It's a damn shame that you were demonitized.. Thank you for continuing to post your videos they are always on point and very informative. We appreciate you Mike 👍😎🇺🇲
Many of our fellow 2a guys like to think of Fox News as pro-2a institution, and that may be (individual news anchors). However, Murdoch, owner of Fox, NY POST, WSJ ect, spent years having his newspapers cover how irresponsible it was for You Tube to monetize gun videos ect (PewDiePie just got the most coverage). They manufactured consent for You Tubes 'addpocalypse', YT didn't want to do that, it cost them a lot of revenue. The reality is, cable news and newspapers are a dying industry, so Murdoch was trying to keep his business interests relevant. In the UK and Australia, Murdoch owns 80-85% of ALL the national press (papers and cable). He put so much pressure on Australian legislators that they passed a law saying You Tube/Facebook, by law, have to pay Murdoch's companies the same rate for a television ad, but on You Tube.*=10-15 times more money for the same ad on a different YT channel.
The Asian Glove got demonetized? He must have said something based on evidence developed from facts that were not in agreement with feelings. That would be my guess.
@Adam Alexander Agree with you not wearing a headlamp during a gun fight. However I suspect he is implying using it in low visibility situations, such as traversing during a power outage, or perhaps walking a dark path at night, or map reading at dark, etc. I do not mean to be rhetoric when I say this one thing, Mike would not stop in a gun battle to wear a headlamp. I do not believe that is his message Adam. Also, a side note... Using a headlamp instead of a hand held flashlight, will free the use of both hands.
Adam Alexander common sense would say that he’s smart enough not to wear it on his head during a gun fight... I’m sure he has one light source because he’s trying to stay light and not have too much stuff, and he can hold it in his hand while doing lowlight gun work and then turn around and wear it for utility stuff
I took up ju jitsu at 54. I’m probably 20 years older than most dudes in the class. One of the reasons I do it is building and maintaining resilience. At a bare minimum you become much more accustomed to full contact struggle, in a relatively safe training environment.
There's a lot of wisdom in there, man. A huge part of prepping for bad situations is getting used to "the suck." Lifting heavy weights. Rolling in BJJ for an hour. Long rucks. Fast runs. You gotta get used to that suffering, and it grows and prepares you in more ways than just the physical. Keep it up, man.
Agree; just the fact of almost every session having a younger, faster, stronger, larger, person on top of you, and training to escape/defend from that situation, very valuable.
I'm 55 and over the last few months have really stepped up my physical training too. I have to work twice as hard as I did 20 years ago just to achieve the same goal! 10 years ago I was doing Krav Maga,not only was I the oldest one there,but also the only woman,most were ex military men,or cops lol. Good to hear someone else in our age group stepping it up ! High 5.... !!
Glover... dude... I hope you never stop keeping us all in the loop and will to teach us, even if it’s repeated... I can watch your vids covering same things and learn something new every time!!! Thank you sir!!!
His classes are far FAR cheaper than most people out there. Travis Haley charged 3.5-4x as much as him. Yet people pay it all because of his name. I know we all have different levels of fiscal bandwidth,
You’re the first person who actually went into what mental resiliency looks like, and how to build it. Most people just say “mindset” and everyone nods their head like they know what that means. Appreciate you Mike.
Hey Mike. Thanks for the vid man. All you others too. Brilliant. I served years back as an Operator in the South African Special Forces at 4 Special Forces Regiment. In the past year or so I’ve been getting my shit back together fitness and preparedness wise. I’ve got a son and 3 little girls and they are my responsibility big time. Watching all your stuff has really helped me a lot. I’ve been telling a lot of my buddies about your stuff. Thanks a lot Mike.
I have built up 4 bug out bags (BOB), one for each adult in the house, each one contains different survival gear. Ready to go any minute. Took me years to build them up by purchasing a few items at a time.
Thanks for your service. And i really wish i had the money to take one of your courses. Im a father of four working two jobs. And i pass the lessons on to my kids that you teach here.thanks again
I have 35 years in law enforcement, urban street cop, federal agent with experience overseas in protective operations and criminal investigations. You are always on point and are providing necessary information in a changing world and society. Keep up the good fight brother.
