My Dad was a grafter, a farmer all his days. Died at 53 of a heart attack, fit as a fiddle and a complete shock to us all. I have a son and a daughter now, I try my best to install a sense of metal and independence in both my kids. Hopefully I don't go at 53, but if I leave them with as many happy memories that I have of my own father, ill be a proud man.
I'm very thankful to have multiple men as role models, but first and foremost it'd have to be my dad. Showing me by words and actions how to love and provide for his family.
My father is my role model because he loves me unconditionally, supports me and is always there to guide me on my life's journey. His tireless efforts, wisdom and moral values inspire me to be a better person.
Super cool looking flashlight. I didn't realize you can't share on Instagram other than through a message haha, so just shared it on Facebook instead. My role model is definitely my dad, but more recently my pastor has become a role model and friend to turn to.
Great, thank you. I'm not an overly religious person however I didn't thoroughly enjoy the talks out local vicar would have. I have an incredible amount of respect for people with faith. Thank you for sharing
My Dad and Grandad are both very similar, very strong, quiet, confident, intelligent, I am 68 and still try to live up to their advice. Thanks keep up the great vids.
My dad. He passed just as I finished high school, and a lot of the things he said only clicked many years later. Miss him all the time and there is so much I would want to ask him now.
I lost my dad this year on New Year's Day. I think your dad will have took so much pride in hearing his advice from all those year back would have made you the person you are today
My father when it comes to outdoor activities. His enthusiasm for nature, his love of adventure and his ability to appreciate the beauty of the environment have inspired me to do the same
My grandad for sure. Gave me my first knife when I was 8, and taught me a lot of life lessons. And whilst he was from an older generation that wasn't great at expressing affection, I know that the time and lessons he shared with me were his ways of expressing how a male role model should be, in his own way at least.
Although by modern standard, these 'traditional' values are out dated... I feel they're just as important now as they've ever been. Both my Grandfather's were similar and amazing men. Thank you for sharing this
Another very cool torch from Olight and great review. My Dad is definitely my role model and friend. Ive recently become a Dad myself and am striving to be the best role model I can be to him too. Cheers Craig
Got to love an Olight but not sure my Dad would’ve got it lol. Didn’t appreciate him as much as I should as he was from a different era, but I miss him and try to always be there for my kids as he was for me 💚
My grandfather. He started as an electrician in a powerplant and worked his way to the top at the plant, he was one of the old school guys that could fix anything and gave me my first SAK. One of my fondest memories are watching MacGyver together after school.
Killer Olight! Haven't seen this one before. My role model. My dad. Still teaching me all the time. Buy can't leave out mom who filled in wherever dad couldn't.
What a fun light, would be perfect for my collection! My step-father is most definitely my inspiration … Put his entire career on a standstill to be a stay at home dad for me and my identical twin brother. He raised us to be great men. I owe a lot of who I am to him and the last two decades. Cheers sir 🎉
@@MoorlanderEDC thank you sir! I’ll be giving this flashlight to him as a birthday gift if I end up getting it! Him and I are both collectors. Thanks again man. God bless 🙏
My model was my grandfather. He teach me the value of work and the importance of a good tool maintenance for being effective. Was and old fashioned man with strict values, but when i grew up and become a father i understood that many times is much better than the "relativity" of nowadays. The word that a man gives should have value and being like a contract, or is better stay in silence... 👍🖖 Regards
Thanks for sharing! It seems weird that these 'traditional' value are classed as old fashioned and out of date nowadays. My Dad taught me to hold a door open for a lady. Not because they can't open it themselves, but because it's polite. I think people have misunderstood these traditional values in the modern world
