Hi TNPrs! Project still strong and working hard. Remember TNP Patreon gets the videos first and some never post on the main channel! Here's some TNPr comments from Patreon, join the fun and full flow of TNP content: www.patreon.com/Nutnfancy "W5GLS Agree 100% on team concept vs going lone wolf Nutn. I’m still able to maintain a reasonable cardio level but I’m sure the soldier boy experience would kick my a$$. I’m ready to support the team with comms if my fitness level degrades with age. Thanks! W5GLS 6d Joe Finken Also BTW, SCCY (Century Arms, Canik, etc) just rolled out a handgun, an evolution of the Sig p365, called the DVG1. If the availability is there and the funding is there, it could be an interesting table-top or bunker review to show people if it's a competetor to the p365, Hellcat, or the MP Shield 2.0 9mm double stack. 6d Ricky Kurtz Hey LTC, have to respectfully disagree with regards to my choice of handgun(s). I will go with either my Glock 21 or my LAPD SWAT designed Robar hand built 1911 depending on the outing. I’ll deal with the weight. I have many hundreds hours of trigger time on a 1911 platform much less on the Glock21 but still a significant amout of trigger time on that platform. Also, I always have a backup handgun at all times with me. I’ve carried a firearm for most of my life and that fireare has been a 1911 and as of the past 8 years my other handgun as mention is the Glock21 with certain factor armourer upgrades. I do own many other handguns and trained with them, M9A2, M17, Glock30, etc You might wonder what’s a guy from IBM caring a firearm for. Work for the Military and law enforcement. Ricky From IBM 6d Chris Keep up the great work as always another down to earth serious discussion with actual facts and experience. Cant beat it, I'm glad you decided to update this videos 6d Murphy Please include the combat shotgun in this series, load out, etc. Semper Fi LtCol. 6d Chris Marchi love the bunker 6d Chris Marchi Dude, when are u coming to the east coast??? 6d Chris Marchi not squared but I can probably manage to make it to the second wave. 6d Chris Marchi After that I make no promises, I'm an old guy. 6d Chris Marchi just an Alamo type of guy 6d Chris Marchi static defense 6d Richard Werglum What is up with a Patreon it frickin sucks ass. Every time I go to watch your vids they don’t load and are super crap quality. I usually wait till you post on KZfaq but nowadays looks like you don’t do that. My goals this year are to be properly squared away like a modern minute men of old. Various load outs and gear. Fitness is on point due to getting testosterone up 152% in the past 8 months. But my gear is severely lacking I need a light weight LBE plate carrier. My first spear Strandhogg is too big or something 6d Chris Marchi A2 iron sights..lots of ammo...heavy barrel? 6d David Crawford Fantastic, mindset first!! 6d SURVIVOR Lol great vid as usual. I do have a question for you @NuTNFancy? So I’m a POST treatment cancer patient and when you said be physical fit I started crying I was laughing so hard. So because I’m 5’2 and 115 pounds AND given my circumstance is there a way for me to be “tactically squared away” or am I just boned? Would love to hear your opinion on the matter. Hope I can shoot good 😂 6d Racing Psychosis That sucks. You have to figure a work around. I've had brain surgery for a tumor removal. While it was benign, it left me without hearing in one ear, missing the balance nerve on one side, fatigue issues coupled with vertigo occasionally, and facial nerve damage that gives my one eye trouble. Its 5-years, I'm still recovering and still getting better and figuring out work arounds for everything. Can you be tactically squared away, one way to think about that is knowing what your limitations are and trying to figure out what to do about them. Be as sound as you can be. If you know your limitations and are still a good shot, you probably are better prepared than that coach potato that thinks they can go out and do anything without ever even trying. Hopefully you are in remission, wish you the best. 2 5d Load 2 replies Ready-or-Not Physical fitness is critical. Everything - gear, mindset, fitness - are links in the same chain. Weakness in one or more can undermine strengths in another. As with all things, moderation and balance. 6d Matt Sharp Thanks for keeping it real Nutn 6d robin walker thanks 6d Priest Preach! I always laugh at these “gun guys” online and in the shops that are morbidly obese. They own a hundred guns and think they’re ready for anything yet fail to realize that they’re one flight of stairs away from a heart attach. 6d gerard Dude, you got too much crap on your AR15 is my favorite video next to this vid. Really enjoy your posts. 5d Steve Dutton Love the update, Nutn'. Keep it up, Bro. Uhhh, by "it" .. well, you know what i mean. Keep the other up, too. Damn, how do i get out of this rabbit hole? Did I just say hole? Son of a ..... 5d Logan **Yells into cheep plastic Megaphone** Thanks for the update Nutn, crank out PT 2 now! Also maybe you should make Soldier Boy Patreon exclusive? 1 5d Sam Brower I would run tavor and PPq M1 combo. I prefer how my tavor handles compared to my AR (bad wrists so having the weight closer into the shoulder works better for me) and i feel I shoot my PPQ better on average than my Glock19 and prefer the ergo’s. Those are my thoughts. 4d Dan the GW I always watch soldier boy, it's one of the reasons I became a patreon for you. I enjoy everything else, krv, wrv, and grv's too but, solider boy is my favorite. 3d Rusty Chains We are soft, yep! Most of us are carrying too much weight, no not stuff, lard. Woke up one day and discovered I was 40 pounds overweight, it took me several years to get that way so now I am working on my fitness. Developing the exercise habit and losing the lard still going to take several more months to get the rest of it off. Do the things and fix your personal readiness. 3d JDCoy That intro was too violent:( Now I'm triggered,, somebody give me a tissue. 3d Jordan Vallas got smoked by a pump paintball player in the early 2000's. dude was a beast, we didn't see it coming at all. too hyped up on our own ego and speed ball guns. Good times. 2d Scott Stevens In my experience, while paint balling, simply sprinting around the field (woodland) seemed to work better than you would expect. I guess no one expected us to be in certain areas so early in a match. Cardio gettin done. 1d Emerson Evans I can't WAIT... im glad its multiple parts though. Im hoping for feature length haha 11h James Toomey As far as weight lifting, check out the super slow method. This method is helping me regain strength after a Devastating Auto accident that ended a 20 year career as a PE teacher. While recuperating from the neck and back & arm surgeries I gained over 35 pounds of fat with a great deal of muscle wasting. Anyway Super Slow has enabled me to lose weight and gain muscle."

