      Hey I will still watch you and leave a like. I understand why you have done and are doing the change. However, one thing. My wife suggested that you should do a campsite, and stove top Cook Book. Volumes 1 and 2. Corpal Eats and favorite Treats. Lol something catchy. Plus. Thanks for putting out the videos, I have learned a lot by watching them. I truly hope things go back to the way they were for you before Jan 6.

      I don't have an issue with welding as it is a skill I would like to try not for a job but for things I can and need to do around house. As far as your leaving PF I could care less. I watch the videos to be exposed to things I may not have considered. Now I would like to see you do some desert survival videos as that is all I have is a high desert and mountain environment.
      When you go mobile hopefully we will see you out here in Far West Texas and Southern New Mexico.

      All of your explanations sound perfectly logical to me. Good point in turning that question around to the whomever the inquirer would be about reaching plateaus. All still interesting.and instructive.

      I'm glad you made the change. You have to be able to change and adapt. I'd love to see you hit up some of the old techniques. I LOVED the roman concrete tests you did. That drew me to your channel. :)

  • @allenelam6135
    @allenelam6135 17 днів тому +15

    You are correct. You don't owe anyone an explanation for what you do.
    Personally, I think your answer was done in about the best way it could have been.
    I am hoping that with some of the near future changes. Your build videos would start being viewed more. But I understand why you"re making the changes in content.
    I will still be watching to see what your doing.
    I'd love to get into the Survival Mastery but am on a tight fixed income. It's not feasible for me to without dropping my support of the 4 channels I subscribe to now.
    I have supported them for years and am not going to change that.

    14:25 I said the exact same thing in 2002 when the company I was working for decided to lay me off two weeks before Christmas. Two weeks later on Christmas Eve, my company was officially registered with the state of Iowa. I hired my first full time employee six months later, and then several more over the years. Now, going on 23 years later, I am easing into retirement knowing that I did my best, provided for several families, and have no regrets. The bottom line is that you do you. There will always be naysayers, but they will never have a fulfilling life.

    None of my or anyone else’s business on what you do or why you do it! Just my opinion, but you being honest with us and keeping us updated with the plan, Shit that should put you at the top of everyone’s list.
    I’ll follow you, wherever this ride is headed!

    You are absolutely correct about working for others vs doing your own thing. You owe no one any explanation. I understand your courtesy and appreciate it. I’m getting ready to pull the trigger on early retirement because I feel there is more for me than what I have experienced over the last 30+ yrs. You keep on keeping on. Dispersed camping is a very real thing. It’s seen often with expensive rigs. Mine is home made but comfortable and meets my physical needs. I feel like your future is so bright you have wear shades.

    I follow you for the simple reason that I know what Semper Fi means. I started because of your land nav video, during Field Medical Services School, land nav was 30 minutes of classroom and 4 hours of getting lost at night on MCB Camp Pendleton. I learned more from you. Thanks for your hard work Devil Dog.

    Thanks for the free how to vids. Some of this stuff looks so easy but when you go outside and try you find that it takes more than just watching. It is a lot of work and practice at least for me anyway.

You're my absolute favorite bushcrafter and I will continue to support your channel the best that I can.
    Merry Christmas to you and your family!

As you said, "It's YOUR Channel" and we, or at least I, don't know any of the behind the scenes happenings just as you have no idea of what's going on in our lives. Great to see you are growing and slowing finding more ways to inform and instruct us. God Bless you and yours and continue to do what you do!!

I've also bought your personally used items as well. More than that, your videos have refreshed and tremendously advanced my skills. You are truly a can do guy, and a leader.

I do hope that you will sprinkle some skills in along the way. I am partially disabled, so car camping is my best option for outdoor fun. I look forward to seeing what you create in the future. Thankfully, UA-cam always puts your videos right up front every Sunday in my feed. What it did to you (and others) is criminal. I, for one, am glad you're no quitter.

What I've learned in my 57 years of life is that successful people will always cheer on your efforts to try and succeed. Negative people will always find something to complain about. Life is short, love what you do and focus on. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I'm looking forward to a fantastic 2025!

    You take this very seriously, which is both necessary to meet your particular goals and sets a great example for others. Stay hard.

    Thanks Corporal. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Some overlanding adventures sounds like a great idea.

    I’ve watched religiously for many years now. It wasn’t till you said Jan 6 that I realized you were right. I’m looking forward to this new chapter, but I will faithfully watch anything you put out. Just glad I got the Corporal knife before you bounced out of pathfinder! Still my favorite knife.
