As a Youtube creator that makes money selling products on Youtube I often get hate, and get accused of being "a shill". So in this video I explain what the word "shill" actually means, and I go into full-disclosure mode about how I deal with manufacturers and resellers when making affiliate sales on Youtube. I also discuss why I (so far) have never done any paid-endorsements on my Youtube videos. I also explain why I always recommend that why, as a creator I always recommend that my viewers buy things on Amazon (preferably with my Amazon Affiliate links) instead of purchasing directly from manufacturer or reseller's websites - even when that means that I make a lower affiliate sales percentage. ►Want to help support my channel?

This HYS 25 high-powered UHF (GMRS / ham) walkie-talkie is the highest power HT I have found yet. This is a UHF "LMR" radio that can transmit on UHF, GMRS and (some) ham frequencies - IMHO, the ability to transmit on ham (70cm) and GMRS makes this HT the ultimate high-power SHTF communications radio. I show you the issues this radio has, I test the power output, and I test the transmitting range to see how far it can transmit. - You can get a set of two 25-Watt Walkie Talkies here: https://amzn.to/3HonFE0 -- You can get the programming cable here: ---- Link to the programming cable i use: https://www.buytwowayradios.com/wouxun-pco-001.html?cmid=amsreGRvTmttM0k9&afid=MTc0SmRGN2tRQW89&ats=U1JhSVo3MnlyNzA9 Like my shirt?

The NotARubicon (Jeep Wrangler JK) broke an axle shaft going up a difficult waterfall on the Doran trail at Calico. The Jeep had to be pulled up the waterfall obstacle after snapping the axle. We attempted a trail repair since the group leader had a spare axle shaft but after pulling the shaft we found it was sheared clean too close to the differential. We put the axel back in and limped approximately 1 mile back down the difficult trail to the pavement. Because the Jeep only had 2-wheel drive (front wheels) we had to winch over every moderately difficult spot. We were 83 miles from home. Thank goodness for the AAA free towing benefit. New chromoly axle shafts will be installed to replace the stock shafts. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZbSMeQjVEs
