Originally posted by Meikai I'm watching the UAE Israel 2020 video because you said he named the j00, but it's just making me sad. He's rambling about esoteric Messianic prophecies being fulfilled by trade deals while he drives around in his (presumably) truck, and I can't help but feel there's some heavy schizo vibes here. Can't be easy to make high production value modern youtube content when you're slowly becoming unhinged. Was his deteriorating grasp on reality the reason he retreated from public life?
Or is this performance art? Is this just a new character? Sad.
I guess the archive contains a lot of footage; I did not get a lot of time to look at it because I was working very long hours during all of this, and his streams were very spontaneous. He started out with a coherent message, but then due to feedback of the viewers he went into more abstract topics. If you actually care, then you should watch his earlier material.
The gist of it is that in order to be truly free, one must let go of money. He dumped his job to raise his family and work in the sewers for $12/hr. He talks about how the power in the u.s. is being consolidated over the years, and he talks about where this is all headed; information that we all kind of already know, but he articulates it very well while giving some interesting examples that I personally have not noticed/ thought about.
I don't think that the dude is insane, he is just displaying symptoms of oversocialization. It pains him to see what is happening in his country today because he is not dumb; he understands all of it perfectly, and it makes him sick to the point where I guess he just wants to drop out of it all and live a simple humble life. Makes sense. -

Requires pants with built-in pocket pool. -

Hey if I sat around all day then I could get away with just keeping it in my purse, amirite. As someone who works and walks around all day, its very nice to just have both a flashlight and a multitool at the ready in a dedicated pocket which does not clutter up the rest of my pockets; there is only one thing in any one pocket at any time, and everything is accessible even when sitting in a vehicle.
If you can get away with just leaving your tools on the table all day then I envy that; I actually find myself having to carry them around in a way that does not hinder mobility while carrying bulky heavy objects around stairs with turns. I have done more with this multi tool here than most people will do with theirs, judging purely by the amount of wear.
And here is a brand new example of the same tool:

Originally posted by Misguided Russian No, I just think that they make good pants. Even a lot of basic jeans today are shit simply due to the distribution of belt loops. Like those shit jeans or other pants that have a single loop in the back instead of two equally spaced loops which keep your pants from folding around the belt.
I see the garbage that they sell in stores and I honestly wonder who wears all of it; do people just not recognize that they are buying shit? 5.11 is not all that great either, but has more utility than a lot of the shit I see being sold in stores.
what about other "military" brands like tru-spec or rothco or a variety of others that produce military dresses.
what about them. -

And here is a brand new example of the same tool:
I wore my flashlight on a canvas pocket that hung from my belt...no need for a pocket.
And...my toolpouch had to weigh well over twenty lbs. as it had a 12 and 10 inch Crescent wrenches, diagonal cutters, 2 types of wire cutters, pliers, vise grips, multiple dedicated screwdrivers, a heavy multi-screwdriver/nut driver with a foot long extension, electrical tape, teflon tape, box cutter, tape measure, Allen wrenches, etc., etc. Those were just on the outside. On the inside of my pouch I had a grab bag of miscellaneous clutter from spare short pieces of 12 and 14 and 24 guage wires to wire nuts and electrical connectors to a clamp meter for reading amps and a Fluke meter for checking for grounded compressors and microfarads on capacitors as well as for volts and ohms for troubleshooting. I didn't even carry a hammer as I always used my large Crescent wrench as a hammer.
Fucking thing was heavy.
That picture you posted was of a toy. -

Originally posted by Misguided Russian I would if they sold em. I already have enough of their pants to last over a year, too. They have an optimal pocket layout.

Thanks for the website link. I'm not allowed to buy guns. No way would feds authorize a hand gun. I did buy a shotgun, but that's the closest the gun dealer told me I could buy. Even a rifle might be hard for me to get. But they sell rifle kits that go into shotguns he said which is a loophole. Just because I take meds doesn't mean I would go on a shooting spree . I wouldn't kill random people. That's weak as fuck. I'd rather beat someone at best with my 2 fist like a man than coward out. Oh I hope this isn't virtue signling.
Virtue Snickering .. hey luigu a term we can add to our sardonic tuff-shed list -

The picture I posted is of a multi tool.
My job does not require a lot of tools; I'm not a mobile mechanic or anything like that.
I have a tool bag of actual tools, but they are mostly used for small things like assembly/disassembly of furniture and removal/reinstallation of doors. The pocket tool is mostly for cutting of tape/shrink wrap/cardboard, but was often used to remove doors and sometimes to disassemble things that come apart fast. For me its often worth it to try and make do with a multi tool first than run back to the truck and get the tools; it can save time. -

Originally posted by vindicktive vinny im pretty sure 5.11 tactical pants can also be considered "military" stuff.
Yeah I get it, in the usa theyre called tactical pants, some cops and security wear them, etc. etc.
They would be called "work pants" in Israel, because they are just some utility pants basically, and you can get them outside the typical "military-esque" colors. Often seen being worn by guys at the market or something unloading pallets or whatever. Whereas a lot of military pants come in the typical olive/tan or camo, and a lot also have sewn in knee pads, etc. and often have much more exaggerated pockets. -

because in israel everyone is a combatant when push comes to shoots.
and not really tho. if 511 has them then other "military" companies and factories will also have them.
thats how free market works.
they even have pink and purple camos for homo militias.
