#FieldcraftSurvival - Krátké a kreslené filmy
I was a Field Radio Operator ( MOS 2531, now 0621) in the Marine Corps, then, I cross decked on over to the Army's 75th Ranger Regiment, however, now that I AM a Veteran in the Civilian World, I honestly never thought how important HAM and CB AM/ FM Radio was so important to Me in a Survivalist Prepper mindset. Thank You, Sergeant Major and Josh for the Video and It's accompanying Information and Intelligence ( I2).
Where would a rookie start.. wanting something bulletproof I can put on my plate carrier and fit in a pouch got to be able to screw on the antenna booster.. something simple to program where would I start ?
I am a HAM radio operator and I do hope you all are aware that these small low power VHF/UHF handheld radios can be Jammed very easily when SHTF...!
@@AlexCausey thank you for the info.. is there something other than a ham that you would able to get to at least be able to listen to traffic ?
HAM operators are HUGELY important in emergency situations. When cell phone towers go down, they can do emergency comms for first responders.
*Thank~You for Your Service!*
My Dad was a Field Radio Operator in the Army in Eiretrea (now Ethiopia) from 1946-48, then became an MP there until 1950. He loved that country & its ppl, and truly admired Haile Selassie (so much that he & my Mom named their 1st dog that, lol). He was a GENUINE "equalist", NOT one of these phony, commie Feminists, and treated me exactly like my brother who was one year older. I was usually the only girl in most of my math & science classes, and the ONE time I complained to him, "BUT, Daaaaaadddddd, BOYS DON'T *LIKE* SMART GIRLS!" (said with my hands on my hips & in that *HORRIBLE, WHINY VOICE that ONLY TEEN-AGE GIRLS CAN DO),* and after 15 seconds of stone silence & not a MUSCLE MOVING, HE BURST OUT LAUGHING & said, *"YEP".* Of course, I found that SMART boys liked SMART girls, but that's a whole different story... Anyway, BEFORE he let me get my learner's permit for driving, I had to demonstrate how to change a tire & put air in them, change the oil/oil filter, check all fluid levels, change the air filter, change the spark plugs (with non-pre-gauged: he made me look up the correct spacing in Chilton's), I even rebuilt a carburetor bc my bro was working on a '69 Impala. After ALL THAT, I ended up buying a brand new mini-truck bc I'd saved so much money it was a much better deal, lol. It was a manual transmission, bc I'm a control freak. And I got a truck bc I worked w/handicapped kids & got the court's permission to sign them out of the facility, so I'd take turns with them taking them out places & it was just easier to toss their wheelchairs in the back. (It was hilarious bc I live in SoCal & Disneyland used to be not too expensive, so I could afford to take them there, OR Knott's Berry Farm, or the movies, or the beach, but 99% of the time they wanted to just come over to my house [I was just 16 & still lived at home- plus one of my 'kids' was Deaf, so I was taking college classes & my folks AND my bro were ALSO learning sign language with me]. BUT my Dad put a CB in my truck. I had a *10pm curfew,* BUT I drove cross-country at 17, lol! I STILL HAVE THAT CB & STILL KNOW MORSE CODE. Sadly, it won't help me here in Calif, though. Our gov. has banned ALL repeater antennas. I do not know HOW he gets away with this crap. I do not know HOW his illegal election stands. They called the vote at 3pm with the other guy AHEAD by 70k votes, BUT they said that Newsom won... WTF? Every petition we've done has been rejected, even though we've gotten MORE THAN 2 MILLION SIGNATURES. None of the ppl in office have actually been elected. Weird, huh?
My Dad has been into HAM radio for most of his life. He was 14 or 15 when he first started developing an interest around 1960 and built his first radio from a kit, he is 75 now. He turned his hobby into a career working as supervisor for our hometown's city wide police and emergency communications department. I was always fascinated to sit and watch him write out longhand as he translated Morse code like a champ. In that way he communicated with people all over the world. He has his group of cronies that meet same time, same channel almost every night. I am starting to appreciate the importance of HAM radio and may pursue a license of my own. I'd like to do so before Dad passes on to glean a bit of knowledge from him (no way I would ever understand all he knows), and perhaps inherit some of his cool gear too.
That’s really cool Lisa. Learn all you can as fast as you can before it’s too late.
You dad entered the program when you had to know Morse code. That separates the men from the boys. That was dropped with the multi-channel portable radio technology hit the field. I salute him because a lot of people have been saved by signals bouncing off the ionosphere and picked up by Ham operators and relayed to appropriate rescue services.

