  1. I’ve been watching your channel since the very start it’s amazing to see how hugh it’s got but it’s not surprising with the great content you put out all the products and the information to another 50k and beyond congrats brother

    1. Yo Congratulations bro On 50 K and I’ve been watching your videos for a while and I would say my favorite is probably the tactical games it really shows More real world shooting then just shoot paper targets or steal

      1. Congrats on hitting 50k, Kit! I’ve known about your channel for a whole but just recently started really watching your videos and my favorite video so far was the one about your motivational tattoos! You’ve got some cool history behind your tats and it was fun listening to the story behind them.

        1. Congrats on 50k. Ive watched your stuff for a while now. Fav has to be The Tactical Games stuff. You convinced me to register and ill be competing this summer @ shooters gauntlet in PA. Secondly thanks for always responding to gear questions over on IG

          Thanks

          1. Congratulation s on 50k. So far my current favorite is desert brutality retro video 1. It was the video that got me to subscribe to your channel.

        2. I really enjoyed the tactical games and desert brutality videos. It has really sparked my interest in competing in some matches. Thank you for the content!

      3. Congratulations on hitting 50k. Love your content, especially the backdrops, truly amazing scenery. One of my favorites is the in shop Q videos, keep the amazing videos rolling.

      4. Hey. My favorite video had to be the tutorial on painting your rifle. Runner up would be your series on The Fix rifle and their assembly process. Feel silly for responding on your review page. I hope whoever wins this really enjoys the rifle and takes good care of it.

    2. Ivan ,
      My name is Nathan Anderson , and I have been a subscriber for quite some time now!Congrats on the 50k subscriptions sir! My favorite videos are the painting your pistol/rifle , your …divorce , and pretty much everything you say about contracting is spot on. We are here in Anaconda Mt. and hope you stay safe and healthy!
      -Cheers

    3. My favorite video is the first one of yours I ever saw: Pros and Cons of Security Contracting. Been a subscriber ever since!

      1. Best vid…tough choice there. The one with you teaching your sons how to skin a rabbit is great. As I said on that video, we need more fathers teaching kids about the outdoors.
        Also, any video with a Pennywise soundtrack. I love that you worked with 9-hole review and then the hog slayer himself, Todd Huey.

        Greatest part about this, you did it. You made a decision and now you are following through. Sounds simple, but so many struggle with it.

    4. I enjoy the tactical games gear review videos… Specifically the SC video. Good overview of the gear I’m interested in, and I loved the videos of that match… That facility looked like an awesome place to host a competition.

    5. I really enjoy watching your bolt gun builds. The CZ and ruger American builds really shows that you can make any rifle into your own. Keep up the good work.

    6. I really like all your videos but if I had to pick it still wouldn’t be one I liked the series factory to table because it’s something I’ve always thought would be awesome to do and you actually got to do it. I would love to get out a gun all decked out and say I built everything on it what an experience

    7. My favorite video is your Retro M16E1 review. I love these older retro rifles. Congrats on making it to 50K subs. You definitely deserve a lot more. Great channel. Keep them coming

    8. Congratulations man! I knew since the start the channel would take off. A lot is said for your sincerity. Your simple down to earth nature makes you a great content creator.

      My favorite videos are definitely the ones regarding your time contracting. The reason is I was (like many boots) drawn time the idea of contracting when I got out of the military. I appreciate the realistic explanation of your time doing it. It really helped me stay in the States and land this very good job. So me and my family want to thank you.

      I’m excited to be able to comment on the 500k Giveaway.

    9. My favorite video (well video series) was you making the Q – Fix. Everytime I get a product I think of all the different people that came together to make a great product. It was awesome to see you meet all the people involved.

    10. Happy 50k baybeeee, favorite video was you runnin the hipoint during the course. Absolute cash money.

    11. Love the channel man I’d say my favored video(s) is the Q honey badger factory to table series. It was pretty dope If you ask me as an owner it’s cool to see how everything is assembled!

    12. I’ve been watching for a while and enjoy your content very much. I still love the honey badger series, and while I cannot afford one just yet I bought their barrel and made my one on a sense. Fantastic creator, keep up the good work!!

    13. My favorite video that you did was the Brownells Retro M16E1 review. I am in love with that rifle and I enjoyed seeing you review it. Thank you for all you do Kit Badger

    14. Hey Ivan, I just wanted to say thank you for keeping on keeping on, I’ve loved your conversations about contracting work, and your float tape series has been an excellent one! Thank you for contributing to the youtube tactical world!

    15. Congrats on the 50k subscribers, very well deserved. Lately before the big ammo run I was really enjoying watching Desert Brutality and the Tactical games series as I was trying to steal some ideas to start hosting miniature competitions with some buddies that are local to me. I always enjoy your content because you seem very down to earth and just genuine such as showing the guns your boys got for Christmas.

    16. My favorite videos are the to build a fire series because you sort out what works and what doesn’t. Added bonus of reading a neat short story I wasn’t aware of. Congrats on reaching 50k.

    17. I love how you talked about how u got into private contracting. It showed me that I had NO business doing private contracting.

    18. My favorite video was “Cashmere Shemagh by Prometheus Design Werx.” I didn’t buy the scarf, but I started wearing one to work. It kept me warm while working outside all winter long. Keep up the good work.

    19. Like most of us in this community, I have watched, read, and researched countless designs, concepts, and tactics. Included in that is reviews and breakdowns of gear, equipment, and tools. Kit Badger has been the most dependable source of gun and gear related knowledge that I have found so far. I’ll rewatch videos over how to set up and the purpose of a battle belt (‘The Battle Belt’). The quality and articulation of information that you put out is second to none, and your tone through it all is very educational. Plus, I love seeing the involvement with your son in specific videos, like in ‘Painting Your Rifle’.

    20. Congrats on 100k! I’m a long time fan and would have to pick your video on The Sugar Weasel by Q. There’s just something about blackout that makes me smile.

    21. I started watching when you did the fix series of videos at the q facility. Keep up the good work.

    22. Congrats! 100k by the end of the year!
      My favorite videos have been ones featuring the p7 or the trooper!

    23. Hi Ivan!
      Congratulations on 50k!!!
      My favorite video is anything float tapes haha or when you have your kids review guns!

  2. I got started on your channel with the contract work and it helped me figure out what I want to do with my military career and life. Thank you for the videos bro!

    1. It’s a tie from your remington 700 upgrade to the q chassis and a simple vid on glock upgrades under 140 they both helped me make informed decisions. Thanks for all the hard work

    2. 1st video I’ve seen of yours was your review on the Hill people gear Chest pack. A like you’re tutorials and a lot of your content cause you seem like a down-to-earth dude. Congrats on your 50k subs!

    1. Been with you since your appearance on TVB TV. I look forward to being with you at the millionth subscriber! My favorite episode is the one where you go shooting in the clothes you got married in. I recently went through a divorce, that I didn’t want, and did the same thing. I took some pretty bad memories and helped wipe the slate clean and start making good ones.

  6. I think your hiking videos with your family are the best. My first kid is about to be born. I hope to have as much fun as you! Cool to see them shooting that Smith and Wesson victory as well.
    Godspeed man.

  7. I always enjoy the tactical games videos. They seem like they are fun and I would love to do it sometime.

  8. Love your reviews. You never bullshit me just to sell a product. You are a real dude and that comes through in your videos. Keep up the good work.

  9. Love all your stuff Devil Dog. The Q fix build video’s are my favorite really enjoyed the deep dive into that rifle. It’s definitely my new lust!

    Semper Fi

  10. i have two favorites…the Q build visit, because I live 15 minutes away from Q and loved having the insight. And second, the Ramen noodle taste tests with the kids. All of this is ultimately for the kids in the long run.

    Until that day.

  11. Congrats on 50K! Just found your channel about three months ago, and one of my favorite videos is “the date night drill”. Keep up the great work!

  12. Choose one video? Wow. Just thank you and keep up the good work. You have one of the best shooting and adventure channels on you tube!

    1. I really enjoyed your desert brutality Series It’s Fun to watch how the guns perform in competition and what you learned under the clock, keep up the good work!!

  13. I found your channel when you did the honey badger deep dive, been hooked since then. Love that series because I love seeing the design and engineering that goes into guns being an engineer myself. Keep it up ivan

  15. Congrats on the milestone! Appreciate the float tapes. Enjoy the banter and the real behind the scenes of war time.

  16. Found your channel through your page when I got your anatomical targets. Videos? Most recently your Desert Brutality video. Why? I just happen to like those type of videos.

    Grats on 50000!

    1. First off congrats on the 50k. I like the 50k give away video, cause I just bought a retro eagle arms ar15. I like the old school look. Keep up the great work you are doing. 2A all day everyday.

  17. I think the pros and cons to security contracting was one of my favorites. I believe it was the first video I saw but I thought it was a cool setting and some funny stories of the ins and outs of contracting

  18. Pistol painting 3 years ago was one of my favorite vids you have done among others mainly because that was when I discovered your channel and as much I didn’t like the thought of doing that to my guns it helped me over the hurtle and to actually do it and for that I thank you.

  19. I love the strawberry mountain videos. It’s been great following you in your adventures and life experiences!

  20. The deep dive series on the Honey Badger by Q was rad. Albeit it’s hard to choose when you consistently put out quality content. Keep up the solid work!

  22. Your tactical game series has really inspired me to get back into fitness. I am currently in medical school and I made a habit of making excuses and often skipped workouts by telling myself I didn’t have time and was too tired. After watching your videos on the tactical games, I decided to start training for an event like that. I have not set a date yet and it may be a while before I can get to one with the current coronavirus situation, but I am determined to push myself and at least get to one event this year. If only I had a nice new rifle to take with me…

  23. Found your videos based on the factory to table series which was probably the most interesting thing to see you make all the gear for the mini Q

  26. Don’t need the rifle, but I support your efforts; you’re doing well. As far as videos I’ve liked? Your location choice(S) are always great, I enjoy the “dust out” shooting from beneath your rig, and I like what you did to that trooper! Keep it up, and Thanks!

  27. Starting watching after you were on TFB. Got hooked when you kept on bringing all the tactical games videos. Slav uniform was the best! Thanks Ivan!

  28. Awesome work Ivan! My fav video was the Christmas shoot with your boys! It’s super cool to see your relationship with them and how respectful and well trained they are!

  29. My favorite videos are the tactical games. I enjoy watching the actual videos of the games but the load outs are the best. I find it interesting that you are constantly adjusting and trying new things. Keep up the awesome work

  30. Congratulations again on the milestone of 50k subscribers. I’ll be honest all of your videos have been great but the painting your AR one you did I think is still my favorite. We conversed a little back and forth through email about my first paint job and I sent you a pic of my final product. You always have a way of explaining things simply, and that video put me at ease about painting my brand new AR. I’ve learned a lot from all your videos but really enjoyed that one. Keep up the good work bro. Stay safe

  31. Awesome, Congrats dude, Gotta say my favorite post was your Pros and Cons of Security Contracting.! “Blackwater branded over and over again” haha

  32. solid work on 50k my dude

    my favorite video is definitely your 30 mile hike from last summer, inspired me to start doing some longer distance hiking and I’ve been loving it!

  33. The video that started me watching was your Safariland ALS review. Saying the Blackhawk was a piece of crap…I lost it! Your humor is priceless. That’s for all the great video! I also stick around for the punk music!

  34. heck sure yes
    I found all the videos on Security Contracting pretty fascinating, and any video that deep dives into gear is great so I love the whole battle belt playlist.

  35. I like the video about painting guns,but been honest I like then all. Just for the reason that you use the wild life outdoors to do your videos,keep the good work A…..

  36. Congrats on 50k! I personally love all the gear load out videos and also the series on the Q fix build. Keep up the good work!

  37. Love the videos and I appreciate all the videos you have made. Congratulations on the 50k subscribers!
    My favorite video that you have made was the working contract security overseas videos. The reason it’s my favorite is because I debated doing it after I got done in the military. Thank you so much for the chance to win a very cool and rad little rifle.

  38. I’m a big fan of kit in general, not being a “cool guy” my it’s always interesting to see what professionals are looking at. Everything you show seems really objective and honest. My favorite video so far is the desert brutality kit overview, like i said i’m not a face shooter but the two gun action matches are actually attend-able so that’s why that’s my favorite. Reviews from Hi-point to “Q” show such a wide variety that it’s easy to get interested. Thank you for all that you do.

    Very Respectfully,

    Eric

  39. Really like the tactical games content. Cool to see different forms of competitive shooting that aren’t available near me. Keep up the awesome work!

  40. Congrats on the 50k man! I’ve always enjoyed your channel because your reviews are practical and you are so level headed about things. My first video I ever saw of yours was (To build a fire part 1), and that hooked me. That’s a great book too! Again man, congratulations!

    1. Favorite video was probably the surefire flash comp, not sure why just a good video

  41. My absolute favorite video was building the rifle for the Factory to Table video. It was a very cool look at something I didn’t know much about.

  42. I really enjoy you video’s or review’s on gear you’ve enjoyed/preferred to use that is isn’t a firearm.

  43. It’s been awesome to see your channel grow, and see some great comedic moments like Grey Death Adder. Congrats on 50k

  45. My favorite was your series on being a Military Contractor. Neat to hear someone’s point of view who has been through those types of jobs and I subbed right after I saw one!

  46. Congratulations on 50k,My favorite video was the pros and cons of security contracting beacuse it is a job I am considering in the future.

  47. Very under rated channel. Keep up the great work, I honestly really enjoyed the tactical games videos and just anything about you rambling on.

  48. Congratulations Ivan,
    Well deserved accomplishment. The tactical games were my favorite, mainly for the load outs and one day shooting around more people getting out of my comfort zone.Wish I could have joined in Florida but we work before we play. Ramon tapes and gun reviews with your sons are great content to watch with my boys.Strawberry mountain is pretty epic, hell I like all the day videos apparently. Feel like we’re good friends through videos. Continue kicking butt

  49. I would have to say the Brownells Retro M16E1 video, I have been looking to that gun for re-enacting purposes and found your video very informative on the rifle.

