Welcome to The Nutnfancy Project or TNP. I am an INDEPENDENT reviewer of "dangerous things" like knives, guns, fast cars, tac gear, and other stuff. I also review a variety of outdoor equipment. My focus is on high quality stuff that I like, that lasts, and delivers exceptional service for the price paid. I believe all gear should be systems based, integrating into a "Philosophy of Use" (POU) that the has been planned by the user. I have provided several foundational videos that discuss these POUs with the gear. My primary charter at TNP is a consumer advocate for my valued subscribers and I steer them towards the good deals and good dealers. As TNP continues to grow, this commitment will not change... only the ways I can best achieve it.
My reviews are based on my own military, law enforcement, tactical and outdoor experiences. But admittedly I am not the end-all expert. I'm always learning from others and these continuing experiences.

Each video represents my views at the time it was made. I am always striving to improve the accuracy, entertainment value, fun level, and quality of my videos.
Gear reviews are the basis of TNP. But along they way I show many outdoors adventures with the TNP Crew. I wish to also promote the protection and preservation of our wild places and show you their majesty along the way. I encourage you to also make good memories in such places with your family and friends, investing your time wisely.
MY INTENDED AUDIENCE FOR THE NUTNFANCY PROJECT (TNP): Initially targeted towards Law Enforcement and Military, my reviews are also intended for responsible civilians too and I fully support the concept of an armed, free people. I also acknowledge and thank my audiences around the world that sadly do not enjoy our freedoms in the US.
WHO IS NUTNFANCY?: Currently in the US Military, 19 yrs and counting. Currently, I keep these associations and the specifics vague for MANY valid reasons (internet stalkers threatening the family have surfaced). But they are real and not made up. Any discerning viewer should detect the validity of my background.
THE NUTNFANCY MISSION: To have fun and to help good people around the world learn about quality gear and not get ripped off. I enjoy helping cops, pilots, soldiers, and good citizens everywhere navigate the bewildering array of offerings and disinformation about it all. I will help you zone in on the good stuff and the good suppliers. I also like to encourage responsible and wise use of these items in the defense of good people. I encourage political activity to preserve our freedoms. I'm not trying to be better than anyone else, act like my opinion is the best, be a poser, be Superman, save the world, invent the cure for cancer, or act like the expert of experts. I'm just doing my thing, sharing my takes, having fun, and keeping it real.
THE ITEMS: The majority of items reviewed are NOT mine as I have several professional and retail sources for them. I prefer to acquire these items from other sources than the manufacturer as they will generally get personally offended about something I say about their favored product. A vocal minority may be abusive and confrontational when their item is not given a glowing review by Nutnfancy, engaging in personal attacks and amazing mischaracterizations of me in order to defend their purchase decisions. My promise to my subscribers is to keep my critiques real, honest, and as accurate as I can make them regardless of this unfounded and brand-myopic flak.
REVIEW REQUESTS: I get thousands of these but will only be able to do some of them. Some items are just hard to get and others I just don't care for and it would just be a negative review. Also this is just a hobby for me (can you believe it?!) and as such I try to keep it fun..
RESPONDING TO COMMENTS AND PMs: The demands of my real jobs and keeping the TNP going often prevent my replies to your messages. Most of my edited videos take 1 to 3 days to create. I do this in between my military, other job, friend, and family commitments. Moreover I am constantly engaged in my own gear projects which I usually share with you in video form. Yes I'm maxed out but I have a strong work ethic and will continue to produce hundreds of more videos full of adventure, fun, good times, and useful information. But answering the PMs sadly takes a backseat to this production priority. I strive now to answer more Channel Page Comments so others may benefit from the discussion. I will give video updates on the Project every quarter!
THE FUTURE: I have several imitators on YouTube that use my exact reviewing style, gear mix, and verbage as they try to duplicate TNP on their own YT Channel. That is flattering but I doubt anyone will ever duplicate the breadth, personality, and heart of TNP. Also TNP will grow MUCH bigger as time goes on and I will use that clout for you to get good gear at good prices. I am humbled by the popularity of TNP but it will never go to my head. I remained focused on the TNP mission of realness in gear assessments, fun, the preservation of liberty, and promoting and protecting the good things in life.
YOUR SUPPORT: BIG THANKS for clicking on my advertisers which support the TNP. I thank them too for supporting us! That small amount of revenue goes to gear acquisition for reviews. This is just a waste of time without you, my subscribers. YOU are the only reason I keep cranking this stuff out. If you quit diggin' I quit making it. Thanks for your nice comments, the good ratings, slapping down the dummies for their stupid and sometimes hateful comments, and especially the subscriptions as this feedback encourages me to make more.
