I have zero justification for a helmet but I've watched this whole video twice cause Lucas can shoot fast and that's cool and papa mike thumb's voice makes me knees weak

I have a helmet. But my parents make me wear it and it's not for shooting. 😔 It also has an attached drool rag.

I'm confused. seeing Daddy Garand compels my latent urges to post homoeroticism, but we're not on his channel and I don't want to creep out Lucas.

I wish I was this close to my dad

Lucas's face looks like it's pent up with months of pent up rage towards Mike. STOP CALLING ME A THOT REEEEEEE

Why do I own a helmet? Because America.

You guys rock. You're inspiring young guns every day and are hella solid role models in the curremtly depressing society we're in right now. Thank you guys so much, just a dude from MS giving some love.

“Yeah so go buy night vision” *cries in military enlisted pay*

that's what a 12 grand helmet looks like folks.

good stuff gents

If you've ever been on lock-down because someone in your unit lost their NODs, hit the subscribe button.

A new video from you guys, I am so happy. It’s a Christmas miracle! Just what I wanted this holiday season. Thanks!

Love the collabs with garand!! Keep it up Lucas and Mike huge fan of both you gentlemen. Keep giving us those knowledge bombs

Thanks for doing this! I don't have a need to wear one but I always want to know more about the next level and you guys paved the way for that! Keep doing this kind of stuff please!

These guys put out some of the best and honest content on the internet. Glad to have learned about them.

I love your reasoning..., because I can. Don't need anything more than that.

i like the civilian/non-civilian meta. good video. i like to dance in my ballistic helmet in my living room...naked.

10:26 *That pennywise smile breaking out.*

Thanks guys. I’ve been thinking about getting into night vision, and of course helmets, for some time. Your video really helped me on how I might set mine up and what I’ll need to do it. Thanks for sharing and have a MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄

Love these collaborations. Thanks Mike for coming over.

11:38 guys we're still recording

Oh yeah? Well my helmet has all that and an integrated PEZ dispenser

I am so happy I decided to go looking for more videos with these two. That ending is my favorite thing of all time

Thanks guys keep up the helpful work. You two work together very well and are very helpful.

I wish everything could be answered with "because it's america *motherfucker*" God bless boys

Rocking the old PVS 7's over here, NVG's are Rad!

Great vid! The two different perspectives you guys bring is highly helpful. Thanks and keep up the good work. AMERICA!!!

Love your review, advice and BadAss holsters. Keep up the good work guys. 💪🏼

God I fucking love America

Do a NOD overview video so us peasants can dream

I'm glad there's finally a video of you two that I can actually listen to with no gun fire overshadowing your conversation.

Nice video. Appreciating the combined knowledge of two of my go to gun guys!

"It's America, buy what you want." Best reason ever for NVGs

its good to see the second amendment being supported by the LGBT community

Very good video for someone just getting into night vision. I learned quite a bit from you. Thanks for posting.

Love the music that started to fade in. Also love the bloopers 😂

This dude Lucas gotta smile a bit from time to time

I have zero reason to get a helmet or night vision. However, I will buy some eventually. I gotta look cool during the airsoft games.

I have three things I want to say...1.I absolutely love when these guys do duo videos. They always come out with amazing content! 2. Lucas looks like he has been hitting the gym which is awesome for him. Keep up the good work!3. I pray that I am never on the shit end of a gunfight with these two guys. How fucking terrifying would that be?!

I was blessed to have a friend find me a gently used blemless Elbit Gen 3 thin filmed green phos PVS-14 for $1950 shipped. Low Light Innovations makes a terrific "white" filter that essentially mimics white phos in appearance with limited light transmission loss for only $25. To save money on the mount, he suggested an "Evolution Gear L4G24 NVG Mount Perfect Replica" for only $85 shipped instead of the $465 for the real one, and the quality is phenomenal. I also picked up a used Wilcox AN/PVS-14 Arm for $150 shipped down from the original $229 price. Botach has a Longfri Level IIIA ballistic helmet for only $199 that is around 3 pounds, good quality for the price and there are lots of ballistic test videos on them. I also went with the FCS AMP Headset that is a fully functioning Replica of the Ops Core AMP for only $175 shipped down from $999 for the real one. I plan on running a Disco 32 PTT with them to get my Comms squared away. Although all of this stuff is still expensive, there are ways of making NVGs and Comms realistically affordable instead of an unobtainable pipe dream. I highly encourage yourself and others to do the same. I was able to have just as functional of a setup for a little more than $2,500 that would have been $7,500+ if I had gone "Gucci" on everything...............

"so why exactly do you need a pair of Night Vision Goggles?" "This is America. I can buy what I want"

Daddy Garand spitting knowledge with the help of some skinny nerd

Yay daddy Garand and lucas showering us with some awesome knowledge!

