Five years ago, it started with a single upload. Today, our video series enters a new chapter. Introducing Access Granted, a rebrand of our documentary series, focused on opening doors and bringing viewers inside some of the most fascinating places in the world. Excited for what’s ahead. #AccessGranted 🔓

I’m taking you inside a private military testing island in the UAE. @_edgegroup

Newest episode of Access Granted is out, and I had the chance to visit a private military island in the Middle East. 100km outside of Abu Dhabi, this place is used for advanced weapons and drone testing. First time it’s ever been shown on camera. Officially live on my channel! @_edgegroup

This is the @USArmy's brand new helicopter. The Bravo variant of the UH-72 Lakota.

On the latest episode of Access Granted, I'm taking you flying inside the @USArmy UH-72 Lakota. This helicopter is an absolute beast and I had a blast putting it to the test. Full video live on my channel!

Drone swarms are here. This technology could stop them.

The threat of drone swarms presents one of the biggest challenges to the modern battlefield. And the million dollar question (likely billion) is… how do you stop them? Well if you ask @epirus, they think they’ve found the solution. On the latest episode of Access Granted, we’re diving into the technology being developed to counter the threat of swarms and most importantly, we’re putting it to the test. 🎬 Full video out now. Link below.

Greetings from the Top of the World! ❄️ Filming one of the craziest projects yet, at Operation Ice Camp on the frozen Arctic Ocean. Temps dipping below -30, nuclear submarines practicing surfacing through the ice, I can't wait to share this one when it's ready.

Our latest episode of Access Granted just went live, and it’s a special one. We’re going inside Norwich University to experience what life is like at America’s oldest private military college. Located in the Green Mountains of Vermont, Norwich has been developing leaders since 1819. It’s a small school, but with big opportunities, and a history and tradition that runs deep. Norwich is often called “America’s best kept secret,” but I think it’s time we share that secret with the world. 🎬 Video link down below!

Still not over this collaboration with the @royalairforceuk. 🇬🇧 It’s not easy assembling all the approvals and coordination needed to pull something like this off, and I owe a lot of thanks to the RAF for trusting our vision. Just so proud of the entire team and everyone who made this possible.
