What is Dirty Civilian?

- Опубликовано: 30 июл 2024
- Our nation won its independence thanks to armed, organized, and competent civilians. But their survival and continued success only happened because those capable men built strong families and resilient communities for generations before.
In this video, Josh Lowry and Drew Hopkins discuss the purpose and passion behind the launch and future of Dirty Civilian.

01:30 What is a Dirty Civilian?
10:02 The Mission
45:31 Content Roadmap
I was in the military for 6 years. Some had that mentality that civilians dont need ARs or to train and be proficient. Even more scarier is that some almost had us vs them. I did my time and got out. And when i was in i was happy to see civilians training and being proficient while the military is off in some foreign nation on the other side of the world to "protect freedom" which is a lie i never believed. The governor in my state has done more to attack my freedom than all of the taliban and al-qaeda. Another lie is that someone in the military is well trained and knowledgeable. I shoot more in a year as a dirty civilian now than i did in the 6 years i was in the military. And at the end the US was never meant to have a standing army to fight foreign wars. We were meant to be well armed and trained militia. To work regular jobs and be ready at a moments notice to stop attacks.
Spot on with the no standing army. Hard to get entangled in a foreign war if you have to convince the citizens it is enough of a threat to drop everything in their lives and go fight the threat. Hard to continue a forever war when the soldiers figure out they were lied to and they can go home at any time.
Sadly, it all went sideways straight off the bat with Washington and the Whiskey Rebellion.
Right on.
AMEN BROTHER!!
…awesome post. Couldn’t agree more..
I think my time in the military was moreso to spend time attaining a particular experience and skillset, and to train to add to my overall lethality and capability as an individual, and to be familiar with battle tactics, maintain excellent physical shape, learn absolute self sufficiency and resilience, to operate under extremely dangerous and uncomfortable conditions and still be capable, coordinated, fast, enduring, and lethal. To learn this mindset took earning your keep, and understanding that through a lot of crippling stress, isolation, and being broke for a long time through hardship that I have the resilience to be ready and prepared for life, to defend others, my country, my homeland and it’s people, and prove my loyalty as an Infantryman to the Constitution of the United States, against all enemies, foreign.. and domestic.
I'm a Afghanistan Veteran and you guys are doing great work. Anyone willing to learn how to protect themselves and nation shouldn't be stopped. Everyone has something to bring to the table. Keep doing your thing boys.
WHOA... BROTHER
@@NoNo_IStay alright* 💀
Mad respect bro! We all need to consolidate for sure!
Amen brother
I am myself brother
Never served and never been a part of any forces. But I’m a civilian who has escaped the sheep mindset a while ago and started holding myself accountable to be a better, stronger, smarter man. Lost weight, got fit, trained and became a pistol certified, and continuously working on my self improvement! This is such a major need for most modern men. I just ran my first marathon and I believe our only limits are our mindsets! We start with ourselves and then help community! Cheers gentlemen!
It's a mindset everyone should have. We are a Nation to be feared not seen as weak. We are our lowest treatment of how we treat our prisoners, mental illness, homeless, and drug addicts. If everyone starts evolving themselves for the better. The Nation can change. A lot of people need to stop with the anxiety medz. Not everyone needs pills. Why is meds still being giving to children that warps their growing brain?
Ayeee!!! I’m on that grind too! I salute your progress and discipline 🫡
@@randalltexasshop2236 so true. Anxiety is healthy and there are ways to deal with even severe forms of it. I have anxiety and I have been on addictive anxiety medication for many years. Although low dose it’s taken every single day and has only covered things up but made the root of the problem worse. I work out 6 days a week for months now and all mental issues have vanished!
Besides this major downfall, I am someone with many skills, a well educated mind, and motivation to always learn/better myself.
I always said if someone were to offer to help me pay for a facility that safety gets me off my prescription medication, I would go immediately without question.
Stay away from these medications and never put your kids on it! Doesn’t matter if you are an absolute unit, if the time came where pharmacies closed, you would be completely screwed and maybe not survive
Those who "served" are a big part of the problem. Be REAL careful about trusting toothed sheep.
@@randalltexasshop2236 Why? Because they make BILLIONS doing it!
I had several friends come to me and asked me to teach them combat and survival techniques. #1 I grew up in small town Maine so outdoors was life, #2 I was a Scout and Infantry in the Army and National Guard and #3 I served 3 combat tours over the course of 15 1/2 years total service. Those friends are now very capable of defending themselves and their community if so needed in under many trying conditions.
Scouts are the eyes and ears of the Army. They definitely learned from someone who knew their shit.
@kinocorner976 too bad most infantry commanders don't know how to use us in the Army 😂
When I got into the firearms industry 10 years ago, I asked a fellow coworker if he had ever served in the military and his response was "nah, I'm just a dirty civilian." I then realized this was the group that I belonged to since I had never served in the military. It was an instant badge of honor that I wore proudly through the years in the gun industry. So proud of you boys for this new venture and absolutely sure this will resonate with millions of like minded men.
Our thoughts exactly. Thanks dude!
I have a job interview for Event Staff Coordinator/Consultant and I hope they ask me if I was in the military so I can say "nahh, I'm just a Dirty Civilian" lol
You don't have to serve in the armed service to serve your country. Doing your civic duties (voting, whether you think it actually counts or not) owning a firearm, training tactically, staying informed, building your community up, and being a good father/mother/brother/sister/son/daughter. That's more than 95% of civilians are willing to do.
@@BuckFoeJiden Agreed. I served my community in Miami, FL as a Paramedic from 2006-2010 and was honored to do so. Been in the gun industry since then and "did you serve in the military" is always a main question among dudes. Happy to see that us dirty civilians not giving a fuck anymore.
@@lukershoots I'm here to tell you man, some of the best people I've ever met in my life wore the same uniform I did... and some of the sorriest excuses of wretched beings in human form wore it too. Signing up for four years so you can get a half assed degree and a 29% interest rate on an auto loan doesn't make vets any better than anyone else.
What matters is character, dedication, tenacity and heart. That's a human quality, not something you get from a contract or an oath.
It's not like they're trained to be especially knowledgeable about firearms, about 90% or more are considered support personnel, only one tenth of one percent get training that means Dick, and some of the guys in the SOF community are scumbags too.
Besides, once you end term of service you're back to being a dirty civilian who's stationed at Ft. Living Room too.
As an 82nd Airborne Combat Veteran, I appreciate what y’all are doing and stand for. We are the Minute Men of this century. Keep training, keep preparing, keep building. All The Way!
This the most federal thing I’ve ever seen. If this is real God bless them, but this seems like an extremely well executed psyop. How did you guys find this? Why did RUclips put this in my recommended? It’s a channel with 10k subs? I don’t think that’s ever even happened to me before. These guys even seem like actors. Have you ever seen a military larper talk like a drama school student? Dude in the green has a cali girl accent.

