The population of the US is approximately 330 million. Approximately 1 in 3 of us are gun owners. Collectively we own more guns than there are people. Estimates say we have a trillion rounds of ammunition. Even if 10% of gun owners fought against an invading force that would be 10 million with a nearly limitless supply of arms and ammunition.

There are over 750,000 amateur radio operators in the U.S.A. This forms a huge communication network. Even if regular communications (landline telephones, cellular telephones, internet) went out, the "hams" could still co-ordinate defense operations.

Anytime we come under conflict, we the people unite very quickly no matter how the media tries to divide us. That’s worth something

I love how much this nice family loves and appreciates america so much. I think more of us Americans need to do the same. 💙🇺🇸

They failed to take into account that here in the US, you'd have to go door to door like a salesman to get to our citizens. My great aunt slept with a gun under her pillow for nearly 70 years. She died at age 89... She was packing heat.

Remember a country's people don't have to like there government to defend their country. We the people will stand on our feet fighting, before dying to our enemies. It's not just our current military or even potential military force, it's our veterans and 80% of civilians who are armed as well.

You all spending this time to do these reactions together as a family is just about the best possible use of your time. I am not married but do have 11 brothers and sisters and spending quality time with children helps them grow into great people. Well done. 😃

We are DEFINITELY friends! We (Americans) love Kiwis and Aussies. Our only complaint about you is, you are so far away it makes it hard to visit! You need to move your countries closer, please. JK HA HA. Love you, guys!

When you visit the USA and are driving on an Interstate Highway, remember that it was built primarily for the purpose of quickly moving troops to wherever they are needed for national defense.

Sad part is... if an enemy made it to the mainland USA, 50% of our population would not only let the enemy in but listen to what they have to say.

Antimony is used to harden the lead in bullets especially ones that don't have a copper jacket. Military small arms ammunition like the 5.56x45 mm M855 "green tip" is a hardened steel penetrator core surrounded by soft lead (pure lead) swaged into a copper jacket. Since it's a full jacketed round, antimony isn't needed to mix with the lead to harden it. There is a replacement for the M855 that is just copper with the hardened steel penetrator inside and dose away with lead completely, but I don't know if it has been fully adopted as the Lake City, Missouri plant still makes literally tons of M855 rounds every day. The biggest use for antimony is in electronics. Also, the lead mines that closed was due to overseas competition and not because they are out of lead ore, so they can be reopened and retooled in the event of conflict. Fun fact:. My grandmother worked at the Des Moines Ordnance Plant during WWII making .50 caliber machine gun ammunition.

I saw a similar video on another channel. Here is one thing to consider. The state where I live, Wisconsin, had over 600,000 registered hunters a couple of years ago. At the time, when all these people were carrying arms, they were the 7th or 8th largest army in the world. And that is just one state. Plus, these are trained hunters, not just some conscript. They practice their marksmanship and know how to take care of their weapons. An invasion of the United States would be horrific for the country/countries attempting it.

What they also didn't mention is in the event of a land invasion US citizens have more guns and ammunition then any other country. Pick almost any 3 or 4 states and the hunting population would be the largest standing army in the world.

5:18 funniest moment! Denzel is unimpressed, thinking the US uses the rivers to transport goats. Luckily his dad is there to clarify. 😂

I wish this family lived next door to us here in Seattle. What great people they are. God Bless New Zealand and this great family.

3:52 by policy/design, a certain portion of the interstate highway surface must be straight so that airplanes can use them as emergency runways. i don't remember the exact amount, but it is something like in every 10 miles, one mile must be straight.

How cute was Denzi immitating his dad's hand gestures at the start of the video. Too cute!!!

I have lived in Texas my entire life. I have been around guns........ MY ENTIRE LIFE! When I turned 18 I felt it was pointless for me to sign my draft registration. I have always stuck with...... “If we get to a point where the draft is needed I will have already been fighting for YEARS. I’m not gonna specify what my family has but if it comes down to it.......... we will be our own unit. We have survival skills, we have medical skills, we have fighting skills and we have MANY MORE skills that would keep us alive and make our enemies DEAD! They probably wouldn’t even know what hit them. America’s enemies need to realize that before they try attacking here. YOU ATTACK AMERICANS ON OUR LAND.......... YOU ARE NOT FIGHTING THE GOVERNMENT. The military has ROE (Rules of Engagement) that control and stop them from fighting dirty! Civilians don’t! Especially the armed civilians! My family has already agreed if it came down to that............ NO PRISONERS, NO MERCY! The only thing you’ll get if you come after us is pain and death!

