FAQ 36 (Carhartt Sponsorship)

[dawnofwarspacemarine]

my dad works at carhartt!

[yeyspam]

Pretty much anyone who spends a good amount of time outside wears Carhartt because the extra money you pay for them is worth it in durability, with jeans anyway. I'm surprised this is a FAQ. Must be more city dwellers watching your videos than I expected.

[jwash3rd]

Carhartt makes a good product. Their jeans wear better than Chinese Levis even though they are making them south of the border.

[xtremearmor]

Very well done! 

[Alles1998]

Its working ? ;d

[dirkbikeman1001]

Ok.. im going to buy some Carhartt clothing! Thanks!

[MrBrittonv]

@hickok 45 LOL, Dig up some AK's....  Sponsorship brings up a interesting question. How do you make money at this? Do you have sponsors?

[ClearD989]

@MrBrittonv Popular videos and channels such as this one display ads on their videos and channels. More views and clicks of these ads generates revenue for the uploader. Since Hickok45 has many great videos with thousands of views per video, I'd say youtube pays him a pretty penny every month. :) Keep it up, hickok45!

[fsfazekas]

Kinda funny Hickok...in 1984 when I graduated high school the standard "uniform" was Levis jeans, Timberline boots, a flannel shirt (I guess we could choose the brand) and a Carhartt jacket. I've always loved their stuff because it wears forever. I admit I only have one t shirt of theirs but I eye the jackets every time I'm in Tractor Supply Co. I liked your point about the fit...you look like a guy that might need to shop at the tall man's shop. Glad it works for you!

[SchwarzesHerzhxc]

"I got some AK's to dig up"

[elsleepycreepy]

it's a good product, they make good fitting ans long lasting stuff. im weasring a coat now, had it for years.

the only problem i have with the company is the stuffs so damn expensive. for me anyway.

[scuds03]

I hope you do get sponsored you deserve it...Plus we all win! More money for Hicock will mean more ammo and guns and more ammo and guns means more awesome videos!! On a side note, you'r backyard is my retirment goal when my 20 years is up with the Army :D

[airic554]

Funny, really the only shirts i buy too.. fits a 6'6 guy nicely LOL

[gmaster45612374]

You need to do more Shotgun videos.

[poolshark98]

Carhartt is the greatest Detroit company behind faygo

[jackjetpilot]

Clearly Hickok is sponsored by Ford. Did you notice the gratuitous camera work focusing on the logo?

[XtremeConditioning]

Yeah, Carhartt makes some good stuff. You would think that they would sponsor you, considering you're "advertising" their products to thousands of people. Kind of stupid on their part, but I suppose you're giving them business anyway. Corporate bastards :)

[johncarbaugh]

Reel men wear Carhartt.

[bkurtz85]

"Help me Forest help me!... So i picked him up and carried him out of there..." "Thats all i have to say about that" - Forest Gump

[grantlandneil]

If I was Hickok45, I would just disable the comments all together. Come on people, really? Carhartt?..............

[salvichannel]

"Carhartt" there Freaking people... Wtf

[amorican88]

I agree 100% Hickok. I'm not quite as tall as you, but Carhartt clothing fits so well. Being 6'3" it can be hard to find clothes that work for my long arms and legs. Carhartt works everytime :>}

[salvichannel]

Carhart is a great working mans brand, I love the work boots .

[HYBRIDCOMBATIVES]

@salvichannel so does Carhartt

[OcelotTheGunslinger]

"And that's all I have to say about that." I will forever have the image of a gun-loving Forrest Gump whenever I watch your videos from now on.

[filmcostar]

Garhartt makes good stuff I wear it all the time too

[HYBRIDCOMBATIVES]

@filmcostar so does Carhartt

[filmcostar]

@HYBRIDCOMBATIVES lol yeah Carharrtt!

[JWP045]

O ok sorry I didn't catch that part but anyway I really enjoy all of your videos and wasn't trying to be critical but thanks for clearing that up once again huh! Good luck in the future and I can't wait to see the next new vid Thanks Jason P

[AluminumStud]

I own quite a few carhartt shirts as well.  They do the job.

