Choppin’ It Up with Jake Dwyer of The 1911 Syndicate
The Gun Experiment
A show hosted by two regular guys just like you, who like experimenting with concepts in guns, gear, training and everything in between. We’re going to talk about interesting things, with interesting people. We’ll discuss everyday topics and try to make you laugh, probably at our expense. You better believe we’ll be reviewing gear and sure we’ll talk about guns, but not just guns because that would get boring. We believe the gun is merely a tool and and the person is the true weapon. We want to explore different ways to make this “weapon” better in mind, body and spirit. Experiment...everyday.

Keith and I don’t like to leave our fates in other people's hands; We know we need to be prepared for everything and realized during Covid that long term food storage was an important part of our families preparations.

25 year shelf life
American made
They give back to their community and country
Great pricing

Go check them out and get trained by the same outfit that trains The Gun Experiment.
