  • #108 Mental Fortitude and Grit with Army Ranger Ryan Tibben

    Ryan Tibben, the Founder and CEO of Alert Plan Training Systems LLC, has dedicated over 19 years to the profession of arms and the study of small unit tactics.  Ryan spent 9 years in a Long Range Surveillance Unit assigned to a 6-man team.  He started as a Scout Observer and worked his way to a Team Leader.   During this period, he successfully completed the U.S. Army Reconnaissance and Surveillance Leader Course (RSLC), a program focused on the mastery of reconnaissance fundamentals and the inherent dismounted/mounted small unit tactics.  Additionally, Ryan went on to attend and graduate from the U.S. Army Ranger School.  Transitioning to light infantry, he used the skills he learned in training during 3 tours in Afghanistan with leadership experiences including Squad Leader of an infantry squad and Assistant Team Leader in a non-standard 4-man element.  Ryan went on to serve as a U.S. Army Ranger Instructor, teaching over 2,000 soldiers the art of small unit tactics.

  • #106 US Marine to Fieldcraft Farmer, Fantastic Story

     If you like a good story that starts out rough and points towards success this is it.  We begin with Jon Turner and his service as a US Marine and land on his family farm in Vermont several years later.  Helping kids learn how to handle single-digit cold and love it, utilizing and teaching others how to take plants and animals from field to fork, and demonstrates how one good Marine and others like him, can transition from military life and the rigors that go with it to life outside of the setting. I must say, it still looks a lot like service to me.

  • #103 Western Hunting and Hill People Gear

    Many in the NRS community are fans of the Hill People Gear brand packs, kit bags, and more.  In this podcast, Craig interviews Casey Gorsett, brand ambassador, and Kevin McDowell, director of marketing for HPG.  We specifically wanted these guys on to discuss big game hunting in the Rocky Mountains and they did that very well.  Casey is a well-experienced hunter and Kevin is new to hunting so this offered a wonderful opportunity to get their perspectives on the ins and outs of hunting out there which is very different than what we experience in the Eastern Woodlands.  We talk about the terrain, weather, gear, and packing those big critters out.  We certainly did not ignore our common use of HPG gear and how that benefits them in this type of hunting and backcountry travel.
