I've changed the entry rules slightly. Just leave a comment below that you are in, and I don't want you to explain why. Just subscribe, like the video and comment to enter. Thanks!!
I was blown away by it, especially the more I thought about it. And the gift isn't for me, which just means more ... I certainly don't need another knife, but this one sure is nice! I would really want it in Ti. That blade shape is pretty darn good.
It's my pleasure and thanks for watching. I normally like a harder use bigger knife, but I wanted that Ti Atom forever. That was my first TRM and I love it. I have a video of it in my playlist. I like the blade on this shadow way better! Anyway, thanks again for watching.
It's rare a company would do this, especially since I'm not one of those huge creators and they have done the math and decided it makes financial sense. Thanks for watching and you are entered
Ok the channel just hit 1k! Thank y'all for helping getting me there! And special thanks goes out to TRM! Wow ... What an amazing company. The chance to enter the drawing is over. I am just commenting here to mark the spot where I hit the milestone. What I'll be doing is going through the comment section, writing down all the names on several pieces of paper, and then I will have my daughter randomly pick a name out of pile. I will then privately reach out to the winner and take it from there! Stay tuned and thank y'all. This might take a day or two because I have things to do today and I'll wait until my daughter is home lol. Thanks again and stay tuned!
Keep up the great work. Grateful to Dave for turning me onto another great reviewer. I’m always looking for more reviewers. Everyone’s got their own style and take on knives. Hope you get to 1k quick!
My man Satu is connecting people like crazy ... What a great asset to the knife community! Thanks for watching, subscribing, commenting .... Most of us small guys are certainly not doing this for the money lol. Thanks again!
@@appalachianadvrider No problem. Just wish YT algorithms were as kind to the edc community as yall are with each other! Can’t wait to see what this year holds for yah. thanks again for all the hard work that goes into the material!
@@Kaleidoscopeofknives you are exactly right ... It's a matter of getting distribution more than it's about getting views. I look at my numbers and if the reach increases, my views increase. Funny how that works 😂
Well holy wow bro , what grand giveaway geez. So very nice of you. Congratulations on 1000 subs. It’s a very big deal! Stay with it. Thanks for everything
Thanks for watching! We were wanted to get this gift notification out there ahead of the milestone, and to sort of nudge it closer. I get growth out of my other content as well, so when I post stuff, I get a spurt. As a knife guy, does my other content 1) bother you, 2) doesn't annoy you, or 3) sometimes interests you? I'm doing what I'm doing but ultimately I'm interested in what people think. The numbers say that my other content is way more popular lol. But I'm just so into this knife thing.
1000 Subscribers is awisome. I think i am in one of your firs ( subscribers) Your videos are gettin much better.. I have learned a lot about knives from you and your channel. I have some knives but nothing i would consider high end. I think it is great that you have a give away to mark the milestone. Keep up the good work. I hope to see you on a trail this year. Cheers Chris
Thank you sir for the kind words. I am naturally a very quiet and shy person that forces himself to engage with people. But I feel myself having become more comfortable on camera and talking. But I'm still spending a ton of time editing lol. Is this Chris who's last name starts with W?
Yea. Chris Yetter. I was at your group ride 2-3 years ago in Danville Va. I have some videos to publish. Hard to find the time to do everything while working . Southeastern nomad is my channel name. Only one video at this time. LOL. @@appalachianadvrider
Hey Chris - about the videos getting better ... when I started this channel, I had no idea how to edit. I then quickly realized that I needed to film the video better because you have to start with something good to edit first. I decided that instead of waiting until I feel I am good enough (because that might never happen), I just decided to do my best each time and learn as I go along. I am a finance guy, so I am way out of my comfort zone talking into a camera. But thanks for the kind words
Great to see TRM helping you out😊. Unfortunately I’m out of the giveaway, as I’m in the UK, and TRM won’t even run the risk of shipping here due to our ludicrous government! Either way someone will be getting a fantastic knife, and I’ll be content that I own a Viator🙂
And it is no small gift - I'm really impressed. Sorry about that man, but thanks for watching! You can't have a locking knife in the UK, right? I own a Spyderco UK PK slip joint in S110V and love how it disappears. Thanks for watching and the comment!
I love my ukpk’s, it’s just such a great knife, regardless that it’s non locking. We can own locking knives, we just need a valid reason to carry them. The main issue is getting knives through customs. Anything that is drop shut is being seized and being incorrectly classed as a flick knife. I’m now asking suppliers to tighten up the pivot slightly before shipping.
Ok we had a winner but they lived in Canada. I'm sorry but this contest is only for United States residents. I'm sorry that I neglected to mention that. I will draw another name when my daughter gets home and reach out to the winner. The winner is free to announce that they won in the group or not, but I will be respecting their privacy regardless. Thanks again for watching and subscribing and may y'all have a blessed time.
I do prefer this blade shape over the Atom, but that's all personal preference obviously. I normally prefer a stockier knife, but I was very tempted by the scales on the Atom, so I purchased my first TRM last month. These knives are laser beams!
@@appalachianadvrider Both excellent choices. I was looking at the TRM site a few weeks ago and was trying to justify a good deal they had on a “second “. I waited a day to figure out funds and when I went back, it was sold. Thanks and keep the videos coming.
Absolutely in. I've taken apart many Bugouts, and though I understand them discouraging disassembly, sometimes you just gotta clean things up inside out. To ease your concerns, I'll let you keep the Shadow, and I'll instead take that Atom😊. Congrats on the upcoming 1K Rubicon crossing.
Man I would take a titanium Shadow over the Atom if it was available ... But my Titanium Atom is really sweet. The thing just disappears in the pocket and both the knives are real fine last beams! Thanks for watching Mitch and you are entered into the giveaway
Thanks for subscribing! I was hoping to get to 500 by the end of the year, but got to 750 or something like that, so I'm very satisfied. I just enjoy doing this but it's a lot more fun with the interaction you get with subscribers into the same thing. Thanks for commenting!
I hope you get to a 1000 subs fast you have a cool channel ive discussed with you my personal stuff but i don't know if i want to enter if you get a more compelling story by all means but id love to win it anyway congrats to whom ever wins 👍🏼👍🏼
I very much appreciate your support and time! I spend a lot of time on this so I can share and engage with likeminded people, but you need viewers for that lol. And I am grateful for any growth I experience. At least it's consistent. I'm happy with what's meant to be, but I am so grateful for TRM and my viewers, and you in particular. Thanks again
@@stevegareau123 The one thing I've learned is that you never know what someone else is going through. And I remember when I hit my lowest point ever, I realized just how alone we truly are. Even with having people around you that love and care for you, people can only do so much for us. Plus, even genuine sympathy is quickly followed by other less pressing thoughts by those around us. And it works both ways - we are all quilty of it. I admire your courage and strength and for not just taking it without a fight. Rock on brother. You do have a lot of great knives and a fine appreciation of them. Love that! Thanks again for the support!
No I'm sorry ... I should have mentioned it's only for the US. Please accept my apologies. Thank you for watching? :-) I hope you enjoy the content regardless.
