Everyone is so on edge and polarized. Most people just see a title and knee-jerk react instead of taking the time to watch. Keep up the great work Brian.
Brian... I am your age + another 13 years. So, I do remember the divisiveness caused by the civil rights issues in the 60's. The furor surrounding the upcoming national election seems IMHO to be just as great, or greater. What seems different to me is the current "shoot to kill" attitude which you mentioned. I sometimes think of it as "shoot from the hip". I don't remember that in the 60"s. Now, we have people willing to commit murder over a disputed parking spot, road rage, and other petty issues. We seem to also have more criminals willing to kill for very small amounts of money or plunder. Then, we have some who will murder indiscriminately, driven by only personal rage...a form of a temper tantrum. It is a troubling time for our nation. I'm subscribed, imagine I will stay that way, unless you forget your Southern Roots and Culture.
I don't feel it was a mistake, this is your channel not theirs, besides it weeds out the weak and keeps the strong, you can't cater to everyone, you made the video for a reason, I myself have many haters but I speak the truth, you do you and I'll keep watching and spreading the algorythm.... Have a blessed day Brian.
Something else I would like to add. Everyone has an opinion. I don't live where you are, where things can be different. Sure I may disagree with some things you've said, but I don't disagree with everything you've said. I was a Boyscout when it was ok to be a Boyscout, I like how you produce your videos, and you've showed me a thing or two that I've added to my skill knowledge. Thanks.
There I said it you didn’t have to big guy I’m Canadian and I hate that I can’t defend myself or have a choice there taking away our choice if they don’t want a gun, fine don’t get one but don’t tell me bad guys don’t have guns! Guns are here and we can’t put the dragon back in the bottle.
You are doing fine - I've never seen anything that would cause me to unsubscribe from you. I've had some who unsubscribe because I'm Catholic and my response to that is a quote from Will Rogers "Its not what you know that gets you in trouble, but rather what you don't know yet think is so". All have perceptions and no knowledge and their perceptions aren't based on facts.
Another nice hat. If those who unsubscribed weren't even watching the video first... If they don't get over it... We,already did. Off they can toddle to a safe space where only group think is allowed. And they can stay there.
@@SurvivalOnPurpose you're right, that is probably the case. but, if they just leave without saying anything, that doesn't leave you anywhere to go, so take the good where you find it, i suppose...
I have another take on that. I stopped my Patreon support of Jake over at Canadian Cutting Edge, and I never told him why. I didn’t unsubscribe, and I still watch most of his videos. He’s a super nice guy, and a Christian, and he’s a huge resource in the knife community for budget knives. I love his channel. So what was my beef? Many months ago, out of the blue, he posted a video where he was reading a script and he labeled himself a racist for atrocities against indigenous people of Canada. I know he’s not a racist, and he knows he’s not a racist. But I choose not to support someone who is a racist and I won’t support a non-racist who feels the need to spew politically correct, dishonest nonsense for no reason. It’s irrational, and just pours grist into the mill of the leftists. I didn’t tell him, because I don’t NEED to tell him. He made the decision to post the video, I made the decision to take him at his word.
@@SurvivalOnPurposeI think it depends on how you react to it. You can take it as a disrespectful, somewhat childish door slam. Or you can do what you're doing where you learned that your viewer base aren't fans of the click bait stuff.
My idea of gun law reform is to repeal gun laws. Violent felons should be restricted is the only law needed. I will never unsubscribe over a title without reading the content. Our answer to any gun problems here is called Constitutional Carry. Our homes, schools and churches are protected by law abiding, responsible gun owners. I subscribe to your channel mainly for the knife content and of course, Chuck Norris facts. Keep’em coming and I’ll keep watching.
Keep doing what you feel is right. There will always be haters, grown ups can disagree and not act like spoiled children. Brother just be you. Some people just love to hate for no reason. Be bold brother, speak God's word and ramble on. Love your videos and your genuineness.
My mama used to have a saying "When you assume things, it makes an @$# out of you and me." Sounds like a lot of people were assuming things about the video you're covering in this.
Bryan, I don't think you did anything wrong in that video.. people are lazy and don't want to wait for the outcome . If they unsubscribed it is their loss. They missed out on many great videos and you do not need those ignorant comments anyway. Please continue. I think you are doing fabulous work and just getting better with time
Dear Georgia Friend, I commend you on your openness & transparency. We are all human, & we all make mistakes of various natures. But if we learn from our mistakes, we can move forward with greater clarity of thought. Unfortunately, honorable motives & intentions are often misunderstood or misinterpreted when we have anticipated the very opposite! Brian, you are a good man, & with this video, you exemplified strength of character & personal integrity. May God bless you and your family. Bama Preacher who was smart enough to marry a wonderful girl from Georgia.