I have successfully taught my dogs to fetch my hidden guns from several locations with 2 words/each location in case I ever have an intruder and its not within reach. Now I'm teaching them how to get my "party size" boxes of ammo also.

So glad you guys came through the storm with seemingly not much damage.

A beautiful New Zealand Family that has been winning the hearts of countless Americans. New Zealand is one of the countries that I have great respect for. I am so thankful that the USA and New Zealand are friends.

New Zealand love this country keep going guys and we love your channel. from California USA

I lived in Duluth Minnesota for 3 years and drove highway I -35e from the major freighter ports there all the way south to San Antonio ,Texas. It takes pretty much the same route as the Mississippi River . Another supply line.

The US actually has plenty of Antimony. It just doesn't have many mining operations dedicated to it. It's the same with some other critical metals, like Rare Earth Metals. The reason for not having domestic suppliers is simple economics, other countries can mine and process these things cheaper. The lack of secure supplies of critical resources is changing though. The US government has passed a couple of bills lately that give subsidies to a whole mess of industries to secure resources within the country: uranium, rare earths, lithium, cobalt, nickel, graphite, artificial intelligence, 5G telecommunications technology, semiconductors, biotech, green energy and quantum computing. There's also been a lot of activity lately shoring up trade agreements with friendly countries. Ultimately, the US would like to decrease dependance on Russia and China for anything important. I wish I could tell you New Zealand would benefit from some of these changes but we're pretty good on sheep here in the US. 😉

Many manufacturers switched their production to ventilators and PPE at the height of the pandemic The automotive industry came up with new designs making ventilators more efficient. We also have a large public health infrastructure which allows for swift mobilization for man made or natural disasters. Since 911, we have been preparing for all different types of disasters. Many systems in place that go unseen.-- Hope your family is safe from the flooding and storms. Sending positive thoughts your way.

@Your New Zealand Family….I love your content and I love the curiosity you have to learning other countries capabilities and patriotism. Please stay safe in this crazy world and keep loving like there is no tomorrow. Much love from the U.S.A. ❤️🙏❤️

Watching your son mimic dad's hand motions is both hilarious and heartwarming. We train our families constantly. Good job.

Glad our geography worked for us, more happy we have an armed populous and love for our country… and a love for our true friends like our NZ family.

Hearing of the horrendous damage being done by cyclone is concerning And then an earthquake??? Prayers to all of you and your beautiful country. PLEASE stay safe.

Been loving ya'lls videos! I'll be working abroad there in New Zealand after I graduate. Excited!

10:21 when he says "that's a massive truck" he doesn't even know the scale of it. Lol. The tires are twice the size of a tall man. And the whole truck is monstrous.

The Chinese spy balloon flying across the US was just plain weird! It was like something out of a sci-fi movie.

i have a friend in the venezuelan army. he's told me that they couldn't invade florida, let alone any other portion of the usa. and he further mentioned that cuba would be incapable of even invading miami, florida.

U guys are so nice..I'm in Boston mass ..Paul Revere, we took out the British..U guys are very safe with us beside u..Thankyou

Sending prayers to New Zealand. I am thankful you guys are okay. ❤

If we were ever invaded, this Texan would gladly lay his life down on the line to defend the Homeland at all costs. #SemperFidelis

Ever since learning the filming of LOTR took place in New Zealand I have been absolutely fascinated with the country and I love y’alls reactions as well, and after hearing all the news with the weather tragedies I really hope y’all are doing well!

Happy You guys got thought the storm. Me and some co-workers of mine and my family were talking about this stuff the other day. I was in Desert Shield/Storm in 91. I remember the F-117 being used for the 1st time. That plane was developed in the 70's and was not used or shown tell the 90's I can only imagine what we have hidden tell its need now.