[mikethenascarfan]

This sounds alot like an Advertisement there Greg, but, as a loyal viewer- i'll take your word for it

[hickok45]

@mikethenascarfan, Just the opposite. I'm denying any support from them. Wish they DID want to sponsor me! No problem with that at all - good stuff. :-)

[mikethenascarfan]

@hickok45 your one amazing person there greg- you deserve a sponsorship!

[McCarthy331]

@hickok45 I have to agree with you about carhart I ALWAYS where carhart... maybe a little to much. Im practicly a walking billboard with the exception of jeans. 

[moderns30]

@hickok45 I agree, you cannot argue with well made apparel.

[WesSeid]

Good to know. It's hard to find clothes that fit when you're 8 feet tall like hickok45.

[jaysterb1]

I was at the TULSA gun show the other day and the Ballistol folks were very pleased with you endorsement : )!

[hickok45]

@jaysterb1, Good to hear. If I'd been there, I would have volunteered to work the booth for them! :-) I could have brought along some dirty guns to be cleaning on. :-)

[JWP045]

You still didn't definitively answer yes or no if they sponsor you. You just explained the reason why you wore them.

[hickok45]

@JWP045 , I said "I buy them."

[Tenacious21]

New camera? This looks differently better by a lot!

[TheRaduki]

Please do a G3 video

[vashguud]

Time to go shopping... (I lost 40+ lbs last year anyway).

[theKGB65]

Never mess with the man who owns a bunch of land and a backhoe.

[WarpBerlin]

lol

[cahrn262]

nice tractor

[SamEEE12]

Nice long shot with the camera

[fordxbgtfalcon]

I feel cheated! where is our thanksgiving day special where you blow up a turkey with your double bbl. 12 gauge! just kiddin! lol , happy thanksgiving to you and your family hickock45!!

[eliteskater08]

If you need any help shooting those AKs to prove that they still work, I'm your man.

[7150285]

you only can bury AK-47 and keep on using it. Not possible with M4 or M16s

[davies2273]

'And that's all I have to say bout that' ... fantastic :-)

[jimmycubano]

Great Review as Always ....



[ihavemonkeysinmybutt]

@jimmycubano but he didn't do a review...

[jimmycubano]

Great Review as Always ....

[danzak44]

Hey, we love the shirts, they're the best and they fit people with long arms. By the way Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

[mightyhorserocks]

" I got some AK's to dig up." You rule. Love the videos.

[ChromeFreak123]

Lets get that combination digging, I love the smell of burnt diesel fuel in the morning. : )

[nickssgunsandcamaro]

I know what you mean I have lots of carhartt products all top quailty, like the ed brown of clothes. LOL

[jcervantes93]

Happy thanksgiving hickok45 you are great i love your videos. thanks

[weeniewawa]

all I wear are Carhartt shirts, they last and last and fit right

except for right now

but usually that is all I have.

[amacro11]

That's great! lol

[hogsnplanes]

I don't think Hickok does it for the money.......He does it for the free bullets :)

[DcTiger12]

He's not kidding about digging up those AK's either...

[cirian75]

@DcTiger12 and they'll work without cleaning, just bung a mag in and go.

[BubbasG36]

Thanks for the chuckle...Happy Thanksgiving to ha and be blessed!

[MrBharrington]

hey hickok you might wanna get that hydralic grease fitting on the backhoe bucket out of the dirt... been there done that lol

[y2kjericho86]

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY Hickok45!!! Have a good time!

[jaradmoon]

she thinks my tractors sexy!

[TheGunfighter45acp]

... some AKs to dig up!

[TheBlackStar999]

"This video paid for by Carhartt"

[bluetunder40]

Lolol Great Answer ,Happy Thanksgiving my friend

[ILITTHEWORLDONFIRE]

ill give you 1000$ for a signed AK

[hector1930gp]

They are good shirts!! Happy Thanksgiving....

[bbunch44]

lol, 'got some ak's to dig up"

[MosinDragunov1891]

Good luck digging for AK's. Hope you hit a rich vein!

[freeRguns]

How much for the dirty AK's ol'man

Jus kidding, I do like their shirts.

Are you going to carbine a turkey 45 style ?

