nutnfancy is Awesome 

Now he has 400,000+ subs and your past 200,000 and then some. You guys still rock. Both awesome

I love the TNP channel. Have been a fan for years.

You and Nutnfancy are both great guys and I love your videos. People make harsh criticism because they are jealous and small minded. God bless you both and keep up the good work. You make great videos Sootch. God bless. Be well.

Hi jakk (sorry I'm in Nutn's account now and too lazy to change). You are ALWAYS welcome at TNP. The way you spoke your points, that is only a plus, in my opinion. You're well spoken, and have a different viewpoint, and that is something that I myself am interested in. I watched your exchange with Bugget and Nutn with much interest... -- Veri

Can't agree more, nutnfancy kicks ass!

Sincere thanks for this honest and real video which addresses these ridiculous attacks. Well said, lucid, and right on target. These attacks are wasted energy and divisive in a small community that NEEDS unity. Instead, they should concentrate on their own message and get over the jealousies. A good video product that is real and quality builds its own audience. Negativity does not inspire & will never reach high levels of popularity. Thanks tons, 5 stars, and much appreciated my friend.

personaily i thank you and nutnfancy both for the vidos you post and the why is that i have learned quite a bit form you both . and i thank you

Sootch and Nutn. You're the best. Iraqveteran and military arms are great too!

You're a good man SOOTCH!!!

You are both great men! God bless you and carry on :)

Nut'n and Hickock45 and you, Sooth00 are all very good at what you do. I like Bill Morgan for instructional videos. But Nut'n is a go to guy for top notch reviews. He's obviously intelligent and surrounds himself with top notch people. And, just for the hell of it I think Tactical Doodle should be knighted. Yes his name should be HRH the Tactical Doodle. No, all jokes aside but Nut'n is a top notch guy and why people want to knock him is beyond me. I'm glad you good guys are out there you do allot of research I'd like to do.

Sootch... for what it is worth I am subscribed to both you and Nutn as you two are great resources for information on things that peak my interest. I appreciate all the time that you, Nutn, the TNP crew, Verilioness, and any of the folks I am missing who help you guys get your hands on the gear you review and getting the films out to us, the general public. I don't do videos or whatever, but I truly enjoy the productions coming from Nutn and 00!

No success without haters.

You're completely right, I like both of your channels and have learned a lot from yall. as a gun community we need to come together as a whole and fight for one another instead of each other. happy holidays to everyone. here's to many more years of happiness to everyone and to many more rounds down range.

Nut'n still gets wise guys. Not just on his channel or on other YT channels but on forums too. You are a class act Sootch and I've been enjoying your videos for a long time. It is great that we can have your approach and outlook, Hickok45, Nut'ns, and many other knowledgeable people on YT. Thanks for all you do and have done. God Bless & Long Live the Republic.

Dang, look how far both of you have come. He's over half a million subscribers. You are jetting along yourself! I found your channel just a few days ago and it's great!

I just found this channel and I subbed right away! I also enjoy TNP-it's fun and there are lots of great informative reviews. More and more people need to stand up for what is right. As an American, I feel it's a blessing to have channels like these available to us all. Thank you for the time you give up to make these vids, and I'll see you later.

Sootch you are class act! You and Nutnfancy have the best channels on RU-vid... what a coincidence! Wish you both the best and pay no attention to the envy and ignorance of others!

So does Nutn. He usually leaves comments on parody videos and enjoys them, but we're talking about haters in this case. People who want to increase their YT traffic by hating, or are just plain disturbed. -- Veri (Nutn's sister)

Great video, I'm a subscriber to yours and nunfancys. I have learned an incredible amount from both of you guys. Keep the videos coming, THANKS.

Hey sootch00! Thanks for the vids! I actually discovered your channel by way of Nutnfancy's TNP! Another subscriber for ya. Keep the great work.

4 years ago i had a problem with a glock 18 factory mag, i sent an email to nutn and was very surprised when he replied within days. Not only did he reply but he showed genuine interest and concern. His suggestions solved the problem and once again he showed a rare compassion towards my problem and was very much happy to help. It was nice to know someone, an internet stranger mind you, actually cared, ya know? He's doing a service and its pretty petty that people would do this.

I really like his philosophy videos. He's a very sensible prepper. I like the terms he invents such as ROL, WROL, 'First kind of cool' and 'Second kind of cool' I wish they were part of the gun community as a whole so I have an easier time using them with others because they are efficient terms to use.

Awesome video brother! I appreciate you taking the time to come to nutnfancy's defense! Rock on!

Spoken with class! As Always!!! Excellent videos and channel.

I've been a long time subscriber of nutnfancy and I watch his videos all the time... Your channel page is new to me but I'm greatly enjoying your videos as well... Thanks for what you do! keep up the awesome work! and as always long live the republic!!

