It would be both hilarious and educational to see you guys film a middle of the night CQB from dead sleep to full go. No one ever talks about waking up from a dead sleep to a hostile environment.
This is something that training can help prepare you for. Have days planned that you're going to work through stressed scenarios. It doesn't mean waking up and grabbing your primary but you can do things like a plan every so often your partner or someone sets a random alarm to wake you up and you have to do a set number of tasks that you don't know beforehand. Like wake up, break down your rifle or pistol, safe and then move to the next object you're given that a partner is yelling at you. Like apply a TQ to a limb and resume to the next movement that might involve strobes, and loud music while you try to call your partner to give a description of the items you see and then do an AAR. This probably sounds insane but doing gross motor skills from a dead sleep and having unknown things you need to work through allows your brain to learning immediately start to process under stress at a wake up. Having things like assembly of a firearm while still half sleep let's you get to know how well you know the system even when half asleep. Next medical, can you keep yourself alive if you stepped into a hallway and took a round. The strobes and loud music is distracting as hell and would be dealing with flash blindness and ringing ears after a shoot. Ringing ears and flashing vision can be mimicked. I would stay away from fire alarms in these trainings for obvious reasons of complacency in a fire or worse make your neighbors think your house is burning at 2am. If you really want to push this have strobes staggered on a remote control for your person to switch on upon entering a room. High frequency buzzing at the same time. Start this with having to put in a 10-16 digit code to open your phone to start. Can you critically think under stress, remember numbers and move with purpose. I wouldn't recommend this for someone with PTSD because the startle response is real on a wakeup and could really fuck them up for weeks on sleep. Hypervigilance and response under stress mostly happens on training like you have in the past. Someone who is woke up like that in my experience needs a few seconds to understand threat, action and movement. Not everyone but its the one positive of PTSD I've never heard anyone want to change is the awareness and response when needed but on a normal day to the movies or l dinner. Being "on" takes time to throttle down to a normal-ish level for some. Most cases its when things are calm and chill we are aware of possible threats XY and Z but when things are going sideways an almost calm comes over you because you know what to do. I've noticed not even shaky hands until adrenaline crashes after an event.
Out of all things i watch and read comments on and that’s a lot of stuff because I’m always interested in other people’s take, this comment is more than likely the best, most informative, well written comment I’ve ever read. I know my opinion doesn’t matter but, Well done my friend and thank you.
Georta Mack, 14, was killed by his dad in Cincinnati because thought he was an intruder. His son was sneaking back into the house after leaving for school. TARGET DISCRIMINATION is everything. Kyle Morgan (SFOD-D) said "anyone can pull a trigger and kills someone. The hard part of the job is making these quick, critical decisions". Paule Howe (Former SFOD-D and Blackhawk Down Vet) has so many videos talking about the decision-making process when it comes to taking or not taking a shot. This is something most people don't think about. UA-camrs always love teaching people how to shoot fast and acurate at paper and metal with cool gear. But, the decision-making inside your brain is 99% of it and what really matters.
Moving at a low/high ready at not looking directly down your sights is big so you don’t automatically squeeze reflexively at someone in their bathrobe.
@@Bigboi23847 it’s because it’s reality. Reality of a gunfight isn’t sexy or instagramable. So, it doesn’t sell. If it doesn’t sell, instructors don’t talk about it. They want to sell civilians cool and bad ass. Which in reality there’s nothing cool about shooting another person or being shot at. The legal battle, the trauma your wife and kids would endure and the mental toll it would take on you is beyond anything people understand or can prepare for.
This couldn't have come at a better time. I've been studying and training with light techniques quite a bit lately and I've learned all this throughout my studies. Most of the time I'm only using my edc light in different places I might be. Having all this information compiled into one solid video is amazing and it's very much appreciated! Great work guys!
The reason this is one of my top channels is it gives out seriously good and valuable information on such a broad range of topics. For civs i think it's necessary. We dont really get to specialize. Your skill base needs to be as broad and diverse as possible. Majority of us arent working with a team of guys who can specialize. I think it's imperative for us to know a broader range of skills. The other very important part is the humor. It's awesome to see the light side and the ability to laugh at ourselves. My favorite guests are drew and Kyle lamb. They embrace the humor, especially drew. It makes everything much more palatable for folks who dont like to nerd out like someone like me. Even though i nerd out, the humor still makes the video more enjoyable. It's awesome. Keep it up guys
"The plan never survives first contact." I always liked that quote because it suggests the importance of versatility and flexibility. Being a jack of all trades is preferable when SHTF because there are so many possible situations that could arise. Having a general idea of what to do in each is what's going to keep you alive. Only after you have all your bases covered, should you start specializing. With that said, once you get there, a good starting point for building a team is the book Concrete Jungle by Clay Martin. He breaks down the different roles in ODA (Operational Detachment Alpha) and how to build that team with dirty civilians. The aspect of it that's brilliant is that the specialization is based on existing skill sets from people's occupations and hobbies/interests. Putting a squad together isn't as difficult as one might think - you just have to find people that want to do it. It's a general guide, so it doesn't get too technical, but it covers a broad range of topics. It takes combat experience and applies it to our circumstances in a practical, relatable (and humorous) way. Highly recommend. It's on Amazon, on the cheap.
