No, I watched it, I just wondered what the point of posting it was. Love or hate him, James is definitely a larger than life personality. He has had some good trainers working with him, including the late Paul Gomez. I think this video was one of the ones he made as a reality tv show bio.
I never understood why preppers tell the world they have a huge stockpile of this and that. If someone wants your shit bad enough they will take it. I don’t know James so I cant comment on him.
Seems like a knowledgeable guy when it comes to killing, but their is no doubt this guy would be chewed up and spit back out through the farm. His attitude is awful.
Tells children to keep a secret from friends or risk shooting them in the face,
goes on YouTube to tell the world.
I like a confident teacher, and all teachers must by nature have some element of narcissism, but teaching is for others and I don’t know how well Yeager can instruct a class when he’s apparently so self-absorbed.
I fully believe that he IS the most controversial instructor out there because, by contrast, most of the other high end instructors seem very approachable and down to earth.
Yeah….no, “Ive never lost a fight?” Really, you seem ro have forgotten Rte Irish. Surviving, and winning a fight are differant things ergo letting others die to save your skin. “Dont tell your friends about all the stockpile I put up on youtube” *roll eyes* and apparently a cheek to stock weld and aiming is to much trouble on his Barret… WORST instructor ever more like.
Did’nt even cross my mind but I think that is probably it because that was insanely ridiculous even for Yeager but reality tv eats shit like that and asks for more.
Haha, so it’s a lifestyle blah blah blah. A couple years ago he was fat as fuck haha, where was his lifestyle then? I can handle guys like him because they embarrass themselves, no one has to do it for them. His demeanor was totally unproffessional, if I was looking for a hired gun I wouldn’t hire him. And as far as his end of the world prep scenario, completely attrition based, which fat lazy people usually prescribe to. A manuever plan makes more sense. If he was so committed to the lifestyle were is his tabs his EGA or trident? Paint baller who wondered into a gun store, then got hired by a back woods l.e. agency, lied on his resume when pmcs would hire anyone with a boy scout merit badge, got shot at once or twice and is now the baddest mfer alive. God I love the Internet, before it came along entertainment like this u had to pay for.
Jaeger is actually a very down to earth humble guy this video is more over the top than he truly is. Watch some of his youtube videos, he would definitely be someone I would like to shoot/train with and later enjoy a beer or two with!
all that tough talk and skater beard isn’t going to bring back his dead teammates. The fool left his parking brake on and ran around like a chicken with his head cut off. “Train with the worst….guranteed to die first.”
My personal opinion is that this gives our entire industry a horrible exposure to the general public on so many levels… the industry side, the training side and from an overall quick snap of what we all do to make our lives safer and the lives of our loved ones safer. Whether we serve, have served or work in any compactly to contribute in a constructive manner – this affects you! Our public face should promote positive ideas and this does the exact opposite.
I don’t know this guy; I really don’t want too. People have to realize that our industry is much bigger than a loud mouth that can’t complete an educated sentence without cursing.
I was rolling in Baghdad on the 20th of April 05, I knew Chris “Camel” Ahmelman back in the day and I would dearly like to hope that James is parting some form of knowledge to offset that fact that he let three of his comrades down in battle on that day. If I had failed so greatly I would be devoting the rest of my life to doing some good.
Oh Snap! Now I have watched and seen it ALL. The BEST instructor in the world? He was a cop, can barely speak English and was a VERY VERY too much horrbile no good bad PSD! WTF Dudes! It frickin’ Gunny Boo Boo meets Band Camp!!
The James “Runaway” Yeager video clearly shows him as a failure and a fraud. All this talk in front of the camera about his extensive training and how bad ass he is, when his moment came to him he showed the whole world (on video) how much he sux. Fail on top of fail
Have to love Buck.
That is 2 minutes and 22 seconds of my life I can’t get back! WTF!
I’ve trained with James. What’s the point of the post?
Apparently, you didn’t watch the video. I’ve known Yaeger for many years and he is one wild guy. This video definitely makes an unabashed statement.
No, I watched it, I just wondered what the point of posting it was. Love or hate him, James is definitely a larger than life personality. He has had some good trainers working with him, including the late Paul Gomez. I think this video was one of the ones he made as a reality tv show bio.
he should have invested some cash into a college fund for his kids instead of this nonsense…
That’s a far more important responsibility towards his family.
Allegedly this is a Yeager video that says it all about his commitment to safety: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=sAdemRhuHDg

EXACTLY! THANK YOU!
KEEP YOUR POWDER DRY, AND HIDDEN!
I would love to see an instructor like Pat McNamara or Jason Falla school this loser in a fight, a PFT, or a fucking spelling bee.
FTW!
Correction Brando… FTMFW!!!

“Killing”
Are you nuts?
He is nothing more than a TINY small town cop, who by being an arrogant asshole on the Internet has somehow become infamous.
He has never killed anyone.
Put that hairy chested wimp slapper on top shot he’s not getting enough attention
There*
I apologize, meant to put that on my comment.
He’s tried out for Top Shot 3 times and never made it on the show. Too much baggage with that guy

Yeah, I saw that and had to roll my eyes a bit.
ERSM vs. Rte Irish? Remember the fallen that James Yeager failed.
Word. this is all that needs to be said about Yeager.
I happen to believe the narcissism is nothing more than a strategic move for publicity. Guess what,, its working like a charm.
This is just an example of Yeager being Yeager.
Exactly
Ahhh, another instructor that is the best in the world. Hmmm, Never heard of him.
Have a good one,
Connor
I can think of at least 10 instructors I would train with before this guy.
I could think of 1,000. I hear Stevie Wonder got his NRA Basic Pistol certs the other day. I’m gonna hit him up first.
Post the dates please!
Ha! I see what you did there.
Yeah….no, “Ive never lost a fight?” Really, you seem ro have forgotten Rte Irish.

Looks like someone is pitching one of those horrid reality TV shows on TLC. He should fit in with Honey Boo Boo and Swamp People nicely.

The more they talk the worse they suck the harder they fall…….

Does he do a course in tactical ditch hiding?
Truth
all I can say is MERICA! I burst out laughing with the “do you want me to shoot your friends in the face?”
I’m sure this dude used to be on WWF.

Never lost a gunfight? I have a video to show him. What a tool.

I understand this is his personality, but he took it a little too far and stepped on his dick in my opinion.

guys a total douche, never been aware or done anything. Wannabees only apply
Psssh. This fella Yeager has obviously never heard of Ho Tac Tactical.
