Swamp Considerations II: Planning/METT-TC
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 кві 2022
- This is Part II of Swamp Considerations. I cover planning for wetland operations and things to bear in mind, including "enemy" forces and what groups to draw from as a unit pool. This is focused more for those planning civilian side operations as opposed to just everyone in the group, but it should help all who watch it. As always, thank you for the support!

It makes me giddy seeing content like this that is applicable to civs.
Glad you like it!
While exploring our Up North Michigan marshland a little more this winter, put in a few stakes to measure water height, I found an old ATV trail from our big island to the smaller string of islands and found and old deer tree stand there. Water level is highest in the winter, lowest in late summer. In our township, there are a lot of acres in the marsh. Some private, some state -owned public lands, and mostly national forest. I am trying to get bats established to eat the skeeters. Put up a bat camp-out area using roofing felt screwed to the tree trunk at about 20' high. Next trip will put up about 4 more bat camps. We have three derelict tree stands that need to be rescued, refurbished, and redeployed. My goal is to find a path from our marsh to the National Forest land that our property touches. Added a game cam to the little island, found rubs, and deer beds. We adopted the Ralwesian philosophy to not wear camo and carry a long gun off of my property. Carry concealed in jeans & regular shirt when not LARPing.
Having video essays on other environments eventually would be freaking awesome. Much better audio quality! Nice work.
Potentially
@@opfor8r I hope to see this on spotify some day.
@@tomrobinson7817 hahahah who knows, call Joe Rogan lol
Love to see you do the same for the Great Plains like Kansas Oklahoma and Nebraska
more knowledge bombs, this sh*t is awesome info dude. Thanks for the work and effort 🔥🔥🤙
Glad to help! Help spread the word!
added this link to the gram to spread the word 👍
Good content as always. Especially the part about different careers to pull people from.
Fording waterways has always been underrepresented. You might look into the different ways people, especially brown water guys, have added buoyancy to their kits.
Thank you! And absolutely, many people underestimate the trades that get placed out into the muck and how crafty those dudes can get.
Really good video. I had training similar to this with my unit. Good information
Awesome!!!
Gotta watch "Band of the Hand" 80's movie about an SF veteran who takes troubled teens into the Everglades to learn survival and teamwork.
Grew up and live in the swamps, if you know what you’re doing and are familiar with the areas it’s definitely a good area to disappear into. Definitely agree that navigation can be a pain though, as the waters and landmarks can change frequently depending on the weather/ season/ and animals like beaver
Water moccasins are my biggest issue in the warm weather though. Trying to move quiet when one falls out of a tree is not exactly easy lol
@@dylankermon776 Ive always been the most wary about rattlesnakes, almost stepped on one twice. Water moccasins are definitely not great to come across.
@@opfor8r We don’t see too many rattlesnakes around here honestly, but moccasins are a dime a dozen. In a span of 2 hours busting beaver dams one night I killed 7 moccasins. Not a fun time
What are your thoughts on boot gators for the swamp?
They dont help against anything once you start experiencing deep water
Do you train with other people in your area?
No comment :)
I’m in S FL ✋🏽
