A Story of Resilience
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- As I look back on the past year, it's been a rollercoaster of challenges and triumphs, a true testament to the strength we find within ourselves. At the beginning of the year, I set out on a mission to carve a new path, transforming my garage into a personal studio-a haven for inspiration to thrive. The duo with @carsonmcmaster was re established.
"Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."
#dougbishop #nickrinn #chaosdivers
The journey unfolded with a commitment to community, teaming up with friends to acquire skills and equipment. From earning my scuba certification to building my fishing boat and getting a truck camper, each step was a building block towards something greater. Together with @ChaosDivers , I volunteered my skills as a videographer, editor, and valuable team member, working tirelessly on bringing answers to families while strengthening the bonds I had with Jacob, Lindsay, and @depthsofhistory .
This collaborative spirit led to a reconnection with @DougBishop , and together, we showcased the new non-profit @unitedsearchcorps. Our adventures took us to Florida, joining forces with @ReconDiveRecovery and @Sunshinestatesonar in the search for missing persons. Our efforts uncovered a pond with over 30 vehicles, some tied to high-profile crimes.
The journey then took me to Arizona, where I spent a week with @bonerush , contributing to the resolution of cold cases. Working alongside local law enforcement, we recovered and cleared multiple vehicles. Amidst these triumphs, challenges arose as my husky suffered a stroke. My community rallied fundraising the funds to et her the care she needed and allowing me to dedicate the time and effort to Sequoia's rehabilitation. Together we witnessed her regain the use of her legs which was a testament to collective strength.
Focusing on honing my dive skills, I embarked on dives with my scuba mentor @Nicgyver , absorbing invaluable lessons in proper techniques and safety. Continuing my dive education, I offered my videography skills to cave divers Gus, Woody and Mike at @DIVETALK , immersing myself in the world of next level badass divers.
The year concluded with a heartwarming story of survival-partnering with the talented @Devon-Carroll we worked together to recover a truck filled with tools for a devoted mechanic and father. This mission underscored the impact of community support, providing him with the chance at life again.
Yet, the years end posed a significant challenge-a lawsuit from an old friend that threatened my community, family, business, and livelihood. Once again, the strength of my community shone through as in 3 days we raised the funds needed to defend my channel and work.
As I step into 2024, I reflect on the progress made. Each might seem insignificant, but together, they comprise a story of resilience.
Thank you for being an integral part of this incredible journey! I appreciate you more than i can express!

There’s a certain person that didn’t know or appreciate how good he had it with such a great team. It’s crazy for him to try to bring others down with him when they built him up. That’s just not right under any circumstances.
Best of luck this year getting all this BS legal stuff behind you.
May your new year be brighter than last. Congratulations on your new baby. Keep your head high and stay strong and safe.
You're an awesome human being Josh , one hell of an outstanding individual who has high morals , one heck of a wonderful family and tons of supporters , you started out with small steps and those small steps have led to greater things. This small town Canadian fella is extremely proud of what you have done and continue to do ..
Your videos are so spectacular! You have amazing talent. Keep fighting because we love what you do. That other person's UA-cam site only got so many views because of the outstanding quality of the videos which were shot and edited by you and Carson.
Thank you for the support and kind words!
Josh, when someone is at a low point in their life and everything feels overwhelming and scary, there is only one direction they can go, and it's up! With all the support you have….. You've got this!!! I love your storytelling through your videos! You have a beautiful family, and the newest member is a sweetie-pie! ❤️
Thanks for this memorable video, with no words, but it still showed us the story!
Happy 2024!!!
You would think he would just move on and worry about his own “bigger problems”! Yours, Carson, Doug and Nick’s success is what he is jealous of! He didn’t think you guys would be so successful without him. And y’all have proved him wrong. 🎉
Yes ma am Kimberly! Right on!💯
NOBODY can take Jared seriously again and he knows it so he’s lashing out like a cornered rattlesnake 🎉
Y'all keep doing what you're all doing, y'all don't need him, y'all are doing a great job, keep up the great work. God Bless you all😊
Love watching your videos. I have unsubsidized from awp!
Good on you everyone needs to stop supporting the channel all of these guys can do it without him@@debraculbertson3915
We love you and support you 110% Josh! Keep us posted on any merch or other ways to help out!
What a crazy year you have had, and your friends Nick and Carson, and Doug, so now the past and anything negative must go, on to a new year filled with love, hope and success!!
