Security stories - the truth about fighting ThatGearGuy 2025-09-28 | A lot of people asked for more detail about the fights that went on during my 20+ years in the security industry. I break down this rather unpleasant subject and let you know the reality. It wasn't a Roadhouse movie, the truth was far less glamourous. There was no fairness, Queensbury rules or good ethics, just a strategy I could use to maximize success and efficiency. I detail the physical and legal problems this caused.
Wuben X4 - The Flashlight To Rule Them All? ThatGearGuy 2025-09-16 | Wuben have just released the all singing, all dancing X4. This high Lumen beast does a bit of everything. From moonlight mode to days through every colour of the rainbow to tactical lumen levels! This is a must for EDC gadget freaks and Wuben fans!Wuben store X4 linK: bit.ly/4gjzWf1
Testosterone therapy for better sex? ThatGearGuy 2025-09-16 | I have made several videos on my TRT journey. The main thing I get asked is about sex! Does TRT shrink your bits? Will it fix ED? Will my girlfriend or wife be happier? I discuss all this and more!Use code PAULB20 for a discount!optimale.co.uk
BMW M4 competition 2025 Running costs ThatGearGuy 2025-08-31 | I recently traded my Range rover in for a BMW M4 competition X-Drive 2025 model. I figured this may be my last chance to buy a petrol powered performance car before we sink into net zero lunacy. I figured people would be interested in the running costs as these are usually things of myth and legend. You might be happy to know they were all a little more reasonable than I had expected! I discuss Insurance, MPG, Tax, Servicing and Tyres, the items that most reviewers neglect to mention!!
Wuben PL01 Penlight - Best Value EDC? ThatGearGuy 2025-08-31 | We are used to Wuben bringing us ingenious flashlights with lots of funky features. They verge on collectable as they are so unique and fun to fiddle with. But what if you want a really simple EDC light for work? It needs to be comfortable to carry, lightweight, easy to use, rugged and affordable... Well Wuben have you covered! The PL01 is a slim penlight which offers 4 different lumen modes from moonlight through to 650LM.Wuben Pl01 flashlight link : wubenlight.com/products/wuben-pl01-flashlight?ref=ytmjzrxdDiscount code （20% off）: PL01
Security Stories - Sex work ThatGearGuy 2025-08-27 | Back in the day the world of security and sex workers was often intrinsically linked. I discuss my experiences with the industry and reveal some insights which you would never know unless you had a view behind the curtain...
Dedepu Compressor For PCP Air Rifles ThatGearGuy 2025-08-25 | If, like me you have a PCP air rifle you will be aware it has limitations. Mainly that it needs refilling quite a lot and this can be a little problematic. You might be sweating over a manual pump or you could be carting a heavy air cylinder around. Compressors are the obvious choice but they have thus far been heavy, large, expensive and incredibly noisy... Enter the Dedepu Compressor. Originally made for divers refilling their tanks, it also works great for a PCP air rifle or pistol! Good value and quick fill time in a package you can lift up with one hand...https://dada.link/3Gjsei
Ninja Sword Ban UK - The Details ThatGearGuy 2025-08-04 | Do you have a cheap Japanese style sword hanging on the wall of your man cave? If you do then you could be a criminal without even knowing it! The Government banned certain types of sword this month which means even having it at home as a decorative piece is a crime. I discuss what a ninja sword is (according to government specifications) and whether a ban will be an effective strategy to reduce violent crime - You can guess my answer... What caused the rise in knife and sword crime and what can we do about it?Support my fiancé's new Instagram! - instagram.com/nicola.mason_clay_shooterGovernment Legislation - legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1988/2019gov.uk/government/consultations/ninja-swords-legal-definition-and-defences/prohibiting-ninja-swords-legal-description-and-defences-accessible
Security Stories - The Truth About Misogyny ThatGearGuy 2025-08-01 | During my 23 years in front line security I saw my fair share of awful behaviour from men toward women. I discus the behavioural patterns and the reasons behind some of it (in my experience). Can a misogynist change their behaviour? Can it be scared or beaten out of them? What are the red flags girls need to watch out for and which ones might they even be attracted to?
The Truth About Gaza ThatGearGuy 2025-07-21 | Probably one of the most polarizing and emotionally charged topics of recent years - The situation in Gaza. It has prompted mass demonstrations all over the world from both "sides". And this is part of the problem. People tend to view this as an ideological argument rather than a war which can easily be compared to other wars. I take a look from the unique perspective I have within the defence sector. I get a lot of first hand accounts from people who look at the situation in tactical terms without religious or cultural bias.My main point is that if you condemn the situation in Gaza then you must equally condemn all wars as they are equally brutal with similar rates of collateral damage.
Wuben E8 Flashlight EDC Collab! ThatGearGuy 2025-07-19 | Wuben have teamed up with the guys at Nayici, a cool EDC gadget company, to produce the E8. You can customize the look and add some cool fidget factors. Of course, being wuben it is also a fantastic little flashlight for general use.

