Have a question for Dale Comstock? Get it answered!

Hey Hotlists Members!

We have Dale Comstock (retired U.S. Army Special Forces Operator) flying into our studio this week to shoot some instructional material for a very exciting new product that we’ve kept under the wraps during the research and development phase. I really can’t talk about it yet, but I think you all will be very interested in it once it is launched. And of course, you guys will be the first to hear about it.

Anyways, I wanted to give you guys a chance to ask Dale some questions while we have him at our studio for a few days. I hope we’ll have some downtime where we can do a nice interview and let him answer a few questions from the hotlist.

World's Fastest Drawing Knife.

You wanna try out the fastest drawing knife on the planet? Good. Because here's your chance to get it for FREE.

It even comes with a video showing you exactly how to draw this folder from your pocket (one-handed) so that it snaps open and is ready for action in the blink of an eye. (Your buddies are going to be sooo freaked out when they see this).

>> Your Lightning Fast “Striker” Here. <<

If you do have a question for Dale please leave it in the comments section below. We will be picking a few of our favorites and have them answered. We’ll post the answers in a future post. Looking forward to your responses.

Take Care!

P.S. Thank you for all the responses from the previous awareness/suicide post. I was a bit hesitant to share the story since this topic can be very sensitive. However, based on the overwhelmingly positive response we’ll be doing more of these real-life stories in the future. We truly appreciate our Hotlist and are very proud that we rarely have negative or trashy comments like some other sites. You guys are top-notch and we hope you feel the same about us.

  1. First of all Dale, thanks for your service.

    Question #1 For my Home protection I prefer a Mossberg 12ga pump and a Wilson CQB 45. I know everybody is different but, what do you prefer for you home defense and why?

    Question #2 Do you prefer a full size carry weapon or a subcompact or carry both?

    Question #3 What type of knife do you carry for self protection i.e. a folding lock knife or a straight blade knife and at what length?

  2. My question is this; Soon I will be getting my concealed carry permit and I’m having a little trouble deciding which caliber weapon would be most suitable for me? I have shown to be rather proficient with a regular .45 caliber (good grouping,center of target,even a few rounds going nearly thru same holes). However,the 9 mill. also felt comfortable with similar results in target practice.
    I’m 53 yrs old,5’9″ tall and average 175 lbs and aside from chronic back issues (and several surgeries in that respect) I’m in fairly decent shape and thanks to working out regained much of my upper body strength and even most of my leg strength. So,bottom line,which type of hand gun or caliber there of would you suggest for a person in my position for everyday wear/carry?

  8. I keep a monkey fist in my truck, but it’s awkward to swing it at someone in the window. My husband (SOF Operator) said I need a set of brass knuckles Velcro’d to the underside of the steering wheel, but it’s not legal in Texas. I’ve been looking for a Paracord product with metal wrapped in cord on the top and braided cord to hold on to. A constable told me this was legal to hang under the wheel or dash, I can slip my left hand into it and backslap someone harassing me in the drivers window. I have a lot of strength in both arms, especially a back handed left. Do you know of anyone making such a Paracord weapon? My husband has watched a few videos with me and told me to listen to what you say and he’ll help me figure out things I don’t understand. He’s a shooter with a bounty on his head, and I’m a kidnapping target because of it, so I carry a go bag everywhere, including a gun. But sometimes I need less than lethal. I also need a very good quality military style leather man style tool. Another company offered to, I’m curious why this one hasn’t. I’d like to compare what you think is needed in a go bag in an urban kidnapping situation vs a typical bug out bag.

  9. What would be (If any) a good way to survive in a big city when the SHTF? I have food and water, ammo, etc. but not really anywhere to bug out.

    Thanks, Treetop out!

  10. Hello Dale,

    I do have a couple of questions. What is the practical no nonsense solution for home defense and a shtf solution. In my mind we have planned to move to Alaska is there any sort of tactical disadvantage to this? I currently own a 9mm HK and a StEYR 308 tactical. Is there any other weapon I need truthfully? There is allot of hype, consumerism, money making campaigns from disaster preparedness and shtf. What would you recommend that WILL work and will be of benefit to me and my family in terms of supply and preparedness?
    Should I invest more into training then supplies

    Thank you for you’re input

  11. I’m concerned that major civil unrest is coming. I sincerely hope I’m wrong, however, I’m focusing on the possibility that, I’m correct. That being said, can you prioritize what a family needs (Food? Weapons? Self-defense training? Hunting/Camping supplies? ) to be prepared for these scenarios:
    Where public services are at least severely hindered, if not completely ineffective.
    Or if there’s simply a noticeable uptick in personal (physical) attacks…..