  50. I loved it when you competed in the Tactical Games in your Track Suit! Adding a freakin fanny pack was priceless!

  51. Recently found your channel just a few weeks ago as I was doing research for a Q Trash Panda. The video on touring the Q facility, and going through the manufacturing of an actual Trash Panda sold me both on the Kit Badger channel and Q products👍

    Congratulations on 50k, and thanks for the giveaway opportunity!

  52. Man been watching for quite some time, I believe the first I watched and have been subscribed ever sense was your wrist watch review about 3 years ago or so, needed a good watch and you had a good take on it. Always enjoy your content keep it up!

  53. Stumbled on your channel. Loved the honest feedback. One of my favorite videos was your debriefing on the Tactical Games and highlighting their shortcomings. Not as a slight but as a method of feedback for them to improve their product. And the push to just compete at elite. Judge yourself based on the best otherwise you give false sense of ability. Thanks for all you put into the channel.

  54. Congrats on 50K. Love your channel and you are an inspiration to all of us dads who love the outdoors & shooting and are trying to bring the next generation up right.

  55. i love the videos with your kids. reminds me of mine when they were that age. now they are teenagers to cool for me. maybe shoot with me once every few months. love your channel.

  56. Congratulations on hitting 50k! My favorite video… anything related the tactical games.

  57. Congrats brotha on the success! Been following your channel since around the 29k subs mark with my favorite videos being the cz 527 reports. That series alone made me go out and buy the first 527 carbine I saw 👌. Keep it up!!

  58. All of the float tapes, because it shows people What You’re Made Of and exposes a little of your soul so no, Thank you!

  59. Hey Ivan,

    Got a lot of value from the ‘paint your weapon’ videos. The video(s) that I remember the most: “To Build a Fire” 1st episode…..Jack London explanation & demonstration. Not many YouTubers throwing themselves in cold water to get a more ‘authentic’ survival scenarios. Pretty badass.

    The ‘Q’ videos (suppressors, rifles, AR ‘pistols’) are superb! Keep up with Q products & teasers. Pork Chop, 8.6mm, etc. Kevin Brittingham knows greatness when he sees it. I like the philosophy talks (Catharsis, etc) as well. Maybe one day….I can cultivate the ‘Kit Badger’ cool, calm, collectedness attitude.

    – John

  60. Great channel! I really enjoyed the videos on the Honey Badger. Keep making great videos!

  61. Originally I found your channel when I was researching the PMC field for a friend of mine as he was in a tough spot after getting out of the military and wanted a high speed job that paid well. I asked him if he knew about contract work and found your videos. My favorite one would probably be “Security Contracting: What it is and How to get Started” as I just find the entire industry interesting but I really enjoy your gear reviews as I’m interested in the prepping life style!

  62. Catharsis is probably my number 1. Reall like the father and sons videos as well. Punk rock sound track is bar none. Congratulations on 50k and to 50k more.

  63. Send it to me, Ivan! I deserve it more than these other tools! :>)
    I like the To Build A Fire series. That was a great series of videos. And I like Jack London, so it worked out that way, too. My boys dig his compilation of stories. You should recreate some of the mail run scenes from Call of the Wild (not the movie).

  64. The grey death adder shout out…best video. 2nd best, when you replied to my comment when I commended Minute Man Ammo & Spiro.

  65. My favorite vids are the ones that led me to your channel in the first place…the CZ 527 series. I keep coming back to wanting to add one of those as an accessory to my AK but life keeps getting in the way. Someday…Keep up the good work.

  66. Pros and con of security contracting was the first video I watched. Love the content. Very informative and strait to the point. That video was the most truthful and honest video on the subject on the entire internet. I like that you included personal experiences . It makes you more relatable to the viewers, even if none of us were ever contractors.
    Love your videos !

    1. My favorite video that you posted was the tactical games. I really wanna join that competition and by watching your videos gives me a heads up on what to expect. As an infantryman I think subscribing and watching your videos is a no brainer. I’ll keep watching your videos. More to power to you my man!

  67. Love the ADM 308 video watching the dirt fly. All the factory to table Q stuff was neat. Keep up the fight!

  68. Love your build tutorial and paint tutorial, got me started into the building world. I love the way you go over the features of the gear you review, very professional!

  69. Started watching with your m400 tread vid on TFBTV and been here since. I loved the video where you talked about your divorce and how shooting helped. the “permission not required” one is my favorite, Really made me get out there in the wilderness and relax. Also I couldn’t pass up the chance at winning something for free lol

  70. I found your channel because of your Q videos. I stayed because you’re rad. Your video with Lone Star Boars is one of my favorites, because he’s also rad.

  72. Congratulations!
    I love your content and seeing some of my favorite scenery from the inland. My favorite vid(s) have been the tactical games. I’ve spent a lot of time recouping after brain surgery the last six months and that looks like a “fun” way to get some excercise and gun time.

  73. Congrats on 50k! My favorite video of yours is the one of you showing off your custom 20 round bandolier by Lunar Concepts I’m super jealous lol.

  74. Congrats on the 50k mark. They’re good videos, so it’s no surprise you made it this far. I’m sure another 50k will come soon. Favorite video was the discussion on grey man and not sticking out. Living in a military community, it’s so overly easy to see people who are blatantly part of the community.

  75. Congratulations. My favorite video of recent memory would have to be one of the desert brutalities with your suit on. Goes to show that you can have a lot of fun with guns and look good while doing it too! Great for our culture right now… keep up the good work!

  76. Congrats on the 50k!!! Also more ramen episodes! They’re a great and fun way to shake up the channel. Love what you do man keep it up!

  77. I liked the tactical games videos the best. It’s nice to get an idea of what they’re like. I’d eventually like to do one.

  78. Thanks 4 the giveaway! I liked the video when you took your son out and showed him how to hunt and properly gut the meat. It was awesome to watch! Hope 2 see you hit 100k soon enough!

  79. I enjoyed the fire starting videos where you’d jump in the freezing water and try to get one going.

  80. My favorite video was the safariland als video. As a teenage shooter I did a ton of research and your video stood out. It’s been the best thing I’ve bought so far and I enjoy getting my dry fire reps in with it. Thanks for the informative videos thanks.

  81. I think Grey Death Adder is probably the only one qualified to own such a fine rifle, for stopping ass terrorists of course.

    If he can’t be reached, I would be honored to take it in his place.

    Keep up the good work devil, here’s to 50k more!

  82. I am reminded of a Ivan’s nugget of knowledge from “Painting your Rifle” Don’t be that guy! Good stuff. But you best videos are of Ivan the dad with Ira and Jatta. Looking forward to more.

  83. Well deserved success but just a short stop on the journey to the summit. My favorite video is the one you did for TFB TV on the Savage 110 Tactical Desert. That video influenced me to buy the rifle and follow Kit Badger.

      1. Holy smokes Batman! Thank you so much. When I became a Patreon supporter, it was to help those who produce honest and thoughtful content; not for winning stuff, so being selected as the winner of the XBRN177, I am quite chuffed. It has made my shelter in place more tolerable.

        David

  84. It’s tough to pick one video that’s my fave; your competition vids are all exciting and I get a kick out of your kids in all the vids they show up in. If I had to pick, I guess it would be your Float Tapes vid where you and your fellow Marines found out that the US was at war on 9/11. It’s not a fun vid like the others perhaps but that’s a piece of history that I experienced in a very different way than you did and it was fascinating to see it from the perspective of someone who would be so directly affected by that event.

  85. Congrats on crossing a big mile marker! I think I’ve been a subscriber since around the 3K mark but can’t say for sure. I have loved watching the channel grow and with it the opportunities you have.

    I don’t have a favorite video, but I think I have enjoyed your Factory to the table series. You make different choices than I would, cool, but it’s fun to watch the choices and then you build them.

  86. I like most all your videos, but liked the deep dive series on the Honey Badger the most. I was contemplating buying one and you pushed me over the edge. Now you have me looking at the Mini Fix,so thanks alot….lol.

  87. Congrats on 50k! My favorite video/videos are the Q factory tours and your deep dives on various products. I found your channel like most probably, while looking for a quality to the point review on something I was looking to buy. You have cost me a lot of money…

    Heres to the next 50k

  88. Awesome channel! My favorite video was the Ruger American build. It was a fun project that has inspired me to start looking for more project type guns. It’s great to see someone build something just for fun and not have to be uber-tactical.

    This channel displays a great attitude. You do a great job showing that adventure is right there in front of us if we are willing to pursue it!

  89. I found you channel when looking for videos on the Spiritus Chest Rig, and have been working my way through your backlog of videos for the last few months.

  90. Idk if it was the music or the thoroughness of your reviews that had me sold. The 10 yard zero target was one of the most helpful videos I found on your channel. Congrats on 50k.

  91. Congrats on 50k! You deserve that tenfold. I really enjoy all the storytime videos and hearing your life experiences.

  92. Ive always appreciated your down to earth advice in all of your vids. And they are a joy to watch. Congratulations man good job.

  93. Congrats on 50k! Love the videos! How to train for the tactical games: one easy step is by far my favorite! It gave me some of the most profound advice I have ever heard anywhere. Not only can it be applied to trading for the tactical games but thought your life. The more I thought about it the more valueable it became! “Always keep a little in the tank, know your engine.” I came for the guns and grear but got so much more. God bless.

  94. Picking one would be extremely hard. Hell, picking just two was hard to do. But, my favorite 2 videos tied for best would be “The Model 1 by Radian Arms” and “Gibbz Arms G4 Receiver Set”. Both are amazing and interesting items that I will have to eventually get and try. Model 1 video did go into more detail, but both items I can’t wait to own one day. Keep up the great content!

  95. My initial experiences with your content stem from my desire for information regarding products that I have personally been interested in purchasing. From scopes such as the Razor 1-6 or Nightforce NX8, to jackets such as the Arcteryx Atom LT. You cover many things that you simply cannot find quality content about elsewhere. I’m now a subscriber that has made multiple purchases based on your experiences. Congrats on the 50K, and here’s to the next..

  96. Been here from around the beginning since around 800 subs. First video I saw that I can remember was your Glock 17 rattle can vid. Also the Q videos and the Ruger American was sick. The music intros are killing it still. Keep up the good work and I look forward to what’s to come. Thanks.

  97. I’ve been watching your videos for a little over a year and have really enjoyed your content. I would say my favorite video was your “2018 Tactical Games loadout” as it’s what encouraged me to get my butt back into shape with the goal of competing (I’m signed up for 1 event later this year, may end up doing 2). I appreciate the awesome content and congratulate you on the well earned 50k subscribers; it’ll be 100k in no time!!!

  98. I think it’s pathetic sort of life you choose
    Methods abused, solutions refused
    Good for you, but some day you will loose your life
    Without even giving it a try
    Depression’s the only thing you’ll find
    Give it one chance before you die
    Just got one day to get a life

    Proud of you, brother!

  99. Congratulations on reaching 50k. I really like your videos with your kids. My 6 year old really enjoys watching them with me.

  100. You got me hooked with your Hill People Gear Kit Bag review, and kept me with consistent content that’s “just right sized” and includes some super cool adventures. Keep being inspiring, and I’ll try to pass it on.

  101. I loved you video on the Q Honey Badger. I love seeing something, as a College Student I’ll never be able to own due my Student budget. But CONGRATS on 50K! Loved your videos from when I first started watching!

  103. Been a subscriber for a bit now and love the content! I loved the mini fix videos you definitely showed me a gun that I really want in the near future! I hope you aren’t doing another gun giveaway at 100k because that’s right around the corner I have a feeling haha. Keep up the stellar content can’t wait to see what the channel brings in the future!
    Cheers!
    Gavin M

  104. Entering the giveaway. Dope little gun, love your channel and really love your voice. Very relaxing and trusting. I like all the vids especially the Q vids. You’ve done a lot for their brand.

  105. My favorite video of yours was the Ruger American Project. It inspired me to do a similar build for my first bolt-action rifle. I stumbled upon your channel by watching your Arc’teryx Atom Lt review. I have the same jacket as you and love it. Congrats man and keep up the great content!

  107. I CAN NOT WIN this rifle because I am a few years away from moving out of a shitty state. However, I would like to say congrats. I would first like to say all of your videos are rad. Secondly, I find the competition videos and adventure/survival vlogs to be equally riveting. Keep up the good work, love to see all the content from reviews to shooting drills. I found you from TFB TV but I am here to stay. Live to get radical man.

  108. Congrats on the 50k! Been following the Chanel for a few years now and Always love the videos with the family as I have two young kids myself.

  109. Congratulations on 50k. I watched your Painting Your Rifle video to learn how to paint my AR. I think I heard about your channel from TFB TV, and have been subscribed since.

  110. I found inspiration in the pocket stove review to take my 2 boys out into the woods and cook some hotdogs. I found this channel researching the sugar weasel, which I have since purchased. Thanks!

  111. 1st video I’ve seen of yours was your review on the Hill people gear Chest pack. A like you’re tutorials and a lot of your content cause you seem like a down-to-earth dude. Congrats on your 50k subs!

  112. The video that got me subscribed was the rattle canning a glock video. I’m so glad I stayed! My favorite videos are by far the class after action reports. However, the Tactical Games videos are swell, as are all of the Q content. Keep up the great work!

  113. Love the reviews and the tac games stuff, but my favorite stuff is your adventures with the kids and the hikes with Bill.

    Thanks!!

    Manny

  114. While difficult to choose, I would have to say your float series videos have been my favorite. I say that because handheld footage will give me headaches and I have been watching the series anyway. It helps show to everyone the elements of the military that they don’t show you in recruitment videos or talk about in famous speeches.

    That being said, your calm and objective take on things are why I enjoy your channel as a whole. You have a reason for your opinion, which I can respect, even if I don’t agree with it.