I mean carve

[DennyRec]

I wear joggers that match and that are by the same company vi should say shorts, t shirts, socks and shoes when not on duty. I'm asked if I'm sponsored by them because I use to be a swimmer. Like you, if comfort and fit are great, I wear them.

[alzathoth]

"excuse me, i hve some AKs' to dig up..." LOL... classic! :D

[salembadass]

Carhartts are pretty damn comfy, and keep You warm too...

[ottokis308]

i am a big ron paul fan and i say keep doing what ur doing hickok i get enough goverment news else where id like to see guns get played with at some point. Hickok is my only gun time!!!!!!!!!!!!! btw your the shit just sayin :-)

[benadrylp]

THE CARHARTT COMMERCIAL SAID TO SHAKE YOUR HAND IF YOUR WEARING THEIR CLOTHES!!!

[hickok45]

@benadrylp, I've not seen those hand-shake commercials. I was under the impression the company was encouraging hot women to run up and KISS anybody wearing Carhartt. That's the real reason I wear it all the time! :-)

[emurccmailliw]

@hickok45

Im also willing to send you my Glock 34 if your willing to make a video. I have a few mods on it and I use it for work purposes but ill use another handgun for work if you PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON GLOCK 34!!! Mine yours a gun stores anything PLEASE!! :)

[hickok45]

@emurccmailliw , I have a request in to Glock for a Glock 35. I figured since I've been playing a good deal with Springfield competition models in videos, I should give the comparable Glock models some air time. Don't know when I'll get it or get a video up, but it's in the plan.

[emurccmailliw]

@hickok45

You just said it all right there "I have some ak's to dig up". The ak is the most reliable and durable rifle around. Please do some more videos on the ak. Hell ill send you mine if you accept to do a video on it!!! MORE AK-47'S PLEASE!!!!

[hickok45]

@emurccmailliw , I really like the AK; in fact, I shot a VZ-58 yesterday and will be shooting it some more this weekend.

[ORLY21]

@hickok45 Did you shoot any video of the VZ-58 in action? I'd like to see how it compares to the traditional AK-type rifle.

[FalseSuspect]

I agree with badluetenat!!! Say condor in your next vid if your in need of help Oklahoma if all is well

[falconthefox]

I'm curious, What is the RoF on that backhoe?

Nice Shirts to be sure!

Keep Shooting!

[Temorablue]

Wow could you tell about the backhoe?

[RebelSapper]

I agree... got me a closet full of Carhartt no nonsense shirts...

[badlieutenant13]

No gunfire??? No "Life is good" sign off??? Hickok must've been under duress, force or fear when he was made to do this video.

[hickok45]

@badlieutenant13, Caught you! You must not have seen any of the previous FAQ videos; we have a formula for them, more or less. :-)

[hitmhard]

@hickok45 Yes you do have a formula....lol Radio show "see you on the range" FAQ "Thats all I have to say about that" Shooting video "life is good"

[friskyrabbit]

I wish I had a buried cache of AK's lol

[commieforniatactical]

So you're not sponsored by them?

[MustBe21orUp]

what happened to your concealed handgun videos? you were supposed to do a series on it and i think i've only see ONE on concealed carry. :(

[hickok45]

@MustBe21orUp , I think there are three. There will be more.

[MrChompenstein]

What else can you say?! You could have been honest with us, and just said straight out that you buy Carhartt cause it makes you look so damned good! :D

[MrRichardbryan]

Happy Thanksgiving John and Greg ! ! You two are the best , just like Carhartt.

[gpodavid]

Carhartt jeans can take all kinds of abuse and last forever.  Mine were made in the USA and I will keep buying them until they start producing them in China.

[1xirsx1]

lol

[jasosak]

You didn't really answer the question.

[hickok45]

@jasosak, I believe I said "I buy them" somewhere there in the video. If they were sponsoring me, I don't believe I'd be buying them. :-)

[violenceinc]

@hickok45 Lol 'aks to dig up'. Was that a reference to 'About Face'?

[AlexSDU]

@hickok45

Indeed you did, sir, at 0:20. "That's why I buy 'em, and I wear 'em."

[greenpooter]

Well when you dig up the aks sell me one.