  12. One other question, I have, apologies. I’ve got weapons that are throwaways from my husband’s team, and I have weapons that have papers that are purchased by me before I met him. What’s the best way to get the papered guns transferred to unpapered? Right now I sold them to other people without bills of sale and they’ll sell them back when I want them. Is there a better way?

  14. We all know that in certain instances be it numbers or superior firepower escape and evasion is a must use plan, What is the best escape evasion maneuver in urban terrain where numbers are not on your side. and how do you decide if it is time to engage versus escape?

  15. How can I protect my vehicles from an EMP. Are their specific parts of the vehicle that I can isolate from the pulse ie.: distributor, alternator, battery etc. & how do I go about it?

    Reply

  17. How effective would you rate use of a surplus Army HMMWV as a practical “bug out” vehicle? Having not had down-range combat experience in one of these vehicles, would appreciate your comments on what to like and/or not to like about it. I must say that riding around Atlanta is this baby is a real blast!! Thank you.

  19. Hi Dale, Thank you so much for your service! I am a recent widow (5 months) of a 23 year Navy Senior Chief Gunners Mate, Retired. I live outside of town in the Arizona desert, and I need to know what the best way to protect my home and property is. I have horses and other animals, and you can’t hide them! I am a good shot, and can handle a gun, but I am also physically disabled so can’t go far on foot. How do I stay safe?

  21. Dale –

    With all the emphasis these days on preparation, checklists, bug out bags, etc. it seems the ‘stuff’ has taken over from the ‘what-to-do’.

    Those who are able have probably already thought about their bug-out (or bug-in) location. Those of us who are likely to be sheltering in-place could use some help in the preparation of defensive measures, an early warning system, and plans for discouraging and intercepting trespassers.

    Any suggestions you can provide, based on your experience with outer perimeter preparation and perimeter defenses, would be greatly appreciated.

    In addition, any help you can provide that would help me convince family members that survival in a climate with plenty of water and warm weather is easier than trying to stay warm and fed in a cold climate, would be very helpful (lol).

    Thanks

  22. In an operational sense , what do you feel are the limitations of an SBR/SUPPRESSED 300 BLACKOUT? I recently completed the build, and have noticed that in the attempt to maintain noise suppression, that range has deminished drasticlly. ALthough my entire unit has been designed and built at home, pretty much from automotive parts, and has created a rather heavy SBR , and the supressor is an integrated unit the barrel, was just curios to see how you felt about the round and what your take on operational limitations were?

  23. Dale, I too am a former Army SFO (Special Forces Operator). I understand the importance of survival tactics, self defense, home protection and early warning systems. I too am experience in the use of various weapons like guns, knives and various ammo. I put to use the knowledge I have learned from my military experiences to my home life. My question for you is to explain to the others why it is so important for the general population to know such things. Why is our system of government is failing its citizens to the point that its citizens must learn such skills. Finally, if we can not trust the American system to protect its citizens then who do we trust and why.

  25. I am a 71 year old female, disabled, my husband is 69, disabled, walks on crutches and has a brace on one leg; son is 51, disabled with very bad heart, pacemaker.
    I feel we will be sitting ducks when SHTF and I need some practical info on inexpensive tactics for home protection and early warning system and survival tactics that the three of us can employ. Appreciate any ideas you can give us.

  26. I am 69 years old and my wife and I frequently go out at night to dinner. We prefer downtown restaurants primarily for the atmosphere. The only problem is that there are always a variety of “thugs” , thieves, and others in the areas. As my wife and I are older, we are easy targets. I am retired military and in fair shape, but age does take its toll in strength and agility, regardless of how little – still a loss. I carry a knife (TRS 325S), and am fairly proficient with it. I try to project confidence and awareness of surroundings but I am concerned about physical attacks. What do you think is the best type of defense for a person in my position? I don’t want to carry a gun, so I m somewhat limited. Thanks.

  27. What is the best way to protect your family and your home in a manufactured mobile home that is not in a mobile home park, but is separated from other dwellings by a considerable distance?

  28. How can we motivate America’s out-of-shape, over-40 non-criminals to understand the amount of attack-first mentality, physical strength, and years of street-fighting experience they’ll face in a mugging, home invasion, road-rage incident, or the casual disagreement that becomes physical?
    We all think we’re prepared because we watch good guys win on TV and in adventure movies. In 99% if real-life physical confrontations, crims win and good guys go home bloody and beaten–or don’t go home at all.

  29. Dale, THANK YOU for your service! It seems that the main reason for Home Protection and Survival Tactics concerns are going to come from either financial system collapse or from EMP damage to our power grid (by either ISIS or a Russian-led group) and the resulting havoc that either will cause. What is your take on which it will most likely come from and what are the survival technique differences of those two factors?

