If you do, don't look for "highway 93" (30 seconds into the video). That's highway 95 that runs "from the Canadian border, down through Idaho, and clear on down to Mexico. Besides, the guy hinted that was the Salmon River beside that highway in the picture. The main fork (the middle fork) of the Salmon runs east to west across Idaho. Highway 95 runs north and south - on the west side of the state mostly. o_O

Sorry folks. I know the above paragraph has nothing to do with what the video is probably about. It's just that when that guy started off with a couple of blatant falsehoods, I couldn't get into the rest of the video. :thumbdown:
74 years old - born and raised in Idaho - 19 years beside highway 95 - and probably 10 years in Salmon River country if you combine all of the time spent hunting, fishing, camping and backpacking there

Edited to say I was wrong - part of highway 93 out of Canada does run through Idaho (after passing through Montana) and on down to Mexico (eventually). And it runs through Salmon, Idaho near the Salmon River.
It's highway 95 that's the most well-known highway that runs clear from Canada, down thru Idaho, and on down to Mexico thru Oregon and Nevada. Years ago, National Geographic did almost an entire magazine about highway 95 and the people that live along it.

Hear ya!

And the opening screen shot of a man standing like a "silhouette target" is a deadly sin all it's own.
Don't know when the make yourself a full target like you shoot at and move like a robot became the way to do it but whatever! Me? Old school like Bill Jordan.
 
There are examples in the video, but here's the TL;DR version
1. train for probability rather than every possibility
2. practice what you suck at rather than what you are good at
3. get a good grip on gun in holster and keep a firm firing grip
4. don't try to buy skill. Practice, practice, practice.
5. speed is less important than accuracy
6. don't tune your gun to the point that it doesn't work [first time every time]
7. carrying a gun is not a lucky charm.

Can't disagree with anything listed here. I doubt I'd have any disagreement with the order either, but I'll look again when my head is working right.
 
Funny, I just watched this on fridaFriday. I really enjoy the videos of Ken and Mas. These guys have been there, done that and got the t-shirt. They know what works and what doesn't, been witness to all the fads and seen the real deals blaze the trail for the rest of us......

That's an issue everywhere.

I can't disagree with the list posted.
The one thing I find every bit as important if not more so than skill with a gun is being able to defuse situations by being aware and able to calmly talk to people during stressful situations.
@The Glockodile made an excellent point also.

I have benefited numerous times from my exceptionally heightened tactical cowardice...

...I can run with very high survivability from threats, as opposed to quickdraw warrioristas who face a much higher chance of death or debility!

Duck, duck, go and run! :rofl:

Like the wind!

I managed to watch the entire thing, something I seldom manage to do with youtube videos. I have some advise for the bearded dude. If you think things have changed a lot for you because you are 75 just add 10 years to that. Then you will have to squeeze that grip with everything you have because you don't have much left at all. :notworthy: I also agree with the chubby guy about Glocks and 1911s. Glocks feel wrong, 1911s feel right.
 
Micro red dots on pistols are the biggest game changer in carry pistols in the past 80 years. So much faster and less user error for an average shooter vs short radius iron sights.

Ummm... I think that was about US-93 also. "Pray for me, I drive 93"

US 93 never gets to Mexico, its southern end is in Wickenburg.
 
93 runs through the best parts of Nevada. I drove it from Las Vegas to Ely in June, I really liked everything from Pahanarat (sp?) Wildlife refuge up to Hwy 50/6. :thumbup:

Stay safe.
