I want to thank you for getting me started making things for myself and for friends. Watching your videos gave me so much confidence to just jump in and do it. Good luck with your new job and take some time to enjoy life!!
Your tutorials have no doubt gave me the understanding and confidence to craft my own gear. Congratulations on your new job and thank you for sharing your expertise.
Your vedios were a god send for a 19yo kid like me. Really got me into making my own gear and gave me the self belief that I surely needed. When you stopped making vedios out of the blue it was a shock but still i kept working on to improve my skills. Thank you for everything and more over thx for this update. I remember texting you asking about the same. Meanwhile live your life to the fullest. But do give us a tutorial every once in a blue moon when you have the time to do so. Would love to see a plate carrier vedio next based on the Warrior Assault DCS whenever you have the time 😅 Wishing you best for all your future endeavours 🙏
The best decision "for you" is the right decision. The tutorials are a tremendous help but they are a lot of work and time as you stated. It's always good to see a person with talent and passion realize a goal that makes the most of both. Congratulations on the job and I'll gladly utilize resource and information from your new direction.
Spezielle Wünsche wo die Reise mit dem Kanal weiter hingehen soll habe ich nicht, aber ich finde es gut, dass du die nötigen Veränderungen in deinem Leben geschaffen hast, um sicherzustellen, dass es dir in der Zukunft besser geht. Mein Kalender war auch immer voll, bis dann irgendwann die durchschnittliche Werkswoche 2020/21 6,5 Tage hatte - bis es eben nicht mehr funktioniert hat. Mittlerweile geht es wieder deutlich besser. In diesem Zuge habe ich auch die alte Industrienähmaschine meines Opas nach über 30 Jahren aus dem Winterschlaf geholt. Zugegebenermaßen habe ich noch nichts mit ihr genäht und sie braucht noch etwas Zuneigung bis wir dahin kommen, aber alleine die Tatsache, dass sie mittlerweile in meiner Wohnung steht ist unteranderem deine Leistung. Danke dafür. Ich freue mich drauf wenn das Tacticaltrim Forum wieder online kommt.
Danke für deine lieben Worte! Und es ehrt mich sehr, dass ich der Anlass war, dass die alte Nähmaschine deines Großvaters wieder den Weg aus dem Keller gefunden hat. Von daher lass mich gern wissen, wenn du sie in Betrieb nimmst oder schreib mich gern an, wenn du Hilfe oder Ideen benötigst💪😎 Gruß, Steffen
🎉🎉🎉 Ich wünschr Dir alles alles nur erdenklich Gute für deinen neuen Job! 🎉🎉🎉 Das ist ja der Wahnsinn!!! 🥳🥳💥💥💥 der Oberhammer! Du hast mich zu meiner Singer Heavy Duty 4423 gebracht ❤ das habe ich alles Dir zu verdanken! ❤🎉 Es ist sowas von supergut sich seine Gear selber zu modifizieren für z.B. die Jagd bei Nacht und Mond 😊 Ich hoffe noch auf viele weitere tolle Videos und viel mehr inspiration! 🎉 Vielen vielen Dank dafür! ❤🎉
I just found your channel three days ago and immediately subscribed. If you still will be making useful learning videos it doesn't bother me that it is on a 'commercial' company site. I retired from my job this time last year. I designed medium tech industrial electronics for 37 years, 12 years for the first company and 25 years at the last one. After 10 years at the first company (not totally happy at that time) I started up my own business, working full time and part time on my own business. Then a job for senior electronic designer opened up the at the second company. I go the job and ended shut down my own business. That job became my last job. I was able to do the kind of work that I loved without having to deal with the business side of having my own company. And while there was stress and bad times, I never regretted my decision. I think you made the right decision and I am happy for you.