How Injury Made Me Fat - Road To Recovery ThatGearGuy 2025-06-29 | I went from being a motivated athlete to a complete slob. It took one injury to stop me in my tracks. A series of poor choices followed which saw me balloon in weight and lose all my confidence. After several years believing that was my life, a dream changed everything. It got me angry and motivated! I describe my descent into a dark place and how I dragged myself back out the other side. The good news - anyone can do this...
Dubai Chocolate Vs Swiss Chocolate ThatGearGuy 2025-06-16 | Dubai chcocolate quickly became TikTok famous in 2025, but is it really that good? I try it for the first time and compare it to a Swiss Chocolate bar (Cailler) which is an old favourite. The Dubai chocolate was surprisingly good and the bright green centre provided a great flavour combination. But was it good enough to beat the Daddy of the chocolate world!!Swiss Chocolate - amzn.to/45JBf3RElit Dubai chocolate - amzn.to/3ZuYo63
Should I take testosterone? TRT pros and cons ThatGearGuy 2025-06-15 | After running TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) for nearly a year I have a reasonable grasp of its benefits and negatives. It is a complex subject requiring significant thought. Is it true your bits will shrink? Will you turn into a love God? Will it effect your heart? Will you make serious gains in the gym?I discuss the commonly asked questions in this video.Use code PAULB20 for a discount!optimale.co.uk
What do men really want in a woman? ThatGearGuy 2025-05-28 | I see a lot of one dimensional information out there on this subject. All men must be "Alpha Male" and all women need to be the "submissive housewife" is a rather popular narrative currently. I try to discuss this issue in a little more detail. After all it is a pretty important thing! If we want to attract a partner then we should at least be mindful of what they find attractive and be honest about what we are seeking. That way you have at least a chance of success and some degree of happiness if it works out!I spent many years working with groups of men, especially the kind that designate themselves as "Alpha" (Note - no seriously competent guy does that), so I have a pretty fair idea what they were seeking. I also know they were pretty confused and contradictory on this whole issue! I think the same can be said when the roles are reversed. I try to bring some common sense to this chaos
Security Stories - European Criminal Networks and UK Club Security ThatGearGuy 2025-05-22 | I worked in the industry for over two decades. It had always had its seedy side, connections to organised crime and drugs. Around 15 years ago things began to change pretty rapidly. I saw Albanian crime syndicates begin to move into the club scene and of course they did this by pushing the existing guys out. Much of this went unreported as the clubs wanted as little attention as possible and the press were frightened of anything that sounded right wing. Recently we have finally seen crime statistics based on ethnicity emerge. These stats in both the UK and Europe are forcing politicians to address the uncomfortable truth. I discuss the factors which may in part explain the issue and I detail some of my own personal experience.
Wuben X4 Flashlight - The Ultimate EDC? ThatGearGuy 2025-05-10 | As you guys know I love Wuben. In my opinion they are innovators in the EDC flashlight/torch space. Their latest offering has just launched on kickstarter. I give it a review to give an opinion before you drop your hard eraned cash on it!wuben-1.kckb.me/3f7dd9b4
Big Political Change In The UK - Immigration ThatGearGuy 2025-05-05 | We have seen a huge shift in public sentiment over the last week in the UK. Local elections took place and the two main parties (Labour and Conservative) did not do well. A relatively new party (Reform) took the majority of the seats on offer. So what has happened to shift the public away from the two party system that has been embedded for years?the hot button topic if immigration and especially illegal immigration and border control. This has been badly mishandled by both Conservative and Labour, allowing the new kid on the block to offer a route forward. I discuss the reasons I believe the public mood has shifted and the reality of immigration in the UK currently.
TransGression - The Dark Side Of The Rainbow Pt. 2 ThatGearGuy 2025-04-21 | This week we have seen debate raging following the supreme court ruling on the equality act. The far left and Trans community have been whipped into a fury following the verdict that biology defines gender as far as the equality act goes. This raised a subject that I have had some experience in and I wanted to share that here. The far left wants to shut down all sensible debate on issues like this. I believe we should have open discussion, especially when it pertains to the safety of children. I recall some experiences I have had which cast doubt on the lefts position which is that aggressively pushing certain agendas is beneficial for children. I believe some of the ideology being pushed can in some cases be used by predators, allowing them to act with impunity, This should be examined as the feelings of adults should never come before the safety of children or women.
The Fall Of The Left ThatGearGuy 2025-04-15 | We are seeing a shift in public opinion. This shift has already happened in the USA as they have voted for Trump but we are seeing the same sentiment across Europe. Politicians which were previously busy virtue signalling the benefits of mass immigration are now rapidly back pedalling or seeking ways to do so. In the UK we have just ushered in Labour. Previously the working mans party, now a party more interested in aligning itself with minority groups and ideology. We are several years behind Europe in this regard but we can all see that change is coming. The left have aggressively pursued narratives that have infuriated the large majority. It has had a negative effect, driving people further to the right. This is my greatest concern, that we will end up so far apart from a middle ground that we compromise our safety and sanity in the process.
Hoo Knives Phoenix UK EDC Perfection! ThatGearGuy 2025-04-13 | Hoo have bought us some great knives which fit within the tight requirement for a UK everyday carry knife. A sub 3" non locking blade which can still be deployed and closed with one hand. I recently reviewed their wonderful V3. Now they bring us the Phoenix with a new blade shape and a really ergonomic, stylish design.Check it out: hooknives.com•Understanding UK Knife law: hooknives.com/understanding-uk-knife-law•How Our Double Detent System Works: hooknives.com/how-our-double-detent-designs-work

