Real Ideal Gear & Paul Whaley – Livestream #3 Notification

Hello there valued readers of Primer Peak! I’ll be joining Mr. Tim Johnson of Real Ideal Gear for a podcast today, May 13th. It’ll be starting at 6PM MST, and will run for about an hour and a half. If you can’t make it, it’ll be uploaded as a video once the livestream ends.

>>>A LINK TO THE PODCAST CAN BE FOUND HERE<<<

We’ll be beginning the show with covering viewer submitted photos, and EDC shots. If you’d like to send in photos for the show, email Tim at: realidealgear@gmail.com

The self-modified sights on my 442.

Once we clear through that section, we’ll be moving into two separate topics. We’ll be covering modification of watches, and then a discussion of modifying gear to suit our specific needs. I’ve modified a lot of my gear over the years, like the Casio DW-5600, and my (pictured above) Smith 442.

Who is Tim Johnson?

Tim started doing YouTube back in early 2023, and has had a ton of channel growth during that period. While most of his channel content is based around watches, he’s got a lot of experience with outdoor gear, EDC gear, and firearms. I found Tim via a video he did on “Law Enforcement Style Watches”, which got me thinking a little differently about watches.

Tim has a background in education, law enforcement, and general outdoorsman activities, so he’s got experience with a lot of the gear that he discusses. In the watch media world, there’s often a disconnect between actual use and just recording footage, so it’s refreshing to see folks like Tim out there.

If you decide to pop into the livestream, thank you! Viewer interaction is the backbone to any good livestream, so we’re happy to see it.

Nearly everything that I do on Primer Peak is paid for out of my own pocket, and my content is not shilled or driven by manufacturers or companies.