Real happy for you! Do whatever feels right for you as a person. Your videos are amazing and were the reason why I bought an industrial sewing machine and took sewing as a hobby. I learned all the basics of sewing from solely watching your videos. By now, I think that I have recreated every project which you have posted on your channel. Would really love to see anything that you would make in the future, as this channel has played an important role in my life in the past year. Sending much love for your from Bulgaria
Dude that is awesome being able to turn your hobby into a paying job! Your videos inspired me to buy my first sewing machine and start my first projects. Whatever direction your channel goes I know it will be amazing!
Well, i'm here not too long, but i would like to see more videos from you. I sewed some pouches from your tutorials and i was very satisfied with the result. And it is all because of your videos. THANK YOU.
The numbers speak for themselves. You have succeeded in creating an community here and inspiring people, including me, to be creative and make our own gear. And because we are thankful for that, we also care for your wellbeing. All the comments here are from people who are pleased to hear from you, and really happy that you have found a balance that preserves your wellbeing. I would love to see more tutorials as they increase my own skills greatly, but only if you can manage it and you still enjoy it. Whatever you do in the future, thank you so much for the time you already dedicated to making such a helpful channel and making so many people happy already!
I learned how to effectively use a zipper in my projects by your videos, so thank you for all. I hope you find some extra time for tutorial videos in future. Greetings from Turkey.
Thanks for the update. I'd love to see you using the gear you make in the future along with the design ideas and maybe a tutorial or two to keep us coming back. You got a lot of subscribers, and that's valuable to hang onto.
Just want to add my thanks. Your videos are always so well done. Best wishes on the new job and hopefully we will see other interesting things come from you.
Ich schaue gerne die tutorials an. Habe selber mal angefangen meine Ausrüstung zu nähen . Aber bis alle Materialien zusammen sind und vernäht ist kauf ichs lieber😅. Mach weiter so mit deine Kanal und mach das was Spaß macht 👍🏻
You really helped me out getting started in making my own gear and putting my LSz1 to work. You and sailrite have the most complete instructions and plans for RU-vid sewing. And sailrite doesn't have the type of projects and gear that you have and I need. Well done 👍🏼
Simply salute your efforts for letting people understand simple sewing projects not only as a hobby but i believe people can earn from small businesses. Thank you
It was your videos that got me started sewing. Not just tactical gear, but in general. Your videos were so well thought out and well made that I learned so many techniques and was able to, eventually make different kinds of pouches and then a full-blown plate carrier and belts. I can't thank you enough for sharing your knowledge and passion. You have to make the best decision for yourself, always.
Thank your for your very kind words, that made my day! It is always glad to read how people got into sewing through watching my Videos😎 thank you again and keep up your Projects! Cheers
Hi man. Sorry to see you go. Just discovered your channel. I had a creative type business for 10 years and i loved it. Even though it was very hard at times i loved what i was doing. In the end i gave it up because it made "practical sense" to get a job to better provide for my wife and 2 kids. Its been just over 2 years now since this "logical" decision and every day i regret my decision and on top of that there is this growing resentment twards my wife as she was the one that pushed me into stopping. Im now on a full blown mission to get out of this job situation and get back to doing what i love to do - to create!! Maybe its different for me maybe you are happy with your choice. Ill say switch off all media and go dark by yourself atleast a few hours a week and really think things through and make sure you are following the right path. "Remember tomorrow....." All the best man you are the only person that know what is good for you. Good luck.
Hey, thank you for your words and Feedback and right now I don't regret my choive, because I love what I do and my Job is my Hobby and my Hobby is my Job. Good luck for you to find what makes you happy and provides a good work life balance for you and your family! Cheers, Steffen from Adventure Gear Projects 🤘😎
Thank you for the update. Doing what you love for work is awesome. I picked up sewing in order to start my own business last year. I love watching your tutorials. I have learned a lot from watching your process and the quality of your videos. I hope you are able to find some time to make a tutorial video from time to time. Your videos are instructional but also just enjoyable to watch. Does your company have an affiliate in the United States?
