Thanks guys.
You are great. Stay true to your nutnfancy roots.
Wow 😳
Thank _you_ man, your content is fantastic.
No problem, dude, we like the videos🎉
Please don't talk while I watch this video ❤
As someone who has had a ton of dogs. You absolutely should get a puppy before Nova gets too old. She will train the dog to do all the things you trained her to do. It makes your job soooo much easier. Also old dogs get over being annoyed after a few weeks.....but always give her bigger treats. You don't want to see what happens if you do.😮
This is great advice, training a puppy is about 90% less difficult if you already have a well-trained adult dog
I concur. I've had several of my own dog while also fostering many rescues of various ages for adoption. Generally most "adult" dogs are very tolerant of "pups" under a year old, and teach them a lot of good doggie social skills which is very important. What you may run into with having a puppy and a senior dog is that the puppy can quickly wear out the senior dog as some puppies want a lot of play time, which can make the senior dog cranky when they're tired. But that's also a good lesson for a puppy to learn ... don't keep pestering a dog that no longer wants to play.
I like your theory on a “soft apocalypse“. I’ve always thought the same thing. No major EMP, or Zombieland, but a breakdown in society that requires us to be more security minded. -OG 🤘😎
Depending on where you live that's already the case. Therefore just a matter of time, if we don't do a 180.....soon.
Even if your country gets invaded, life goes on. Yes, a lot of death happens, but life goes on.
Yup, the apocalypse is not likely going to be a major “big bang” that never gets better. It’s going to be a gradual disintegration into total crap.
South Africa comes to mind. A seemingly modern, secure society, that is falling into a pile due to corruption and government mismanagement of public utilities.
Same, think certain parts of Mexico for example.

54:35 Ending comments
Bro…. I’m a 20 year plus US Army Senior NCO and I love your videos. Your channel is one of my all time favs and I genuinely look forward to your new drops. Love your unbiased, honest, and down to earth approach during equipment trials, your genuine efforts at honing your crafts, and the light hearted comedic brushstrokes that frame all your work. Keep up the great work!
bro?! senior nco? that explains why our mil is useless. get a real job. mil is welfare that you have to show up for
I've got to admit, Brass Facts is growing on me.
I grew up an Army brat and then enlisted at 17. My government service ended after 15 years.
You know how "set in its ways" our military can be.
While I agree that bolt guns are not made to be utilized as battle rifles on the modern battlefield.
However, bolt guns are still the most accurate weapons. My bolt gun is my sniper rifle and 1 of my AR-15s serves as a battle gun, along with 1 of my handguns.
So, keep up the good work.
@@notlisted-cl5lsthink you’re on the wrong side of RUclips. Seeing you as you comment negative things on most of brass facts videos lol. Nerd
Your mom goes to college.
Paul Harrel has an actual body count. He's been in and survived self defense encounters. I'd have him on my side for sure lol.
I would want him just because he is a legit outdoorsman who knows how to survive in the woods.
this dude ..ha "body count" ..yea I bet but not in kills lmao
@@JMurccyeah, he shot a guy that tried to run him over in his truck in NE Oregon.
@@JMurcc My dude, Paul Harrell has not only been in the Marines, but the man's been through actual self defense situations involving a gun. You speak like someone who has never been punched in the mouth, get checked.
a mid week dose of brass facts? a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one
Men will look at this and say “Hell Yea”
hell yea
Hell yea
Hell yeah
I saw this on my feed and actually said fuck yeah
Hell yea
A fantastic milestone, congratulations!
thanks man, good luck in your journey.
@@BrassFacts 💪
@@CDOESjust went and checked you out…subbed! 👍🏼
Congratulations, your content is some of the best on this side of RUclips. I really appreciate your realistic opinions on equipment and how you don’t kiss up to brands.
I came for the LAARP videos and stayed for the dog. I love my Nova in NODS patch. Well done sir
Living well and planning on retirement is the best prepping answer ever. Very based.
Congrats - you and Hop are my fave YT team-up. Better emphasis on info/analysis, less "comedy," is a welcome change of pace from most guntuber channels.
Moving to a rural area is probably the best thing you can do for yourself and your family as long as your can keep generating income and can establish some new friendships. Your kids will hate it but when they grow up they will thank you many times over for it.