The Truth About Violence - Life Saving Techniques ThatGearGuy 2025-04-07 | I have done a few videos in this series and deliberately avoided addressing specific physical techniques. This is because it is an awkward, complex and deeply unpleasant subject which makes for grim viewing. I wanted people to understand the concepts and the other options available to them before we get into these murky waters. However this is what most people want to know and there are a plethora of BS artists out there who will happily charge you money and tech their "techniques". Most of these Charlatans have never had a fight outside of their personal Dojo and have zero clue what real violence is actually like. It is certainly not glamourous and there are no medals at the end. We have to realise we do not have an equal playing field out there. Your attacker is likely stronger and better at violence than you are. So my discussion is about how to overcome this in a realistic manner based on 23yrs of frontline security work in some very rough places.
6 Months of TRT Full Blood Test Results ThatGearGuy 2025-04-01 | After 6 months running Testosterone replacement therapy I discuss my results and the full blood test.

The Truth About Mounjaro Pt 2 - 3 Months in ThatGearGuy 2025-03-30 | My good friend began her journey with fatloss injections in January. She started a course of Mounjaro from an online pharmacy in the UK. She is now 3 months in. She did not want to be on camera so I bring you her story, the results so far and her plans for the future. I leave nothing out, the side effects and the positives.

MegaVR Simstock Part 2 Calibrate and Shoot! ThatGearGuy 2025-03-17 | Part 2 in the series about virtual shooting training. Here I am using the Metaquest 3 headset along with the Clay Hunt game and the MegaVR Simstock. I demonstrate how I set up and calibrate the stock in game. I also talk about some tips to ensure you get as close to a real shotgun feel as possible. Training is only useful if it replicates the form and weight of your real shotgun.

