Play in the snow every chance you get, stockpile food, build greenhouses with wood stoves in them, Siberian-winter proof chicken coops, etc.
Basically think of and do everything that is homesteading and staying in shape, but act like you live in Antarctica, that way you are more than prepared.
Try Quebec during winter lol. I have a foot of snow to shovel right now. Its probably gonna take me 2 hours to do the driveways. Nothing special. All men have a snowblower here.
My granddad was seargent of a supply platoon in Normandy. They became separated from their battalion in the French country side. He and his troop had to hold up in a French farm’s barn. They temporarily swiped a chicken so they oiled have eggs to eat.
We buried him with his medals. 21 gun salute.
Fucking metal. ??
Our forefathers killed and bled on foreign soil or we would be all speaking German right now.
When you need 20-50 guys to do something insane and bring insane firepower you call in the SEALS. IE the UBL raid or maybe take an oil rig that's been hijacked or an airplane. SEALS train for unusual situations.
When you need 3,000 men to go take the top of a mountain you call the 10th mtn. When you need to move 100 miles through a blizzard and take a town while the blizzard is still raging so no air power, no artillery, etc... you call the 10th mtn.
When you want small scale unconventional warfare you call the SEALS and they are the best no doubt, but when you need full scale conventional warfare but done under EXTREME conditions(weather, terrain, etc), you call the 10th Mountain. The very nature of the 10th's training means they are hard hard men.
I decided to read up because its been a while and interestingly their focus has been pulled away from mtn operations. Although I suspect at least parts of the div are better trained at that. The real issue I think is this. "Since 2001, the 10th Mountain Division (Light Infantry) has been the most deployed unit in the US military." Experience is a powerful thing.
That's like saying "Ferrari is the best sportscar ever made!" Because those red cars are all hollywood and the world uses as an example, but we know that lamborghinis and McLaren's and other supercars beat the living piss out of your average Ferrari, you've just only heard about the seals nonstop ;)
I've met a couple and they are absolutely batshit crazy animals and would be honoured if I had to fight along side them.
I've also had the pleasure of drinking with some young Royal Marines after they'd finished some training here across the pond... if I was a Brit I would have been proud of them.
u/#michaelconfused
me neither, whats this about?
Think they are insinuating the snowstorm will used as cover for the military to finally act.
Not holding my breath...but who knows.
grand solar minimum. been training for it for my entire life. im sure they have a jump on it too.

We all have to, otherwise the alternative is curl up and die!
Live in minnesota, north Dakota, or god forbid America's winter hat for a while, and you'll train 6 months out of the year;)
Minnesota is for the NORDS

all my techniques are unproven, they are, cold showers and winter sports, and other forms of suffering.
10th mountain division
The irony of being stationed at Fort Drum... flat as a board.
What’s the realization?
According to CNN I’m an inbred and don’t learn gud

Ooooohhhh!!! Kicking the bootlickers' butts!!!
They did?
Hello Fren! My grandfather also served in the 10th mountain division in WWII!
Based AF.
If only we could be one tenth the men they were

Their gift will NOT be in vain.

If you ever get the chance, there is a great 10th Mtn. museum in CO. It covers all the WW2 history. It's small but packed and worth the visit.
i thought SEALS were the most badass? (Im a brit so not too sure how it all works over there)
Seals are the special ops in the Navy.
Green Berets are the special forces in the Army.
He probably meant outside of special forces, the 10th are the most badass.
Rangers, Pathfinders, SF too
We didn't even properly know the 6'th existed when barry and biden "took care of them"
ah i see, thanks
He said “ but fuck”.
Heheheheheheh?

You guys have the SAS.
I've met a couple and they are absolutely batshit crazy animals and would be honoured if I had to fight along side them.

Thank you for your service.
Marine Corps!
0351 rules!
Semper Fi, even to those of the lesser tribes.
Marines actually enjoy inflicting pain and suffering on the enemy where the other branches do it because they are trained to. 0351 - 3/8 Camp Lejeune
I was an 0351. 1/1, Desert Shield/Desert Storm. 83mm of death and destruction: MK153 Mod 0
It's a natural-born inclination.
A calling.
No no. We're not a cult of mayhem and destruction.
Honest.

Most don’t realize that SEALs call Marine Force Recon when they get into a jam...
Mmmmm, jam...
That reminds me, we need better-flavored crayons in our ration packs.

Thank you for your service. Mind if we ask your opinion on the baddest asses?
I prefer the 82nd(served 6 years as a paratrooper) however the 10th Mtn is an elite fighting force, even if they are a bunch of dirty legs...?
... Really... How old is this news?