Mike, thanks for your military service and your service of teaching us, regular ole civilians how to better ourselves. I've learned a ton just from your YT videos and am very appreciative of them! Keep up the great work, sir!!
Mike , I really like you videos, I get a lot from them. To any of the people giving you crap they can all FO! I appreciate how you explain things. I will be 65 this year and you keep me trying, thanks!
Just subbed. You are absolutely right. Being prepared is about mindset and lifestyle. Though being huge computer and gaming nerd, I've always loved outdoor stuff like backpacking and camping, but didn't get into low key prepping until roughly 7 years ago. 2015 My journey in being prepared for myself and mine was a slow and steady one. My first hurdle was my change in world view and how I viewed myself. Then I learned about how our monetary system really works. Those three things pushed me in the prepping direction: ditching victimhood, realizing my potential/purpose, and knowing how our monetary system truly functions. 2017 I began stacking everything I could. Food, water medical, tobacco and alcohol to trade, PM's, etc. I was even stacking ammo even though I didn't have a gun... Yet. Looking back on it, I saved so much money by buying my supplies at yesterday's prices. 2019 My second hurdle was getting my first firearm. I used to fear the gun - the tool/weapon itself. I was never openly against guns, but I believed that things would be better with less of them around. Thank God those days are over. I watched days of videos from many channels, yours included. Finally, I felt I knew enough to safely hold a gun and went to my local gun shop. No lie, I was both nervous and excited when I filled out the 4473. All that nervousness just for a single six Heritage Rough Rider revolver, ha ha. Today, I'm on the verge of needing a new locker and love gun socks. I've also fallen down the rabbit hole of gunsmithing - so much so that I'm entertaining the idea of checking out SDI for classes. From useless gaming nerd to chef, prepper and gunsmith. Not too bad, I'd say. I will say this: though I have changed and grown in many ways, the two constants in my life are my love for my country and God. Those will never change. Sorry for the long story, but I had to share because I am living out the points you've made in your video. Thanks for making it. Take care and God bless you!
I’ve learned so much from Mike Glover. Even bought my first gun, Glock 17, on the information he provided in his videos. Damn shame you are demonetized sir but I imagine I’m not the only one who has benefited from the great knowledge you share on your channel. Hope you keep it up sir.
Hey brother. Thanks for the video. I don't get involved with what's going on because there is no organized resistance to the chaos. If the police aren't welcome then a vigilante group DEFINITELY isn't. I try to spread positive Vibes wherever I go and I don't see any outrage or troublemaking in South Florida. I feel pretty proud of my community. So far, so good. I'm happy to have you out here with your voice of encouragement and reason. Stay blessed. 😎👍
Everyone should be able to share good things, like YOU DO, on TH-cam & other social media outlets... Thank you for all you've done & all you continue to do! God bless...
Mike don't stop being who you are and thank you for helping other's and myself personally...I appreciate your intellect and respect your thoughts and feelings about helping others that wanna be better prepared for the uncertainty in a world that is so unpredictable....
MG- It's clear you have a heart for people, your work and our nation. Mindset is where it's at! No BOB,BUG or EDC can take the place of a proper mindset. I believe having the proper mindset, except in the most catastrophic events, is all we need. It should be exercised daily just like other necessary skills. Thank you for leading off this video and others with a mindset check. Peace to you and your family and thank you for imparting your knowledge and wisdom to us on a regular basis.
Thank you for your service, Mike! I am interested in figuring out how to be a survivor. Although at my age helping others survive by being a decoy is perfectly find with me. Sending love your way.
Thank you for the help and knowledge that you are giving based upon your knowledge and expertise. What you are doing is invaluable to many, many people.God Bless you and your family.
Thanks Mike for another great vid....Your'e always focused, analytical and not getting lost in the "noise" always keeping the "Big Picture" in the forefront.....Please continue to speak your mind and your truth....!
Thank you for sharing your mindset on survival Mike! Cognitive behavior is so important in everyday life and in traumatic events. Watching your videos and applying the information has helped me in so many ways! Thank you Mike and the whole FieldCraft Survival Team! God bless!
