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.

Lodestone just held its CQB Two course. It was an extremely rewarding course for both the students and instructors. During the numerous AARs throughout the course, students had questions about videos and social media posts that they have seen. Some are good. Others are just full of bad ideas.
In this episode, Jared talks a little about the course, but spends most of the time addressing CQB training as a whole. There are good instru...

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.
