My name is Jacob and I run Exodus Knife & Tool and Beachin Tactical. As a Combat Vet from the 173rd Airborne, I learned a lot about what gear worked, and what was a gimmick.
I hope to continue to grow through training and practice in both the tactical venue as well as survival, to give an honest and balanced set of reviews and tutorials for the well rounded prepper.

This sounds like more boot strap mentality. Through most of history, people have had to make do with their station in life. This constant stririving for more instead of being happy with what God has given us is damaging to the soul. I'm not saying we shouldn't try our best with what we have, but not every one can be on top. We should be striving for a country where a productive job is enough for a man to take care of his family comfortably.
@Lacunan I may have agreed with you in a healthy economy where one man could work and his wife could stay at home and he could afford a good house, 2 vehicles, a boat, and a healthy retirement. If a person settles for the job they have and makes excuses while his wife also works and he has to send his children to be educated in a government daycare chances are they are just making excuses- There is a difference between working extra to improve your situation and taking advantage of gaps in a market and being dissatisfied with what God has given you. HOWEVER! I agree, if a person is both dissatisfied with what God gave them and their position AND they are unwilling to invest in themselves then yes- they are a sluggard and it could be said that it was "damaging to the soul"
@Thepreppersbunkeroutdoors I suppose my problem is more with having to engage with an evil system in order to overcome it. I don't have an answer or solution to the problem, and I don't want to come off as whiny, I specifically have a problem with investing in the stock market because it feels like gambling to me. I don't have a problem with people investing in themselves. I think people should be able to be comfortable with themselves if they are trying their best, and they haven't made it to where they want to be. They may never reach their goal. That is the problem with manosphere content. Not everyone can be a millionaire or even well off. Home ownership is already becoming a pie in the sky dream for many.
Have to get new tires damn this has been top of my grail knife list since it first drop.

@@johanesgo8096 🤣
Agree. From Denmark. Mora is a part of my life. Also bought their kitchen knives. Just wonderful and good price. Extremely good steel for all their knives - workhorses. Don’t understand why they do this ?
@wvideoyahoodk man made products are simply expensive. Mora might be the most automated knife brand on the planet and they are surely government subsidized- But when you have actual people working for you and you sell smaller quantities of something it's simply going to be more expensive.
Which knife are you selling?
@@kentbenton the gso3.5
Joex is best.
Magazines are so inexpensive for ARs at least, I don't see the point in saving $1-$2. Lancer mags, Magpul gen 3s, H&K steel mags and Okay Surefeeds are my favorite and all sub $15 magazines. I like Lancers as I do color coordinate different colored magazines for different rifles that like and are zeroed for different grain weights and types for my different ARs.

Poor people are going to be hit the hardest in a stock market crash. How people can not realise that is insane. If they think they are going to keep living life like normal during a stock market crash because they don't have investment's is about as short sighted as it gets. There's also the fact that if you're the type of person who is financially literate enough to have investments in the stock market, there's a good chance that that is NOT where the entirely of your wealth lies. There will be backups in other forms of assets that the rich can fall back on, which keep them out of poverty, that the poor simply don't have. And it's in these situations where the "have nots" really start imploding, and becoming dangerous. I personally think a huge crash is inevitable. They way things are going in the western world are just not sustainable. Something's gonna give sooner or later. And some people are in for a rude wake up call when the cheque finally comes.

I said this exact phrase in a conversation with my brother this morning. SO true!
A pocket knife, huh?😂
One big way yo not stsy poor is to own old collectible brands of tractors/ farm equipmemt instrad of paying absurdly high prices for modern day tractors and other farming equipment. Nice old school tractor in the background ground. Also drive older vehicles instead of staying a slave to making high monthly vehicle payments.
We have too many little socialist puppets living amongst us. Perfect little nieve slaves. Molded to be perfect servants in our think tank universities.
i'll also say, side gigs can look like many things. it doesn't have to be working some insane second manual labor job or burning out your vehicle trying to dash around the hellscape city. I tried comics, it didn't work, now I'm an author on the side. all yall are an expert at something that someone else isn't, and that's where you fit in to help keep scooting everything forward a little, and find people who'll compensate you for where you can add value.
@@chancepaladin 👆🏻🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
I live in the country. I'm as free as you can possibly be today. I might have to drive to get to the store, but that's why I live here.
That's absolutely right. The government came to my state back in the 50"s to tell people they were poor that didn't even know it.
It’s never too big
a lot of new folks aren't familiar with 'false ceilings' or whatnot. that's where the meme comes from with franco saying 'first time?' first timers watch the bottom fall out 3x, 4x, and are like 'how low can you go', and you respond, 'zoom out'. its an eye opener for newbies. when crashes come they nasty and the only people that can make moves are the ones who saved up. wish someone had told me this before the 12 crash. i had no idea how bad it could be.
Your so right. Since I've lived well below my means and increased my food production every year, im ready for the deals that are inevitable. No shame in profiting from whats coming.
It's insane. When i moved to remote Appalachia in 09, id never seen such widespread poverty mindset. Back in the city. I called it the ghetto brain and simply avoided it. Here, it's everywhere
It's true sadly
It wasn't like that till the government got involved.

Its not over yet. Two more months for it to get even worse.

Hey Jacob, I finally got my adventure craft/exodus 3. im very Happy with it and carrying it every day. Now could you tell me what angle the exodus 3 is has? Or what is the best i your opinion?
@M.W.2703 it comes from the factory close to 20 degrees. For me at about .021 bte that is a good balance but if a person isn't going to be doing as much bushcrafting you could drop to 15 degrees with a convex and get more sliciness but of course less edge stability.