As a consumer of content, you can often become complacent of what actually goes into creating these videos. To look back and reflect that you did ALL THAT in one year is incredible! Most people would take YEARS to knock some of those adventures, projects and bucket list items out. Its absolutely inspiring to watch. You, your family and of course your amazing friends should be so proud, and you absolutely have the right to be proud. Thank you for sharing all the ups and downs with us. Its such a privilege. ❤
P.S. look how much your baby girl has GROWN! 😮
Keep the faith Josh!!!
You’ve given us so many heartwarming stories and fun exciting moments. Nothing but the best ahead!
Thank you for the words of encouragement, I still have so much to be said!
You're inspiring. Thought you should know that.
I appreciate you taking the time to bring positivity here!
@JoshCantu You're welcome. It's true. Looking forward to seeing more of your amazing work.

What a year it's been! Changes, challenges, growth & you got thru it all with grace, kindness & class. It will only get better. Happy New Year kiddo!
The best has yet to come! Stay tuned :)
You and the others, Chaos Divers, Nick, Doug and everyone else have such good character. I love what you all do. Don't let a greedy character like Jared spoil it for you. He lost a good team and he's jealous . I hope and pray you all succeed in this new year.
Ŵhy would Jared be jealous of these fools?😅 ...they haven't brought any loved ones home this past year. Just a bunch of wannabes. 😂😂😂
@@MydNyteRayne @MydNyteRayne Are you proud of supporting a pedo? Shame on you.
This entire comment is laughable. I can't even take it seriously. 😂
@user-nx3qn4lp8uanother name with user . What's with all the negative comments? You must be a bot.
@@terrimansfield6212Jared brought home 2 people in 2023. 2 more families that have answers that did not before. Jared's former team and employees brought home 0. Jared also recovered a lady yesterday along with SSS that's been missing for 38 years.
I'll Dive again with you any time, Brother.👊
Josh what is being done to you is crazy! We support you. I have unsubscribed to awp and recommend others do as well.
I ubsubed when everyone quit. Won't watch his videos
I did the moment I heard what was being done to someone who has done nothing to you other than supply you w good videos.
I've done the same too. I unsubscribed from that channel months ago.
I should have done it when Josh mentioned what was being done to him!! I just unsubscribed and canceled the subscription as well!
same
2023 had some bad times, but you also had some tremendously good times. I hope & pray 2024 brings you prosperity, health and happiness, Josh. May God bless your endeavors and keep you safe. Thanks for bringing us fantastic footage all through the year, Josh!
Much ❤️ from Michigan 🌊
Hard to believe that was only one year. You are becoming the best version of yourself, and I have no doubt that you will keep getting better. Thank you for sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly with us. Much love and prayers for you and your lovely family!
Thank goodness for Resilience Josh. You have the most amazing talent & eye for filming. Never give up. I hope with all my heart that in 2024 you carry on filming everything you love doing and are so passionate about. I support you as an honest genuine creator with a talent that surpasses any other on UA-cam. Love to you & your lovely family.
What a huge compliment!! Thank you so much Patti, I'm grateful to have people like you supporting me!
This is amazing what youve acheived in such a short time. (With a little help from your friends!) Testament to your resilience. You can do anything you set your mind to! Thanks for sharing it all with us :)
Josh, as someone old enough to be your mom ( so it's a mom thing) I first wanna say how PROUD I am of you! 2023 gave you some deep sorrow as well as amazing things to do and experience and through it, A LOT of True friends and people who truly care walked with you, Prayed for you and your family they stood by you when you needed a rest, You are truly an amazing videographer, with the strength and compassion, not everyone has You're like a phoenix rising out of the ashes 2024 is your year Josh and we are all here to support you and your dreams along with your beautiful Wife and your 2 beautiful daughters. God Bless
Beautiful said. I AGREE TOTALLY JOSH. 👍🤍🇨🇦
Stand tall, Josh. You are a remarkably talented young man and you will come out a winner. How fortunate you are in family and friendships. We believe in you❤️
Y'all are such amazing humans
The world needs more good Men like yourselves
You've accomplished so much in so short a time and it's only the beginning
You will persevere!
Much love to you and your family in 2024 💖
Thank you for your kind words. I have so much to fight for!
Awesome days great memories love you all congratulations on the new baby.
Thank you so much, we are so blessed!!
Hold your head up young man you got this. Things are gonna change for the best for you and your family Josh you have Amazing Friends behind you every step of the way.
Thank You for this video .keep on going things will get better soon sending love and prayers your way.