    1. Love the adventure vids and the down to earth gear reviews. You’re also the reason I got into Lems Boulder Boots. Keep doing what you’re doing and you’ll be at 100k in no time.

  115. oddly my favorite video was your review of the blue force gear booboo pouch. i’m a stickler for research when looking for new equipment so your review on that pouch was super helpful. ho’omaika’i (congratulations) on breaking the 50k mark! keep up the awesome work!

    p.s. my birthday is in april. just saying. \m/

  116. I said it on youtube too cuz more people will probably see it but ill say it here too … you’re a true badass but dont boast about it n im really grateful for you sharing your knowledge n experience with a dumbass like me – my favorite video is hands down when you told us about the 8.6 creedmore by Q (even if it never goes into production) – in my mind its the epitome of the AR platform … n ONLY YOU n maybe 1 or 2 others even told us about such an innovation in the gun world – so thx 4 all that you share n you definitely deserve a million subs dude n im not just saying so to win the gun – i really cant believe your channel isnt a lot bigger – best of luck – sorry to be so long but you’re 1 of my favorites 4 sure

  117. Congrats!!! I really enjoy all the tactical games videos. My favorite was the Florida 2019 when you whore the red Adidas track suit. Friggin awesome man and the fanny pack was like icing on the cake! Thanks for the great content, always look forward to your videos.

  118. Congrats on the 50 thou! You’ve gained a well deserved following and I love to see good channels like your prosper
    The Fix-it stick video was probably one of my favorites. Such a badass toolkit. I feel like there’s something about tools that’s tied to being a man

  119. Congrats on the 50k! Big fan of the tactical game load outs and associated gear reviews. I have ended purchasing several of your recommendations. Thanks again.

  120. Congratulations on 50k, it should and will be higher. My favorite videos are you shooting your boys guns with them. I really enjoy shooting with my daughter so those really hit home.

  121. I have recently found your channel and glad I did, great content. I have to say that the Strawberry Mountain series tops my list. Through all the trouble you just kept going back and not giving up. Keep up the good work.

  122. Congrats on 50k! Favorite video is the storage compartment you made for your trooper. Also a fan of the cameo on 9 hole reviews. Appreciate all you do for the community!

  123. Congrats on 50k!! I started watching your vids for your Q vids. Then found your series on suicide. I have shown them in recruit classes to help bring light to the next generation of LE. But my favorite videos are the Ramen Chronicles. I dig that you brought the boys outside and did a taste test. I have now done the same with my daughter. She still prefers top ramen though.
    Keep up the great content and we will see you at 100k!

  124. Great job! Keep the awesome videos coming. I really enjoyed the Deseret brutality videos and the video with lone star boars.

  125. Honestly the float tape series is rad. You’re experienced over seas are cool to hear.

  126. Love the adventure vids and the down to earth gear reviews. You’re also the reason I got into Lems Boulder Boots. Keep doing what you’re doing and you’ll be at 100k in no time.

  128. Personally my favorite was the series of videos you did on the Honey Badger. The videography and depth was superb.

  129. Congrats on the milestone! I’ve been sub’d for a year or two now, and I love your reviews! The first videos of yours I saw was the assembly process for the honey badger, and I thought it was so cool I plan to get into gunsmithing after finishing my bachelor’s. Cheers dude!

  130. Congrats on 50k. I love all of the firearm/gear related videos, but my favorite series is “To Build a Fire.” Jumping in freezing cold water and then trying to start a fire is intense, but semi realistic in the fact that you will likely not be in the best of circumstances when forced to build a fire. Keep up the great content!

  131. Hands down the Gray Death Adder was my favorite. Why, because he got served.

    Keep up the great content Ivan. Been along for the ride from the beginning.

  132. Luckily Florida is still a free state and I can own guns. I really enjoy your gun painting tutorials as well as your quick training tips. Thank you for the opportunity to win a bad ass rifle!

  133. My favorite series of videos was you at Q building that mini Fix. Man that was awesome!!!! I live in Texas so you can send that rifle my way without any worries!!!!😅🤣🤣🤣😅🤣🤣🤣🤣

  134. Hey dude congrats on 50k! Your video on the 12.5 Criterion sold me on a 12.5 AR and I couldn’t be happier! On the road to 100k!

  135. I truly enjoy all of your Q vids and tactical games vids…Keep rocking it! Great Stuff!

  136. Congrats on 50k, my favorite videos are the gear reviews and learning about new products.

  137. I started watch your survival gear videos. the most important part about have gear is using it and being prepared in any situation.

  138. Keep up the great content! So far my favorite video was the one on the cz 527. Although the desert brutality match videos were a close second!

  140. Congrats on 50k! Looking forward to future videos, and 100k will come soon enough. I’m a relatively new sub (around a year, maybe?) but absolutely love your content and no-nonsense, straight to the point style of videos. Anyway. on to the GAW question:

    I can’t pick just one favorite video, so I’ll go with favorite series: Probably the “Farm to Table” series with the Q Mini Fix. Love that little beast! Also love how you got to visit the factories of the companies that make all the rad components that you used in the build. I love hands-on stuff and BTS stuff like that. It’s just rad to see how big companies work.

  141. Fifty Geees Baby! Congrats! Lookin forward to Fiddy more and so on. My fav video was one you did on contracting overseas. If I remember correctly it was a two part series. The pros, the cons, and the way it affected your life. It was the first video of yours I saw and it left a lasting impression. Oh and the scenery was insane. It literally looked so clear and pristine at first glance I thought it was fake. Anyways been a fan ever since. Keep it up bruh….special shout out to your arch nemesis: The Grey Death Adder.🤣

  142. Saw your desert brutality retro division vids and I fell in love. You brought some serious class and coverage to an awesome event. I’m a also a big fan of the stuff you did with rip it. It is nice to see a well spoken gentleman who puts genuine effort into cinematic presentation. I hope to see you at 100k soon! Thanks for everything!

  143. Great channel! I really like your hiking vids and the layouts for those hikes. I also enjoyed the factory to table series. Watching you build the weapon at Q and then take it out was pretty cool. Keep up the good work!

  144. My favorite video was the surefire suppressors. Thanks for all the great content and keep it up!

  145. The deep dive series of “The Fix” by Q is my favorite. Watching the series made me want the rifle so much more. I hope Q starts providing you with all of their products for you to review. You do a great job and more people need to see these videos. Keep it up and can’t wait to see more videos in the future. Congrats on the 50K!!

  146. My favorite video was Security Contracting: What it is and How to get Started. I’ve never been interested in contracting but it was interesting to listen to I really enjoy the fires side chat style. I’m also a big fan of the Float Tapes series. Keep up the great work congrats on 50k can’t wait to watch you grow your platform and channel.

  147. Hey Ivan. Congrats on the 50k. Keep up the great work; we all appreciate it. My favorite video is your Strawberry Mountain misadventure. I feel that by giving an honest account of that experience you gave me a bunch of lessons I could learn from, and apply to my own life. Thanks again for all of your hard work.

  148. Congrats on 50k! Well deserved.
    First started following you from your pro’s and con’s of Security Contracting info videos and stayed ’cause of your old school punk rock intros. I’ve always loved the XM177/CAR-15’s.
    Though, I think your “Train like you Fight” Instagram post with the boom box is my favorite vid.

  149. My favorite episode you have put ourt has been the Honey Badger deep dive series. Very informative and super well produced. Thank you for the contebnt!

  150. I found you cuz of the 9-Hole Reviews guys, with the dirt squirrel video. I really enjoyed that video with the information provided about the Honny Badger. That was honestly my favorite gun for the longest time and is what got me into SBR’s. After watching that video I checked out your channel and just really enjoyed all your content.

  151. My favorite video was the recommendation of the smith “Director Elite” eye pro. I went on their website and they even have a sweet pro deal for military. Your channel and Sage Dynamics are my favorite channels on YT. Thanks man!

  152. Congrats man. You always stood out when I’d watch a TFB review and I’m glad you’re doing your own thing on your own terms. I love the fact that you do your reviews outdoors! My favorite video has got to be the contractor info review. Definitely helped me navigate away from sinking my teeth into something that. Cheers brother!

  153. Congrats on 50k Ivan! My favorite episodes (2) are the ones where you and your boys are opening their shotgun and rifle with you. I remember my first Christmas at 12 years old getting my Marlin Model 60 and how much I enjoyed that memory and being able to shoot it that day with my dad. He won’t always be around but I’ll have that moment to treasure always.

  154. Loved your video cutting the back roof off the Izuzu Trooper. My father had one of those and it was indestructible.

  155. Nicely done getting 50k subscribers! I got interested into your videos with the float tapes, love the presentation of it.

  156. Dig the big outdoor video backgrounds, all-round cool content, the Descendents-esque logo, and the Team Idaho connection is fun. (Boise here!) Congrats on the 50k.

    Thanks for giving things like the Strike Industries Universal Optics Mount a looksee. Good to see some “other” brands getting a peek as well as the expected names.

  157. Hey Ivan. I had ran into your channel a few times in the past, watching your reviews and just now a new subscriber. Congrats on your 50k! I would have to say that I really enjoyed watching one of your float tapes about that LAV-25 that basically ran you over, LoL. Great story.

  158. My favorite video was when you took the boys shooting after Christmas, because I just became a father myself and I can’t wait for it to be myself and my son. The main reason why I want to win this rifle is because I want to give it to my grandpa who worked with 7th SFG in Laos. He’s 76 now and he won’t be getting any younger and I want to give him something close to the rifle he had when he was my age.

  159. Hello,

    Actually found out about you through TFB and start combing through your gear reviews, after awhile I came across your float tape series and your short food videos. I’ve definitely grown to like your food and story videos quite a bit.

    Recently got into shooting as well so it’s definitely a nice little catalog, hah.

    Take care and have a good one.

  161. My favorite episodes to date were the review on being a contractor and the episode where you trained for defensive pistol encounter with your son (sandbag).

  162. Ive been watching for a few years now, I subbed soon after seeing a video on milling your glock slide, or the one where you rattle canned a gun. I love your tactical games videos, I look forward to your grammar nazi posts on Facebook.

  163. Came here for the hotdog hikes, stayed for everything else! Well done channel. Your demeanor makes the videos a pleasure to watch and your knowledge and experience makes them very informative. Keep up the good work!

  164. I think one of my favorite series so far is the ” Factory to Table”. Thought it was really awesome to see build the Mini Fix and visit all the other companies to make each piece for it. Then range videos were also great too.

  165. Very hard to choose a favorite video. Reviews are excellent. Like the series you did at the two gun competition.

    Always appreciate an honest review of gear and equipment.

  166. Hey Ivan,
    Im a long time viewer and recent subscriber.
    For me what makes your channel stick out is your informal style while still remaining informative and thorough. I really love your float tapes series and your coverage of your participation in competitions like the tactical games and desert brutality

  167. Ive been a subscriber for about a yr, id have to say the float tapes or gun reviews are my favorite. Keep up the great content, im here to stay

  169. Congrats on 50k! My favorite video was the ones talking about the pros & cons of security contracting. I was always curious about the reality of that line of work. I also love how you’re always outside with beautiful scenery as your background. Thanks for the awesome videos and hope your channel grows even bigger!

  170. I first came across your channel with the Crye JPC video. I was researching for reviews on that plate carrier that were not done by airsofters(no offense to airsofters). I was very intrigued in you presentation and storytelling and ended up falling down the rabbit hole with watching almost all your video catalog at that point. I ended up picking up a Crye JPC 2.0 in part due to your video and absolutely love it. You are now one of my go to reviewers to see when I am looking for new gear. Thank you for all your continued hard work and congratulations on 50K subs.

  171. Love the quality of your content! The Q deep dive is such great info for those of us who can make it to a build day.

  172. Congrats man!

    My favorite video was the one showing how to paint guns. I was super nervous the first time but followed you instructions and the results rocked!

  173. Ivan congrats on the 50k , found your channel years ago when you reviewed the CZ 527 rifle(7.62×39). To date my favorite episodes would be Side Chick 2 part series and the cameo appearance on 9-Hole Review another one of my favorite YouTube Channels. As always keep up the great work !

  175. Love your videos. I become a viewer from TFBtv and since then I’ve been watching ever since. I really like all your videos geared towards introducing your kids to shooting. It reminds me of when my father got me into hunting and guns, and now that I’m a soon to be father, I can’t wait to do some of the same.

    Keep it up, can’t wait to see you hit 100k

  176. Well done sir, and an excellent idea for giving back, and getting new friends. My fav videos are the ones about Q products. Especially assembling firearms with them. I have assembled an AR-15 (just one) and recognize the similarities and differences. It was fascinating to watch.

  177. Thanks for putting in work on youtube regardless of their policies that make getting an income from the content you provide hard. My favorite video is part 9 of the mini fix series because I ran into a similar rational dilemma when building my 308 AR pistol for hunting. It came down to size, weight, and most importantly it’s FREAKING rad. It ended up making more sense than not and your video was part of the inspiration I had in building one of my favorite rigs. Keep up the good work and you’ll always have supporter here.

  178. Ivan congratulations on hitting 50k, you deserve to have so many more subscribers that appreciate your hard work, and I know that they will come. My favorite video that you have done has been the Surefire rifle suppressor rundown that you did with a representative from Surefire. Even with Surefire’s suppressors being so popular, sometimes it can be hard to find alot of information about them, but your video did a great job of getting that information out there. To the 100k suscriber mark next!

  179. Congrats on 50k! Been watching since your appearance on TFBTv, and loved your series on the Mini Fix by Q.
    Keep up the good work and I can’t wait for you to hit the 100k mark!

  180. Congrats on the 50k brother, I know it takes a ton of hard work to produce content like you do. I found your channel on “How to paint your rifle” and I greatly enjoyed your coverage on the Tactical Games. You do some top quality gear reviews too! Keep up the great work man, Grey Death Adder out! Lololol

  181. Id say my favorite are the tactical games and dessert brutality vides. And the loadout videos after. Love the channel and keep up the great work!

