This week, Hard Times Strong Men Podcast remembers all of the victims and heroes of 9/11.
We wanted to share with y'all a few of the literally thousands of stories of men and women rising above themselves to be light and strength and courage to their fellow man.
We despise the cowards who perpetrated these attacks on our countrymen.
We love and celebrate the heroes that these attacks put into action.
We will not forget.
We will never forget.
We made a promise, and we intend to keep it.
Our heartfelt sympathies to all of the families of those who have lost loved ones because of the senseless attacks on 9/11, and the subsequent War on Terror.
Our deepest gratitude to all of our first responders and service members who continue to serve their communities and country.
Times are Hard. Be Stronger.
Stay In The Fight.

6 and 7 are back with another Dadisode. This time, it's addressing something that usually goes unaddressed and often overlooked: the mental load during the holidays and what can only be described as passivity. There's a lot that can be done to alleviate the stress and workload that comes with making the Christmas season magical for others. We go over a lot of that in this episode.

On this week's Dadisode, the guys talk through the basics of how to drive a stick (manual transmission)!
While we did our best to give our insight in the most detailed way possible, this is a skill that must be learned by doing. So, reach out to your Dad, your uncle, your friend, anyone who drives a stick, and get them to teach you. This skill is dying out, which means you need it.
Stay safe, and Stay In The Fight.

This week we cover the Hunter-Killer Team and Squad, our take on the Hunter-Killer concept. Typically, the Hunter-Killer team is seen in the sniper-spotter pair or anti-armor / anti-air teams. We believe that the Hunter-Killer team can be well utilized by smaller, more decentralized forces. Goliath, meet David. The Hunter-Killer team has been well covered by multiple pages, this concept is nothing new, but we believe that utilizing and expanding on this framework can be a huge asset to smaller communities.

7 Reads the Christmas Story, detailing the birth of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, also called Immanuel, meaning, God with us.
Read from the Holy Bible, English Standard Version, in the book of Luke, chapter 2.
Luke 2: 1-20
The Birth of Jesus Christ
2 In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. 2 This was the first registration when[a] Quirinius was governor of Syria. 3 And all went to be registered, each to his own town. 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, 5 to be registered with Mary, his betrothed,[b] who was with child. 6 And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. 7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.[c]
The Shepherds and the Angels
8 And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. 10 And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”[d]
15 When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.” 16 And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. 17 And when they saw it, they made known the saying that had been told them concerning this child. 18 And all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart. 20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.

6 introduces a new series called "the Dad-isodes", where we teach you things you should have learned when you were younger, but maybe didn't. This episode focuses on how to change a flat tire.
6 and 7 take a hard look at fire. Bushcrafting/fieldcrafting considerations, the fire triangle, common fire lays, primitive building methods, and more!
6 and 7 discuss what they've done to prep some of the tools that they've bought from retail and commercial stores, and what they've repurposed from their time in the Army for use in the field. Prepping tools can mean saving time and energy when using them and having more time before having to replace parts due to degradation.
Take care of your tools, and they'll take care of you.
6 and 7 discuss the basics of map reading and features of a map in preparation for future land navigation classes
6 and 7 discuss their base kits that they carry on them before mission essential items are added.

6 and 7 explain what TCCC (Tactical Combat Casualty Care) is, why it is used by our military, and then dive into the first phase of TCCC; Care Under Fire.

Edit
Hey ya’ll, it’s 7 with Hard Times Strong Men. After feedback on, and review of, Episode 2 I need to address a mistake that I made. When describing the vascular system I said that your femoral artery is branched from the inferior vena cava. That is obviously false. The inferior vena cava, while part of the vascular system, is a vein. It transports deoxygenated blood from the body back to the heart. Arteries transport oxygenated blood from the heart to the body. So, to clarify and rectify; from the heart, blood travels through the abdominal aorta, branches at the iliac arteries, then to the femoral artery that I referenced, and on even farther. We always try to bring ya’ll the best, most accurate information that we can. We strive to remain above reproach, but we can never be above accountability. That being said, we’ll need to do a medical class here soon. As with everything, we’ll start at zero and build up. Stay safe, and be better.