KZfaq and the world is a better place because of Nutnfancy. I’ve been a sub for 10 years and my life has been positively impacted because of you. Thank you for all you do. Pastor Johnson.

Nutn, you stay weird and I’ll stay watching

I was in my 20s working out regularly last time there was a tactically squared away vid. 2020: Now I get ads for managing arthritis, and it piques my interest.

Hey NUTN I literally just opened KZfaq, saw this, and yelled, "OH SHIT!!!" Thanks dude you're the best. We've been asking for this video for years now.

NUTN i’ve been watching your videos since 2013, especially your philosophy videos when i was in high school. They helped shape me into what I am today and I wish someday i’ll be able to thank you in person.

loving this paintball story ...."he smoked me with basically... a mosin nagant" hahahahaha

I’ve watched this video before. And I’ve been a TNPer since 2009. I’m almost 67 and this last year I lost 60 pounds and improved my physical condition immensely. BP is back to normal and my RHR is in the upper 40’s to 50’s. The weight loss came from going on the Keto diet and intermittent fasting. Honestly, exercise had nothing to do with it. But I’m working on getting into the gym a couple of times a week for 20-30 minutes. I’m not a great runner because I ran so much in my youth and my knees are wearing out. Proud to be a Patreon supporter of the channel. Thanks Nutnfancy for what you do.

Man I just realized I’ve been watching your channel for over ten years! Shout out from Canada. Thanks for all your information all these years! Keep it up!

15:09 "I think shooting accurately has a lot to do with mental toughness." Studies have shown that marksmanship is tied to iq, cognitive ability. Something as simple as pointing and shooting, which theoretically can be done by anyone of any skill level, still sorts people into a hierarchy based partially on the power of the mind. You make a plan, it doesn't work out exactly as planned, then you adapt. Mental toughness is key.

I like the air force fighting in the beginning 😂😂😂

Running is important. But in the experience of many, it comes for free with heavy barbell strength training. Increasing my squat and deadlift by over 200lbs in a couple years has done way more for my physical capability than other programs. Plus, heavy lifting actually provides sufficient heart rate increases to benefit running as well. Just throwing experience out there for anyone who could benefit.

this one hit me right in the beer gut.....