  182. I am split between your Tactical Games videos and the Desert Brutality videos as my favorites. I been shooting competition for awhile but have been really interested in doing 2 Gun Action Challenge matches or the Tactical Games.

  183. Keep up the good work, I look forward to more great content. I think my favorite video so far has been listening to your grandfather tell his story. Second favorite would be even you reviewed the KTAK, this video started my subscription.

  184. Hey Ivan, I started off seeing you on TFBTV and noticed some very interesting content on your channel. Gear reviews are peak, as we all know, but what I appreciated most was the no-front, self awareness that is so lacking these days. I was 13 on 9/11 so what has really caught my personal interest recently are your Float Tapes. Y’all were before I had a chance, but I am an OIF vet (got there as fast as I could) and your comments that you served with the Generation Kill service members got me tired on to that series this year. Brought some stuff back, but it was healthy…I am a believer in facing reality. Thanks for what you do Ivan. You do more than you know. See you at 100k next year.

  186. Pretty cool was just yesterday that I watched your video on timing your AR with various buffer weights and springs. Fast forward a yr or so and your playing with stuff I can’t afford 🤣. Love the content involving the kids I have a son and daughter of young age that really enjoys the outdoors as well. Stay rad and true.

  187. Congrats on the 50k, you’ll be doing a 100k giveaway by the end of the year mark my words. Favorite vid was your “Catharsis,Divorce and the Range”, really helped motivate me to get over my own rough spots in life. Keep up the great work.

  188. Congrats! Grey Death Adder was my favorite! I also liked your old tutorial videos. Semper Fi!

  189. Hey man,

    First found you when you did the CZ 527 videos.
    Helped me decide on buying that rifle. I wish you
    nothing but further success brother.

  190. I first found your channel through your contractor series. Should you be one? Can you be one? I forget the name of those two videos, but I’ve rewatched them a couple times just because I think it’s an interesting topic. I followed your work on and off for a little while, but what made me subscribe, was your Factory to Table series. I just thought it was such an interesting way of taking a topic and dissecting it down into its most basic forms. Your best resource on your channel, might be the KBAT video. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve used your targets at the range and in the woods. It’s just so simple and convenient. Congrats on 50,000. I hope your success continues.

  191. Congrats on the 50k, dig all of your videos. The Noco boost one stands out recently because it reminded me that I needed one for my wheels. All the best.

  193. Ivan from kitbadger.com, you have a unique video style, your backdrops are breathtaking, you play ska and punk in your intros and you review cool shit, actual cool shit, not run of the mill stuff. I appreciate that and enjoy the down to earth content.

    I don’t have a particular favorite video but me personally, i really enjoyed the Factory to table series. I am a Q fan boy but the overall concept was really cool and to my knowledge hasn’t been done before. For critiquing purposes i feel the last video was a little rushed compared to the previous videos. Would have been cool to see a better hunt segment and then making a cool recipe with the meat or something but that’s being nit picky. Was a super cool series and if you can figure out a way to do something like that again with another product it would be dope.

    I also really enjoy the meals on a mountain stuff where you try new gear and show your kids how to do things and cook meals over a fire or stove. Its awesome to see a patient father figure teaching kids how to do things that most of Americans wouldn’t be able to figure out on their own lol

    Keep up the cool content! I think i found you around 2-3K subs? watched every video since. I will also make it a point to like everyone of your videos, I am bad about that for everyone i’m subbed to. Lets get you to 100K! Demo Ranch could probably help 😉

  194. I’ve been watching since the beginning and love the videos that have the Isuzu Trooper in them. My Stepmom had one when I was a kid and I always loved the boxy utilitarian look to them. And keep the retro videos coming. I’m in the process of piecing a dissipator together and love some old skool rifles.

  196. Serious question: Is it Grey Deathadder approved? that is also one of my favorite videos.

  197. My Favorite Videos were the Q factory tour. It’s always a treat to see what goes on behind the scenes at your favorite companies.

  198. Kit badger

    Thank you and congratulations on your achievements so far.
    Every time I get to see your videos it lights my day. I’m a soon to be father of two, and love firearms, hunting, fishing, and shooting the like. I have dreams of shoot matches, but some of your drills were a ton of fun. The one involving shooting from a stopped car was fun to figure out at my home range see as it is not possible to bring a car to the shooting lane but shooting around the bench was fine.

  199. You are a great inspiration to many of us, I love your videos man. One of my favorites has been the war belt video! That was so interesting and helpful. Thanks again!

  200. Congrats on 50k subscribers! It’s very well deserved and I hope to see the channel continue to grow. My top Kit Badger video is the 6 Upgrades for your Glock Under $140. I like how this channel covers both really high end stuff and lower price value options. Also I like all of the videos pertaining to Q products!

  201. I like the ramen videos with your kids. I enjoyed ramen in the field but my kid don’t like me doctoring it up. Great work

  202. Any video that has pennywise playing is my favorite. I also like the videos about doing contracting work!

  203. Congrats on 50K! Really enjoyed the mini fix build series, not a lot of content creators have a series following that so its pretty rad! Also best intro music by far!!!

  206. I have been watching the channel for a long time. My favorite series are the float tapes. I like seeing what it was like in 2001 to be in what would be OEF. Having gone for the surge when it was way more built up and see the hardships of the Marines that came before me.

    Thanks for the videos and keep them coming.

  207. Congrats on 50K!!! Love all of your videos. Best “tact guy” on the “tube” by far. Knowledgeable, concise, fun, yet relaxed approach when imparting information. Favorite videos; Surefire suppressors, NOCO battery booster, and Desert Brutality. Keep ‘em coming!🤙🏾

  209. Recently found your channel from your honey badger pistol review, really enjoying your float tapes. Started watching from the first one and very cool to see your experience and what that kind of experience may be like. Keep it up!

  211. Hi there! Congrats on the 50k!!!! Well deserved! My favorite video was actually the series you had on Suicide… struck to home as I had a close friend take his life in front of me and its stuck with me for years. Watching your video definitely helped me deal with that.

  212. CONGRATS on 50K!!!! I really enjoy the Ramen videos with your kids, I enjoy seeing youth brought up the right way. I think today’s children are being fed with video games and TV, glad to see you getting you boys outside!!!!

  213. Kit, my absolute favorite video of yours is when you made the Trash Panda silencer at Q. My gf is obsessed with racoons and I’ve been contemplating using a Trash Panda to propose to her. I mean, she would be going in my trust after all. Honestly, all your Q build series were the best. I hope you double your subs soon enough!

  214. The Q build videos are my favorite. I always liked the show “How It’s Made”. I wish more gun companies would invite someone like yourself to their facilities to show how things are put together.

    Thanks for the quality videos. Keep up the great work.

  215. Congratulations on your success! This is my favorite video because it gives me hope in such dark times as I try mastering Sheryl Crows one sheet method. I will trade you 18 mega rolls of toilet paper for this rifle? That’s 72 regular rolls or 8,712 sheet/sessions with one sheet mastery. I’ll even ship it insured. You can use it in your next video titled “Toilet Paper Giveaway” and give it away when you hit a million plus subscribers and you’ll be a YouTube’s next big star!

    You’re Welcome.

  216. My favorite video of yours is the one where you took your sons out to shoot the oldest’s new Christmas present. I like that video a lot because I believe it is extremely important to pass on our love of freedom and firearms to the next generation. I also like it because education and training are the best ways to demystify guns to everyone, but especially to kids. If they know it’s ok to talk about guns with you and that you’ll pull them out and let them hold them when they’re curious, they’ll be much less likely to go behind your back and handle a gun, possibly getting hurt in the process. And they may even learn something! Thank you for all of your hard work, and congratulations on hitting the 50K milestone!

  217. Congratulations on the 50 thousand. Love the videos with your sons, ramen chronicles and their Christmas guns. Wishing you and your family the best

  218. Hi Ivan! Your videos are great! My favorite is the Cz 527 series as well as the minifix! Thanks for all the time and effort you put into the hobby to show us all

  219. Love the channel, no gimmicks or clickbait like a lot of the others out there. Not over the top or taking itself too seriously. Just good information. Enjoyed any of Q chassis system stuff good information to see.

  220. Hey the video that brought me to your channel was the one on baofeng radios. Super helpful and I carry one now while solo hiking. I also have a 3 year old son who loves to watch the videos with your sons. He always asks where “the boys” are when I’m watching your vids. Keep up the good work.

  221. Congratulation on 50K, love your videos, my favorite is the Iliad field jacket by the Prometheus design werx, that’s the first time i heard the company, and started to buying all sort of the stuff from them, without your videos, I would never find such awesome company, thank you and keep up the good works.

    1. Congratulations on the major accomplishment and thank you for spreading the knowledge.

      I really enjoy the diversity of your videos. The gear reviews, the float tapes, and the adventures are all great.

      Again, thank you and wish you continued success.

  222. Congratulations on the 50k . Love the videos. Wishing you and your family the best. My favorite has been the war belt video!

  223. Congratulations on 50 K, The videos I liked the best were the Hi-Point, the gear tests, and the truth video about being a contractor. Thanks for a chance to win. Keep up the good work.

  224. I also first saw you on TFB TV! Generally, I really like the adventures & outdoor gear reviews. Although if I had to pick a video, I loved the desert brutality series. The mixture between guns and the outdoors is what keeps me interested in your videos. Congrats on the 50k!

  225. Congratulations Ivan! 50k is huge. My favorite video was your in-depth review of the Honey Badger that you did with TFBTV. That’s what brought me to your channel.

    It would be great if I won. If I don’t, I’ll still watch your great content. 👍🏼

  226. I just subbed on tuesday, so I guess I was just in time! I’m not sure I have a favorite video yet, but I liked your recent “Float tapes,” which means I’ll have to work through the rest of them.

  227. I think my favorite video was the one where you talk about the knife you designed. Obviously I enjoy the reviews, but it’s cool seeing your thoughts and personality come through in the development and realization of a product.

  228. Been subscribed since a friend suggested the factory to table series. Was really cool to see you do those titanium welds.

  229. I like the Float Tapes. Reminds me of stupid !@#$ I have done with my short record.

  231. Congrats on 50k!! Channel has grown since I’ve started watching about a year or more ago. Needless to say I’ve been enjoying your recents upload ok desert brutality, tactical games and the float tapes. These videos are up there in my list but the ones that I consider my fav are rifle reviews, I’ve change and set my mind towards many things because of these great, very detailed, reviews. You’ve done a great job on explaining everything to it’s fullest. Those ramen chronicles gave the channel a nice twist from all the guns videos which is why I think you should involved more culinary videos like MRE’s and stuff like that it’ll be interesting watching these. Keep up the great content!!

  232. I really love your videos where you talk about concepts and being an individual and growing as you. Your video on struggle really helped me with teaching people things in my life and slowing them to learn for themselves rather than being shown everything. I love your channel and content keep up the great work, hope more great things come your way!

  233. Hey Ivan,

    I hope I spelled your name right. I just wanted to let you know that I have been watching your vids and enjoying your content for some time now. The vid that started me to your channel is why you train or a vid related to training. The reason for that is it reminded me and made me realize you’re just another person like me.

    It showed people and myself that you’re just a regular dude and doing what you can like me. It reminded of trying to stay up on training and testing the kit people buy. That is to get info and product info out to the people. At least, that’s I how I took it. You’re one of the few tubers I look forward to seeing vids from.

    Keep putting out the good content, look forward to seeing more vids, and stay safe.

    Rick

  234. Your video on finding a machinist for mounting a red dot was when I subscribed. I honestly subscribed because you speak the truth. Straight facts and no feelings. I love it. I hate watching reviews when they do not justify their subjective opinions. You tell it like it is. It’s awesome. Also your videos with your kids inspire me to do the same with my children. Thank you.

  235. Congratulations on the 50k, definitely well deserved! Thank you for the information you put out and training tips you’ve a lot of topics and tips you’ve shown are things I implement in my training. My favorite video has been about marking your mags. It was a simple solution to a frequent problem I was running into with the beat up mags I have. Thank you again!

  236. Hey Ivan,
    Hands down, my favorite video of yours is entitled ‘Catharsis, Divorce, and the Range.” More than anything, that video made me empathize with what you were going through at the time, and I still go back to watch it every once in a while. There’s something special about it, can’t express how much I relate. Sometimes, the only thing you need is to be alone, doing something you love. No stress, no worries when it’s just you and the gun. Congrats on 50k, you deserve it brother. 100k will be here before you know it.

  237. Ivan!

    Congrats on 50K! I enjoy watching your videos to help pass the time at my location. There is a tie between my two favorite vids. I enjoyed the trip you took to NH to trick out the .700 with the Q dude. My first rifle was a Model 700 and I haven’t touched in over 8 years. Now I can’t wait to get back CONUS to make it a coyote cannon. Second, I remember your stories from Osan about your deployment to Afghanistan and never forgot them. I loved now putting a visual to the stories from almost 15 years ago and reliving all the SCMR tomfoolery.

    Again, congrats on 50k!

  238. Congrats on the 50K subs! I only discovered your channel about a year ago thanks to seeing you on TFB tv. Binge watched most of it. I thought your channel was highly underrated and I’m glad to see it reach a new milestone. Your gear reviews are comprehensive and well thought out and I really enjoyed that gunsmithing video with the shortened Ruger American – that was rad. Looking forward to seeing what you wear to the next tactical games. Thanks for what you do and thanks for always filming outside, it makes for a super comfy video and inspires me to go hike.

  239. I am submitting my entry to win the coveted CORONARIFLE. I’ve been watching for about a year and a half now but still my favorite video(s) of yours are easily the float tapes, highly entertaining and inspired me to join the military. Cheers!

  240. The video that stood out to me most is your most recent desert brutality series. Seeing someone perform so well entirely based on skill, without using a “gucci” or “tacticool” rifle definitely inspired me to train harder.