Ghosts, UFOs and Strange Animals - My Experience ThatGearGuy 2025-03-16 | I am not drawn toward the belief of ghosts or paranormal phenomenon. However I have had some unusual experiences in my life which I thought might be fun to share. From ghosts in an old RAF bunker to UFOs at a nearby base. I discuss these incidents and contemplate what they may have been. I then discuss some unusual experiences I have had which do have scientific explanations but are still met with disbelief... From being stalked by a big cat in the English countryside through to coming face to face with a gigantic snake in a local lake... I hope you enjoy!
Virtual Shooting Training - Mega VR Simstock pt1 ThatGearGuy 2025-03-02 | Virtual reality is rapidly becoming a popular training tool for shooters around the world. Both sporting shooters and defence sector workers are using VR apps to try to gain an edge. In the first of this video series, I take a look at the Mega VR Simstock. This is a virtual gunstock which can mimic both the feel and weight of your current shotgun. You can train with the same feel and you have in the real world.

Twisted Assisted Keep Safe Rescue Tool ThatGearGuy 2025-03-02 | The guys at Twisted Assisted bought us the Bar-Keep which was a handy little tool for the budding bar person. Now we reach a wider appeal with the Keep Safe Rescue tool. A similar form factor but aimed at those who require a tool for rescue in vehicles. A hidden cutting edge for webbing/seat belts, a glass breaker and a pry bar all in one!twistedassisted.co.uk/store/keep-safe-rescue-tool
Travel Stories - The Truth About Poland ThatGearGuy 2025-03-02 | Poland has become a polarizing subject in the UK over the last few years. The town of Boston was rated as the most divided in the country during brexit. This was mainly due to the large Polish population there and some of the issues that caused with the locals. I have now been to Warsaw many times so I bring back some opinions from the Polish on this subject. Of course I also bring the usual travel info and cultural experience I had while there.
Tip Gear Titanium Utility Penknife ThatGearGuy 2025-03-02 | Tip Gear are a company that is new to me. They currently have a kickstarter running for this very useful little Ti Penknife.

Lords Of War - The Truth About Arms Dealers ThatGearGuy 2025-02-09 | I think most people imagine an arms dealer to be some millionaire with dubious ethics running shipments of guns to deepest Africa. Or maybe relaxing in a cafe, wearing his white linen suit and meeting up with agents who use secret passwords.. The truth is a little more mundane and I am glad to say more ethical than you might believe. I talk about some of these myths vs the reality as I work within this industry and have done for over a decade now.

The Truth About Fat Loss Injections (Mountjaro) ThatGearGuy 2025-02-02 | There has been huge interest across the developed world in relatively new injectable drugs that can be used for fat loss. This has also been a polarizing subject with many believing that the approach is "lazy" while others suggest any help to reduce obesity is a good thing.I detail the progress of a 40yrs old lady in the UK who is unhappy with her body. She was not obese but was above the NHS guidelines for "healthy weight". She began her journey via an online UK Chemist. I discuss her fears, reservations, side effects and progress as it happens. She did not want to be on video for privacy reasons and the stigma associated with fat loss injections currently.medexpress.co.uk/clinics/weight-loss/mounjaroDiscount Code: R84X6D
Knife Crime UK - Strategies For Safety ThatGearGuy 2025-02-01 | I have received many requests for a video on the subject of knife crime which has become an issue on UK city streets. How do I avoid knife crime? How do I defend against a knife attack? Is there anything I can carry that will help stop a knife attack? I pull on my two decades of experience in the security industry to give the most realistic advice on the subject. I hope these street violence videos help keep a few people safer. I have certainly had some great feedback from parents who have played them to their teenage sons and daughters.I give the whole unpleasant truth on this subject.Essential Reading: Gift of Fear - Gavin De Becker - amzn.to/3PZEZoxKevlar Gloves - amzn.to/3WHQpkO

Shotgun Chokes And Cartridges - Pattern Testing ThatGearGuy 2025-01-26 | There are many myths and misconceptions around the subject of chokes and cartridges. If you ask 10 different people you might get 10 different opinions and 9 would probably be guesses. People choose chokes and cartridges for all sorts of reasons, not always the right ones. Maybe you saw a pro shooter use something, maybe your friend had a great result with a certain combo. I demonstrate the results using some pattern boards. I test Ficocchi Golden Trap, Gamebore DTL, and Gamebore Rose Gold with some popular choke sizes. You may be surprised at some of the results..gamebore.comfiocchi.comberetta.com/en-gb

