In one corner, normal-looking Brian armed with a mirror. He's torn his shirt off and smothered clay all over his body. He snarls, "Hey boss, I'm gonna kick your ass." In the other corner, we have spikey-haired Brian also armed with a mirror! He's identical in every way except for the palette swap. "I'm your worst nightmare, and incidentally, I'm my own too." That's right folks, we've got ourselves a mirror match.

Have you told a friend about the show lately?
This week, we’re giving away two misfits versions of our latest puzzle box, Houdini’s Cell. They may be scuffed or imperfect, but they’ll still contain everything you need to be the next Houdini including invisible thread, a custom lockpicking kit, tactical thumbcuffs, and more in our most difficult puzzle yet!
We’ve got a misfit Houdini’s Cell for two winners of this week’s free giveaway at gimme.scamstuff.com (no purchase necessary, giveaway ends April 4, 2019)
Congrats to the winners of last week’s Scam School Academy giveaway: Jayden Ireson, JD Hipple, and Deitryck LaBaron (we will contact you via email within the next two weeks)
I have told a friend of the show recently!
Me too, I watch with my family
I watch your videos on UA-cam TV with my boyfriend every single upload. That's why I don't date anyone! Seriously though, I watch most videos with my family!! :)
Just showed my brother this episode.
Show’s gone from messing around with dangerous shit to real skills that can save your life. I don’t really see it as positive or negative, but the channel just evolving over time - as everything needs to do to avoid becoming bland. Loving it as much as ever and I hope it continues to grow
I cannot stress enough how great the little countdown timers on the pop up text are! It's so nice to know how long I have to read the text on screen and not have to pause every time. Props to the editors!!
The quality of this series is outstanding.
The modern rouge is litteratly a hidden gem. It's soooooooooo good but not that many people know about it. I love how they focus on the little details. They always put a text showing the explanation behind things and something that no other channel does but they do, is everything they say, they always show a text saying the conversions. If they ever say "this cost me about 15 dollars" they show on the screen what fifteen dollars is in pesos, Euros, pounds, etc etc and they do the same thing with measurements.
Right? Right? I thought only I had that thought. All of them are on point.
You guys need to stop working Jason so hard. He had to stand up for almost the ENTIRE episode
Is this jasons second account?
nathaniel nitsch yes, it’s his 5th account.
Ok
am i the only one laughing at this exchange because a second person with the name ck replied to it???
Luckily he was sitting during the sponsor read, otherwise he might not have made it
Loving the frequency of these episodes.
10-20khz. Right where I like it.
_Ugh,_ take your like.
300th like.
I love the Legend Testers!
@@B_Skizzle Thank. You. Internet points are my lifeblood. I will die without likes.
Brodie Knight eh I prefer 826472838284791848184khz
As a pilot already familiar with the use and effectiveness of these mirrors, this was very cool to see it applied to real distances! Thanks guys, really could save some lives on this one!
Andy Plater That’s great to hear.
To get a smoother flash just pass your hand infront of the mirror then you never loose your aim.
jack lesueur I was about to mention this.
That only works if you can hold a continuous signal. Which was Brian's issue.
Yeah. Waving your hand shakes your whole body. Maybe if you had one person hold it continuously and another one signal... but even then I don’t think that’d make much help.
@@ModernRogue hold it with one hand and cover it with the other while you want it to not flash?
Thats what I was thinking
You should bring back the bug out bag and actually try to survive 72 hrs with it or something like that
yeah like a mini series and with different environments
72 hours? Huh. That’s Nine 8-hour working shifts for a team of 5 people? Okay. So: 360 hours of labor (not counting edit time) for one 20-minute episode. Good news: Can do! Just get us over $12k on patreon.com/modernrogue and we’ll make it happen!
@@ModernRogue brb robbing a bank with all the utilities I've learned here
@@ModernRogue kinda came off pretty condescending there
Only need to stay in the back yard.
SUGGESTION!
Survival Food Episode.
Get your hands on some military MREs(Perhaps from several different countries), compare their calorie count (and taste) to a "Standard meal", then explore the validity of alternatives
like jerky, trail mix, hardtack... Lembas? You name it, a Rogue needs to be well-fed!