We also deliver to the USA if it is that, what you would like to know 🤘😎 and big thanks and I feel honored that I could be such a Motivation to people🤜🤛
I just recently got into tactical sewing as a hobby and I can't tell you enough how your videos helped me and showed me where I was making mistakes! Sad to see you at the "end" of this channel, but I hope to see more content in the future!
I got from watching your tutorials to working in the tactical nylon industry watched the entire video and I'm definitely excited to see your next projects both for tactical trim and here
Good to hear you're doing what you want in life. It makes things so much easier. I've made a number of your boxed zipper pouches for some motorcycle gear. I've gone from that to designing pouches for my motorcycle GPS and it's various cords and things. To pistol cases and lots of things. Thanks for all of your great videos in the past. I wish good things for you in the future. Thanks
Just stumbled upon your channel! Your tutorials are some of the best I've seen - clear, well-structured, and incredibly helpful. They've made a big difference for me. Thank you!" Congratulations on your new job!
Congratulations! Your tutorials encouraged me to sew my first project, a frame bag for my gravel bike (no camo, just black fabric, night tactical 😜). I am very grateful for inspiring me and I will follow your channel carefully. Greetings!
Vielen Dank für deine Tutorials. Der Boxy Bag war heute mein erstes Projekt und es hat sehr gut geklappt! Nochmal Danke und alles Gute für deinen weiteren Werdegang und stets ein glückliches Händchen.
Hey, danke für deinen Kommentar und folge mir gern auf dem Kanal von Tacticaltrim. Dort geht's nach unserer Know How Reihe mit Tutorials aus meiner Hand weiter😎🤘 Gruß, Steffen
Congratulations, Steffen! Life is a journey, and in order to make the most of it, we need to move when opportunity comes our way. You’re young and this is likely just another stepping stone in your journey. The sewing machine will still be there when the inspiration and time allows, and I look forward to seeing some of your future adventures and creations. Much enjoyment and success in your endeavors. Joe DigBags
I’ve only just discovered your channel. I’m so impressed with your skills as a craftsman in fabrics and videographer. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills.🇬🇧👍🏻
Hey and thank you for following. If you wish, jump over to the Tacticaltrim RU-vid Channel. There I gonna continue my Video Series with Tutorials, when the basic beginner know how series is done😎🤘
Os projetos apresentados no canal são inspiração pra realização dos meus projetos próprios, obrigado, espero que continue, parabéns! Um abraço do Brasil.
Thanks for these videos they are very nice and good, inspirate me to try make my own really quality gear what l need, I enjoyed watching your skils and everything look so easy in right hands. all luck for you, greetings from Serbia! 🇷🇸
PROST! That’s awesome. Now you’ll be able to continue what doing what you love while getting paid for it. Your videos have been of great help to me and always inspire me to go out of my comfort zone. I very much look forward to following your progress and growth with Tactical Trim.
It's great to hear from you, and that things are going well. I think your tutorial videos are the best on RU-vid. They are superbly filmed, and easy to follow. I'm a sewing beginner, and they have been a huge inspiration to have a go myself. If you are going to make videos for Tactical Trim, I will be subscribing, but it's also nice to hear that you will be keeping Adventure Gear Projects going, I'm sure whatever you put on the channel will be well worth watching. Best wishes, Steve.
Just found you today! From the tutorial videos I've seen of yours the basics are all there - people have the building blocks to go on and make their own inventions. Looking forward to seeing your channel grow!
Congratulations on the dream opportunity and huge props to Tactical Trim for giving you such a rare opportunity! I wish more companies would offer this opportunity. I look forward towards the future of your career and wish you the best! Cheers from the other side of the pond 🍻
Thanks for making gear videos in the past, those really helped me make some of my first visions happen and allow me to have some extra income by making custom gear for military and airsoft hobbyists ! Keep doing what you love !