You should do another with Hop explaining your backpack contents for the Boog / SHTF
Hola amigo! We been watching your videos for a good while now. I live here in Northern Baja California Mexico, in the high mountain ranges which extend from the California Western United States into all the Baja California Mexico peninsula. Here we are airgun aficionados! We feel your pain of the commie government which here in Mexico is not as easy to implement their left wing agenda due to that majority of Mexican people are conservative Catholics and Patriots as well. We agree with most all the conservative Americans and see how this nightmare is all planned by the powers that be. You'll be surprised how many conservative Catholic and Protestant Americans/Canadians have moved here. My props to you is that you talk and discern possibilities and situations with common sense, unlike the other guys on RUclips that feel like they only talk doomsday scenarios and push you to buy their products. Thank you for your advice to all of us that just want to be prepared and protect our families. Greetings from Tecate, Baja California Mexico 🇲🇽🇺🇸
cOMmiEs. Get a grip lol.
@@djshumoomoo4075 It's commies, and they get the wall, not a grip.
PURA RAYA ALAV, TU Y TUS PINCHE LISMOSNEROS VALEN VRGA PURO CHIHUAHUA REPRESENTANDO EL CUBANO
@@djshumoomoo4075 learn your history. Mexico’s Christeros War was fought over the communist sympathizing government trying to ban Catholicism with force and executing priests and Catholics that were caught practicing their religion. He has historic precedent to be concerned about commies.
@@djshumoomoo4075said the guy with a commie profile picture 😂😂😂. You are legitimately delusional man.
Seriously enjoyed this entire video. Your clear honesty and “tism” are what keep me coming back.
Congrats brother!!! I really enjoy drifting off the reality road of the world for a bit while watching you brother.
Agreed on airsoft. It's great for testing out gear, team building, and it has SOME outstanding benefits for training, but it can build some serious bad habits too. BTW, your TP9 is my favorite awful gun.
yeah it's truly awesomely terribly cool
Any thoughts on B&T’s new TP380? It was remarkably smaller than the tp9 with nearly same capability.
@@thejohnhend looks dope, but probably only worth it in full auto. Besides, who are they even making this thing for? I’m imagining Bond villain henchmen in leather jackets and turtlenecks, sexy female assassins, and ninjas. Maybe daywalker vampire hunters.
Congrats man, you absolutely deserve it. Hands down my fav channel on youtube
Congrats Brass! Some of the best all around content on here. Not just what, not just how, and not just why.....what, how, and why!
I still have a hard time believing this channel isn’t bigger than it is, everything is very well done and thought out. Beats the hell out of regurgitated press releases and shooting at whatever is on sale at dollar general. Keep up the good work, 200k will be here before you know it
Your channel is awesome. Glad you made 100k. You totally deserve it.
Gratz to ya, Brass! Love the content as always, and here's to however many more subs/vids/years/what-have-you of content!
Well deserved, congrats!
Congratz on 100k! You deserve it man, well done and here's to another 100k in the future!
Congrats on 100K! Well-deserved!
thanks man, and thanks being around for most of it.
It is an absolute pleasure to watch your videos my guy. Especially the longer ones where you just talk about interesting shit. Thank you
Congrats man! Well deserved and keep up the great work.
Congrats on 100k! Well deserved!
I feel the exact same about flashlights and I’m glad someone else said something. For my use case unless I’m literally using the flashlight every day for work(like a cops weapon mounted light) I cannot justify buying more expensive than a streamlight protac or HL
Great videos man. Awesome reviews and theoretical scenario assessments. Looking forward to future videos from you and hop.
Congrats on the 100K my man. I've gotten a lot of good info from your videos.
Get the next dog now! Having an older dog helps with the training. Both my older dogs didn’t like other dogs but they came around to having a sibling and they pass on some of their good traits that you will be reminded of after they pass. Congrats on 100K!!
Congrats on 100k, been whatching for a good while! Looking forward to whats next. As a lefty with experience with stocked pistols bouncing brass off my forhead i was reluctant of the raider but after your video i jumped on one now after 2k rounds i am loving my 1st true pdw its so convenient compared to a broke down 10.3 in a tennis racket bag not to mention my work vehicle, trade and personality doesnt scream tennis player.
