I’m 19 years old and I’m considering moving to Salt Lake City one day showing your adventurous life makes me wanna go RIGHT NOW😭😭
Make the most of where you are while you’re there. Make a plan for when you want to move but embrace the now for what it is. 👍 In hindsight I had some awesome memories before I moved but am loving life now too.
Yes I love living in Salt Lake City!! It’s the best place. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Living In Salt Lake City No problem! Lots more SLC content coming. 📺 👀
Never seen such honesty in a vlog. Well done.
Thanks man. It’s the best thing for everybody
Just found the channel a few days ago and also looking to move to SLC as soon as possible. Great video man! Keep it up and the results for the channel will show!
Brandon Thank you bro! So cool. Appreciate the sub too!

David Simon Thank you dude! 👏It’s all true! Appreciate the positive feedback. Maybe I’ll see you in March! ❄️🤞
You’re such an amazing storyteller. At the 4 1/2 mark, I’m tearing up and having to pause the video. Thanks for the authentic content!
conniechung714 You’re welcome! Thank you for appreciating it.
Dude. I missed this video. Really honest and refreshing take on your last year. You're ahead of the game with 1k subs in December!
Keep up the fantastic content. Makes this sunny living skateboarder want to get to the snow and give snowboarding a go as soon as possible!
Progress Skateboarding Thanks a lot man. I REALLY appreciate that. Love your skate content too. It’s super inspiring. Btw, indoor skate session coming to my next Woodward video!!
I'm only a teenager and have been to slc once and loved it I am from Tennessee and cant ski here and dont have the mountains here in Nashville and I am going back in about 4 days and I would love to move there and be able to explore the city and all of its ski resorts as I have only been to Brighton. I'm glad I now know your story on your experience moving across the country and living in salt lake city you have given me very good insight on the move that I would be making
Jaden Fann Glad to hear it man! Thanks for the comment. I wish you the best!
I’ve been here since your first vid and it was fun to watch man! You will get 1k bro your channel it’s absolutely ridiculous that you didn’t hit the 1k mark your vids are amazing just wait you got this!
Ryan Duncan I know you have! Thank you bro!! 🙏🙏🙏 I appreciate that more than you know!
Hey dude, I love you channel man. I barely subscribed and found your channel. I live here in Salt Lake. It's a beautiful city. I love living here. I've been here about 6 years. I love the mountains, the rocks, and the Great Salt Lake. Utah is the best state in the US! I also like the Utah Jazz. Go Utah Jazz!!
I give a loving gratitude for you guys. Hope you have a great season. Good luck here in Utah. Hope you guys stay in 2020 and beyond.
Noah Young Thank you man!! Appreciate the ❤️! We love it here too. Gotta catch a Jazz game still. God bless and have a great season too! 🙏
Makes me happy to see you have crushed your subscriber goal now watching this in November 2021. Loooking to make the move to Salt Lake from New Hampshire. This was a very honest and helpful video. You are crushing it man! Best of luck
Thank you Nick! That means a lot. Wish you all the best in your journey of life. Salt Lake is getting a bit crowded unfortunately but I guess that’s happening everywhere.
Yo! Moving to SLC from Maryland in December! Appreciate your video brotha. Keep up the good work!
Omar Perez Dude! So sick. Hope you love it! Thanks man. Hope you love it! What part of MD?
Very nice Dan!! I didn’t realize so many people wanted to move out that way lol. I been following for less than a year now and your probably starting to recognize my name since I keep dropping comments and likes haha. So just to be completely honest Dan, these old videos are great man. I’m glad you documented it all moving out there and even updates after the fact. Having the wifey(I don’t want to spell her name like the car in case that’s wrong hahaha) jump in for a little bit was cool, just hearing both opinions was awesome, not many would do that. It’s great and a blessing that you guys get to do it together and are enjoying it!! Sorry for the long and frequent messages but I feel that I have to show some love and give respect since you’ve already made the move I plan on making this year, and I did say I owe you a lunch when I get out there haha.
