    Every day that passes, it is getting harder to stay positive about our country. Thank God that we have patriots who honor their oaths.

    My husband follows both of you. I was not sure why he suddenly booked us into a stop the bleed course, bought me a first aid kit, gave me a multi tool, a knife, a torch, a portable radio and has been building up an emergency evacuation bag for me... I've also been thrown into jiu jitsu lessons despite weighing 47kilos and being the worlds biggest girly girl. It all makes sense now. 😅 Don't get me wrong, I am so lucky to have a husband who takes charge of our lives and safety. So thank you guys. ❤

    When I was 12, I watched my father, an ex-Marine, apply a tourniquet (i.e. his belt) to a young man's leg. The man had been involved in a motorcycle wreck, and my father's actions that day saved his life. You never know what you are going to encounter.

    The best prepping, is to already be living in the place, and around the people, that you want to be at and around, when the worst happens.

    I was a paramedic on scene at the VT shooting and worked on those kids. Your description of the scene was accurate and seldom described in media with regards to the methodic process he used. The students that I treated had jumped out of windows and had various fractures. They described being unable to break the windows initially and trying not to make noise doing so as they heard the shots approaching. When they jumped down they were landing in a pile creating blunt force trauma to those that couldn't run. At that time I was also a collage student taking night courses and I had concerns for copy cat shooters. After that event I began carrying ballistic plates in my back pack, a window punch and a 19.

    While skiing in Canada, I suffered A freak fall and shattered my left tibia, a compound fracture with profuse hemorrhage. My ski buddy was able to get a cloth belt around my thigh, saving my life. If you ski, bike, hike, drive, a tourniquet is not a bad idea, costs little, weighs nothing, and can save your life. You know what you’re talking about…

    I was in a natural disaster where the region was cut off from metro for five days. Fuel, money (ATM), and food, was gone 11am first day when people realised what was happening. Societal predators started appearing first night when they "felt lack of consequence" (via law enforcement) for looting and saying they can help get medical prescriptions etc preying on the sick and elderly. Us and our neighbours worked together late second day to resist these predators and help each other.

    you can tell mike has surrounded himself with some of the best. it’s in his humility and his ingenuity.
  • That "Generator with 2 y/o Gas in it" hit home last week when I tried unsuccessfully to start mine. I was just checking to see "If" it would start, and it didn't. Regularly excising your Generator is important.

    My friend Bill was working in his garage with his grand son when his hand slipped while using a saw. He fell forward and snagged his arm on a nail ripping his arm open on a gash five inches long. H equickly instructed his grandson to go get grandma and removed his belt wrapped it around and sat down calmly . He survived due to his calm actions. Great works here guys pay attention. Thank you to these efella for helping is be prepared
  • Live in the western adk mountains. Been without power for 3 days. Living just fine. My family is trained and always ready
  • @Tylerwjones85
    Love how it started as a more serious “Ironclad” production and quickly devolved into Andy and Mike being Andy and Mike!
  • @SharonBell-zd4ln
    You are such a deep thinker,Mike Glover! Listening to you makes so much sense. Many people don't want to think of these scenarios, let alone discuss these realities! Thank you!
  • @travistexian
    Spot on comments. I am retired law enforcement, and spent 3 years as a Law Enforcement Professional (LEP) embedded, Afghanistan. I also helped during Katrina in 2005, and saw the government lack of effective response, supplemented by local citizens. I have written about the same concepts of dealing with large scale disorder or disaster, and being organized at the personal and local community level. Good interview, well done.
  • @rylan76
    Always worth listening with attention to Mike & Andy.
  • I raised my kids with an action mindset. When my oldest was 14 i broke my tibia fishing, of all the stupid things, we were way back in and after making sure i wasnt in shock we splinted it and he went for help. He got a good samaritan back in to me and they hobbled me out. He drove me to the hospital and I was never concerned. I tell them, if you are going to freak out do it after everything is fixed. By then they will forget! Lol
  • When he referred to his book shelves I was like, “Snap.” That’s exactly what my hundreds of books are for; prepping: from basic engineering, building, metallurgy, sewing, crafts, such as leatherwork, Emergency First-Aid, SAS survival guides, archery, bow-making, 101 crossbow blueprints & siege-weapons, farming, homesteading, animal processing, skinning & tanning, rope-making, knots, basket-weaving, fabric-making, in-depth midwifery books, Weston A. Price, Sun Tsu, the list goes on and on..
  • I always get so excited when I see a new video drop with Mike and Andy and it’s always a must watch no matter what else I’m doing

    Every word is GOLD. Thank You!