  241. My Favorite video/videos would be a tie between your liberty mystic review and your CZ rifle series as a whole. They are my favorite because I could relate to having issues with a rifle and trying to track down where it’s coming from.

  242. My favorite video is still the Surefire DG switch hack. I enjoy your other videos, however it is rare that content creators take the time to pass on simple tricks such as that hack. It really helped me and my wallet out. Looking forward to the next one!

  243. I loved you exposing how Howa (and others) don’t finish their rifles and expect the new owner to waste ammo breaking in the barrel before it becomes accurate.

  244. My favorite videos and how I found the channel was the security contractor vids and I had just watched the 13 hours Benghazi movie and was really interested in the subject and I subbed that day

  245. Watched your desert brutality 2020 videos and subbed immediately. So far those are my favorites as it’s a different look from what Ian and Karl bring to the table. Appreciate what you’re doing, keep it up!

  246. I enjoyed the videos on the Q Honey Badger the deep dive and the ones where you go make the guns and slings, mounts ect

  247. Congratulations brother!

    My favorite remains your Panamint City series. You’ve really been a great role model for the type of dad I hope to be.

    Doesn’t seem like long ago, we were congratulating you on 25k… so here’s to the next 50k. Nobody deserves it more than you.

  248. Congratulations on 50k!! My favorite video is of your q suppressors. I enjoy your informative video reviews. Thank you and keep up the grest work!!

  249. Congrats on 50k! I came across your pistol painting video and went down the rabbit hole. I love all your videos keep up the good work man!

  250. The pine tea video comes to mind. It was very helpful of what pine trees make the best tea.

  252. The mini-fix video that was filmed in the middle of winter was amazing. Honestly, I would watch you’re videos just for the background scenery. Hands down one of my favorite parts of your channel. I also think its great that you involve your family in the project and keep them enthusiastic while still being safe. Keep up the great work

  253. I’ve been subd a few years. I enjoy your mix of reviews, bushcraft, training etc. Dig that your a local guy rep’n the PNW. You’re just down the road. I’m a fan boi..

    My favorite vid was the one you did in regards to training around a vehicle with your children. I have three boys 2, 6, 9, and that is literally the ONLY vid online that takes into consideration, having and protecting small children in a fire fight. I thought it was really fantastic.

  254. Congrats on the milestone. For me to pick a favorite vid of yours is easy, it’s the one that I found your channel from = pros & cons of security contracting. I went on to watch many of your vids the next day after watching another from you on the topic. I mostly appreciate your no BS style.

  255. Grey Death Adder definitely one of my favorites. Thank god for REAL men Adder killing them ass-terrorists so we can sleep peacefully with out locking our bedroom doors!

  256. The video with the kids, Its cool to see into a persons personal life and know they may be on The other side of the world but they are a lit like you

  257. The video with the kids, Its cool to see into a persons personal life and know they may be on The other side of the world but they are a lit like you

  258. The video that sticks out in my memory the most is when you wore the tracksuit to the tactical games!

    Cheers on 50k

  259. I honestly can’t remember the first video that I liked, but I do remember the set of videos that convinced me to subscribe: Uncanna part 3, Factory to Table part 2, and Ramen Chronicles part 4. Here’s to 100k!

  260. My favorite video of yours is the tactical games with the warehouse shoot house.
    The ramen episodes, building rifles, and content with your kids is freaking awesome too.
    Love the brownells retro, thanks!

  261. Congrats on 50k man! Your channel is criminally underrated but with time that will change. I think the first video I saw a few years back was your pistol painting video. I don’t know that it’s actually my favorite but the mag marking video was great. It introduced me to something I wasn’t aware of and had just enough information to be complete without being excessive.

  262. My favorite video? The next one! 🙂

    Happy 50k and thanks for taking us along.

    Joe G
    Kansas City, MO

    P.S. Can lightning strike twice?

  263. Congratulations on the Big 50k, Ivan!
    I always enjoy your content, and keep thinking back to the mental health pieces that you did.
    Look forward to the next 50k!

  264. Congrats on 50k kit badger, I first found your channel with the pros and cons of security contracting as that line of work had been crossing my mind at the time.

  265. Favorite recent video was the Tactical Games review video where you critiqued the season and the stages. I help at a local shooting range where we are having a T-class match this May. While different than the Tactical Games I hope to make our event more real world rather then just the same old farmer carries and rope climbs that you seemed to view as repetitive and unimaginative. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your perspective and knowledge with all of us!!!

  266. Love the content. Been here since the beginning. The Factory to Table series really stood out. The behind the scenes content is always very interesting. Here’s to another 50k and beyond! Thanks!

  267. I haven’t been here forever, so i’m sorry if I don’t know all the memes. That said I was introduced to this channel from 9 hole for the dirt squirrel, after watching your honey badger series I was hooked, honestly though I found the hard honesty of the contracting videos to be my favorite.
    Thanks!

  268. Congrats on 50k! Most memorable videos are the build days at Q headquarters. Thanks for the entertainment and giveaway!

  269. Congratulations! I’ve been following you since I found your first content on the Q production products. You were the only one covering them in any detail at that point. However, my favorite video series is your mountain adventure stuff with Bill. It just reminds me how badly I need to leave NOVA and get out to Idaho.

  270. Congratulations on the 50k. My son I love your content. He particularly liked the video of the rabbit hunt. He has been bugging me for weeks to go get his own. Please keep the videos coming. We look forward to it. Thank you.

  271. Been watching since I was over at Chad’s house checking out your knife before he sent it out. Bennefits of being his neighbor. Loved the mini fix serries.

  272. Thank you for the content you create. I’ve used your reviews numerous times and the Float Tapes give me insight to the part of Marine life I missed after my medical in 2002-03.

  273. All great content, I especially enjoyed the Factory to Table Fix by Q series, very cool rig you built! Also enjoyed the zoot suit in Desert Brutality! And very good well articulated info in Pros and Cons of Security Contracting as with all your content. Thank You!!!

  275. Started watching your channel when I was researching 2 gun for the first time; and found your first tactical games video from 2018. What sold me was the NOFX intro on a gun channel. Ever since then your gun course and classes reviews have been very helpful in financial decision making for me as a semi-new shooter looking for legitimate help. Also, all your hiking expeditions have convinced me and my girlfriend to start back up more seriously again.
    Hope to see the channel continue to grow in the future!

  276. I’ve been subscribed for a while, the first video that I ever watched was about painting your glock. My favorite video recently was probably either your desert brutality video or your high point review. Thanks for the cool content, keep up the good work, and thanks for the giveaway!

  277. Started watching your channel about a year ago when I stumbled upon your strawberry mountain videos! By far some of the coolest looking and breathtaking work you’ve put out there! It’s inspired me to get out in the deep woods and explode what nature has to offer. Keep up the good work!

  278. Congrats Ivan! My favorite videos are your hiking adventures and teaching your sons to shoot/hunt and be responsible. Also liked the Q build videos.

  279. I really enjoyed your early videos with your CZ527 carbine. You never quite got it to do what you wanted, but it was honest and I decided to get one for myself anyway. It isn’t a tackdriver but it really is my favorite little brush gun. I’ll be going after white tail deer with it this fall.

  280. Congrats man on 50k. No matter what you are doing its impressive to realize you could fill a stadium with people who find your content interesting.

    I started watching with all the Q builds, and those where extremely interesting. I stayed for the adventure and gear updates.You do those better than most.

    Thanks,

  282. Congrats on 50K! My favorite video is your Savage rifle review about long range on a budget. I also enjoy your “no BS” talks about contracting and security work. My least favorite is your video about the Baofeng radio just because I feel like it’s important to get your license and practice with it so you can actually reach someone in an emergency if need be. It’s not always that easy to make radio contact with someone, especially in the backcountry. A more reliable way would be a PLB or satellite phone. Anyway, keep up the good work. I also like the Tactical Games videos.

  283. I actually came across your channel looking for isuzu trooper videos lol. I have a couple trooper and am also an idahoan so had to subscribe because I also love guns.

  284. Hey dude! I’m joe sword I think one of my memorable videos is the one of you shooting your dissipator and changing out the middle brakes I don’t know why exactly it’s so memorable but I was really into dissipators at the time and that came up when I was looking at them. Keep up the great videos!

  285. You’ve come along way and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the future. Next goal 100k Subscribers! Some thing I’d like to see more of is the running and gunning. Tactical Games was a great series because not only do you get to test your weapon’s setup, gear, and even your mind but you walk away with knowledge. What went right, what went wrong? What can be improved? What changes will I make in the future? That is the information people are looking for because albeit we all fall short sometimes, no one wants to fail and by taking in the wisdom of others who have experienced it we can better prepare ourselves so that we’re that much closer to success when it is our turn. Keep up the great videos and I look forward to more content in the future.

    – Johnny

  286. Congrats on 50K! I really enjoy the mix of firearms, training, bushcraft, and life experience content you provide. My favorite series of videos are your Strawberry Mountain adventures, I appreciate that it doesn’t always go as planned but there are always lessons to be learned. Take care! This is a well-deserved mileston!

  287. Ivan, my name is Steve and I started watching your videos back when you were testing out your CZ 527. I actually bought one myself pretty much on your review, so there you go devil you have been a positive influence on folks. Hold those boys up high every chance you get they’ll get big on you. By the way I met you when you were at the run and gun NC. Good luck to you and hope this YouTube thing blows up. Many thanks, Steve

  289. Good to see more people are finding your channel! I watched like 20+ videos in a row the day I found it. Subscribed instantly because you have the best taste in intro/outro music. I also really dig your coverage of outdoor gear/adventures. Awesome addition, as opposed to straight “GunTube” channels. And especially cool to me, because your a fellow Rocky Mountain resident. My favorite video(s) were the ones from a few years ago about painting firearms. Your “Whatever, it’s good” attitude got me to quit overthinking it and I painted my two CZs and my AR10 pretty much exactly how you did, camo netting and all. Came out excellent and I’m very happy with it

  290. Hey man, I know you’re thanking us, but honestly, we should be thanking you. You’re the one putting all of that great content out, and the quality behind it all really shows that you actually care about the stuff you put out, which really means a lot for a simple viewer like myself.

    A video that stood out to me has to be the one titled ‘The Honey Badger by Q : Behind the Scenes Assembly’. You guys clearly had a lot of fun making that video, and I had a lot of fun watching it because of the humor, so to me, that one is memorable.

    Congratulations on the 50,000 subscribers on YouTube, and I hope to see the 100,000 subscriber video soon.

  291. My favoite video of yours is pistol painting it really shows you can make a good looking product at the end of the day with not allot of money.

  292. I have really enjoyed your coverage of Desert Brutality recently. I was originally brought to your channel and still enjoy watching al the Q reviews.

  293. Congrats on the achievement!!! Been watching your videos for a while your float tapes are prolly the best videos

  294. It’s not my favorite video. But it’s up there. Your original LEMS series. Because that’s when WE JUST BECAME BEST FRIENDS – YEP! Do you wanna go do karate in the garage?! YEP!

  295. Congrats on the 50k Ivan. Been watching for a little over a year. Love the content. Favorite vid for me is EASY, honeybadger by Q Deep Dive Series! Feeling lucky

  296. I enjoy your float tape series. You put a lot of work into your content and it shows. Keep up the hard work.
    Zach

    1. Found your change about a year and a half ago. Love your content, float tape is great. Reminds me of my time in the corps.

  297. I liked when you told us about how you almost got crushed by a Bradley. I had a similar situation when we did a food walk down and had a T45 do a low approach that was a bit to low

  298. Congrats on 50K! I really enjoy your content. Your demeanor is always cool, you don’t have a big head, and you own it when you make a mistake. Proud to be a Patreon Supporter. My favorite vids, are your visits with Q, your Tactical games content, and your Shooter’s Symposium/training videos. Keep up the awesome work.

  299. Thanks for all the very good information you post on YouTube. I’m new to your channel and going through your postings. So far, one of the most impacting, is your “I Only Train With Ninjas” video. It may seem obvious, but I’ve been overlooking opportunities due to assuming those associated with an abrasive “ninja” are useless. Nothing could be more untrue. Again — thanks.

    Also very much enjoyed the match where you competed in a business suit. Can’t find it again so I don’t know the title. I looked like a lot of fun and gave a whole new meaning to the term “tacticool”. Much enjoyed.

    Please consider me for the giveaway — of course.

  300. Congrats on 50k! Enjoyed watching your channel grow. My favorite videos were you going hiking and shooting with your sons, including all the typical kid stuff and how you deal with it as a dad with maturity and love, while bringing home the intended teaching point. Really touched my heart bro, no homo.

  301. I’d say the range day with Caleb is probably my favorite, but maybe I’m a little biased. I love your factory to table series. Seeing a rifle, sling, or suppressor cover come together is awesome. It’s great to learn from a hands on perspective. I watched your fix bolt video about 20 times in anticipation of SBRing my miniFIX lol

  302. can’t say that there was any one favorite video of yours that I have, but I appreciate your perspective, and the wide breadth of material that you cover – you’re either providing a unique take on a product that I have already heard about but am seeking more information on, or are talking about a new product that I haven’t heard about before.

  303. I’m fairly new to the channel. I’ve really been enjoying watching your tactical games content. The footage of the games as well as the load out breakdowns are very helpful because I want to compete be day. Maybe I’ll use this rifle if I win.

  304. Congrats! Your videos are great, I spend a lot of time deployed and they always entertain me. I am an Army GB, so a lot of your thoughts and views align with mine. Good stuff, very high quality. My favorite series was about the Q fix…what an interesting platform. You explained everything one needs to know about the platform.

  305. I am a recent subscriber. I found you through people posting about you competing at desert brutality 2020 on IG. my favorite videos are any of your competition overview like the tactical games. I forget which state it was when you were using the the retro m16, was probably my favorite.