New to your channel. Looking forward to more! My role model growing up was my dad. He always worked so hard and was always respectful of others and therefore also respected.
Hi well regarding male role models my first was my dad who I lost at 21 but he is with me all the time no matter what . And now my husband is joining with me ( many years ago ) in my life journey . And he is another male role model who I strive to have and take care of /with . The torch choosing date will be around the time the next heat wave is on or about to come into play. So you may regret asking for more heat . 😂🐾👍❤️💙
Thanks for sharing this. Reading through people's comments has been a pretty emotional experience and one that I've genuinely treasured. I've had it up to here with this heat 😆 I'm a winter baby and can't wait for sub zero temperatures to return
Don't have a Olight flaslight till now. But they are beautiful and good quality. Mine father is mine rolemodel. In the sec. world war he was a prisoner in concentration camps. He has 8 kids and threat us always with respect , works hole live very hard. I miss him every single day .He is in heaven 🙏
My most positive role model was a martial arts teacher. He really had his drill instructor craft down but was also very personable and would sit and just hang out chatting it up with whoever was around for an hour or so. I learned a lot that had nothing to do with martial arts 🥋 I need one of those Olights for night riding dual sport bikes 🤩
I always love the contents of your vlogs. Always fun and positive. My dad was my role model as he was a retired sargent in the U.S. Army. He has long since passed away but I have learned a lot from him just by listening and watching him. Look forward to your next vlog!
He sounds like a great man. It's the wee tiny nuggets of knowledge you pas son that you don't necessarily think are important that often become gems that your kids hold on to. Thank you for sharing Mike. All my best
Obviously, my father. He taught me responsibility and a good work ethic. Sadly, he passed away at age 65 and was seriously ill for many years prior to his passing, so we didn't have the time we should.
Your Uncle Ron sounds like a horrible person 😆 Instilling that outdoors love is more valuable than anything. I had my daughters out in nature as soon as possible. They were like feral children
Never owned an olight. I carry a Fenix pd32 mostly. My grandad was my icon. He had an engineering background and inspired me to carry a pocket knife and to start my edc way of life throughout my adulthood.
@@MoorlanderEDC very welcome and yes they do. So much so that I ended up becoming an engineer myself. Thanks for making me stand still and think about it today👍. Happy memories.
What a generous giveaway, the only olight I own is a small keychain i1R so this is a great upgrade. Goes without saying that my dad was my role model, He always carried a pocket knife which got me into edc. I have to mention ‘The Bro Project’ that a good friend of mine called Alex Co runs to help men who are battling mental health issues.
Thank you for mentioning that. I've done a few peice on here about mental health and trying to get men to find help. I'll make a note of 'The Bro Project to mention in my next content. I hope you're well my friend
The obvious one is my dad but that goes without saying, I'd probably have to say the 1st company sergeant major i ever had really looked after me and tought me so much so if by chance kit kat is watching thank you sir
Male role models would be all the instructors through RAF training, especially the Regiment guys who were very professional and also funny. Perhaps joining the forces could be of benefit to some with certain mental health issues. Get torn down and built up again with a new perspective and different kind of confidence.
There's a very valid arguement for national service in a society that's increasingly growing up without father's and male role models. Glad to hear you made it through everything safe and sound
@MoorlanderEDC its hit me harder than losing my mum and dad to be honest, but he spent more time with me planted stuff in the garden together and stuff and he was brilliant at palming dinky toys and making it look like they came out my ear 😃