Get as much of his precious knowledge, experience abc memories that you can; I know first hand how it feels to have not taken that opportunity. Your father sounds very special.
Its wild to think this was recorded a week before Covid-19 happened in large effect to us in the states. Its amazing how many people are getting interested into comms and using it get prepared in the trying time. I’m out there for those looking for some extra knowledge on my channel in this time and I will be working with Mike and the Fieldcraft Team as we continue through this historic event.
Keep the batteries charged and the radios programmed.
What was the emergency frequency you mentioned?
Y’all check this dude out he’s the guy who inspired me to get my license!

Brandon Banchiere Thank you!
I was a Novice CW ham operator in middle school and let it lapse in college but 30 years later I found Mike and Josh about the same time, one because of the other, though don’t know which order. Keep the collabs coming - it’s gonna get hot out there this winter and we’ll need SHTF/WROL comms more than ever... Josh that video a few days ago with the tiny trash can Faraday cage is looking pretty good after DHS warned of EMP 🇺🇸🙏😎🎈✊💯
My Dad told me when I was a kid, "God gave you two ears and one mouth. You should listen twice as much as you talk." Receive more than you talk.
The problem with Discord is the same problem with Facebook: Privacy.
Excellent advise never thought about it like that
Lot of people saying that should take the advice themselves
I have an alligator radio, though.
Your dads an intelligent and wise man for understanding that concept … and an excellent father, for passing it along to you …
The rule of 3's. Turn your radio on on the hour every 3 hours for 3 minutes.......... (12 midnight, 3am, 6am, 9am, 12 midday, 3pm, 6pm, 9pm)
@@terminator3728 Using your radio this way saves your battery and allows others using the same system to know when others will be listening. 3 minutes every 3 hours gives you lots of days on your internal/external battery supply.

Thanks so much for having him on. I’m so happy to see good dudes come together for valuable info like this.
I did the same thing. I bought a small ham base station & a Baofeng Uv-5 two weeks before my ham exam. Motovation..Passed the exam.
( great exam study website..

All America Patriots should all have ham and CB radio we all had CBs n ham radios in the 70s.
I bought a CB radio and a pair of walkers. My trucker friend asked if I had an Antenna for my CB. I have to look into this.
I remember the company Heathkit where you could build your own ham radio.
I can’t wait to get mine.
Don't forget to use a SWR meter and tune your antenna..🗽
How do I get a cb????
Literally went “whaaaat?! It’s the crash course guy!” Josh is great, his videos helped me get my tech license in 48 hours.
Read my comment and share
I'm getting some strong Bill & Ted vibes here lol.
Excellent info, thanks!
Well it does sound like an excellent adventure!
Wild stallions
Dduuude nnoooo way!
Whooooaaaaa!
now i can't unsee it.
I followed Josh's utube channel and recently got my technician license via an on line test.This was very fortunate sinnce the cv19 issue shut down local in person testing. I am very greatful for Josh's efforts to help so many people.
Mike, I discovered Field Craft Survival by watching Vigilance Elite and I would like the opportunity to express my gratitude by saying God Bless you and everything dear in your life. Ive studied multiple videos you've provided and I have drawn the conclusion that the content you provide is TOP TIER. May you continue the course and with all hope you will be relentless in providing me the knowledge I need to see my family thru. Please respond. Thank You.
I found myself watching the whole video and didn't get bored with it. You guys were great and it looked like you had fun. Soak in all you can.
I hope you take this as a compliment because I've been a HAM operator for 25 years and an Extra class for at least 18 years. I also had a GMRS license and owned a repeater on a building at over 200 feet in the air. I have been subscribed for awhile and look forward to more content.
Let's be real. When SHTF, none of these regulations will matter. Be prepared.
Exactly. The government will not have the man power to enforce all those silly little laws. The government probably will disappear.
This is true but it's best to get the practice before it's needed. While the govt most likely wouldn't be persuing FCC violations during a full blown SHTF situation, there will most likely be a lead up to this.
Look at things now, the govt is printing money at a crazy rate, society is breaking down, politically we're in a terrible place and overall, many is broke and pissed. The govt will most likely go on the hunt for any money they can grab, be it with increased audits from the IRS, gutting different departments and possibly fines for things that used to be "not a big deal". Add to this the recent people getting involved in HAM and the unfortunately attitude the HAM community (mostly older) has towards newbies in general, I wouldn't be surprised if 65 year old Bob in his rec room radio station reports you to the FCC because "that guy doesn't have a license!" or "He hasn't said his call sign in 45 mins!".
It's a quick way to get screwed over that can be avoided with some quick paperwork. While I dont agree that the govt should have any place in what free citizens do or how they choose to communicate, a license gives you ample opportunity to practice the skills you need to know while in a stress free environment which will allow you to better operate your equipment when stress is the new daily normal.
Besides, you can just stop identifying yourself in the future should you want anonymity while on the air.
Basically, learn and do it properly now so you know how to do it professionally and competently later.
The problem is Ham radio is a community, if you are not a member you will be talking to yourself. They will help you in a real emergency or get you help but if your not licensed and try to operate for anything less than life or death emergency you will hit a brick wall.
The regulations won't matter but those who know how to use them will instantly see one who knows the regs (who he can trust) versus someone who obviously isn't a ham and can't be trusted. Information is going to be GOLD and if an older ham smells fish on you, you're done.
Regulations regulations??? We don't need no government regulations.... ⭐🗽🏁
Who could have imagined what the future would hold, I'm looking back at this from Friday Nov. 20th 2020 and SHTF is here.
Yes 🤔
Still time to buy a biolite stove/charger
Just got mine today. 😂
@@michaelmiller237 do those really work?
@@michaelmiller237 just read a review where it says it takes hours to charge the phone to 50%. While that is not spectacular it is worth it if you have gear that requires a recharge. I am going to seriously look more into it. I recommend the Big Blue 28w solar pack. I think I paid $50 or $60 for it. You could use the solar during the day and the stove at night to keep charges going. Thanks for the intel
Networking at its finest....!!
TWO amazing personalities in two important modalities of preparedness/awareness!!
Thank you both for what you are doing to educate the 'sponges' seeking knowledge... you express the information in a way that is digestible!!!

