#DuganAshley

Welcome to TFB’s Podcast Roundup 5. This week we’re getting a chance to hear from somewhat of a legend within the YouTube gun community: Dugan Ashley. For those of you who don’t know or don’t remember, Dugan Ashley was a pioneer of the “GunTuber” variant along with a few notable others. As far back as 2012, I remember tuning in to Dugan’s channel CarniK Con (Carnivorous Kinetic Concepts) which featured both a heavy dose of satire, humor and legitimate information/review. Sadly, Dugan deleted his channel along with all of his videos but there are still some fans out there dedicating to archiving his videos and keeping them online for others to enjoy. Dugan occasionally likes to drop into podcasts and random YouTube videos. This week I’m sharing a dated episode from 2016 to help fans of Dugan’s get a clearer view of where he went and what he’s been up to since his sudden disappearance.

Dugan Ashley was a genius before his time with concepts like Ameriflage, embracing the Sig P320 before it was cool, and the epic  LMG Special mashup. Youtube didn’t quite know what to do with the guy, his popularity becoming stronger after he ceased to produce videos, CarniK Con has become a bit of a cult favorite.