I think your tutorials are some of the clearest and easiest to follow that I have seen. I can appreciate the time it took to make them. I have kept hoping that you would do some more! I hope that you enjoy your new job and look forward to whatever new content you put out. Thank you for letting us know what you are doing now.
Thank you for the update! And congrats to you for following your passion and freeing up personal time to enjoy life. You were one of the inspirations for me to get into sewing, buy a few machines and I’ve made many of your items… watching, sewing, rewinding and sewing ;). You have great tutorials. I will certainly subscribe to tactical trim and enjoy any content you out out. Thanks!!
Your videos to this point have been the clearest, and most helpful anywhere. Thank you. But you must take care to have a life of your own. Look after yourself and I will continue to search for anything new you build, no matter the banner it might be issued under. Thanks again. Alf
Gut, wenn du jetzt wieder mehr Life hast (es heißt nicht umsonst Balance) und sich dir gleichzeitig solche Möglichkeiten bieten! Ich würden drei Videoformate besonders begeistern: - Einsatz von Gear im wirklichen Gebrauch (bspw. eine gefilmte Tagestour), wobei der Fokus mehr auf dem Abenteuer liegt - Gear und seine Geschichte, wo ein Part Näh-Tutorial wäre und der andere die ganzen Gedanken dahinter bespricht Idee, Zweck, Entwicklung, Teilhaber, Einsatzmöglichkeiten (bspw. erst zeigst du wie die Tasche genäht wird, dann erzählst du wie sie dich zum eigenen Business geführt hat, ähnlich wie in diesem Video mit mehr Details und Designprozess als Bonus) - Abläufe/Vorgehensweise deiner Tätigkeit, also der Metakram, wie entwirfst du, wie machst du ein Video, wie ist seine Werkstatt aufgebaut etc
Danke für den ausführlichen Input! Finde ich sehr cool! Tatsächlich hatte ich auch an eine ähnliche Richtung gedacht und den Leuten mehr einen Einblick in den Hintergrund zu geben! Danke dafür 😎🤜🤛 Gruß, Steffen
Da ich mich oftmals in ähnlichen Situationen befand und auch teilweise befinde, kann ich das absolut nachvollziehen. Gute Entscheidung, hätte ich genauso gemacht. Ich wünsche dir viel Erfolg und Freude für deine kommende Arbeit (die ich sehr schätze) und für deine Hobbys. Beste Grüße Yannick
Hey Yannik! Danke dir dass du das auch so siehst und Danke für dein Verständnis 🤘😎 jetzt habe ich zum Glück einen Job, der mich wenigstens in allein Teilen meiner Arbeit motiviert und mir auch den Freiraum gibt, was ich auf meinem Kanal bisher nicht realisieren konnte! Gruß, Steffen
I personally respect for your life style direction change. I just hope you not to remove your tutorial videos as they are great source of knowledge and inspiration, specially as im setting up a new job related to sewing tactical bags and leather stuff these days.
It feels like I found you too late but I’m always glad to hear people making positive changes for themselves outside of the needs of others. Well done mate
Hallo Steffen, vielen Dank für deine tollen Videos die du für uns alle gemacht hast. Ich habe so viel gelernt von dir 🙏❤❤❤ du machst also weiter bei oder für tactical trim. Das finde ich gut , 2 fulltime Jobs machen dich kaputt. Ich freue mich wenn ich weiterhin von dir Tutorials sehen kann🤗
Hallo Dagmar. Danke für deine lieben Worte und dass du so viel von mir lernen konntest. Und ja, meine Arbeit geht auf dem selben Weg auf dem Kanal von Tacticaltrim weiter. Also schau dort gern demnächst vorbei 😎🤘 viele Grüße, cheers
Getting a work life balance is REALLY hard. Especially if you want to also have a family and may be exercise. its a real skill to fit everything in. Perhaps a few gear reviews or refinement summaries. The basic assembly is done. People can see the past videos for that. It would be interesting to review your own designs. Since you might then go on to refine and improve that. Your thinking in this may be helpful. Also what basic tools / fabrics does one need to keep stock of. To run your own sewing shop. Whether you do it professionally or as a hobby. Tips and tricks like that are helpful. For example I did not know that you could use adhesive tape when assembling or sewing materials and zips. It is so neat. I like that.