Glad you are sticking with it and growing. Love the snowboarding videos, I'm not a skater so I've missed your summer videos. Everytime I see an orange Subaru I look for your logo so I can chase you down and meet you! Are you going to try some more how to or tutorial videos? I think that will really help increase the views. Hope to see you this season,
HowIDidIt Thank you so much for the kind words!! I totally get that. Keep looking for the Subie, Haha. I just threw some decals on it! Would be dope to see you this season for sure!
Love the honesty and vulnerability on this video
Thanks dude! Try not to sugarcoat it.
I can relate to you guys, my husband and I moved to SLC in 2018 for my husband to go to school out here, we sold our house and moved across the country with our fur kids! It felt crazy. I’m the one working full time while he finishes school. Sometimes I wish I was the one in school but hopefully it will be my turn when he’s done. It’s not always easy but it’s been a fun adventure. Good luck to you guys and I hope your channel grows a lot in 2020!
Thank you Steph! We can definitely relate to that. Hang in there. We wish you & your husband all the best for 2020 as well. God bless!
And next season will be awesome for sure!
Thank you bro!! Agreed!
Your video quality is wicked good dude. Always looks amazing 👌🏼👌🏼
Alex Trafton Thank you bro!! That’s what I strive for. I want the audio to get better so sorry about the wind noise! That’s part of the progress tho
Thanks for putting out this video. Moving to SLC in June after graduating college
You’re so welcome! Glad it could help. 👍
I can't believe it's already been a year! I remember when you told me your plans to do this, I thought then what I still think now, "This is awesome!"
Keep going dude, I'm hoping you reach your 1K subscriber goal! :)
Don Robles Haha. Thank you brother! ⏰ ✈️ Gonna keep giving it our best! Like Sellika said, it’s the goldrush of our generation. So glad you can follow our journey!
With you 100% Keep at it brother.
Thank you!! For sure! 🙏
Its the downs that make the up feel so much better. I'm sure if you keep up the great work with the vids the channel will grow. You know what they say "Make it and they will come".
AM Skateboards Thank you, my man! So true. Just like the field of dreams, we gotta build the field. Appreciate the support! 👍
You got this dude! I think some how-to videos will maybe boost the crowd a little bit. Just keep doing you brother! Love the videos!
Connor Sylvester Thanks bro. I think you’re right. Gonna try to add some more tutorials and product reviews this season. Thanks for the support man! 👊
i've lived in utah for 26 years went to elementary school here. i've ski'ed once. now my back is all jacked up and i want to use those majestic mountains i've neglected for so long. sad.
In my opinion, a good chiropractor/physical therapist can do wonders! I broke my back when I was 25. Had chronic pain till 35. Saw a chiropractor and did physical therapy for 4 months and now 2 years later I’m pain free. No joke.
+1 on the complications of one person holding down a job while the other pursues a dream. About 3 years ago we did that same setup. I kept my job while my wife pursued starting her own business. I think what kept me from getting frustrated -- and so able to also keep her guilt at bay -- is that I knew she was putting in a ton of hours to make it work. The first two years weren't very successful, but this year she's gotten some breaks (despite Covid) and will have enough income to sustain us both if I end up doing something similar in a year or two.
Right on man. That’s awesome. I’m happy for you both. Our second year is going much smoother as UA-cam gains more momentum and I’m working a second job.
Love the real talk.
Thanks. From the ❤️ !
Not going to lie, I’ve been checking out all of your videos without subscribing because I figured that if I did, I should subscribe to every other video out there with the same context. However, the honesty behind this video got to me. There’s so much that I can relate with in this video and your search for a better life. Kudos to you bro. Anyways, you’ve gained a new subscriber and I hope that you get to achieve your goals!! Peace brother!!
Thank you for that! Means a lot!!
Thanks for reading my comment on the video! I'll make sure to share your channel with my ski friends.
Thank YOU!! 🙏
Wow this is such a cool look on our generation! I love the analogy of the "gold rush of our generation"
Right? Seen as a big risk but worth chasing even though only some will succeed.
Good video! I like it! Hope everything's great.
S0D4P0P - Thank you! We’re doing great, considering how things are right now. Thanks for watching! Hope you’re doing well too.
Just subscribed. Enjoy the content and your positive outlook. Keep the faith, continue putting in the work, and good things will follow.
