Mainly curious about how difficult that was.
Thanks.

Nearly died a month or so ago, Jan 16th...

The fact that he didn't die and that he was able to deploy his
shoot is incredible IMO. If he were clowning around, I might agree

risks are. Our special forces take risks like that, perhaps for a
better purpose but not as much fun.
