Where in the World is MrTacticalBacon?

Here we can see MrTacticalBacon and a few of his buddies on liberty in some "God-Awful 3rd world country". I believe that, right. As he sucks down an Irish Stout and drains that Cigar. No but in all seriousness everyone deserves some R&R and I am sure that mercilessly hunting down our nation's enemies has its vices. The mail is clearly quite slow to there as he definitely hasn't been eating the peanut butter that we have been sending him. #tooskinny. That said, it looks like he has had some time to work on his sleeve some. I'll be interested to check that out.

Well bro, stay safe, always use protection, and don't forget to enjoy the world a bit.

My Haters

I was feeling a bit lazy this morning and I was reading through some comments. One viewer asked why there was so much negativity in the comment section of a product review video. I thought that this was a good answer to publish on a broader scale:

People don't like it when you challenge norms, like "Glock is the best" or "Everything Magpul makes is gold". I started this channel to do just that, challenge. 

I have had the privilege of directly influencing (have been directly contacted or physically present) the gear decisions of multiple service members and LEOs; potentially saving their life. This was done by not sucking up to companies, not going with the flow, and yes pissing A LOT of people off. That is why you see such negativity in the comment fields, because people go to YouTube to justify the money they have spent. When they find someone who isn't drooling over that product they get pissed. 

I break things, I am hard on things, and I pull no punches because I am not a gear reviewer. I hate that title. "Hey guys, I got this thing for free in the mail, and it looks cool, buy it" Gag me, can you get more sycophantic or shallow? I can't understand how people can watch some of these people.

I am a gear tester, there are few of us out there, and by obligation to you (whether you like it or not) I have to be hard, objective, and for lack of a better term- a prick. 

What people don't see in the background is I am writing product improvement reports to companies trying to make gear better overall. Some are accepted and implemented,  other times I am told to shut up.

 "You know you are doing something right when people hate you". -James Yeager 

This is true; I know I am doing the right thing because of the type of people, who trust me. I could care less what a keyboard commando says, it's the opinion of their antithesis that matters.

Special thanks to the viewer for their comment.

VSO Throw-Back Week. Mud Guns

I recently had a birthday. You know birthdays kinda suck when you get older- the best ones are sub 16 years old; then your "friends" get a hold of you for your 21st. That day is the worst day of your life, until you get married.

Everyone asked me what I wanted? And I kind of sluffed it off, did the socially correct thing and didn't name an endless list of $2000 guns. (Tacdaddy, I want and FNX45T, black variant!) All kidding aside, what I really wanted was something that no one could give me. I wanted to go run and gun like the old days with my brother, MrTacticalBacon.

As many of you know he is currently deployed overseas, hunting bad guys. So needless to say he is somewhat predisposed with raising his kill count and won't be making the party. He did email me and say that he picked me up a nice gift that will arrive at the FFL in about a month. Hat tip to him, I am very grateful but I would much rather be out-running him on the obstacle course.

I couldn't have that so I did the next best thing: I have a ton of video that has been published from the early days of VSO. A lot of it is pretty terrible, I am not going to lie. However, I keep it around to grant me some solace while by best friend is gone, engaging in grand adventures of desolation and requital. So stay safe bro, kill Moogs, and without further babbling. The first throwback I would like to highlight is this last minute throw together from early 2011.  "Mud Guns"
