Lodestone Training and Consulting
This is the official podcast of Lodestone Training and Consulting. Our instructors have varying backgrounds in US Army Special Forces, SWAT, and competition shooting. LTAC’s instructors have taught hundreds of classes, with thousands of students both inside and outside of the United States of America. Our cadre, in various roles, have taught Law Enforcement, Federal agents, US Military, foreign military and most importantly, good citizens of this country. Few things are more rewarding than teaching a parent how to better protect their family. We share as much knowledge and experience as this format allows.
Episodes
We recently held the Urban Avalanche training event. Jared talks about this unique course where the participants experience societal collapse. They had to use skills taught in Lodestone classes: land nav, urban survival, cache placement and recovery, urban evasion, SUT, and others. He shares some stories and lessons learned by the students. He also talks about some upcoming Lodestone events.
Lodestone just finished up the Six-Day SFAUC Flat Range. Jared and Mike talk about the history and intent of this course. It is a school for gun fighting, not how to shoot balloons faster than the next guy. They also get into the specifics of the course.

It's always a good time when Flynn is on the podcast. He and Jared are on the road and talk about the low-light course they are running, as well as a wide variety of other topics. They also discuss some of the second- and third-order effects on policing and training that have come from Ozz's experience in early 2023. This is one that you won't want to miss.

In this episode, Jared and Micah talk about real training vs. fantasy. There are plenty of good quality training companies out there, of which LTAC is one. But for every good one, there are a dozen that aren't. They share some examples of those who are attempting to "teach" concepts and courses above their understanding.
LTAC has one of the most well-rounded course offerings in the country, yet we are very specific i...

To start off the 9th season of the Lodestone Training and Consulting Podcast, Jared and Kirk talk about the 2025 SHOT Show. We had some important meetings and conversations with a lot of different companies. This was the most productive time we've ever spent there and it will be directly affecting upcoming Lodestone events. On top of all the "business" we conducted, we also had a blast seeing a lot of you out there.
What a strange year 2024 has been. We've had to make more adjustments to the schedule this year than ever before. Regardless, Lodestone held 95 events over the course of 2024 -- everything from the Six-Day SFAUC Flat Range course to 3-hour LTAC Tuesdays. The 95th event was last Saturday's Freedom Day. It was a good, fun event to finish out the year.
In this episode, Jared and Micah go through the year, talk about som...

Jared and Abby talk about the recent Pennsylvania Light Fighter Challenge IV. Each year we try to add new twists to the Challenge and this year was probably the best one so far. Participants were treated to some beautiful weather for their 9-mile ruck and their challenge stations. They talk about the different stations, participants' reactions to this year's Challenge and their excitement for what is coming for next year&...
Recorded Sunday, Jared tries (a second time) to finish this episode. His first attempt just turned into a rant on the complete failure of FEMA and the current administration in providing real aid to those affected by Hurricane Helene. So, instead of ranting about the obvious, he tried to be a little more informative.
During the recent Battle Rifle course, a student asked about the closing song used on the podcast. Jared explai...