Thanks for making these and for Drew dropping knowledge and wisdom from real life training and experience. Btw, Drew's disappointed/frustrated face in this vid and especially in the initial house clearing video is so intense it can make a successful the most successful and confident person feel worthless lol. Keep it up, fella's!
Great knowledge, humor, and production value as always fellas - I'm loving the collaboration between you all. Thanks for staying dynamic, and for bringing great topics to "light."
Another great video. Motion lights and cameras strategically set up to make you feel as if you have a team backing you up. I agree being still in the dark using your senses extremely important skill set and will calm you down to help make better decisions
I would like longer video on signature reduction, it’s one of my favourites and 40 min barely enough to cover the basics, I personally would watch hours of it!
I see something that can be key to clearing a room that you have to open a door to enter. Most of the time when you open the door and it comes back to you don't always believe nothing is behind it. You can take a second shine your light in the cracks of the door and frame potential exposure of someone hiding behind it waiting for you to enter the room and attack from behind the door. Just a odd observation on my part
Great video. Blowers taught me another light technique with a wml was “bouncing” the light. Ceiling or floor. Portals are what I know as adjacent spaces. Which is very often where a threat lies. It’s my understanding that adjacent spaces are where we took a lot casualties early on in the GWOT. This also reminds me I need to get some more training in next year.
we as soldiers (in my group) also have this as one of the things we tell and teach our privates, etc., that we must also be aware of our own houses/flats and learn about our surroundings. because we can just as well encounter it in our house today as it can happen when we are out, so it is therefore necessary that we also know what the rooms in our house are like and practice it so that we are ready to protect ourselves and our famille and friends in civil life (we never know what can happen) it can just as well happen in our house that a stranger (who wants us bad) can be or want to enter. and on top of that, it's also training for when we have to use it in other places than on the battlefield where we know it can happen "so why not be prepared at home too" and what about everything that happens around us, so that's why we teach our privates etc. about it, as we say (get to know your house and learn to defend it in the situation you may find yourself in where an uninvited person is in your house or wants to enter and do you harm) so that you are always ready to clear your house for enemies without shooting your friends and famillie only shoot the enemy.
38:02 one thing about this entry is that you are going through space that'll trigger an angle you haven't fully cleared yet (open doorway you were looking into while opening the bathroom door) and if there's someone there he propably won't hit you or even open fire becose of how fast you're going past his line of fire but when you get out and peek through the treshold he's already going to be holding that doorway down becose he saw you go in. this could get you killed. just learned this myself when i started thinking about it and i'm glad i did, i hope this raises some new thoughts. this aside a very good video, learned some stuff and good reasoning for the tactics. love the content keep it up
Another time going constant on with the light might be after you've cleared a structure and are doing further searching or assessing. Not necessarily in a military or police context either of course. For example maybe you've returned home to find the back door open. You may use momentary light when clearing the house to ensure nobody is inside, but then may switch to constant (or just turn on the lights) afterwards to check for broken glass or missing items. Just to help illustrate the need for both. Great content as always.
You can practice peripheral vision. My Mtn Bike instructor. The great Gene Hamilton of BetterRide taught us to put cones out, then close your eyes and visualize them. This is how you can look up the trail and avoid obstacles. This is a skill every outdoorsman / tactical person should practice so you learn to scan and move around without tripping on stuff. Trail running, mountain biking, hiking all help improve these skills and help keep you in tip top shape.
95% of us have no access to this type of training. 20 years in the military and I did very little stuff like this. I'll probably be hamburger within the first week of SHTF.
Everyone should train to do emergency reloads, under stress, while holding their light. Very gratefully, this is a lesson I learned during simunitions training, not on a call. Shining a high lumen light on your target makes it extremely difficult for them to engage you. Strobing the light makes it even harder. (Source is personal experiences, and feedback from others)
Low light for me is trying to find something in the garage or attic I left a year ago, and my wife is “describing” to me in vague yet detailed information to where she last saw it, and I’m moving methodically slow knowing there may or may not be dead mice in sticky traps.