I was raised on a farm yard with wild dogs we call coyotes that'd mess with our chickens and dwindle our number of hens so I was raised from a young age that a gun was used as a tool and was highly respected and revered, as kids we started out our training with BB guns/ a pellet gun/ bow & arrow/ slingshot, if we proved that we were responsible with those we were then trained and practiced a higher or stronger weapon, but again we were ALWAYS ALWAYS reminded, took safety classes to carry and use as a Very Last Resort, and if misused or where careless in any way, we got that "Privalege" taken away from us. Because we lived on a farm all or most of us had a pocket knife nearby to help cut twine off the hay bails, and such things we had to do with daily chores on a farm.

Can you guys believe we are almost up to 300k ? It's been a long trip but yall have improved so much. The kids have grown up. Sam and Nadine I am so proud of you.

So happy to see that you are all okay. As for the video, one thing the narrator didn't touch on was that strange metal you said you never heard of, antinomy, he said the US has to rely on China and Russia for it, but actually we don't. The US has it's own antinomy mines in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, and Nevada.

Keep up the good work buddies, I really enjoy your content and look forward to years more. God bless you and your family 🙏

"To ship goats across America" got me good 😂I'm a New Yorker and it did sound like goats

Glad to see you are all okay...great video, thank you for the content.

Even being someone from the U.S I learn so much from these videos 👍

I enjoy it when I freeze your videos and notice you and your son often have the same expressions and your wife and daughter share the same expressions. Love your videos

I love seeing the amazement in your son to see maybe a quarter of the tanks we have and our supply. You guys are very lucky to have us as allies and we’re lucky to have y’all!

Add on top of that, the fact that many of us Americans believe in maintaining a year's supply of food storage in our homes so if we need it we have it. We treat our pantries like mini grocery stores and rotate the food buying fresh while it is in season and preserving it ourselves. Some buy whole cows, hogs and hunt for deer as well as fish to keep freezers full of meat. We are trained to do that from generations back.

Great video and great reaction and yes invading US is like a rifle behind every blade of grass, a japanese commander once said.

They forgot to mention that most the highways, railways and rivers all run parallel to eachother so that if one is disabled troops and supplies can still move freely with one of the other two. And the highways can have the median dividers moved to block them if they need to or removed to use the road as landing strips for planes.

Kiwis and Aussies our our mates, our cousins across the pond. They are tough fun loving folk ! Americans got your back !

This family is legendary and honorary Americans in my eyes.

I’m American North Georgia and I stand with you brother. God bless you.

I'm glad that you guys survived the storm.

Good afternoon NZFamily Hope you guys are OK. Many prayers are being offered up for you and all NZers that are suffering from this recent cyclone. Hugs from N.C..❤️

Thats so cool you guys have santa cruz clothes there, i didn't know the brand was that big

Haven't visited in a while. Big 👍 to you, and snd our nations enduring friendship.

So glad you all are ok. Love your reactions.

Happy Valentine's Day! Love this family! 💞❤️💕

from the outside we are nearly invincible. its the inside where we are in big trouble...

I am sure several has mentioned this, but I cannot how much mom and daughter look so much alike wow. As I watch your video's which I do enjoy very much I cannot help but almost stare at how much they look alike, uncanny.

From what I've read , I hope everyone is okay. Seems you are! That is a beautiful thing. Please stay safe. Love you, Bless yyou all.

“The weakness of America is not on the outside but on the inside”-Abe Lincoln

It’s really true. We are a very well armed civilian population. I’m a 51 year old lady in a wheelchair and even I carry a gun. It’s not for offense it’s for defense. If a threat of war broke out, you will see almost the entire civilian population buying guns. And mind you, some families have a gun room with maybe 20 or 30 rifles, shotguns and pistols ready to use. Rural families use weapons for hunting and defense against larger apex predators (grizzly bears, wolves). I grew up in Wyoming and learned responsible gun ownership. Please don’t be afraid when you visit us. We treasure our 2nd amendment right to bare arms….against any threat foreign and domestic. We aren’t gun nuts. We just already know the kinds of terroristic threats that exist in the world today. Much love from the corn belt ! Iowa ! Woo hoo !