Thank you so much! It’s the truth!! 🙏
@@BoredProgression I'm in Brian Head. Welcome to shred anytime.
Sick! I’ve been wanting to get down there to ride! Hopefully next season. 🤙
Hoping to get out to SLC from Charleston. Look forward to watching your journey!
McHottersons Hope you can! Thanks man! 🙏 Appreciate that.
Same omg!!
Im a skier and I watch u!! keep at UA-cam man you'll get there
John Marshall Thank you bro!! I appreciate the love!
You should try snowboarding
I wish you guys the best
Thank you so much!! 🙏
Nice video man, Colombian coming out to SLC next year.
Saludos desde Colombia
Sebastian Ize Thanks dude! 🙏 I hope you like it here!
Just found you! I liked this video, new subscriber here. Living in Oklahoma but looking elsewhere to move.. cost of living an mountains are very important to me.. from my research I’m concerned about the cost of living in Colorado so I have been thinking Utah.
Welcome! Thanks for the sub! That's why we ended up here. The cost of living is going up, (well was going up till covid) but it's still cheaper than Colorado.
Hey, this is a cool video! As someone who wants to do what you've done eventually, I'll be sure to go check out that playlist you've mentioned :)
Hope your channel grows quickly! Props to your wife for supporting and believing in you :)
PS your cat is cute 🐈
Blue Bird Thanks so much!! We wish you the best of luck from all 3 of us on your future goals!! 👍 Set deadlines. It was the only thing that made our “some day” become a reality.
@@BoredProgression that's solid advice! I'll be sure to follow it :)
Awesome content. I was looking for GoPro Hero 8 reviews, which was how I came across your channel. I spent some time in Salt Lake over the summer, and your videos are making me wanna go back.
HawaiianLion15 Thanks a lot! I appreciate that. It’s a cool place. I like it in the summer but it’s even better in the winter IMO.
Well I’m from Hawaii, so even June in Utah was pretty cold for me hahaha. Keep up the good work.
HawaiianLion15 haha. I bet! Hawaii is on my list to visit. Not a bad substitute for the cold.
Aye, I’m gearing up for a move from D.C. to SLC! Great channel 👍
Lauren Wood Nice! I miss the museums and history of DC a little but the outdoor life here more than makes up for it to me. Hope you like it!
This video is a big inspiration. When I am finished with college I really want to move to the mountains as well, its my dream. The only problem is that their are no mountains in my countries so I would have to learn an entire new language.
Country*
Really? Your English seems amazing, if you typed this! Or was it translated? 🤔 Glad to hear this inspires you. All I will say is that if you decide it's what you want, and you're willing to make sacrifices to make it work, it will happen.
@@BoredProgression just thought I let you know I did it. I'm gonna live in Austria this season to work as an ski instructor before I'm going to college. In these 5 months I learned German and improved my English. This video was such an inspiration wich gave me the courage to do this, thank you
Where did you ride when in Bmore? Glad you guys were able to stick with it, just discovered your channel a few weeks ago. As I look back through your library I can see the video quality steadily improving.
Thank you!! I rode in southern PA mostly and rarely Vermont and a few other places up north. But most time on my board was at Liberty, Whitetail & Roundtop.
@@BoredProgression Hitting Liberty Wednesday, Camelback PA the following week. Keep it going, love the content.
Just subscribed keep up the UA-cam and you’ll get exposure someday
Jake 098 Thanks man!! 🙏 I appreciate that so much!
I was considering moving to SLC but I found to be be too hot, I live in Pensacola Florida where it gets hot but nothing compared to 97 and sometimes in the 100s in SLC
It’s been pretty hot this summer for sure. But IMO the humidity in FL is worse. Love visiting FL tho!