I intend to keep making videos that make me happy! Glad you all enjoy them as well!
That "old fart" y'all walked away from, and for good reason, is just a big narcissist. He can't stand that y'all are being successful without him, and his viewers pulling away.
You guys, including Doug, Britain, Chaos Divers, Nick and Devon were never in it for reward/ money and fame (like he is) and that is the what makes y'all genuine. The love, care, compassion, and all is what sets y'all above and beyond the old fart.
Keep y'all's heads held high and never back down! Keep doing the good work!
Your talent was obvious from the beginning and belongs to no one but you. Best of luck to you and your family that this is all behind you soon.
Thank you for the great compliment to my videography! I work very hard so I appreciate the kind words.
Keep fighting Josh!!
Thank you for the encouragement...keep going, never stop!
Keep fighting Josh! You do great work. No longer a AWP fan!
left awp now following you and nugs and whoever ele left. You have come so far! love your work!
Awesome memories with great friends. Wishing you and your family happiness, blessings upon blessings, and triumph for 2024❤
Thank you for the positivity! I have some exciting stuff up my sleeve for this new year!
What an amazing storyteller amd movie maker you are! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Stay strong!
Much appreciated! Your comment means more than you think.
A year to treasure! Never Surrender!!! ❤ from Canada
You got that right!
This is an absolutely beautiful video!!!❤❤❤ He who shall not be named is unworthy of you, your friendship or your work. We are behind you 100%. ❤
Great video, your "purpose" is survival & the comeback , to witch you are doing surrounded by good hearted people. Stay safe 🤿🙏✌️🐾👍
I loved watching this video, Josh! You’ve been through a lot! But your rewards were many too! Your girls are gorgeous! You helped your dog back to wellness! You should be proud!
I love this Josh. I'm so sorry that idiot is trying to screw with you and your life! I will say this, if anyone is still subscribed to AWP, they need to unsubscribe. What he is doing to this family is uncalled for. Josh is trying to move on with his life and he has! He has done nothing wrong at all! This group of guys here are best friends. They got each others back and will do anything for each other! They have been together after they left AWP and with good reason. Everything they know and have learned was because of their friendships with each other. Great men doing great work and with down to earth good hearts! I am Blessed to have watched their Journey together and they are still going strong. They have a great support system and with our help to, will be even a bigger support system. What do you say fans?? Are you with me?? Lets back Josh up and give him the support he needs to continue on doing the good work with his team! His friends, his brothers💕A big shout out to Jeremy (Exploring with Nug) who mentioned Josh in his video and did what he has done to prove what a good Man Josh is. Thank you! Lets Rally around Josh and keep those Prayers coming because you can never have enough of Prayers🙏 We need to spread the word and support Josh and get more people on board to back him up. Hr just had a new baby and trying to raise his family and it would be so nice for the new year to be the one Josh will come out of without turmoil but with Grace and kindness through all his supporters by sharing his love and kindess he has for you and other people and their families he has helped in the past years and still wants to help in the years to come without conflict. Josh my dear, I love you and the rest of the guys so much! I Pray you will find peace and happiness to continue on with your Journey. Don't ever give up. We all love you and will support your good name. You got this! 💯You got this! STAY TRUE TO YOURSELF🙏❤
thanks for reminding me to unsubscribe - done!
I'm totally with you on this. Have been intending on pressing that Unsubscribe button on AWP for ages... it's felt grubby to even watch their videos now, so I haven't for quite some time.
This was all the push I needed.
Adios Jared.
Josh & Chelsea,
I am so proud to support you.
Thank you for sharing your journey. I’m looking forward to the road ahead.
❤
~Linda
Thank you so much, Linda! For everything, especially bringing positivity to my page!!
Josh, I'm sending you my sincerest blessings for you and your family for this 2024 year. This is your year. Let the haters hate... you keep doing all the good work you do and the community will continue to rally behind you. Sending love to you and the fam.
Thank you Lydia! I appreciate the recognization!!
When God shut that one door, boy did he open others!! Continue to be Blessed and I look forward to the coming year!❤️
I am forever grateful for the opportunities I've been given!
Thank u for all that u have done in the past. I look forward to watching more of ur video's and know u do this because u have a heart of gold!
Thank you for the support!! It means more than can be expressed.
