Never would've guessed Gun Jesus would guest on this channel, he gets around.

Excited to see Dr. Crawford on Forgotten Weapons to talk about an old bolt action viking sword they found in a river in Iceland.

I literally just stared at this thumbnail in awe for a minute before clicking

[robertcaseydavis]

The crossover I could have never even hoped for.

[johnscott]

This is blowing my mind. These are my two favorite youtube personalities in one video. It would be awesome to see Jackson Crawford in a Forgotten Weapons video.

When two of your random interests like when two of your dear friends from different groups meet ....your old college mates meeting your work friends and you don't know which version of yourself to be!
I follow both of these guys.

I came here for Icelantic! I didn't know I would see Ian

[darraghchapman]

A really weird but wonderful coincidence of youtubers I follow! I have always noticed and appreciated that Ian makes a concerted effort to pronounce foreign words correctly. It's great to see you two together!

Just to perch my personal cherry on top, why not drag Max Miller over to beautiful Colorado/Wyoming for a chat? He really goes above and beyond, despite never prescribing himself as a linguist or polyglot or cetera.

Dr. Jackson Crawford AND Gun Jesus in the same video?!?! What an awesome time in which I live!

[GinSoakedBoy]

Don't you just love it when two of your fave, seemingly unrelated, channels do a collab.

[Paveway-chan]

Ian: "So, how do you say muzzle break or recoil mechanism in Old Norse?"

Jackson: "Colorado-confusion"

[simaocranmer]

As a foreigner who lived in Iceland for 1 and a half years, I can say this is very accurate and helpful for those starting out. Would've loved to find this video 1, 5 years ago!

[Schlabbeflicker]

The crossover we never knew we needed, but the one we deserve

[ryanxvx]

I was going to make a joke about that guy looking exactly like Ian from Forgotten Weapons...

[SvendleBerries]

Its like a random encounter event in a game, Ian just appears in the middle of nowhere for seemingly no reason lol

[KaitenKenbu]

What in the world am I watching. My worlds are colliding!! What a time to be alive.

[jacksteelo]

I am an English and mythology teacher. Who would have thought that my arms hobby would have been how I stumbled upon your awesome channel?! Subscribed.

[johanpeturdam]

Well, if I may add an "actually": kk as hkk (pre-aspiration) is not just in Icelandic, Faroese, and Scottish Gaelic in this neck of the woods. It's also found in a few if not all Sami languages. I know that Pite Sami and Skolt Sami at the very least have it.

[waaghals]

This is the crossover that I did not realize I wanted. I suspect the algorithm has fully figured me out.

[DoormanDan]

Love me some Ian and Forgotten Weapons! Never thought I’d see you two together on YouTube. The internet sure can be a great place.