@@samb202 lol stop being so paranoid, dude. They are both good men. I’ve been following Drew for years and Josh for almost as long. They’re principled dudes. You’re falling for the ultimate psyop of being too paralyzed and paranoid by fear of everyone being a fed to recognize goodness when you see it.

I hope this spreads across the country. More men need to come together, learn together, train together and keep each other accountable. Build strong families and teach those values to our kids. Bring back brotherhood
The real problem with this is a large amount of people with this mentality tend to side with the "lets steal the election" demographic and dont realize that they're drifting towards it being 10x worse. Somehow the concept of "freedom" has been hijacked by people who want to control you, keep you poor and make your women into slaves.
More MEN dont need to come together, more REAL MEN need to build their women up into STRONG WOMEN. Train your boys, train your girls, prepare them for the ones who want them to be chattel.
Love some of the content on here but the idea of exclusively targeting "Strong men to build strong communities" sounds too much like militant religious conservatives trying to tell my daughter she's good for nothing but breeding. Pay attention lads, because this is how it sounds when the men who cant get a good woman want yours.
Time to find a female partner to bring in the 50% of the herd you've forgotten to target gents.
This was an immediate follow. As a vet, it warms my heart seeing a group of men reaching out to other men trying to better their community. This is an awesome project. And hearing Jesus in the mix! Bless you brothers and the works that you are going to do in Jesus name! I’m very excited to see what’s going to happen for ya’ll in the future! Bring it on!
Im a woman raised by enlisted men. My grandfather retired from the Navy as a Master chief, my dad also served and then went into law enforcement before going into electrical work, and my brother spent time in Kuwait. As the only girl, my dad taught me to do my own maintenance around the house and to my vehicle without help of a man incase the need arises. He also taught me how to handle a fire arm safely. I often forget that I was privileged to be taught these things as a woman. While I share your beliefs that it is a man’s responsibility to lead, I also believe it is a woman’s responsibility to support her husband and make his burden lighter.
In modern society many young men aren’t even being taught these things. I’m so glad you came across my time line and I’ll be looking forward to your future endeavors.
Kudos to your dad! I as a father, also have taught both sons and both daughters to make repairs to their own vehicles and homes. On top of that, they all know how to hunt, garden, survival skills, and water treatment and location. All can shoot both guns and archery equipment (my personal preference hunting), own their own arms, 2 have archery equipment, and 2 are serving in the Marines currently. I also want to say that I am impressed that you are open minded to the belief that women are to support their man. Also men to support their women but have roles to fill outside of that. You are a well rounded individual and be proud of yourself!
Fantastic to hear your thoughts and as a man, I am much stronger with a strong woman standing with me! I was blessed to find an amazing woman that has made me a better person! Thank you!
This is exactly why I teach my daughters everything I learned and would teach my son if I had one. I want them to be problem solvers not potential burdens. Be self reliant.
young man Today don't even know how to change a tire in a car.
@@Cruiser777 well then perhaps the generation prior should have given a bit more of a sht when raising their sons.
I'm a combat veteran, but everyone starts somewhere the infantry is just a tactical emergetion course. But it doesn't teach you how to farm or put up food. I've been homesteading almost as long as I was a leg. I've learned you need a tribe. Everyone has something to offer if they are willing to do or teach. We all need to teach what we know and learn from others. Become a tribe.
True.
One must recognize their tribe and join it. But the US has spent the last 80 years trying to demonize that very concept
what the hell is an emergetion?

No civilian should ever be embarrassed for training. There are so many great resources out there that you are very capable of becoming more proficient than 90% of our armed forces. I promise you that. So never apologize for training and never downplay your skills. As long as you’re doing the training correctly being trained by people that know and staying qualified. In fact, most of the military are 19-year-old kids and is a 30 year old person with a great life experience. You already have an advantage. Stay prepped stay ready stay vigilant and never apologize for being a bad ass.
I'm in an a rural area of Ohio and the closest classes that come to, or are in Ohio is a 3 hour trip one way from me and that adds to the expense and that is tough. I am also a little "Challenged" as in I have had 3 hip surgeries on my left hip and although I move pretty good I still can't run full bore. My reason for wanting to take some classes is so that I can learn for myself but also get proficient enough to pass the knowledge on to the local "Youngsters" who have ambition and determination that live in and around our little town and the little town that is 4 miles away.. I have convinced a lot of the locals that no one is going to fight off a group that has ill intent all by themselves and they especially aren't going to fight off a group of bad people with their 4 shot, bolt action 30-06 or 22-250.. I will keep looking and praying that a knowledgeable person or group of people venture close enough for a class that I, or a few people can attend, hopefully at least to help me unfuck my all of a sudden uncomfortable grip and form on my pistol that left me after two years of not shooting any more than 50 pistol rounds. My rifle shooting and form stuck with me for the most part but I'm sure a knowledgeable set of eyes could help me tighten up my rifle shooting
Former Special Tactics Officer here, and I absolutely love to see this type of stuff. I can also say that from inside special operations communities, most of the guys back this stuff fully. The "dirty civilian" stigma (at least I think so) was caused in part by the LARP guys who don't get training but have a full kit. Nothing wrong with that, just a bad stigma caused by it
>Former special tactics officer
>Sun Tzu
It checks out.
I'm a combat vet and have the utmost respect for anyone going down this path.
It seems to be the people that have never seen real combat talking the most shit.
Keep it up boys.
I haven't been in combat, but I had bullets fly by me that's enough for me.G.B.
The shit is coming to us by government in many ways. Regardless how much wishing reality away.
We didn’t want the shit, they force our hand eventually soon in my opinion
@Emmanuel Goldstein Dakota Meyer said only vets should train. Mr medal of hOnOr
@Emmanuel Goldstein this, seal clubbing 3rd world pleasantry like some abusive Samurai in the dark ages isn't all that valorous or impressive.
I never went into combat but was receiving casualties straight off Chinooks. Quite a high volume of trauma like a conveyor belt. Some veterans understand but I don't think 🤔 all do.
As a current police officer, I wish more civilan folks would take their safety, security and knowledge of the law into their own hands - I tell victims all the time, "Quit outsourcing your safety to the government". Love your movement and can't wait to see it grow. Rock on fellas!!!
Watch how you use civilian... Cops are civilians. You're either military or civilian. 🤷🏻♂️
Very true, unfortunately the government is doing everything it can to deter this. How many have gone to prison for defending themselves now compared to generations ago? Nowadays if the crack head doesn't ruin your life, the lawman will do his damnedest to in his stead
Government is what I pay taxes for, so that I can out source things like safety and rubbish collection and road work and shit. Also, not a coward who runs around in fear of my fellow citizens.
@The Cobra Commander really making sure you get that extra point in, huh bud?
@@craig.a.glesner who said anything about running around in fear? try harder to seem like a hardass you clown

As an old GWOT dude, this is the exact mentality every post-active duty civilian should embrace. We are out of the suck now, and able to shape and build the values we adhere to without stifling by command. Teach those around you the free lessons you experienced and learn from those that have risen beyond. Our mission is different now: its more personal. Have an open mind and continue on. Always forward.

