I absolutely love my Exotac Gear. Btw you can unscrew the Ferro Rod on that striker when it gets too warn down for use, and simply screw in a new one. That way you don't have to buy a whole new unit every time your ferro rod needs to be replaced.
Garand Thumb, you've gotta be one of the top UA-cam channels that I always end up coming back for more tips on looking cool and how to maximum operate. No-BS opinions when it counts, relevant and informative topics, and the dry humor gets me in trouble down in the basement of Ma's every time. Seriously though, thanks, and keep up the good work.
Definitly like those Mini overview/review videos. Especialy survival/bushcraft gear related. I mean there is only so much to say about a firestarting device.
I got kicked out of the basement for turning it in to a sex chamber . Now I am living in a field behind a warehouse glad you showed me this now I can start fire any time. Keep them coming.
Short videos for good products are good. 15 mins would be to long for a product like this. 180 second ideas. Is someone who is great at these types of reviews. Short and sweet. Thanks for another good vid Garand Thumb.
nice short review. it's nice to see some gear reviews that are not combat related, but more survival / outdoor related, but still with a certain use that would support military personnel in a outdoor / survival setting
I really like your videos and these short ones are helpful. You reviewed 3 products in 5 minutes and I learned everything I needed to know. Perfect! A lot, maybe most reviewers tend to ramble and try to show you every option and possibility but I don't feel that's needed. Short but sweet works. Now there are products and topics that require more and you do a good job knowing when that's needed. Keep up what you're doing. I appreciate the time it takes to do videos so Thank You!
I like these shorter reviews but I hope that you stay honest and also clearly state all the negative aspects in a given product. That way this channel doesnt turn into another platform for free marketing for gun/tactical gear companies.
My opinion on these mini reviews, so far, anything that gets more Garand Thumb videos in my subscriptions section is fine by me. Keep the videos coming. Also, the best firestarter is an old plastic dish of home-brewed napalm or gasoline and a muzzle flash from an AK, ideally a Krinkov. Because Demolition Ranch said so.
Good review - I especially appreciate the succinctness. Always interested in a good, small way to carry another fire starter should my other methods 1) not work or 2) get lost. Keep up the great videos!
Great review! I'm very happy with my EXOTAC products. Used the nano striker a couple times over the past year or two, they are small enough to easily attach to a survival knife or keychain.
Mini review's are good to go.. Exotac is high speed... been using a nano for about 8 years and loved it.. they are hard to keep track of!! I have no idea where my nano is right now... also have a couple lifecaps which were pretty damn nice.. love Exotac gear
One time my dad couldnt start the fire while we were camping so he used gas and made me light it. The burns really hurt be he said i should tough it out. The infection and consequent illness hurt more. But nothing hurts quite as much as the day to day neglect ive been victim of for years now. Anyways, good video!
What about the unboxing? You know, where you spend 20 min raving about the packaging or marveling that it arrived undamaged. I hate that shit. Mini reviews are great. Just keep it cool. That's ultimately all that matters. 🤠
Mini reviews aren't as great as a j-dam dropped danger/close, but more like a small anti-thot hand grenade lobbed over a wall. Still kinda' brings a smile to your face to have, and we get to see more of the sacred flannel.
I like the mini reviews! It's nice to see more of the gear you have. I personally like making char cloth in advance before a backpacking trip, using fire to make fire starting material...there is just something beautifully poetic about that 😊
Great Video ! My Go-To back up fire starter is the Swedish Fire Steel tethered to a large yellow plastic Hanson Pencil Sharpener from Home Depot to make tinder from a twig or Fatwood. Also have a Fresnel Lens to read the micro print of the info sheet of the Fire Kit ! Thank you for the video ! tjl
If you have to get your bic wet make sure you keep it in a protective sheath. Always use the proper PPE before going in a known environment. BSI for my buddy and I.
Honestly I was going to leave a messed up comment, but I can't top my comment on the Eotech video, all I will say is..... Garand Thumb is love, Garand Thumb is life.
Hey GT I liked it I just received some of these from Crate Club which I receive for S&Gs. I also got some containers of different tinders and the zipper pulls.
I love the mini reviews especially for stuff that doesn't have a lot of philosophy behind them. We know we need a fire starter. Here is a good a simple product. Perfect. Or as product reviews accompanying a philosophy video. I.e. a video about wml's vs light product review.
I kickstarted the lighter case. And didn't even use it. Tried to use the little rubber part to go of the button and it would you like just slip off. Not the biggest deal but they advertised you could use it that way. Also kind of bulky but I understand.
I have a blue flannel body pillow of you senpai. It always notices me. I've had the exotac nano for what seems closer to the better part of a decade. Looks like they've changed the design a little bit.
I know this video is 5 years old but you make great content. I think you should do primitive skills along with the tactical side of things. Thank you for your service and content.
Great idea! Most times a 20 minute video is just not in the cards. That is the same length as a tv sitcom. At least that is the way I figure timing on my videos.
I enjoy the mini-review, although I enjoy longer firearms-related videos more. As for the fire starters and lighters, on a couple of occasions my hands have been too numb to operate a lighter. That is a frustrating, difficult, and dangerous situation to be in. Trying to use a ferrous striker in such conditions would also be difficult if not impossible since it is small and in two pieces. I can imagine dropping one or both pieces or being unable to use them if my hands had turned to flippers by cold.
Check out my mixtape if you wanna start a fire.
betterthanyourmom it's illegal to burn trash in many states.

