I like your walking and talking videos. I feel like I’m walking beside you. Don’t stop. You aren’t making a movie…you’re taking us along on your day.
My feelings exactly!
Totally Agree 💯!!
Yeah. Like people always say, you are a good story teller, and when you walk and talk, it feels more personal.
I do like the channels that walk and talk. We are walking with you. But I also enjoy the longer shows.
This
I’m not sure I’ve ever noticed a problem with “walking and talking”. It’s just part of it. Keep doing it. 🤷♀️
Rt. I was coming to say I enjoy the realistic down to earth grab the camera and start talking and walking like we Rt. There with him!! 🤷🏽♀️
The walking and talking is better. It’s actually one of the things I like. Just keep it balanced.
I don’t mind walking and talking either, it’s a treat to come along with you. 🇦🇺
I like the walk and talk as you go about your chores
I always liked the longer videos. I know you always want to improve your craft, but we're really here to hang out with you and your sweet family :)
Good to know!
@@theJustinRhodesShow OH YEAH!!!! REBEKAH & CO.!!!
EXACTLY 👌
Yay!! Love the old long format. Walking/talking is just fine-prefer actually over the cuts in and out. Your vids from back in the beginning got you where you are today as a blogger-“Don’t fix what ain’t broke”😜
Justin please remember that there are a lot of us who watch so we can spend time with you and your family. We enjoy the information but it is not always the important part
You're a busy guy, so if it's easier to just take us along, that's fine. Setting us on a tripod constantly is likely to add miles to your day. You need that energy for other roles in your life.
Please don't worry too much about the " walk n talk " I think it will make your day harder and you all work hard enough. Occasionally change things up.
Yes please, more of the old ways(full day/experience ) Pretty please! We enjoy the whole learning experience! Thank you for great content keep it up!
So happy to hear your going back to the longer videos. Love the kids as much as anything. Really takes me back. Your kids behave much like my family, respectful, etc. I have to say that I was disappointed with the short videos. Wondered if it was because of Abundant Plus. Thought you might be phasing out. You are #1, being honest, with a few other farm families running close behind. Love you all. Rebecca giving the kids vitamin shots, Gideon drinking every last drop without drama. Kids getting gifts, things they have earned too. Rebecca off in the distance next to Josiah, swept his hair. So much love. Heartwarming and much needed today, any day. Your videos are quality to me. Love the angles, content, variety, and much more.
Great insight. Good to get inside your brain for a sec. Honestly, I was being more topical. Sticking closer to whatever I thought was the main story of the day. Figured it would be better. For a time it was better my longevity. Really, I need to mix up the filmmaking just to keep it interesting for me, so I can last for you all.
@@theJustinRhodesShow You will last, EVERLAST! - just like your Farm & Family!!!
@@theJustinRhodesShow Yes, mix it up..oh like ya do. I look forward to the afternoon when I can sit and watch your vlogs. Lil Henry is keeping up. Your journey. It's such an inspiration😇
I like it when you walk and talk, feel like I am being taken along for the adventure. High production is not why I am here, I am here for the authentic, raw experience!
I like watching you as a family. Content doesn't always need to be teaching something. Your family & daily life brings peace and joy to my soul. That's why I watch u faithfully daily for the last 4yrs. I was a tad disappointed when u started shortening your vlogs but I still watch, enjoy, and give a thumbs up!!! More people need to remember to give it!!!
true!
Same here
Walking and talking is fine. It feels natural. Not every shot needs to be picture perfect but totally understand when there is a great shot how using the tripod is the way to go. A mixture of both is very enjoyable. Also happy to see a longer video again!
Honestly, I actually prefer the walking and talking. I don't prefer the documentary style stationary lectures. It's one reason I don't watch Roots & Refuge much, as much as I love Jess, I just don't love her filming style.
I do enjoy yours where you're taking us through your day and physically bringing us with you, talking to us as if we're walking right next to you. That's one of the the things that attracted me to your channel and kept me here.
Love all the videos, EXCEPT for the abrupt endings. Thank you for all you and your family does to share your experiences.
And thankfully, abrupt endings seem rare.
same.
I mostly feel like I'm having a convo with someone who suddenly walks away in the middle of a discussion 🙃
@@christiscamelotgardens47 I totally agree! Maybe I’m sensitive, but it comes across as rude and Justin’s not a rude person.
AMEN ON THE ENDINGS WITH NO GOODBYE. COMPLETELY AGREE. ITS RUDE TO JUST TURN EVERYTHING OFF...