This was really useful. Question about leaving the light on while coming down the hall. Wouldn't you be advertising your position to anyone in one of those rooms by seeing the light through the bottom of the door? I haven't tested this, but it seems like you'd be able to somewhat guess by watching how bright the light is getting. Great content as usual.
Great info about knowing your home if you've lived there a long time. Unfortunately, my wife moves the furniture every 3 seconds. Half the time I don't even realize anythings been moved anymore until I run into it.......
OMG I think I've been laughing for about 10 minutes now I just had to come back to the video to finish watching after the intro. 🤣 You guys are awesome 👍
You should try this in a force on force scenario , Iv'e noticed about "half" the time myself and others would lose the fight using a light , exposing location versus not ... Much better odds when sitting in the dark waiting for my target to light them selves up , very easy wins... This seems geared towards an offensive team scenario 'swat/leo" ,not the individual facing multiple or defending their home..
Static defense is going to have the advantage the vast majority of the time. This is why CQB is an inevitable death sentence even for those who have trained extensively, nevermind doing so by oneself. This is also why many advocate for not clearing anything unless a "driving force" is present, such as someone in danger. What it boils down to is "Am I willing to die to stop what's happening?"
What I learned from SF is when you in a hallway, just light it up with the flashlight just for a second with the arm away in case there are some tangos they don't shoot you especially more like the spot where the flashlight is and then kill the light and move on.
I keep night lights in every room that isnt occupied at night (bathroom, hallway, living room, ect.). They provide just enough light that, when paired with my knowledge of my home, ill be able to identify threat or friendly far faster and possible without needing my WML.
I can't remember where i heard it; might have been Buck during a Beers and Breakdowns video but night lights. If there's dead space behind a bar/bookcase/sofa etc or a recessed corner put a night light there if you can. If someone is hiding it may silhouette them or cast a shadow. Also wish you would do a class or two around Colorado Springs.
Yeah coming from a quarter back couch!! But they both were fully upright all times!! I would not be fully upright clearing!! Sadly I have had to clear my own home and learned from it!! I was damn lucky no one is in it!! My brain went through the various ways to go through and be killed and then go through to live!! Sad very sad for clearing!!
Hey guys just finished the video, great job by the way, and I was wondering what your thoughts are on turning on the room lights as you clear the house?
I feel like a mirror could work in really specific situations.. like if I hear someone downstairs in my living room, and I’m able to set up a mirror that looks normal but can give me a view of downstairs from a safe location like the top of the stairs.. that might make sense.. especially because you’re most likely going to be surrounded by darkness so you could peer downstairs without them noticing you, and have a small advantage.. but there aren’t many situations or even houses where it would be built in a way that a mirror would help without making your house look stupid. Also walking by a mirror at night can be scary anyways lol don’t want to end up with shattered glass because you shot a mirror
If using a weapon light to identify, pointing the weapon and light in a safer direction will give you enough ambient light to identify a person without pointing the barrel at them.
May not be ur house but CQB airsoft works wonder on clearing rooms. Still gotta ID people too to make sure they aren't on ur team. May not be 100% applicable but once you are in the CQB environment, you can find your "ID Pace" really quickly, else u get shot.
Hand-held vs. Weapon-mounted - *Own & use both.* Buy a quality WML and carry it. Buy a pile of reasonable hand-held lights. Think "turn me on and throw me into the dark space." You'll use the hand-helds far more often, but a cheap WML is dangerous and a waste of money.
They just need to make dual purpose light. Indoor 500 lumen wide flood, with a quick switch to go XXXX lumen with a spot beam for photonic barriers or outdoors.
I hear you guys say “shameless plug” often. There is no shameless plug. We watch you because we value your knowledge and input. Equally important to us- your viewers are your contacts who also have valuable content. SO…. Keep the starless plugs coming. 😅
Idk how often you guys check the comments but, what do you guys think about the old basic rule of "When in the dark, stay in the dark. When in the light, light up the dark."?
It would be both hilarious and educational to see you guys film a middle of the night CQB from dead sleep to full go. No one ever talks about waking up from a dead sleep to a hostile environment.
Well said.
People need to act quick n and aggressive if waking up from a dead sleep to defending your home or family is a problem for you then train for that
You'll have to ask my ex. She said she woke up to it all the time.
This is something that training can help prepare you for. Have days planned that you're going to work through stressed scenarios. It doesn't mean waking up and grabbing your primary but you can do things like a plan every so often your partner or someone sets a random alarm to wake you up and you have to do a set number of tasks that you don't know beforehand.

This also reminds me I need to get some more training in next year.

You can practice peripheral vision. My Mtn Bike instructor. The great Gene Hamilton of BetterRide taught us to put cones out, then close your eyes and visualize them.

