Today I decided to try and link up two separate old logging roads in the Mt. Garfield area. The first road, of which I am very familiar, is the access road to the Littleton town water supply on the east branch of the Gale River. On the opposite side of the stream and bit off to the west is a series of partially overgrown logging roads that appear to have been in heavy use several years ago…

The Universe Rebel Compound (URC) has about four acres in town, with a variety of forest, beaver swamp, stream, and open land which is conducive to training.

I’ve developed a safe way to practice rifle skills in an as real-world way as possible in the convenience of my backyard while actually putting lead down range. My efforts have been paying off.

No single theory better explains the tactical success of the observe-orient-decode-act-loop. It must be done fast when you unexpectedly meet an adverse opponent, in this way you can successfully defeat him and move on to your goal…

One of my favorite rifle exercises that can be safely performed on the Universe Rebel Compound (URC) is the practice of dry firing dummy rounds at imaginary targets.

In this article I will discuss my take on the importance of Dry Fire Practice, especially as pertains to learning how to use your magazines. The magazine portion is not trivial and I hope to convey to you something of its importance…

I say this often: real world experience has borne this out time and time again – the pitter-patter of small arms fire is all well and good. Music to my ears. Freedom in action. An armed population is a Free population…

This day I begin scouting the Mt. Surprise area of the Great North Woods. I parked my truck at the beginning of Bangor Street, near the Gorham / Shelburne town line and walked southerly up the logging road several hundred yards to the Portland Maine to Montreal Canada natural gas pipeline.

This morning I received an email from [John Doe, name changed] a veteran of Vietnam 1967 – 1968, disabled during his service. The following relates several emails between us: Thank you for caring, Mr. Rebel. I’m one of the 10% that did the fighting in Vietnam and this (Tyranny in America) is making me sick.
