Do you have any similarities in your EDC?
I absolutely LOVE your podcast, as well as everything you have done and are doing for our country. Your outlook and way of being are an inspiration. Thank you for your service, as well as everything else, Shawn. Bad azz to hear him vouch for the RATs tourniquet in his EDC, and what an amazing story he has lived and shared. Thank you gentlemen.🇺🇸🙏🏽💪🏽🤘🏽
@@victorchinchillvas RAT's is in my EDC as well as both Glock and Sig 365. Much easier to carry that RATs than a CAT (although I have a bunch of CAT's as well, they don't get carried on my person the way the RAT's does).
Shawn, thanks for the stories you're telling and allowing others to benefit from the insights of those with real world experience. I find your show both entertaining and informative
Love my Glock 43X with 15-round Shield Arms mags. Way smaller and lighter than the 19 with just as many rounds, FAR more concealable and comfortable. 20+ years LEO, SWAT & detective.
@@brianmcdonough9109 Exactly, gotta have some RATs and CATs around, each in their respective spots. I also throw in a couple Snakestaff Systems ETQs, for good measure. They aren't TCCC approved, and have mixed reviews, but they are very compact and seem to lock down pretty dmn well. Stay safe out there.
@@j.d.bonnar4267 Great setup, same outside of the shield arm mags. Apparently PSA micro dagger magazines come starting at 15. Cheaper and (apparently) works with Glock 43X. I'll find out if its true or not :S
“I don’t like trouble, I try to avoid it at all costs” is true wisdom. Here’s a guy that’s seen more armed conflict than most modern men combined and when asked to give his advice, he delivers the goods.
Except he later admitted to threatening the lives of some trouble makers walking in the street where the lanes of traffic were, so idk.
A few Good Men 💜
That's the most basic info out there...
Don't dick ride
@@blbreptiles4126 you’re right, and yet so many people fail to realize it. There’s a lot of false bravado and over confidence out there.
I'd love to see a Q&A range session, where Shawn takes former colleagues out for a Range day where they have a show n tell of their EDC setups their Home Defense Rifles. That would be sick af!
Eye contact is absolutely critical for situational awareness especially at a gas station. Thanks for bringing this up.
lol

I've lived in the Suburbs of Filthydelphia, PA far far from this city of lawlessness and disorder. my whole life.. we just had our FIRST car jacking at our local gas station .not more than 3 mnutes from our home. Three scumbags for Filthyville w/ long criminal histories beat a man up, took his car.. were caught by Warrington PD .. We also had a murder occur here by an ILLEGAL ALIEN a few years ago. drunk he struck a senior citizen who just got off the bus from a trip to Atlantic City that day.. This illegal alien had three prior arrests for DWI and still this jack-off weasel scumbag Judge allowed him to remain.. this scumbag ran her oover around 2230hrs .. drove off.. left a 'FENDER" at the scene, which had a VIN .. he was arrested.. so no place is safe .. the answer: a keen dog w/ an attitude and a gun !
Completely agree! As a single woman that works a night shift in the local hospital of a tourist town I always pay attention to who's around me. I was assaulted when I was younger and have also had my share of stalkers. I promised myself I would never be a victim again. I left the shithole that is Illinois for the free state of Wyoming many years ago and have never been unarmed since the day I left there. It drives me crazy to see my friends walk around with their face in their phone knowing there's no way they have any idea who's around them or watching them. I also hate when a woman says "I don't think I could shoot someone"! I would bet if they had been assaulted in their past or their children were in danger that mindset might change. Maybe anyway lol or maybe not.... people are dumb 😂
I live in Washington state, it is absolutely insane here. I never leave the house anymore without my vest or my gun. Vest is always in passenger seat or on me. I work armed security and I've seen some crazy shit, especially now police can no longer do their jobs basically here
Omg...that pup....the loyalty and love from a female pup... priceless and divine
I was born with one hand, and faced so much adversity growing up. I thought I wasn’t gonna be able to take care of myself as a man and my family. I was denied my childhood dream of going to the navy seals. Watching you give out game and showing us it’s possible through your page continues to inspire and motivate me to be the best version of myself and to stay focused on my purpose. I’m Manifesting that I’ll be at 1Million Subs one day and I wanna say I thank you for being that inspiration Shawn. Much respect! 🙌🏾
Have you heard of the guy who made it into the NFL with 1 hand? Remarkable story. Shaquem Griffin. Definitely worth checking it out. Remarkable!
