The Best Tool For Protecting Yourself?
Most people ask, what should I carry to protect myself from violent attack? My answer - a great knowledge of the law! How can you defend yourself if you do not even know what the law allows? Most people believe the law forces them into victimhood. This is just not true. Ignorance is far more likely to turn you into a victim. I present a basic discussion on the principals of self defence, third party defence and defence of property in the UK.

I spent 23 years in private security. During that time I was able to watch a lot of human behaviour. Some good and some very bad. It gave me some insights into the behaviour of predators. In this episode I speak specifically about females and what they can do to avoid being a victim. This is not an online martial arts class, because.. That nonsense will get you hurt or maybe worse. These are ob...

A first for the channel, I take a look at night vision binoculars. I have used plenty of Mil grade NV systems so I was interested to see how an affordable civilian unit would perform.

There are a lot of guys out there who are feeling depressed, tired and unhappy with their bodies. This could be down to low testosterone.

I discuss Testosterone, what it is, some of the symptoms of low levels and some sensible...

I get to travel a lot for work. There are a ton of travel videos out there but they are very glitzy and many do not reflect the reality. They either focus on impossibly expensive stuff or talk about extreme scenarios.

Garmin Xero C1 Pro Chronograph Review
Переглядів 92321 день тому
The Garmin Xero C1 Pro Chronograph measure the velocity of bullets, arrows, in fact anything small that flies at speed! It comes in an industry leading small form factor. The question is, does it work, is it tough to set up and can it compare to other larger, more expensive options. I have put this unit through its paces. It has been roasted at 48 celcius, blasted by a 50BMG muzzle brake and sa...

