Radio Contra Episode 76: Interview with Hawkeye of UW Gear

Episode 76: I’m joined by Hawkeye of UW Gear and Alpha Charlie Concepts to talk gear selection for preppers and partisans working off of their own local support networks and why this is a far different mentality than what most consider. We talk what goes into the unique designs of his gear and why, training considerations, and where your training focus needs to be now.

Excellent!
I hope you make it to 100 Episodes by the end of the year!!!
We certainly have no shortage of material for entertainment, training, commentary, and valuable lessons for SOL.

    I’m actually backed up on Contra episodes, Scout. You’re putting ’em out at a fast clip.

Scout, if it isn’t too much trouble, could you post the link to the article from 2015 about chest rigs you were talking about in this episode? I’d like to read it if it’s still out there, but I wasn’t able to find it.

  I want to say there’s an older one, but I can’t find it. Maybe NC Scout can.

RC and a cigar is a fine way to unwind in the evening. Great conversation.