Great idea! I really hope they make that Episode a reality.
I second this! Surprise that this isn't done by them yet.
Mmmm, nice.
Sorry, wrong channel.
Damn. if they had a mailing address i could send them some marine MREs
Yes.
This is the kind of content I really like to watch. As much as I like high-tech stuff like the WiFi Scanners, Email Phishing and Credit Card Skimmers, I love videos showing how to use the world around you to your advantage - I feel that is the heart of The Modern Rogue.
How about getting a little more in-depth with the whole survival topic? Maybe a mini-series covering the basics like how to locate water, how to build a basic A-frame shelter, how to stay hidden in urban and rural environments, etc.
Perhaps cover some early electronics such as how to improvise a quartz radio. Or recover some soon-to-be-lost skills like gold panning.
I feel like maybe this video was actually an elaborate ruse on Jason's part to ditch Brian in the woods so he could run off and start a new life.
Maybe next time, Murphy.
He was after president Kardashian.
I was going to like the comment but 69 likes, nice
"Dude. The Wizard's Tower."
You guys need to make a makeshift lock picking kit and test it, that would be so cool.
Brian actually has done several episodes on lock picking over on Scam Nation (Previously Scam School)
ua-cam.com/video/4mqO4gaQBfY/v-deo.html
This is just one of many, many, many episodes about lock picking. This is one on using paper clips.
They did that on scam school
I love how much variety is in the Modern Rogue episodes. It always keeps me intrigued and interested in what they're talking about, and I always can't wait until the next episode comes out. Good job to everyone in the Modern Rogue cast and crew. You guys make great videos and I hope you keep up the fantastic work.
I cant believe the M.R. spent a whole episode of Brian flashing Jason from different distances. 😱 Seriously though.. Thanks for the episode!
You always hear about this but I've never seen it demonstrated before like this, pretty cool
Second location - "We immediately report SUSPICIOUS PERSONS and activities" XD
They were definitely confronted twice while they were there, haha.
In the theme of survival, I'd love to see these two have an episode on how to take care of an axe and maybe talking about different types of axes and thier functions. Its a whole community to itself I personally find interesting.
Oh wow, haven't thought of this at all!
I have a proper first aid kit, small stash of food and water, dry socks, gloves, batterybank, jank emergency charger I can hook up to the battery, and last but not least, a jervenduk (kind of insulated sleepingbag-tarp shelter) for when I go snowmobiling. Will definitely be adding a mirror to my gear asap.
I swear this is all I wait for at the end of the week lol
They had to put Jason on top of the tower because Brian would have quit the episode and walked off with Rex looking for Daniel's secret stash.
That’s really cool, one of my relatives during WWII had to go to South Africa to teach the troops there how to communicate with mirrors.
Ace Rockman Whoa! That’s awesome.
The US Army used a device called the heliograph for signalling in the 19th century. It works on the same principle, but from a tripod. Btw, Gen. MacArthur was certified as a heliograph operator at age 6. (It helps when your dad's a general.)
I love that you just included the app you used, I was about to ask about it when i found it in the description.
Amazing transition from what im assuming was a drone shot to the wizard tower.
Also that mirror is surprisingly effective.
"Walkie-Talkie" is just two cell phones with a push-to-talk app. Brilliant!
Explore the prepper mentality in general, bug out bags, food storage, bunkers, emp shielding, ect.
Can we have a spin-off channel called the modern rouge which is a makeup channel, but obviously not standard makeup, but all sorts of weird badass makeup these guys can come up with
5:13 looks like a GTA cutscene
Missed an opportunity to signal BACK from the Tower.
Personally, it's easier to hold your arm out and give a peace sign with the target you want to signal between your fingers, then reflect the sunlight onto the back of your hand so you know you're lined up
Okay, I was skeptical about signal mirrors. Not anymore. Definitely getting one now.
Came here after the year review. Should’ve watched sooner
I can't believe I missed it before!
