  • Mike Ritland and Shane Hiatt have been friends for a long time. Which is a surprisingly rare thing in the veteran community - the odds that two SEAL Team guys would run into each other again and again aren't quite as high as you might think. But Shane's a nomad - a wandering traveler, that's been living out of his truck with just his dog and the natural beauty of the American countryside for over 15 years.
    Fortunately, he's not just panning for change out there on the open road - Shane owns and operates SH9, an elite knife company that ships American-made products all over the world. So now that he's drifted into town again, Mike's gotta know - what's a former Navy SEAL looking for out there on the highway?

    The back-and-forth ball-busting is the best. I have not laughed that hard in a long time or maybe ever when it comes to Mike Drop. Keep up the work & much respect to you both.

    From the UK - Thank You Mike Ritland for ALL your podcasts - I have watched many on my admin day for my business - having the podcasts playing while it feels like I am throwing a chair up a highway is refreshing on that work day.

    The chemistry between you 2 is undeniable. You've known each other for so long and busting each others balls. I spit
    out my coffee on one occasion You guys are hilarious trying to one up each other. Loved every second of it.
    I enjoyed an earlier Visit from Shane I think it was Maybe 3 or 4 years ago, and was the same thing. So funny, it's great to see friends with that kind of a bond. You guys take care man.

    It's great to see a real guy. A lot of the younger ones I've seen on these shows kinda fit the stereotype. This man is so humble,and genuine. No blah blah blah about buds, and Hollywood stuff. I've known guys like him. I'm close to his age. Our generation didn't really prep for college,we smoked and drank and still played football and baseball. Most of our parents didn't stroke our egos. When it came to those things or even military training, I think most of us were just winging it. We didn't have the Internet to tell us how to train/ prepare for things like that. I believe we actually didn't even realize how bad some of the tougher things sucked. You went to the military, or to play sports,or whatever your path was,and you either did it or you didn't. We didn't have the same distractions that kids do today. Most of us had one phone,one TV, and maybe our parents had decent used cars. Honestly, I think we were just ignorant to how hard or dangerous or unlikely it was for us to succeed in certain things. It may have been a blessing in a way. A kid watches war movies and dreams of being that guy. He may have an idea that it's gonna be tough, but there's not all of this external dialogue to mess with his head. He gives the example of the guy that got booted out for being a drunk. The guy was a smoker,and also an animal physically. I also remember guys like that. These days they would be outcasts .

    Well if the Nomad wants to come out to the High Desert Of Calif. Or is passing through. I have a small Golf Course right down the way.. He can pitch a tent park his truck. Come and go as he pleases. I'm on the other side of LA Palmdale to the west of me.. On the 138 that runs EAST /West of the I-15 There is nothing but Joshua Trees Desert and mountains for miles around.. Serious he's always welcome. One Caveat, he must like dogs. ;-)

    I really hate to be this guy but I’ve seen this detailer showdown so many times I’ve tuned it out. I did nearly 22 years and spent 9 of those deployed. Broke my neck, crush my face in, destroyed left leg, and even contracted MERS.
    I PCS’d 10 times by 16 years in. The appropriate response to shit orders is to take them, then volunteer for a solicitation shortly after getting there if you do in fact dislike it.
    Walking away at 16.5yrs in is what we refer to in AA as “I’ll show you, I’ll hurt me”. I do appreciate the fact that you’re not impacting anyone else. I wish your leadership would have backed you up against the detailer. I’m happy you’re doing well, I just really hate to see shit like that go down. Especially with people who actually stepped up and gave 10 times more than 99% of people ever will.
