Gunfighter Moment – Kyle Defoor

May 25th, 2013

If some things are physically hard for you (prone pos, running a short distance, carrying a load) then you have to start at the beginning-

Only eat what you can kill, pick or grow most of the time.

You have canine teeth for slicing meat, use them.

Buy organic or grow your own.

At least once in your life, kill an animal and eat it instead of just buying. This simple lost skill will change some people’s habit of eating manufactured food.

Things to really stay away from;
Food with hormones, sugar, salt, hi fructose corn syrup, sat fats, sugar, and sugar. If you don’t believe then go people watch one day and notice the absurd obesity in everyone, especially kids who drink sodas constantly.

Every once and awhile (once a month) eat like shit (McDonalds, etc) to keep your system used to all kinds of foods- so that you’re not one of those weak fucks that can’t function if you don’t have your muscle milk and energy bar.

Fast. Once a month, don’t eat for a day, just drink water (for the already in shape- this is best accomplished during a long cardio event of a few hours)

Stop eating at scheduled times! Eat when your hungry, stop when you get the first “full” feeling. If wifey is making a big dinner, it’s probably a good day to just snack on fruit and nuts til you get home.

Alcohol is fine in moderation and might even be good for you.

Now you’ve just got to PT………..

V/R,

Kyle Defoor

At SOFIC, Rogue Gunfighter showed a completely new product, unlike anything they’ve done before. The Low Vis Chest Rig accommodates up to 8 magazines or smoke/flashbang grenades in the elastic pockets which include retention pull tabs that are height adjustable via Velcro.

Berry compliant, it’s manufactured from 500D Cordura, nylon mesh and elastic and incorporates a fully adjustable Velcro front closure that is very easy to use and is adaptable for use with a variety of clothing and equipment. You don’t have to adjust a bunch of buckles if it’s winter or you are throwing it on over soft armor. You just put it on and close the Velcro front opening. A 1/8″ shock cord adjustment system in the back will flex to give you a great fit.

The LVCR features a wide, Y-style yoke that evenly distributes weight. It also features plenty of loop for IFF and other patches. The fully adjustable yoke also includes D-rings and webbing on either side to secure or attach additional items.

You may find that the elastic waist section is similar to a cummerbund and meets in the back inside a Cordura sleeve which has a PALS field to attach pockets. This sleeve also serves to protect the elastic drawstring.
