Tactical Cameraman | Finding Passion & Purpose with Chad Barber

Chad Barber has been a camera operator and editor in the Firearms and Overlanding industries for the past five years with views on his works reaching over a hundred million. But how did he find that passion and direct it into a purpose? We dive deep into his past to track how conflict and circumstance transformed him from a rebellious and aimless teenager into a purposeful professional with a prepared mindset.

Everybody dies eventually! He just gets to film it all! 🤣

I had a very similar experience growing up, except i was able to keep the GF and get far away from family and not go back. This dude, just like myself, wanted to be just left alone. Was never a bad kid and still to this day never done drugs. My psycotic mother would constantly accuse me and my friends of doing drugs, calling and harassing my friends parents accusing us of doing drugs/drinking in their house when we were just down in the basement playing halo. She even called my now, mother inlaw trying to say i was physically abusive and was a danger to her daughter. I was constantly treated like i was a bad kid even though i did fine academically and excelled in sports to the point of landing a college scolarship. I 100% could see his experience could have happened to me, plucked out of society and thrown into "prisons" with actual bad kids. Glad this dude made it out of hell to land on his feet. Idk how he forgives his family. I dont.

The most humble people are the best artists! This couldn't be any truer about Chad!

[@activefamily7865]

Proof that God is still in the redemptive business! Thank you guys for sharing and opening up to your real lives. I absolutely love hearing back stories on your guests. This is powerful!

[@chrisott9129]

This definitely didn’t go the way I thought it would. Great episode!

[@quentinwhite1]

CHAD. CHAD. CHAD. CHAD! ✊🏼 Excited to watch this one! I like how everyone that comments for the next hour and a half hasn't watched the whole video! 🤣

[@KloPoon]

My life is currently in that turmoil spot, but this gives me hope that I could make it out some day

[@redct3d]

We’re all going to make it.

[@Nowhiscar]

You all should be more careful. That Fully semi-automatic ghost gun menacingly leaning up on that tacticool 4 Runner could’ve knocked itself over and shot you all with its 30 caliber, 30 round clip, blowing your lungs completely out of your bodies! Scary stuff guys.

[@alexjr4468]

Holy shit, I’ve really gotten into this channel - but the main guy (one of the two main guys) constantly kills serious moments with these awkward cringe jokes. And then just randomly totally misdirects from what is happening (making fun of the interviewees music choice while he’s describing working through the program) - completely killing the vibe. And it’s not even funny. Seriously dude…….

[@dothmynugs]

Yeah what was that? Was he awkwardly man crushing? Like wtf lol

[@alexjr4468]

@@dothmynugs I’m glad to know I wasn’t the only one that couldn’t get past that. In other videos he’s fine - and I’m not pretending I’d be perfect in front of the camera either - it was just really off-putting

[@Hood_2_Coast]

You guys did so good getting Chad to break out of his shell. I loved the brother fight re-enactment scene.

[@travisoneal3]

Click bait title “I’M DONE WITH CHAD” one of my favorite pods y’all have done

[@mynameisjeff4511]

I still listen to tbs and brand new too! I really like this guest and these videos. Very cool to see people not into guns and learn how they did get into them.

[@ateniense_]

So none of you three work for trex any more?

[@tonydijock151]

Yea visualize it fam, in college wrestling they had psych dr come in and teach mental preparation and fear, study was done with three groups 1 did no training to shoot hoops 2 was told to think about training and making shots the 3rd actually trained # 2 was not far behind 3

[@Capper_Bra]

Did you guys leave T-rex arms?

[@sirbalanced5486]

eerily similar upbringing

[@byeyote8544]

Best episode ever😂 “why are the windows foggy!?” “YOU DEFILED MY BED”

[@EricPoe-vb1rz]

I was scrolling by and saw Chad on this channel. It was like going down memory lane when he talked about running away because I was the friend he was talking about. I havnt heard or seen him in years. Love your guys channel if you see him again let him know Eric said hello.

[@jamesgargoyle847]

Sorry, guys, but this is like one of the boring videos I think I've watch Lately.

[@budget-88]

Don't evër forget the USS Liberty and the men who diëd on that day

[@JakeReillyEDM]

It's insane how talented Chad is. A man who wears many hats and wears them all very well.

[@SONofLIBERTY]
