"Operate" Does not always involve patrolling in full tactical gear. It can also involve simply being aware and prepared with what you have where you are at.

"Learn more than you think you know." ~ Wisdom from PJ.

As a prepper I think it is more advantageous for one to think like a Seebee than a SEAL. Do I operate? No. I build, prepare, and fight.

The moment you start to think "I'm good enough" is the moment you start down the slippery slope of ineffectiveness.

Many lifelong hunters have learned not only how to operate their weapons/systems, but are also aware of carrying packs, stalking and stealth, etc. Many are also comfortable being outside as well as being uncomfortable. We embrace it. We can all continue to learn and should embrace it.

I agree completely my father was in Special Forces my entire childhood. MSG David Boltz . I miss him everyday. He taught me a lot but I wish he was still around because there was a lot more he could teach me. Thank you Pastor Joe Fox for all you do.

As a truck driver it'd b awesome if he had them as audio books.... I'll still get them but audiobooks help me multitask while I'm driving 700 miles each day

“Everybody got a plan till they get punched in the face”

I have his first two books. The Guerrilla Gunfighter and the 2nd, carbines and rifles. Incredible information in those two books.

All the guys that keep operating around our farm will find out they’ve run out of ammo soon enough. I think it’s a balance, practice but also make sure your ammo is stacked because I have a bad feeling many will be caught with their pants down and their rifle will be as useful as a baseball bat without freedom seeds. Muscle memory in shooting can be accomplished without firing a shot.

The man himself. Follower of many years. Followed Bear for many years too. You men are doing Gods work. Keep it up; your message is not on deaf ears.

Need to get #3, have all of his other books based on your prior recommendation. Funny thing is when I go to the VA EVERYONE says they were special forces, a ranger or airborne infantry at least. I guess the only REMF was old M.I. here supporting the entire Army by myself, lol! Like Clint Eastwood said in Dirty Harry, "A man's got to know his limitations..." just because I was in the Army and shot a few guns does not mean I know much about the subject, most people really don't. That is why I bought the books so I can learn some things from one of the best! Smart people are smart enough to "know their limitations...".

Ar's are ok. Have a few of them. But I operate an SKS paratrooper. Battle proven and Just love the gun, fits me perfect. Been tooling this weapon for at least 20 years.

The mind, body and spirit are more important than the tools. As far as Kyle is concerned, his skill and forethought may be lacking, but his moral compass was not wrong.

"you're never good enough" Strong philosophy to continue self improvement.

HAVE DRINK EVERY TIME HE FOLDS THE STOCK ON HIS NEW TOY... 🍺🍺.30 and counting from the last few videos.😅😅😅😅

This man (PJ) is a green beret enough said! 👍👍👍

Just finished John Mosby's "Guerrilla Gunfighter 3". Excellent all the way around. Probably one of the best training manuals I have ever seen. No b.s. , very valuable information. And a great forward from Pastor Joe himself! Please John, more where this came from!

Thank you for caring I’ll check the books out

Thanks for the tip.

I was operating the other day .tripped fell down.spilled my redbull.smashed a dam half pack of smokes and lost one of my flipflops...murica!!!!!!!!!...

Thank you

Experience doesn't come cheap, obviously huge amount of valuable information...I'd love to be able to afford to be trained by such man

Just getting started again after a 30 plus year hiatus. Focusing on building muscle memory for basic operation of my #1 pick. Getting to the point of feeling that natural extension of my whole body. Didn't have the internal fortitude to use the tools. Recently got a high octane endless supply of intrinsic motivation.

Thank you pastor

"Do you even operate, bro?" Yeah, these 'operators' are so brave and well-trained that they left (and continue to leave) it to a 17 year-old to take the responsibility to repel rioting and looting communists from destroying a US city. I'll reserve my respect for those who make up for their lack of skill with more courage and heart than 'men' twice and thrice his age.

His books are awesome and well worth the money!

Thank you, PJ.

Bro🙌🏽

Awesome information thank you PJ

I also love how it's almost always sunny while they have range day....

Yes I have operated.....and I always tried to learn more from everyone I meet...because even a novice,can say something innocent....that gives you a very detailed idea...and others that are extremely experienced can help you from making mistakes....ie..silly string...

Just ordered all 3.I have much respect for your thoughts and insights.not the best reader I’m going to try and figure these out.thank you

Thank you 😊

When I was youg , I was indistructable. I'm still fearless because I belive in God and go where he sends me.,Now after 76 years young I just dont move as fast or far, takes me few momnents more, but my mind -skills and sprit are all intact and strong. Kowing my linittation has been the great teacher, I developed new and I think better tactics, I belive most men who went up aganist me are dead, I don't think today now,would even be a good day. Go with God with the wind at your back, Semper-Fi.....Dont forget water just as important as ammo.