Hi Mike! Thank you for this video. As a newly licensed ham radio technician class and a wheelchair-bound person from the Philippines, preparedness by using ham radio is one of the things I do for my Persons With Disabilities (PWD) Community here for us to get informed in any massive emergency situations. This episode with Josh really explained how communication is very vital through two-way radio in any emergency scenarios which I am thinking for my PWD Community. Thanks! Kudos to you both.
My brother in law use to be a radio operator back in the day in the early 2000s, may he Rest In Peace. I use to sit and listen to him talk on the radio for hours to people he never met but they had a bond that they would be on at the same time daily. I remember he talked to people in other countries. I asked him how he did that because I was intrigued and he said in Spanish. It’s this box called la Chancla in Spanish which translates to “the sandal”. I can definitely say that the radio community is very very close and look out for each other because when someone needed help in the city he would be right there.
Thanks for doing this. From a former signal soldier from the eighties. Tac-sat auto-von/auto-din Tropospheric scatter all the way down to PRC radios with ancient crypto. When I got out the farthest thing from my mind was radios. I’ve been in communications for 35 years. Never before had an interest in HAM. Thanks for sparking that back up. Studying now for my technician test.
Great video. In 1995, hurricane Opal struck NW Florida. Ham radio operators were the only method of comms into or out of the damage zone for a couple of days. Ham is still super relevant and necessary. Thanks to all who operate.
The day always gets better when a mike glover video comes out
I never wanted to get my ham radio license until I started following this guy.

@Jen farmer That's sensational my dear
I love that y’all did a video together 🤙🏻 I know that when I see two channels that I enjoy checking out for great content that we have similar mindsets when it comes to preparedness and protection.
By far, THE BEST in explaining the whats and hows!
I've been researching radios, frequencies and licensing for the past two weeks.
Often leaving more confused then when I started!
Thanks Again

