… looking for something to mop up. Making videos and deleting comments all day surely can’t make that much of a mess.

Somebody's getting fired ! If he doesn't walk out. It's rare to read a comment with that much depressed realization in it.
So it went from " it's gonna be any day now! Turning the corner and future looks BRIGHT! " to maybe someday but probably never we might get some of those people made good..but it isn't looking promising.
Great job by Guy for being a huge coward and letting the new stooge break the news.

.....so you are saying he is actually an "Investor" or "New Business Partner" ?
He replied to a follow-up comment. These come from one of his recent shorts.
HST:
"Dude things are complicated life doesn't work out the way we want it to sometimes it's either we save the business while shipping pre-orders or we go under and nobody gets their knives man. It's very simple. I am here 7 days a week working hard and every single week we ship old pre-orders that people get to have and finally feel whole I'm not having this discussion with you man I have work to do ask a guy if you want more specific answers I just work here and help out trying to get us leveled out. Have a good day"

If someone could indulge me, and without too much hyperbole if possible, how did this company even become popular enough to have such rabid apologists and fanboys? Granted, I'm not part of the "bushcrafting" crowd, but I'd never even heard of this company until this thread and others like it started popping up about how they weren't delivering on their prepaid knives. Was it a Kickstarter that became "viral" and quickly exceeded their output capabilities? Some Theranos style investment scheme?
It all just seems so odd to me. If a company came along, made a bunch of promises from the start, then failed, I wouldn't expect them to have any fanboys or apologists. How/why did they get such a following from the start that they haven't been completely abandoned by everybody? The Ponzi style business practices clearly are what's keeping Survive from completely going tits up, so I don't need that explained to me. I just don't get the how/why they got their start in the first place.

I just saw the comments from Jon HeavySetTactical409. He does not sound happy and is not giving straight answers regarding his ownership in S!K. I predict his tenure there will be short, similar to Tyler.

It took me a few tries to find it. go to YT account for HeavySetTactical409, look for "shorts" video title - BM Knife and Tool Field Spec in Magnacut - It Just Works! Look at the comments for that video.Out of curiosity, can you point to where these comments are located? Are they on S!K YouTube video or HST's videos? I don't see much new on S!K YouTube. I have my popcorn and need something to do.
there might be more somewhere else. Please post here if you find anything else.
