Yeah I'm a little late, but we got giveaway winners...
2 months agoIt's hard to believe fall is here already (and the Beachmasters are not, but we'll get to that).
As far as personal news: I just got back from Germany with Lindsay. We were invited by a viewer, Markus, to sit as his table in the Armbrustschützenzelt (Crossbowmen's) Tent during Munich Oktoberfest. This was an absolute shitshow. We couldn't believe how many people were there. And yeah, we did it right, I wore (short) lederhosen while Lindsay picked up a green floral dirndl. I housed 4 liters - a little over a gallon - of Oktoberfest Paulaner which was 6% ABV. I managed to make it home but I did stop at the underground train station around midnight to pick up a beef kebab wrap that looked like it was scraped off of the street and I was NOT 100% the next morning...totally worth it.
We also went to the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart and got a behind the scenes tour from two TFBTV viewers, Sebastian and Timo. I filmed a video with Timo which will run on my personal channel.
Speaking of that, I'm headed to Tokyo in a couple of weeks with Aaron of Bulldog Auto (he's on my Sambar Van and Land Cruiser vids) to film more car content in Japan. Should be a LOT of fun.
Let's talk gun news:
Beachmasters: The last update was from Vang Comp on October 1: "We're shipping the receivers and barrels back to Mossberg this week. Hopefully we'll have FedEx LTL pickup tomorrow for the combined pallet." I don't know what that means as far as ETA but it sounds like Mossberg just needs to assemble them and they are good to go. The no-commitment signup link to get one is here:

New guns: Summer is historically slow for the gun business, but now that fall is rolling back around,. I've got new pistols from H&K, BUL, CZ, and B&T to review at my FFL. Ryan and I are reviewing them on Monday or Tuesday.
5.11 Stache Shoes: The shoes I designed with 5.11, the Stache, are launching on October 24. I'm going to try to get a few pair to give away to you guys, or at least get a coupon for them.