Friday I put a gash in my scalp at work when my head hit the cage of my shop fan. Crazy how much a scalp wound bleeds. Grabbed a blue shop paper towel to apply pressure and clean up and it was not enough. Another shop towel and a Military OD green Sling/bandage I carry and tied the towel down and knotted it under my jaw. I looked like an idiot but I stopped the bleeding.
Mike, Thank you for the time you take to help people achieve readiness at a higher level of proficiency. I am an out dated ranger batt guy and your words and explanation of stress was well put, thank you. I have forgotten about everything from way back when, you really know you're stuff and I appreciate these vids. RLTW.
Brotha man, keep doing what you do. Monetization or not. Someone much greater than me once said “your only currency and value in life is the effect that you have on other people.” You’re making a positive impact in peoples lives my friend.
Thank you for the directness of your page. It is helpful, without being offensive. Very practical, because you had the training. Look forward to more guidance from your side.
Love watching your videos and listening to you talk. You give a lot of great points that remind us to think. I used to keep a jump bag in my car, at home, and at work. Haven't done that in a while, I don't work EMS anymore and have just fallen out of practice doing that with moves and other life things. I need to get get back into the habit of having a ready bag. Look forward to watching more of you guys' videos and hopefully attending some of your trainings at some point. It drives me a little nuts with the crazy censoring. Thanks for all that you do and all that you and your group will continue to do. You make me laugh sometimes with how you make side comments on what you do and such, love that way that you seem so real and "approachable".. . ..thanks Mike for making all this "stuff" down to earth and sensible.
I have that EDC bag (Atom) thanks to you in a video you had about a year ago and I love it, carries everything I need. Thanks Mike for all you do man... it's AWESOME 👌 👍👍🇺🇸
I really appreciate the advice on staying resilient during stressful situations. Coming from a guy like you, helps reinforce these practices when I feel like my anger is about to get the best of me.
I appreciate your posts brother. you've gained a new subscriber in me. you have great delivery, and I can definitely buy into the information you have to offer.
The last time I flew in 2004, they ask me if I had any weapons on me at the check in, being honest I thought a bit and replied, "Nothing I can think of but this pen (pointed to my shirt pocket where Stainless Steel Ballpoint always resides) and my belt buckle." They immediately took me to a secluded room and searched me and my luggage.
Three critical aspects of mindset (all sort of the same thing) : stoicism, accepting things on their own terms, and flexibility. This is all equals resilience, rolling with the punches, and being robust (insensitivity to conditions, maintaining an even strain). This all requires getting the ego to loosen it's grip.
Mike you do great work and have amazing content. Thank you for doing this even without the monetization. We cant let the left win and we all must work together.
Excellent video and thank you so much for continuing to post your videos on TH-cam even though you have been completely demonetized. It is a shame that TH-cam doesn't see the value of you and amazing men like you who are trying to teach everyone how to survive and be able to be proficient and do what needs to be done at that critical moment. a couple other major thing's I carry in my EDC are goggles and Doggles for my Maligators, some really good eye drops and some chapstick.
Well said my man. I always emphasize knowing how to use your kit but also BE ABLE TO, far to many guys feel prepared when they couldn't run to the mailbox without taking a knee. Number one fail with most prepaid citizens is their fitness.. Thanks for all the great info brother
Thank you for all the videos the content the endless wealth of knowledge and perspective that you provide! I always learn something and enjoy the videos thank you sir take care!
Pretty good talking points on keeping your brain in the fight and low grade vs high grade stress. The best framework I have for high stress situations is medical experience. You have to mentally compose your shit and exhibit calm deliberate actions. Sometimes your hanging onto a situation that is spiraling out of control by a thread. It could be hard to draw parallels with a tactical lifestyle from some civilian occupations, but I'm glad I was able to learn how to think under pressure. Keep your head in the fight!
If social media ever gets re-categorized as a utility, then the First Amendment will apply. Right now, they can do whatever they want, which is sad. Thanks for keeping the info coming. These coordinates (34.54185° N, -112.468704° E) are safer because of people like you, Mike. Thanks for all you do.