@@arnoldschmidt2753 Went to Lee Wheelhouse’s channel. What video are you referring to?
Great video! I used to be a fast attack submarine radioman back in the day, I’m into preparedness and the well being of my community. Getting into ham radio was something that seemed natural. I started to ask questions locally, but it seemed that some of the ham community were arrogant, super snobby elitists. Made me laugh due to my background in comms, knowing that it’s not rocket science. This video inspired me to give it another chance. There are idiots in every hobby that need to be ignored (see some posts to this video), and good people that are willing to share what they know and be ambassadors for the future of ham radio.
Lol I like your username. I don't think I ever had a Zulu 5 Oscar when I was on watch in Groton.
I hope, by now, you have gotten your Ham Ticket! You are right, there are always some pretentious pompass, old farts, in ham radio. They feel like a new technichian is an idiot, because they don't operate on HF! I have been into ham radio since the early 1990's, and am still a technichian. I still have fun, and talk world wide!
Thanks for having Josh on. I’ve been following him for awhile and now and subscribed to Fieldcraft Survival. I’m new to firearms and tactical defense but interested in learning a lot more.
Super excited you’re stoked to get your ham license. When Overland Expo does happen, I’ll definitely stop in at your booth and say, “aloha”. Thank you!
Ham radio call sign N6WH.
This video made me realize how important back up communications are in survival. I just got my tech license 3 weeks ago. Thanks for the great videos.
I highly recommend the practice exams for HAM radio that are on the internet. They make taking the test a lot easier. At least they did for me.
hamradio.org - all the real test questions/answers are published, so the "practice" is really just studying the real stuff.
You can download apps on iTunes for the actual questions and answers for study. That’s how I got my technician license.
@@ns3v3n what’s the name of some of the apps? Thanks
@@paddydivers3136 if you search “HRE” a few should pop up, you want the technician one as that is the first exam you need to take to get your license. Cheers and good luck!
Mike and Josh awesome video. I have been a ham radio operator for several years now with my primary focus on emergency communications and belong to my local ARES/RACES group. One thing that I get reminded of when working with my local ARES group is the need to practice to keep your skills sharp, I would add to that is an emergency situation when emotions are high and some much going on not having to figure something out will be a major benefit.
Great points! Thanks for sharing.
One thing not mentioned here is finding your local ham radio club and having them help you with everything from getting licensed to programing your radio and much more. I've learned so much from Josh's youtube channel.. great guy!
I’ve followed Josh for a few years now. He is by far the best presenter of ham related info that I have viewed! Rock on Josh!
Very timely and useful. Thank you.
Interesting to listen as a Ex-British Army Signals instructor in the Royal Artillery. I used to be a instructor in phase 2 training in Larkhill, Royal School of Artillery. I started my career with the clansman radio system then moved onto bowman system (that we would jokingly call “Bowman to no man”!) Ended up mainly using TACSAT Harris 117 in Afghanistan.
I never thought about learning this until I heard Mike talk about it. Getting certified and learning all about ham radios is now on my list to do!!
I have been binge watching your video both of you guys actually. I have a Baofeng I keep with me everywhere I go. It is part of my EDC. Don’t care if I’m driving my semi truck or my pickup it’s always with me. Great video guys.
I love Josh! He’s who got me involved in ham radio initially as well!
Love Josh and all the info he puts out on the HRCC...I've learned so much but still want to get a better handle on stuff before taking the test.
This is hands down one of my favorite videos. I love this content
Thanks for this Mike. Been a licensed HAM radio operator for about two years now, nothing beats the power👍🇺🇸
I just saw your video with Josh. I liked your energy so I checked out your channel. I watched the 5.11 ABR video. I love your realness and honesty. If I were able to train with you one day... I believe it would be a distinct honor. Carry on.
Thank you for the kind words, wed love to have you out for a class.
Josh's channel brought me back to my radios after 8 years off the net. He runs a quality channel.
Chad Stewart Fantastic!
been watching these guys since the 90's. They've come a long way from the booth. Great video!
Loved this video! Thanks to all involved.
Can't wait to hear more content about this from you guys- getting myself a Baofeng and cable today.
Or, You Could Get a Raspberry Pi...
Love both channels, this will be fun guys. Thanks for this. Oh yeah I just subscribed I was one of those guys that watched and wasn't subscribed.
Great Video with Josh. The subject of ham radio fits so well with survival and preparation. I subscribed months ago to Ham Radio Crash Course and today, to Fieldcraft Survival. Now that I'm quarantined for the net fourteen days, I'm studying for an Extra license. At my age, survival just from day to day is an iffy thing to consider. :-) Thanks again.
So glad I stumbled on this site, I'm on the journey with you. Just got my Baeofang, and signed up for the course.... I know nothing, I'm here to learn everything. So glad I watched this video.... I didn't know not to push the button before. Thank you!
Thank you Mike and Josh. This was very informative.
I got my technician license like 4 years ago, tried a few clubs ...too hard to sit through, this is the lead I’ve been looking for. Thank you
Because of Mike and Josh, I got my GMRS and Ham licenses, it wasn't hard. I was hesitant to get my Ham License because of the test, but studying and taking numerous practice tests made it a lot easier. If I can do it, you can do it!
Josh at Ham Radio Crash Course is how I found this channel -- glad I did.... great content on both....
Two AWESOME channels collaborating together...👍🏻
Josh is good people, awesome having him in town!
Josh....as usual fantastic explanation in simple terms without talking down.... clear, concise information!!
Mike..... saw your interview on Shawn Ryan's podcast and was floored!! You epitomize what a man is.... not for your choice of profession but rather your ability to stay focused & true to yourself.... have a goal, a path and a vision to succeed..... yet when 'first contact' happens you had/have a real strong ability to re-evaluate, re-focus and continue towards your goal....
This episode also shows even though you have a vast life experience closet of talents you are never to self-important to learn something new!!
You are both strong role models!! Thank you!!