After watching Google what on earth, I decided to look on Google maps too. Well somehow it lead me to California and I saw this patch of what seemed to be brown light brown dirt patch that was huge the size of a city. So I zoomed, zoomed, and more zooming until I could see what was there. It wasn't empty land. It was a military storage base. Hundreds of miles of bunkers, vehicles, helicopters, and tanks. The compound was soooo huge!!!! The bunkers were all underground you could tell where the ground lumped up and a door was at the end of each of these giant mounds. In Arizona they have an airport air force base fulllll of unused military planes, people think it's a graveyard but it not! They're all just waiting. The windows, cracks, ports, storage their all wrapped up to prevent damage, dirt, rot, bug, and vandalism. As far as the eye can see is huge massive military planes and jets just waiting. And those are just two states and two small areas in these large states. Imagine if you put all fifty states together, every military base! Not only that but the citizens are armed, the citizens live in a very developed country. Want to attack us by water to land, better prepared to take on all of our citizens with boats and weapons. Better attack us from the soft cry babies of California if you attack from the south you have all the swamps and country land you have to fight to get through if you attack from the east you have the most patriotic but angry citizens in the country who take no bull. If you come from the north you freeze to death. If you attack from the west you have to get through California which is huge!!! And after that you have the wild west, gun toting, tobacco spitting, rattle snake wearing western men who live in the west because you have the right to protect you and your land. In the west you can buy tobacco, a gun, liquor, and your baby diapers all in one place don't fuck with the west. I do have to say the south beats the west. You have to make it past our hill people, our hillbillies, you also have to make it through the sovereign citizens who don't take part in our society's so they live off in the woods and they love to protect America against foreign Invaders. The south is also full of veterans who would once again give their life for the country. Many doomsday preps live in the south, also so does the kkk good luck with those areas. You'll also have to make it past out gator countries... Best thing about the south is... You can't trust the wilderness! The creatures will stalk you and eat you alive and no one will know you're missing. Let's also mention the cults that live all around America, and all the other compounds that believe if you put one step on their land they have the right to shoot you and no one will know because you're miles from a neighbor or any other help. Let me also mention the weather. American weather changes all over the country and it goes from one extreme to the next. Arizona is deadly hot in the day and deadly cold at night. Texas is right next to the ocean all that water means you die from the heat but humid heat. Out of the frying pan into the pot. America even has many many military bases that aren't needed right now... Just wait until we need them imagine how large our military will grow. Oh did I mention each state has their own military. National guard. Each state commands their own national guard so even if our main military branches are all busy we are still covered here on the main land at all times. No matter how many times people fight to disband the military it's only a couple steps to refill and reopen closed military bases. We are a massive force and that is why people fear us and other countries use us for protection like Puerto Rico and Guam. Countries like North Korea have no idea what we are capable of they underestimate us and over glorify their own people. I also need to mention the size of our military I don't mean numbers I mean literal size. Our people are freakishly tall and some freakishly muscular. I hope our country never has to go to war I hope our military saves us a seat so we don't have to attend war on our land. I'm very happy and proud of my countries military and the vets who served. God bless America.

Antimony is not a really rare metal, but it is used in a lot of low melting point alloys like lead or silver soldier used in electronics and plumbing.

I learned some things, too! Thanks for reacting to this! I sure hope you are staying safe in the hurricane (cyclone?). You are in my prayers. 🙏💜

In the 1970's It was estimated the US had a 900 year reserve of coal, we are the Saudi Arabia of coal. Most of our electricy used to be generated by coal, but now more plants are converting to natural gas. Now instead of burning coal the idea is to come up with a cheap and safe method to convert coal into oil or propane or natural gas.

Also, don't forget the SEAL saying , "Failure is not an option." Many Americans have this ingrained into our very being.

So happy to see y'all I guess you came out of that Cyclone okay a lot of Americans were worried about your family... we take our protecting our country very seriously another great video👋🏻🙏🏻✌🏻🤠

Over here it is Valentine's Day,so Have a Happy Valentine's Day! ❤️

Love your stuff. Keep it coming. Watching from Ontario Canada 🎉

My numbers maybe be off a bit, but i believe that Eisenhower made it so that for every 5 miles of highway, at least 1 mile has to be straight, to be used in wartime as emergency landing/take off locations for aircraft.