Love the content. Learning a lot from this channel. Note: Social media companies are private corporations and have terms of services users agree to and have the choice whether or not to utilize the platforms. Private corporations have a right to decide how the platform is used. The first amendment doesn’t apply here. You are free not to use it. It’s not a publicly funded utility that are subject to regulation . Keep up the good work. Great info.
And yet,the spend large amounts of money doing everything they can to prevent any new,upstart social media platforms from succeeding,so that we,literalky,have no choice but to use THEIR platform! Last I heard GAB is STILL being denied the access to a downloadable app.......
thank you sir for everything that you do. like mom says " cover your bases" . so that when something that was unplanned happens you can focus on that problem.
I recently bought a Patagonia atom sling. One carried it once on a day out, but it’s a super comfortable small bag with plenty of room for a few additional items and even a fleece or jumper.
Keep it up Mike, this is great stuff! As much as they try to keep you down, they see the numbers of channels with similar mindset. And know it’s suicide if they take all of you off the playing field. Cheers-southwest Michigan!
Your exactly right. It’s a one way street and like minded people like us are being told that we’re going the wrong way When we are the many and they are the few They are very fortunate We are showing these fools such restraint, keep it up
Great video, much respect for you brother. Great point that you dont know really how you will react in stressful situations. In February my wife had some cardiac events and almost died. I am a gulf war veteran and though that that kind if thing I would be okay. I was mistaken I freaked out at first, but then composed up had to do CPR but thank god she is good got her squared now. Stress will kick you in the but if you dont learn how to work within it.
Hi Mike, I live in Kansas and the news here is saying that Arizona is going through a large serge of Covid 19. Hope you are all doing well. I enjoy your information. keep up the good work and stay safe.
Thank you for emphasis n Med gear, most people i know always worry bout everything BUT med gear and tell me the only reason i do is my years as an EMT. Thing that gets me is a basic medical course is going to cost you less than the equivalent in weapon training of any kind and has a much higher chance at actually preserving and saving life. That said I do run belt knife (they just beat out the folding jobs in nearly every category by such huge margins it is worth it to me) as well as a decent sidearm, though what i consider decent based on experience research and actually using one before i committed to buying it (yes it s VERY important to get time on any given firearm BEFORE you buy one if at all possible) add on to that i swapped out to a different caliber etc with my current sidearm etc which also adds to it. Also thank you for mentioning comfort and that carrying is an always thing not a sometimes thing, both matter a great deal and it is very nice to hear somebody being realistic on that point. Lastly just want to add that having multiple different types of EDC setup in terms of belt or a bag etc again really matters and i rarely if ever hear this mentioned, I have 3 basic setups which are 100% on-body 100% bag and mixing and matching the two so everything i carry is still at hand yet reasonable with what i happen to be wearing or am at or the weather that day etc. Nice to know i am not some wierdo because i keep a mini-kit on my person and have complete kits both in my car and several in my home...
Im a 52 year old woman who was an Army brat my whole childhood. I have a couple guns but must be better prepared with all this shit going on. This is the first video I've seen by you but I've subscribed and plan to definitely keep watching!! Oh your show with shaun was great!!!
Mike, as far as I can see, no one has addressed how a person on a walker or power scooter/wheel chair could better protect themselves when TSHTF. Maybe you could go there?
I’m sure you rather have Mike’s opinion or someone with his background, but You def want to stay vigilant with firearms training/shooting if you have that physical capability. A positive you can def carry more gear, weapons and medical equipment for yourself and others, just not so much equipment that it will slow you down further. Not saying you or others have this mindset but, Never see yourself as a liability or a detriment to those around bc then you have already mentally defeated yourself and those around you! Try to camouflage your chair or scooter to the surrounding wildlife area you will be staying in and moving through. Just some simple ideas. Please Don’t hesitate to ask others who are trusted and like minded to help you with any type of preparation or training. You def will need a wolf pack around for a multitude of reasons, we all do! Your mind will always be your best asset Sir, get more knowledgeable on medical, farming, hunting/gathering non-poisonous food, and tactics.