@@terelhutto8604
Disagree. They never say Good Bye. They just shut it off 😕
I loved the old videos because it felt like we were hanging out with you and actually getting to experience it as if we were there. When the music was added the feeling went away and it turned into something that was trying to hard to be professional. Loved coming along to experience the days challenges and learn with you. Still watching and appreciate all you do to help and encourage people. Your drive and self discipline are admirable. I just think if you push too hard to do too much, you and the family might loose the intimate relationship you have with your viewers and maybe some of the joy of homesteading with your family.
PUT US ON THE GUYS WORKING ON THE HOUSE AND WATERPROOFING when they come back, people like/ love to watch building, we love watching changes in the kitchen(cabinets) the freezer build, the barn and the pig shelter, finding spring on property...cutting down trees for more pasture, you kept our attention.
Longer videos are back!! YAY! I like the walking and talking, lolol.
Walking and talking are part of the charm of your channel. You get things done and still keep us informed. Keep doing what you do!
The old ways was better.
Wanna see more of the day to day activities on the homestead ans how you guys deal with all the chores and raising your kids.
Justin, don’t change a thing. Like a viewer said, it’s like walking beside you. I have learned so much. Can’t wait to see the next video. You’re a great teacher 🌻😉😎
I love how you are ALWAYS thinking about how you can improve. Whether it be for yourself, the family, your business, the farm, etc. you are always thinking, planning, and working towards that goal. You are a good role model for your kids to emulate although they probably don’t appreciate it yet. They’re kids. They want to play. But you show them that they are an important part of the family, farm, and the business. Good luck with the new cow/ calf. Keep moving forward❣️
definitely appreciate a longer video more than a shorter video. If I run out of time I can just pause and still have content to watch later!
The mower guy has a great voice!
I love the walking and talking. Feels like I'm right there with you!
I like walking and talking too! I like the friendly walk with some story thrown in❤️ Don’t get to fancy dancy ……
I don't mind the walking and talking. Especially when you trying to make more time for clean up and still get things done.
I also like the older videos, long style family vlog. It's what made me love your channel. The information and learning is always great but I love seeing the family on the farm working together and growing. Keep it up, we love it.
You never say goodbye and it's unfinished. We really deserve a goodbye of some kind Justin.
Leaf blower will work faster for the sweeping... I do it in our garage
Its less about the length (I like the longer videos better) and more about feeling like we are "along for the ride". Meaning, "we" are around for the happenings on the farm. The last few months, we have missed out on a lot of farm activity and it makes us feel less part of the journey, speaking for myself. I have been watching vlogs and have that feeling like I don't know whats going on, that things are different and "we" don't know anything about it. Its absolutely ok for you to keep things private, but in comparing your current vlogs to previous ones.....I think that is it. Also, I LOVE the walking and talking so hopefully Dan won't listen to you....gotta keep the work moving along even if you are dragging us along.
Great feedback, thanks.
The only thing I would like to see change is how the videos end. It's an all-of-a-sudden ending & I don't know if it's really over ... Yet. I love watching your family working together & your walkie-talkies give a feel I'm along for the ride, which gives a more personal experience & yay for longer vids! 😊 Thank you for all you share!
Love the old style video! Thanks! The best part was at the end when you stated it took 45 minutes. The biggest disservice homesteading channel do IMO is when they make Premier One Fencing and animal moving look to fast and easy, The videos sometimes make it look fast and easy. When ever we have moved animals in Net fencing it is a lot of work and takes a long time.Don't make it look to easy cause it's not.
Oh I understand it. Walking, talking, focusing, holding the camera, paying attention to what your doing, watching your steps..... oh goodness, yup I get it. But it's all good and dandy, it's REAL LIFE. WE ARE THERE WITH YOU. I PERFER IT.
I loved your longer video. Thanks.
Nice to watch A longer video ,about the time I got interested in the shorter one it was over ! And wonderful to see things although we love your walking and talking it was nice to see you from a distance!lol love ya guys ! Waiting on next one !
I liked the inside communication with Dan. That was informative. It made me wonder how much instruction on the fly to Dan is contained in all of your video's.
I think I speak for a lot of us and that we like to watch stuff rather than be sold stuff.
So glad you are doing the longer videos again
You could mix it up some. Not all have to be long. Some could be topical and shorter and some longer with whole day bits in it. But we really enjoy the family times. The kids are growing up with us.