Thanks for the video Bryan! You may have lost 100 subscribers but you gained many times more. "Some people will never like you because your spirit irritates their inner demons."
Here is another lesson for all. Men are " headliners ' and women are " fine detailers ". If most of who left are men, your right, they probably didnt make it past the" headline" before making a decision. 🤔. Your O.K.👌here!
There are a lot of angry people in this country, especially since Covid. And yes we are extremely divided. I blame so much of our problems on politicians and the news media. You will never keep all your subscribers happy, too many girly boys out there need to man up and listen to opposing ideas without getting their feelings hurt. I do like the hat !
Ive been a subscriber for many many years now. I cant recall any soecific events where i disagreed with your opinion. If i were to find something, then I know that such is the beauty of our lovely country. We can have our differences and still be friends. Yet, sadly, in todays world everyone appears to be on this "my way or the highway" kick and it doesnt do us any good as a society. We need to get back to being able to have decent conversations with each other and realizing that we can compromise on many things where we all give a little and all win a little. I hope you continue to do well in all your endeavors in life. Thanks for including scripture as well!
If our citizens dont have guns, we cant stop from being invaded by other countries, it has happened in history, also all we have to do is keep guns away from mentally challenged or unstable people who could be harmful to others. Also if someone believes in God they know the ten commandments, which is basically a list of rules showing people how to be a good person. With these values in our children and the people of our country i bet crime and harm to others would almost cease to exist.
Amen Brian I like your videos don't always comment but I watch now days people gets attacked a lot for what they say even though we do have freedom of speech! 😊👍
Enjoyed this video, as I usually do with all your work. & I appreciate your willingness to include your audience as you learn& grow. I also applaud your efforts at the Christian ethic of turning your cheek maybe be cause I find it difficult to do myself much of the time. Bless you & your efforts to make the world a better place.
I have been a subscriber of yours for years, and I love your channel. However, I am not a religious person and one of the reasons I watch is because I don't see a lot of religion on your channel. However, I will NOT be unsubscribing. You do you brother, I'll still be here to watch especially the knife videos which I'm very fond of. Keep up the good work brother, and be who you are. It takes all of us to make the world go round.
ive been around your channel for 8 or 10 years. i found you as i was looking foe a good headlight and watching reviews. i eventually set on a fenix hp30 like i said 8 or 10 years ago. i still have that light and it still works fine. i use it camping and the batteries still hold a charge very well. i use it around the campsite then leave it on its lowest setting all night as a nightlight for the kids. only problem is the wire from the battery pack to the head lamp is coming apart. not the wires just the shrink wrap or whatever that holds the positive and ground together. because that light has done me so well that is the brand i now go with for a light source, my wife is a mail carrier and i got her a fenix headlight also put its a self contained head lamp with 1 larger battery in the light itself. she needs it during winter and especially November and December she can often be out till 9 or 10 pm delivering packages.
My friend thanks for share your video. Keep going with your channel. The most important thing about guns is education and training. Well educated people in how to use the guns safely with response is everything. If one country teach from young age how to use guns and everything involved this country don't have any issues with guns because they know exactly what happens if something goes wrong. Always the same issue the problem is the man kind it self from the beginning not the guns. You can use a stone as a weapon or you can build a house. The key for everything EDUCATION!! And that's why it's very important your channel. Keep going my friend sharing your acknowledge with the future generations. Saludos Amigo
I don't jump and run, heck, I've even had different thoughts on a couple of things,not many at all but I'm still here!!!! The name calling shows a lack of class!
Digging a little deeper on your second item, it’s not so much that people don’t like being fooled, it’s that people don’t EXPECT to be fooled by YOU. You’re always a straight shooter (no pun intended) so when you step out of that box, post a click-bait title, and wait until the middle of a video to do your “reveal” it’s already too late. You hurt their pride. Instead of giving you a knowing nod and a sly smile to say, “Ahhhh. You got me!” they get ticked off and bail. That’s on them. Unlike Wranglerstar, you aren’t a liar. He lost a ton of subscribers because he was disingenuous and deceptive and flat out lied. But he was also famous for click-bait titles and sucking people into 22-minutes videos while they waited for the reveal. So it’s expected on his channel. And you can’t really criticize his choices when he became a millionaire through RU-vid. But that doesn’t mean what he does is right.