Hi Old.John, a few ideas on a how to protect yourself is, check out what your area offers as far as firearms training that is accessible, if that is the route that you want to go. Krav Maga one route that you can look into for self defence. Also you can look into just basic self defence classes in your area, sometimes the police departments will give a cheep/free class to the senior centers around here .You probably have a bug out bag already but some things that you might want in it are.Pepper spray, a good flashlight (I like the Makhaira Tactical) A good Pen that you can use as a striking tool. At the end of the day you can use just about anything as a tool to extend your reach. A pot of boiling water, a cast iron skillet, a hammer etc. use what you got. Other things you should have with you in your bag are Medications, what ever you will need for a full day, if you have space 3 days. Depending on what you need, aspirin is pretty easy to carry Catheters and insulin take up more room. Some kind of shelter a poncho, tarp even a jacket can help, Water or some way of cleaning and carrying water, Food. granola bars, mre's I have found that mayday emergency food rations are light and don't take a lot of space but a cliff bar takes even less.(Gummy bears) Buy a few different kinds and taste them, some of them are not to bad some of them taste like dirt. A multi tool, If you are in a wheelchair or your loved one is, look into how to fix it before you need it and if it takes special tools, The same thing goes with your walker or power scooter. If all you need is a spoon all of the knifes in the world aren't going to help you.A good bag to have is a fanny pack, or a pack like what Mike has in this video that way you can keep you stuff on you. Knowledge weighs nothing, Keep learning! I hope that this helps you.
Liberal social media clearly intends to silence the voices of those that don't align to their beliefs. Please do not succumb to their pressure. You are an honorable person disseminating valuable information and training on skills that we all need to survive in a challenging and sometimes dangerous world. Thank you for what you do.
It is very important to test your limits with as close to live environment training as possible. When I was 15 my father had a major heart attack. My step mother at the time was a certified EMT. When my father collapsed my step mother freaked out and went in to complete panic. At 15 years oldbI performed CPR that I had learned not even a month ago in health class in high school. Until you are in a stressful situation you do not truly know how you will respond. You dont want to wait until a loved ones life is depending on you to find out you dont have what it takes.
Always great content. Thank you for the information you put out and for the products you have. Still need some time for the training courses. Much appreciation from NE AZ

His demonization has given him more credibility than he could’ve have ever acquired by just promoting himself.
You're helping a lot of people. I know this goes without saying but please don't ever stop what you're doing Mike.

Are you still in SA? Be careful down there.
This is officially, and by far, my favorite channel on TH-cam.
Keep up the good work, Mike. You are one of the best across the board instructors I have found. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

Do free people need leaders?
@@readrothbard153 Free people are not gods. Even free people have limitations, because every person has limitations.

Eh I beg to differ. Ever since he made that comment about the ar having negative recoil, everything he says kinda goes in one ear and out the other.
@@judjudersawn2596 doesn't really answer the question. Free peoples limitations are the separate and equal rights of others.

Your awesome man keep up the fight, I appreciate you and others like you taking the time to do these videos.
Thanks Mike for your knowledge!!
Thank you for sharing your mindset on survival Mike! Cognitive behavior is so important in everyday life and in traumatic events. Watching your videos and applying the information has helped me in so many ways! Thank you Mike and the whole FieldCraft Survival Team! God bless!
Speak your mind brother. We the non- sheeple are listening! Thanks for videos
Friday I put a gash in my scalp at work when my head hit the cage of my shop fan. Crazy how much a scalp wound bleeds. Grabbed a blue shop paper towel to apply pressure and clean up and it was not enough. Another shop towel and a Military OD green Sling/bandage I carry and tied the towel down and knotted it under my jaw. I looked like an idiot but I stopped the bleeding.
Thank you for continuing to share your knowledge and your commitment to educating every day warriors
Mike, Thank you for the time you take to help people achieve readiness at a higher level of proficiency. I am an out dated ranger batt guy and your words and explanation of stress was well put, thank you. I have forgotten about everything from way back when, you really know you're stuff and I appreciate these vids. RLTW.
Brotha man, keep doing what you do. Monetization or not. Someone much greater than me once said “your only currency and value in life is the effect that you have on other people.” You’re making a positive impact in peoples lives my friend.
Please continue posting Mike. With respect, from London, U.K.