Josh, you are one of the most strong & talented young men that I have had the pleasure of getting to know as I have followed along with you. Congratulations on your precious new bundle of joy! I love seeing you as you grow as a husband and dad, the joy in your face tells the whole story! Stay strong, you have done the right thing and no one will succeed in dragging you down because of it. Keep your family first, hold to your values and keep relationships with the great group of friends you have around you. That will all speak for you! Keep up the good work!
I can't tell you in words how much the support means to my family and I! Thank you for the support!
OH MY, thank you for such a wonderful montage of events last year. So many changes and chances and successes. I have to leave my home of 34 years for health reasons. My friend taught me a new expression: Practice Radical Acceptance. That fits for me. I want less dread and more imagining of the good things I will have and see in my new living situation a couple thousand miles away. I was so happy to see you had a new post!
What a great way to bring positivity to the situation! Thank you for your support in my channel.
To me, you can be a surrogate nephew and family with a lovely wife and 2 beautiful great nieces! All I have left of family are cousins in the midwest so I will be moving to be close to them and my final resting place when it is my turn to join my mom and both brothers in the ancient cemetery along with many relatives from the last several centuries.@@JoshCantu
AND STILL YOU RISE LIKE A PHOENIX!!!
Thank you for bringing nothing but positivity to my page! I appreciate it more than I can express
hope everything's alright, this had a sad vibe. Really looking for yours, and the other boys recovery vids if you are still doing those! Just so you are aware, there are some who try to spread lies about you because you quit awp, don't let those let you down! Would be great if you, Nick and Doug would use your voice to bring awareness that Kiely Rodni case is still open and NCSO should give answers already what happened to Kiely.
Keep fighting Josh.. you have a great heart and soul . Keep up the great job you do . God Bless 🙏🙏🙏 From Illinois
I appreciate that, Rachael! Thank you for your continued support!
Awesome video Josh. U guys keep doing the great work. I heard ur ex-boss had his court hearing nd is handed over for trial. I pray for u guys to out come what u face. Safe travels friend
Good evening Josh. Such a great video going back over the year that was exciting, well worth it and many friends by your side. The new baby at the end just makes your family complete. Thanks for sharing and keep your head up and 2024 is going to be even better.
Thank you so much for your support! Baby Gwen has been an angel.
You had an amazing year Josh. Here is hoping 2024 is even better with your ever expanding family. Sending 💕 love from Vancouver, BC.
It's been a memorable year, that's for sure! Thank you for watching!
Josh your future will be as bright as the smile on your beautiful wife's face and the sparkle in your children's eye. So never give up because we support you. Praying for you and your family 🙏
This was a Beautifully edited video. Thank You for sharing it with us. 💞
Be Happy 😂 Safe and Healthy 💞
I am truly blessed!! Thank you for the support.

Never lose your faith in what you do. We are behind you 150%. You are amazingly talented and surrounded by wonderful friends, who could go wrong with that?
Thank you my friend! Appreciate the kind words!!
We stand with you and your precious family, Josh. And Sequoia is resilient too! Just look at her! Fabulous video. ❤
I have also unsubscribed from them also. It's really sad that some people are so petty! Josh. You are doing an amazing job. Keep up the great work.
I unsubscribed from that person when I heard as I was a victim at around that age not from a family member but a friend of the family and he just sort of laughed it off. That doesn’t help the feelings or memories of someone traumatized by someone! I have no respect for people like that, I am thankful for all of you that left him! It shows you have higher standards and expectations and that you don’t want your children around him you don’t know if they truly have changed their ways with the attitude shown unless they are truly repentant!
That was fun to look back on. Glad you are still posting videos and working. Keep it up. 👍🏻
Great footage Josh ! I particularly like to see you with the guys again ! I have a theory on why things happened as they did. I will email to you when I sit down with a little time on my hands. ❤
Josh I Unsubscribe to his channel a long time ago and won't go back because of what he did. I'm with you and the others that are with you
What a story! AWP went after you? For what? I was sorry to see this in your post. Why you! Hey that was a great film piece with a new child, your poor dog had a tough time and I can only hope she can recover. Your work on this piece was so good. It was good seeing many of the friends included. All good people! I wish I could help in some way but have a few health issues and at 76 it is a struggle. God bless you and your help with lost people is so kind of you. ❤
Keep going, never stop!
Thank you for letting us into your life. Onwards to bigger and better. We are behind you.
I did unsubscribe from AWP over this attack on you.
Stay Strong! Stay Safe! 😺
Thank you for your support.
Josh Cantu it's been quite the past year for you, but I believe that you will prevail and succeed in your life and your career, you have amazing talent and experience, keep going forward. You will definitely make it. ❤You have terrific friends and family members.