One of my favorite channels. And I love the long videos. I'm a trucker, so I listen while driving, makes the miles pass. Long live the Republic

Good to see your still pushin it nutn. Thanks for telling it straight. “Fix your body and mind first.” Then build more training on top of a solid foundation! Keep it up!

“Don’t take any opponent for granted “ I think most people here underestimate the enemy. Proud Americans like us need to prepare for the worst and that includes a smart and skilled adversary.

Thanks for reminding me to get in shape. That's one thing I neglect too much and I think you have pushed me to get back into it. Thanks Nutn. Also, funny coincidence. I've been looking at the rifles by Windham, too. Their A1 always looked nice, though I probably would sway toward their A2 style.

I swear Nutin you are an absolute goober at times, but there are very few reviewers I feel honestly believe everything they are telling us. Props to you for being you and staying you. I ALWAYS love these long philosophy videos, even if I back burner them for a week or so until I have the time to watch it at length.

Enjoy the channel, I’ve been watching for years. I’ve learned a lot. Thank you for the channel.

Thank you for bringing in the fitness of being squared away. Your most important weapons are your mind and body before anything else! Honestly though even though my cardio has been doing well at this point, my cardio at your locality about a mile high up, I'd pass out.

Fresh Nutnfancy! Great way to start the weekend. Been watching since the early days and learned a ton in the process, thanks for all your work.

I like this video. I'm only halfway through so far, but you're making a lot of sense, and I like how you're presenting the information.

F yeah. Dude you have always brought the fun to tactical gear, never stop nutn!

Your weapon/loadout is only an extension of yourself (spirit). You're philosophies are always right on! Range time is only 5% of my training, the rest is hardwork, physical fitness (running, biking, hiking, weights, etc). Backpacking is probably one of my biggest physical and mental conditioners, so AMEN to that brother! Love your rants and videos!

Haha GREAT intro Nutn! Had me rolling as I was expecting a serious philosophy video and opened the video to find you shadow boxing the camera! Glad you're feeling better!

This is one of the best workout motivation videos on KZfaq for me. I come back to this time to time when I'm slacking on the exercise.

Loved that awesome display of fighting skill. The slo-mo elbow was epic. Now I know to never mess with Nutn!

I was just thinking about how important physical fitness is to prepping and sure enough, this video pops up in my feed. Stay awesome LTC.

Thanks for dropping the knowledge Nutn! There are too many "Tactical Turrets" out there who take this stuff for granted.

LOLOL your intro! So glad you are feeling good. 🤣🤣🤣 Can't wait for part 2. Thank you for your videos! I love them!

Fantastic Video. Absolutely spot on as usual. As a former infantryman. Our focus was to be the weapon. Everything else is tools of the trade. Always ready physically and mentally. Great video Nutnfancy

Added to my list of videos to watch when I get the chance. Thanks for the continued content nutnfancy

I really like the term u used there... infotainment. Not wasting time watching sitcoms but still being entertained. While also learning and thinking

Thank you, Nutn. From the bottom of our hearts thank you for your work.

Thank you Nutn. Been a student here for years. Nov "18, I had titanium installed. This summer was the first, of 32 yrs hence. One Fellow here, organized an ABanAR. Shot in Trooper, on 10 ranges- 3 to 600M. I planned on shooting it and while I made it that day, I am glad I was the cook, for the 24 guys who showed up. Shooting started at 7am. You had to carry everything from the start - until the last shot. Mags dropped, were lost. 2 gents shot with 303's from 1918. One had a 1892 Lever. All enjoyed the shoot. We had 4 Provinces represented. Cheers on your rehab.

That intro was great, I'm glad you left it in. It had me confused, cringing and laughing out loud.

Thank you for your service and extra effort and your experience, knowledge and opinion.

You’re right, mindset is absolutely crucial to getting through stuff. I know. I’m very glad you said it the way you did, because someone needed to hear it that way and it just might save their life!

I really appreciate the points you covered in this topic. This video sort of felt like the antidote to all the BS I hear working in the gun shop and on the internet. I really have come to appreciate you man, thanks!

Watched the entire video. A Ton of great and thought provoking information. Excellent content Colonel👍🏻👊🏼🇺🇸

I miss the long format videos. Good stuff as always. Can't believe how fast times has gone watching your videos.