Thank you for the directness of your page. It is helpful, without being offensive. Very practical, because you had the training. Look forward to more guidance from your side.
Love watching your videos and listening to you talk. You give a lot of great points that remind us to think. I used to keep a jump bag in my car, at home, and at work. Haven't done that in a while, I don't work EMS anymore and have just fallen out of practice doing that with moves and other life things. I need to get get back into the habit of having a ready bag. Look forward to watching more of you guys' videos and hopefully attending some of your trainings at some point. It drives me a little nuts with the crazy censoring. Thanks for all that you do and all that you and your group will continue to do. You make me laugh sometimes with how you make side comments on what you do and such, love that way that you seem so real and "approachable".. . ..thanks Mike for making all this "stuff" down to earth and sensible.
Mike thank you and what your team doing for us!!
There are a lot of people that are willing to stand and fight, but we need leadership. Please keep doing what you are doing Mike.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge mr. Glover. Blessings for you and your family.
This was very helpful I appreciate what you're doing! And the mind set conversations are the most useful.
Keep them coming Mike, great words from a great American ! Thanks for the info
I have that EDC bag (Atom) thanks to you in a video you had about a year ago and I love it, carries everything I need. Thanks Mike for all you do man... it's AWESOME 👌 👍👍🇺🇸
I look forward to all you videos, Mike. We all appreciate it !
Hands down my favorite individual to listen to in the a.m! Your one hell of a man! Thank you
I really appreciate the advice on staying resilient during stressful situations. Coming from a guy like you, helps reinforce these practices when I feel like my anger is about to get the best of me.
I appreciate your posts brother. you've gained a new subscriber in me. you have great delivery, and I can definitely buy into the information you have to offer.
Moved to the free state of AZ because of this guy. Love the knowledge He puts out for free.
“It’s a pen - it’s a weapon, but it’s a pen” lmao
John Wick subbed.
@Ashley Stroebel But a lot shorter effective range. 😬
The last time I flew in 2004, they ask me if I had any weapons on me at the check in, being honest I thought a bit and replied, "Nothing I can think of but this pen (pointed to my shirt pocket where Stainless Steel Ballpoint always resides) and my belt buckle." They immediately took me to a secluded room and searched me and my luggage.

Three critical aspects of mindset (all sort of the same thing) : stoicism, accepting things on their own terms, and flexibility. This is all equals resilience, rolling with the punches, and being robust (insensitivity to conditions, maintaining an even strain). This all requires getting the ego to loosen it's grip.
Hair looks great Mike. Also your smooth mellow tones are quite soothing to the ear.
Mike you do great work and have amazing content. Thank you for doing this even without the monetization. We cant let the left win and we all must work together.
Excellent video and thank you so much for continuing to post your videos on TH-cam even though you have been completely demonetized. It is a shame that TH-cam doesn't see the value of you and amazing men like you who are trying to teach everyone how to survive and be able to be proficient and do what needs to be done at that critical moment. a couple other major thing's I carry in my EDC are goggles and Doggles for my Maligators, some really good eye drops and some chapstick.
Thanx for everything mike always gonna watch and try to be prepared 👍🏾👍🏾
Well said my man. I always emphasize knowing how to use your kit but also BE ABLE TO, far to many guys feel prepared when they couldn't run to the mailbox without taking a knee. Number one fail with most prepaid citizens is their fitness.. Thanks for all the great info brother
Always a head lamp! Happy to see that was the first thing out of the bag. I keep one in my bag and in my vehicles.
At 4minutes20 seconds. Is so true. Being resilient and knowing how you will perform under life/death situation is a key. Thx Mike
Thank you for your insight and for sharing your knowledge and skills during turbulent times.
I ordered one your holsters for 43X as soon as you described it.. specifically addressed the issues I have with my current holster!
Thank you for all the videos the content the endless wealth of knowledge and perspective that you provide! I always learn something and enjoy the videos thank you sir take care!