Dear 'Tard: On 9/11 you relinquished your Civilization to a global Old Testament ethno-mafia that annihiliated 60,000,0000 Christians in Russia. To this day, you are on your feet and cheering like thunder as they murder millions of innocents in a dozen countries. You're a joke.
I'm not a brother in Christ as i am Norse Pagan but im all about this.
The power trip component is real, I definitely understand the gutteral feeling of wanting my military training to separate me, and to an extent, the fear is that my own lack of competence will be exposed by someone who is more capable with less training.
I'm glad I'm ideologically in your camp.
Our military training doesn’t separate us. It merely empowers us to teach our friends and family things they didn’t have an opportunity to learn. We’re force multipliers.
Gentlemen It is a badge of honor for you. You guys, from what I have seen of you, look very FIT and CAPABLE. On April 19, 1775 it was a bunch of very capable "Dirty Civilians" that started to through off the chains of tyranny.
As a 30 year deputy sheriff, 28. of which have been on a tactical team, and now as our offices training sergeant, I see there are things that I can learn from you guys.
I love your mission statement. The country needs more dangerous young men who know how to channel and focus that energy for good. Every man should live by the words of Robert Heinlein's Competent Man. It sounds like you men do.
Keep up the good work and I am looking forward to much more of your content.

Love this mission and I am proud to call myself a dirty civilian. I grew up my whole life living off of the land and learning self sustainment and it frightens me to see how dependent we have become. Even in my own family. Being a Dirty Civilian is so much more than being willing to protect your home. It’s being willing to protect our way of life and freedoms at a moments notice. My high school mascot was a Minuteman & once I learned the true meaning of a minuteman I have been chasing that ever since. This Dirty Civilian lifestyle dates back to 1775 if you truly look at it. I am very proud to see that more and more people are starting to want to become independent and ready to protect their way of life. Much love from over in WV, and I am very proud to be a part of this tribe.
I did serve, and am glad there are “dirty civilians”’out there, minutemen and women who will keep this country free. God bless you and your efforts. This community will grow. Subscribed!
Sons and daughters of liberty. Thomas Jefferson's distand bastard can consistently hit a 2"x4" plastic armyman at 100 yards with a glock 19. It's in my blood....🇺🇸🗽🤘
Thats basically what they are, minute men. Intresting when you put it like that
Our country is not free. There is no freedom to keep.
Y'all randomly popped up in my feed, and this sounds like the exact kind of thing I've been looking for/trying to create myself. Just dudes who are looking to better themselves, learning skills, and showing how to learn them. Hopefully, you inspire this in others.

Man you guys just opened my eyes. I’ve been into firearms training and prepping for a few years now and always felt like a wannabe and that I seem crazy but now that I’ve seen this video I don’t feel alone. Thanks guys I’ll keep an eye out for your future videos
There's nothing wrong with becoming a well trained civilian. With the lunatics that run our government and make Americans enemies of the world, it's ridiculous to NOT be trained in firearms, survival, and resilience.
We need more of this. Civilian focused and good content. Folks who don't gatekeep training or knowledge. I'm glad I found you guys, I'm here for the ride.
Dude this is great. I love the idea. I’m the only one in my family taking shooting, training, medical, and fitness seriously. And I feel like this speaks to a majority of people in the “gun community” that are seeing the signs and taking things seriously. I’m excited to see where this goes.
Just don't go around shooting substations like the Dirty Nazi Civilians.
It's more than a gun thing, It's an identity thing. It's about being men who care and love. Truly, it's about being the men that God calls us to be. It's about prioritizing what God prioritizes. Loving others, Faith, family, relationships, community, righteousness, truthfulness, compassion, serving, humility, and selflessness.
I love what y'all are doing and am so excited to watch this movement grow. Glad to hopefully be my own individual piece of an entire movement towards being a great man (I'm far from it, but hopefully growing daily)
I'm proud to be a Dirty Civilian.👊
I absolutely love this man, and you are so right.
I'm so glad there's people focusing on this idea of us citizens getting off our butts and doing the work that needs done for this country, I admit I've gotten complacent and haven't been doing enough but I'm working on it and am inspired!!!
"You can make a point or you can make a difference" love this and will be incorporating this in my work and family life.
Great intro and I’m excited to see what will come in the future. I’m basically the only one in my family with these idea and I have no outlet to speak these ideas without ridicule. These videos remind me I’m not alone. Thank you

I have to say how incredibly thankful I am that you are doing this, and how lucky I am that I stumbled across this channel! For the last year or so I've been focusing on bettering myself and becoming more rounded in my knowledge of, and proficiency in, a vast array of different subjects. The way I put it, I wanted to become a "Modern Renaissance Man". Now I can focus on being a Dirty Civilian and build up the community around me while continuing to improve myself!
Retired Army vet here. I support you guys 100%. Keep it up.
I’m a Veteran who served before and after 9/11 and deployed for OEF and GWOT. As a former member of the military I will tell you that we eat our own and it’s an extremely frustrating and negative aspect of the “bro” vet community. These are the guys who call other vets POGs. I mean the irony is that we were supposed to learn how to operate as a team, yet we get out, grasp our own personal experiences, and crawl into a dark box looking down on anyone who didn’t sign up and raise their right hand and take the exact same path as us. I mean come on. This has to stop. If shit goes down, do you really want to withhold your knowledge, pigeon hole your family, friends, and neighbors, and let them die while you look down on them? I have gotten to where I pity other veterans who look down on civilians in such a manner. It’s pathetic and only exists because some of these veterans have let themselves go while civilians have spent their own time and hard earned money to better themselves. To all motivated civilians out there who want to learn how to defend what you hold dear-don’t ever quit. Keep going. It may fall to you to save your own life or loved ones, do you really care what some ex-Grunt curmudgeon thinks about what you’re doing with your life?
Thank you for your service brother. When SHTF the military and civilian world will collide and will need to work together
(I mean no hate toward you as an individual)
Nope, I don't care what they think. At least I kept my dignity and didn't sign up for an unlawful part of the federal government, to perform a task that had nothing to do with freedom and everything to do with destroying it. I considered joining after 9/11, but decided against it because I didn't want to be used in a foreign corporate war. The standing military is not a lawful organization, except the navy.
Don't get me wrong, I don't hate individuals who did participate, but I do hate the system. Now that we've had the GWOT, there are more terrorists, less freedom and the economic situation is worse. Seems to me like the "mission", failed miserably. The founders warned us over and over again to NOT get involved in wars abroad, to NOT allow a foreign multinational corporate banking system. They warned us that cities are a threat to the health, wealth and freedom of the nation... ALL of those warning have been ignored and the consequences are coming to fruition.
Thank you for this comment man. You're 100% right

