48- Adriel the Hunting Gear Guy: Making Content, Competing, and Passing On Knowledge

Modern Canadian Shooter Podcast

On this episode of the MCS Podcast, we have someone who you've probably seen on YouTube or heard his voice on the Slamfire Radio Podcast, Adriel the Hunting Gear Guy.
In this installment, we dive deep into the Canadian world of firearms and gear reviews with the Hunting Gear Guy, himself. Adriel started his YouTube channel to cut through the bias and provide honest, comprehensive reviews. Join us as we explore the challenges of unbiased reviews in traditional media versus the transparency of independent platforms like YouTube.

Pat and Adriel talk about Canadian GunTubers like Epic Arms, who fearlessly dissect technical details, and the impact of their critiques on manufacturers. Our conversation extends to personal experiences with firearm issues, the importance of self-critique in competitions, and the significance of third-person perspectives in analyzing body movements.

Adriel also takes us on a journey through his transition from written articles to YouTube and shares insights into the varying approaches of firearm reviews. Design flaws, ergonomics, and user considerations in firearm design are on the table, along with a closer look at safeties, hunting rifles, scopes, and shotguns.

Pat and Adriel also discuss issues with different generations of firearms, specifically focusing on the Kodiak Gen 2 180C and the MCR. Adriel also talks about how we became a host as well as the longevity of the Slam Fire Radio podcast. Adriel touches on the supportive nature of the competitive shooting community, Twitch streaming regulations, and the potential evolution of content creation in response to changing firearm laws.
