando Crow: 00:24:31

Take note of the possible exits.

Commando Crow: 00:24:32

Take note of whatever you can take note of in there just in case something

Commando Crow: 00:24:38

negative happens outside of your control to where you can preserve your life.

Commando Crow: 00:24:42

That is your goal.

Commando Crow: 00:24:44

Life preservation.

Commando Crow: 00:24:46

No matter who you are, where you are, it doesn't just have to be at home.

Commando Crow: 00:24:50

So always keep your eyes open for things that look funny or out of place.

Commando Crow: 00:24:55

Or, you just, you, if you get a feeling in your gut that something

Commando Crow: 00:25:00

is not right, you know what?

Commando Crow: 00:25:02

Something is probably not right.

Commando Crow: 00:25:06

I'm gonna also go back a little bit on self defense, site defense.

Commando Crow: 00:25:10

Alright.

Commando Crow: 00:25:12

I don't, like I said, don't matter if it's a house or an apartment,

Commando Crow: 00:25:18

never arm your assailants.

Commando Crow: 00:25:21

So if you have things outside that are like shovels or pickaxes, axes, anything.

Commando Crow: 00:25:29

If you have any tools that are outside that can be utilized as a weapon against

Commando Crow: 00:25:35

you or a way to bust in windows or doors, keep that stuff policed, pick it up,

Commando Crow: 00:25:43

store it in a proper location so that.

Commando Crow: 00:25:47

Out of sight, out of mind is a big factor.

Commando Crow: 00:25:49

If somebody is going to break into your house, they're probably not going to

Commando Crow: 00:25:51

go just digging through a storage shed.

Commando Crow: 00:25:54

I'm not saying they won't, if they can't get in and they see a storage

Commando Crow: 00:25:58

shed, of course, they're probably going to see what kind of tools they

Commando Crow: 00:26:00

can find to breach your perimeter.

Commando Crow: 00:26:02

But then again, if it's a locked storage shed, that'll give

Commando Crow: 00:26:05

you a heads up that somebody's out.

Commando Crow: 00:26:08

Absolutely.

Commando Crow: 00:26:09

So don't leave things out that can be utilized as weapons against you.

Commando Crow: 00:26:14

That's part of just perimeter security.

Commando Crow: 00:26:18

It would never behoove you to leave weaponry in the hands of whoever

Commando Crow: 00:26:25

it is that's coming to get you.

Commando Crow: 00:26:27

It's just not a good idea.

Commando Crow: 00:26:29

I think that goes back to, making sure you know where everything is, policing

Commando Crow: 00:26:32

the perimeter, policing your borders.

Commando Crow: 00:26:35

Thank you.

Commando Crow: 00:26:36

However you want to put it.

Commando Crow: 00:26:37

Yeah, you don't want to leave things lying around.

Commando Crow: 00:26:39

Look, I think you and I both know pretty well that anything

Commando Crow: 00:26:42

that moves can be a weapon.

Commando Crow: 00:26:44

If you can pick it up, it can be a weapon.

Commando Crow: 00:26:46

So try to minimize.

Commando Crow: 00:26:49

What anybody who calls, who wants to cause you harm can get their hands on.

Commando Crow: 00:26:56

All American Commando: Yeah.

Commando Crow: 00:26:57

It's of the utmost importance.

Commando Crow: 00:26:59

I would like to see what the stats are of the number of people that have

Commando Crow: 00:27:04

assaulted homeowners with their own stuff.

Commando Crow: 00:27:07

I wonder what the.

Commando Crow: 00:27:10

I could tell you what

Commando Crow: 00:27:10

the stats are of Paul Pelosi being invaded by men and underwear.

Commando Crow: 00:27:16

Let's hit the bed.

Commando Crow: 00:27:17

I don't know what the other guys do.

Commando Crow: 00:27:20

But we're going to hear from you.

Commando Crow: 00:27:22

Just send us an email to podteam at the constitution.

Commando Crow: 00:27:25

Fernando's dot org.

Commando Crow: 00:27:27

And don't forget.

Commando Crow: 00:27:28

All American Commando: so that.

Commando Crow: 00:27:29

Out of sight, out of mind is a big factor.

Commando Crow: 00:27:31

If somebody is going to break into your house, they're probably not going to

Commando Crow: 00:27:34

go just digging through a storage shed.

Commando Crow: 00:27:37

I'm not saying they won't, if they can't get in and they see a storage

Commando Crow: 00:27:41

shed, of course, they're probably going to see what kind of tools they

Commando Crow: 00:27:43

can find to breach your perimeter.

Commando Crow: 00:27:44

But

Commando Crow: 00:27:45

then again, if it's a locked storage shed, that'll give you

Commando Crow: 00:27:48

a heads up that somebody's out.

Commando Crow: 00:27:51

Absolutely.

Commando Crow: 00:27:52

So don't leave things out that can be utilized as weapons against you.

Commando Crow: 00:27:57

All American Commando: Uh,

Commando Crow: 00:27:57

that's part of just perimeter security.

Commando Crow: 00:28:01

It would never behoove you to leave weaponry in the hands of whoever

Commando Crow: 00:28:08

it is that's coming to get you.

Commando Crow: 00:28:09

It's just not a good idea.

Commando Crow: 00:28:12

All American Commando: Well,

Commando Crow: 00:28:12

I think that goes back

Commando Crow: 00:28:13

to, you know, making sure you know where everything is, policing the

Commando Crow: 00:28:16

perimeter, policing your borders.

Commando Crow: 00:28:19

Thank you.

Commando Crow: 00:28:20

However you want to put it.

Commando Crow: 00:28:21

Yeah, you don't want to leave things lying around.

Commando Crow: 00:28:23

I mean, look, I think you and I both know pretty well that anything

Commando Crow: 00:28:26

that moves can be a weapon.

Commando Crow: 00:28:28

If you can pick it up, it can be a weapon.

Commando Crow: 00:28:30

So try to minimize.

Commando Crow: 00:28:33

What, what anybody who calls, who wants to cause you harm can get their hands on.

Commando Crow: 00:28:42

All American Commando: Yeah.

Commando Crow: 00:28:43

It, it, it's of the utmost importance.

Commando Crow: 00:28:45

I mean, I, I would like to see what the stats are of the number

Commando Crow: 00:28:48

of people that have assaulted homeowners with their own stuff.

Commando Crow: 00:29:18

And don't forget.

Commando Crow: 00:29:19

Right.

Commando Crow: 00:29:19

It's on podchester.

Commando Crow: 00:29:21

com.

Commando Crow: 00:29:21

Leave us a review, let us know how we do it.

Commando Crow: 00:29:24

It takes a moment and it helps us out tremendously until next time.

Commando Crow: 00:29:28

And on behalf of my brother and myself, we're the constitution

Commando Crow: 00:29:32

commandos and we're signing off.