Great intro !
Behind enemy lines in Western New York... My wife & I live the homestead lifestyle and try to stay as independent from 'the system' as possible. I tactically train as much as possible , and we both keep our focus on our lord Jesus Christ.
We are both looking forward to more content .
God bless
I love my firearms and the ability of readiness. But I don't think you should feel your fellow Americans as "enemies". Also, this is my country.. not YOUR church. We are not a Theocracy. (Iran is a Theocracy.) So, when you push that only people who are christains can be part of your cool group, kinda makes me feel like you're not the kind of person that out to help protect my community. You kinda sound like someone I need to defend myself from. (?)
I feel incredibly blessed to have found this channel: I am a hugely passionate member of the firearm’s community, and more and more recently an advocate for self sustainability, and community building, I love the purity represented in this channel and in this friendship, as well as your willingness to be shown as a novice or learner in multiple different fields and disciplines. So much of this is missing in our culture today and I’m grateful to be in touch with such a community. I am not a religious man myself, but I am certainly spiritual, and have great respect for those who put their faith in god. Thank you both again for making the content you do, keep it up!
I served as an Infantry Marine and I think this is great. There are definitely other ways to serve your Country and fellow man besides in the regular Military. I understand that it was not only an honor to have been able to serve the way I did but also a privilege NOT afford to some, for many reasons. Besides, in the end after our time is up we all return to being Dirty Civilians. Semper Fi!
I went into the Army in 90 and a pre existing knee injury reared it’s head and ended my military career about 4 weeks in. I’m now in my 52. My dad was a gunsmith and I was raised shooting. I now live literally next to ft Bragg and I have such a wealth of information to draw on from some of my neighbors. I have a spot of land that I can shoot on, unmolested, as well as growing food and soon to come there’s going to be animals that we can sustain ourselves. Much love from NC. Glad to know what my “tag” is🤙🤙🇺🇸🇺🇸

That is basically what happened to me in 88. Wasn't an old injury, was something that just popped one day at boot camp, in my lower back. After 3 days of not being able to move. They sent me home.

You are amazing examples of men, GODLY men at that, and I can't thank you enough for the content.