Love the vibes in your videos man. You should make a playlist with the music you use in your vids.
Love the transparency in the Q&A. Nothing like watching channels from true patriots grow and succeed, congrats!
Congrats Brassy! Well deserved!
Hell yeah, 100k! You absolutely deserve it. What's next, the Nova Group 10k special? Keep it up!
Killing it fam!!! Awesome videos!
the only ammo membership worth it is Target Sports USA one. It's only $100 a year for free shipping and 5-10% off ammo prices. The savings from even a few small orders pay for the membership.
Congrats on 100,000 Subs...!
Brass, Your Hard Work "Definitely Earns It and Your Content Merits The Attention...!" 👏👏👏👍👍🧨😎
Great conversation and congratulations on your 100k subscribers!
oh wow, you already hit 100k? i coulda sworn not even a couple of days ago you had 78k. good job man, love your channel!
21:50 I can tell you why. It's one thing to desire basic weapon illumination on a defensive firearm, its another to want the best possible performance. We have weapon lights for 2 major reasons, PID and disorientation, that are offset by 2 unpredictable variables: photonic barriers and distance.
Sure, the costs are getting up there but that's the only downside at this point. You are much better off with better horsepower and ergos if you can afford it, but this is definitely not one of those items to go into debt for and you can work your way up from basic lights.
Been here since you were below 10k. You deserve it man. You are a gem to the community
Keep it up, your videos are literally the best part of my work day
Congrats man!, your a man of the people guntuber!
Well deserved. Congratulations.
Idk know you in person... but you seem like that super nice kid who offers to help everyone else with their homework. Keep it up.
Well deserved man. 👏
Cool channel , Its good to see a young person that has an interesting thought process actually. You have helped me make a few changes of direction, thanks for that.
Awsome content.
I live up the road from you in idaho.
I live in a very rural area and would like to hear your input regarding the unique charector of wrol or preparedness in general for those of us that are already living where the sherriff or fire department would be 1/2 hour or more away in good times. Not to mention ems or paramedic .
One aspect i have considered is the management of those people that leave the urban areas in search of food or fuel etc during wrol.
"I don't think it's a scam, it's insurance".
That's what insurance is.
USCCA policies have a clause that their policy doesn't cover illegal action. "Well that makes sense" you might say. Except it means that one person at the insurance company gets to decide whether you were in the right or wrong and whether the policy will pay for your defense before you even go to trial. You may very well have been able to convince a jury of self defense but if you can't convince USCCA then they won't give you a red cent out of that policy you paid for.
Congrats on the 100K. Love ur channel
hyped for that AK video, Congrats on the well earned 100k!
Thanks for what you do for us who can't, Keep 'em coming!
If you do end up paying extra for something like the 77gr TMK, it matches perfectly to the Elcan’s BDC (but in yards), zeroed with +0.5 MOA when shot from an 11.5”.
On a note about flashlights: i had a Streamlight ProTac on my AR with the pressure switch and all that hot stuff.
It was fine until i picked it up one day and the pad didnt kick the light on until the third press.
I now have an Arisaka 300 scout body with a Malkof head and Surefire D-07 tailcap with a surefire pressure switch. Its a sample size of one, but prior experience with a Streamlight Strion and this experience with the ProTac pushed me to the higher end light. I currently have 1 light between 3 uppers because i can only shoot one at a time, but still.
Very much enjoy your stuff, especially the long format videos about philosophy.
Piecemeal commenting: the 16” Criterion Hybrid 6.5 CM with JP full mass high pressure BCG is a fantastic combo. Relatively light for an AR 10 barrel, but consistently allowed me to shoot precisely out to 1k at a local PRS match, enough to win the gas gun division against 20”+ 308s and such. And it handles well enough for carbine work… but obviously not as good as an 11.5” 5.56 for that trade space.
Marine infantry vet, been out for 10 years, couple deployments. Your channel, reviews and skills are on point. My gf can’t comprehend why I sit here with a chest rig on the couch and watch a random dude talk about gear haha. Keep doing your thing man.
Congrats on 100k dude!
Good stuff man. Congratulations.
You must keep the mountains in the background. It's absolutely beautiful!