Sir I Grew up and Went through High School With a Man Born With 1 Arm or as I Know , But That Young Born (Man) Was 5 Times Stronger And Smarter Than Anyone I Have Ever Met in My Lifetime , Hell He Was On The Football Team and Nobody could Catch Him Nor Drop His Butt and Seen Him Beat The Living Hell Out Of Bullies Twice or More His Size With One Fist !!! Maybe it was Because He Didn’t Have Any Sense of Being Handicapped That Made Him That Way , But He Never Looked For Trouble nor Abused anyone else , But Because of His Personal Strength , I Have Kept Him In Mind My Whole Lifetime !!!
Great advice! Single mom here. I have 3 diff types of guns. I have outdoor solar lights and a motion light. And my dog is a blue heeler/australian shepherd. He barks to alert me no matter who pulls in. He would give me enough alarm to grab my gun and get ready.
I always make eye contact in public. My head on a swivel. I live in a smaller town in Michigan of 25,000 and growing fast. Everyone wants out of the city.
Just couple months ago in my town, a family moved here from down state and the 17 yr old son tried kidnapping a little girl out of her back yard. The only thing that saved her was her 13 yr old brother shot him twice with his SLINGSHOT. not shittin ya. Everyone was proud of him.
Just goes to show, ya never know.
Stay safe and protect your kids.
I do to I own a blueheeler and shepherd he is the smartest dog I have ever owned he 12 years old now my and family best friend and we all trust him
Awesome to hear. Good for you!
@markmollett5432 i wish CZcams would let us post pics sometimes. Crowley is 6 and is light tan and dark brown w a 1/4 tail, pointy ears and vibrant green eyes. He's such a dufus around family but as soon as he's on alert we know. When my kids were younger he didn't even like them jumping on the trampoline. He would try to get them down
Do you live in Holland Michigan
The way Roan pushes her head into his thigh 💕 I love seeing these dogs work!
Yes, sig .. p365, and p320 ... spyderco PM2. . Really love your show, but one of them changed my life, I no longer have any depression, PTSD is gone. I'm at peace. Thank you so much I can't thank you enough. I'm so grateful.
Only issue is that SIG makes absolute trash honestly. Their guns just can't be trusted anymore
Great show. Thank you for highlighting EDC as well as your other shows. I enjoy getting their point of view on EDC, etc.
You can tell his dog really loves him by how she’s laying her head on him
So he was the guy at the end of the movie that was all messed up and said I walked into this country im walking out. You always have the coolest, badass guests! Love it
Shawn I'm 62 n all you guys give me a reason to really believe in our country n Thank each an everyone of y'all
He sounds rough hope he’s doing alright, bless him for protecting our country and our people! Thank you Mark and Shawn for your service to our country and us as individuals!
Really enjoy these EDC videos thanks Sean ,,huge fan of your channel !!!
Thank you Shawn. Sending love from Boise, Idaho. Keep up the great work brother.
We had a non trained non Malinois/Shepherd dog who was amazing. My wife would walk him and for almost no reason he's growl and go on alert to some Homeless type who looked no scarier than other homeless types. Then a woman would walk by with a baby in a carriage and he's be all wags and kisses. HE JUST KNEW the bad from the good.
“The things we did”……carry’s so much weight. God bless you both! Situational awareness is the biggest thing I teach people. Know your space, own your space.
I agree with the subject matter from 12:20 to 18:25 minutes. It just doesn’t get discussed enough and eye contact and acknowledgment is a key to not becoming at victim. Thanks for discussing that Shawn
Imagine the stories they can’t share. Hard men who have done hard stuff. Much respect 👏👏👏💯💯💯🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
When I was young, my grandpa told me “the only reason I came back from Nam was because the US Army gifted me the most powerful weapon in the world; wise noncommissioned officers.” As I’ve journeyed through my own military career as well as post military, I often think about that statement. The most dangerous thing in the world is a man with experience, and the humility to rely on the good judgement of other experienced men. Shawn, you have a lot of experienced men on this show and I am eternally grateful for the free wisdom. Thankyou Sir.
