Saw you on “Live from Thunder Ranch” …not really sure how I saw it while it was live as I don’t watch Yeager, so I am not a member or subscriber to his crap. Bet that was cool, getting to meet Clint Smith! Sorry, not much of a fan of Yeager…despite the apology made for him…that is just me.
Bryan,
Long time sub love your vids. Thanks so much for the hard work.
Briefly I have watched many of your fire starting vids. Here are some take a ways. Magnesium burns super hot and is fairly easy to light. But burns itself out almost too quickly (unless you use a big pile). Duct tape burns hot and long but is very hard to ignite. What would you think of a plastic match safe full of magnesium shavings with a couple of wraps of duct tape around it. Tare off a strip of the tape place it sticky side up. Then dump a small pile of magnesium on it for your fire starter. If you wanted to carry an emergency ferro rod one of those made to replace the tooth pick in a Victorinox knife would fit in the match safe or sleeved under the tape as well. This would seem to be fairly compact and have sufficient material start several fires. Also thought about sealing a line of magnesium shavings inside an ink pen size stick made of duct tape. Cut off a piece, silt the tape to expose the magnesium to use.
Cheers,
Mike
Been following your videos for a while now and must congratulate on your way of reviewing different items and gear. Not everyone has the bucks to buy super expensive gear. Congrats on your GUNSITE adventure, that has been a goal of mine too. I am a Tactical Response Alumnus and concur with you on the quality of their techniques. I joined the Army in1969 and after I got back from the war got me a Randall # 1 which I used for the next 20 years in the Army retiring as a Ranger Platoon Sgt, you made a great purchase there. The year before I retired I sent it back to Randall to be refurbished and now it looks brand new in my gun safe. Keep up the great work you are doing in YOUTUBE, great stuff, God Bless, Rangers Lead The Way- Juan

I have a great sterno canned heat grill that can be made for around a buck out of drain kitchen sink strainer/drain plug. I’ve used it for 5 years! Call me at: 1 203 812 0288 – Tom
Bryan,
I’ve been watching your videos for years and I know at one time your son was in BSA. Well my son is crossing over from cub scouts to BSA this spring. I was just curious if you have any recommendations on gear that I should get him for the camp outs and backpacking trips. Hope all is going well.
Brian,
I am a subscriber and I just want to thank you for recommending the Hawg Holsters.
I received mine today that I ordered for my G30. It works perfectly! And it is easier to carry the G30 since it is a lot lighter than my other holster which is kydex completely covered with water buffalo leather. What a difference!