Agreed 100% Those of us who want to work together in this world, and to not harm one another, are those who will make a true difference. They seem like great guys and I was stoked to get a reply from his son on a comment I left on his Beretta ARX Review. You seem honest and straight forward as well so keep up the good work sootch and have a good one!

You and Nutnfancy are the best!! I like your vids because they are a little shorter and still get the important points. Keep up the good work to both of you!

nearly 7 years after this video was posted. i love tnp its awesome.

You are correct. TNP is not only a great gun review but his camping gear and pack reviews have been great also . I have found that his opinions have been right on the money. I have bought gear based on his reviews and have been happy with all of it. Thank you all for your time and Videos.

This was the very first video I found of SOOTCH00 back seven years ago. Thank you for sticking with it for all those years. I rarely watch Nutnfancy, you're my go to RU-vidr.

Love the video - Nutnfancy is great, as are you! Keep up the great work, and I hope to have videos of such high quality as yours one day!

Older video but I'm glad I saw it. You're a class act Sootch. Amen to the comment on "We're all on the same side". I'm new to the firearms community, and I'm astounded by how amazing, helpful, and welcoming people in the community have been. Unfortunately, it's also been quite astounding how quickly some in the community turn on others. Again, "Same side of the 2nd amendment fight." Thanks for posting this vid. It's one of my new favs. Class act brother. One more lesson we can learn from you.

I've watched a few of your videos but never bothered to subscribe until watched this video on Nutn. Way to stand up for a good honest man.

Nutnfancy performs a great service, he's one of the few guys that takes gear into the field and tests it. How many videos do his detractors have of climbing into freezing cold, snowy conditions to show how to build fires or how to use certain blades for chopping wood? The amount of time, effort, and money he puts into his videos is overwhelming. I am certainly thankful he is willing to sacrifice so much of his life in order to produce such quality content.

i know this is one of your older vids....but i just sub to u about 3 days a go...reson is cause u as well know waht u r syaing ..and this is such a good..and i like your vids as well....and r jsut as good as nut'n...better in some ways...great vid and nut'n is all right in my books as well as u....keep the vids coming

I have loved TNP for over 3 yrs and find his work enjoyable and informative...like WRANGLESTAR, Stoney Ridge Farmer, and Sootch00.

Great video Sootch, thanks for posting this. I’ve been a TNP’er for years and have learnt SO much from Nutnfancy not only about gear but about life. His ‘philosophy’ videos are awesome. People’s presentation style is never going to please everyone, but it pisses me off seeing someone attacked like that...all you review guys are spending your own time and money doing these videos and don’t charge people a cent to watch them - you owe people NOTHING. People gotta stop being like little children with that ‘entitled’ attitude... And yes he is a genuine former Lt. Col USAF pilot...people can check out his ‘Air Force stories’ video that shows his military career. Cheers!..

Both you and Nutnfancy are great and you both ROCK. Thanks to both of you.

Sootch, great stuff you put out. Q: Does Dolly's ice cream stay open year round ? Stopped in Sunday on the way back from Pisgah. Great ice cream.

Sir, I don't know you or your channel. But I appreciate your effort keep the unity and give props where they are due. Your integrity has earned you another subscriber. I'm a devout TNP'er, and have had many discussions with Nutnfancy, and can tell you he is what he says. But as you pointed out, it makes little difference one way or the other. He does a superb job do what he does. Thanks for your confidence. 5 starz and another subscriber.

Right on Scootch! I'm surprised I haven't seen this vid yet, but you're right on the money with this.

Sootch--Well said! I enjoy watching your very informative, historical videos rewarding pistols. Also watch Nuts for entertainment and Don'😝t believe his videos are too long. As a company commander, I was used to listen to well educated Lt Colonels cover all bases in a lengthy fashion. Hickok45 is entertaining and a heck of a shot!! MAC & Gunsandgear are also watched. There are 2 Utube individuals that I don't watch. Well done on Nuts and I'll continue to watch you both!

Thank you for saying all of this. I would love to cross your path someday. You are straight up, My Brother.

Hey ur awesome and it's like guys like you and nutnfancy that makes me enjoy what I do. Keep it going and you have my support.

"I don't understand why people say these things" I do, its called JEALOUSY. Nutnfancy is a tremendous asset to the knife/gun community and Ive learned a lot from him and TNP. Some people who don't receive the same attention feel the need to ATTEMPT to drag him down to make themselves feel better. Its embarrassing. Also, it takes ALOT of work and time to both put together a solid review, test and EDIT video. Whether table top or in the field. hats off to nutnfancy and sootch00. you guys rock

Nutn is awesome! Good job Sootch for putting this vid out ! Needed to be said!

I totally agree with you . It is too bad people are so jealous too try and tear him down. I also appreciate how you try to help people out with your video's as well.