Love both channels; awesome to see the collaboration. Looking forward to the podcast.
GREAT summary vid. Almost overwhelming to a raw beginner like me. I wish I had paid more attention to our com guys in the Army. Even in my reserve unit, our radio crew were all HAMS. Should have started then, but this and Josh's channel will hopefully get me up to 1/4 speed and beyond. Just joined ARRL today and started studying for the Tech license. I sincerely hope that radio is not as addictive as firearms. :)
It is - especially when it comes to the Motorola gear I use exclusively for 2 meters/440. Very similar to firearms.
I need to get into ham radio.
Yes you do
Just go buy a UV-5R right now...
That would get you interested and motivated to get your tech license

Great video. I am also a Ham Radio operator and into all types of emergency preparedness communications. It is a critical part of being prepared for all types of emergencies .... you MUST be able to communicate effectively without the need for conventional infrastructure!!! Ham Radio works when all else fails, period.
It's been a while since Mike talked about Commo. Thanks for this Tribe.
Very informative video, Josh did great! I am going to stair step into ham radio thank you.
Just recently purchased the Boafang per Josh’s other videos! Hopefully I’ll be taking my tech exam next month if COVID19 eases. 🙏🏽
Great vid. I have my General Class and loved how well Josh broke it down.
I found this channel by looking for ham radio info, because I was interested in adding this form of communication to my survival kit; it's a must. I've also solicited the guidance of a local ham radio group, someone I can readily communicate with and receive guidance. I got a lot out of this video. Good stuff! ⭐ New sub.
"Thumbs up" from this Kentucky boy. 👍
Here after the Tennessee Bombing took out major comms infrastructure.
And more importantly, took out voting infrastructure to hide massive voter fraud.
Doomsday.. this was recommended in line after watching Southernprepper1 .. perfect timing!! Thx screwtube..
We MUST start to communicate with other groups or militias. Communications is vital and we need to start NOW time is going fast. Even the need to communicate if an invasion of a foreign nation (Chinese) we must act quickly. Look up some gun groups and give them a call then get together over coffee and exchange info! Then do it again with another group or militias! This is so very important and it is imperative to be able to contact others for help or to meet up when something goes down!
Thanks, Mike! Thank you Josh - love your series, Josh!
Taking my Ham Radio Technician Test next week because of Josh and Mike!
This was a great video i’m really looking forward to seeing how we can implement this into our preparedness abilities. i like the local peer to peer messaging and communication he mentioned i feel like that would be of use in an emergency situation where potentially cellphones and other forms of communication are limited or taken out great job mike! 💪🏼👍🏼
Right before the enemy hits u, all communications r disabled. When that happens, reach for the toilet paper? Oh wait, there isn't any.
Man that was informative! Thank you for the content! Subscribed!
Awesome! Glad to have you apart of the channel!
I’ve got 6 UV5 Baofang radios in a metal box along with a GMRS and CB for when SHTF. My HUMMER H2 has Ham, CB and GMRS installed. I got the license for GMRS because I overland in my HUMMER and I don’t wanna piss off Uncle Sugar too much this soon.
To be honest, I don’t know what the hell I’m doing although I was a 19D Recon Scout for 21 years and used radios all the time. Regardless, I have radios for myself and others to communicate. Being that I’m 64 years old now, I’m not going to be any use out in the field because I can’t walk much now much less ruck.
I follow Josh to learn.
Loved this program. Just bought a couple of the recommended Baofangs. Lots of learning to do. Great info from you both--thanks.
Mike was legit geeking out in this... I absolutely loved watching those moments Hahahaha! How awesome someone who was in DELTA FORCE/CAG/UNIT is still a damn student....
As Mike and others would tell you, you never stop learning. The greatest value in education is realizing how much you don't yet know.
Bruh he’s not learning this stuff, he’s asking questions to help teach people about it.
Something about broomsticks and hoola hoops
Great video and great timing for the video 👍 thank you Mike! Good seeing you at go rigs and coffee
Thank you for the kind words! Always a pleasure!
Mike this was a really good one sir. Communication in emergency situations can be just as useful or more useful then any other preparation we can we do! Thanks!
Great info, I am disabled and also have a serious illness, but I have wanted to become proficient in some skill(s) that could help others during a major crisis should one occur- this seems like the ideal way to be effective even with my limited mobility. As a kid I loved sitting in my Dad's truck and talking with truckers on his CB, and when Mount Saint Helen's erupted, only one person in our very rural town was able to get and spread information about it and at that time, I thought that was cool, but now the essentialism of that ability to know things has become even more clear.Thanks for this very informative video.
Just bought my Yaesu FT-3D based on HRCC's reviews and have no regrets whatsoever! FYI The Burbank HRO is merging with the Anaheim store so they have some things on sale! If you're in the area go get something!
I checked into 449.700 here in Los Angeles last night (first conversation I've ever heard on a radio!) and heard a community check-in as well as a fun questionnaire happening across the greater Los Angeles area. What a great community to peek into - I downloaded the hamstudy app last week and feel ready to pass my Technician test once things re-open, but for now, I feel much better having taken my first steps.
That's awesome! Happy to hear you are getting good use out it! Such a cool community, very inviting and so much to learn. Thanks for sharing!
@@fieldcraftsurvival Thanks so much to both of you for sharing what you know! Also everyone buy a Signal Stuff aftermarket antenna - they're made in the USA! Gotta stick together!