"A man with experience is not at the mercy of a man with an argument." Good NCOs make all the difference.
My Pitbull was matched to me. We both have PTSD from Trama. She has More scars then i do. She gets in my face when i have a panic attack thing. Licks my face. If i cry she will come to me. My Dog is my Life. My Dog can tell someone is at the door before they knock. Perfect Warning and Protection.
I have a female pit and she is so intune with me its unreal ( and a 2 yr old hand feeds her she is so gentle) i love her more than life.
That is so Awesome @@hdrider2071 .Mine can take Jerky out of my mouth... They are So Gentle.
Great job Shawn...you have an amazing Show ...keep up the Outstanding work 👏
This was a Wicked Awesome one GOD BLESS YOU and your family! CHEERS FROM BOSTON
What that gentleman went through. . .!!! I pray God graces him with a long, long life and much happiness [And same for ALL of our veterans actually. . .God bless you all].
My English Mastiff is named Rone after Ty. Never served, never meet him but the way JBD portrayed him really had an impact.
Wow I just finished watching the “13 Hours”! 🙌🏻💪🏻
Love the 365 two tone. Get a loader as it is a tight fit. Unbelievable designs like you said. Design what you want first then build everything else around it. Favorite is the P320 X5 Legion. What is you fav SIg you own?
I also carry the p365 it’s so small and easy to conceal but I carry my HK VP9 i between the seats of my truck because it’s full sized and a little more accurate. Both amazing guns!
Dog is God spelled backwards! They save lives. She is beautiful. My Chow/Golden was my co-pilot. She got me up off the ground with a spine injury and kept me from hypothermia on the coast when stranded. Priceless.
This was such a great add on to the podcast. I haven’t ever watched it on youtube but listen to everyone of them on Spotify. God bless Mr. Geist and Shawn.
What a good dog!!! She seems so loving.
I highly recommend Bill Rapiers AMTAC Knives. Especially the NorthmanX knife. Additionally, I would love to see a series showing EDC put to use. For example, what do you have on you or near you 24-7 with guests.
Love the eye contact advice, also Sean you are constantly improving on your interviewing skills. Keep up the great work. Go Sig!
What a fantastic conversations you have Shawn with all these experienced operators … thanks for a great show.
Really enjoying the channel sir. Love the no BS approach 👍
Eye contact. Something I used to never do - my father for sure failed me as far as guiding me and helping me build confidence. He would’ve rather made me feel inferior and beneath him. But hey, ditched that fucker and I have a ton of reasons to be confident. More young men need to hear that about making eye contact with people.
Awesome guy. Didn’t know he was a police officer prior too! I’m digging the short clips Shawn!
Man I picked up the Sig P365 Specter Comp just because I liked the way it looked and I already had an EDC so it was just a luxury purchase but I've carried it everyday since they're phenomenal shooting guns and after around 2k rounds I've never had a malfunction... Great video as always keepem coming brother!!!
Best hope it doesn't just go off by itself lol where you'll be singing a different tune.... And IN a different tune without your balls lol
On my wish list❤
Great content and advice about Situational Awareness. Thanks, gentlemen.
Eye contact is an excellent point that I hadn't taken into serious consideration. Eye contact is something I've always found difficult but I'm certainly going start making a conscious effort to do more
Shawns "yeah" response when Sig 365 was mentioned was priceless..have feeling its his choice..excellent guest and interview..Saw the full episode with Oz, that was also priceless.
17+1 in a compact carry pistol can't be beat. Just shot one last week, going to get 2, one for me and one for the wife.
It's because Shawn is paid off by Sig to shill their products onto guests
That last piece about Gosafe is ingenious! Need to get it in the S&W and Springfield line.
Another great guest Shawn. Can't wait to hear him tell his story about Bengazi from his perspective.
I have Custom Built A Few Different Sigs From The 320 To The 365, 365 XL, Now The Macro. I will say this Shawn Guys will Big hands like I have I buy the Wilson Combat Grip Module for the 365 Models because it’s Thick enough to fill my big hands, I also use a Hoag Slip on Sleeve to give me the particular Grip I like.
As a retired Federal law enforcement K9 Instructor/Handler, I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. “Trust your dog” is something we always preached to the new teams during training. Thank you for bringing me back so many great memories. God bless all working dogs and their handlers !
