Winter Whetstone: CQB Skills Training with RBSN Tactical / Daryl Robson

Send us Fan MailPhone Conversation Winter has a way of sanding down hard-won skills, and most indoor walk-ons don’t fix it. So we brought in Daryl Robson—MagFed veteran, airsofter, and two-tour Ukraine combatant—to lay out a practical CQB training plan built for Ontario’s cold months. No fluff, no heroics. Just a clear path to keep angles clean, communication tight, and team flow intact when the outdoor season is asleep.We walk through a four-hour format that actually builds: safety and expectations, baseline rifle work and assessments, movement and solo CQB, then entries and team drills that lead into a force-on-force scenario. Daryl breaks down why limited penetration preserves control, when dynamic entry earns its keep, and how to structure reps so everyone learns, adjusts, and improves. We keep the class small so feedback is specific and the pace stays thoughtful. The gear list is simple and realistic: rifle, chest rig, eye and ear pro, tourniquet, and real-cap mags. Pistols and radios are optional; hand signals and voice keep comms clean.Then we zoom out to where MILSIM is headed. Drones and thermals aren’t a novelty anymore—they’re the meta. Daryl shares how he plans to teach drone tactics, thermal use, and signature management, plus the human factors that separate gadgets from real capability. We also preview trench warfare modules for outdoor fields and explore partnerships for vehicle and helicopter training that push realism while staying safe and purposeful. If you’re tired of losing your edge every winter, this conversation maps a program that preserves fundamentals and scales them into spring.Subscribe for more training-first episodes, share with your squad, and leave a review with the one CQB skill you want to sharpen next. Northern Mission Ballistic Prints  www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089181244866SlingX www.slingx.caLightfighter Milsim Airsoft Team   www.facebook.com/lightfightersmilsimNsceibelab Laser Designswww,facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089285134479Army Issue Surplus Inc.www.armyissue.com 905-271-1665Thank you for listening to the podcast.check us out on Facebook and Instagram for all your upcoming episode information.www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100088900910305Instagram @the_airsoft_experienceWant More Content?check out our awesome friends at THE CANDO EXPERIMENT podcast.these guys are always having a great time listen to there antics on all your podcast streaming platforms.https://linktr.ee/TheCandoExperiment?utm_source=linktree_profile_share&ltsid=5c7718e1-98db-4eaf-bbba-6cf3f8cc19a6
