It is one thing to read the stuff we talk about now let's test your skill and hone them.

Oh by the way never do anything that endangers yourself and others !!!!

That post is so true and is a really valid point..... We can't assume just becuase we read it somewhere or even saw someone do it doesn't mean its going to go well and perform as it should for us.....
I play around with ham radio and I'm amazed at the number of times things just don't go right and the plan needs a little "tweeking" :hb: Glad it was only training and not life or death....

Better to do it, use it practice it in a place and at a time where there is no urgency so when there is your actions can be coordinated and precise.
Whenever any government becomes oppressive it is not only the right but the duty of the citizenry to revolt. Thomas Jefferson

I can understand how a person can look at mankinds inhumanity to man and say there is no God; but I can not understand how a person can look at the mountains and the stars and say there is no God. Abraham Lincoln

yep, always test yourself. Even new items you buy and may have used the type and brand before may be defective from the store. When SHTF is not the time to find out it was defective. Also skills needed tested NOW so you know them and don't have to think about it when you really need that skill.