Shining a high lumen light on your target makes it extremely difficult for them to engage you. Strobing the light makes it even harder. (Source is personal experiences, and feedback from others)
It can also disorient you.
I like these videos with Drew. It's pretty damn funny. U should keep this theme and make way more like this with him

“How do you guys think that went?” The face rubbing gets me every damn time. 🤣
The low-left shot placement comment on holding a light offset was an eye opener to me.
Motion lights in outlet plugs are the best for this. Pick a spot and wait, they will give up and move. Cheap and really helpful.

Stay at home Moms. ;)
Yeah coming from a quarter back couch!! But they both were fully upright all times!! I would not be fully upright clearing!! Sadly I have had to clear my own home and learned from it!! I was damn lucky no one is in it!! My brain went through the various ways to go through and be killed and then go through to live!! Sad very sad for clearing!!
Hey guys just finished the video, great job by the way, and I was wondering what your thoughts are on turning on the room lights as you clear the house?
Yall need to put a cover on the outlet on the cinder block wall
I feel like a mirror could work in really specific situations.. like if I hear someone downstairs in my living room, and I’m able to set up a mirror that looks normal but can give me a view of downstairs from a safe location like the top of the stairs.. that might make sense.. especially because you’re most likely going to be surrounded by darkness so you could peer downstairs without them noticing you, and have a small advantage.. but there aren’t many situations or even houses where it would be built in a way that a mirror would help without making your house look stupid. Also walking by a mirror at night can be scary anyways lol don’t want to end up with shattered glass because you shot a mirror
Hahahahaha I literally died laughing from that little scenario debrief. Literally lived that scene numerous times.
First 3 minutes are hilarious. Great job boys.
Thoughts on turning on the room lights as you enter?
Ohhhhh.... you literally had me crying laughing with the sliding down the railing hitting the banister. That would be a fantastic intro.
Great video. Thanks very much!
Intro made me laugh. Great content. I love what's coming out of your chennel!
Intro's never dissapoint
PLEASE do the sliding down the stairs railing open!
If using a weapon light to identify, pointing the weapon and light in a safer direction will give you enough ambient light to identify a person without pointing the barrel at them.
Thank you.
Had to clear my house this morning at 1:00 am because the garage door had opened for 2 minutes and the dog was barking. I need some training
Thank you for all do guys
Just scream “Siri” really loud if you want to distinguish between a gun or an IPhone 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 great video guys. Really enjoyed it
One of the best preparedness channels on UA-cam. Thanks guys 🫡
Thanks!
😄Great video… Especially the end!
MORE CQB WITH DREW!
Intro had me weak😂
May not be ur house but CQB airsoft works wonder on clearing rooms. Still gotta ID people too to make sure they aren't on ur team. May not be 100% applicable but once you are in the CQB environment, you can find your "ID Pace" really quickly, else u get shot.
Love the music. Where download. What is title called. Good music for haloween scare.
Good video. None of you checked the 12 to 16 inch deep return area of the first closet. An easy place to hide.
😂😂😂😂😂 the intro review Bro!
Thanks!
Hand-held vs. Weapon-mounted - *Own & use both.*
Buy a quality WML and carry it. Buy a pile of reasonable hand-held lights. Think "turn me on and throw me into the dark space."
You'll use the hand-helds far more often, but a cheap WML is dangerous and a waste of money.
I mean, can we just get more intro like this and that raid version or just a mini series of this stuff for some lite tactical humor
Solid knowledge transfer...
Hi from Brazil!
good students ask questions
They just need to make dual purpose light. Indoor 500 lumen wide flood, with a quick switch to go XXXX lumen with a spot beam for photonic barriers or outdoors.
"You know what they say. Opinions are like assholes... They're all delicious" wins the internet for me today 😂😂😂😂
though mirrors allow you to see without getting shot and if you can just check if you need to call police and if u have cs gas or smth
You guys hit it smooth and hilarious. Plus I took away some good infos. Bad A$$
What's the song at the beginning of the video?!
Just out of curiosity, would you tell your cops to turn down their radio?
The beginning of the vid, Drew’s faces of disappointment is amazing!
"watching a youtube video is not going to do you better" Shut you mouth... I'm better already...😂❤❤❤
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hear you guys say “shameless plug” often. There is no shameless plug. We watch you because we value your knowledge and input. Equally important to us- your viewers are your contacts who also have valuable content. SO…. Keep the starless plugs coming. 😅
But are the Agonic EDBs the coveted top shot variety?
Whats the intro music?
Idk how often you guys check the comments but, what do you guys think about the old basic rule of "When in the dark, stay in the dark. When in the light, light up the dark."?