[retsaoter]

I sure hope you keep that 'lawn tractor' under control. You'd have to call in back-up if it were to go feral.

[semiautoriflelover1]

If you went on that show top shot season 2 you would be making millions right now, you would have 5 million subs also. You would be in pizza hut commercials and get all kinds of sponsors.

[Kimberdad]

Have to agree with you on this one. Carhartt fits me well. Seems as more and more clothing goes offshore both the quality and fit go down. Even Carhartt is making more and more stuff in China, and I've found the Chinese shirts aren't cut like the older ones.

[wilkbor]

Great video. Keep 'em coming.

[top2percent]

Review on the backhoe coming soon?

[hickok45]

@top2percent,  Yeah, we might even do a Chapter 2 video and a Close-up with it! :-)

[mrmjordan]

I like your sense of humor.

[SNOWTREKorg]

I love the carhartt stuff. Lasts forever....almost

[surfboardhacker]

Happy Thanksgiving Greg! Wishing You And Yours And Everyone Else Out There A Happy Turkey Day!

[hickok45]

@surfboardhacker, Thank you. 

[MrMosinNagant1937]

love my long sleeved carhartt shirt they make goo quality clothes.

[rsa1027]

and also to add carhartt is an american made brand name

[jonboynumba1]

LOL...I have some AK's to dig up!!

[quazy50158]

@jonboynumba1 yea i think thats a instant classic ....i think maybe because hickok probably does have some ak's or mosans buried.

[Slightapex]

I'll take one in short sleeve and 1 in long!!! Gotta show support!!!

[bgomusicco]

Hi, I'm Brian, and I'm addicted to Hickok45...

[Jackle61]

@bgomusicco: Hello Brian, Welcome.

[Mr1Ring]

I say you come out with your own line of T-Shirts. Nothing too crazy though, just a simple logo on basic color shirts like Grey, OD Green, and Black. Do a special run of Hickok45 RADIO Show shirts. They would sell...

[jdymes101]

found a carhartt skull cap. took it home, washed it. its my favorite. and i love some skull caps

[phlemdog]

I spent good money on LL bean winter stuff, till I realized carhartt is just as warm, lasts longer, and is about 1/3rd the cost.

[tiggerr42431]

Carhart and Under Armour gets you through a winter's day in a horse paddock. Fun video. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

[Fredruiz622]

You are the best no matter what you wear!!

Happy thansgiving from Puerto Rico!

[gunnuts82]

carhartt is quality stuff.

[lolque99]

Are you sponsored by guns? I always see you shooting them a lot. ;)

[fatsmile77]

Damn hickok! The nation Is in term-oil, and all u do is talk about bullshit! U care so much about our second amendment, not one you rally for Ron Paul! Cleaning a damn gun video? Are you serious? Do something positive!

[ICU762]

@fatsmile77 Like going around crying on youtube, about somebody's video?

[hickok45]

@fatsmile77, I trust you're practicing some Saturday Night Live skit sarcasm? Making a joke? If you're not joking, and poorly, I might add, my guess is that you just lost any potential votes for Ron Paul you thought you were going to pick up. :-)

[mercenarybdu]

@hickok45 I'm all in for defending our right to bare arms. I don't need to give anymore money to the government for them to do stupid things. Even if we do run out of bullets, there is always plenty of swords to go around. Hell, let's get rid of all the Looney Bins like what Reagan did back in the 1960's as Governor of CA. We'd be better off without those bins around.

[bamnmetal]

@fatsmile77 "term-oil"? Why don't you learn English kid. Did you just come home from the Wall Street Protest?

[MrZgti]

@fatsmile77 Ron Paul is awesome and in my opinion America's only choice if we want to get serious about the budget, but could you possibly be anymore of a disrespectful troll? You make our entire movement look horrible and Dr. Paul HIMSELF detests this type of behavior.

[horseboyhunglow]

@fatsmile77 take your shit else where dude somewhere that you can get the help you need for whatever is wrong with you which i'm suspecting is a lot!

[BUCKrub91]

@fatsmile77 I believe showing videos having fun and SAFELY shooting a gun Is doing something positive for the second amendment

Im sure alot of people who have never fired a gun before who come across hickocks channel want to try shooting... more people shooting = more people supporting the second amendment....