5*s brother. i wish i had your composure and video skills with gun reviews you are awesome.keep up the good work..

Well said, sootch. Nutnfancy is the number one reason I watch youtube. I actually just watched Nutnfancy's all star gear check video and I think it'd be awesome to meet him in person. If there ever comes a dark day when I need rescuing, I'd want people like you and Nutnfancy to have my back.

I respect both of you and subscribe to both channels.

Right on Sootch! I too dig nutnfancy's vids and yours too! When I first started watching this video my first thought was, "Huh? People are talkin' smack about nutnfancy?!?!" Second thought was what you also mentioned in your vid here.... C'MON GANG! WE ALL MUST STICK TOGETHER!!! Anyway, rock on Sootch and thx for the vids!

I have been in Law Enforcement for 10 years,(hence the name), and was a correctional officer for two years before that. I can tell you, based on viewing Nutnfancy videos, I believe he is in Law Enforcement. (Don't ask me where, I have no idea.) Not only that but he really does make some of the best video's on RU-vid. Thankyou for saying this Sootch00, you got some great vids too.

yeap i know who you are talking about. Glad someone posted a vid in support of Nutn. He seems to be a good man with a good family. And he's a good source for knowledge of great gear a lot of people find interesting and useful. i am subscribing to your message and your channel. thank dude.

You hit on the head . Thanks for taking the time to do this video .

Excellent thoughts and comments, subscribed!

Thank you sootch00 for your supportive comment for nutn. I just got done leaving a positive feedback on his channel and noticed your your vid. I follow your vids too and want to add keep up the great work.

Nice vid Sootch. I had some mild criticism of Nutnfancy commenting on a gun he had never shot, but I didn't yet realize the plethora of other videos he has posted that are really helpful. (I didn't say anything awful, simply that I was annoyed that he hadn't even shot the gun... but nevertheless, the other reviews I've come across have been very helpful, as are yours.) God bless and keep up the fine work. :-)

Great job Sootch. Nutnfancy is an AWSOME guy and an AWSOME reviewer. I have been watching his videos from the begining when he had 100 subscibers and back then he has replied to me everytime and he has slowly slowed down. So it makes sense. Trust me guys, Nutnfancy puts alot of work into replying.

Absolutely agree! Sticking together is priority #1

Sooch, Glad you and the Fam are getting some Vac. time. Always look forward to your vids and thanks for adding to the "voice of civility" here on RU-vid.

It needed to be said and you just said it! Good Job!

I like Nutn for his style and I like others for their style, I feel I learn from them all! I spend hours everyday watching just chanells because I am unemployed and have the time, I love being able to do this and want to thank all of you who have these chanells.

sootch I knew you were cool but that was probably the most stand-up responsible thing I have personally seen in a very long time.

thats awesome i go there a lot =), your place looks similar to the condos we own there. is it by any chance called avista?

yeah but don't sell yourself short either dude, I just discovered your channel and I think it's great! Just another civilian, never been military, love guns but pretty much self-taught. I really like your (and nutn's) approach to explaining things in a NON-condescending manner! THANKS

I am a fan of TNP and just wanted to hear what you had to say. Well, Sir, I could not agree with you more. I can tell already that you are an honest and nice guy. You just got another subscriber. Sincerely, ~Kevin~

another great video! with "meat and potato" information. I will check out that site also. Also your a great inspiration for people acting responsibly. You reinforce that if some idiot calls me out on youtube in a childish, nonsenses sort of way just ignore them they are not worth my time that I could spend in a positive way!! awesome video my friend Happy Holidays!

i agree sootch. i probably wouldnt have made half the purchases i made without nutnfancy's recommendations!

Thumbs up to fancy and to you brother! Keep up the good work.

I completely agree, Nutnfancy is awesome. His knife reviews helped me decide which knife I would like to have in my kit which is the Buck 119 Special. And with all them middleschool remarks from many a people, I do not think they have grown-up/ matured yet lol

Dead on. You could not have said it any better!!! I luv the guy!!!

i agree with you. The purpose of making videos is to share technical and tactical experience with other operators out there. I too am a nutnfancy subscriber. I learning well from you guys, i check my system with yours. thanks.

This comment is years late I know. I grew up in the shadow of Ellsworth AFB and our hayfield abutted the South Dakota National Guard Main Base. Many of my peers were dependents. My Dad, all my Uncles, and many of my Cousins were Military(THANKS GUYS) and 3 of those Cousins went through the USAF academy in Colorado. My Godfather was a full bird USAF. My mentor and next door neighbor was a USAF Lt. Col. with 640 combat missions through three wars who's last assignment was as Commander of an AFW piloting the same tankers as Nutnfancy's last detail. I had a majorly broken arm from an accident that did not heal perfectly and was considered unfit for service despite 3 attempts to enlist. I know military as I was as close to the USAF as you can get without actually having personally served. Nutnfancy is ALL of the professional Airman any person could ever be and none of the overblown bravado a few are. He just oozes "The Right Stuff" in his every action. He absolutely has my utmost respect, on and off the RU-vid. Nutnfancy, and sootch00 here, are Aiming High. You haters are wallowing in the piss ditch.