Also, regarding the MRE’s: there is a newer one that is pretty darn good in its own right. It’s a hash browns and bacon one. The blueberry cobbler is very good, so is the cherry-blackberry cobbler. I would be happy if I could find them by themselves in a store, they are that good.
+1 to the idea of a sleep system/concealment video, if you're willing to put in the effort to make such a video I would 100% watch that
Looking forward to Brassfacts Friday 🎉🎉🎉
danm man congrats! id have assumed you were well over 100k by now.
Congrats!!! I love the elcan too...
Congrats on 100k, you well deserved it. Keep it up!
Thank you for your service...the mount lip variety.
Congrats on 100k, boss!
Congrats on the 100k subscribers, you've been a really great source of quality information for a while. I appreciate your earnest approach where as others tend to have too much entertainment and not as much in-depth thought on a process or product.
congrats man. well deserved
I love dis man's. I'd like to see maybe more gear videos. Plate carriers or chest rigs that work with large rucks
Yo love your stuff
Thanks for answering my question at 43:15. Really appreciate it.
Nova may not seem like she likes other dogs around, but I can tell you that having a younger dog around can really do wonders with an older pup. I’ve got a 13 year old and she can still keep up with all the younger fosters that I get. Maybe reach out to a local rescue about fostering, it would be a great way to see how she does with another dog in the house
I know cotton rags are prefered, but I've been using blue "Tuff" shop paper towels to clean my guns with ballistol. Been doing this for years, but then on my last range trip with a new guy, he said Paper towels are abrasive and I'm damaging my bore and scratching my finish.
Now I can't sleep, have I been sand papering my guns?
The ideal of 3d-printed guns is that you only have to win one gunfight. An FGC9 is definitely lower on the totem pole than a PSA AR, but it falls into the same Gear*Training*Luck equation you mention earlier.
I remember I first found your channel through your “Practical Survival/ SHTF” series. It was frustrating to hear because at the time I was very caught up in the “OMG GUYS THE WORLDS COMING TO AN END TOMORROW!!!” Mindset, but your well articulated and measured wet blanketing made me realize how wrong I was. In other words, you’re smart, thanks for making me less ignorant
Congratulations on 100k, love the content keep it up l.
Have you ever thought of doing a review of the 1-10 swampfox lpvo
Congrats brotha
Consider making your own bonded soft point ammo. 55gr, 62gr, or 75gr Speer Gold Dot projectiles are very reasonably priced when available. I recommend N135 powder especially for short barrels with cans. Clear nail polish can be used to seal case mouth and primer pocket. I wipe a little over the primer after seating. For the case mouth I seat the bullets long then wipe a little around the bullet seat to final depth wipe off excess then crimp.
Congrats achieving 100k.
Michigan would one of those places were it would be literally ran by militias or gangs in a partial SHTF.
I dont think 300blk is dying at all. Brass case 300blk is selling for 60cpr while 5.56 is 55cpr right now.
not yet, but consider what will happen if the brace ban goes through,.
Felt like last week when you had 30 to 40k subs, congrats!
Appreciate the content, keep it up
I actually prefer pencil barrels nowadays even with a can. I’ve never had issues with mine losing accuracy even running a can and dumping 400ish rounds in a couple hours
Congratulations man 👍🏼
Man I remember the first vid of yours I watched was something about 18” SPR builds like 2-3 years ago and you said something I disagreed with. Now I’ve been hate watching 20-30 min videos of a guy I hate just so I can see his dog at the end.
Love you, Ass Facts. Keep it up buddy.
Im not a bullpup guy, but I’m actually giving the A3 Triad a try with one of my SBR lowers. 10-10.5” BRN-180 that’s shorter than a P90. I like that the Triad’s length of pull is on the shorter side for a bullpup. May turn out to have horrible ergos, but being able to use an existing SBR is too intriguing.
@Brassfacts , I also use an Elcan on my primary carbine and have been singing the praises of the Flux Raider since the first MP17. We seem to have similar perspectives. So don’t write the triad off yet ;)
Congrats bro!
Congrats! One of my favorite channels! Love your style and thought process.
Any thought about you and Hop jumping on the Unsubscribe podcast with Baddie and Eli?
I don't really know what that is sorry :(
@@BrassFacts np man. Congrats on 100k. You deserve way more.