It was really great to hear some of your background man and the evolution of knives available at the time. Thanks jacob!
@HeavySetTactical409 yeah man!
Jacob can't agree more buddy thanks for your content and always being direct man.
He should have been in jail years ago
I am so glad I purchased that Bear Forest Colab-auction (you know the one) 2 years ago...that was a steal!! Hard to beat a 1 of a kind/holy grail knife coming from a knife guy like you. That knife should have been easily $150-200 more than what I paid.
@uncleberdo5706 dude that was an amazing score!!! And 2 years ago the market was a whole different place!
Two issue I have had with my ar-7 was making sure the clip was loaded properly; the primer end of the round is against the back of the clip. The second issue was holding the gun by the magazine. I have run 400 hundred runs through mine with out cleaning with no problems. Use CCI Mini Mags Copper Plated Round nose Hi Velicity. I have had some issues with hollow points. That was unknown ammo.
Yup! I learned those things quickly. I hope yours remains reliable with good ammo.
Well said. Great video 👌
@@krakentacticaledc thanks!
Short answer - because their AKs suck balls.
I have heard that, the AK situation looks pretty abysmal. In fact after quite a few classes with AK dudes idk that I would be interested in the platform at all anymore.
I just learned that over 85 employees lost their jobs at the Franklinville factory where OKC is based out of. It was a buyout for the name, nothing else. It's the equivalent of what happened with Camillus, the name was bought but anything with the "Camillus" name is just crap. Here in Canada, OKC knives are getting harder and harder to come by unless you're willing to pay extra for them on ebay. I just got an RTAKII 125th Anniversary Collector's Edition knife and I'm treasuring that thing!
So long as OKC can start employing American's again and start making knives I'll be happy. I certainly expected to hear about new offerings from them by now. Okc should never have been in New York, I wish they could have kept some of the better employees but with OKC's absolutely abysmal reputation for quality and their absolutely terrible location for doing business I understand the decision. Cool score on the RTAK!
@@Thepreppersbunkeroutdoors No I agree. If it was a Chinese company buying OKC then it would definitely be a familiar story. Honestly I've never heard of BRK, never had any of their knives, so I can't speak about it.
@DoloresVillatoro-ho5jg so they are actually a knife distribution/ wholesale company. Sssooo who knows how it'll go!
So, weird...I happened upon this video because i wanted to know more about black scout survival because my better half watches him. But I found this because I was looking on wiki and couldn't find anything, but I found this video. I'm really confused about this. Black scout is calling you about suing you? Is there another video prior to this that explains more? I'm just wondering where this stemmed from.
There is a whole Playlist I have here on him. Long story short online Rod told some lies that I knew personally were lies, claiming he outsourced all his products to China because an American brand wasn't conservative enough. I called him out, showed the proof, and here we are. All documented in other videos here but that's the synopsis.
Great video.
Even if everything just kept going, there's an OCEAN of knife makers now its sooo discouraging 😂😂 back before Forged in Fire i wanted to be a bladesmith now literally EVERY Tom Dick and Harry is a knife maker and they're all great😂😂😂 try and compete with THAT in this economy ✊️🔥✌️💚
@@Canadian_Craftsman yeah it's a hard place to start for sure!!!
@Thepreppersbunkeroutdoors it's just not profitable anymore for your the same reasons your saying imagine starting from the ground up trying to compete with such epic work and bottom dollar prices
@Canadian_Craftsman it's just not realistic unless you have the $ to float for awhile and the cash and the connections to get the promotion.
Inflation is rediculous. I agree with you to a point, but, I feel that a lot of these “custom” knifemakers are grossly overcharging.
@basemandog what does it mean to overcharge? Does it mean that they can afford a vacation? Does it mean they have a nice house? A nice car? Maybe a jet ski or a dirt bike? Supply and demand dictate value and a person's cost of living dictates cost. If a maker is grossly overcharging they won't sell. If they are selling they aren't overcharging. If 10,000 people want a knife from a single custom maker every single day his prices need to be 10,000x higher. It's all a balance.
@@Thepreppersbunkeroutdoors I understand the balance. I also understand supply and demand. Maybe I am mistaken, but, A knife is a tool. No knife is worth $500+. None. Not when an esee with an amazing guarantee will do the same job. For a lot less money. I recently bought one of your knives. Exodus 4 from white river.. I was excited to get it. Feels good in the hand….. I was disappointed that it didn’t come very sharp. And after sharpening…. that it cut no better than an old western bird and trout knife I have been carrying for years. I guess it’s because I don’t buy knives to display on a shelf.
@basemandog I'm shocked that you got a ex4 that wasn't very sharp. In the process of getting it sharp it could have altered the edge geo- because if it's right an ex4 will outcut an old western or schrade bird and trout all day long. You say no knife is worth over $500 because it's a tool- and that's fine for you. If you were a multi billionaire and you wanted a tool that was also a work of art your concept of the value of a tool could be much different. A tools value can also be dictated by how much it's used. If you use a knife every day the cost in initial purchase price per use will likely be irrelevant. For me a good example is my DiamondBack Country Knives Razorback x which has a 9" blade but weights about as much as an esee 6 or something- it's WONDERFULLY made, it feels like a small belt knife on the hip, it chops wonderfully, and it still batons well/ isn't flexible like a machete. Value can be based on a lot of things. Anyways, we should get that ex4 squared away!
@basemandog however, that is ALL besides the point- your original assertion is that custom makers are grossly overcharging. How much a tool is worth to you has nothing to do in support or opposition of that assertion. That's like saying that a work of arts value should be based on the canvas and paint that is used on it. What a custom maker charges and whether or not they are over charging has nothing to do with the practical value of a tool- it's just supply and demand.