All of us are gonna be calling Sig Sauer..."Hello, may i speak with Jason? Shawn Ryan sent me..." 😂🤣
People underestimate the power in the bonds they can form with a dog great stuff man!!!!
Man I lost my EDC dog "Mujah" may he rest in peace!
Rescue a new one ! Save each other !!!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Todays EDC. A Shadow systems CR920P elite w/ Holosun 507k and TLR7 sub light. For a blade a Protech Terzuola ATCF tuxedo model.
This was a fantastic interview/discussion! Such great content…
Absolutely love your show Shawn you are doing what needs to be done and shared truth and real history that matters thank you Mark is an awesome guest and great human being thank you sir both of you for all you do. I still need to get myself a Belgian Mal just can’t find one or good one here in Washington my wife got diagnosed with cancer two days before Mother’s Day so the money I was going to use to get a new pup I spent on her she needs it and I need her hopefully I will get a Belgian Mal sooner than later anyway thank you again 👊🏻🇺🇸
I Really appreciate what you do and how you walk it!!!
My Malinois goes everywhere with me. She's also my EDC. I rescued mine from some idiot Sheriff K9 handler in Casper WY back in 2019. She tracks, retrieves ducks I shoot, watches my chickens, I do bite work with her. My new EDC is G19 with 509T and Radian afterburner/ramjet comp
My man left contracting because he questioned what they were doing, morally. Were they really rescuing people that deserved it? He realized they could be helping criminals. And he wasnt willing to risk imprisonment, torture or death for people that were sideways.
I have a sig p226 Legion. My man has a sig 365 for his summer carry, easy to hide under a T shirt. He loves it. Its the only fire striker pistol we have. I have always thought glocks were so basic and ugly lol but ive been told they very reliable. We may have to add one to the collection! Thanks for sharing! ❤
Service dog, awesome! Good inventory on the rest of the EDC, but these days it's time to spend some cycles focusing on a good 'electronic countermeasures EDC' IMHO; FOB's, phone hacking, credit cards, ... It's not always what you can see, but what you can't (see) and usually the treat has happened electronically before you realize it.
My EDC is either a Sig p365 with a 12 round mag or my Smith and Wesson 442 with my Buck knife or my clinch pick.
I got a Shadow Systems CR920 for my EDC. Every time I watch the podcasts, Shawn keeps making me rethink my purchase.
Just watch more warrior poet and you’ll feel like you made the right choice again and come back :) both great systems you really can’t go wrong.
Yes, carry the sig spectre comp as well! Love the videos Shawn. Great information, situational awareness. Always talk to my wife and kids about it. Mark nailed it.
That was the xmacro comp not a spectre comp
Honest review, a family member of mine in the uk was sf and I know the only thing that matters is your brothers by your side, as family we see how the horrors of war affect the people we love
My wife, and I, were attacked at in IHOP in Fredericksburg, Virginia, this summer. It was zero dark 30, and a twenty something drunk homeless dude that had been allowed by the waitresses to empty the unfinished drinks at the table next to our booth, turned without notice and began to approach our booth. I anticipated the attack and was on my feet when he was 5 feet away, with utensils 🍴 in my hand. He had pulled a dagger from a sleeve hidden under his left forearm. I knew he was hiding something because it was hot outside and he was wearing a long sleeve shirt. He was shocked that I stepped forward and didn’t cower. He backed off. Sheriff’s deputies were on the scene in 5 minutes. He was arrested and a few week ago ago convicted of assault and battery. Stay away from International House of Pandemonium’s. Especially after 10 pm
Thank you for everything you do!
Does it get any better! Been watching since before you started the podcast. Love the interview & the guest’s. Happy Memorial Day gentlemen.
Great show again, thanks Shawn .
❤Great show, and the guests are always the best love the channel🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
super job again god bless both of you guys
Hey homie. HFB has a faceook group where they trade and sell if you are looking for a Damascus. Im sure hed return your call, he takes custom orders. Maybe take a keepsake from your time down range and have him make the handle with it inside.
I love that go safe lock mechanism!! Definitley be looking for that for my family..👍👍👍🤙
I give you the upmost respect for what you is doing keep up the good work. Do they have people in charge that never been in a war .

