August Game Destinations

My first trip to NCIS Airsoft in Edinburgh was superb. Great site with some challenging terrain and a great bunch of guys. Very highly recommended if you are looking into attending NCIS. I also returned to Land Warrior but unfortunately the vehicles were not being used this time. Had a great day worth of games and really enjoyed talking to the players and marshals but i'm dying to film the two APCs they now have. So what am i to do? I'll be returning to Land Warrior again!!

August looks like being a good month too. I'll be at NOMAD on the 7th August and then heading up North the following weekend to play at Highland Tactical on the Black Isle, just down the road from Tain at an old bombing range airfield. Still with control tower and everything intact. Can't wait!! There will be other site visits too so stay tuned for updates.

NCIS, Land Warrior and Knights!!

July is promising to be a good month for videos with trips planned to NCIS and Land Warrior airsoft sites over in the Edinburgh area. I've already played at LWA and know what a great site they have with a great bunch of players and now a fleet of vehicles comprising 2 APCs and 2 Land Rovers. Can't wait to play and film there again!!

NCIS is a site i've never been to but have heard lots of great things about it. Time to give it a go and time for the Airsoft Grenadier to go on tour ;)

I'm also planning a trip to a Medieval jousting tournament this month so i'm hoping to capture some good footage from that.

 

Watch this space for more upcoming venues and videos.

Baby Frog

Well i'm home again, had a great time staying away from home and enjoying the peace and quiet of a small Highland village next to a tranquil loch. Lots of good food, drink, sightseeing and relaxing. Just what the doctor ordered!!

I've decided to add extra content to my YouTube channel to give my viewers a bit more diversity rather than pure airsoft; Vlogs, funnies, interesting places etc. Airsoft will remain the main stay of the channel but i don't want my channel to simply be 'another airsoft channel'. I'd like a bit more depth of content to give a broader selection of choice and hopefully keep current subscribers interested and entertained but also attract a wide range of new subscribers. I posted up a quick video of my son Calum that was recorded on holiday basically as an experiment to guage reaction to this type of material. So far it has been very positive. Check it out and have a read of the description below the video as it plays.

Skirmish Clothing

Things are really looking up for Sam at Skirmish Clothing. Ever since he offered me sponsorship i've put him in touch with Epic Militaria and Land Warrior Airsoft, both of whom now stock his clothing. Recently i've also put him in touch with Irelands main Airsoft retailer and, excitingly, the U.S's biggest Airsoft retailer. Talks are underway with both these businesses so watch out for more news on this. Skirmish Clothing could be breaking into the U.S market and maybe one day going global. If this isn't a case study of why working with 'The Airsoft Grenadier' is beneficial then i don't know what is!!

Holiday time

At the end of this week i'll be on holiday and boy do i need a break! My wife and i are taking our 1 year old son Calum on holiday for a week staying in a luxury lodge at Lochgoilhead on the West Coast of Scotland. The site has swimming pool, restaurant, bar and amazing scenery so i'll spend my week relaxing. Outside of airsoft i'm currently a driving instructor although if YouTube pays off i'll be more than happy to retire early. I have been invited to join a competition called "YouTube NextUp" which is for aspiring YouTube Partners with less than 50,000 subscribers who want to take their channel to the next level. There is a 20,000 Euro cash prize, all expenses paid 3 day film-makers camp in London and lots of promotion from YouTube. I'd be daft not to enter!! All i need to do is make a video entry saying why i want to take part and send them a written letter stating what i would spend the money on.

With 20,000 Euros i could buy a fantastic camera, top notch computer and software, turn my small office into a studio and travel around the U.K filming videos at sites throughout Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland. I think the wife would also appreciate a nice warm holiday so who knows; airsoft in Greece or Crete would be good fun eh!? It would be a dream come true scenario for me and fantastic viewing for my subscribers. The competition is for European Partners only so that means i must have something like a 1 in 10,000 chance of winning worst case odds but i think there will be far less European Partners than that. Certainly better odds than the lottery.

Fingers crossed!!!
