"Make It Out Alive" (M.O.A.)25 Jun 2025

Operation Midnight Hammer, Knife Skills & Chaos on the Road

Broadcasting from 4,200 feet up in the Oregon high desert, Sam Wilson brings you another gripping installment of the Make It Out Alive (MOA) Broadcast. This episode dives deep into both global and local chaos—with a breakdown of the U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear sites (dubbed "Operation Midnight Hammer") and a raw look at escalating violence across American cities, including disturbing attacks on public transit and law enforcement.

Sam also covers vital outdoor survival tactics, including knife use and backcountry navigation, as well as a tragic hiking incident on Maine’s Mount Katahdin. Plus, a classic film spotlight: 1973’s Scorpio, featuring Burt Lancaster in peak form.

As always, it's a mix of news, survival, and no-holds-barred commentary—focused on staying situationally aware, prepared, and making it out alive.

Topics in this episode include:

U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities and their geopolitical fallout
Knife and map use in the wilderness: essential tools for outdoor survival
True crime updates: A naked assault in California, a bus stabbing in NYC, and a wrench attack in Brooklyn
The tragedy of a father-daughter hiking trip gone wrong
Review: Scorpio (1973) and why old-school thrillers still resonate
