PART 2 of 2
Imbued with seemingly magical capabilities from the 2003 movie “The Hunted,” the Tom Brown Tracker T1 has gain stunning popularity. Starring Tommy Lee Jones as good guy LT and Benicio Del Toro as the out-of-control killer Aaron, the movie showed several laughable sequences involving the Tracker knife. No doubt, the TBT was chosen for its unusual visual appeal and to half-heartedly separate The Hunted from its plot source, the much better Rambo: First Blood movie. That show had already used a more impressive (and effective) Gil Hibben bowie knife in similar fashion. But from The Hunted movie we are led to believe that Tom Brown Tracker is the preferred blade, over all others, by an elite and secret group of combat soldiers. We see it thrown with amazing speed basically blowing a hole through the receiving tree. We see it hacking a part government assassins with ease. We see it being carried in a ridiculous horizontal fashion by Aaron. We see being forged out of raw steel into the perfect killing blade. And thats what Tom Brown, a technical advisor to the movie, would have us believe: that the Tracker knife is the swiftest, most deadly blade out there. If this wasnt the case, why then would these elite and superbly skilled operatives choose it and actually manufacture it! Never mind they could have BOUGHT much better blades or simply armed themselves with a much more capable handgun to dispatch each other. Nope, the movie avoids such logic and marches on with absurdity born of foolish technical advisement and remains detached from reality in most of its sequences. In this two part series, Nutnfancy debunks the mystique and nonsense surrounding the overpriced, over-hyped, and overly heavy Tom Brown Tracker T1 knife. From its diminutive 6 ¼ thick blade, to its astounding 28 ounce weight, to its goofy, limited application grind, the Tom Brown Tracker will stack up poorly against other blades possessing better survival capability and combat efficiency. Its reputation is a house of cards. Admittedly the Tracker is a visually engaging knife with a good handle and probably good chopping capability but it cant escape its limitations (and apparently being overpriced as well). As a purely collectible knife, the Tracker is worthwhile. But as a fully capable wilderness or combat blade, the Tom Brown Tracker is very much sub par compared to many other far more capable designs. Surely some knife users that have bit off on the hype of the TBT (and bought it) will take offense to this truthful review but Nutnfancy will always cut through the crap for you the potential buyers wanting maximize money and capabilities.

CLARIFICATION: At about 11:25 I talk about the TBTs poor chopping/hacking capabilities. I think it will CHOP well WITHIN its straight run of 3.5 of straight edge. Outside of that I think it will diminish in capability. My criticisms of this capability surround heavy duty chopping or hacking of something like a large standing, dead tree. I feel a larger survival blade with a bigger moment arm and swing would be superior.

Imbued with seemingly magical capabilities from the 2003 movie “The Hunted,” the Tom Brown Tracker T1 has gain stunning popularity and has sucked in a lot of users.

Admittedly the Tracker is a visually engaging knife with a good handle and probably excellent chopping capability but it cant escape its limitations (and apparently being overpriced as well). I have used blades long enough in the wilderness to know the 6 blade will have limitations. As a purely collectible knife, the Tracker is worthwhile. But as a fully capable wilderness or combat blade, the Tom Brown Tracker is very much sub par compared to many other far more capable and affordable designs. Surely some knife users that have bit off on the hype of the TBT (and bought it) will take offense to this truthful review and will post their undying loyalty to this ridiculous blade and try to flame me in the process (just watch the comments!). But Nutnfancy will always cut through the crap for you, the potential buyers wanting to maximize money and capabilities.