How did I guess Drew would be a part of this just by the channel name alone haha. Sub'd. Don't discount us that are still serving or have served. Many of us are with you!
As a Marine Corps Vet, and apart of West Ohio Minutemen, I approve of everything you are doing, this nation is filled with men and women who will stand, fight, help, share, and do anything for their families and country. no one should listen to anyone who says you shouldn't learn how to protect your family, your property, stand up for your rights, your beliefs. We as a nation should all be training for anything and everything, we should be preparing for any crisis, we should be reaching out young how to be bold and to do what's right.
I just stumbled across you guys recently and I love what y'all are doing. I feel like I finally found my tribe. I never enlisted but I always had the most in common with people that were in. I like to take personal responsibility and train and make sure I can protect myself and others if necessary. It's great to see soo many warriors out here getting after it. Damn I love this community already.
I was blessed. I was raised by a 101st ABN Recondo father (NAM). He always instilled in me the value of staying ready. I followed suit at 18 and joined the Green Machine. I’m 60 now, fit, strong and still training, and teaching. Our motto - Boots to Blade, Gun to Ground, be good everywhere. Just grind and build, surround yourself with like minded good men and stay accountable. As was quoted by the late Seraphim Rose, “The Apocalypse is Now.” Stay ready !!!!
Combat vet, but I’m 100% on board with every single person having the knowledge, the training, and the fortitude to protect themselves and their families. Rock on boys, glad to have you in the fight.
Army Infantry Vet here, deployed with USASF to Afghanistan, did some fun stuff, was in for a while - and I dont understand it. I don't understand the same dudes I stood next to, look at people like this and think "Dirty Civilian" or "stay in your lane". Most guys I served with love I put out some information we learned, but one guy I lost contact with found my stuff and LOST IT. "WHY DO YOU NEED ALL THAT GEAR!??!" or "WHY ARE YOU TEACHING CIVILIANS THIS!?!?!?" like....because they need to know it? Everything I see people doing - getting into more than just shooting, learning some tactics, building a team, learning comms, learning land navigation, learning logistics - gets me hard every morning knowing average civilians are doing this. I want to give my perspective why I believe this - and why I think some fellow vets of mine dont.
Why I believe civilians need to do this is because the military WILL NOT come and save you. If we were ever invaded full force, you will not see American troops on your streets - youll see our invaders. Our military is not THAT big. Men (and ofcourse women) need to learn how to survive, how to defend themselves, how to stop your adversaries yourself with no help from the government. We all know we shouldn't trust the government with anything - especially with our lives. We need to be self reliant. Putting on a plate carrier and a helmet with NODs is NOT LARPING. Larping is "pretending" - but you guys are.not pretending. You guys are training. What I see all the civilians doing is real and I love it and I love being apart of this among civilians. I love being able to pass some information down to others and I love civilians teaching me stuff the military didn't.
Now, why I believe some veterans think its dumb (because I know a few that do) - they have PTSD, but as do I. They have anger issues, some DO get some sense of "entitlement" and it needs to be understood that a decent "chunk" of people who serve in the military (especially combat arms) tend to be sociopathic and will talk down upon you (I even had to question'd myself for a while if I was too because I just fucking loved getting into gunfights). Especially if, through their eyes, youre trying to do what they did for a living. Theyre angry, they checked out on life, and they see civilians doing what we used to do. A good majority of it is an "entitlement" issue. Another part of it Is they DO NOT understand or have seen the military in its full capacity - and do not understand our military or government will not come and save us. Again, they think you are LARPing. And another good portion is jealousy. Maybe if an SF veteran sees you guys in videos doing dope ass training with NODs and really, really good gear, it pisses them off they had to go through a whole pipeline to do that professionally - and you didn't. Its sad to me theres veterans out there that just dont understand this. Ive tried to make some of my fellow veterans understand and theres a chunk of them I just cannot make them understand. They truly, truly, believe the government will just take care of you - but we know they wont.
The argument I hear from some vets I know is "Well, they should have just joined the military then." When they know for DAMN SURE the military is NOT for everyone. The military is NOT just what the "Dirty Civilian" is doing. Theres far more too it and its not for everyone. Shit, even being in firefights is not for everyone and these same veterans I know have seen it first hand. We have seen guys literally just break down and lose it and cry for their moms in a firefight. We deal with it in the moment, and then we send them back to Bagram or J-bad or wherever to spend the rest of the deployment because they refuse to fight. They found out at the worst time ever - none of what we were doing was for them. And thats ok. It doesnt make any less than a man - its just not something you can handle. Some of us have limits and all our limits are different. Some of us preferred being in combat, over being back in the states. Back in the states its like youre in a Boarding School, while combat is like they took the leash off and let us run free. I could not fucking STAND being stateside. And Thats where it wasn't for me anymore.
I know this is some kind of TL;DR comment, but I want people to know there are veterans, there are former Mil/SOF guys who fucking loveeeeeeeee seeing this. Who fucking love seeing men and even women pick up arms, train to a high standard, and become capable fighters on their own. I rose my right hand and swore to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Alot of us believe that Oath is for life. The Second Amendment is not just about "the right to keep and bear arms". It states this nation will have a militia, that must be well armed and well maintained, as it is necessary to the security of our free nation - and for that? The right of THE PEOPLE to keep and bear arms - shall not be infringed.
Keep training, and keep training hard my dudes!
Never heard of you guys before this, absolutely fantastic video. Just want to say a few things
1. I have a group I train with and I'm the only veteran, the guys I run with would run circles around most of the guys I was in the military with, being a dirty civilian is great and honestly guys who train who were never military are better than guys who were military for 4 years and then never touched gear again.
2. Faith is absolutely essential I feel, regardless of the religion I agree. I am Christian my wife is Muslim (long story), and I will honestly will say whether you follow the Bible or something else having that moral compass and relationship with God is essential
3. I love how you bring up its not about destroying but building, that's why most revolutions fail. There is no long term plan, just hate for what's there
4. I also love how you bring up the fact that the shooting and combat side is only a sliver and you have to be competent in life, and that has to start somewhere
Fantastic video and I am definitely going to follow your stuff in the future.
Absolutely right about the faith part. As a Christian, I’m inclined to share the gospel as I’m called, and it’s easy to get caught up religious arguments. But any faith is better than no faith, and I hold Muslims in Jews in high regard. The moral code is essential for a successful life on earth.
Agreed, this type of content is popping off because everyone wants it but never seems to be a demand for it
I love this. I myself am serious about getting stronger in every aspect. I work on fitness, survival skills, homesteading, etc., and am a believer of traditional roles and values - they've stood the test of time.
I used to be weak, in many ways. A strung out drug addict, entertaining extremely toxic relationships, broke, using loved ones, etc. I'm glad I got the chance to turn my life around. I view my training and education as something I *get* to do. There are people without the ability to walk, dress themselves, work on their home, etc. It would be a disgrace if I took that for granted.
I am trying to get my family (mostly siblings and close friends - I'm not married and don't have children) to take this life more seriously - to get fit and sober, learn sustainment skills, think about arming themselves. Sadly, most of them have too much faith in our government. One even told me they'd rather just die than have to run everyday. I am still trying, though. I'll give them a nudge here and there. Really hoping to find a community of like minded individuals in my area.
