Jim Armstrong and channel background: The majority of videos in this channel involve detailed evaluations of outdoor products such as flashlights and headlamps. I perform Search and Rescue as a private contractor and my focus is wilderness night operations. Reviews focus on actual field use of each product from a Search and Rescue perspective. Many reviews are performed over the course of several months and more than one video; they feature extensive use of products in realistic settings.
I an ex-bodyguard and volunteered for the Carrollton, TX PD from 2014 to 2023. I also volunteer for the Denton Police Academy and the US Forest Service, specializing in the LBJ Grasslands in Alvord, TX. Much of my personal views on gear are from a LE and private Security perspective. I have trained with a (NAD) Force Recon Marine in both executive protection and SAR Ops since 2014.
I am also a drone pilot and action videographer.
