Episode 72: Randall Gillespie, Creator of The Grunt Proof Survival Games

Bulletproof Veteran Podcast

This week we welcome Randall Gillespie, founder of Grunt Proof and creator of The Grunt Proof Survival Games. Through years of Army Infantry training and experience, Randall honed his "Grunt" skills. He started Grunt Proof as a way to share his knowledge and love for the outdoors. Grunt Proof is more than just a gear channel. Randall strives to bring viewers on amazing adventures, teaching them skills and techniques that they may have never seen, and having a lot of fun in the process. He also shows viewers how to "Grunt-Proof" gear, and holds companies to their marketing claims of "military grade, tactical," and every other buzz word they try to use. Looking to expand his channel, Randall started looking into the SERE (Survival, Escape, Resistance, and Escape) world. He identified a lack of a competition style series involving all aspects of SERE. After nine months of planning, The Grunt Proof Survival Games was born. The Survival Games pit two outdoors experts against each other, in the ultimate game of cat and mouse. Each contestant has to use their knowledge and instincts to either hunt or evade, with the ultimate goal of reaching the extraction point. Randall discusses all of his lessons learned and what he has instore for viewers in Season 2. So dust off that OD Green ruck, low crawl through your living room, and enjoy this weeks episode.