Another deterrent is the fact that the citizens have more small arms than most militaries.

Glad you are safe. My cousin from Michigan and her Kiwi husband Nick are in Taupo on holiday. Nick’s dad had his house washed away.

"You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass." Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto

Americans (being one myself) are like siblings growing up...we fight and argue amonst ourselves ALL the time but let something happen that brings us together and it's scary how quick we'll have each others back.

One thing he gave very little time to, is the American citizen. In the farm land we own probably ly an average of 3 firearms per family, and most of us know how to use them being experienced hunters and outdoorsmen. If they get through all this video talks about they still have to contend with us. Look up the numbers you'll be shocked!

Hello NZ family, I'm glad you survived the storm. Here in Florida, we are having a cool snap (50 degrees F, 10 C). Any damage? This teen loves America, our politicians I hate. Our politicians are morons (from the news I guess NZ has morons in office, too) because they are letting Chinese balloons fly across the country before it was shot down. I love your videos. Hope I'll see another new one later this week, when I'm at Daytona watching my favorite sport. Auto Racing...( You should do a video of craziest crashes in NASCAR.)

I respect that the boy doesnt say anything😂 that kid been stoic for every video ive watched

I also heard goats 🤣 we ship lots of goods and some people may also be shipping goats. Have you decided on the part of the US you'd like to visit first? We've been having a very mild winter in MN but on the average year it gets way too cold for most people. Summer in the southern states can be unbearably hot for a lot of people. There's just so much to see and do, a lot of the national parks fill up quickly if you were thinking of camping. Usually you can still visit but you'll need a place to stay close by.

Hope all is well by you all!! Hello from central Texas

Awwww you guys are such a beautiful family. You guys really seem to love America 🇺🇸

I love you guys! Am I the only one who waves and says hi when you guys say it lol?

Lol Denz😂 Glad y’all are safe!

All of your videos are great! Keep it up!

Shoutout to your children. They seem so well mannered. Tom from Texas😀

While WW2 WE had Manufactured well over 49000 Sherman Tanks built Chrysler (Chrysler car company, Kleenex made 50cal. ,Ford made airplane, my work At F&M Hat co. Made fillters)

Hi it's me kandi I'm in Texas and I just wanted you to know,yes crude oil is huge here,I live on 65 acres of land, they wanted to drill for oil on our land..just to put things into perspective (in the wet areas on land near the creek,the oil pool to the top of the water leaving a beautiful watery rainbow mix of colors on the surface.) OH and I raise alot of animals..chickens ducks turkeys quails rabbits goats and soon some cows so if and when times get tough at least I can take care of my family

Hi family. It's always nice to turn on my cell phone and find you guys there. It's a pleasure to see You all.

7:14 BTW, that equipment is in the "graveyard". That is all stuff we DONT use.

Nice video! Awesome reactions!

Hope everyone is safe and secure with that storm.

As an American, I am thinking of your country struggling with floods and a 6.2 earthquake. I wish the best for the NZ family we love. The earthquake scale is logarithmic and each successive digit is 10x in magnitude. A 6.3 earthquake is therefore 100x the typical California earthquake.

911 showed that enemies can get thru; however, a friend was working as an ATC in Atlanta and told me all aircraft was on the ground in 2 mins. Also fighter planes were in the air and on the job within 2 mins. But, even with this, so many perished.

BTW, your little girl looks just like her momma. You guys have a beautiful family. I really enjoy your guys' opinions.

I've been absolutely obsessed with your channel recently, much love from Colorado!!

Glad you're all doing ok after the cyclone. It's pretty obvious the US is not to be messed with but we need to make sure Russia and China don't try to the advantage of other smaller countries.

I work for a railroad that pulls train cars from the coal mines. At just one mine in sw Virginia, we pull 600 loaded cars a week. That's just one of 7 that we pull in our immediate area. That's not including dump trucks and tractor trailers that load all day, every day. There is coal just laying in our rain runoff ditches in east kentucky.
