Episode 043: Building the Hard-to-Kill Human; Stage 2- Weapons Training
In this second installment of our series on becoming hard to kill, we begin our top-10 countdown of "hard-to-kill" skills. This week, we have a frank conversation about the role that weapons training can play in this. This topic almost didn't even make the cut for our discussion, but it's unavoidable in any conversation about survival, so let's get it out of the way right up front. As we discuss in the episode, I believe that any use of weapons should be the last and smallest piece of the puzzle when it comes to your personal safety. Should you choose to participate in any sort of weapons-related training though, we'll give you some great advice on where to look and how to get started.