According to the reviews. The books were considered too expensive even by the people that bought them, however it seems everyone that has actually purchased them stated that once they had received the books the knowledge obtained far exceeded their expectations and was far more valuable than the cost. That says a ton about the content and the author. I believe I will have to order all 3 copies. 👍

I learned my survival skills the old fashioned way it's been handed down through the family since my family our native and soldiers and cops but I can always learn more

Yes book took forever but followed up and the man made more than good a great wealth of information.

A tool not used is not a tool, it is but a artefact or trinket for the wall. This works not only for hardware but of knowledge as well. Use it as it's intended not just store it.

It all starts with two simple but all-important words. "Don't Panic".

Thank you!

They look really good, but with the coming collapse I won't be picking them up. It would take me about 4 months to save the bread and I know we don't have that much time.

No carry permit retired..Texas. We just do.

Always appreciate book recommendations

What a beautiful setting / community. PJF , thank you for your insights.

Godbless...yes sir I prep.Godbless...cyaoutthere...love you are teaching us thx all...Godbless...Amen.

To be honest brother pastor no I'm not nearly as proficient with my AR as I should be I'm far better with a handgun but I've been able to use it daily pretty much for the entire time I've been carrying with you over 30 years and I ran across this book because I was looking at your video one day and I said you know what I'm going to buy that it's been a couple years and I've learned a great deal from reading this book and I appreciate the fact that you are told us all about it. So again brother pastor thank you for being a good follower of the Messiah.

Vic Morro qualified me on that in nineteen fifty nine . I Got It

Thanks for the tip on the books,I will definitely be buying some of them.I have always loved to read.my favorite stores to prowl around in is old used book stores.

Great reference books! I wrote a biographical paper about John Singleton Mosby, also known as the "Gray Ghost" for an instructor class speech. He was a Confederate army cavalry commander, fighting guerrilla warfare during the American Civil War.

Patrion member here! Best years worth of spending I could come up with. Like.. $13 for a freaking mammoth amount of info! Just picked up gorilla gunfighter 3! Got two of his other books based on your recommendation.

Glad to see he is using Lulu now, we use them for some of our manuals at work, they are cheaper and faster then getting them printed in my local town. No apparent discount for ordering all three together.

I have that "operator" shirts, from TJ. I can operate a forklift and a welder. Good enough? Lol. I can even operate my copy of The Scriptures, even better. Appreciate the book suggestions again. Reading an actual book doesn't require an internet connection.

Thanks a bunch, Pastor Fox. I grew up around guns and spent a lot of time in the woods hunting. That said; I don’t know squat about operating against targets that’d shoot back! It worries me b/c my first mistake would most likely be my last. Plus (for you history buffs out there) this guy’s name is... John Mosby, so I’ll be buying and reading these and hope they learn my old a$$ something useful.

Also "Reluctant Patisan" vols. 1 and 2 are extremely worthwhile.

I like to focus on the plausible as opposed to the possible. I’m an older former 11 Bravo. I had the privilege of being led by an SF squad leader in a real world application. Bottom line. I don’t and neither do most shoot enough. Nobody can know everything. I have beliefs. Like a solid hit with a .22 beats a miss with anything. Having the best gear is great….but l don’t have it. I have what works. I can always learn more.

Need to pick up number 3, but stuck on available square range, so shoot and move isn't currently possible.

the word is mightier than the bullet and the sword

Not only conceal the weapon but self concealment in certain situations. I'm 65 and don't know near enough.

Every one wants to be a gunfighter. The reality only a small percentage of people will truly act and defend in an actual shoot out scenario. I'm not talking about shooting plates and paper targets. Shit is real when bullets come flying towards you. A whole different feeling ...

Thank you for the info

I have all three. Stellar!

I am a wanna be prepper. My financial life is unable to support such things. But knowledge is good and GOD is my only hope. Good luck to you Patriots!

Reading clandestine carry pistol now.

That's great knowledge to have on hand and to know

Please make a video about the other books John Mosby had. Thank you

Awesome! Thanks!!!

Great video , really makes ya think.