I watch both of your channels. I was surprised when I stumbled across this video with both of you. Very cool!
great session Michael. i"m going pursue this. Back up for my personal locator becon
I'd actually argue that the PLB is the backup for the radio. :-)
When Josh said " You want to listen, more than you transmit " and Mike agreed by saying " thats what my girlfriend says all the time " ---- lol I felt that shit 🤣 😅
Subscribed! Amazing show. Thank you 🙏
I've been a ham for forty years and I almost always learn something new from Josh's videos. I have used them to turn on several of my gun guy friends to ham radio. WQ7D
Josh is solid. I got my extra class license due to his inspiration. Plus he is a bad ass engineer and he likes AK's.🏆👊
AKs are the glocks of long guns. I like them as well.
Great info! I watched part of this months ago. Came back today with all the hysteria going on. We have basic handhelds for our family, but no Ham Radio assets. Getting assets this week and doing the training ASAP! Thanks for the info.

Great segment Sargent Major. Good contact with Josh. I just got my Tech Lic. last year, and I'm 75. My daughter is taking your Fighting Pistol class 22 Nov., and is working on her Ham Tech. Lic. also. Keep up the American Contingency reserve. As you were, and carry on.
I am a new subscriber, you touch on so many topics that I am into and you knowledge is appreciated 👍👍
These videos are great. I’ve had a box full of beofengs that I need to learn how to use.
I figured out where i know this guy from! He was the daycare owner on The Office!
jeremy daniels 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@huntershroff9522 is it him for cereal?
And The Office for Dunder Mifflin Was Based on the Mead Corporation in Ohio Which Developed The Computer System for NORAD, Which Morphed into LexisNexis Which Was Originally a Clearing House for the Healthcare Industry BEFORE It Branched Out Into Legal Services and Was Eventually Purchased By Amazon. Personally My Favorite Versions of 'The Office' are Mike Judge's 'Office Space' and 'Falling Down' With Michael Douglas, Although Mike Judge's 'Idiocracy' is Oddly Reminiscent of Life Under Trump. No Hard Feelings, Brah! 😉