I came across your tactical homesteading video, I currently only have some backyard crops, but want to get my own land to start in earnest. I liked your "stick it to the man" attitude and your tactical mindset so much that I decided to check out your other content. Loving what I'm seeing so far. Keep up the great work, brothers. Wishing you a peaceful sky over your head.
Ive been a Dirty Contractor for 16+ years, being a Dirty Civilian is an easy pick up! Love your stuff!
You don’t find these guys mildly off putting?
@@WeaverMTN why would he?
They advocate for a well trained, well disciplined, competent community. One that wants to build stronger and raise themselves by lifting others.
That’s the epitome of what an American should be.
@@MyLonewolf25 I know and I definitely see a lot of that these days which is good… I just think that we should all be pretty aware of the fact that we as minute men could be easily manipulated in the control of foreign influence. At least at the initial start of WW3.
I just thought it was odd they had 108,000 views on a video that’s 5 days old with a page that only has 5 videos. How did these guys break the RUclips algorithm right off the bat especially with a message like the one they preach.
@@WeaverMTN They also have a instagram plus they are already content creators that have bigger pages that they share this stuff on.
@@shadowyairsoft7970 guess I’m just paranoid… can’t blame these days we live in the twilight zone
Humility isn’t thinking less of oneself… but thinking of oneself less… The algo brought you guys to me yesterday and I really enjoyed your remarks! Subbed and following… as a believer myself, leading my family into the future as defender and provider I’ve been taking us underground and out of sight as much as possible the past few years. I’m still overtly participating in society and economy, but like many I think, my covert activities are increasing behind the scenes and growing to be the majority of what my household is doing. I’m unashamed of my dirty civilian status… minuteman-wise it’s who we are as a nation. But that doesn’t mean likeminded community allies can’t come from that background. We should all be stepping towards each other more these days… a time is coming when we’ll need each other more than we need our egos on social media. Looking forward to whatever you have next.
As a man that has not been in the military nor in law enforcement however I do train I live in Phoenix Arizona and I train every single chance that I can with my 226 and my M4I couldn't agree with you more and I'm so glad and grateful and thankful that you have made this video and got it out there in the community. I've got 3 radios I've got my ham License. For years I've been wanting to get men together that live in other States and communicate back-and-forth build relationships and do FT x's as often as we could do them.. All I can tell you at this point time is you're a breath of fresh air.
As a 20 year Army Infantryman, who had a small firefight in Somalia, I think anyone who stands up for our Constitution is a Great American. I used to talk smack about National Guard Soldiers, until I realized that many NGs were combat veterans from before my time. This was a wake up call for me and I have never forgotten it. America First, always. If you stand with me, I will support you to my dying breath.
I was born with a major heart condition with 3 open heart surgeries and couldn't join the military , I am so glad that found this channel because I bought a plate carrier and an AR and have my first ar and pistol classes coming up. when i family and friends come over and see my plate carrier and safe they look at me like i was crazy and was told many times that I don't need any of that because we have the police to protect us and that i would never need that. also I begun somewhat prepping and learning how to bushcraft little by little. but Knowing that there are other "average Joes" like myself that want to take be ready to protect not only my family but be able to be ready to protect my community.
Same page…minus the heart history.
Rad stuff dudes.
I was mil, and I like your mindset and direction. This is the way. Even the most hardcore operator started at nothing, trained a variety of skills, did dry runs, walkthroughs, and made mistakes. And they all learned from experts in the skillsets like first aid, land nav, etc. The only issue I've ever taken with non-mil people, are those that claim to be experts in tactics but have never employed them outside of a range - and only because sharing bad tactics gets people killed (and mil isn't excluded from that). Like the rest of your strategy it's a set of interconnected skills based on a lot of trial, error, blood, and sweat, and requires someone that knows to share that knowledge.
But that also intersects with making a point vs making a difference. You need both. Something that men lost is the ability to take criticism and turn it into something constructive. Failures in tactics, or food storage, or preps, can all get you killed. If people are apathetic and don't care, they aren't going to rip on you. So that leaves two types. Those that want to see you elevate yourself to better heights, and those that want to tear you down. The former builds you up, and taking that criticism in helps build resilience. The latter builds resilience as well, and is just a small taste of adversity to come. Just some food for thought.
As a former 11bravo 1 pappa, you guys keep rocking this idea self sufficiency! There isn't enough of this going on in our country. Hope this goes viral . I'm afraid we will be needed at some point.
what you people is doing is not only needed but appreciated. Thank you from a another vet
This is the type or individuals I want to be a part of, this mindset I need in my life. Happy I found this channel. I look forward to trying to reach out locally here in Utah to be a part of something bigger. Glad I am not the only one thinking this way. Thank you all for being Americans!
One of Josh’s post lead me to find a group of man that strive to be better shooters, most of them turn out they are family men like me with similar goals. Will be following closely. Thank you.
Incredible. That post is still talked about a lot internally. Definitely want to do more like that to help people build groups and teams.
Same here! Made two really great friends in my area that are like minded, we train regularly but also hang out for fun when we can!
You had me at "How dare we?". I'm used to "pesky citizens" but doesn't roll off the tongue like "Dirty Civilian" 👍🇺🇸
Rick Gore! Lol. Love that channel.
@@josephkuser3998 Gun peeps! 👍
I love the idea of this moment, and thoroughly enjoyed hearing you both explain it in detail. I especially appreciated you diving into your background and how this movement is back by your faith! Subscribed and definitely following!
Former IDF RedBoot n IDPS agent, amongst other things. Ole paradog now with 15 gkids. I was just killing time n glad I ran onto your video. Was nice to hear reference to God's word n why we ALL need to have Jesus Christ teachings as a standard in our lives. Being a old dog, its encouraging that there's still young men who want to stand for good n with conviction in their hearts for their fellow Americans. Never give up your freedoms, especially your firearms n faith
Fantastic video, very informative and inspiring! There are a lot of us out here that feel the same way! I am retired Marine and definitely consider myself a dirty civilian! I’ve been all around this incredible world and have seen the way many different governments view and treat their people and I for one won’t ever be told to stay in my lane! My lane is my life and it’s ever growing and I’ll do whatever it takes to make my lane as wide as possible!
This is a thought that I have had for a while. Thanks gentlemen for getting the wheels in motion. I feel that there are many who are finally getting over the tactical glam-tubers and are waiting for a more practical wave of family oriented individuals who are focused on building rather than breaking. God bless!
46 years old, family man and a desk jockey for 25 years with a bad back, and I am all about training to be the best version of myself. You guys are a great inspiration and source of information. Keep up the awesome work
Still trying to find a group that I can fit into. I'm paralyzed from the waist down, so short of a high speed tacticool new type of chair (which I am working on), I wont be much help in a fight. But I can tend a garden, collect eggs, cook, I can still drive any automatic vehicle, I can operate most heavy equipment (that I can get into), I can even fly a plane too. So I have a place, just plugging into a serious group, and plugging into that place has been difficult.
Get into comms. Learn comms and you will be the most valuble asset in the group.
@@madbroindustries I'm trying. There's just A LOT to take in. And I've never been particularly adept at drinking from fire hoses.
It amazes me what kind of obstacles people overcome when preparedness is important to them. Thank you so much for sharing. Would love to hear more about this. Shoot us an email at team@dirtycivilian.com.