Lot's of gun training programs in America are centered around the AR-15. The AR-15 is definitely prolific and in wide use. A proven system. For all of us that prefer a non AR type rifle. Examples: FN SCAR, Robinson Arms XCR-L, H&K G-36, even AK's. All non AR style rifles work somewhat different. All use the 5.56x45 ammo and STANAG magazines. Take the Robinson Arms XCR-L rifle. You can't pay enough money for a XCR to jam. Mostly because of a humongous long stroke gas piston with Godzilla sized attachment lugs connecting the piston rod to the bolt carrier group. With a multiple gas adjust system that blows through grit and grime like gang busters. So no problems like the AR-15. There are not many recorded occurrences where XCR-L, FN Scars and others to compare non AR's to AR-15 systems. Maybe if I live in your area I could visit and you can try out one of the many non AR style shooters, the RA XCR-L.

The hardest lesson was self control and hot situations. To remain calm and use your greatest tool will not be found on a gun range or a mock battle. It's the real test and no one is really ready for it until it occurs. Everyone that faces it knows it. When you lose a friend you go ape and later on you may start doubting your ability to hold your own. This is the nature of war. When you doubt yourself you are in danger. Even muscle memory can fall to the wayside. That's what I know

HIGHLY RECOMMEND GGII. There's in depth stuff about the importance of a community besides the stuff that PJ spoke of. I will reread sections occasionally because they're that good.

So true about having the equipment but the skill/mindset to use it. I notice this when hunting season starts back up. I know what to do where to go but you have to get your eyes your ears basically your body back into tune of being aware. My pap years ago used to say you gotta be able to see with your ears ... Never made sence until a few years ago but anyways so much more to learn especially when it comes to shtf.

I just ordered all 3 books...there are some coupons...saved about $20...

Knowledge is power!

I'M TOO OLD TO BE RUNNING AROUND, ACTING LIKE RAMBO! I'll just PEACEFULLY, WAIT AT HOME! I'm not willing to be a sniper. "I shall, not be MOVED!" QUOTE: KING DAVID

As always, great advice and wisdom.

Thank you for your great information PJF🙏🌋❄️🌴🌺🙏

I thought you just pointed the flashing end toward the enemy lol

Yep, "better to be a warrior in a garden then a gardner in a war" I used to operate now im mining soil, and still doing drill's 3 x a week. Im getting old.

Have you ever been near true terror

Great video again! Will share with our patriot group.

Yes. I need to get that 3rd book.

I have the physical tools and a few mental tools but I'd rather give all of that up and never need them. I hope that neither I nor my son's ever see war of any kind. Living on my small farm and driving trucks is peaceful, I want to keep it that way.

Thanks man I'll check it out

I hear ya. I have an instinctual feeling I am not doing all I need to. I have quietly done some stuff. I am hoping to be fluid and keep myself strong in faith of the most high.

‘War of the Flea’ by Robert Taber is an invaluable read which presents a viable path forward for our people. Please check into this book.

Looks like great books. Can’t learn enough. Thanks for showing us. Take care.

Ordered all 3 15 NOV 21 .. will let you know when they arrive

Good add to the library sounds like to me thanks PJ for bringing me attention to Mr.M i will definitely add to my collection....God Bless

Thanks PJ…. Always trying to learn something. Knowledge is power.

should also add Forging the Hero: Who Does More Is Worth More by John also

Oh that is something really cool I’d enjoy that. I really enjoyed getting knowledge from the ones I got to train with on Fort Bragg. That helped my job immensely. Actually we used that information to train in my unit 108 MP company assault. We use those tactics since we were charged with MSR security, securing villages towns etc., and in general making it safe for 82nd airborne to move forward.

It took a long time to get Mosby's first 2 books. The newer books were delivered pretty quickly.

Military….civilian. Dont matter. When it comes down to it are you prepared and will you do your best to take care of your family and countrymen…thats it.

I ordered all of his books in one shot on mid October. Three days later I realized I had ordered from an old link. My fault entirely. I emailed him asking if I needed to reorder the correct way. He took care of everything all I did was give him my address and two weeks later I had a giant stack of knowledge. I’m half way through Forging the Hero now. Buy these books.

No matter what what military experience and training we have had in the past. No matter what rank we were. We are never experts but only students. I'm a veteran I have gone through training I have been on operations but what I know is only the tip of the iceberg. One important lesson is not to think you know everything or just enough.

When I was a much younger man; my mom told me, “never test an old man, son.” You are the epitome of what I always pictured. Love your work, Pastor.

Did U know my Pastor Fox in Ohio is older than you. And I do love him like a Father. The church is non-denominational. And yes we do go to the range. Welcome to the county of Crawford.

So , you know Runaway June's song , good for you!! They are great ! If not , go hear it!

You gone a dunnit again PJ , i was feeling like the smuggest kid on the block with me ar and me 9 mil ( in Europe and legal) and you just reminded me that i am close to clueless ! Thanks . ( i mean it thanks i need that)