You light my fire garand
AYE NO HOMO THO MISS ME W THAT 🅱️
I'm starting a line of tactical flannel shirts called Garannel®. The first one will be in Haley tartan.
Lance T. SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
ar mag sized breast pockets
Lance T.
great idea, I would like to buy one
actually do this.
That's.... Absolutely genius and I would preorder literally everything.
I support supplementing your weekly videos with mini reviews. More content is always appreciated.
Love the the mini-vids. Many of us are practice the art of preparedness beyond things that go boom. Well done.

Mini review needs to be just a little longer. I wasn't quite finished taking a dump when the review was over.
Fuck, I'm mid dump, now I'm trying to hurry
Garand Thumb, you've gotta be one of the top UA-cam channels that I always end up coming back for more tips on looking cool and how to maximum operate. No-BS opinions when it counts, relevant and informative topics, and the dry humor gets me in trouble down in the basement of Ma's every time.
Seriously though, thanks, and keep up the good work.
I love the short, concise review of the product! Keep them coming.
I got the same fire started and it works great. I love how you can replace the rod too. Good review.
More Garand a week? Sign me up.
I for one, appreciate the mini-reviews. It's just a bit of extra content that we wouldn't get otherwise, and frankly I like it.
I like the mini review. It's informative and it does't have to be some huge production every time.
Cotton balls and Vaseline. My favorite. It's always nice to have a little Vaseline out in the field
I like the little reviews and finding out about new things.
Definitly like those Mini overview/review videos. Especialy survival/bushcraft gear related. I mean there is only so much to say about a firestarting device.
Very happy with your channel. A friend showed me several of the episodes and it has been very helpful

Mini reviews are good keep them coming, your reviews are good,honest reviews.
Thanks for sharing. Love the shorties. Can't ever have enough "stuff"
"Stay looking cool, and you stay cool by not freezing to death" there's some kind of irony there
nice short review. it's nice to see some gear reviews that are not combat related, but more survival / outdoor related, but still with a certain use that would support military personnel in a outdoor / survival setting

No bullshit. Honest reviews. No gimmicky products.
Nice.

I like the nano striker ferro rod the most. I like these little mini reviews, it's a good idea.
ive been using the lighter case since it first came out, and love their match case.
Digging the mini reviews. Seem like some good EDC products. The more a person carries just makes them look cooler and that is what really matters.
Perfect for making light to deploy the Thot Knight signal.
My opinion on these mini reviews, so far, anything that gets more Garand Thumb videos in my subscriptions section is fine by me. Keep the videos coming.

I'm a fan of the mini-review. Great subject matter, good content and a perfect amount of time allotted. Great job! Appreciate the info!
Also I recommend always using a cover to keep your Rod clean and safe
One time my dad couldnt start the fire while we were camping so he used gas and made me light it. The burns really hurt be he said i should tough it out. The infection and consequent illness hurt more. But nothing hurts quite as much as the day to day neglect ive been victim of for years now. Anyways, good video!

