@skillsgaptrainer Dear T.Rex Arms, Lucas, and Isaac,

It’s not often that we come across content creators who are able to juggle a balance of educating, entertaining, and advocating for something so important yet so often misunderstood as firearms, self-defense, and personal sovereignty. In fact, what you’re doing with your YouTube channel is much more than creating engaging content – you’re cultivating a cultural, historical, and intellectual foundation that resonates with our individual rights, freedoms, and public safety.

Educational establishments and military may spend trillions every year, yet effective defense isn’t solely created through these large, often inefficient, establishments. Progress in personal sovereignty, public safety, and national security can be accomplished simply by two well-intentioned YouTube influencers providing high-quality domestic education and engaging communication.

It’s human instinct to venture onto something new once we reach a significant milestone. It’s like the martial artist who earns his black belt and then feels a pull to explore a new discipline. But, there’s value in deepening the mastery of what we already have, and you’ve both carved a niche that is incredibly impactful. Therefore, I encourage you to stay the course, explore the project management aspect of delegation, and perhaps even consider extending your platform to include other experts in the field.

Sports shooting, for instance, is an area that’s often overlooked and unheard of, especially here in Canada where the culture around it is drastically different. A deep dive into professional sports shooting – IDPA, IPSC, PCC, PRS, USPSA – could open up a whole new facet of your channel, and I’m sure many of your viewers would be interested in what they could learn from professional sports shooters.

Moreover, expanding your team with military experts would not only provide varied perspectives and content but also free up your time to focus on other aspects of T.Rex Arms. I imagine there’s a wealth of potential topics and lessons these experts could share with your audience, contributing to the multifaceted knowledge ecosystem you’ve started to build.

Hollywood may not create content conducive to cultural progress, but you do. In a world where misinformation is rife, and certain aspects of our culture, history, and politics are at risk of being erased or forgotten, channels like yours play a vital role in preserving and disseminating essential knowledge.

I found your “Why Everyone Needs an AR-15” video particularly insightful, and it showcased how historical knowledge can enhance our understanding of defense capability. Isaac, you have a knack for political theory, firearms advocacy, historical explanation, and technical equipment analysis. It would be great to see you delve into more technical and resilience-based topics like mesh networking, navigation, using MacBook’s with Ubuntu, VPN Routers, LORA radio, 3D printing, firearms maintenance, fixing firearms/gunsmithing, Radioddity GD-88, BTECH DMR 6X2 PRO, AnyTone AT-D878UVII, Wouxun KG-UV9PX HAM Two-Way Radio & SHTF Scanner.

You could also delve into vehicle emergency preparedness enhancement technology, such as Radioddity DB25-D Mini Mobile Radio.

Your channel has inspired me and others to delve into these topics ourselves, thereby expanding our understanding and boosting cultural preservation in Canada. We have even added 12 historical/firearms rights reports/articles to our website, inspired by the topics you cover on T.Rex Arms. Your channel has become more than just a source of firearms advocacy and sports shooting training. It is a bastion of cultural security and identity, encouraging individuals to remain true to their beliefs and upbringing. You have made it acceptable for us to express ourselves and embrace our warrior ethos, asserting values such as nobility, valour, competence, ambition, and merit.

With this in mind, I believe other individuals should contribute to T.Rex Arms, to help extend its influence and impact, providing a platform for political, cultural, professional, sports, and academic learning, helping to make a difference in the field of military science, sports science, and manufacturing science.

I’ll leave you with a piece I find incredibly relevant and thought-provoking – “Extinguishing Enlightenment: The Unseen Dangers of Bill C-21” (https://skillsgaptrainer.com/extinguishing-enlightenment-the-unseen-dangers-of-bill-c-21/). It’s an enlightening read that sheds light on the state of affairs in Canada, and I believe you’ll draw meaningful insights from it. Keep up the fantastic work, and continue to make a difference.”

Sincerely, SGT Team