[Jakerem870tac]

@fatsmile77 Fuck off

[EvendimataE]

in calgary most of the construction workers wear carhartt..maybe about 70%...dickies maybe about 5%.... and the rest wear regular jeans

[fyldths]

i was wondering where you get yours cause i cant find the same style. TSC and rural king i buy them from. i though you where sponsered cause there not exactly cheap to buy but very nice to wear and last.

[utahraptor2]

Carhartt: slightly more American than AKs.

[arridedry]

lol at the, i got some aks to dig up, good videos!!

[spleen1666]

Carhartt is damn good quality.  I have a bunch of their stuff & never had a problem.

[mikez65]

LOL! God, you're the greatest!

[500SWMAGOPERATOR]

You could scoup up alot of fired bullets and take them to your smelting furnace to melt them down and cast new bullets.

[tacticalkimchi]

I was in -38 degrees and Carharts kept me warm!

[vinylpop]

Carhartt rocks!

[MrREAPER2014]

AK'S TO DIG UP! lol I like it, the super zombie stash...is that a tank in the background!

[FunkyPertwee]

I love the zoom-out from the back-hoe.

Great work Hickock!

[JAndersonIV]

Haha I had always noticed but never questioned that.

[jejustissIII]

"dig up some AKs." Oiling your garden?

[BoneHeadK47]

I love my carhartt coat. its hard to find a quality product these days.

[heiro44]

hey hickok you probably wont see this comment cause you get so many but i was wondering a few things number one are you a teacher... and thats it. there really is no number two although i want to say you make awesome videos and being a young shooting enthusiast i really enjoy how you treat your firearms with respect and safety while educating people about the specific firearm as opposed to just saying the name and emptying round after round while hee-hawing you are a great guy! :)

[kethompson98]

@heiro44 He is a teacher... i think at a highschool but im not sure.

[mugenfa5]

I have been noticing the same thing, I work at Bass Pro which sells that brand and I will have to agree. Although I'm in the warehouse where no fun is to be had, I like people that enjoy what I help to bring to you if that makes any sense. haha have a great Thanksgiving Hickok

[theDUKE197908]

I wish i had a  school teacher like this guy back in the day.

[bulltastik]

Hickok45.....you ever get tired of all these silly questions, including this one? Or is it just another avenue to exercise your creative writing skills?

[backwoods223]

@Neuropraxic HAHA. thats EXACTLY what i was thinkin when i saw it!

[1023471965]

Hickok45 using the front-loader to clean up all the -sh#t- YouTuber Trolls leave behind.

[bgomusicco]

I love carhartt. Probly the best jackets around.

[Dambo96]

I like Carhartt stuf in general , I've been wearing there Coveralls and Coats for about as long as I can remember. it can be a bit pricey depending where you shop but the durability more than makes up for it, the boots actually can be worn out rather then the glue coming apart after a few months like most imported crap does !

[dwDragon88]

Hickok, are you sponsored by Glock? You shoot a lot of Glocks. Hickok, are you sponsored by the state of Tennessee? You sure do a lot of shooting in Tennessee... Hickok, are you sponsored by.........?

[neonshoji]

Funny part is that you never actually answered the question. :)

[xAZAZELx13]

@Neuropraxic Because the video is tagged with Carhartt. I tag all my videos with Carhartt.  There is no better workwear period.

[keltec556]

Hickok do you smoke Romeo y Julietas often? In other words are you a true Mafia boss or are you just a gunrunner?

[SirJabsAlot]

lol good vid, yeah man carhartt makes good stuff

[IntoxicatedPeeDee]

i got the same exact shirt. very comfortable

[fire1777]

Colt or S&W sponsorship.... Please do it! :)

[MrClayblasdel]

There's nothing unethical about endorsing products we really like. If I wore Carhartt stuff (acually I wear their Detroit jacket) and somebody the company wanted to pay me for singing its praises, I wouldn't hesitate.

I have a problem with celebs prostituting themselves for any sponsor who pays them whether they use the product or nor. But when you like the product, go for it. Glock should pay you for your honest endorsements. I bought a Glock 19 based on watching you shoot. I was sold.