Yay ... back to longer videos.
I love the long, informal visits with you the best. 🙂
personally I like the walking and talking, also love seeing the things your kids create.
Josiah is my guy. I enjoy seeing him on the videos. Quite work horse that never complains. I am second to the oldest too and I hope the best for his future!
Same here and me too. Us second borns have to stick together. :-)
I like the longer videos... The short ones I wait a week to watch them so it doesn't feel so disjointed and I get the whole story instead of trying to remember OR I get confused because you're wearing the same thing and I think I've already watched it... I'll still watch, but how I watch probably is what changes.
Another vote for the yes please, more like this one!! It's been a while since I actually ended the show noticeably smiling!
Don't do it we love just the way you do it
We love orginal....way.... we are thankful y'all share your adventures with us...
Some of us are trapped in health situations
And you give us breaks from life issues
....Thanks again ....
I don’t mind walking and talking it’s real - love the clips
Love your videos. And appreciate the long ones. You are my classroom in my waiting room 🙂
Wow, thank you!
Yes I have noticed videos are only around 8 minutes lately. I really do miss the longer videos. Thanks for the longer video!
I love your videos regardless moving,sleeping or whatever..keep them coming..
Balls of any type work for kids. This grandpa has a box big enough to hold Lily that is full of every type and size of ball. In my shop, it’s the official ball box. Always open, always available!
Definitely your videos are worth watching several times even years or months later, Rhodes Family videos. Also am i the only one who wants them to be longer like this one even longer!! Love to see what you are building in every conceivable direction & QUANTITY & YOUR DEVELOPING IMPROVEMENTS even in your thinking!! Remember you said you learn so much even from reading fiction! I'll never forget THAT comment!! Love to hear all those different accents from APPALACHIA!! Just plain interesting content, hey!! almost a million subscriptions tell you how we feel about all of you!! What valuable content!! Even your kids suggestions, WOW!!! YOU'RE ALL JUST WOW!!
Waking and taking is fine, we all do it! Let's see more family play time!⚽️🏈🎲🧩🧸🎯
I love to watch how you teach your children the value of working for what they want.
You and Rebeca are amazing parents! Also love the longer videos 😊
I like the walking and talking I get to see more of what you are doing.
I've been watching you since where the winter cow deep bedding was a garden and you had snow collapse the tunnels for your broccoli.
new people start at the beginning to see what your about i did that 4 yrs ago too see all of them early vlogs you can learn about the family hugsss
I like you and your family and how you operate, that why I’m a subscriber. Just keep keepin it real. It’s always good quality no matter how it’s filmed. I’d personally like to see more of that fort/mud house the boys were building! Let them have to camera to show it off. You are all so wonderful!
Shame is a terrible motivator…. Sadly it works better than love and acceptance.
You do a great job with your videos and content. People don’t subscribe for your cinematography; they subscribe because of the content of the character of you and your family.
Agree
I love longer videos 📹 ☺ 🤗 🙂
I like the walking and talking and I like the longer videos. I feel like I’m there. It’s fun.
I love the old school videos. Just like you used to do it. It’s why I started watching. Just watched it. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Loved it. Thanks for going back to longer videos.
I love watching chores and every day life.
I have to agree with everyone. I enjoyed the walking and talking. I learn so much. And i dont want you to have to stop a set up a tripod every time. It slows you down. I appreciate you and your family. Thank you.
Blessings to all!
I like your walking and talking videos. Whatever works for you , works for me.!
I like the longer videos
That kid is pretty darn good at catchin chickens! Bravo young man!
I grew up on a chicken ranch... we had a tool to catch chickens... it was a piece of heavy gauge wire... somewhere between #4 and #8... bend the end 10 inches back into a U, leaving a gap between the main stem and the u of about 3/4 of an inch... then flare out the end 3" about 20-30 degrees... leave the entire tool about 5' long... handle end can be bent back tightly to provide a thicker handle.. you can then use this to catch the chicken's leg much more easily than chasing them and tackling them...