  306. I love your channel. I’ve been subscribed for a while and did patreon until I had to pair down for graduate school. The videos in the honey badger deep dive and the adventures with your sons were some of my favorites. As an engineer, I love to see how things are built and the thought that goes on behind them. My dad took me and my brothers out hiking and shooting and I want to do the same if I have kids one day. I also laughed hard at the Greatest Comment in the History of the Internet. That was a perfect response. Keep up the great content. Go to Cola Warrior at some point since you are trying shooting / endurance events.

  307. I am an Eagle Scout and tbh though I like much of your content, my favorite is your “To build a Fire” set. I really hope that is a Jack London reference. Thanks for the content man.

  309. The Ramen Series was awesome! Congrats on 50K! I honestly think your channel is one of the most underrated in the gun youtube space!

  310. I really enjoy your videos of two gun matches. Between the tactical games and dessert Brutality were my favorite.

  311. Congratulations! My favorite episodes are How to get into contracting in about contracting and I also love the float tapes

  312. Congratulations! My favorite episodes are How to get into contracting in about contracting and I also love the float tapes.
    Semper Fi

  313. Congrats dude! Thanks fort all the content and info over the years.

    So far my favourite video would be a toss up between when you reviewed that “2 shotgun/rifle” metal hard case, the Lunar Concepts custom bandolier, or – most recently, and very helpfully, the drawing from concealment in a car.

    As a bigger dude, I’ve been unholstering and putting it in the cupholders or passenger seat, which isn’t great. I’ve done the wiggle to unholster it and felt like it was not great(I carry strongside, haven’t lost enough weight to go appendix yet).

    At any rate, it was helpful and informative. I appreciate it.

    Stay safe.

    Very Respectfully,
    Patrick

  315. I can’t nail down one favorite video and here is why. You *really* take it outside. From reviewing stoves to fire starters, you are out doors. In the fire starter videos you’re taking it to near Marine Mountain Warfare Training level, and that (should) get people to think. What is it like to have to make a fire when you’re cold, wet, and now your life depends on what you carry in your kit.

    Congratulations on 50k subscribers, stay save. ~B

  316. Congrats my man! Big fan of the fear review and was just enjoying the strawberry mountain vids.

  317. I don’t have A favorite video, but a series of videos, the ones where you’ve been assembling your own stuff at Q, but in general your Q videos, really enjoyed the Rem700 Sidechick video though.

    Congrats on 50k, surprised it’s not more though.

  318. Congratulations man! I have been with you since the beginning and have enjoyed it all sir! I think my favorites are either the tactical games series or the hiking and overnight stuff! It is all awesome though. Thanks for the content!
    Nick

  319. The first video I remember watching was for some sling. I remember being impressed with the knowledge shared and humbleness that was articulated.

  320. Pros and Cons of Security Contracting, the first one of your videos I found. I was just on a kick of learning about security contracting and your video was very informative. I also appreciated your honesty about the hardship it was on your relationship. It is cool to see your channel growing. Keep up the good work!

  321. First off, I’d like to say I’m a super new fan. Honestly until recently I haven’t watched a whole lot of youtube unless it was a hunting video, recipe instructions or a how-to fix my gen3 4runner breakdown. However, I moved to a small farm in Minnesota and now cable, video games, netflix and all the other media distractions are less available. I find turning to free media more often, watching a ton more stuff on my phone and computer via hotspot. Though I’ve followed you on Instagram for a long while now, I got into your youtube channel because of the rip it video where you explained your orgins of the military and how you won that offroad race. You went on to say how you didnt let things get in your way and dont let people tell you that you cant do what you really want to do. It motivated me to do something greater with my life. As a fellow veteran, I’ve had a hard time finding my place in this world since separating. I want to do something more creative and profound with my existence outside of the normal fucking 9-5… like you. Thanks for the motivation, keep up the good work and fuck all the haters.

  322. Congrats on 50k. I really liked your video series with Q where you built the Honey Badger. Very cool rifle and lots of good information to apply to my own builds.

  323. Just getting into shooting as a hobby. Congrats on the 50k subscribers!
    I dig all the Pennywise, Rancid, and Bad Religion intro and outro music. It’s nice to see a punk rocker into firearms. The video on TFB tv with the Savage 110 made me go get one in the scout configuration. Thanks for the info.

    Peace

  324. Congrats on 50k! My favorite video was your recap of desert brutality, your gear and thoughts on the stages. I went to DB2020 as well and we spoke so I was a little biased for that video. Thanks for all quality content!

  325. Congrats on the 50k man. My favorite single video ( within the last year) would be the KR-9 & Liberty Mystic X video. But if I was able to choose a video series. Hands down it would be the Factory To Table. I know you’ll keep up the good work.

  326. Congrats KB, a well deserved achievement! My favorite is your Factory to Table Series, I’ve always been fascinated in the manufacturing processes of guns/gear companies, superb idea and execution. I also enjoyed your Christmas special showing your boys shooting their new firearms. It’s Very cool sharing with us those special moments! 👍🏻😎🙏🏼

  327. Congratulations Ivan!

    You deserve all of the success in the world. I really love the recent video where you gave your boys their rifles for Christmas.

    Best of luck in the future!

  328. 50 k giveaway
    My favorite videos are the tactical games videos. They helped me make my decision to sign up.

  329. My favorite video was actually the one that’s helped me most. Your review of your Crye JPC came at an amazing time in my life. I was just about to deploy and knew I did not want to use the issued flak that the Marine Corps gave us. Your review was the catalyst for me to purchase my own JPC and absolutely love it on my deployment. Cannot thank you enough. Truly.
    Thank you again Ivan, and congratulations on the 50k subscribers. It is extremely well deserved.

  330. My favorites are your strawberry mountain adventures/misadventures. Beautiful scenery and always great lessons learned.

  331. My favorite video was actually The Fix Deep Dive!!! You are doing a great job keep it up!

  332. Ivan,

    Congrats on 50K! You deserve every bit of those views, greta content.

    My favorite videos of yours have been your multiple series with Q; the level of detail y’all go into is extraordinary and I love it.

    I will say the video that I’m most interested in is the Gen-12 first look video, because I’d love to see a legit review of the system.

  333. Loved the match videos from Desert Brutality – especially your HEAT getup.

    Also dig your series inside the production of various components.

  334. Congrats Ivan on getting to 50K I found your channel by looking up a review on the Blue Force Gear Ten Speed pouches but my favorite video is probably when your son reviewed the HoneyBadger by Q

  335. Honestly I loved the Ramen Chronicles. All the videos of adventures with your kids. That’s where it’s at for the dads out there trying to be the best. Keep it up.

  336. Congratulations on 50k!! I started following your channel on the recommendation TGC news (I believe). Been a big fan every since. My favorite video was your review/ discussion why you prefer the Crye JPC plate carrier. That video was the deciding factor for me to pull the trigger on ordering one. Thank you! Keep up the good work!

  337. I started watching for the Q videos, but I stayed for the rock intros. Great fucking channel. No bullshit and super down to earth.

  338. My brother recommended a channel with a practical approach to guns, gear and self improvement. I’ve gotten the most out of the tactical games videos with the message to get out there, try something new, and don’t take yourself too serious. Thanks for the content.

  339. I have been watching your videos for almost a year now. I have to say I really enjoyed the factory to table series.

  340. Really enjoy all your perspective and reviews. Most of all I enjoyed the video of you and your son going out to shoot with his Xmas rifle. My son is now 18 and it reminded me of the special Father/Son time we had in going to shoot for the first time. Whether it’s handling a plumbing issue or minor car repair, going shooting is like a right of passage.

  341. Thank you for all the great content, I haven’t been subscribed the longest. But I will say it’s been a good time catching up on previous content. One of the videos I like quite a lot is your sugar weasel review. I was since able to save the money and buy one, I plan to use the saved money to get a surpressor.

  342. I’ve been watching for about 2 1/2 years and my favorite videos are the Strawberry Mountain adventures because it speaks to the realities I have experienced.
    Most adventures never go as planned and being able to make the best out of it, and still have a good time is important.
    Learning from my mistakes and dealing with unexpected obstacles have helped me immensely in regular day to day life.
    Thanks for sharing with us Ivan!

  343. One of my favourite videos was the first video I saw from you which was, “Pros and Cons of security contracting.” I like the no nonsense approach that feels like you’re my older brother just giving me the real. The fire crackling is soothing as well. Congrats on the 50k and cheers to another 50k in the near future.

  344. Your gear reviews and adventures are a great “escape” for me from the bowels of urban decay. It might sound cheesy, but your content is truly inspiring, especially the Float Tapes. Even though I chose public service over the military route after September 11, 2001, I can really relate to what you have documented there. Your video content is great, but I really love the scenery where you film. It’s a breath of fresh air. You’ve given me some cool gear to consider for my kit, and ideas for memorable trips with the family. I appreciate the work that you’re doing and look forward to what’s next in the queue. Stay safe out there!

  345. Love your channel, keep up the good work! My favorite videos of yours are the hiking/camping vids, like the strawberry mountain series. I enjoy the little gear reviews and all the scenic views in them.

  346. Ivan!
    Congrats on 50K subscribers! Outstanding!
    I don’t know that I can name a favorite video, but I certainly love the ones that include your boys. Jatta’s first rabbit hunt, maybe? Ray Loyd’s videos are also pretty awesome. I think the funniest one might be when you roasted Grey Death Adder, LOL! I also love that you don’t just cover firearms, but wilderness survival, camping, Tactical Games, etc., it’s all great stuff, sir! So, thank YOU, and keep it going!

  347. I honestly really enjoyed your video on how to paint your rifle since that’s something I am planning on doing soon with my first AR. I think that’s also the first video I found from your channel, and I’ve been hooked ever since. Love your content man! Keep it up!

  348. KB,

    Thank you so much for the time you spend reviewing and demoing gear. My favorite video of yours is of the CZ527 project. I had recently purchased one for myself and it was exciting to see your take on the rifle and suppressor experimentation. Good luck on the rest of your journey!

  349. Congrats on the 50k my favorite videos are the Q product reviews and especially the squad goals video with your boys. Another favorite is when you guys were shooting the erector. I like to shooting with my son so I can relate. Keep up the great work and looking forward to more awesome content from you in the future.

  350. Congratulations KB!

    I have 2 favorites. Your Float Tapes series and Your “honesty/free stuff” video. I appreciate the unfiltered look into military life and being up front about how you get products for review is a responsible thing that every YTuber should be doing.

    Good luck on getting 100K!

  351. My favorite videos have been the 2019 FL Tactical Games where you competed in your traditional garments of your people (complete with the mustache). Your original TG videos are what drew me in. Still hoping to compete in a year or two.

  352. The Grey Death Adder vid, was good. But I love to see your boy. My Son is 16 and he doesn’t like the same thinks I do. So enjoy them Brother.

  353. Ivan, first of all thank you for your service to this nation. I am a relatively recent subscriber but definitely enjoy your content. We have talked here and there and though you must be busy with work and your boys, you’ve always responded to me. Hope to meet and shoot with you someday. On your video series and reviews on quick reliable ways to start a fire, I picked up 2 Exotac waterproof lighters. I also read To Build a Fire by Jack London. 50K subs is no small feat, and I’m sure there are a lot of people who talk smack, seems you handle that well. Keep the content coming man.

  354. I’ve particularly enjoyed the videos of competitions such as all of the Tactical Games events and Desert Brutality. It’s inspired me and a couple of friends to actually go out and do more than just put holes in paper when we go out to shoot. It’s been a challenge but we are loving it. They’ve postponed the local Tactical Games skirmish for the time being but we’re still shooting and training to be ready.

  355. So, off the bad.. love all the intro and fade out music. Really feels like there is someone out there who is a kindred spirit. That being said my favorite video/s would have to be the whole “to build a fire” series. It takes a lot of balls to dive into the water like that and demo how difficult it really is to do these things.

    The bad news. . I live in MA so it would be a pain in the ass for me to win (not saying I couldn’t find a way). .. So if I get drawn just give me the sad trombone noise and pick another person

  356. First found you from your video on contracting. Loved the choice of scenery, clear and concise information, and overall delivery. Keep on making quality content, love what you’re doing.

  357. I enjoyed the rifle and pistol painting videos inspired me to do it myself and I like he videos on the Q fix

  358. I found you through the desert brutality 2020, and have now watched alot of your vids and now you make my up the 5th slot of my 5 dollar a month patreon content package.

  359. Congrats! I know there’s more milestones to hit. Favorite video would be when you woke me up and crushed the little hope i had to be a contractor. “Security contracting. I’m fairly still new to your channel.

  361. The first Kit Badger video I saw was for the Sugar Weasel by Q. At once I found your Instagram account AND the company Q. Needless to say, it was a good day. I’ve been following both closely ever since.

  362. My favorite videos are what it’s like to be a contractor videos. Being a former contractor myself, it’s good to see someone telling the truth about what it’s like. Good work brotha.

  363. Hey, My name is Schuyler Ahmann, I think I’ve been subscribed since like 8000 subs. I really appreciate your content as it focuses on the actual information you need on an item, or in the case of something like the strawberry mountain stuff, good storytelling. My favorite videos to watch of yours are the breakdowns of the tactical games. I have no way to participate in them at this point, but it is something that I’d really like to do in the near future.

  364. Fav video? The Float Tape series. Very interesting to watch the evolution from peacetime to 9/11. And relates how mundane and boring life on board can be.

  365. Fav video is the CZ 527 Carbine Range Report Pt:4 Suppressed…..always wanted to try a 7.62×39 bolt gun out myself and would love to see a follow up to this video with some of the new subsonic 7.62×39 ammo that has hit the market

  366. My favorite videos of yours are the ones about spray painting your rifle. They really inspired me to try it on mine, and it ended up looking AMAZING! Thanks!

  367. Congratulations Ivan!!!

    I’m a Q guy and love any review you do on their stuff. I must say Strawberry Mountain vids are a close second.