Don, I just subscribed to your channel. This piece on Nutnfancy is right on. You note that we (law abiding gun owners) need to stick together, once again - right on. Nutnfancy produces excellent, informative, fun to watch videos.

i sub to tnp. he does great reviews and is thorough. his tactical shotgun reviews were absolutely awesome. sootch you got an excellent channel also bro.

Almost 40,000 subscribers in 2009, 450,000 now.

I couldn't agree more sooch. I think you're pretty awesome yourself. I myself would love to make informational videos for the gun community so I'm sitting on the sidelines learning and testing product and trying to come up with a good way to present it taking methods i like from people i enjoy like you, nuttin, iraqvet,hickok,destiny,MAC,and the list goes on. Hopefully I can get some vids together and people will appreciate my efforts as I do many of you.

its nice to see someone making a video that is complimenting Nutnfancy. It seems that most of the other videos that are "about" him tend to just be some people that have some problem with him. I know the dude isn't perfect, but I appreciate the vast majority of what he does.

They're there. No problem, I just thought you had a larger gripe than it appears that you do. I know to me, it was interesting to see how you presented your side of the argument, and no hard feelings.

Amen Sootch, Amen, great vid!

Great vid sootch! I aggree with everything you said. I love both nutnfancy's vids and yours. 5*

1800 subscribers lol. How does it feel now?

nice video, thank you. what is the music at the end?

0:50 -- "just a great stand-up guy".. Great stand-up guys do not hide behind their sisters skirt...

Sootch, you totally have earned much respect from me, I totally agree.

Thanks for your video. Nutn is awesome, I don't agree with everything he says but I have a ton of respect for him, he's a nice guy trying to help people out especially with his survival and life philosophy stuff. I've learned a lot from him and he's an big inspiration to me for his sense of humour and adventure, spending his own time to educate others and the way he enjoys life. Great guy.

Well said Sootch! I steer clear from these guys I only want to invest my spare time into video channels such as yours, Nutnfancy`s and a few others that I can learn something from, are well produced, have interesting topics and also have an entertainment value as well.

There's allready enough people out there thinking that gunpeople are a bunch of agressive idiots; show the world that we're not, by being nice & polite, both in your RU-vid-comments as in real life. Well done, sootch, just subscribed. Greetings from Belgium!

Sootch, you are a class act. The people who are trying their best to "out" Nutn may not have thought about the long term effect of doing that, but its been a sickening source of worry for me and my family. You just never know. Nutn's family is the most important thing in the world to him, and keeping them safe, foremost. A few sad, jealous boys and their petty, bickering RU-vid drama could create a situation that none of us is prepared to shoulder.Thanks for instinctively knowing that.

Verilioness: Agreed, no hard feelings. Thanks for taking the time to talk to me, and to understand that I'm not out to bash anyone. I've continued to visit Nutn's page simply b/c like I've said, he puts out a good product whether we have a disagreement or not. Happy Holidays, and Cheers.

TNP Rocks and so does sootch00. I have taken your advise sootch and I feel great because of it. I am making my vids and watching and learning from quality people like yourself. I am ignoring the trouble makers and I think that hurts them more than responding to them,that is what these vermin want. I thank you again sootch for being the standup guy you are.Rock on my friend. 5/5

Ive been watching Nutn forever now. Seen every video this man is pure and a straight shooter. He knows what he is doing he is a man of honor and has value. I found Sootch thru Nutn and he is just as Good as a guy and knows what he is doin too. Good people folks!

I concur with your opinions, you and Nutnfancy provide a great service!

I am agree with you. nutnfunsy has done way to much to help many people understand a lot of things on how to handle guns and tactics. He has helpped me a lot. good job nutnfuncy and thank you scootch00 for this viedo. I enjoy your videos and am one of your subscrbers.

+1 nutnfancy is awesome. he says all the time "this is just a data point" or like i've even heard him say something like "well what is my opinion worth to some people? not much." he does excellent videos. keep up the good work sootch00

Whats is your job ?

I agree I'm a fan of you Sootch, nutnfancy project, he is what he is.

Hey ***** was this filmed at tides/folly beach? Looks familiar

Many times when he compares 2 different pistols in different calibers he is talking about weight or size as it incorporates into a carry rig with other equipment. He is bringing up the questions like is a .45 with more weight really better than say a 9mm along with all the other stuff you would be carrying. His reviews take many factors into consideration. Also, unlike many of us myself included, he actually does physical run and gun training with his rigs. He is also a darn good shot. JMHO