If I could add something to the physical conditioning of this excellent video, it would be to check out the Army Combat Fitness Test and look for the different scoring points for each test (deadlifts, push-ups, overhead throws, sprint-drag-carry, pull-up/ab work, 2 mile run). I believe it's a good all around physical guide that may help many of us. Thanks NUTNFANCY for your awesome vids!

Cool message. This is what I love about your channel. The message is spot on here, without fieldcraft, woodsmanship, stamina, and mental toughness, the best guns are useless in a adverse situation. While everyone possesses these qualities in varying degrees it's really important to know where your strengths and weaknesses are. Your ponytailed flannel friend was likely very self aware in that way, he knew his limits.

Dude, the running a mile in tac gear vid was great. I'll have to go back and watch it again.

I served with a marine (in the 90's) who smoked like a freight train. During a PFT (physical fitness test) the guy would be smoking at the starting line, the marine monitoring the test would yell go and this guy would take drag, throw down his cigarette, run 3 miles in 15 min and be smoking and drinking water as he walked around to cool area as the bulk of us came in at 18-19 minutes. What a MANIAC and weighed all of 150 pounds and would max the entire pft, sit-ups, pull ups, run etc. guy was a beast. We did a last man standing boxing match event while training in Death Valley. I ended up boxing the same guy, I figured I had this one, he's admin at hq and here I am a grunt and i have him by 20pnds. NOPE! Dude floated like a butterfly. He didn't hit that hard but I couldn't get him! Turns out dude was some type of home town boxing champ. Few days later we ended up as partners in a card game (spades I think) and became great friends, dude was a great marine and a really good guy. We wrestled a couple of times and when we went to the ground (and at the range) I'd own him, but boxing and running, NOPE!

Omg that intro was priceless. I was laughing sooooo hard! So much fun

Hey Nutn, just got started on my “tactical loadout” with my Condor MOPC carrier, medical pouch, and mag pouches arriving at my front door and I’ve been Larping around the house all day. Definitely will need some custom tailoring to my body type but overall it’s great. Thanks for helping me make some great gear decisions

Your paintball opponent used the Gray Man strategy. Seemingly a regular guy, no red flags, but deadly.

I focused so much on mental toughness and not enough on physical toughness as a FCLE, I ended up becoming 40lbs overweight and realized I was still weak minded because I still couldn't force myself to exercise and eat healthy. During my deployment I used that time to work on both. Now I am home, I've let that work ethic and mindset carry over from deployment and has bettered my life and abilities, mind and body for my job. Good take Nutn, you nailed this one. Thanks for the Philosophy vid!

Hey Nut’n - You just turned me on to AG Russel Knives. I am absolutely blown away. Never written or commented before but I just wanted to say thanks. Carry on Sir!

"You should be able to walk ten miles . . . Right now" . . . Pretty sure that less than one percent of the 67k people who've watched this video could do that (me included) . . . Its sad, I know, but I'm glad you made this video & reminded everyone how important fitness is. . . For real.

Any recommendations for a tactical straight-jacket? Lol. Glad to see you're having fun. Thanks for the update!

Fantastic, mindset first!!

Just when I think i can't like this channel any more i spot a RED ZAKU on the shelf. Thanks for the video NF.

Nutn, your paint ball story was fantastic. People probably discount me, but I shoot three times a week at an indoor range and once a month out in the desert. I do run-and-gun stuff in the desert. I box to stay in shape. A lot of people might look at me and not even realize that I am preparing for war. I do this stuff with a good buddy of mine.

Watches first 30 seconds. Thinks: "OMG he's losing it". Haha

We GOTTA get a pt2! I can’t wait.

Thanks bro, as usual a ton of very realistic information and no b.s. assessment.

And a PGP reference! Ooolllld school!!! I have one and use it often. :-) might be my favorite video so far!

Dude. I literally need part 2 right now, im begging you

Nutn still rockin it. Been waiting for this one for a while.

Nutn I truly cherish your philosophy videos and this one did not disappoint

Your right about mental toughness, that is key to holding everything together. Running in snow with a full loadout is no easy feat, add heavy breathing and heart rate with the cold and it doesn't matter who you are. Your going to be in the hurt locker. Developing a sick sense of humor helps with the mental toughness. When is comes to cardio, I found with a bad back and knees that rowing, and elliptical interval training takes the stress off of the joints.

Yes!!! I have been waiting for this since the classic. So entertaining.