Iowa now allows specially trained and licensed school employees to carry on campus,and drivers who keep one in their vehicle or are wearing it on them are allowed to keep it where it is in the vehicle while it is on school property. for example parents picking up or dropping off students do not have to move it or leave it at home whendriving to the school
I like your Channel !. Our nation is divided through negative screwed news reporting ,I believe people do not research before formulating opinions . Gun free zones only aid bad actors !!!. Good FREEMEN armed with the ability too counter act a threat is the best way too protect the innocent . Stand Strong on our rights Peace and all good sir
Bryan, I love your Sharp Saturday videos! I always looked forward to them. That being said, anytime politics come into play there are consequences both good and bad. It's your channel do what you feel you need to do. On the subject of arming teachers, I think its a bad idea. I taught school for years and have been a shooter for over 50 years. Teachers have enough responsibility and liability put on them, let alone carrying weapons. Schools have plenty of funding to spend on "stupid" things, use some of that money to hire professional security. As teacher i would flat out refuse to carry a weapon and i am 2A to the bone. Teachers aren't security guards and would not be granted immunity if something unforseen happened. I cant see this as a good idea. Love your channel and blessings to you!
The phrase "constitutional carry" reflects the fact that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution does not allow restrictions on gun rights, including the right to carry or bear arms. Right?
I think you make a lot of good points! Most of the argument I hear is how other countries do it like Canada and UK 1 they don’t report the shooting as much or at all on this side of pond! 2 ask we the people feel about not having guns to protect us and if you don’t protect that right it’s 10 times as hard to get back. There are tons of handguns and unregistered guns in Canada but it’s the bikers and the others that don’t follow laws that have nothing to loose like a house wife and or child that can’t protect them from the guys with nothing to loose. I’m told here in Canada if I have a problem or I’m in trouble call 911 and wait and watch the people hurt your family and destroy your stuff you work hard for because if you defend yourself the courts will take away the rest of your stuff and put you in jail so the guys that don’t follow laws can go hug wild on your family and stuff and beat the crap out of you in jail because you did what ever man dose from birth is protect ones me love that the divide men afraid to protect there families are hiding behind manners and laws until it’s there family that gets put into grinder
I watched the entire video. You made good points. Many people reacted to the title and not the context of the video. As a retired Pastor I understand. God bless!
I recall this video. I’m still subscribed but I also determined before I started watching that I would hear you out. In the end I agree with your assertions. It might be because we’re the same age
Hey Brian, have you ever looked into the Russian gun laws ? The are actually much better than our. And make a lot of sense . Americans could benefit with similar laws.
I did look into them just so I could respond somewhat intelligently to your comment, even though I have a hard time imagining any "gun laws" I can get behind.. And, as I suspected, they are just another strategy to control the citizenry. The only gun "regulation" I support is "The right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed"
I've been a long time subscriber. Subscribed because I love survival kits and gear. Don't like any political or religious talk. If you make videos with them I just don't watch, but I'm still a subscriber!
I am here for knife reviews and scouting! Camping and bushcraft . Nothing more or less other than that . I certainly don't mind rambling! That's part of who you are😊. Wouldn't be the same without it. Don't know why that would cause somebody to unsubscribe . Be an adult and if you don't like something don't watch it 😊. Your channel Bryan, you post what you want . Ha e a great week.
Your channel say what you want ! Freedom of speech is also our constitutional right. Give us more outdoor and tactical reviews ; knives choppers hatchets. Never seen you do a machete Review . Please get back knive throwing . Use a throwing Axe. You already know Guns are controversial. Switch up and do some hunting bolt action, crossbow reviews. SHARP SATURDAY IS A WINNER! Do what you got to do to preserve the integrity of the channel. Your views will be understood . Leave the political shit out of it! We need more preparedness videos. You haven’t done a bug out bag or get hom bag review in a quite some time. Your call Brian! I will still support the channel
Machetes, you want machetes? I searched my channel on RU-vid and here's what came up for "machete" www.youtube.com/@SurvivalOnPurpose/search?query=machete
Yes Sir! I saw those .but you may have to do some updates. A lot f people want to see updates and knifereviews. Your knife reviews are important to us collectors and users.