Night vision on motorcycles an 4 wheelers has gotta be a blast great review an Helmet set ups lots of help

Love to see a video on recommending a more budget friendly NVG system. If such a thing exists. Would love to get into NVG training

about friggin time. ive just been lying on my living room floor in my underwear waiting for another trex vid. my dog wont even look at me

What a great and detailed explanation

This is what I love honesty of why you carry the gear no I’m an operator or I do it for prep your honest you say you don’t need this it’s just cool and nice to have honesty for me goes a long way you just got a subscriber both of you;)

helmets are useful for...boating, climbing/rappelling, protection while riding ATV's and off-road vehicles, skateboarding/bmx/snowboard/ski/enter your sport here, biking to work/wherever, scuba diving, skydiving, construction/ scaffolding safety, the headsets can be used for amateur radio use during all previously stated activities, cameras can be mounted to them, they can be any color at all. If you own a head there is a use for a helmet, not smushing your head.

You know You’re old when Everyone is using 14 Bravos (PVS 14’s) and You were issued 7 Deltas (PVS 7’s) on a Shity Brain Bucket.

I’d just like to say that, I’m 100% behind what you guys do, and everyone has the absolute right to buy whatever they want, and I firmly believe in civilians having every ounce of access to every outlet possible to be able to train themselves and learn the tactics and maneuvers that those of us that are in the military train in. Because the day could easily come without notice that we are invaded, and America will need every man and rifle she can muster. But when you are a civilian running a KZfaq channel offering advice on how to “Operate” with no real formal military training, there’s going to be a lot of people from the military community that are going to find you funny man, that’s just facts. Love the content you guys put out there and I have much appreciation for your attention to detail. Lots of well said things, and accurate information, You guys have done your research and put time in getting this stuff down, it certainly shows, for that, my hats off to you. Don’t let any shit any military guys say get to you. It’s all banter, and most of them are probably POG’s anyway...

Great video guys thanks for the content!

Can we see a review on NVGs please?

Helmets are only cool if you didn't grow up having to wear one🙃😜🙃😛

awwww you guys match thats so cute! and comparing your helmets too;) brings me back to gradeschool sleepovers.

You guys are awesome. Love the helmets, just have no practical use for one myself.

Unfortunately I live in the communist country of California and I think all my ballistics and NVG's make me an enemy of the state...can u guys explain to my wife that I need all this real world gear to be a more effective Airsoft player

"Oh, I'm sorry, I thought this was America." My answer for most stupid questions I get asked.

That ending clip was my favorite collaboration clip I’ve ever seen.

Great video. Love your holsters. Going to get one or to more soon hopefully.

Could you do a video on how you are able to manage recoil and shoot flat so well?

What's up with Lucas? He used to look like he loved his job and now he looks like he hates everything

These videos are awesome

Hell ya!! We love new vids!

AND GIVE LUCAS THE GARAND

Who would date a chick that didn’t already own her own Night Vision. That’s an automatic deal breaker for me.

Every Lukas I know is cool 😎. Thanks for the good info mr. Thumb. I really enjoy watching your videos

Lucas and Mike all the best for the holiday season peace and health to you all, and " Lucas dude relax man" have a good one guys stay safe.

Army still uses MBITR's... Sadly...

Lucas have u or mike used the sig p320

Very cool, definitely want to hear more about NODS/IR setups. Covered helmet, mount, and strobes in this, but nothing about the night vision themselves.

these 2 are a great combo

My helmet is ribbed

Its not a bill of needs! Its a bill of rights!

Great vid guys thanks.

Awesome video guys loved the ending LoL.

Mike, do you ever deploy?

I spend all my money on helmets just to look tacticool

Love u guys man love when u guys collaborate.....

You look like you're being graced by freaking angels with how bright the light is

"Gear Queer"

Are you an operator? “No” are you in the military or law enforcement? “No” well why are you so high speed? “Because fuck you this is America and i can that’s why.”

Thanks for the video, I like the videos together. I like the ops core but I think I’m going to go with the HHV ATE for the price and then get a TW strap set.

|Really love watching you two guys collaborating....perfect. LOL!

And here I was thinking I was clever and screwing the boom mic mount inside of my MITCH helmet. Shit is getting ridiculous, these helmets are looking more and more like we’re copying airsoft and not the other way around.

It's one thing to listen to an active duty person give his thoughts on the subject and another to listen to some civilian with no experience at all. I just can't take this kid seriously.

Good vid, thanks. Enjoying the comments from your groupies...😎

You guys are great! My experience is in long distance shooting. I like that you emphasize training in all of your video's. I'm from Michigan, where can I get both pistol and rifle training in the mid-west region? Thank you and keep up the great work.

Jokes on you the army provides me with all this badass gear all paid by sweet tax money

Why talk about a helmet and accessories (Safariland) that aren't available to the average consumer?

Beautiful helmets

Omg splinter cell! I love you GarandThumb!

Hahaha. Love seeing civilians deck out with gear like this for no reason. Zero need for, just looks cool

Lucas has one of those faces that you just want to punch.

Awesome content

Someone else commented on this already, but it'd be cool to bring back the Garand and do drills with it between GT and Lucas. Obviously the future is now and all, but it'd be interesting to see how certain drills would be done within a set amount of limitations.

Great lighting

The genuine disappointment on Mikes face when Lucas didn't know who sam was. Golden

Great Video

Great video