We had our very first chicken butchering/harvest yesterday. 21 cornish cross! Thank you for all your help over the years through your UA-cam videos, you have made it attainable. Blessings from our family to yours. 🇨🇦🐔🍗
I love the longer format
Walking n Talking is what makes me ...keep coming for more n more inspiration... I LOVE IT.❤❤❤❤❤❤
This was fun. Sounded like you enjoyed today. Ty
You probably won't see this Justin, but PLEASE don't overthink these vlogs! I really like the walk and talk/ feels like we're just hanging out videos...I suspect others agree with me! Its why I subscribed in the first place. Have a great week everyone. ❤🙏🏻🇺🇸
I loved the "long" videos in 2020. I'm gonna love the long videos about a variety of things or one single project in 2022. I could CARE LESS if you WALK-n-TALK. Your family is motivational, no matter what.🧡Rogersville, Tennessee
Love the old videos so much. It definitely is the length, and the feeling g of just being there through your day. Miss that.
I use a extra long handled large fishing net to catch my escapees with no chasing😁
I much prefer the walking and talking. You have mastered it. But do what makes your life easier.
Dude! You do you! We love you for a reason! It’s got nothing to do with steady. We love Dan, the Man too! You’re both practically perfect in every way, Mary Poppins! We’re here for the long haul!
By the way , I’m still crying over Phyllis. Just saying.
Love the longer Video! Thank you!!
🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
I like how you walk and talk and talk when you move us.
Feels more real and less scripted....
I enjoy your walking and talking videos, the only thing I personally would do different is to have an ending, like saying Thanks for watching or something. I hope my ramblings made sense. Love your videos though 😊
I watch most of your videos. Like your style and would not change anything.
I went and watched your old videos because I missed them and seeing the kids. I do enjoy your walking and talking.
I like the longer videos and the walking and talking. I often watch in the late afternoon or in the evening when I'm taking some time to rest, and I make a cup of tea or coffee and relax a bit. I know they say people's attention spans are shorter, and thus the shorter videos became popular. But as a Gen Xer who grew up before the internet and all these distractions, my attention span has thankfully been preserved.
The longer videos make it feel like I get to experience the day, I really like them
Mix it up walk and talk, what ever makes it more confortable for you. As i might speak for everyone, we love your content!
Id like to see more how you preserve food like the Hollers do. Their videos are the perfect length to content ratio.
I also think it’s because they do the editing themselves so it’s more homemade vs along the lines of commercial
I got very excited when I saw this video was 20 minutes long. Absolutely yes to the old style longer videos. I agree with you - the walking and talking is distracting and much better when it’s on the tripod. The way you filmed in the older videos with a tripod and a transition every minute is beautiful and very watchable albeit a lot of work which is greatly appreciated. I’m excited for you to go back to the old style and thank you for all your work.
I like your walking and talking videos. Feels like I am right there with you.
Most of the time, you are very smooth with carrying your camera.
Thanks for all of your teaching and sharing of your lives.
My kids (1.5) (4) and (7) watch your show together. Our favorite is when you walk and talk and show us daily life. My kids are less interested when your holding still and talking. We love watching you as you go about your daily life. We have a homestead also and it is fun for the kids to see other kids doing what they do.
since the tall tripod became a fixture, seems videos went to earthquake mode, sometimes I cant watch the jostling hurts...I love this farm. fam.
With all your work with the chicken tractors and coops, now that you are expanding your area you work. Question is are you seeing better tick control as you develop new areas? I would think various poultry help.
Walking and talking not a problem just so long that we aren’t focused on your face and miss some Important info
I’m a city girl (country at heart) can’t afford to go into a+
But I enjoy your family I like to see the working side of your farm
That’s what first attracted me was the working of the farmstead
Thank you for longer videos again
Great to see the whole family! Thanks for sharing!
Yes!!! I am excited to see some longer videos! I started watching in 2019 and I loved those long videos!
Yay! Thank you!
@@theJustinRhodesShow I’ll never forget watching your videos all night when my wife and I had our first child staying up through the night allowing my wife to sleep. I binge watched your videos. You’re the reason I got a garden some raised beds and chickens. ❤️ Nothing but love for you and your family!
19:35 that’s a clean mustang, also personally I like the walking and talking because it just feels more realistic you know.
After reading a few of the comments and watching you for years a piece of advice. Your walking/filming/talking conveys a sense of energy that a still shot cannot deliver. By placing your camera on a tripod you start to look like your talking at viewers and not having a conversation. Some shots should come from a tripod but don't overthink a style just because you read it in some book or listened to a film editor who doesn't know how to edit your film style. It's working and helps you connect with your audience. Just a thought or two.
Great point. I'm also trying to make movies that I'd like to watch and that will interest me in making them.
I loved it being longer. I love seeing the family all working together ❤️ hopefully I will have a life like this one day ❤️
