That’s not how you cut a log with a chainsaw (cut the overhanging part or it binds) or how you solder a pipe (heat the joint, not the pipe),.
The thing about “Basic Dude Stuff” is that, while the nature of men and masculinity has not changed since Adam, the stuff that all men were required to know has changed—sometimes drastically. Here is a list that all men in Republican Rome (509 BC – 30 BC) had to be able to do. Remember that in ancient Rome you were a man at 16 years old and were expected to take your place in the legions:
“Handle a short sword, throw a javelin, walk 30 miles a day with full military panoply, bake bread on the march, build a small city every night, sew and repair clothing and sandals, work in teams of 100, handle mules, be accustomed to slaying men while stepping in urine, intestines and feces, kill men until the centurion tells you to stop, build and repair siege machines, siege works and artillery on the fly, become a master at taking well-defended towns, become acquainted with the price and maintenance of slaves around the Mediterranean, become expert at pick, axe and shovel, be well-rehearsed at close order drill, small infantry tactics and hand-to-hand combat, plant and harvest wheat, understand political propaganda, obey orders, give orders, construct latrines, forts, roads and aqueducts.”
To the Romans this was “basic dude stuff”. Here is a 20 year old list from “Popular Mechanics”:
“Patch a radiator hose, protect your computer, rescue a boater who has capsized, frame a wall, retouch digital photos, back up a trailer, build a campfire, fix a dead outlet, navigate with a map and compass, use a torque wrench, sharpen a knife, perform CPR, fillet a fish, maneuver a car out of a skid, get a car unstuck, back up data, paint a room, mix concrete, clean a bolt-action rifle, change oil and filter, hook up an HDTV, bleed brakes, paddle a canoe, fix a bike flat, extend your wireless network.”
I can do a lot of that stuff, but the CPR thing has me spooked since everyone upon whom I performed it in the USAF died. Oops.
And of course, my own list of “basic dude stuff”. I wrote these down 13 years ago. I can still do most of them given enough time and whiskey.
“Shoot a pistol, prepare meals, handle a manual transmission 4-wheel drive truck, talk to God, clean a home, read and understand history, administer basic emergency medical care, walk ten miles a day with full pack for at least two weeks, set up any tent in any weather, save a drowning man, teach an adolescent about his life and times, read and understand women, handle teenagers in the wilds, work a machete, repair a camp stove, tent, pack and boots while in the woods, run 5 miles, swim one mile and bike 20 miles all without a break, ride a motorcycle, set up and operate computers, explain the purposes of music, literature and art, laugh easily, tell the difference between sham and real, survive alone for days at a time, recover when defeated or lost, cook meals on long trips in the wilderness, handle unexpected encounters with dangerous animals.”
I have no use for tools or knots or cooking BBQ or opening bottles with my bare hands. But that’s just me.
But all of this “basic dude stuff” can really be boiled down to a single sentence. It was spoken by the most complete Man who ever lived. His advice on masculinity was simple:
“A man should love the Lord with all his heart.”
Everything else is extra credit.

Having grown up in the big city I include things like: Knowing if someone is following me or even watching me. Being able to notice people doing things out of the ordinary or suspicious. Spotting a concealed weapon. Identifying a possible threatening situation and instantly reacting to it. Being able to observe while appearing to be unobservant. Protecting the innocent, elderly and weak.
I’m getting the hang of all of that. Just knowing what the Hell is happening around me at all times has become my survival mode. I do not want to die from carelessness. Being alone in the wilderness is normal for me. Walking around the city is not. I’m learning it because I have to.
ghostsniperMarch 9, 2022, 1:04 PM
You people are getting ridiculous. Situational awareness should have been ingrained in you from long ago. No sane man should be walking around in a city except for very temporary and mandatory reasons. I don’t even remember the last time I was in a city. Maybe last year, or the one before.
I developed situational awareness in the jungles south of the Rio Grande. I had no choice: either figure it out or die alone in the rain forest. So I did figure it out. Translating that to the urban environments of the US took some doing; they are not at all the same.
I once took a cop friend of mine—he had been in many street fights and had killed a man—to the rather mild jungles of Costa Rica. He could not handle them. He showed himself to be a class act pussy and weakling. Lesson: situational awareness changes due to the culture and environment.
When shit goes south, I am better in the tropical jungle than I am among cities and freeways.