Mike always appreciate your videos thanks and thank you for your service much love much respect
Pretty good talking points on keeping your brain in the fight and low grade vs high grade stress. The best framework I have for high stress situations is medical experience. You have to mentally compose your shit and exhibit calm deliberate actions. Sometimes your hanging onto a situation that is spiraling out of control by a thread. It could be hard to draw parallels with a tactical lifestyle from some civilian occupations, but I'm glad I was able to learn how to think under pressure. Keep your head in the fight!
Keep fighting the good fight. Thanks
If social media ever gets re-categorized as a utility, then the First Amendment will apply. Right now, they can do whatever they want, which is sad.
Thanks for keeping the info coming. These coordinates (34.54185° N, -112.468704° E) are safer because of people like you, Mike. Thanks for all you do.
Love the content. Learning a lot from this channel.
Note: Social media companies are private corporations and have terms of services users agree to and have the choice whether or not to utilize the platforms. Private corporations have a right to decide how the platform is used. The first amendment doesn’t apply here. You are free not to use it. It’s not a publicly funded utility that are subject to regulation . Keep up the good work. Great info.
That's actually still up for debate. If they're a public forum, 1st amendment rights do apply. If a private platform, then they don't.
And yet,the spend large amounts of money doing everything they can to prevent any new,upstart social media platforms from succeeding,so that we,literalky,have no choice but to use THEIR platform! Last I heard GAB is STILL being denied the access to a downloadable app.......
Thank you for doing what you are doing, good role model for many.
Your IG videos have been on POINT! Thank you for all you do.
Excellent information as always thank you for your service and determination to educate people ❤
I was wondering where you guys disappeared too. Good to see a new video. Keep them coming.
This is golden. I wish everyone could listen to this one right here.
thank you sir for everything that you do. like mom says " cover your bases" . so that when something that was unplanned happens you can focus on that problem.
Dude start pumping out videos I could watch you every day man
Thx for feeding your community despite the politics of demonitization.
Hey Mike! Always look forward to watching a new video you put out!!!
I recently bought a Patagonia atom sling. One carried it once on a day out, but it’s a super comfortable small bag with plenty of room for a few additional items and even a fleece or jumper.
Keep it up Mike, this is great stuff! As much as they try to keep you down, they see the numbers of channels with similar mindset. And know it’s suicide if they take all of you off the playing field. Cheers-southwest Michigan!
Your exactly right. It’s a one way street and like minded people like us are being told that
we’re going the wrong way When we are the many and they are the few They are very fortunate
We are showing these fools such restraint, keep it up
Good video. Looking forward to the next. Thanks, Mike.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Mike. Very helpful.
Great video, much respect for you brother. Great point that you dont know really how you will react in stressful situations. In February my wife had some cardiac events and almost died. I am a gulf war veteran and though that that kind if thing I would be okay. I was mistaken I freaked out at first, but then composed up had to do CPR but thank god she is good got her squared now. Stress will kick you in the but if you dont learn how to work within it.
Hi Mike, I live in Kansas and the news here is saying that Arizona is going through a large serge of Covid 19. Hope you are all doing well. I enjoy your information. keep up the good work and stay safe.
You're the best Mike!! Keep up the good work.
Thank you, Glad we have people like you in AZ.
The atom pack is great but I switched to a bote sling pack. Its 100% water proof. Awesome video! Thank you for your service and keeping us informed.
I must say u r an amazing man Mr. Glover ❤️🙏🏼❤️🔥💪🏼😘💯
Thanks for the knowledge Mike!
Thank you for emphasis n Med gear, most people i know always worry bout everything BUT med gear and tell me the only reason i do is my years as an EMT. Thing that gets me is a basic medical course is going to cost you less than the equivalent in weapon training of any kind and has a much higher chance at actually preserving and saving life. That said I do run belt knife (they just beat out the folding jobs in nearly every category by such huge margins it is worth it to me) as well as a decent sidearm, though what i consider decent based on experience research and actually using one before i committed to buying it (yes it s VERY important to get time on any given firearm BEFORE you buy one if at all possible) add on to that i swapped out to a different caliber etc with my current sidearm etc which also adds to it. Also thank you for mentioning comfort and that carrying is an always thing not a sometimes thing, both matter a great deal and it is very nice to hear somebody being realistic on that point. Lastly just want to add that having multiple different types of EDC setup in terms of belt or a bag etc again really matters and i rarely if ever hear this mentioned, I have 3 basic setups which are 100% on-body 100% bag and mixing and matching the two so everything i carry is still at hand yet reasonable with what i happen to be wearing or am at or the weather that day etc. Nice to know i am not some wierdo because i keep a mini-kit on my person and have complete kits both in my car and several in my home...
