Apologies if everyone has seen this, but I found it helpful. I am guilty of a few of these sins, but I will focus on them and work to improve.
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.I want to go to Idaho!
I couldn't get into the rest of the video.
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.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.
jackpot! 93 runs down by my place in arizona, too.If you do, don't look for "highway 93" (30 seconds into the video).

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.
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.

That's an issue everywhere.If we could just find a way to keep Californians out.
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.

Ummm... I think that was about US-93 also. "Pray for me, I drive 93"years ago, National Geographic did almost an entire magazine about highway 95 and the people that live along it.
US 93 never gets to Mexico, its southern end is in Wickenburg.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).

I have (our daughter lives in Missoula), and "malfunction junction" is appropriately named.Try driving 93 in Missoula sometime, especially around malfunction junction.