Recap by Tammy AI
Regarding situational awareness: Watched a YT video recently, and the CZcamsr was talking about going to the gas station at 2 AM to get some gummy worms. Said he walked up to the door and happened to glance in...and saw a guy with a chainsaw, which was running, standing in the store. He said he turned around, got back into the car, and left. Was funny how he said he didn't know what a guy was doing in the gas station with a chainsaw, but he didn't need to be involved in it.
To be California compliant when transporting a firearm the gun needs to be completely empty in a locked fully enclosed case. The trunk counts but glove box does not. Hopefully people are smart enough to ignore all unjust laws and carry on body in condition 1.

I’ve been wanting some of the Half Face stuff. One of the fixed blade and one of the hatchet/tomahawks. Things are badass but pricey. I’m a poor so hard for me to spend that much on a knife or tomahawk but damn I want em!! Lol I’ve been able to justify a nice AR, nice accessories, NV setup with IR accessories, nice sidearm with optic, light and nice IWB holster so I need to just start justifying the price on blades😂
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Good show, thank you both.
This is exactly what I wanted to see it keep it up!
Shawn gets some goooood MIC funding for sure :) probably all the ads are facilitated by that relationship
Love what you guys are doing👍🏼
Is that the P365x or the XL Spectre? I'm not that familiar with the 365 series but I've not seen a 365XL with a comp.
Cool video, those guys at Benghazi were and are amazing heroes.
Thanks for sharing
Defunding the police is like cutting off your nose to spite your face. If anything police should be trained more so mistakes aren’t made. I also believe the police department needs to be accountable for rogue officers who cause harm. They shouldn’t be policing themselves. Just my opinion.
For new shooters: If you dry fire, make sure it's empty!!!! 😅 check 5 times if you have to. With all the distractions in life, it's not a terrible habit.
I live in So Cal and it's becoming a shit show. Just got my CCW through Riverside County where we have a sheriff that actually supports the 2nd.
Sig 365 X Macro, Benchmade Lock Blade Knife, a Three Row Paracord Bracelet in case of Emergency, in Michigan Daggers are Illegal because they Suck Here, loll so I carry a Dagger Hanging around my Neckline under my Shirt. I also have 500 Rounds of 9mm in my Truck, a Medical Bag for just about anything I might need. 10-17 Round Mags, a Speed Loader. I carry that much Ammo for the Amount of Shooting that I do. I am a Member a Few Different Rifle and Gun Clubs Here in Michigan, I have a VeryNice Range at Our Home and Property out Back. But Winter Months are too darn Cold for me these Days.
I played a game once where I wouldn't look away first during eye contact. I learned a lot.
I met Mark a couple months ago and his beautiful dog! She is a sweetheart.
A good dog is priceless. My girl has alerted me to many things I would have missed.
Great discussion and the Go Safe is definitely going places.
Shawn, the platform you offer to all these operators is great, fantastic service you give to them and us, thanks.
Also make a locking mag for a HK vp9👍 love your show Shawn it's the best on CZcams!! Keep up the great work!😎👍🔱
An unimpressed neutral look, eye contact, chest up, a nod, and keep it moving has carried me through the sketchiest places wearing the wrong colors i swear by that lmao truth!
The GO SAFE should be a must with Law Enforcement especially with their Carbines. Just a couple of weeks ago Nashville Metro just had patrol cars broken into and their Carbines were stolen
The eye contact thing is big. If you're not making eye contact, you're demonstrating that you're basically an NPC.
I work the gun vault at Bass Pro San Antonio, I’ll make people aware of these.
making eye contact, saying hi, morning or whatever, is not only helping to be aware of trouble, but also makes us a better world, we are on our phones way too much that we forgot how to be with other human beings.
Eye contact so underrated I think we forget sometimes we are animalistic the basics are the fundamentals
I love that Blanton's bourbon in the background lol
Thank you for all you did and still do your a true American, 13 hours book and movie allows me to still believe in America.
Glad I don't need a key to turn it to fire in my state! Glad that there are options for less fortunate fellows in other states too!
Love the Sig 365. I have three versions
Hey Shawn, I'm curious how you feel about CZ handguns. I have one and love it but am nowhere near as experienced as you are. Thanks,
If SRS ever drops a IWB holster I would buy one.
Beautiful Dog young man. Bless you both.
