    EDC Gun Belts vs Battle Belts: What You Actually Need | We Da People Podcast EP42

    Your firearm is only the beginning of a dependable carry setup. In this episode of We Da People, Shelton, Colin, and Fred break down why the right EDC gun belt or battle belt can improve comfort, retention, consistency, and your draw—and why a regular department-store belt may be holding your entire setup back. The crew compares rigid concealed carry belts, ratcheting systems, Cobra buckles, inner-and-outer range belts, MOLLE mounting, and different ways to organize a practical loadout. They discuss their real-world experiences with Kore Essentials, Blue Alpha, Safariland retention holsters, magazine pouches, dump pouches, medical kits, leg straps, ride height, and the compromises between competition gear, survival gear, and everyday carry. This is not about copying somebody else’s belt. It is about building mission-specific gear around your body type, environment, training style, firearm, weapon light, optic, and budget. The crew also explains why testing your equipment through movement, weather, extended wear, and realistic training matters more than how tactical it looks online.

    How to Start Hunting: Lessons From Eric Morris

    Hunting is about far more than carrying a rifle into the woods. It requires patience, fieldcraft, sound decision-making, respect for the land, and the ability to remain calm when a situation goes wrong. In this episode of We Da People, experienced hunter, outdoor educator, and television producer Eric Morris joins the crew to discuss hunting for beginners, Black representation in the outdoor industry, survival skills, wild game, youth education, and what it takes to become a capable outdoorsman. Eric shares lessons gathered from roughly four decades of hunting, including experiences in Georgia, Alaska, South Africa, Namibia, and beyond. He explains why hunter education alone does not fully prepare someone for the field, how to recognize animal tracks and feeding areas, and why new hunters need hands-on mentorship. The conversation also covers the three-shot emergency distress signal, what to do when lost in the woods, .223 and 5.56 for deer hunting, 300 Blackout subsonic ammunition, hog hunting, shot placement, wild game flavor, and the importance of selecting the right ammunition for the animal being hunted. In this episode we cover: How to begin hunting with no previous experience The three-shot distress signal for lost hunters Why stopping can save you when you are lost .223 and 5.56 ammunition for deer hunting Hog hunting and beginner-friendly hunting options Wild game versus store-bought meat Black hunters and outdoor representation Self-sufficiency, confidence, and outdoor education

    Why Digital Night Vision Might Be the Smart Buy | EP40

    Digital night vision is changing fast — and GoodNiteGear is helping make that technology more accessible for everyday shooters, prepared families, and people who want real capability without jumping straight into a $10,000–$15,000 analog setup. In this episode of We Da People, the crew breaks down the real-world pros, cons, costs, and use cases behind digital NVGs, analog night vision, thermal, and beginner-friendly night vision setups. Big shoutout to our sponsor GoodNiteGear for sending out multiple units for us to test, compare, and put through real use. We got hands-on with the NVG30, NVG40, NVG50, and NVG90 Pro — and the NVG90 Pro had even the analog guys giving digital night vision its respect. From latency and battery life to onboard recording, light discipline, helmet setups, bump helmets, IR lasers, and training under night vision, this episode gets into what actually matters before you spend serious money. The bigger conversation: do you really need a high-dollar analog setup, or is a digital night vision monocular a smarter starting point for survival, preparedness, camping, night shooting, and family use?

    When Do Black Lives Really Matter? Culture, Media & the Black Community | EP39

    When do Black lives really matter? In this episode of We Da People, the crew gets into a raw conversation about Black Lives Matter, community accountability, culture, family, education, and what it really means to move the culture forward. This is not just a conversation about police brutality, politics, or slogans. The hosts unpack the difference between supporting the idea that Black lives matter and blindly supporting every organization, movement, artist, or public figure just because they are Black. The episode challenges the audience to think deeper about Black identity, Black community violence, media influence, fatherhood, education, exposure, and the responsibility we all have to build something better. The crew also talks about glorifying the struggle, supporting Black businesses with standards, the power of music and media, HBCUs, generational trauma, and why real change has to start with the individual before it reaches the family, community, culture, and system. In this episode we cover: Black Lives Matter as a phrase vs an organization Why accountability matters inside the Black community Community violence, outrage, and selective attention How music, media, and culture shape behavior Why education and exposure can change a life The danger of glorifying struggle and trauma Family, fatherhood, legacy, and responsibility How to push the culture forward with action Key takeaway: Black lives matter every day, not just when the cameras are rolling.

    Discord Questions: New Gun Owners Need to Hear This | EP38

    Buying your first gun sounds simple until you realize the firearm is only the beginning. In this episode of We Da People, the crew breaks down the real cost of gun ownership, what new shooters need to think about, and why training matters more than internet opinions. Shelton, Colin, and Fred get into the things people usually skip when talking about first-time gun ownership: holsters, safes, ammo costs, range time, legal responsibility, and the mindset that comes with carrying a firearm. They also talk about how often new gun owners should train, why “good enough” can become dangerous, and why being responsible with a firearm means more than just knowing how to pull the trigger. The conversation also gets into zeroing red dots and rifle optics, cheap optics vs quality optics, why your optic needs to hold zero, and how ammo choice can change your results. Then the crew debates whether every American should own an AR-15, common calibers vs niche calibers, 300 Blackout, 6.5 Grendel, 6mm ARC, .308, and what each round is really for. In this episode we cover: The real cost of buying your first gun How often new shooters should train Carry condition and one in the chamber Legal responsibility after a self-defense incident Why zeroing your optic matters Cheap optics vs reliable optics AR-15 ownership and home defense

    Everybody talks about having a bug out bag, but most people never ask the real question: can you actually carry it, use it, and survive with it when things go bad?
