THE KISSATA HANDBOOK: KISSATA, a homeland defense manual for the modern citizen soldier.
The KISSATA handbook is a 80 page booklet that goes further into the KISS concept, philosophy, and the mechanics of KISS as an organization.
The book is not step by step formal training book, but I explain how we train, what works for us, and more than enough info to point you in the right direction, and get you on the "same page" with us and others. I try to always lay down the philosophy of why when it comes to training, weapons, and gear. I do describe in detail how my people actually run a patrol or recon exercise.
I have layed out what, and how much gear is needed to operate for days at time doing the things that KISSATA does. KISSATA travels light, and is highly mobile, so you won't see equipment lists as extensive as some military or survival manuals. KISSATA does not attempt to mimic formal, organized armed services, so you will see other differences too.
The book covers: Recon, patrolling, sniping, sharpshooting, equipment, communicating in the field, Scouting, and a couple rants about Scout Rifles. It's about attitude and behavior in the field. It's about what KISSATA is, what it is not, and what I hope it becomes.
I try to provide food for thought, and keep you thinking about what to do when you encounter farmer John, someone takes a shot at you, you get lost, hurt or injured, etc. (The "What If" factor)
Purchase of the handbook also includes two separate briefs, one is a "Welcome to KISSATA" brief for new recruits, and a "Beginning guide for Recon and Patrol" which explains the basic mechanics of patrolling, as done by KISSATA civilian rifle teams.

I sell the handbook for $9.00, email me for mailing address. This is very affordable, and just covers my time and expenses. I also include a "Beginner's guide to basic patrol techniques", and a "welcome to Kissata" message, which you may copy and hand out to new or prospective recruits. If you purchase the Death to Terrorists decal/sticker with the book, they are $4.25 each. (We are currently out of the Betsy Ross flag.) You can also buy the book and or the stickers by PAY PAL.
When you purchase by Pay Pal, it will say "first edition", but we are actually on the Fourth Edition.
It is time to unite and standardize to some extent. Get the book. If you already are part of an established organization that shares the same values, you don't have to "become" KISSATA, but I would ask you to still get the handbook, check it out, and standardize with us, your allies, as much as possible, as far as patrol, recon, scouting, communications, etc. If you have your own handbook I'll swap you straight accross. If you really disagree with something, tell me about it, I will take it into consideration, and try to standardize with you.