My main goal is to lose weight…but I hate every time I start running and eating very healthy that my muscle mass goes down…so this time I’m trying something different…. My main goal is to lose weight but I also wanna build a little muscle at the same time..I know how hard that is to do so nobody lecture me about it bc I already know…but my main question is this….if i add protein shakes to my diet will it stop my weight loss goals??? I lift weights 4 days a week and run 6 days a week…taking sundays completely off to relax…and my diet looks like this(I eat 5 times a day):
Breakfast:pack of quaker oatmeal, egg white omlet(turkey and slice of fat free cheese in 4 cooked egg whites)
lunch: 1 grilled chicken breast or turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread, green beans, apple
Post workout: 2 scoops whey in water, banana
dinner: 1 chicken breast, mixed veggies, brown rice or sweet potato
before bed: 2 scoops casein protein.
with this diet, workout plan and addition of protein shakes will i still be able to lose weight? and will it show so on the scale?
Go for Whey Protein… it’s relatively high in protein and practically has no fats or carbohydrates.
Whey protein shakes are the best for gaining muscle fast and not adding any fat whatsoever..

I show you how I make a healthy brown rice and beans. I add chicken but, this could easily be vegetarian if you leave out the chicken. I have a rice cooker that makes GABA brown rice. GABA is produced in brown rice when it is germinated by cooking at 104 degrees for 2-8 hours.
Here is a website that tells alot more about GABA:

Warm sultry wisps of steam floating through millions of kitchens around the world. Carrying along a comforting earthy fragrance inside the thousands of minute water droplets, stirring up cozy nurturing sensations in the hearts and bellies of over half of this planet’s peoples.
From Myanmar to Uruguay, land is covered with a fertile bright green, like a new born caterpillar’s skin- covering miles and miles and miles of farmland with rice fields. The final rice grain is a small and humble child of mother nature with an enormous power to fuel our bodies.
A pot of cooking rice is second to none in its mothering, nurturing personality – cooing gently, bubbling up steam, smelling like comfort. Loads of studies from scientists all over the place show that eating brown rice helps: -lowering cholesterol, – weight loss, – fights heart disease – lower risk for diabetes – improve bone health – fight against cancer
The journey of this seductive grain begins in the paddies – water filled wombs of the earth. With plenty of sunlight and water, the rice grain grows into a beautiful sturdy stalk.
Harvested by the hands of experienced farmers, the grains are make their way to the mill. Still encased in their outside thick jackets of husk, they visit the sheller machines to shed their inedible outer layers to reveal their essence as brown rice. Carbohydrate energy and vitamins __ all woven together, bound by golden threads of belly healthy fiber create their rich brown skin. These little rice grains could now stay in their original tanned skin and get sold to you as wholesome healthy beautiful brown rice.
oR their fate could be to have this rich brown outer layer ripped of their skin to become white, polished rice. A tiny high pressure chamber crowds around the brown grains forcing them to rub their skins against each other so abrasively that thei brown coat shreds away, along with all its vitamins and nutrients. 67% of vitamin B3, 80% of vitamin B1, 90% of vitamin B6, half of manganese, half of phosphorus, 60% of iron and 100% of dietary fiber and essential fatty acids are destroyed along with the brown. All thats now left of this noble food is a stripped down, nutrient deficient, high glycemic little white grain.By law in the United States, fully milled and polished white rice must be “enriched” with vitamins B1, B3, and iron. But the form of these nutrients when added back into the processed rice is not the same as in the original unprocessed version, and at least 11 lost nutrients are not replaced in any form even with rice “enrichment.”
Without a trace of discrimination based on the color of the skin alone – doctors, nutritionists and wellness experts around the the world confidently sing the praises of brown rice over white. Brown rice, they say, is far more supportive of a healthy body: obesity, diabetes and other afflictions caused by too much sugars in the body are all exasperated with the consumption of white rice.
Yes, i can hear you think: BUT! White rice TASTES better! Well, that illusion may haunt your taste buds for the first few times you sit down to eat a meal with the brown. Soon you will want to explore and conquer the taste and flavor of this whole grain rice.
Be bold and ask for brown next time you eating out – adventure into a new heightened state of mental physical spiritual living that come with conscious healthy eating — fuel your dreams, goals, and plans with nature’s small but powerful stores of energy. When it comes to rice, go brown not white!