I don't know if you take video ideas and if this is the best place to give suggestions, but you guys should make a video about thieves' cant and hobo signs
Have I mentioned lately that I love the ... um, countdown timer? the spin-down circle that shows up with text... usually I read the pop-ups fast enough, but sometime I get caught up in what's happening onscreen (or lost in your buttery voices) and forget to read the words -- it's nice knowing whether I've time to finish reading or if I should slap that spacebar
As a boy scout I participated is several attempts to communicate from mountain peak to mountain peak throughout Utah. Using the small mirrors like you have in this video we could see flashes 40 miles away (no clutter in the background.) With a 16" square mirror we were able to detect flashes 120 miles away. The Morse code we were attempting never did work out, but attracting attention and being able to locate someone from a great distance ... a mirror works very well, is discrete, and multi functional. Definitely suitable rogue gear.
If the activity you remember was "Operation On-Target" - it is still going on. Website: www.bsaontarget.org/
Thanks, guys. I love your channel. You are my kind of nerds.
Matthew Lind Thanks!
This was actually a lot more interesting to watch than I thought it would be.
This experiment was very interesting. I have a Victorinox S.O.S Kit and one of the few things I’ve never used is the signal mirror. I’m stoked now and will test it out this week. Thanks for the video, it was amazing.
that's amazing
and the lofi beat makes it 10 times more amazing
QUICK!!!! Take that damn signal mirror.... and shine it in that bears eyes!!! ….now run! Good thing I had that mirror. whew.
you guys are so close to 1 million subs! can't wait!
You guys deserve much much more subscribers
I love your content, guys. At first I was thinking it was a bit too goofy, came to learn it is only your hilarious characters. I love the shit you make. This is my type of stuff. The more you learn!
4:40 omg, someone likes dr pepper 🤩
For people who remember reading the War of the Worlds, this is the basis behind the heliograph, which was used for military communication before (or in the absence of) radio.
Brian is 3 miles behind Jason on the hike. Jason yells out make up check." Brian flips out the mirror and points it towards Jason. "Gorgeous" jason yells femininly
This is a really great episode, thanks!
Lizard813 Thank you!
7:12 that insect just did a backflip!show off!
The 7 dislikes were from pilots who've been blinded by these
This was really cool, like I would never have guessed the mirrors could have been anywhere near this effective. Sure it's unlikely I'll ever use this, but my hiking bag now has a mirror in it and shoot maybe I'll grab a specifically signaling mirror too. Thanks a ton as always guys! Great episode.
Same! I was really surprised
I usually carry a signal mirror when I am sailing and kayaking - this is a test I always wanted to do but never got round to - this video has really given me confidence!
I love the nod to the neighborhood watch sign. Mr. Brian "suspicious activities" Brushwood
Im waiting for someone from roosterteeth to be on a podcast like. "Yeah so i was on a plane on the way to RTX Australia and i was blinded by a SoS signal from the ground."
Best way to send a message with accuracy is to point the mirror and then sending the message with your hand. Hold still the mirror and with the hand close and open the light source. This way you hold the aim and the message is super clear.
Thanks guys! Saving lives!
I really enjoy this kind of stuff. Who would think to actually test a signal mirror on a youtube video? That was pretty cool... I wonder what other kinds of survival tips you guys could check out?
Oh! You two should have a survival challenge! You could compete to see who lives, using all of the various tips you've given us! It would be way better than any of those "reality" television shows...
Nym Alous We’re going to be doing quite a bit more outdoor stuff soon
Sweet. Looking forward to it. I'm going to start up a pool at work (totally legally, of course), my money's on you over that Shwood guy.
Even though I recommend the ACR for life threatening rescue. You guys should do a video on the SPOT GPS MESSENGER. It's something you and Jason can have fun with. It has alot of features for survival rescue.
Love the channel guys!
I've been subscribed to modern rogue for like 2 years so far and i just knew brian is a magician
Oh, wow!
Damn this episode is so good, The Modern Rogue at its finest.
Yay!
I don't know if its just me but when Brian said blasphemers i heard blast femurs but either than that perfect video.
Been here since 100k, im proud of how far youve come
Thanks!!
2:59 yes they sure can. When I lived in Longmont Colorado there was a house window on the mountain that cast a straight beam that was blinding enough that it actually caused a car accident from 5 miles away. At 6-7 am the sun would hit just right to blind people.
