Seriously Mike, we really want and need the long form “Becoming Deadly” videos! They are SO unlike anything out there as far as a practical “mega-BASED” education for those of us that don’t have time or money to go out and take thousands of dollars worth of classes to train. And even if we could afford extensive classes, most trainers aren’t covering the real life patrol, RECCE, and field applications that you do, man. Most of the blue collar guys I know have enough cash to get some gear, get some ammo, and practice at the flat range. So for us to be able to have a clear vision, and be on the same page as far as application of these skills goes, your videos are INSANELY helpful. We super appreciate your work, your knowledge base, and the skills that you’re passing on to us as responsible fathers, husbands, and citizens.

[@dukeofbanfe]

Dido, can’t wait for more of this series. The breaks between videos do provide space for gear acquisition and knowledge application though so that’s kinda nice. I do hope there is plenty more on the way though.

The good thing about him that I respect a lot is that he actually listens to the fans. I remember around the time you commented this, that was a big thing in the gun tube comments. Everyone wanted more survival stuff from him, and he’s put out at least three of them recently off the top of my head

[@docwhiskey996]

I know it's really subjective but this is best comment I've ever read.

[@DigitalApex]

I do miss Mike's more long-form educational content. He's still more ballistic and survival oriented than other "guntuber" channels, but it's like slowly watching him turn into Demolition Ranch or Kentucky Ballistics. Not that there's necessarily anything wrong with those two channels, but they're just more "pro gun" and not necessarily pro 2A. They just shoot and blow stuff up. Not much educational stuff about, say, how to clear rooms, use medical, or how to setup/use night vision, etc.

[@DBravo29er]

SAME!

I've noticed the shift when he moved to the ranch. Still watch every Sunday but I do miss the longer videos.

The sign is a subtle joke. The shop is called "Sneed's Feed & Seed", where feed and seed both end in the sound "-eed", thus rhyming with the name of the owner, Sneed. The sign says that the shop was "Formerly Chuck's", implying that the two words beginning with "F" and "S" would have ended with "-uck", rhyming with "Chuck". So, when Chuck owned the shop, it would have been called "Chuck's Fuck and Suck".

[@Spencebot42]

I was working at a very popular gun store during all the riots and covid; it got so busy at one point that we quite literally sold out of AR-15s. I had customers coming in asking for one two or three rifles regardless of brand or quality just so that they could have one before they were gone. Crazy times and I definitely think it implies some potential future struggles.

@@tangilbyong what does that even mean? I don't want to abolish the church. I would absolutely support holding the individuals responsible, as well as the diocese and any individuals that attempt to protect a priest that molests kids. The church has a habit of taking priests with allegations against them and just rotating them around to a different church, often in rural or isolated areas where they will have much less oversight and much more ability to do evil things.

The airsoft story reminds me of playing as a young kid in the woods with all my buddies against our younger brothers. My one friend and I decided we could turn a model rocket into a cluster munition by removing the parachute and filling the nose cone with BB's, and firing it at an angle instead of straight up. Wildly inaccurate and ineffective, but the psychological effect was incredible.

[@BlyatBlaster]

Really love how wholesome this got. As a fellow dad trying to raise my family, protect them, teach them right, and build that relationship with Christ, I really loved being able to see two men I look up to really get into the is. And I know I’m probably gonna get hate for it, but I don’t really care. I’m LDS and we talked scriptures here. One of my guiding verses for taking care of my family has been in the Book of Mormon in Alma 43:47 “and the Lord has said unto them that: ye shall defend your families, even unto bloodshed. Therefore for this cause did they contend, to defend themselves, and their families, and their lands, and their country, and their rights, and their religion.”
