Our February GAB is with our industry friend Chip Lasky (@claskytac). There is a lot to say about this guy – He is well known in the industry and back into his operating days and like he says “I used to do cool shit”
-
What is your happy place?
-
What do you avoid at all costs?
- Arguing with my wife. I never win.
-
What is the trait you most dislike in yourself?
- I am long-winded when talking. My whole family is like that. It drives me nuts.
-
What is the trait you most dislike in others?
- Lazy/entitled/weak-minded attitudes.
-
Which living person do you most admire?
- You wouldn’t know them.
-
What is your most extravagant purchase to-date?
- My truck. I wouldn’t call it extravagant. But it was a lot of money for me.
-
What was your state of mind as you walked into this bar?
- “I hope they have a good bourbon selection”
-
On what occasion do you lie (we know you NEVER do)?
- If I know the truth is going to really hurt someone I care about. And even then, I haven’t often done it.
-
What one thing would you change about your appearance?
- I’d get my nose fixed. It’s been broken 5 times. Everyone says it’s part of my character. But I’m pretty self-conscious of it.
-
Which living person would you put on a dinghy and push out to sea?
- I only get to choose one? Can I use a barge and just put the entirety of the Democrat Party on it?
-
What is the #1 quality men should possess?
- Strength: in mind, body, and spirit
-
What is the #1 quality women should possess?
- Strength: in mind, body, and spirit
-
Which words or phrases do you say waaaay too much?
- I tend to end explanations by saying “soooo… yeah.” I don’t know why. I think I got it from my mom.
-
What can’t you live without?
- Air and water. Anyone who says different is lying.
-
What is your most treasured, non-essential item?
- My dog’s ashes. She passed away a little over a year ago. Miss her every day.
-
Which super-hero talent would you most like to have?
- I’m not sure this would be a super-hero talent. But I would want the ability to teleport anywhere and to any time in history so I could witness history with my own eyes without anyone knowing I was there. I’d love to see ancient world and be present at historically significant events – partly because I am fascinated with history… and partly because I want to see if historians got it right.
-
If you could change one thing about yourself before the end of the day, what would it be?
-
What do you consider your greatest achievement?
- Serving in a special operations unit with some of the greatest men I’ve ever known.
-
If you were to die and come back as an animal, which would it be?
- Holy shit: I was literally just thinking about this the other day. Don’t ask why. I’d have to say a Toy Poodle. I spoiled the hell out of mine.
-
Where would you most like to live in retirement?
- Florida. It’s where us Jews go to retire. Plus they have great gun laws.
-
What is the most essential piece of Gear for your passion?
- Swedish-Made Penis Enlarging Pump.
-
What do you procrastinate most?
-
What would people say is your most prominent visual characteristic?
- My nose. I thought we covered this already…
-
What is your dream job (if you aren’t already doing it)?
- I’m actually pretty happy where I’m at. But I did just see an Instagram video of some dude who uses those muscle massagers on hot chicks in their underwear. That looked pretty cool.
-
What type of vehicle would you invent and what would you call it? If it already exists, name it.
- I just want one of those flying cars the Sci-Fi industry has been promising.
-
If you had to wear Multicam Alpine or Multicam Tropic head-to-toe the rest of your life, which would it be?
- That’s a tough one. I live in the north, so Alpine would be effective camo for at least half the year. Plus, it could make for a badass-looking suit. But Tropic is probably more practical for the majority of times. Fuck it: Alpine.
-
What is your favorite form of physical exercise?
-
If you were left alone in the Rockies for a week, what 2 items would you pack for defense?
- Lightsaber and the BFG from Doom.
-
What is your motto?
- “How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.”
-
Everyday carry of choice?
-
What’s filling your OTTE Gear Packing Cube?
- Training tools for teaching classes and sex toys.
-
If money not an option, gun of choice?
-
Favorite OTTE piece and why?
- Patrol Parka. It’s a great shell garment that I wear with various layers underneath. Plus mine is Multicam Black. It’s almost too sexy.
-
Patrol guy or Alpine guy?
- Definitely Patrol. Fighting in the cold sucks.