I think this video was suggested to me because I live in Utah. I don't normally watch videos like this, but this was interesting. haha It's always cool seeing how people from out of state view Utah. I looked at your channel and noticed you're very consistent with uploads, and that's good for growing your channel. If you keep doing that and focus on making unique, engaging, and entertaining videos, I see no reason why you won't meet your goal. My advice though if you want to turn this into a living, push boundaries. Make crazy videos and don't be afraid to step outside of your box. If you want subscribers, let alone subscribers that will pay you, you need to make content that makes people look forward to your uploads. I'd say don't only do outdoor stuff and venture into all sorts of avenues. Oh and initially I don't think your goal should be money. Your goal should simply be to make great videos. All of the channels I love had to grind for like five years before things snowballed and took off, but they eventually did and now a lot of them have hundreds of thousands of subscribers. One thing they all have in common though is that they kept their eye on the prize and did it because they loved the content they made, and their goal wasn't money.
The Dark Ruler Thanks a lot for the kind words and input. I agree. I’m definitely in it for the love. Especially when it comes to the outdoors side of things. I like to step out of my comfort zone from time to time, but I also want my content to have a consistent theme and not just shock value (which tends to be view oriented). Personal progression is my theme. My number one goal isn’t to make money. It’s to do what I love, the best I can, without needing to work other jobs that take away time from doing that. That’s just the reality of needing to make income from this. If success comes, great. But if not, my passion won’t change. Thanks for watching something out of your usual feed and thanks for the advice! 🙏 Very appreciated.
@@BoredProgression No problem man. I hope you reach your goal and I also hope that you continue to like Utah!
The Dark Ruler Thank you dude!
Congrats on hitting your benchmark on subscribers. If you do live videos about Salt Lake , I’d love to superchat!
Thanks soooo much my dude! Live videos coming soon! Any preference on days/times?
Thanks for the video. My girlfriend and I are planning to move to SLC in january with our cat as well. What neighborhood do you recommend? Your apartment looks perfect for what we're looking for!
Awesome. You’re welcome! Anything on the east side is good. The closer to the canyons the better.
Yo! Love the openness. This yeast had been a real struggle for me too! I got a season pass to Snowbasin. Hmu if you want to hit it. Much love to you. Jesus is King!
Oh. Need some stickers. Where can I get some?
FURBjr Thanks dude! Congrats on the pass! I would love to hit Snowbasin! Praying this year is full of blessings for you. 🙏 Amen! God bless!! 💯 %! And stickers are another thing on the goal list for 2020!!
Great video ! What is the name of apartment complex ? Looks like it has a lot of greenery around
Thanks! It’s actually a house with an attached apartment.
Moved from the South..Best decision of my life.
So cool. Glad to hear you’re happy too!
I just came back apon this video and still feel more encouraged to pursue my dream of moving west from Nashville i had a question about snowbird. is there employee housing and if not what is the best area with affordable housing in slc closest to the mountain. love the vids.
Thanks for watching and glad it's encouraging you dude! There is employee housing at the bird but it's very limited. Best thing you can do is search online on sites like zillow. Unfortunately, the closer to the mountains, the more expensive it gets, so you gotta decide how far is too far? Personally I'd want to be no more than 40 minutes away.
@Jaden Fann look around Cottonwood Heights towards the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon. Duplex Alley is affordable and walk to bus/hitch hiking locations.
Subbed. Where’s all the merch??? That will be a game changer for you if you can get some stickers and shirts for sale! I would def support ya. I’m from south central PA, York to be exact. Possibly crossed paths at ski roundtop dude?? That’s my home mountain. Anyways good luck dude I will definitely be following.
Awesome!! Thanks bro! We probably crossed paths at Roundtop, Liberty or Whitetail. Haha. Did you know they're on the Epic pass now? Crazy. Merch will hopefully be dropping after the New Year! Definitely stickers!! Maybe more. Thanks man!!! 🙏
Are you going to do another one of these now that the season is over (and about to begin again)?
killmore88 I’ll do an end of summer/early fall update very soon. It won’t be so much a living in Salt Lake recap tho.
@@BoredProgression cool. It would be great to hear more with your wife, feelings on UA-cam, and the future of the channel if it interests you. Thx!
thinking about moving to Utah, but I don't like skiing or snowboarding.. so not sure if it is worth it : /
Maybe not honestly. 🤷♂️ the mountains 🏔 and outdoor life are the main attraction.
Which skatepark(s) did you go to? Just moved to SLC myself and looking for parks.