Security Stories - The Truth About The Care System ThatGearGuy 2025-01-18 | During my security career I spent some time working days in the private care sector. We were looking after young people, many of whom had difficult backgrounds and exhibited challenging behaviour. I discuss the role and the failings that I felt let those young people down. I speak with many people who still work in this sector and it seems like little has changed. Maybe it has become even worse. Should private companies be profiteering from the terrible circumstance some of our most vulnerable people find themselves in.?
Testosterone Therapy (TRT) 3 months in ThatGearGuy 2025-01-12 | I was middle aged and feeling ridiculously tired every day. I struggled to sleep at night and stay awake during the day. Having been a life long gym goer I also found my enthusiasm deeply lacking. On top of that I noticed signs of middle aged spread, probably due to my lack of conviction in the gym. Sitting at home eating junk seemed to be a very desirable option!Having tried the NHS and been cleared for serious problems via blood tests, I decided to get my hormones checked by a private clinic in the UK. It is now 3 months since I began Testosterone replacement therapy and I provide an honest update on my results..Use code PAULB20 for a discount!optimale.co.uk
Golf+ Meta Quest Review And Tips - Straight Shots! ThatGearGuy 2025-01-10 | Having been a recent convert to the Meta Quest 3 I thought it would be fun to review some of my favourite games. The first is Golf+, an immersive golf sim which is not to be taken lightly. Just like real golf, it can be frustrating. But put in a little time and effort and the you will be greatly rewarded. I do a full review from a beginners perspective. I take a look at the controller I chose to use (AMVR) and finally I discuss how I stopped hooking all my shots.

Winter Boots - Salomon Vs Rocky ThatGearGuy 2025-01-09 | The winter has set in and you need to keep those feet warm so you can stay active. I take a look at the two boots I am wearing this season and discuss the pros and cons of both. Failure to keep your feet warm and healthy in harsh conditions will slowly sap your will and lead to an uncomfortable outdoor experience. Warmth starts from the ground up! I review the Salomon Quest GTX and the Rocky Bearclaw 200gm models. Both excellent but both offer very different takes on a great winter boot option for the outdoor enthusiast..Salomon - edgarbrothers.com/categories/salomon-quest-tracker-high-gtxRocky UK - amzn.to/429le5o
The Truth About The Meta Quest 3 (unsponsored opinion) ThatGearGuy 2025-01-06 | My girlfriend and I are not gamers. We are middle aged outdoorsy people. During the cold and wet UK winter we decided if we could shoot, fish and generally have some fun from the comfort of our living room. The Metaquest 3 seemed to offer exactly what we were after. So we made a leap of faith with very little knowledge on VR or gaming in general. I discuss the pros and cons you may face as an older customer entering the VR scene. I bought the unit and accessories/games so I have no affiliation to it.

Security Stories - Nightmare Before Christmas! ThatGearGuy 2024-12-24 | Christmas is supposed to be a time of peace and goodwill to all... Unfortunately that news didn't reach many of the Pubs and Clubs I used to work in. If you do security in these venues you will know that Christmas and other public holidays are a time for increased violence and general crazyness! I discuss why this might be and some of the experiences I had at this jolly time of year..Merry Christmas to everyone and stay frosty!!!!
Travel Stories - Sweden, Food and Culture ThatGearGuy 2024-12-22 | Another in the travel stories series. This time I talk about Sweden. A fascinating place with a culture unlike any other I have experienced. Sweden is beautiful and most of the travel blogs simply discuss the environment which is hard not to be excited by. However you might then miss some really interesting aspects about the Swedish culture and tradition. I have been on several trips and share my experience which may help you when you next visit. Swedes - please feel free to set me straight on my terrible pronunciation!
Should we prepare for world war 3? ThatGearGuy 2024-12-07 | The signs are not good. We have wars and unrest raging around the world.