Knowledge is the most important tool you can have
I am a woman and the bread winner and run everything, I love this. My spouse thinks I am hoarding food. I have been self sufficient all my life and a camper ++ can't wait.
This is exactly what we need. This mindset, this mission, this movement... Cheers from a Brazillian dirty civillian.
Im so thankful for finding yall. Seriously its comforting to know there are ALOT more men and women who think like we do, than dont. I feel like ive found a kind of home base of sorts... my husband will surely feel the same once he watches. Keep going and my prayers are with us all.
Make sure you understand that if you're breaking the sabbath, doing paganism🎄🎅🎃🐰, eating pork, and doing orthodox/catholic idolatry God's not gonna hear your prayers
Proverbs 28:9 He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.
Just a reminder that you don't need the 2nd amendment as a Christian. Romans 13:1-7 inside your Bible says that if you are going use those guns against the government, God's servants to punish Christians that do 🎅🎄🎃🐰and break Sabbath, you will be punished by God
The Christian church is apostate and against the 10 commandments. They teach the opposite of what the Messiah did, preaching faith alone, OSAS, pretrib rapture nonsense, and they're promoting pagan idolatry like Christmas and Easter. Google the origins of these holidays, it's all ancient Roman and Babylonian god worship that the Lord hates, found nowhere in the Bible. If you want to be saved then you need to actually start obeying the instruction of God, which means not being a partaker of this stuff and keeping the 10 commandments. The church follows the Roman Empire's 321 AD Sunday law instead of the actual Saturday Sabbath commandment, which is the same problem Christ had with the Pharisees
Mark 7:6-7
King James Version
6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
We're supposed to follow the Messiah in truth. Flee from the lies of the church and repent. We can't break the Sabbath, eat abominations like pork and shellfish, or be a partaker of worldly idolatry like praying to wood statues or crosses or christmas and easter. Yeshua, the Messiah, taught you how to be great in the kingdom:
Matthew 5:19
King James Version
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Loving your neighbor means to rebuke sinners so they repent:
Leviticus 19:17-18
King James Version
17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.
18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the Lord.
But the hippie Jesus church prefers tolerance which is why they're going to be destroyed.
Good luck to you men. I have attempted to do a lot of work in my communities since 2016 in prep for what is now going on, and either people didnt believe there was a need, or they were too scared to show up on the radar. I tried to help admin with the threepers in my state back in 2018, but they didnt like that i wasnt ex-leo or ex-vet. Ive even just tried to give knifemaking courses to locals for free to help build community. One person, my neighbor, has kinda stuck around for about 2yrs now. Even the "weird prepper neighbors" up the street dont want anything to do with it. Not sure why but this has been an almost impossible dream for me. Even my own family refuses to train or even live conservatively.
Luckily i posess an unreal amount of totally random skills, basically surrounding survival, but not entirely. Only because ive always been a knowledge junkie, and always been able to see the downfall. But... all of the people that wont cooperate or learn just insist that "im sure youll handle it if shtf ever happens", as if its going to be a one-day event. We both know this is generational. This is "new life" level stuff.
Idk... ive basically given up, but im glad there are good people accomplishing these things out there. May the powers that be provide you, and guide you in times where the teachings youve had cannot.
Godspeed.
Best thing to do is treat it like a "fun hobby" most people will accept it.
Ppl understand hobbies and fun.
Throw a few jokes like "yeah it's for the zombie lol" or the "incase of aliens "
People will laugh it off.
What's your take on this Chanel? Almost seems too good to be true.
@@whyisthisnottyping That will work .
Proud to be a deplorable dirty citizen. Love your concept and looking forward to more videos. This is much needed in today's environment...
I just came across your channel and this specific video. First time hearing the term, but have been on the same page that you speak about for a very long time. Have had numerous people, friends, family .. etc always talk down to me being responsible, train, and everything else related exactly to what you speak about here. - the people who shame those of us who should “ stay in line and let everyone tell us how to live “. Are the same who always said things related to the internet and security always saying “ well… if you aren’t doing something wrong you have nothing to worry about “… WRONG. As they collect every bit of data they can on everything. The problem is that we don’t fully know who actually has access to the data, what they do with it and how they will use such data and information. Knowing that you guys have stepped up, shared this label, and stand tall forward facing - I thank YOU. Had I not trained my brother to carry at the very least when out in the bayous, acres of land… etc. ( and his buddies ridiculed him constantly). He might not be here with us. Being jumped by 3 mountain lions( mom and 2 grown cubs), he would not have been able to defend himself. Beyond that being a responsible gun owner is not a passive action. It requires regular training and following the core rules of safety. I have taken on someone under my wing and set up a schedule to do even basic training not just let my beliefs regarding proper firearm ownership and safety, becoming second nature, but to ensure the numerous people out there that I have come across actually know what that means and what it takes I had my first for one session with them over the weekend and I was ridiculously shocked at what I witnessed, and had to correct immediately and almost and should have snatched the firearm out of their hand just simply going through a safety check and making sure the weapon was cleared, which only drives home even further the need to train this person. And Stupid but the actions they took and when I was giving commands to see what their reaction was because we were not at a firing range and we were not in a concealed carry class hi what’s the side myself and I’ll lead into them pretty hard I can’t have that happen again on top of the fact that they wanted to videotape me while I was on the firing line And I very explicitly follow hard range rules and I went over all of this with them and they thought it was so cool that I was doing this thing and I told them very specifically if they were not to move they’re supposed to stay in a specific position behind me, and then, if anyone’s rolled up on Liam, when we were training that I was to be alerted immediately, no matter if I was facing or not, and yelling is a thing and they thought it was all fun and games because we were on private property and I ended their training that day and I sat down with him and explained everything I don’t know what came over them if it was because we weren’t on the range or weren’t in the middle of a class and they’re not stupid but they did the most stupid thing you can do with the firearm and I told them the only time that you’ll be seeing that side of a firearm is win someone else has you in their sights. I don’t train because it’s cool I don’t train tactically because it’s some shit I watch on TV I train because training is important consistent just a generalized Fireline training not even tactical training is critical to being able to react and any moment in time, not in the malicious way people just don’t understand people think it’s a joke the thing that also concerns me the most these days and I saw years ago as well. As people going to concealed carry classes they were firing a gun there’s nothing wrong with that, but when they walk out because all the sudden they’re scared because of the things that topic sentence what neither being discussed that blows my mind because it just goes to show how naïve and ignorant people are. Yeah, they want to protect them selves, but they haven’t taken the time to even contemplate. The basic operation of a firearm, tearing it down, maintaining cleaning regular time at the range to get familiar and make it second nature is of the upmost importance just as much as it is every time you pick up a firearm you make a treat as if it’s loaded you check it every time and to see people go to those classes at since so many times it’s the first time they went out and bought it do you whatever concealed carry style pistol on, they realize that it’s not the one of the fits her hand, and shoots well or whatever it is, and to see people walk out with a shock and all of the hard facts of the whole classes are about a man it’s buy new means rocket science, but extremely serious responsibility and actions to take on. Everybody wants to be safe, but if you don’t invest the time, all you’re gonna do is become a risk and a liability to you to others and you’re going to be a statistic I’m extremely happy to find your channel and I hear you guys discuss these things even beyond what I’ve mentioned because it’s the reality of the world we live in; kudos. If you guys ever need any help or sharing stories, or whatever, don’t hesitate to reach out, I have seen all kinds of things just as much as you guys have, and it was almost like it was meant to be for me to just randomly come across your channel today I have several friends that are the same exact belief and the other ones are all on the other side of the fence even my own dad, he called my brother and I warmongers at one point years ago just because we had semi automatic pistols and now his opinion and perspective on life at the time was that there’s no need for all that well, the reality is years later, when a specific molecule you melt that was top-of-the-line everything in the box and ready to go and yell reputable company. I hit them up and I’m fucked. I don’t know how many I personally talk to people in the buying, but he actually went out and purchased one because of everything. I told him about it and the same guy that called me a warmonger understands now that we know life is life and the old adage of call the police and call pizza guy and see who gets there first I am it’s true, we have the right to protect ourselves. In various manners, and owning a firearm is a very serious responsibility. You pull that sugar there’s no take backs and being a responsible owner outside of all the other factors, you guys discuss is some of the most important mission, critical actions, and knowledge that you must have just because you’re old enough to go purchase does it mean anything when I was 18 years old the mentality of an eight year old that era was well above and beyond what I’ve seen recently I just had this discussion not a week ago with some friends of mine because I was at a gun show a couple of years ago and saw 318 year olds walking around they just purchased you’re the first rifle lol of course it was a semiautomatic this and that platform and all I heard was them cackling like a little children about how this is just like in the game That is the wrong and Talladay wrong thought process in the wrong perspective to take on any of it. You pull the trigger and there’s something at the other end of that you must be understanding the repercussions of your actions let alone the ownership thereof and it is a major responsibility and right, but that right comes with responsibility. No different than driving a car But yeah people that equate those two things together. Regardless of the fact that you could be driving a three-quarter ton or a ton and a half vehicle and come up on say somebody on a motorcycle they don’t have any protection or as much protections they can, but there’s no airbags there’s no real crash zones and crumple zones. You hit the pavement. You’re lucky to get up and I just hope and wish and do my best to offer even the simplest of training to any of my friends and acquaintances, who I find out purchase firearms for the first time or a new style or platform that I like used to my own brother bought a new platform he is not familiar with who called me personally for advice, and I found out at Christmas that he did go out and purchase it over a year ago he’s never fired at once, and I have extended out to him the same thing and extend it out to several People and it all starts with tearing it down and the link it back up and understand how to maintain it then going out to the range and starting to learn and get a feel for things. Just boggles my mind. Keep up the good work!