  30. I am thinking about purchasing an AR7 rifle to add to my bug-out gear. With its compact design I think it would be a better choice for easy travel if packing through the outback. I know it is not that good for big game (unless you are an expert shot to hit the vital areas (heart, Lung or head). What is your thought on the matter.

  31. I normally carry a small knife on my person….is there anything I can do in an altercation to defuse it before I have to pull my knife out ??

  32. Hey guys,
    if the S HTF occurs we have a choice in Alaska going into the bush and doing a survival thing or we can head to Canada and essentially do the same thing only probably be able to be closer to towns and/or loose knit communities. Being from Fairbanks I can go one of 360° searches along the coastline or towards the Yukon River and its drainage. Do you have any comments?

  34. I just recently applied for a Concealed Weapons permit here in Sequim, Washington. Regrettably, I was unable to get it due to a felony charge back in Jan. 2004 for a controlled substance.

    Here’s my question, what weapons could I legally purchase for the following two scenarios: (1) Home evasion and (2) hunting small game?

  36. For a street fight, a good escape should shown for the more likely positions you might be put in by a street fighter. A. Escape full mount from a bigger heavier opponent. Bridging and rolling may not work? Or will it ?
    B. Escape side control from a bigger heavier opponent.
    Theory…if these techniques work against someone bigger and heavier they ought to also work against someone your own size…..where the reverse may not be the case. ?? True ??
    Also…these should be based on principles of leverage…and NOT things like eye gouges, tearing the ear off,
    biting, hair pulling, etc.

  37. Hi Dale,
    I am also a former ARVN Special Force, we used to operate closely with 5th Special Force Group in Central High Land, South Vietnam. Well, you knew all the home works, especially, when we in Hostile situation like now. I always have the secure perimeter around my house with some Booby traps, and of course the guns. I had
    some SKS rifles which use same size ammunition of Chicom AK-47. Some time we use to shot 3 volleys of Dummy to honor our comrade during the Memorial day;
    right now, I am kind running low on Dummy ammo. If you have known any source that I find them. Please, let me know. To be precisely about the size, it is 7.62, length is 2 inches 1/16. I would really appreciate. Again, thank you so much for your service.

  40. I am a 77 y.o. widow living alone. I have severe RA ,peripheral neuropathy among other things that drastically affect my mobility. I cannot hit, run, climb or get down to hide under something.
    My apartment has 2 doors to outside. Both are in the living room. I have two bedrooms with windows, but are not such that I am able to make any exit out of either. My wonderful Marine husband was my protector much of my adult life. He’s with the Lord now, and my physical problems have left me trying to do for myself the things he always did.
    Now to my positives! I have just purchased a Walther CCP 9mm. I will become proficient with my firearm. it is useless to me for self defense if I have not done my part. I am a member of NRA and USCCA. I read every thing I can get my hands on. I am going to go through the required classes for CCW. I am going to the range as frequently as my fixed income will allow prior to the class so that I will have a good grasp for everything when I take the class. My range time will continue after I obtain the CCW permit.
    As I rent, I am not allowed to put locks on the two rooms that possibly could be used as safe rooms. One room is the large walk in closet in my bedroom that is at the back of the apartment. The other possibility is the laundry room off of my kitchen at the front of the apartment.
    Neither of those doors have any kind of lock My bedroom door does have a door knob lock. I also have 2 under 4 lb. senior dogs and 1 cat, that are always at my side. I have to try to protect them as best I can. They are all I have, and I am all they have.
    I have written all of this to give some sort of scenario to you.
    My question is: What would be the best ways that I could protect myself should the worst happen. I am unable to drive, and am unable to “bug-out” . I live in a SC beach area,so, I stay in my apartment with the girls come what may. I just need someone with your expertise give
    a plan to survive should outsiders try to come in. Thank you so much for the service you have given and continue to give to us and our country.
    I thank you for any and all assistance you can give me. Take care, God bless,be safe.

  43. This might be a little bit ridiculous but I am looking for a survival knife that would be sturdy and heavy enough to replace an axe or the hatchet for chopping larger branches. Is there anything like that?

  46. I am a retired Building Code Official and Code enforcement Officer with seven additional State Inspector certifications for code Inspections and compliance. In a situation where there is a directive to evacuate your home;

    “Can the Military Police force you to leave your home”? In normal circumstances they can not.
    Given: Home is a single home on top of a hill thirty feet above flood level plain elevation,
    There are no trees or heavy underbrush, flammable materials or hazards on or near the property.
    As a long term prepared and survivalist with military training the home is secure.
    Current medical issues consisting of a knee replacement and heart issues a forced march is not an option.