Knowledge SDB FTW!
ExoTac makes good stuff! have multiple strikers in different kits and will be adding more
Pretty neat stuff, wouldnt mind seeing more of these survival/outdoorsman gear reviews
I like these mini reviews as much is your rugged good looks.
I like the mini reviews! It's nice to see more of the gear you have. I personally like making char cloth in advance before a backpacking trip, using fire to make fire starting material...there is just something beautifully poetic about that 😊
Any day a new Garand Thumb comes out is a good day; regardless of video length, subject, etc.
I dig the mini reviews. Definitely awesome to see diversity
Keep them coming Mr Thumb, helps bridge the gap till Tuesday! This was a good topic. Thumb's UP, Lol.
Great Video ! My Go-To back up fire starter is the Swedish Fire Steel tethered to a large yellow plastic Hanson Pencil Sharpener from Home Depot to make tinder from a twig or Fatwood. Also have a Fresnel Lens to read the micro print of the info sheet of the Fire Kit ! Thank you for the video ! tjl
I liked the mini review. What mattered most was you looked cool doing it.
Yeah, more mini reviews would be awesome!
I'm a fan of the mini-reviews. Keep 'em going!
Like subscribe and comment if you burned mom's basement down after watching this video
Love the mini reviews almost as much as the flannel
If you have to get your bic wet make sure you keep it in a protective sheath. Always use the proper PPE before going in a known environment. BSI for my buddy and I.
Honestly I was going to leave a messed up comment, but I can't top my comment on the Eotech video, all I will say is.....
Garand Thumb is love, Garand Thumb is life.
Anything "mini" is awesome. Especially mini knowledge bombs to the brain. More please!!
Thank you for clearing up the "wet lighter" debate, it has ruined many thanksgiving when uncle Bob was "lit"
these mini reviews are pretty fire
Love the mini reviews. Look forward to any video you drop. Keep them coming.
The Mothman and i went to dinner last night. He ordered a garand flannel. Needless to say. No leftovers
Good idea! Seems like a good format for a lot of items. Might I have more? 😉
Mini's make sense! Looking forward to more.
I love the footage you have of you up north
Dad I'm trying to go to church like a good boy but you dropped a hot load of knowledge on my morning notifications
Bring the mini reviews back
love the mini intel dumps. Keep em going!
Definitely like the mini reviews.👍
Hey GT I liked it I just received some of these from Crate Club which I receive for S&Gs. I also got some containers of different tinders and the zipper pulls.
Very awesome. Thanks for the offering. I see your getting close to 100k subscribers. Congratulations!

A nice piece of kit for your get-home-bag.
I dig these mini reviews dad.
Been considering some of these items. Mostly for the size reduction. Keep up these reviews Garand_Thumb.
I love the short videos, keep them coming
Good shit! Yeah, more of these would be outstanding! Especially camping/wilderness survival gear like this.
I like the quick hit and runs
More Garand Thumb is always better.
I kickstarted the lighter case. And didn't even use it. Tried to use the little rubber part to go of the button and it would you like just slip off. Not the biggest deal but they advertised you could use it that way. Also kind of bulky but I understand.
I really like these tbh. As much as I love guns and stuff I'd like to improve my woodsmanship skills.
The mini review was pretty legit in my opinion
Good quick review. So long as you keep on target. Send it.
Let's just go ahead and ramp up these mini-reviews again... mmmkay?
I have a blue flannel body pillow of you senpai. It always notices me.
I've had the exotac nano for what seems closer to the better part of a decade. Looks like they've changed the design a little bit.
its good that you make mini reviews
I know this video is 5 years old but you make great content. I think you should do primitive skills along with the tactical side of things. Thank you for your service and content.
Keep up the shorty vids.👍👍👍
Great idea! Most times a 20 minute video is just not in the cards. That is the same length as a tv sitcom. At least that is the way I figure timing on my videos.
How come all of your questions you ask at the start of the videos are so relatable?
Eric Ocasio the almighty Garand Thumb knows everything
I enjoyed this mini review, please keep doing them. Thank you
i can watch you all days of my life
I love me some mini reviews. Multi-tools at some point?
I like the mini reviews. Keep them coming.
I'd love a mini review of a mag comparison. I always need to learn how to stuff my hardware...
The move vids the better bro... keep em comin
I used tinder once... she was a he. So I just rolled with it.
MCLOAD87 USN SSN761, 150 go down, 75 couples come up. 👍
The "ball park" in Pattaya Beach.... I hear ya..
The dick makes her cuter
Love the mini reviews idea
Garand thumbs up on the smaller product videos man!
That is some bad ass urban camo you are wearing.
I enjoy the mini-review, although I enjoy longer firearms-related videos more.
As for the fire starters and lighters, on a couple of occasions my hands have been too numb to operate a lighter. That is a frustrating, difficult, and dangerous situation to be in. Trying to use a ferrous striker in such conditions would also be difficult if not impossible since it is small and in two pieces. I can imagine dropping one or both pieces or being unable to use them if my hands had turned to flippers by cold.
This is awesome and a great idea. Maybe med kits? (Shtf, edc, camping)
Mini reviews are good, informative.