“No sane man should be walking around in a city except for very temporary and mandatory reasons. I don’t even remember the last time I was in a city.”
Those are the words of someone with deep-set psychological scars, and exude paranoia, agoraphobia, and a form of sociopathy caused by an overwhelming lack of self-confidence and a perceived need for self-isolation.
Hiding in a closet will not make the evils of the world go away- it will only increase your antisocial behavior.
You should immediately seek help for your ASPD, as it is a progressive type of mental illness that will otherwise only get worse.

Pat McNamara (Mac) has 22 years of Special Operations experience, 13 of which were in 1st SFOD-D. He has extensive experience in hostile fire/combat zones in the Middle East, and Eastern Europe. He trains individuals at basic and advanced levels of marksmanship and combat tactics.
When he worked in the premier special missions unit, he became an impeccable marksman, shooting with accurate, lethal results and tactical effectiveness. McNamara has trained tactical applications of shooting to people of all levels of marksmanship, from varsity level soldiers, and police officers who work the streets to civilians with little to no time behind the trigger.
His military experience quickly taught him that there is more to tactical marksmanship than merely squeezing the trigger. Utilizing his years of experience, McNamara developed a training methodology that is safe, effective and combat relevant and encourages a continuous thought process. This methodology teaches how to maintain safety at all times and choose targets that force accountability, as well as provides courses covering several categories, including individual, collective, on line and standards.
McNamara retired from the Army’s premier hostage rescue unit as a Sergeant Major and is the author of T.A.P.S. (Tactical Application of Practical Shooting). Pat McNamara’s website: http://tmacsinc.com/
I’ve attended Pats classes, he is “ The real deal”. An odd ball, but an outstanding trainer, he’s intense to a fault. If the opportunity arises to attend any of his classes, do it, You will walk away a far better shooter.
While you may enjoy levels of situational awareness, do a couple days with Pat, you will be switched on Biggly.
Situational awareness is literally, “extreme attention to detail”. Who, What Where, When
Why and How, in any order. Meaning your feed back OODA loop can come in odd and unusual patterns. That’s fine, as long as your brains constantly connecting the dots, evaluates for danger
Fight Flight Freeze. Their is a time to Fight,,,,A time for Flight,,,, their is never a moment to Freeze,,, freeze equals dead.
There’s military, then there’s everything else. I’ve done both. The first rule of everything is to be distant from most things potentially dangerous, like blow hards. That he would make vids of something so silly as “dood stuff” is telling. In spite of all you’ve written about him he still seems to question his “manliness”. Whatever…
Lol, ghost, Pat makes bank on his gig. We live in a world were “hard”Is a way of life. Their are very few places one can receive the creds Pat has. It’s a small club, you and me aren’t in it.
SF, SEAL, MAR SOC, some over seas units. Most confuse physical toughness as the key ,,,,,,,,it is in fact a level of mental fitness, required to succeed.
But then you already know this.

Ghostboy-
You’ve “done military”? Doing what- peeling potatoes while spending all your time doing KP?
Ever been in actual combat? Not combat with your wife or cat, actual MILITARY combat with guns and stuff? No, you have not.
We know you’ve never been (or ever will be) a sniper, you just use that as a fantasy moniker to stroke your ego.
You should know all about being a “blow hard,” you’re the queen of it around here.
Tell us again all about your “70,000 architectural projects,” OK?

You’ve never been a “sniper.”
Considering the volume of lies you post here, I find it doubtful you were even in the service. And if you were, never above PVT rank.

I’m going to investigate this crypto thing. Having an extra tool in your kit is basic dude stuff. Might come in handy. Might get wiped if they shut down the internet.

Don’t forget to post up a selfie by the egalitarian slit trench latrine! OMG! Like so kewl everyone is like so equal.
For the record, I bought and paid for what we own, it’s mine, THEY can go fuck themselves.
Being the capitalist pig I am, a guy shows up at my door, “ on the home I own”. With a Remington 700, and a 26 inch fluted bull barrel. He’s left handed, the 700 is right hand. Nice cheeses scope, aftermarket stock with riser comb, and stock extension. Paid 450.00 for it.
He doubled his money yesterday. A 300 wm.

A left handed bolt in the hands of a right hander means he can cycle the bolt while keeping his trigger finger on the trigger.
RockyMarch 12, 2022, 10:31 AM
Wow, what great advice- to keep your “trigger finger on the trigger” while working the bolt!
What could possibly go WRONG while doing that?
I would imagine that a real “sniper” would know all about safe trigger finger placement- like keeping the finger on the trigger GUARD until the target is in the sights. https://blog.gunassociation.org/safety-outtakes-rule-3-finger-off-trigger/
Your firearm “techniques” and “advice” aren’t just idiotic, they’re downright dangerous and potentially deadly.

