Here is to peace, love and wisdom. See all of you on the other side.

Happy Holidays, be safe and enjoy. Cheers to you

Having a grand ol time. A parameter that I like to see with folks I teach who concealed carry is to be able to draw from concealment and put 3 rounds on an A Zone target in under 3 seconds from approximately 5 yards. This is a good foundational point and proves the shooter has put in consistent time and training in. It generally will take up to a couple thousand rounds and consistent training to be able to do this. Are you able to hit that benchmark? #ccw #guns #gun #handgun #pistol #2a #selfdefense #firearms #firearmstraining #firearmsinstructor @gatorzeyewear

I'd say gratitude is something we could all be better about, regardless of political beliefs, age, race, sex etc. There is always plenty to be thankful for, even when it doesn't seem so.

Today I have chosen to make a post reminding people the origins of the word "apocalypse", which has origins in Latin meaning "to unveil, an uncovering of something". Or one might also look at is as a "de-occulting". We might argue that we are living through an apocalypse, and events like what happened today 22 years ago have facilitated that process. It is a slow, painful, but necessary process. Onward and forward. #911 #september11 #occult #occultism #awakening #spirituality #esoteric #greatawakeningworldwide #consciousness

The sight-in process doesn't have to be complicated. Especially on a shorter sight in such as the 36 yard zero I experimented with today. First time with an lpvo and I have to admit I'm digging it. 3 groups to sight in, first two shots way low right. Don't be afraid to make large corrections; on these I moved it about 12 clicks in each direction and it is a 1/2 moa adjustment. After this I had one more large correction to make, and I got lucky because I put all three rounds basically touching in the bullseye. After that is was all fun pinging some steel out to 550 yds. #ar15 #556 #longrangeshooting #precisionshooting #2a #2amendment #firearms #firearmstraining #gun #guns @aeroprecision #sigsauer

It's that time of year again. What I love about elk hunting is the extraordinary amount of effort it takes to pull a legit hunt together. It requires consistent physical training to be able to drag an elk out of rugged mountains on your back. Consistent practice and shooting with a rifle to get everything dialed in, collect DOPE, and feel confident to take that shot. And a hefty amount of gear and knowledge of how to use said gear to be able to handle what 12000ft will throw at you at the end of October in Colorado. Can't wait for this year's hunt!! #elk #elkhunting #elkhunter #hunting #hunter #rifle #longrangeshooting #colorado #rockymountains #fall

Man I like finding cool stuff. So many treasures nature offers, if you go and look #fossil #fossils #ammonite #southwest #desert #colorado #rockymountains #summer #archaeology

Wetterhorn peak summit from west fork Cimarron. This was my first real hike of the summer, been a little lazy 😬 and I paid for it lol. Not going to lie, this one kicked my ass pretty good. I've done this hike before off 1 hour of sleep and for some reason, this time it was even harder. Approx 14.5 miles round trip, and close to 5000ft elevation gain. Glad to have a couple solid dudes join me @jack.m.taylor #hiking #backpacking #14er #rockymountains #rockies #colorado #summer #camping #outdoors #greatoutdoors #nature #wildlife #mountains

Backcountry awareness. Exploring nature is one of my favorite things to do, but there are of course always some risks. Here are some good general precautions: -Tell someone where you're going -Have more "stuff" than you think you need (clothing, food, water, emergency supplies -Carry medical, and carry REAL medical not just a booboo pouch. Know how to use it -Be aware of your surroundings and be careful about pushing your limits too far. Challenge yourself, but get home alive to share the story. -Carry a means of self protection and know how to use it, whether it be a gun, spray etc. Enjoy nature and enjoy it safely!! -URS #nature #colorado #summer #mountains #sanjuanmountains #rockymountains #wildlife #wilderness #hiking #backpacking #outdoors

Something I have been working on lately that I think we can all be better at: gratitude. I'm grateful I live in such a beautiful place, I'm grateful nature is such a great teacher, I'm grateful for awesome friends and awesome family, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to grow and better myself every day. #nature #colorado #outdoors #outdoorsman #rockymountains #mountains #desert #elk #wildlife

Awesome camping trip in SW Colorado this weekend! As we move into the seasons of outdoor activity, here are some things to keep in mind: Who are you going with? How far? Do you have maps? What will the weather be like? Do you have appropriate clothing, enough food and water (plus extra), and a means of sleeping comfortably, even in cold temps? How about medical? Do you have a GOOD medical kit and some basic knowledge of how to use what's inside it? Will there be cell service? What will you do if an emergency happens or even an inconvenient situation? Are you prepared? Stay safe and enjoy what nature has to offer! #nature #outdoors #greatoutdoors #mountains #camping #hiking #backpacking #colorado #overlanding #4x4 #rockymountains #survival #prepared #preparedness

Yearly ice fishing trip at a 11,500ft elevation lake. Always a great time, good company, yummy food and drink, and some interesting conversations.

Finishing off 2022 in Maui, Hawaii. Not a bad place to be. 2022, and the few years before it, have been challenging to say the least. But without challenge, there is no growth. These last few years have tested me in many ways, but I'd say I have become a better person because of it. I still have a long ways to go, and I will never let myself stop growing, but looking back, I have to remember I have also come a long ways. I seek growth physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. To be lacking in any of these areas is to be incomplete. We have so much potential as humans, and I look forward to continued growth with all of you. Thanks for being with me on this journey. #newyear #newyearresolution #2022 #growth #growthmindset #selfimprovement #selfsufficient #selfsufficiency

Being fit is essential to living a healthy, balanced life of well being. It also is a key to being self-sufficient and being a "prepper". How will you take care of others if you don't take care of yourself? How will you help in an emergency if you are huffing and puffing and can't handle a demanding situation? Get out there and find what works for from an exercise standpoint and keep at it! #gym #fitness #workout #workoutmotivation #fitnessmotivation #calisthenics #weightlifting #exercise

A little over a month ago a hunter died in our area. I made this presentation in light of him and others who have found themselves in trouble while enjoying the outdoors. #camping #hiking #backpacking #nature #greatoutdoors #backcountry #hunting

Fun scout for our upcoming 1st rifle elk hunt here in Colorado. We experienced just about every kind of weather possible: sunshine with nice temps, heavy rain, hail, and thundersnow, culminating to some of the most epic views we have ever had! Good thing we came prepared with proper gear. Just because it is nice weather at home doesn't mean it can't get nasty at 12000ft! Saw a few groups of elk out in the evening, just weren't able to get any good footage. #elk #elkhunting #hunt #hunting #Colorado #fall #rockymountains #biggamehunting

Elk season draws oh so near. Thunder and lightning all night last night with snow. Hiked up here in a tshirt. Gotta be ready for anything when you play in the big mountains #elk #elkhunting #hunting #biggamehunting #Colorado #fall #mountains #nature #snow #aspens #naturephotography #photography

Elk hunting is much more than the moment the bullet or arrow strikes the animal. It takes time, effort, and strategy to scout, put boots on the ground, find out where they hang out and then plan the logistics for the actual hunt. But of course, that is what makes it so awesome right? #elk #elkhunting #elkcountry #hunting #biggamehunting #Colorado #fall

Gun show went GREAT this weekend! Met tons of awesome folks and had a really nice time interacting with people. I also have to give myself credit for behaving and not buying any new guns. The temptation was there.. some of the biggest sellers were the Kore Gunbelts @koreessentials , Quickdraw converted @spyderco_inc knives with help from @oneasteriskindustries , and the double rifle cases from @saviorequipment .
