Just FYI, Milwaukee has a long history in the US, even back before WWII. Of course, they are owned by a holding company now, and they do not make everything in the US. That being said, they have several manufacturing facilities still in the US, with I believe three of those in Mississippi. They have an enormous facility under construction in North Central Mississippi right off of Interstate 55. I drive past it pretty often.
I have TBG (Tactical Baby Gear) carrier and backpack. Son is 5 now so I don't use the carrier obviously, but I still rock my "diaper bag" that has a spot for a plate inside. Love it.
My mom asked me what to get for my cousin's new husband. I told her he is an outdoorsman so EDC gear would be great. I then had to explain EDC to her. But gift guides are great for grandma's and aunts too.
Thanks Mike, I don’t know how many years have passed of me watching these, but it’s been a lot and always a treat. Love my Stanley thermos I saw on here about 5 years back. Hope you’ve been well! 🤙🏿
I'm thankful for my family and i think about you and sei from time to time some of my first you tube dudes so many years ago thanks man hope your fam has a great holiday season.
Mike, dude another awesome video. Definitely tell you are prepper, shooter, dad and husband because these videos Definitely relate to most of us. Happy Thanksgiving brother!
Great stuff! Definitely some things I’ll be looking into, especially those boots! Nice traditional look with a decent price tag. (Long post about jacket suggestions incoming, well mostly pockets:) As far as jackets go I lean toward traditional materials, so I’d suggest making a waxed canvas with a wool lining. Maybe make the lining removable for laundering/warmer weather? Also, I find sleeve pockets very useful and they add a nice flare to the style! If it were me I’d put a Field Notes-size zipper pocket with a front panel that could hold a pen, pencil (carpenter size?), and small flashlight/mini ruler. Or have the zipper pocket on one sleeve and the other stuff on the opposite with a snap-over flap. Double chest snap-over pockets always look good on waxed canvas too, maybe with at least one side-zipping pocket behind them as long as it was designed so as to not affect water resistance. One final note: if you do make a sleeve pocket, consider having it zip down to close and having the zipper 1/4 inch away from the edge of the pocket. It’ll stay closed better and is easier to open by grabbing the cuff to stiffen the sleeve (I hope that made sense?). It’ll also help keep things in the pocket as you close it because your whole hand will be in the way of stuff falling out and that 1/4 inch of pocket behind the zipper will act as a kind of flap to help hold things in too. Alright, enough of me rambling about pockets. Keep up the adventuring and I hope you all stay safe and healthy!
On a side note, I missed the opportunity to purchase your flannel line at Vertex. I waited, and waited, and waited like an idiot. They were available not long ago but waited for around Black Friday. Well, 2 weeks ago they were all but gone 2 weeks ago. Hopefully they continue the line because I'd like to order 2 color patterns.
Potential nalgene replacement is the Owala, that's what my wife uses because she doesn't like plastic. Same cap style as the OTF but better. I still like nalgene because they're so durable and the measurement is handy for camping.
Love these and your gear review videos! With you being a new dad and myself being one in the new future, would love to see what "baby gear" you'd recommend!
We come here for the rambling, so please don't apologize. Another American company you may know about is Refuge Medical. Love there stuff and there moral's.
My recommendation is I want the wax canvas jacket based off the game, “the last of us”, but I needed a 3 or 4 x size and tall. My friend from work has it and Iooks great.❤
Some people have to be consumers so the rest of us can learn what we should and shouldn’t consume. I’m grateful for your reviews, and others. Torque Test Channel and Project Farm for example. And you’re correct, I watch these Christmas gift videos for myself🤣 Jacket suggestion! Please utilize Lamilite or Climashield insulation. Absolutely no polyester; nylon, ripstop nylon, or canvas outer. I love the pass through pockets for access to your appendix carry. You remember the old Integrity base jacket in that Kryptek snake camo? It’s leagues above in quality over the new Integrity base liner jackets. It was better insulated and fit better, the material was tougher and the fleece side panels were higher quality.
@@LastLineOfDefense fuck me is that what I paid? Christ I'm a dumbass no wonder my wife yells at me for buying stupid shit (other than the 2nd gen taco on 40s)
I would definitely buy your holster if you made it for the Walther PDP compact :((( I run an olight baldr mini and not many companies make that combo and I’d love to support your holster company by buying one or a few :)
Information is at www.llod.us/gifts - there’s no real repetition in this video though, so statistically it’d be impossible to have the same amount of info in half the time, though you could get there watching at 2x. I didn’t make the rules though.
Mike you get small commissions from affiliate links but have you seen all this people making reels promoting “high ticket affiliate marketing”? They say they make 5-6 figures a month working 2 hrs a day. it all sound bs
Yeah, that all revolves around markets that I have no interest in promoting (ie finance, luxury travel, etc). Most of those people's jobs also revolve around email marketing as well. They basically make a living out of jipping people out of money that are either also trying to get rich quick, or spending way too much money on stuff they shouldn't be (which is why the companies can afford to pay the lucrative commissions). Long story short - it's basically scamming people and profiting off of it. Not a traditional scam, but pretty sleazy still, imo.
Ah, yes. My favorite Christmas tradition. Mike’s annual video where I find things to buy for myself.
You’re not alone, haha
Facts!
This is the way
Nothing truer has ever been said
Noone can treat you better than you. 😅
I love watching these videos and pretending to shop for family and loved ones. 😂