  370. I really enjoyed the video showing how the cover for the Q silencer was made. Nothing like made in America!

  371. The float tapes series is pretty great. Tells a story us civilians rarely get to see without Hollywood spinning it.

  372. I found your channel for some random outdoor gear (a hat I think) but the video right after that was of Desert Brutality which was really cool. Personally though I enjoyed the reflective nature of the Float Tapes series. Awesome content sir!

  373. Congrats on 50k Ivan!

    I love your Q-series videos. Seeing the whole process of being made and then put to use was fantastic!

  374. This 50K giveaway rifle video is actually my favorite one. You’ve done a lot of great informative vids that I really enjoy but this video shows how much you appreciate your viewers and I respect that. Nice work!

  375. I have to say the videos I enjoy the most were the ones you did with your sons the noodles. Idk it just shows how much you love being with your boys. And that reminded me of being with my father when I was a youngster. Just brought back great memories of my dad thanks for that kit badger. But a close second place video that I have to say I truly enjoyed watching was the CZ 527 shorty build you were doing. That’s how I found your channel to begin with. I wanted a bolt gun in 223/556 and even though yours was in 7.62×39. Your videos about that rig really opened my mind about that rig and the possibility. As far as the your channel Kit badger I just enjoy watching it you seem like a really sincere person that is truly trying to open peoples minds to going outdoors and enjoying your right to own firearms. Don’t change a thing your channel is one of my favorites.

  376. Your videos are such high quality and so underrated it should be a crime !! Awesome videos! Congrats on 50k heres to 50k more!!

  377. Congrats on 50k! I loved the Factory To Table videos, but my favorite has to be the CZ 527 7.62×39 video. I have the same rifle and they are just so much fun. Keep up the great content!

  378. Congrats on 50K. Favorite vid = Savage Tactical in 6.5 CR (bought one); appreciated the “common man” review. Semper Fi!

  379. Congratulations on 50k subs!
    While I liked some of your vids more I have a special place in my heart for all the rifle painting vids – they are what gave me the courage to start painting my own and stop worrying about it.

  380. Thanks for posting awesome reviews from an actual shooter’s perspective. As someone who also has young kids, I definitely dig the videos of making food while camping with your kids.

  381. Congrats on 50k!

    My favorite video is the Battle Belt video because I used the info to build mine.

  382. By far my favorite video has been the Q fix bolt disassembly video. When I got my fix rifle, their was very little info about maintenance on them. I was one of the first to have one in the public domain with serial number < 20 and didn’t know how to clean/lubricate the bolt. Thanks to your video I can do it without even thinking. I’ve been a subscriber ever since and enjoy all the content you put out!

  383. I found your content through Desert Brutality 2020, but what won my subscription was your thoughtful take on Security Contracting. I look forward to more content from you.
    Congratulations on 50K!!

  384. Thank you for your hard work. My favorite video series has been the Dessert Brutality 2020 and second would be Factory to table.

  385. Ivan, congrats! I think my favorite post was the one where you introduced the “Gray Death Ader”. Some people are just straight up crazy. Thanks for always replying to my emails and answering my questions. Also thanks for laughing at the Thanksgiving pic I sent with that huge bowl of mashed potatoes. Keep on pumping out great content.

  386. Been watching for years, thought I was subscribed but I guess I was not ( I fixed that), I really liked the Q cherry bomb/bottle rocket videos they were super informative when I was looking for new attachment device for my turbo k.

  387. Frickin sweet gun. This is my favorite video so far because it informed me that you had a website. I didnt even know that!

  388. I really liked your Youtube posts on the 300black Q pistol. It’s what I would imagine a “Go-do-anything” bolt gun would be.

  389. Congrats on 50k! You deserve it! I loved your strawberry mountain videos, also the cbd videos. I love that your light hearted but honest and real. Keep it up man!

  390. I really liked the factory to table series. Especially the finale. It’s not easy admitting defeat, especially like that.

  391. Ivan. I always appreciate your videos. I especially liked the recent desert brutality videos and you wearing your suit throughout. Thank you or your content and positive message.

  392. Love the videos! You got me watching with your 8.6 Cm video. Cool little round I would love to see more videos on

  393. I came across your website first. Looking for a target for a drill I was developing for my agency’s range. I found the perfect target in your Head/torso. Been a subscriber ever since. Great stuff. Thanks!

    1. I’ve been following you for quite awhile. I really enjoy your tactical games load out videos. I shoot uspsa and 3 gun and the tactical games are definitely on my radar.

  394. Hey man, Congratulations on hitting 50k! A more recent video that’s my favorite right now is your “6 Upgrades for your Glock – Under $140” video, although I have always appreciated to Pros and Cons to Private Contracting video (That was the video that got me started with your channel).

  395. I like watching your competition videos. I watch a bunch of them and it’s fun to watch your growth over the years as a shooter.

  396. My favorite videos are your tactical games videos though. You’ve made me realize that I want to get into a 2 gun competition. Its been great seeing you get shout outs from TGC and TFB. Here’s to 50k subscribers and I’m sure you’ll get 50k more.

  397. Really enjoy your channel. I really liked your tactical games videos where you showed the different courses and talked about your kit. It gave me some ideas as I have a goal of competing in my first tactical games before the end of the year.

  399. Congrats!!!
    I Liked the Q series of videos, factory to table and the tactical games but most of all the training situation with family in the vehicle these made me consider how to move when I have my family with me.
    keep up the great content.

  400. I’ve been watching you for a bit but I’d have to say my favorite video is the how to paint a rifle video. I watched it when I had gotten my first AR and wanted to make it my own and that video was very straight forward and helpful.

  401. Congratulations on the 50k subs. I believe my favorite videos were of the Ramon Chronicles. Mostly because it was enjoyable seeing a good dad take his kids out and teach them so good life skills.

  402. Congrats! I found you by the Q honey badger videos from so long ago. I must say the tactical games/load out videos are my favorite along with your adventure videos. You’re like nutnfancy but with out all the bs and of course you have punk rock music!

  403. Congrats on 50k subs, next 50k will come sooner than you think. My personal favorite video was the painting your own rifle. It was super informative and took some of the stress out of doing it myself.

  404. Been watching you for about a year now. The Surefire 556 suppressor rundown video is the first one I remember watching. Great information.

  405. Started watching your videos because of the tactical games. My goal was to try the tactical games this year. But that may not be possible for me now as I have a fairly painful back injury. But I do like watching all of your videos.

  406. I loved your desert brutality series! Then series where you built your own hunting “rifle,” that was incredible. I know we weren’t supposed to say what we’d do with it, but I’d give this rifle to a military friend that can’t afford a firearm right now during all of this insanity.

  407. Congrats on your 50K!! Loved the range day with caleb like a year ago 🙂 keep up the good work, and hopefully I have a chance at the slick rifle ya got there

  408. Love the content man! My favroite vid has to be the one about going on to contracting as you sit by a fire with a cool back round of the forest! Keep up the good work work.

  409. The videos that stands out is one you did talking about contractor work. The other is a series where you took an M1 Carbine and a Colt .45 to a competition.

  410. I love what you do man – I love the dry humor, professionalism and super down to earth reviews you give and the content you pump out on Youtube! My favorite video you’ve done so far is the one from a couple years ago on the CZ 527. I’m a die hard for CZ’s and I love the utility of that guy. Eventually I’ll get one!

  411. Always enjoyed your videos filmed at Q, as well as seeing you take your sons out to shoot with you. Keep up the great work and excellent content!

  412. Been a subscriber since I watched your “Zeroing a Pistol Mounted Red-Dot Optic” video. It helped me greatly in zeroing my first handgun red dot. Congrats on 50k!

  413. Been subscribed for a couple years now. My favorite video series are both the “To build a fire” series and the videos you make with your sons. I think you did a great job evaluating each of the methods of used to build a fire in actual scenarios that were true to life and when you were actually cold and wet, instead of just some poorly simulated scenario when you were warm and dry.

    The videos with your sons are great and I appreciate seeing your methods to teaching them outdoor skills and firearm safety. I’m trying to emulate those with my own young kids.

  414. I first found your channel lookign into the q rifles, but now i like your insight on other things. keep it up

  415. Hey Ivan, I am a fairly recent subscriber, having only been introduced to your content when you covered Desert Brutality 2020. I really liked your content, and have been steadily going through the backlog. Keep up the great work, and congratulations on 50 thousand subscribers!

  416. I found your page while doing research on the Tactical Games. I really enjoyed your review of the matches. Congrats on 50K! Keep up the great content!

  417. I like the videos on contracting and the tactical games as well as your bolt gun stuff keep producing kick ass content and thanks for the giveaway man

  418. I’ve been following your insta for a while now. I’m always glad you see you share and post about the new and interesting products on the market. “Brownell’s Retro M16E1 & Chase Tactical LVPC: 1st Look” was probably one of my favorites recently because it inspired me to start on my own retro build! Keep up the good work!

  419. my favorite video/videos were the ones on the honey badger. specifically because i’ve been looking to get one for a while now but after figuring out how long the back order is, i’ll just wait until they speed up production. i also liked all the insight and information your videos provided from the manufacturing of the gun itself to the actual shooting.

  420. I found your channel early on in my journey with firearms. You were unique in the world of gun reviews because you came off as genuine, knowledgeable, and practical. As a new shooter I appreciated that you didn’t present yourself as infallible and showed your misses as often as your hits. Those early videos of yours encouraged me to get out and shoot and carry and all the other stuff but also to have fun with it and enjoy the prices of learning.

  421. My favorite video was the surefire 300blk can video you never see anything hodge on YouTube that’s a shame

  422. I found your channel one day and the video was painting a rifle or pistol which was cool. I really like the video at Christmas time with your sons and the shotguns which is cool, also on your Instagram stories playing Pokémon cards with them it’s wholesome content. I like that you share some things you like with your kids and you take interest in the the things they seem to like.

    Your music taste also caught my attention and I dig it.

  423. Ivan,

    Keep up the great work. Love the channel. My favorite thing, is your sense of humor and your humility.

  424. Congrats my dude!

    I think collectively, your Float Tape videos are my favorite. I think they’re super interesting from a historical perspective, even if the early 00’s may seem like yesterday.

    Could you imagine if we had candid home videos of marines hearing about Pearl Harbor in 1941, and further videos of those same dudes in the pacific? I’m sure they’ll be fascinating for people a hundred years from now.

    Running the Heat kit at Desert Brutality was also pretty sick though.

  426. I enjoyed the security contacting videos, gives a good perspective of what the job really is.

    Also the Desert Brutality videos. Looking good is the only thing that matters.

  427. Recent viewer because of your videos on TFB. Really liked your Desert Brutality videos. Congratulations!

  428. Congrats on the 50 K subscribers I really liked your ALS holster Video it helped me choose my holster that’s a cool rifle really like to win it thanks good luck to you brother I mean good luck to me LOL

  429. Well done on 50k, your float tape videos are some of the best content i’ve been watching. Real eye opening to see how the more thing change the more they really do stay the same. Keep up the good work, and stay semper gumby.

  430. 50k. Hell yeah well done man. Favorite video is obviously Grey Death Adder…I mean it has to be. If it isn’t my favorite video he’ll come kill me and or you Ivan.

    Jokes aside the float tapes (because the remind me of the absolute ridiculousness that is deployment life). Also any video with intro music because your music taste is rad.

  431. Congrats, Ivan! You deserve it bromigo. I always appreciate the backdrops you have in your videos, they definitely add to the quality of your videos… and they make me wish I lived out west haha. I really appreciate the fact that you review the courses you take because I don’t see many people doing that, and my favorite video of yours is probably “I only train with ninjas”. You are definitely one of the best at providing quality reviews that are thorough and detailed. I also had no idea there was such thing as a Tactical Games until I saw some of your videos on them. Best wishes in the future!

  432. I really liked the first contractor video. Realistic, non sensationalized description of what its like.

  433. Congratulations!! You have been an inspiration that transpired into my first AR-15 Build at the age of 18!! Your passion for the craft and guided videos on how to build up and lower receivers were the foundation of AR15 knowledge. Couldn’t Thankyou enough and look forward to seeing you reach 100k and many more milestones to come!

    Thanks
    Kent

  434. Congratulations on the milestone Ivan! I am sure it will not be the last subscriber milestone you will reach with your unique style of presenting quality “tactical” and outdoor content. You were curious about which videos/posts we enjoyed most, and I have to say that your videos on security contracting (Pros/Cons, What is it and who can do it, etc.) were really interesting to me. The gear reviews are all fantastic as well, but for some reason the security contracting videos really caught my eye. As for the reason behind that, it is actually hard to say. I am certainly in no position to ever be a security contractor, so it was not necessarily applicable to me in the way the videos were intended. I think it was really just getting insight into a world that is mostly unseen to the average person and hearing about it from a practical point of view. On other channels, it is mentioned only as a bullet point for the resume- a way of indicating experience or skills (which is understandable, but makes it feel elusive and mysterious). The way you presented it really humanized it and provided a down-to-earth insight into that world. To be honest, that attribute is a hallmark of all your videos in my opinion. You present quality information, motivate me to get outdoors more/stay on top of training, all while being down to earth and pretty chill. Keep up the awesome work and best of luck to you in the years ahead!

  435. oh yeah baby

    hands down my favorite channel second to none

    favorite vids are all parts of ramen chronicles some rarely seen dope shit from a tactical channel

    carry on brother and thank you for all the info

  436. oh yeah baby

    hands down my favorite channel second to none

    favorite vids are all parts of ramen chronicles some rarely seen dope shit from a tactical channel

    carry on brother and thank you for all the info

  437. Congrats on 50k I like your videos and the information you put out. Like your video on contractor work.

  438. Love your videos, and congrats on 50k! One of my favorite videos is definitely the M16E1, and any other retro rifles you’ve got coming! Can’t wait to see the review on this one, keep up the great work!

  439. I like seeing how the different barrel length effect velocity… In some rounds it’s very little and others it’s huge.