And I'm sure they're both very proud to have a dad like you 🙌
my dad, because he is always there for me and you can learn a lot from him.
I'm very thankful to have multiple men as role models, but first and foremost it'd have to be my dad. Showing me by words and actions how to love and provide for his family.
I think this is true role of a father and it's sadly missing in a lot of people's lives. Thanks David
My father, may he rest in peace, was my obvious role model and we spent a lot of time outdoors. Tinkering with cars. Hiking, biking and camping. Etc.
He sounds like my dad. If there was something under a car bonnet he didn't recognise... it shouldn't have been there
My father is my role model because he loves me unconditionally, supports me and is always there to guide me on my life's journey. His tireless efforts, wisdom and moral values inspire me to be a better person.
My dad is my role model. He taught me to stay calm in any situation.
Sounded like a great grounded fella
My granddad as my dad passed away when I was little spent many hours at his allotments loved that time and will always miss him
It's wee things like memories like that. Smaller things like quality time together like this make the best lasting thoughts
My father is my role model. He is always there for me teaching everything,
He sounds like a great role model
My Dad taught me a lot including the value of hard work.
My dad taught me the same with 'You reap what you sew' 🙌

Cool colour! I wanna have one

Ray mears was my childhood hero and learned so much from that guy growing up
Oh man. I remember watching him on tele and trying to do his stuff in the fields behind out house. Legend
Another very cool torch from Olight and great review.
My Dad is definitely my role model and friend. Ive recently become a Dad myself and am striving to be the best role model I can be to him too.
Cheers Craig
My Grandad. A real man's man
That generation was build differently. I'm not sure we'll see men like that again
Got to love an Olight but not sure my Dad would’ve got it lol. Didn’t appreciate him as much as I should as he was from a different era, but I miss him and try to always be there for my kids as he was for me 💚
In years to come, your children will feel the benefit of having a great Dad
Hold on... just read that back. That's not to mean they don't now, if you get me 😆 You definitely appreciate that stuff more as you grow
Had led lender 450 w few years and the 250 previously to that but like look those to upgrade to
My grandfather. He started as an electrician in a powerplant and worked his way to the top at the plant, he was one of the old school guys that could fix anything and gave me my first SAK. One of my fondest memories are watching MacGyver together after school.
Definitely a different generation 👍
@@MoorlanderEDC The good old days 👍
Killer Olight! Haven't seen this one before.
My role model. My dad. Still teaching me all the time. Buy can't leave out mom who filled in wherever dad couldn't.
There's definitely some amazing female Dads out there too
What a fun light, would be perfect for my collection!

@@MoorlanderEDC thank you sir! I’ll be giving this flashlight to him as a birthday gift if I end up getting it! Him and I are both collectors. Thanks again man. God bless 🙏
Love the fact that they sent two
Lets say it was a logistics error so they decided to let me keep/giveaway the second one

Only own one Olight a small Baton so far. My Dad who has been gone for over 25 yrs. ❤
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you Dennis. Thank you for sharing. I hope you're well

I think these role models who aren't necessarily family member are great. Sports, hobbies etc are just as important today as they have ever been

That’s good engineering! 🤔💭
Light refraction engineering? 😂 I'm sure they have some sort of computer modeling software that does the maths for them. Hope you're well David 🙏
Obviously, my father. He taught me responsibility and a good work ethic. Sadly, he passed away at age 65 and was seriously ill for many years prior to his passing, so we didn't have the time we should.
Sorry to hear that. My dad passed away on New Years Day this year. It never get easier
Sure doesn't. My Mum passed away 3 years ago and it's difficult trying to come to terms with it again.
Stay strong mate and remember the good times.
Terrific giveaway!! My Uncle Ron is to blame for my addiction to "outdoor pursuits" and all things EDC.
Your Uncle Ron sounds like a horrible person 😆 Instilling that outdoors love is more valuable than anything. I had my daughters out in nature as soon as possible. They were like feral children
Never owned an olight. I carry a Fenix pd32 mostly. My grandad was my icon. He had an engineering background and inspired me to carry a pocket knife and to start my edc way of life throughout my adulthood.

just ordered a Antique Bronze version because of your reviw. yet again great reviews but you keep costing me money my friend.
Enjoy!
The obvious one is my dad but that goes without saying, I'd probably have to say the 1st company sergeant major i ever had really looked after me and tought me so much so if by chance kit kat is watching thank you sir
I hope he is watching and see this. I have a list as long as my arm of people I'd genuinely like to meet again, shake their hand and say 'thank you'
Crocodile Dundee the OG of EDC (Knife, Hat, Rope “phone”)
What a legend
My best friends dad and my dad ❤
My dad 💪💪💪
Cool light. Dont have model :(
You're more than welcome. Hopefully you'll help somebody and become a role model for them in the future.
Male role models would be all the instructors through RAF training, especially the Regiment guys who were very professional and also funny.

Congratulations. Your name was randomly picked for this giveaway. If you can email me at Moorlanderedc@gmail.com I can arrange getting this to you 👍
I would have to say it was my father.
Has the winner already been drawn? I haven't received any notification of the win 😂
Gyver, because he can do just about anything
Guyver the Japanese anime? That's a classic for sure
You look like Ragnar Lothbrok from Vikings
Quite possibly the greatest compliment I've ever had. Thank you Joshua. I hope you're well my friend and have a great weekend 🤙
My dad taught me how to hunt and fish. More importantly he taught me how to be a good man
The perfect reply. Having both male and female role models in out life is about balance
@@MoorlanderEDC thank you
My grandpa been my dad
Who won? Not heard about this in the latest vids.
I released a Short 😂 can't remember the chaps name. Good point though. I'll add it to the description 👍
@@MoorlanderEDC Ah, I forgot about Shorts. Cheers for the update!
My Brother in Law sadly taken in January.
Sorry to hear that David. I hope you're well my friend
@MoorlanderEDC its hit me harder than losing my mum and dad to be honest, but he spent more time with me planted stuff in the garden together and stuff and he was brilliant at palming dinky toys and making it look like they came out my ear 😃
Thats not a loight..... But i want it. My positive role model is- Brokkr, the dwarf who forged gifts for the Gods
My grandfather hardest worker I know
They were a different generation for sure
My dad
