The first minute of the film contains 50% of what we need to know when it hits the fan.

Excellent training material, the second film emphasis on deception is important in fighting an opponent with superior numbers and weapons.

I would again point out that, after the first few actions of this type, the Bad Guys will not move in this environment with Air support with FLIR. Your ghilli suit will not work against IR sensors. The credible action plan is lone wolf with the ability to disappear into the environment RAPIDLY after an action.

Should the SHTF here in the U.S., I'm thinking most of the fighting will be in the cities and populated areas . Therefore I'm not sure this video is very applicable to the coming type warfare. But, it can certainly be used for hunting or if you find yourself in a rural setting.

Unfortunately with the technology available to the enemy, we need to be learning how to hide from infrared/heat seeking and starlight observation and the like.

Also, what type communication systems will be effective against the current technologies we face? The authorities have the ability to shut off phone lines, cell towers, internet, tv, cable, etc. etc.

Any info on those subjects available?