Nutns intro is an actual remake/ homage to 13 year old me on a friday night with my moms camera

Good to know you aren't quite right just like most of us. Thanks again and hope you are feeling better.

Too stoked to spend my Friday night watching this video.. btw like dry firing, everyone needs to shadow box more often!

Watching for the second time. Still just as awesome 👌

Yo, I’m glad you put this video out. More than that I’m glad you fitness, if shit gets bad, avoidance should be the first action, fighting is when you have no other choice, & if you can make it as quick as possible. I think a lot of guys are itching to put rounds down range, but I don’t think that they are thinking about rounds back, & what if they hit there target or a loved one.

I remember nutn from 2008 and I come back once in a while and wonder why his channel hasn't grown as much as it could have.

I love the soldier boy videos and like many others wish I was in close enough proximity to be a candidate.... Rock on my friend..............................

I drooled over your VW in the paintball throwback pic. That is a beautiful car

The fking megaphone gets me every time. LOL

Thanks NUTN, great video content. If I could thumbs up multiple times I would. Recommended to my friends and family, especially my shooting buddies. Hanging tough here in Virginia!

How did you know that today was my birthday man!? Glad to see your body is still in functioning shape brotha!

Love the A1 in the back, just built one for myself a few months ago.

Hell yeah baby! Been waiting for this one

The key to fitness is consistency. Whatever you do, you have to do it 3-4 times a week for several years. And you can never stop.

Great video, thank you for all the great content. I use this video to motivate myself to improve.

Loved this video. Can’t wait for part two

It has been said, "That man who can laugh at himself will never cease to be amused" 😊

Glad you are recovering well after the surgery!

YES!!!!! It’s been so many years sense the last! Love it

Saw the title... cried a little bit. In joy of course. This time I can say that I AM tactical squared away. I have a lot more gear then just 2 years ago. Plus, a lot more shooting experience.

Funny intro, I have several of those smael watches, even bought prolly 5 or 6 for my buddy's, well, bought my brother some I have no friends. Except my 2 rat terriers, they don't like the watches after I put them on their collar 3 months ago and they are still ticking. Got mine off evay. ** people always make fun of my go bag I take to work but when someone needs a bandaid, clean a cut out, even like today I had some eye wash in my bag, people are so I'll prepared it's funny. When I used to drive on the road I even had gas masks, when I drove up on a gas tanker on fire I pulled air brakes, put a mask on, gave one to this old lady that had breathing problems. Her husband asked me what are you doing with gas masks, I said what are you doing without one. Great videos, it's never ending being a prepper.

I agree, your mental and mind set is the most powerful tool in the box. A couple people in the right mindset with basic tools like a 22 and a couple basic dear rifles can cause extreme devastation.

Loved the paintball story. I remember a comic from a paintball magazine with the "noob" in the first pic with simple gear, the "experienced" guy in the middle pic with the latest and greatest of everything, and the "pro" in the third pic that was identical to the first pic.

Working out and watching your videos Is a good motivator

Last weekend, when the family and I drove up there to go the aquarium I went in to gunnies again to see if I could find any nutn guns to see what you have been reviewing but of course no luck lol. I freakin love that store man. It reminds me of my gun shop down south in beaver. Great small town family own gun shop style! Well hopefully I will see you in gunnies next time we go up north!!! Thanks for everything nutn!!

"Y'know, Apollo, you really move good for an older guy."

I love that you kept that intro. Keeping it real in a world of phonies.

Big fan from the U.K, keep doing your thing Nutn.

Good to see you nuttenfancy it's been a while.

Always a good watch. Keep the vids coming.

I am physically and mentally tough trained and proficient in my warrior tasks and drills. Good video.

That intro was.......................AMAZING

i knew you were gonna bring up that mini 14 when you said what would you choose!! i knew it i always think about when you said you used to run competition with one!

I think this is your best episode ever Nutn Rock on 👍

You gotta get comfortable being uncomfortable. Thanks Nutn for another great one!!!

My dad will be 71 in April, and still lays brick nearly every day. He can work circles around nearly anyone in their 20's. Tough old marine. My grandfather was laying bedford limestone up till a week or so before he died. People who haven't worked in the trades have no clue what it takes to be a Mason or s carpenter, or a drywaller. You are right about the majority of the younger generations. They couldn't accomplish what prior generations have done because they lack the drive, determination, and grit.
