1400 rounds of ammo? Horry cheet. That's like $600 to replace today. Training is invaluable, but faced with personal economic and supply chain realities it would be a stretch for a lot of people. I would very much like to train with Langdon though.
It will cost me $155 to load that ammo with components sitting upstairs. The other considerations are a hotel & food for 3 days and the cost of the training. All in it will cost me easily a $1100. Still might be worth it.
Can't look at the cost of what you have, have to look at the cost to replace those components if they can even be had.
The other concern I'd have is the health safety of opting to stay in a hotel right now. We know that some luminol spray and a blacklight will turn even the cleanest hotel room into a rave club, so how much do you trust the minimum wage illegal that does housekeeping to kill all the COVID that might be lingering. If there was camping available local to this I'd opt for that as an actually cleaner option.
COVID isn’t living that long and hanging out on most surfaces.
Specify that you want a room that wasn’t used last night (most places have that in today’s world) and bring a can of Lysol with you. Walk in, spray all hard surfaces well and do not wipe up. Just let it sit there. Light spray on the pillow cases.
Begin your bedbug inspection with a flashlight.
Once you’re satisfied the room is acceptable, go outside and bring in your bag. Put your bag in one of the several garbage bags you pack, and place that on a hard surface. Don’t move it again while you’re there. Live out of your bag. In another garbage bag, put all used clothes.
Keep the garbage bags sealed when you aren’t using them.
Aside from asking for the unused room, this is the way I have handled hotels for over a decade, ever since bedbugs were the only thing we had to worry about.
Oh, and .... take the training. Whatever else you planned for those 1,400 rounds is likely less valuable.
Stay in Summerville, make the commute. Hit up PSA while you’re in town.
Looks like a great course. I’m thinking about it. Where is the best option for lodging?
I just spent over 1000 on a class, over 1000 on a rifle, and about another 1000 on a hotel and food for me and the mrs - so i could go build my own garand at CMP.It will cost me $155 to load that ammo with components sitting upstairs.

More info pleaseAnother option is like 15-20 hours of private instruction with a world champion like Todd Jarrett or Chris Tilley.