Don’t give up mike. You help so many people
Im a 52 year old woman who was an Army brat my whole childhood. I have a couple guns but must be better prepared with all this shit going on. This is the first video I've seen by you but I've subscribed and plan to definitely keep watching!! Oh your show with shaun was great!!!
Mike, as far as I can see, no one has addressed how a person on a walker or power scooter/wheel chair could better protect themselves when TSHTF. Maybe you could go there?
Load that thing up with dynamite
thats a very good idea and one thats needed
But a gun and carry
I’m sure you rather have Mike’s opinion or someone with his background, but You def want to stay vigilant with firearms training/shooting if you have that physical capability. A positive you can def carry more gear, weapons and medical equipment for yourself and others, just not so much equipment that it will slow you down further.
Not saying you or others have this mindset but, Never see yourself as a liability or a detriment to those around bc then you have already mentally defeated yourself and those around you! Try to camouflage your chair or scooter to the surrounding wildlife area you will be staying in and moving through. Just some simple ideas.
Please Don’t hesitate to ask others who are trusted and like minded to help you with any type of preparation or training. You def will need a wolf pack around for a multitude of reasons, we all do! Your mind will always be your best asset Sir, get more knowledgeable on medical, farming, hunting/gathering non-poisonous food, and tactics.
Hi Old.John, a few ideas on a how to protect yourself is, check out what your area offers as far as firearms training that is accessible, if that is the route that you want to go. Krav Maga one route that you can look into for self defence. Also you can look into just basic self defence classes in your area, sometimes the police departments will give a cheep/free class to the senior centers around here .You probably have a bug out bag already but some things that you might want in it are.Pepper spray, a good flashlight (I like the Makhaira Tactical) A good Pen that you can use as a striking tool. At the end of the day you can use just about anything as a tool to extend your reach. A pot of boiling water, a cast iron skillet, a hammer etc. use what you got. Other things you should have with you in your bag are Medications, what ever you will need for a full day, if you have space 3 days. Depending on what you need, aspirin is pretty easy to carry Catheters and insulin take up more room. Some kind of shelter a poncho, tarp even a jacket can help, Water or some way of cleaning and carrying water, Food. granola bars, mre's I have found that mayday emergency food rations are light and don't take a lot of space but a cliff bar takes even less.(Gummy bears) Buy a few different kinds and taste them, some of them are not to bad some of them taste like dirt. A multi tool, If you are in a wheelchair or your loved one is, look into how to fix it before you need it and if it takes special tools, The same thing goes with your walker or power scooter. If all you need is a spoon all of the knifes in the world aren't going to help you.A good bag to have is a fanny pack, or a pack like what Mike has in this video that way you can keep you stuff on you. Knowledge weighs nothing, Keep learning! I hope that this helps you.
Liberal social media clearly intends to silence the voices of those that don't align to their beliefs. Please do not succumb to their pressure. You are an honorable person disseminating valuable information and training on skills that we all need to survive in a challenging and sometimes dangerous world. Thank you for what you do.
It is very important to test your limits with as close to live environment training as possible. When I was 15 my father had a major heart attack. My step mother at the time was a certified EMT. When my father collapsed my step mother freaked out and went in to complete panic. At 15 years oldbI performed CPR that I had learned not even a month ago in health class in high school. Until you are in a stressful situation you do not truly know how you will respond. You dont want to wait until a loved ones life is depending on you to find out you dont have what it takes.
A Raven Concealment wedge on the back of the holster is a game changer. Works well in conjunction with the claw.
Great educational video. Gave me some valuable pointers. Well done.
Thank you for what you do sharing this information with people Mike its much appreciated
Always great content. Thank you for the information you put out and for the products you have. Still need some time for the training courses. Much appreciation from NE AZ