West Valley is probably my favorite. After that I’d say Sandy & Lehi are awesome too. The parks on the north east side of the city are kinda meh. Welcome to yeeewtah!
@@BoredProgression thanks man! Come skate sometime. Don't know anyone out here.
I hope your relationship has got better since this video was made.
Thank you! Our marriage is stronger than ever! Covid19 has put a strain on a lot of relationships but we've grown through it. Thanks for the kind words!
whenre you coming out to mammoth!?
Rohnny Joyer As soon as I can dude!! You know anyone with a hookup? 😉
Hi, thank you for an informative video. I’m a teacher here in MD and am considering moving to UT. May I ask what school district did your wife teach at here in MD? Where does she teach in UT now? I’ve been doing some research on the best places to teach/live in UT. It would be nice if you and your wife can make a video on that subject. Thank you!
Dan August Erfe Hey! No problem. She was in Baltimore City and now she’s in Granite district and loves it. One thing that we weren’t anticipating is that taxes are way less here. There’s basically no city tax so consider that when looking at income.
Bored Progression
Just subscribed.
How many years of teaching experience does Granite school district give credit for new hires’ salary placement? I taught in Baltimore city for 6 years.
Dan August Erfe Straight from Sellika: “I got credit for all my years, I also worked in Baltimore for 6 years and Granite gave me credit for 6 as long as BCPSS verifies them. I started in granite on step 7 because it was my 7th year teaching. I went straight from Baltimore to Granite with no gap so I’m not sure if having a gap in your teaching would affect things, always verify with HR to confirm your personal situation, but this was my experience, I got to keep all my years experience.” 👍
What is the diversity like? We are looking at moving there.
It could be more diverse, honestly. 😕 It's mostly a lot of white people, some Hispanics and some Asians, and very few African Americans. That's the one thing I do kinda miss from living in Maryland. It's about 85-90% white families, due to the Mormans having their roots here, I'd say.
Water colors. Ryan.
🤔 Sorry, but huh?
Hey dude how much do you pay for rent out there?
In our tiny studio $1k/month
@@BoredProgression thanks for the response brother. Always wanted to move out there but looks like housing is beginning to match out here in NY suburbs. Insane.
Yeah the housing market is booming here right now unfortunately. It’s cheaper than other ski towns tho.
Damn right it was your best year. It is Utah.
Sundance Haha. Amen!
@@BoredProgression Forgot to add - Great video
Sundance Thanks a lot!
SLC IS THE BEST !
It is! 👍
410 son
Yeww! 🙌
Utah is pretty cool. Making a life here is really easy, there are a million jobs, for those who want to do them. And yes, if you want to drink pbr and smoke weed, your wife will eventually leave you for a better reality.
Johnny O'Connor 🤣 Hahaha. Good thing I don’t do either of those I guess.
Stop spreading the truth about this place! The morman stereotypes have protected us for so long and you’re jeopardizing that by showing people how awesome it really is in SLC!
DirtyDinner24 I take it all back!! Everybody, SLC sucks!! Don’t come here! 😬
YOU JUST EXPOSED US IDIOT SMHHH
Sorry but I think you’re doing it wrong. You should have a job or enough savings to pay your share until the channel takes off. Not fair to put that strain on your relationship in hopes of your dream taking off when there’s no evidence that it will. And then to say putting out 2 videos a week is a struggle is a shame. Sorry to be harsh I’m all for people succeeding on UA-cam but you need to bust your ass more honestly. I hope you can find this motivational not offensive.
I appreciate the feedback man. We did save up a ton before moving out here but maybe we still had unrealistic expectations. And as far as 2 vids a week, I put way more effort into each video than your average vlog, so that’s just the way it is for me. Quality over quantity. But I see the other side of it too.
I just have to say. One approach to gaining subscribers might be not talking in several videos about how you quit your job to be a youtuber, how its put strain on your life at home, and how you need to monetize this. It's....weird.
Bottledincork Thanks for the feedback! Interesting opinion, but in my opinion, honesty shouldn’t be... weird.
Bored Progression self-awareness > honesty. You lost a subscriber in me, but I am sure you’ll reach your goals. Good luck!
My self awareness is fine. I like being honest. Thanks for the views bro!
