Something that milsimers and outdoors people should learn about, old school style land navigation and Dirty Civilian shows the basics in this video... "The basics of land navigation without electronics is a dying art, but an important one for citizens who don't want to be too reliant on google maps. This week we have Jonathan Fisher, a former Cav Scout, to walk us through how to use basic land nav tools and how to read maps and terrain features."
The Dirty Civilian recommends some non-tactical year-round clothing that prepared civilians can consider... "We're always fielding questions about what clothes we're wearing in our videos and which we recommend depending on the season. So, here is a breakdown of what we have and use and when to save and when to spend."
The Dirty Civilian talks about the Low-Vis Armor and Chest Rig Combo they recommend for civilian users... "We go over an old, and sometimes forgotten, method of quick-swapping loadouts to fit any of the weapon platforms you're trained and proficient with. Not only is this method faster and cheaper, but it also leans into the modular and 'realistic' needs of the everyday prepared civilian."
A "Call of Duty in IRL" is what Dirty Civilian call their Gun Game Competition... "Call of Duty Gun Game mode, but in real life. Three shooters compete in eight stages spanning 18 different firearms, three off-road vehicles, and takes them into a crack house, the trenches, and rooftops too dangerous for even the secret service. All this because we wanted to remind you and ourselves that having fun with your gear is important. Don't lose sight of competing with the boys and laughing on the range.
Dirty Civilian goes wet as they discuss about Wet Weather Survival covering shelter, bugs and heat... "Its hot. It's humid. Ticks and insects are trying to eat you. And, there is a storm rolling in. What can you do in the field to stay out of the elements and set yourself up for success? Mitch Wiuff, former SERE Instructor, walks us through how to build raised-bed shelters and thrive in miserable conditions."
Civilians looking into getting a camo and cannot decide whether they should go for the hunting camo or military camo can watch this episode of Dirty Civilian... "Do civilians need the latest, greatest Crye's in some drippy pattern? Or does old school hunting camo work just as well? In this video we compare dozens of hunting and military camos and tackle the more important question: why are you buying camo in the first place?"
Dirty Civilian goes over the iRay RH25 thermal monocular if it provides good value... "Thermal optics aren't cheap, which is why we like them to be versatile. We show you what it looks like to use our favorite thermal optic, the iRay RH25, as a handheld, helmet-mounted, and rifle-mounted optic with and without an LPVO, and talk about the limitations of this superpower."
Dirty Civilian talk about three types of kits or loadouts that civilians can consider when getting prepared for an eventuality... "Civilians with no backup, no logistical support, and no intel network are often marketed kit that mirrors top tier military units who do have all those assets. We break down three different types of 'Loadouts', the mindset behind them, and discuss which is actually the most relevant for the average prepared citizen."
The Dirty Civilian talks about the pros and cons of bridge thermal night vision for those on a budget... "Everyone knows that night vision and thermal are superpowers. With any superpower though, it often comes at a heavy price. So how cheap can we go and still have a next-gen, functional system with both tools? In this video, we dive into the pros and cons of running night vision and thermal on a 'budget'."
Dirty Civilian explains the 3 survival skills that every one in the world should know about. If you have been in the scouting movement, these should come to memory... "The average teenager in the 1800s was more prepared than the vast majority of modern American adults. These are three easy and inexpensive ways to build shelter, filter water, and start fires with minimal modern tools. Because knowledge not passed down, is knowledge lost."