Bladetech Tek-mount and Belt - Best EDC Carry Option?
I am born and raised in Norway. I used to smoke but had to stop smoking because it was too expensive to smoke here. started vamping. Yeah tobacco, alcohol and healthy food here is very expensive.A proper steak is of cause really expensive. too. Living in Norway in general too expensive. So expensive that they scare away alot of tourisme.
Regarding Wolves , they pose no threat to humans and if you see one anywhere in Europe it should be considered a rare honour. Farmers are compensated generously by the EU for any livestock lost to protected predators such as wolves or Bears (that are also in Norway). But Farmers and also hunting clubs really want the ban lifted on hunting for purely financial reasons and unfortunately they hold a lot of political power. Im just saying its important not to get on the bandwagon when it comes to victimising these animals. They are a treasure.
You are spot on sir!
Weirdo!!!
Very interesting blog
Glad you enjoyed it
It’s a catch 22 if a prosecutor woke up in a bad mood or happy mood or they just didn’t like you period
Does the scent keep mosquito away?
No :(
Us Gay people need to be left alone and not used as a political weapon to tick a box. It is time to STOP all pride events.
In the words of a gay landlord of mine "I could get laid within 30 minutes any time i want".
Would rather have surgery with a butter knife than visit Lost Wages.
Thiught you was going to say a large Maglite torch
I am gay myself and I can confirm that most of the worst people I’ve ever came across in my life were gay men … sex obsessed , misogynistic , selfish, shallow , addicted to the worst substances … this idea thay gay men are such sweet little puppies … women especially have no idea how much many gay men hate them …. They are seem just as potential incubators to buy children …
They say motorcycle will be exempt from it. Back to a gsxr I’ll go if this rolls in.
you can claim to not be homophobic, but the extreme homophobia running rampant in your comments seems to suggest otherwise
I am homophobic because you deem other peoples comments to be homophobic? Ok. Its an open forum unless people are being outright abusive. I know its shocking but not everyone agrees or condones all our personal sexual preferences. There are many gay commentators who are unhappy with the scene and some of the personalities in it. Are they homophobic as well?
I always saw strip clubs as places for married men. I was single but my married buddies always wanted to go to strip clubs when they had a night out. I would sacrifice my night so they could have some innocent fun. They could get worked up and then go and take care of the wife at home. As for myself on the other hand was stuck with the other hand.
I just realized Sampson in the Bible was a stripper. Tell me your secret if you love me
It servived so much with me best watch ive had and im casio guy
👌
I lived in Canada over 20 yrs ago. Strip clubs were the bollocks. I'd never go to one in the uk ... fuck that
The thing about Norway is not that people are very rich, but that nobody is very poor. That allows for higher prices. As for taxes on alcohol, tobacco and candy, that's something I really like. Because that means luxury is helping to finance necessity and I think that's how it should be. It's good for public health and it's great for society.
Good point!
Did these clubs pay particularly well or were they just regular doorman money for the guys on security? Loving the channel!
Thanks! The tips were pretty good but the hourly rate was just standard..
This is 100% accurate. The biggest danger on the door was always not knowing who your working with. Only showed their colours when it goes pete tong.😂
Feel like this is a deliberate ploy by government. They wish to. 1. Get rid of benefits. 2. Get rid of the NHS 3. Get more hard line authoritarian powers. They are banking on a push back. There are good arguments for all of these things. But becareful what you wish for. When government offer you a solution. It always cuts two ways. None of us voted for this.
People in good jobs and careers want to avoid losing what they have. People in boring jobs want to make their nights as interesting as they can so they have something to talk about the next day. 😂 This Alpha male idiology thats circulating is causing problems.
If someone really is an Alpha Male they are busy taking care of business and family. They arent drunk and scrapping in some cheap ass club.
@@thatgearguy Exactly right. Very rare you see an evenly matched fight. It's always big guy vs small. Big group vs small group. Predatory bullying behaviours. I always say if you want a fight go to a boxing gym or dojo. Leave it out of the pub.
I love mine,.. beautiful and extremly well made🗡🗡🗡
Are you a gangsta
Hmm maybe a gangster of love!
Better be a stalactite than a catamite.
Again great insight. Opens up a question. What do you do with Gays who break the law? I think alot of them would actively fantasise about prison. Been locked away with lots of rough guys. Prison would almost be like a reward. Messed up liberal world. Been a normal bloke is the only Taboo left.
Im not sure they would look forward to it. The prisons in the UK are run mainly by islamic gangs. I dont think gayness would go down well..
@@thatgearguy That's when they transition and move to a lady's prison. 🤣
@@paulgibbons2320 jfc dude have you ever even met a gay person?
@@swiftxrt aww you gonna get hysterical over a joke.
@@paulgibbons2320 I'll take that as a no lmao
The SA accent was not too bad😂. The attitude was spot on.
Ha terrible accent I know!
Not even a middle aged guy (I'm 34 but could probably pass for middle aged given how beat up I look lol) but the part where you talk about excuse-making is so true. "I haven't got the time" is the most common one, usually coming out of the other side of a mouth who's just told you about how they're "bored" and "have nothing new to watch on Netflix/play on Playstation" that week etc, or that someone "can't afford to eat healthy" because they spend most of their grocery money on processed garbage and snacks, and/or booze and/or drugs, etc (I mean, I have the odd burger and pizza and smoke a bit of weed/drink beer from time to time* myself but not to the detriment of training haha; these things feel like more of an earned treat in moderation anyway and it makes them far more enjoyable!) Also, the point about consistency is dead on. Some of my friends get fat and then do some drastic keto thing once a year to get rid of it all; they almost always lose muscle and strength doing so when they could have just stuck to a balanced diet to begin with, but they don't wanna hear it haha. Love the channel!
Thanks for watching!!
Very good psychological insight. Very genuine views. You see some funny things. One guy turned up flashing the cash paid for all his friend to get in. He wasn't in the club 20 minutes he was thrown out for touching one of the girls. 😂 The club owners alway end up in prison lol 😂
I was out in gay clubs as a 16 year old in London in the 90s and even though nothing like this happened to me. There were rumours and scandals like the ones presented in this video. You have to have some street smarts going into these clubs, they can be vicious. But I love the gay clubs still. Just be careful out there. ❤
Sensible, balanced advice here, especially regarding alcohol. It boils my piss when you hear both men and women say 'yes but we should be able to dress how we like, go where we like...etc.' I tell my 3 teenagers that if i was to wander into a certain pub in Newcastle wearing Sunderland shirt i'd likely get either verbally abused at best, or physically attacked. Would i deserve it? No. Have i been silly? Oh yes. It's really not a perfect world. People need to wise up a bit.
Well said!
Norway has comparatively few types of wild animals, especially the larger ones. The UK has far more types of deer and much denser popularions.
My old man was associated with the hells angels they wanted him to join but my mum said do that and you loose me and the kids cause some of stuff you have to do and fund yourself is a madness eg like take a trip to America and do this and that but all funded by yourself while your a prospect.
That snake is a common adder. It's about as venomous as a wasp.
Well I fear snakes so its a nope from me..
I spent lots of time and money in clubs across America, and I can 100% confirm it's doppelganger here 😂
Interesting. I’m a biker. I loathe those clubs
This is incredibly accurate. I live close to the Swedish border, and I go to Sweden once a month to stock up on meat and other things that are much cheaper there 😄 But it is a wonderful country to live in if you love nature!
Thanks for sharing!
Poppers are the cause of broken immune systems, which Fauchi renamed as AIDS 😂
Mad res on that camera blud.
Thank for exposing this to people either straight or gay who may have never thought this shit goes on. I’m glad I never got into the club and bar scene. I don’t bother going to any gay events I m disgusted with the nudity at the pride parades.
Thanks for watching!
well said. putting in the perspective of a job you realize how redicoulas some guys see it
My husband and I have been together 33 years. We keep to ourselves and avoid other gays. The gay community has both wonderful and horrible people. Just like every other community..
Congrats to you both for your long and happy relationship!
To be honest, the straight community bar scene is fucked up too
Hence my multiple videos on the problems in straight bars.
I knew some gay people who were also so passive aggressive that they threw bird seeds on cars, threw soda on people while driving by and took pictures of people saying " wtf is he wearing?"
I dont know what this refers to. Of course they are individuals, some crazy, some not and everything in between.
Bro its not a big deal, if you are unhappy then any environment is gonna suck. You are capable of enjoying a strip club and not overthinking it trustt me 😂😂
You completely miss the point of the video or more likely you never even watched.
@@thatgearguy i actually really enjoyed the video 😂😂
Another gay man here. Read through the comments. Yup, gay men aren't the jolly group of nice and happy men. The club scene is brutal, and there's a serious tribe mentality that despises and excludes the other.
The sad thing is in commonwealth countries is that the police just charge and send the matter to court. The Police seem reluctant to make a rational determination of the situation. The person defending themself is then left with the legal costs
Did you see the vid of female skater, she got rear attack, rear naked or some sort of choke. Totally code white.