I truly understand doing what is best for you. I have been in that situation myself. Though I'm a fairly new subscriber to your channel, I have found it to be a tremendous asset to my learning. And while I will miss your tutorial videos, doing what you need to do is paramount to anything else. I will continue to monitor your channel to see what you are doing, and hoping down the road you will have the time to make your tutorial videos again. Good luck on your new career, I hope it all works out for you. I will check out your new jobs channel also. Thanks again...
If not for your videos I wouldn't have attempted to make these items. Thank you so much and nice to hear and see you. Would love to know how you learned to make these items.... totally agree with your reasoning to have life balance. Wise
Just like fans of a music band, there are those that accept evolution and those that dont. I've followed, watched and rewatched your video tutorials for some time now. Thank you for posting. Please don't remove the existing videos.
Thank you for your Words! And I totally agree to you! And I will definitely never remove my Tutorials, because they are what raised this Channel and this Community 😎🤜🤛
I didnt even speak English and this video was uploaded one year ago,You probably Will never see this but two days ago i bought My first sew machine and the first thing i did was a mini bag that i found in your channel,thank You a lot
i have an industrial sewing machine , and i’m digging deeper into sewing. I am looking for tutorials and supplies for tactile style products. do you recommend any other youtubers that have tutorial for tacticle sewing projects? i e seen all of yours but still looking for more.
Work to live, don't live to work! When someone realizes that there are things in life far more important than a job, true happiness can only then be achieved. REALLY enjoy your videos and hope to see more how-to's, designs and projects in the future but take care of yourself, your family and your friends first and foremost--everything else will follow suit. Prost!
Love your tutorials ❤ wish you done more. I made the pocket organiser and the box zipper pouch. Just getting materials and gonna work through your gear. Thank you so much 😊 So excited to see what’s coming 🎉
Das ist ein schwieriges Thema, bei dem ich definitiv nicht "den ultimativen Tipp" geben kann! Als ich mit Nähen und meinem Kanal angefangen habe, war ich in der Szene noch recht allein damit. Und habe ich die Facebook Gruppen von zwei Freunden nutzen dürfen, um meine Projekte zu publizieren. Zudem kommt es auf deine Zielgruppe an! Mein Tipp... Nutze Facebook und Insta, vernetze dich und mach vor allem, worauf du Bock hast! Gruß, Steffen von Adventure Gear Projects
you don't need to change nothing man just grow ape from pouChise to small bags to big begs to vests to chests to plate carriers you definitely can do this. yes i know it needs time bat you don't need to hurry just keep doing what you ar doing. make tutorial videos because there is no such channel in RU-vid what you are doing. from your experience i start also seawing from my one and maybe in future i will do some videos also. thanks
Moin, und dass gerade von einem Bayern🙈 (bitte mit Humor nehmen). Von meinen Patches gibt's noch ein paar... Einfach eine Mail an adventuregearprojects@gmail.com schreiben! Gruß, Steffen (aus Sachsen)
I am a machinist by trade, and gunsmith by hobby. I got a job in weapons development, and now my hobby is my job, then it wasn’t fun anymore. So now I’m a gunsmith and sewing is my hobby, now I’m just starting a hobby business sewing, hope it doesn’t become my job because then I will have to take up machining as a hobby. 😳
I think it isn't the job that destroys the enthusiasm about the passion with what you fill it. It is the conditions itself, like collegues, customers or the job situation. My hobby now became job and it doesn't feel like work because the conditions are optimal and my collegues are the best team I could ever wish to work with!