Better method to use the signaling mirror is that holding the mirror in one hand close to one eye, looking through the hole in the middle, stretching forward the other hand and make a "V" shape with two fingers and then putting the target between those two fingers. This way you know that you are mirroring towards the target by seeing the reflection on your fingers which means the target between them is signalled.
I'll be glad if you revisit this using the method above :)
If there’s one thing I need if I’m ever lost in the woods it’s these videos. Not to save me just for entertainment
Shotgun = more comfortable until bear eats you. Signal mirror = best defense against bears eating you.
*THE SENTINELS OF THE AIMING WHOLE* ARE PLEASED WITH YOUR AIM BRUSHWOOD
Fiiiiiiiine! Since you asked so nicely in your 2019-recap video.. I'll watch this.
:P
Yup. That was better than I thought. Glad I came back to it.
I think i'm going to buy one for when I go outdoors just in case I ever need it. Never knew how useful these could really be
Same!
I never even knew something like this existed. This is genius and mindblowingly effective. Everyone who enjoys time in the wilderness needs one of these for emergencies
Science adjacent? More like science a-Jason, amiright!?
Wow this was pretty awesome!!!
Thank you for making this video it was extremely educational
That was so cool! Gotta get me one of those mirrors now for whenever I decide to go camping and get lost in the woods.
Uuu, cool. I've always been curious about how well these mirror signals work.
Did you read my mind? I've been wishing someone would go more in-depth about these.
Very nice. 👍
Now I'm curious how many times Brian sentinels that day 😁
Nice job guys!
Greg Jones Thanks!
A good thing to know is if you keep your fingers of the mirror, ( 10:02 ) it much brighter will appears! Keeping it shiny clean will also do the job.
Prior to this video I didn't know they were scientists- whole new level of respect.
question what app did you use for the walkie talkie?
Bruce schaff what is the ios version
I have Zello who wanna add me
i figured he just called him
The app is developed in Austin too! Glad to see them support their city whenever they can!
Jason is channeling his inner Dexter with that shirt.
I love The Modern Rogue!!!
This is a top 5 modern rogue video so far.
Tell a friend!
i just came back to this video to see the distance between the tower and the property. Guess what, they outsmarted us
who's up to a cruzade of looking for 10.000 coordinates google maps?
I love their “walky-talkies” 😂
You guys should do an episode on making fonts.
@M. de k. With font you could say who you are without saying your name I guess? Spy letters that are only traceable through font. That's my best excuse
I thought you said forts.
The show’s about being the most interesting individual, and a lot of people see you for the first time online - as such, a unique font makes you stand out, makes you more interesting.
They should do an episode on making fronts.
Keno Goertz I mean... it’s not like they haven’t gotten in professionals to come in and do the hard work.
this guys should start a tv show and named HACKING THE SYSTEM
Now to head into the vault and mooch some whisky!!
Amazing! We might have to start carrying these
THE LEGEND TESTERS BACK AGAIN!
Aside from mirrors, I also pack a green laser 303 with an adjustable lens. Distance is nearly unlimited and it works at night.
This is really cool!
YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS! ANOTHER VIDEO FROM THE HAVENS! YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! I'm enthusiastic
~5:00 - You could also say "along a great circle route"
New modern rogue video? HotYeah!
OMG, were you using uber to get to your emergency signaling location? LOL good video thx
Also, Ranger Mike made a youtube video on using mirrors about 7 years ago entitled "15-- Signaling using a signaling mirror"
Thanks for the odd little "My life with the Thrill Kill Kult" reference.
So they're just talking on the phone and editing radio-sound-effects in post right? xD
might have a walkietalkie app
dANON’s right. With 5 people all spread out, calling each other is dumb. We use the walkie-talkie app and it’s a lifesaver.
@@ModernRogue Which app? Is it just called walkie-talkie or...?
@@ModernRogue That makes sense! Why not just use regular crew-walkies?
@@6insertnamehere9 Batteries run out fairly quickly, and they take a long time to charge.
Any series of three signals, whether it is gun shots, whistles, lit fires in a triangle are considered an international distress signal.
