For me it’s Skallagrim. This is a channel of a guy who specializes in ancient armory and weaponry, he also reviews swords and stuff that’s sold online and tests them. Pretty cool.

But then I started to not like him for some reason and it took me a while to put my finger on it. Until I saw the video where he tried criticizing weapons in video games. Then that was where I found problems with him as a channel.

His personality comes off very pretentious and one of those pseudointellectuals you know, who try sounding smarter than they really are. He even has the voice tone to back that with.

So yeah I really once loved his channel. Though whenever he goes on tirades about things that are meant for fantasy purposes which aren’t supposed to make sense when translated to reality, as well as try to poke at fictitious things that borrow from ancient history, I feel he misses the plot of his entire channel and why people like me once subscribed to it.

We didn’t subscribe to your channel for your stupid takes on - anything. We subscribed because you seem to know your melee weapons and historical backgrounds of said weaponry. Stick to those.

    I watch Berm Peak every now and then. He lives in WNC where I do but he is not a local. Anyway he seems like a nice guy but god damn he rides some expensive shit. The whole Ozark Trial series was interesting. He liked the bike after he did a good tune on it. Talk about how for a casual trail rider it is a great value for he money and then proceeded to put lipstick on a pig by upgrading it. I think at the end the sum of the part on the frame was like in excess of 3000 bucks. I still don’t understand why he closed his AirBNB mountain bike retreat.
