Yes, what's great is when people actually video what they're doing, no copy 'n paste googling misinformation then. :crazy: :sarcasm:

That's why I always emphasize, you guys are just getting to watch me do whatever and the trials and tribulations I go through to get a result. Your mileage may vary and my situation might not be yours, this is not a how to per se.

Yeah, and shortcuts are always welcome!
There isn't a day where I don't learn something, or stuff something up. That's the best university, real life, but if someone else can do that for me and it's a shortcut... :drinks:

Mate I got heaps of great advice from Youtube. I'd never have ever thought I could deep bore a piece of 4140, make, ream and rifle my own barrels with a button, chamber and thread anything I want, make springs, .
I've got a dual trade and engineering background and it's taken me to other countries, but I'm not a machinist and had to teach myself. Unlike an internet forum where fakes can hide, someone posting up videos of how to do something and proving it by hanging their arses out are priceless. Some of these guys put up procedures and advice that's easily proven, and it costs me nothing.


Did you mention your PooTube channel name as I don't know if I have seen it or not.

You can learn near anything from that place but of course have to sift through lots of crap to find the good s**t.

I tried, but can't watch that "Edge of the Outback bloke", something about the arrogance in his voice, whether he means it or not. He stated in one that I watched that he gets criticized about how much he spends on the gear like thermals and such.
"I don't drink drink or smoke", I thought he was going to end with "I don't touch girls"
He sounds like those born again christians that have to try and convert everyone else after seeing the light.

Then I notice he can't even shoot with his eyes open and I thought we all did that as the first marksmanship training, especially the hunter that needs good target acquisition.

He's an expert mate. Stop giving him such a hard time. I mean, he flaunts a suppressor on 99% of his video thumbnails. That makes him better than you all. :sarcasm:
Nah I can't handle him either. And I can't stand people that feel the need to show their credibility by posting actual animal kills. Or those who enjoy watching it. The more you enjoy it, the less you do it, I reckon

Yes I have a video channel, but it's in my real name as it was set up for me by a mate and as yet, it's probably not findable. So what do I know? :allegedly:

I like the shot and downed animal to be included because it is a big part in the full hunt and it gets a bit boring seeing a full hunt but no shot filmed as lots miss filming the climax and it would be a lot of missed deer if they tried to film it.

I like when blokes like Nature Exposed and Dylan Smith (Wilerlife) get great close footage of deer and the shot because of their good equipment and deer-rich properties.

He's got a day job and the pest control is a sideline like his channel.

Sure pros have all the fruit. It's all tax write off's and suppressors. More power to those that are authorised. If you can't stand him, easy don't watch him.
