Seven Feet of Truth
Timed draws at different distances as a threat closes in, and what that means for anyone who carries.
"Inside of seven feet, you better have hands and feet skills, because the weapon is not going to protect you."
Adam Seegmiller spent 24 years in the military, ran the fight team in a Tier 1 special operations unit, and worked more than a decade of high-risk close protection, including the Canadian Ambassador in Kabul. In the Tactical Readiness Lab he teaches what kept him alive: new lessons most weeks on fighting, firearms, awareness, home and vehicle security, and mindset.
Written breakdowns, video demos and printable handouts from Adam, on whatever he's working on and whatever members ask about.
Every post since the Lab opened in September 2025, searchable and ready the day you join.
eBooks and manuals Adam writes for the Lab, like "Caught in the Crowd" and "Diffuse: Understanding Violence."
Post your question or your scenario in the community. Adam answers members, and his answers often become the next lesson.
Counts are lessons and posts in the library as of October 2026.
Plus 14 field stories from Adam's deployments and close protection work, and behind-the-scenes posts from SOF dive week, film consulting and the defense trade shows.

"Plan your Primary like it will not fail. Plan your PACE like it might."
Special operations room-entry principles for your own house: fatal funnels, target identification, and what to do once the alarm goes off.
"Home security isn't just prevention. It's what you do in the ten seconds after prevention fails."
A three-to-five-second scan that sorts every exit into primary, secondary, emergency and obstructed, before you step into a bad situation.
"The escape plan has to exist before the fight does, not during it."
How authority, urgency, secrecy, fear and ego get used to manipulate people, and how to spot it when it's aimed at you.

The Lab stands on its own. If you own a course, the Lab is where you keep building on it; if you're new, the library gives you plenty to start with.
Most weeks. Since the Lab opened, Adam has averaged about two posts a week: lessons, video breakdowns, handouts, field stories and answers to members.
