Adrian Jessen started the Review This Thing YouTube channel in 2020 after deciding that she felt like YouTube needed better reviews: reviews that would be complete - answering all possible questions, honest - sharing real-life experiences, and unbiased - not blowing smoke because of compensation or sponsorship. Her husband Robbie, an avid hunter and outdoorsman, joined in on the YouTube fun a year later and also started their website: www.reviewthisthingtv.com where you can read fun articles, more reviews, and see the latest deals. As lovers of the outdoors, they review firearms, ammunition, hunting gear, and general outdoor gear. In addition to a passion for most things outdoors, Adrian’s heart is that she can help people feel confident and comfortable about their purchasing decisions without having to waste time or money. You can also find them on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.
If you like hunting as much as I do, there’s one piece of good news you can usually hang your hat on. When you’re “between seasons” for the big game or waterfowl you like to chase, that doesn’t mean you’re all out of hunting options. Many states have year-round seasons for feral hogs and predators such as coyotes. Even more exciting, several states allow hunting these nuisance critters 24 hours a day using digital night vision and thermal optics. I will give you a warning here. Every state has its own regulations regarding the legal use of thermal optics. Some…
PSA Dagger 9mm Handgun A couple of years ago, I started a journey trying to find “the perfect 9mm handgun.” I even roped in a few friends to join in on the testing. We tried out several 9mm handguns of varying sizes and brands and then collected quite a bit of subjective thoughts on each one. After all that testing, shooting, and interviewing, we came up with a definitive answer on which one was the best. That answer – it depends. There are a number of factors someone should consider when deciding on a purchase. These include the size of…
INTRO/METHOD A couple of years ago, my husband and I became pretty interested in the world of ARs. In case you didn’t know, AR is an abbreviation for Armalite Rifle, which is the company that developed this specific style of semi-automatic rifles for civilian use back in the 1950’s. These rifles initially drew our attention because they are so lightweight and easy to shoot (and they’re pretty fun, too). The AR is also quite versatile. I know a number of people who use an AR-10 or AR-15 for hunting, especially for game animals like feral hogs where having the ability…
The Vortex Fury HD 5000 AB Review Process INTRO/METHOD Two years ago, my husband and I started the adventure of planning a rifle elk hunt in the great state of Montana. In case you’ve never gone on a trip of this nature, it takes a great deal of planning and preparation. We had to figure out preference points, units, and when to apply. We also wanted to make sure we had all the gear we would need and that our gear choices would be, well…perfect. I got a new pack and new boots. Robbie picked up some new game bags and…