My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

That he would make vids of something so silly as “dood stuff” is telling. In spite of all you’ve written about him he still seems to question his “manliness”. Whatever…
Lol, ghost, Pat makes bank on his gig. We live in a world were “hard”Is a way of life. Their are very few places one can receive the creds Pat has. It’s a small club, you and me aren’t in it.
SF, SEAL, MAR SOC, some over seas units. Most confuse physical toughness as the key ,,,,,,,,it is in fact a level of mental fitness, required to succeed.
But then you already know this.
Ghostboy-
You’ve “done military”? Doing what- peeling potatoes while spending all your time doing KP?
Ever been in actual combat? Not combat with your wife or cat, actual MILITARY combat with guns and stuff? No, you have not.
We know you’ve never been (or ever will be) a sniper, you just use that as a fantasy moniker to stroke your ego.
You should know all about being a “blow hard,” you’re the queen of it around here.
Tell us again all about your “70,000 architectural projects,” OK?
You make Hillary Clinton look like Honest Abe.
pedo troll throws up another wall of text made up from little bitch lies
still hanging out in the school crossing lanes?
Face it- you have NEVER been in any type of military combat.
You’ve never been a “sniper.”
Considering the volume of lies you post here, I find it doubtful you were even in the service. And if you were, never above PVT rank.
Prove me wrong- and post the proof here for all to see.
PS- calling someone a “gov’t pedo troll’ is NOT proof of your service.
OK… That’s enough. Break it up and retire to opposite corners.

LET A SMILE BE YUR UMBRELLA!
Ghostboy, he could rip your overweight, agoraphobic, weak, paranoid, balding, lying ass into tiny shreds in a second, maybe less. You’ve already admitted that you can’t handle a fistfight and have to rely on your little 9mm pistol if ever in a confrontation.
Your lies have surpassed the “Jussie Smollet” level, and you’ve ruined any credibility you may have once had. You’re pathetic, weak, and terrified of the world.
You’ve made yourself the “class clown” here at A.D.
pedo troll tries a new handle
it puts “free candy” signs out front
Lest I repeat myself. . . .
OK… That’s enough. Break it up and retire to opposite corners.

DON’T MAKE ME ANGRY. YOU WON’T LIKE IT WHEN I’M ANGRY.
I’m going to investigate this crypto thing. Having an extra tool in your kit is basic dude stuff. Might come in handy. Might get wiped if they shut down the internet. If they shut off the electricity then we are in the jungle. The shit can’t hit the fan because you’re going to have to chuck it hard at that point. Here’s something basic… Mark Dice explains how phony and dangerous the Federal Reserve is. All in a concise video about 7 minutes in length. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMovtx-sRxo
Dude stuff is a construct of the white male capitalist patriarchy.
Femmeworld will have sporty spandex jackets and dull empty slogans while living in the favela pod and eating bugs, you’ll own nothing and love it in Schwabworld, comrade.
Don’t forget to post up a selfie by the egalitarian slit trench latrine! OMG! Like so kewl everyone is like so equal.
Joker, ahhhhhh,
For the record, I bought and paid for what we own, it’s mine, THEY can go fuck themselves.
Being the capitalist pig I am, a guy shows up at my door, “ on the home I own”. With a Remington 700, and a 26 inch fluted bull barrel. He’s left handed, the 700 is right hand. Nice cheeses scope, aftermarket stock with riser comb, and stock extension. Paid 450.00 for it.
He doubled his money yesterday. A 300 wm.
A left handed bolt in the hands of a right hander means he can cycle the bolt while keeping his trigger finger on the trigger.
Wow, what great advice- to keep your “trigger finger on the trigger” while working the bolt!
What could possibly go WRONG while doing that?
I would imagine that a real “sniper” would know all about safe trigger finger placement- like keeping the finger on the trigger GUARD until the target is in the sights.

Your firearm “techniques” and “advice” aren’t just idiotic, they’re downright dangerous and potentially deadly.
You’ve become the poster boy for liberals who demand gun control.
Snagged the pedo troll again. laugh laugh laugh
No school on saturday…poor pedo troll
What a baffoon, so easily led…..
Ah, the universal reply when his lies and idiocy are pointed out- to call someone a pedo, a troll, or “baffoon.” (BTW, correct spelling is “buffoon”)
Just remember to keep your rifle barrel full of grease, a round chambered, and your finger on the trigger when inspecting the barrel crown.
For the THIRD FUCKING TIME. . .
OK… That’s enough. Break it up and retire to opposite corners.

Too bad he was doing a cross cut with that handsaw, not a rip cut.
