A man with short brown hair and a beard is in two different scenes. In the left scene, he is sitting at a desk with a microphone, camera, and laptop, waving with his left hand and holding a knife in his right hand. The background features a red YouTube play button and a warm, indoor setting. In the right scene, he is outdoors in a forest, wearing tactical gear with a knife in his right hand, and behind him is a tent with a campfire and trees.