Automatic 👍🏼 for Cooper and Dad thumbnail 😊
Try Fenix headlamps/flashlights. They're rechargeable, but also use swappable batteries. Plus they use USB-C, which is great.

Keep these up Mike, I love finding new things to make my life better or my job easier
Wool lined wax canvas jacket please! also where is that deer orange green camo Santa hat from?
Thanks Mike, I don’t know how many years have passed of me watching these, but it’s been a lot and always a treat. Love my Stanley thermos I saw on here about 5 years back. Hope you’ve been well! 🤙🏿

Always a good video when Mike rambles late at night.
Do you have a Diamondback code?
I don’t, but they’re in sale for Black Friday currently!
Thank god Mike came out with this.. people have been asking me for a week what I want for Christmas now I just have to send them this video
I wait for this video and buy my husband gift. He’s always blown away by the gifts he never knew he wanted.
Love my yeti chug cap but it’s a two handed thing for sure
I bought some working hands cream after your recommendation. It is changing my life, tysm!

Now i know what to tell my girl when she asks what i want for Christmas

Owala makes a great water bottle with small opening, also battle bottle is sweet think u need to add one, they make big and think 32 Oz now
No ideas for a jacket, but a lot of ideas for the perfect flash light 😏
Paravalve Nalgene lid has a flip-up straw and is great!
Working hands is the shit. I have eczema, and that stuff is the only stuff that works.
Yesss... show me how to spend my money. My yearly tradition 😂

My brain is happy, my wallet is sad. Lets goooo another one of these videos is always good.
@LastLineOfDefense What is the finish on the wall? It looks incredible!

We come here for the rambling, so please don't apologize. Another American company you may know about is Refuge Medical. Love there stuff and there moral's.
Very nice gifts .
Finally.
Cbi offroad is awesome and in my home town Idaho falls!
No doubt you'd design an amazing jacket. But I really want a sweatshirt that has a bigger opening at the neck.
The best video of the year, thanks Mike. 🤘🏼

Flannel Rules

When is your video with\about yours LX already comes out???) Cant wait
Cool🎄
Missing The Perfect Bungee
Tons of great ideas, thanks!
Vertx needs to offer tall sizes in their shirts or make the arm length longer.
Love it Mike! Welcome back. Happy Thanksgiving.
Appreciate you Mike, great information, thanks for your time!
Love the flannels. I have all 3. When's the Woodland cammo one coming out?😉 Omw to buy a beanie rn
Maybe I missed it. Did you mention where the camo santa hat is from?
I think on last years video he says something about it
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🦃🦃🦃
Now it is the Christmas season.
Still waiting on the video review of sausage mcgriddles.
Nice. Merry Christmas God bless
Michael, we buy stuff because we trust your opinion. Not because we feel you're pushing stuff. I just like cool sh*t. So thanks.
Is the “thankful” code on your LLOD site active now? When entering it says not recognized.
Ooops good to go now!
the new m12 insider is kinda nice, I carry that in the rig now.
It is, but $300 for a bare tool, especially an m12, is pretty wild
@@LastLineOfDefense fuck me is that what I paid? Christ I'm a dumbass no wonder my wife yells at me for buying stupid shit (other than the 2nd gen taco on 40s)

Hey bro! Thoughts on the olight warrior nano

Second love the list!

19:31 “Joel”
That’s the one
You could edit this down to half the time and still have the exact same amount of information

When are you going to get a sebenza?
They are nice, but they don’t really move me
what about your hat!
And here I am. Unable to stay away yet again and will probably spend money. Yet again