I remember all of these! You have wonderful friends, and I'm certain they feel the same. You have a fantastic and supportive family as well. Love your work Josh ❤😊
Josh you have my support 100%! You are a stand up man and what is going on right now is wrong!! When I head of those allegations I unfollowed that channel immediately!! I searched out all the members that quit and followed them! You all are do amazing work I love your content and will follow you wherever your channel is or goes ❤❤❤❤
I also unsubscribed from awp. What i was taught in school, copyrights belong to the person who created it unless you signed a contract giving them to awp.. looks like you have some amazing friends.
Hi bud keep you're chin up bud that tiny little pip will prove sod all. I don't have a penny to send you right now. But if that little suirm try,s. To take you to court. You walk in alone ignore him and I swear any judge will see you win. I love you bud from aberdeen scotland.x❤ happy new year and my love to you and all your family. And as the diver Jacob will tell you keep diving its not worth it to stop. I love all you guys all the bestand I mean that from the heart brother.xx❤
Jared needs to move on. He is jealous of all of you guys that left him. He is a narcissist and needs to worry about his own legal problems. God dont like ugly. We got your back Josh! Keep fighting!
He's just proving what a slimy person he really is whether he's found guilty or not ! Best wishes to you and your family for 2024 Josh xx
What a great year that was, everyone loves you, your family, friends and subscribers, no one can take that away from you, you are a survivor, you have already shown that, AWP are now nothing, I for one do not watch him anymore, along with many others I suspect, he doesn't have what you have, he has lost that, which was totally his fault, sadly he has to find someone to pick on, and he chose you, you can get through this, you are a bigger man than he will ever be, 2024 will be your year, keep on doing what your doing, we are all behind you x
Difficult to sum up your year in 20 minutes but you did it with class.
Josh, only wishing the best for your father and future.
I'm so glad you earned your card and wow, what an opportunity to experience cave diving.
You are surrounded and befriended by the best and definitely a very talented videographer.
NO ONE can take that from you. WE stand behind you and beside you. 2024 will validate the man your family loves.❤
Someone else needs money for their legal fees in Utah after their December court appearance.
Hugs from 🇨🇦 Don't give up
Without the valleys, we wouldn't notice the beauty from the mountain top. Beautiful edit you've done here. I love seeing you guys come together and have fun. Some friends really are forever. Your kids have a LOT of uncles. ❣
Thanks for this Josh, I admire you so much and hope that many people like me are moved to donate and help you continue your adventures. Lynn from South Australia.
Think you Josh and your family and friends are awesome people, as we say in my country (kia kaha a te arohanui me koe) may you stay strong and know you are loved ❤️💪🙏 Amen to all of the other YT channels standing by you and support your true cause... Stay blessed

Unsubscribed from your previous boss the minute the s..t hit the fan, I love your work and skill in putting out awesome videos, your camera work is great and if there is a new team I could follow I would jump at the chance (would be even greater if it was some of the old teams} yes I follow chaos divers but miss you guys too xox
hope everything works out
Thank you , I have faith! I appreciate the support as well.
No doubt 2024 will be bigger and so much better ❤ awesome video Josh.

Happy New Year Josh 🎆 may 2024 be happy & healthy for you and your family, carry on doing the great work and keep diving 🤿🤿 x 💙
Congratulations Josh. This video is awesome!. A once friend and colleague in your underwater adventures never thought that you would make it this far. He made it difficult for you thinking you will be frightened enough to go back to his channel and join him again. it was jealousy of your success, and to the successes of the others...Doug, Carson, Nick and Devon...too.
2024 will be a challenging year for you and your friends. You are already succeeding that is why he wants to stop you with legal battles....
Continue Josh with doing the things that you love doing. Treasure your love for community service...treasure your friends...treasure the memories and heart-warming events that came your way , more on the bad...it made you strong . The good ones will always be there to make your day.
A beautiful addition to a growing family you have. God is good. Stay Safe. Keep on fighting for successful endeavors...God bless.
Mabuhay from the Philippines!!! Happy New year!!!
Great video showing what a busy, exciting and also challenging Year You had! ❤️🇳🇴
What a beautifully crafted and positively uplifting presentation. This brought a smile not only from the wonderful scenic views but from the clips of the stories and your friends we have all enjoyed watching. Yeah, this was really good. Wishing you, your fam & friends a great year ahead.