This needs to succeed. It's important people have a place to access this information. Your mission is vital. Praying for you all
There are millions of us in this same vein. Thank you gentlemen.
This is outstanding I will pass the word to my group to follow you guys looking forward to more of this! God Speed brothers🇺🇸
I'm so happy to see Christian men stepping up with moral clarity and conviction to both recognize, face, and confront what's coming!
I've been seeing y'all pop out of nowhere all over the place in the last 6 months!
So what's coming ?
This video hit home. Deff Subbing to your channel. I'm a father of 3, Full time Automotive Mechanic, super into "tactical" lifestyle between guns, training, doing research, and actually wanting to get into RUclips for this very thing. I enjoy prepping, budget and expensive preps, being overboard or narrotic as my family likes to say but in reality I'm capable, prepared and for a while it was a hobby now im just into it. i took the red pill.
Glad this video found me. Hopefully someday I will be able to afford a home and live in a community with “dirty civilians”. Emerson would be proud of you men for helping others become self-reliant.
This was just suggested out of nowhere. Definitely a new subscriber. Keep pushing the knowledge gents. Find your tribe whether it's a bunch of vets or like minded dirty civvies and train, prep, get involved in local, state and federal happenings. Stay ready.
I recently started a neighborhood watch in my neighborhood. Our main focus, is building a communication network within the hood. We established the understanding that in the case of crisis or government collapse we need 3 things: spiritual uplifting, emotional support, and physical security. We're doing exactly what you are, and now we have a name for it. If you have any pointers, feel free to share because like you, we are experts in nothing but we'll versed in much.
I found your video on dirt bikes, and loved it! And then after watching this I have a new favorite channel. I never knew I was a dirty civilian but now I do. I absolutely love what you guys stand for and your mission. You are a lot like the Warrior Poet Society, which I also love. Keep up the good work!
Dirt Civilian and first-time listener here, 🤙🏼 amazing podcast. Really felt this 🙏🏼
I look up to both Drew and Josh very much, I am happy to get a chance to see more from Drew, cause he's always been more of a behind the scenes guy. I like yall's approach to this. Ever since i got into this preparedness/responsible citizen mindset thing; i've known that its about becoming more capable. But only in the last couple years have I really come to understand wholistically what that means. "And I say unto thee, That thou art Peter, And upon this rock i shall build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."
Mother of god i found the channel. The channel that is embodying everything i rant about. We can do it.
What an amazing video and channel concept. I'm a 10-year vet. Having served in the Navy, the only training I got in firearms was shooting a 1911 or a shotgun off the fantail at sea. I have always owned guns and fully supported the right to keep and bear arms but it was never something I put a lot of time and passion into. When Obama threatened to ban ARs after his election, I decided it was time to get one (some?) before they were gone. In the years since, I've put in a lot of time reading, studying, and yes, watching RUclips. I'm hitting 70 years of age far sooner than I had expected so I can't do the level of prep and training that you younger folks are doing but I'm extremely glad that you are doing them. I have been doing more to be prepared, stocking up, range time, and mindset.
I'll say that I am not an anti-government activist. I will use everything I have, including resources, my brain, my skills (such as they are), my blood, and my life, to defend the Constitution and even Biden's government from those who would overthrow it but I hope it never comes to that. I think a much more likely scenario for our dirty civilian skills is going to come from just the increase in crime and from criminal gangs coming in from all over the world. But I don't spend a ton of time worrying about even that. I just want to be as prepared as I can be to defend myself and my family from whatever the threats may be. I try to be open minded and aware of what potential threats there are but it is just as likely, perhaps more likely, that the threat I might need to defend against is something completely surprising.
If I understand what you guys are doing it is just build skills, exercise the rights to keep them and so that others begin to recognize these behaviors not just as rights but as normal and common activities of free men. Like I said, I can't keep up with you on training but I am looking forward to viewing many of your existing, and hopefully all of your new from today, videos.
Love this and I'm looking forward to see more from you people. Something like this has the potential to shift our culture and attitudes in a revolutionary way that's desperately needed right now.
I grew up in an LDS Family/Mormon. I’m not anymore…but they stress self reliance to the highest level. They have food and water storage down to a science. They are a great free resource to learn about what foods, how to store them, how to maintain it, what nutrients are needed, etc. They’ve done so much work in this area over decades. It’s worth checking out. Even though I no longer attend church I still have six months supply of food & water for my family and need to build up to two years. I hope we never have to use it. But it sure feels good to have it. I hope this helps you guys.
Agreed. While we don't align in beliefs, that church does implement Scouting through their youth curriculum which is incredibly valuable.
I grew up the same. Right now, I know a bunch of people that don't have 2 days of food and don't even think about water. When it comes, it's gonna hit hard. And it's definitely coming.
It’s refreshing to hear people who, obviously have a faith understand the need to be capable, dangerous, and good. Keep up the good work I look forward to following in participating in your movement however, I can.
Combat vet, firearms and bjj Instructor here. You guys are great! Keep up the good work!
This is honestly really exciting! RUclips recommended this to me, and I'm in. I love the ideas you put forward.
I'm at the beginning stage of just getting into actually owning guns, no military or LE background. And I did not grow up around guns.
But I shouldn't need to do that just to be able to learn how to use my gun, and figure out what gear I need.
This is honestly exactly what I'm looking for. Yes firearms are important but I also want to think about everything else that goes around it. And I don't just want to keep to myself, I want to encourage others around me. There's this idea that when SHTF you can just grab your backpack and AR and head into the woods and that's all you need. Sure in a fantasy setting that sounds nice. But ultimately you're going to need people around you that you can rely on, and they you that will ride whatever happens out. There still begs the question how do you go about building which is something I see missed a lot of times. That's something I want to learn myself as well.
I also really like your position of "I'm not an expert". Which is really refreshing. I'm completely new to all of this stuff, and it can seem intimidating just seeing experts and thinking "How can I possibly be at that level?"
Also the point of don't focus on destroying focus on building is really powerful. I frankly don't have the energy to constantly be outraged at everything the ATF or some company does. I'd rather put my energy towards something more productive. Yeah I'm not saying I'm fine with how things are. But I don't want to just focus on that stuff. There's got to be more productive things to worry about. And I appreciate how you said that.
Honestly from this first podcast this really is appealing to me. The topics you talked about are more or less thoughts I had playing in my head for a while, and this really spoke to all of that. So honestly thank you!
I cannot wait to see where this brand goes! After watching this video I'm in for the long-haul with y'all. Dirty civilian is a badge I'll wear with pride.
God Bless!
As far as building a community beyond your family goes, I think you start at church or with your friends that you currently have.
First step is forming good communication. What are your shared goals? What can you teach one another? How are you physically going to communicate in a bad situation?
Second is logistics. How are you going to feed your families? Do you have a way to replenish food and other supplies? How do you get from point A to Point B? How do you recover a member of your group in a bad situation?
Third is the high speed tactical stuff. Defending what’s yours comes first. Kicking in doors and taking the fight to the enemy comes second.
I like the reimagined concept of the Dirty Civilian. Seems like an honest way to look at the self while nourishing skills and the ability to handle troubles. Subscribed!
Edit: plus points for Lycaon Pictus mascot ~
im still in, navy and been in a year. I still have hope but I will always be prepared thanks to guys like you giving me the knowledge I need, thx.
I'v been calling my self a dirty civilian for years, I'm the only member of my family that didn't serve. even my mom was a sailor for 14 years. I love all of this that you guys are doing!!!
Great minds think alike. I've been brainstorming ways to bring my circle together to become more effective and prepared for what's to come. This channel/group is what I need to use as a template for this. Keep up the good work 👏
We will absolutely be following closely.
Thanks dude. The best is yet to come.
I look forward to seeing more of your content. It’s very inspiring to see that there are so many like minded people that have this world view.
On one hand, my knee jerk thought is this, “We don’t talk about the fight club.”
For civilians like me with no mil/leo hx, I have been grieving that America has cultivated an attitude that regular people don’t have the right to be exceptionally combat-conditioned, especially women, and the world I live in is populated with people who are pathetically unaware and unprepared to defend themselves or their families, much less their neighbors, churches, and communities. In fact, all my life, we have been discouraged from having a mindset of being competent in a fight. Women in particular believe that a man should protect them, and now I look around and most women I know don’t carry any weapons at all and they don’t even think about it. People in average American society are living in a dreamworld and refuse to acknowledge that we are extremely vulnerable and could never prevail in a conflict situation.
Thank you, gentlemen, for opening this conversation up to the general population and for creating a new perspective about what it means to be extraordinary. It is high time that people begin to take personal responsibility for their own welfare and the global welfare of our country.