  440. Quality and entertaining content. 50K is probably just the beginning. I’m looking at an M16E1 rifle or A2 style AR and your video really made the choice difficult by adding another rifle to go into consideration. I need a classic looking rifle to go with my bayonet so I can stop using scotch tape…

  441. I actually like your build videos alot and enjoyed your howa Grendel series despite you maybe being disappointed in the rifle.

  442. I really enjoy your handgun reviews, as someone who’s going to be eligible for a ccl very soon and is looking for more opinions that aren’t “just get a glock” it’s really helpful to see someone actually go out of their way to sign up for a class and actually practice with a carry gun and not just blow ammo on a range and talk about it. I also enjoy your bag reviews a standout to me being the one where you did a 30 mile overnight hike because once again you actually went and used something instead of just putting in on a table and talking about it.

  443. Ivan your content is all killer no filler! 50K well deserved, congrats to you and your boys.
    Favorite vid had to be the how to paint your rifle.

  444. Fave video was the Arcteryx leaf jacket, went with your color of the crocodile tan even though I wish it was more green in the sunlight, but in certain conditions it looks similar in green like the one in the video. Thank you!

  445. Honestly, I was amazed you didn’t have more subs when I found your channel a few years ago. I don’t say that to take anything away from you hitting 50k. I’m saying that you deserve way more. Your content is always new and exciting. You put a ton of work into this and it clearly shows. You always have awesome scenery, amazing camera quality, attention to detail, etc. I don’t even know how to pick a favorite video. If I had to it would be a video with your sons. Seeing kids out in the wild and not stuck on an Ipad is awesome.

  446. Hey yo I love you insta posts responding to the random shit responses to your videos. Congratulations on 50k honestly thought you had more because of the quality of your content. Keep up the great work man.

  447. Man, favorite video? That’s a tough one, but you convinced me to go with a Sugar Weasel due to your review. You give solid information, your professional, I love the history to Kit Badger and I’m glad you got the rights to the name to make this happen. Congrats on 50k, and I’ll be here for 100k

  448. Man, favorite video? That’s a tough one, but you convinced me to go with a Sugar Weasel due to your review. You give solid information, your professional, I love the history to Kit Badger and I’m glad you got the rights to the name to make this happen. Congrats on 50k, and I’ll be here for 100k. Keep up the great work!

  449. I like you video on q honey badger and the days as a contractor. Tfb tv work as well

    Good luck

  451. Congrats on 50 thousand subscribers! I have been a long time subscriber of your channel and it has been awesome to see it grow. I really loved the video of you with your boys up on the mountain when you gave them a shotgun and 22 rifle and taught them how to shoot. Especially when your son was throwing the orange clays all over the place! That was hilarious! Here’s to the next 50,000!

  452. Congratulations man. I really enjoy the content that you put out. It always seems quality, and very direct. I really enjoyed the collaborations with Q on their various products, and hope to see more of them in the future. I’m rooting for your continued success.

  453. I’ve been watching Your videos for a little while. Just found your channel. But my favourite video would be the first one I’ve watched. About taking contracts for over seas ops. You were honest about everything even the bad. You made it clear you are and average Joe. I’m not some vet or anything just a guy who likes guns. Oh congratulations on the 50k

  454. Congrats on 50K! I’m new to the channel, found it looking at painting vids. I really like the training/drill vids – everyone needs practice and to be able to structure it with a goal in mind will help leaps and bounds. Right now with the current situation and the run on ammo the “Poor Man’s Drill” really comes to mind. Keep up the good work!

  455. Favorite upload for me is actually this video, because you are taking the time out to thank your subscribers!

  456. Howdy! I am a relatively new gun enthusiast and owner. I enjoy all of your videos but I think the Sugar Weasel series was the best. Determined to build out a 300 Pistol because of that series. Your gear reviews are great as well. Really, anytime I’m stressed and need to chill, I’ll watch one of your videos. Keep up the great content!

  457. Congrats Bud!! Doing the right thing ( keeping it Real) from the start keeps us coming for more. I have to say Ramen Chronicle’s (1-6) are my Favorite. Being a dad myself I love to include my little sidekicks in a little fun. Take care Bud..

  458. The To Build a Fire videos are still my favorite. That series helped gel some thoughts I had about skills and gear. Congrats on 50K and thanks for all you do.

  459. Congratulations on the 50k subscribers! I’m only recently new to watching your channel. I enjoyed the side chick build series the most. However, you do a great job with all of the videos. Keep up the good work.

  460. I’ve pretty much been watching since the beginning. Its next to impossible to pick out a favorite video though. To be honest, I’ve gained so much knowledge from you. I’d have to say I was definitely influenced by your gun painting and battle belt related content. Your adventure videos are also definitely top of the list though. Needless to say, I think the icing on the cake was getting to train with you. I cant wait to see what other content you have for the future. Keep it up man! You’re kicking some serious ass.

  461. My favorite without a doubt is the hot dog hike. It gave me the inspiration to take my children out and do simple little lessons with them. They don’t need to be grand, they just need to be consistent. thank you for the push.

  463. Congrats on 50k! I’m new to the channel, and I find the content very interesting, especially the Security Contracting videos. The level of professionalism and quality will keep me glued to the channel. Keep up the great work and I’m looking forward to the new and upcoming videos.

  464. Congrats on smashing 50k brother! Here’s to another 50k🤙🏻🤘🏻💪🏼🇺🇸
    I like the video where you took a Ruger american .308 & heavily modded it out, cut the 22″ barrel down to 16″, new chassis, cherry bomb, thunder chicken etc… man this would make my year to finally take the “W” on something ESPECIALLY THIS would be my choice “W” to finally take! Thanks for the opportunity brother!🤙🏻🤘🏻💪🏼🇺🇸

  465. Congrats on reaching 50K. I started with the series you did on the Side Chic by Q. Keep up the good work and cant wait for you to hit the 100k mark.

  466. Congrats on 50k! Here’s to 100k by the end of the year! Favorite vids hard to pic. I really have a soft spot for the p7m8 and the trooper. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all of your content though. My favorite channel. Wish you all the best!

  467. I’ve been watching for a while now and chopping the Trooper is still my favorite.

  468. Heyo! Congrats on 50k! My favorite vids were the one that led me to your channel in the first place…how to paint your rifle and handguns… They were simple and to the point and gave me a great start to paining my rifles.

    Here’s to you and getting another 50k

  469. Love seeing you competing in Desert Brutality. Props to wearing the suit. Hoped Roy subsidized the dry cleaning bill haha. Cheers!

  470. Congrats on reaching 50K. I started watching your channel after you were featured on TFB TV. Keep it up. You bring a great perspective to the Gun content community.

  471. 50k is quite the accomplishment! I would have to say that my favorite video is How to Revitalize a Aeropress Coffee Maker. I feel it just expresses the Everyman aspect of all your videos,the calm no nonsense approach of practicality that is Kitbadger. Congratulations and please keep up the great content.

  472. Thank you for the Fantastic giveaway my favorite video is the kit Badger knife video and you should do more collaborations. I am a knife nut too

  473. Been a fan only a few months, I really enjoyed your contractor video. I put your painting videos to practice and have my WASR10 painted matte white now. Congrats on the 50k, here’s to a future of great and informational videos!

  475. I first out about Kit Badger when I saw a post and links elsewhere (soldiersystems maybe?) about your KBATs. I use those targets every range trip.

    What really sealed the deal, so to speak) was that the targets were free to print. After watching the video I figured, “huh, what else is this dude about…” and I’m glad I did. Your content is pragmatic, direct, and fair, with a delivery that’s worth tuning in for time and time again.

  476. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of the Strawberry Mountain videos and articles. However the Ramen Chronicles have been my favorite!

  477. I think the first video I saw of yours was the diy camo paint and it stands out for the fact that I’ve come back to watch d enjoy a lot more.
    Congrats

  478. Bravo-Zulu, Congrats on hitting 50K! I was introduced by your Painting your Pistol Video hard to believe that was almost 4 years ago but like they say the rest is HISTORY!

  480. Hey brother, How far you have come! Now stop making me spend money on cool stuff!

  481. Congratulations on 50k! I stumbled across your channel when looking into contract work. Love the build videos.

  482. Thank you Sir for the outstanding videos and congratulations on the 50k subscriber mark! I love the deep dive build videos. I think it’s super cool viewing how products are made start to finish. Keep up the great videos and factory tours.

  483. Hey brother, thanks for the opportunity to win!
    In stead of listing my favorite video, how about I list a series of videos.
    The Goat lake, and Strawberry mountain series are my favorite. I love
    the views and the sense of adventure.

  484. Hello Ivan,

    I cant tell you how much I enjoy your videos, they are great! Your a very genuine person and you keep things real and it really helps with not going down that deep hole of endless gear and weapons. My favorite video of yours was the one with Todd Huey from Lone Star Boars. I haven been watching him for years, and when I saw you went on a hunt with him I could believe it! I was so excited. Thanks for the great videos and keep on keepin’ on!

    Thanks!

  485. Congratulations man! Your videos rock and your content is solid. The factory to table series was a definite home run. I’ve been subscribed on your channel for a few years now and look forward to many More to come. Thanks for the honest content!

  486. I have been watching your videos for a couple of years bit just broke down and created a account and subscribed. With all the attacks on gun rights I wanted to several gun channels I watch anyway to stay updated.
    I started watching Kit Badger for the gear reviews but I really enjoy your competition coverage like Desert Brutality.

  487. Thanks for all the great content. I really enjoy the training videos. I’m a new shooter and working to get better. Little things like remembering to account for the difference on point of impact and how it comes into play when shooting from the ground/on your side, are great nuggets. Keep coming with the content and congrats on 50k! One of my favorites drills so far is

  488. Ivan,
    First thing… Thanks for creating content that reflects my interests and personal values. I stumbled on your Desert Brutality 2020 video and really appreciated your nod to the movie HEAT with your use of an AR15 carbine and HK P7-M8. I was pretty rivetted by your retro gear choices and enjoyable editing of your negotiation of the courses of fire. After I found the DB 2020 content I perused your Idaho adventures. I am a resident of south eastern Washington and never cease to be amazed by the beauty of this part of the country. I grew up on the Florida coast which was a great child hood but I wouldn’t trade mountains for the ocean any day of the week.

    Thanks for what you do!

  489. I stumbled upon your channel a while ago and I must say its a nice change of pace for a gun channel. So many are just “in your face” and it gets old and redundant. With your calm and collected manner, the attitude that you don’t have to prove yourself to anyone BUT yourself is really nice. Also, all the spots you choose to film your videos are amazing in my opinion and I am quite jealous honestly. Now, most people would say a gun review would be their favorite video and while I would be lying if I said I didn’t have one the one that stuck out to me the most was “Catharsis, Divorce and the Range. Now I swear a year after you posted that video I was going through a divorce also, and it was brutal. I was at the lowest of lows and I had just separated from the Corps in August of 2018 and was getting a divorce by February of 2019. I had no hobbies, no friends to say and I had no more guns, I, unfortunately, had to download my collection to pay bills while I was in for reasons that were out of my hands (she refused to work and spent more money than I made as an LCpl). Once I was on my own I was able to buy an HK P30 (loved your review by the way) and I bought a stripped Aero Precision set and eventually built my own URGI clone and I couldn’t have been happier. I was getting back into what I loved to do, shoot and build firearms. Your video gave me purpose and reminded me to do what I loved to do and what I was good at. It reminded me that there is in fact light at the end of the tunnel and “the suck” is temporary, you just have to push through it and find that drive again. It’s easier said than done, but you can do it. I’ve bought another AR since and another pistol, and every time I get a little giddy inside. Firearms give me a purpose and it’s such a huge hobby of mine. Granted other things give me purpose too (I’m not that shallow) but it’s the main thing I enjoy. So even if I don’t win this XM-177, I really hope you see and read this comment. Thank you for helping me and not even realizing it, because of you and your video I’m doing what I love. And I truly do hope I win this rifle, but if not, no big deal. Once again thank you and Semper Fi

    1. Thanks for taking the time to share Kyle. I appreciate you watching and I’m glad that video resonated with you. I didn’t know who it would help when I made it, but I’m glad you found it…

  490. The first video that I watched was your review of the Spiritus Systems chest rig. I keep watching your videos because I enjoy your practical views and dry humor. Thank you for being awesome.

  491. My favorite video was “Reflecting on 1 year at the tactical games”. This video was how I found your channel, I wanted to research the tactical games. This video convinced to do the games. I enjoyed your candor, content and how you described the games. I subscribed because of this video! Keep up the great work!

  492. This would be a nice addition to my safe. I have been watching more and more of your videos. I’m falling in love with all Q LLC products and I don’t even own any. The quality it just above the rest and it shows with their attention to detail

  493. I have really enjoyed your videos since finding this recently. Some of the videos that I found very useful are the ones on the 10 yard zeroing targets. While I like the guns and gear reviews I will never be able to buy and use all of it . I can use information like the zeroing targets with what I already have. Keep putting out good knowledge and congratulations on 50K.

  494. Your hard work is paying off! I personally enjoy the float tapes. Reminds me of a more simple time. #24 at 8:42 is a situation in which anyone who has been “there” has been subject to, no where to hide!!

  495. The video that you’ve posted that meant most to me might be one of the shortest. The video of you and your two boys lined up like badasses shooting and jamming. The three of you reminded me of my brother and father and growing up very similar to what you have shown us. Then thinking back remembering cheeses videos that when I was their age I thought was awesome. Then high school age I’d been embarrassed if my friends knew the cheeses albeit fun stuff we did.bAnd now I’m 35 what I wouldn’t give just for ONE minute of the past. That video hits deep especially thinking of how it molded me and how you’re molding and creating future men.

    Thank you for all you do!

  496. I really like your videos on Q products. I find them really interesting and your a really influencing my future purchases.

  498. Really appreciate the honesty(and humor) in all your review vids. Watched the rifle painting again with my son the other day. Ended up painting a rifle a b.b. gun and several mags! Thanks for the vids!
