I can totally relate. I too have been doing UA-cam for 10+ years and the time that it takes away from your family really adds up. It's manageable when views are good, but with everything going on with us having to win favor with the UA-cam algorithms, it really can make you re-evaluate where you choose to allocate your time. I would love to hear some of your music! I've found that adding the Shorts and Livestreams, both which don't take up as much time as a feature video, helps me manage my overall production time as little easier. Thanks for the update! I'm glad that you are doing well and are happy with how life is going. It would be fun to chat one of these days. It's been a while since our last talk. Take care and all the best! ~Cliff
I agree with you about the time management and questioning if it is worth it to keep making videos in an effort to try to grow the channel. I’ve been seeing view drops for months now, combined with more and more of my videos getting smacked with limited or no ads which kills my circulation. I don’t have that niche in a series that brings me tons of views and subs. I’m going to keep doing what I am doing because I love to share what I do with my subs and viewers but I’m not going to feel disappointed anymore about my channel not growing. If it happens, it happens.
100% man
Thank you, Cliff.
Honestly man, once you started opening up why you've been away I started cheering. I miss the vids but you can't get family time back once it's gone. But you can always go back and make another video. Live life brother and enjoy the blessings God has given you!
AMEN!
That ole intro music 🎶though 😭
Was just thinking about your channel today. Glad to see you back!
All good things come to an end. You can be proud of what you've built here and your videos will continue to help people for years to come. Come check in whenever you like or find it fun, we'll be here.
@@TACTICALNOMAD I don't think he has any desire to grow the channel. If he uploaded again he would be connecting with subscribers, and that's okay.
Best of luck and fortune in whatever you are up to! You are an iconic gun channel. Burnout is a 'thing' for sure, in many aspects of life. But every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end...take care!
I remember the video that brought me to your channel like 8 or 9 years ago was your first PM2 video. I have followed you ever since on my personal account. I love the honesty in this video, and more importantly, it is fantastic you are spending more time with your family! 🙌🙌🙌
Good luck to you brother. Do what makes you happy. Thanks for all videos through the years.
Thank you for years of good videos. You taught me a lot about knives and guns through the years. I wish you luck in whatever you decide to do.
Glad to see you are doing great and enjoying your family and your passions. I am very happy for you. I do miss you and your videos but your happiness is all that matters. Thank you for all the work you've done. I hope maybe to see another video, at least sometime. Even if I have to wait another year.
Thank you for all the great videos over the years. 9 years ago when the crkt ripple video came out, I watched it and subscribed. Your videos got me into knives and slowly other out doorsy things, and now they’re a big part of my life. Cheers from the Caribbean 🇻🇨 and all the best!
I've missed you and your balanced style with your clear love of your family in addition to other content. Nice to see you and continue to put the most important things first!
Hey man just want to say thanks for all the work you put in for this content. Really enjoyed your stuff over the years.
Love your channel, Shane! I miss your videos a lot, but you’ve got to do what’s best for you and your family. Wishing you all the best!
I totally understand. No matter what happens, thank you for all the content over the years.
I’m glad to see you back! I have been following your channel since I was a young boy, back when you posted your techlite lumen master flashlight review, wow technology has changed in such short time. I’m now over 21 and let me say your channel content has made all my hobbies much more enjoyable especially with knowledge. Shout out from California behind enemy lines
Well done my friend, I am a recent subscriber to your channel and really have enjoyed it. I understand the decisions and challenges you had to face, most people can't, you did the right thing, nothing more important than family. Be well......
Glad you are spending sometime for yourself. Bittersweet for viewers like me. I’ve watched you and Sootch and Cutlerylover for almost a decade. Loved y’all three because of the calmer and informative vide presentations. Always the best way to wind down at the end of a tough day!
That's explains a lot of why I didn't see your channel come up in may feeds. Thanks for all you have done.
I agree family is the #1 priority. I think a lot of us who started watching youtube gun and gear reviews since 2010 got "tactical fatigue." We bought a lot guns and multicam and realized that buying more "stuff" doesn't make our lives any better and the zombie apocalypse isn't going to happen. Enjoy your time with your family !
Missing your videos but family first. Much respect for the path you choose. Enjoy the time with the family man. Thanks for your videos!!
Always enjoy your vids shane. Appreciate your effort and you are not the first i’ve seen burn out but like others i follow i would encourage you to put something out now and then and that will be good enough for me. Best of luck going forward buddy !
So weird I was just watching your old SKS videos yesterday . You have such good content . Your happiness means more to me . You live in such a great part of the country . Go enjoy it .
Have a bunch of great times with family and finding new things to enjoy 😆 I have a follower for 6 years I thank you for all the good content you posted.
Have FUN 🤩
I appreciate all the videos these past years. Take care of your family.
I still remember walking past you in Cabelas and giving you the nod, I didnt want to fan boy on you. Family first man, and good to see you.
Ah man I would love to meet a guntuber in real life I bet they'd be honored
You do you! I like to see people enjoying what they do. That’s why I follow people on UA-cam. Love your content and will watch whatever you put out.
I’ve missed your videos, but I absolutely understand putting family first. I’m glad you’re okay and taking care of yourself and your family.
As the father of a small kiddo, I’d love to see some video ideas on family preparedness and easy family outings. I’d also love to see some more your music.
Hey man, without a doubt I relate to everything you said (I think it’s been 8 going on 9 years for us and you’ve been a friend through most of that) it’s disappointing that UA-cam turned the algorithm against us (many of us are facing the same burnout feelings)...I really don’t believe you lost the core of your audience. I think most folks like me would watch you do whatever you want to do because you’re a good, interesting and entertaining person...keep doing whatever you want, enjoy your beautiful family, we’re here and I’m looking forward to the next time I see you in the real word...✌🏾❤️🙏🏽
Thank you, bro!
@The Late Boy Scout Not proud to say that I was a freeloader on your channel and I watched many many of your videos. I enjoyed them.
Having admitted this doesn't mean that I can't thank you for the enjoyment you've brought me and also to wish you the best and much happiness.
Take care, you're a good guy.
wish i knew how long i was subscribed i know your channel was one of the first i ever subscribed to, i still have a love for this stuff but interests had changed over 10 years for me and likely the reason i didnt stop in as often to watch, glad to see you happy
It doesn't help that the longer people are on youtube the more people you subscribe too and you can't watch it all so you tend to pick and choose more and if you don't have the interest you skip over more and more.
You were one of the first UA-cam channels, if not, thee first, I ever subscribed to. I really miss your content but I enjoy still here connected over Instagram. Do what’s best for you but I’m always here for your videos
Thanks for the update. Glad you are well.
Thanks for the update and I wish you the best.
What a great explanation of what is involved and time consuming work it takes to do what you have go through to put out a video, i don't think most of us realize what a job it is to produce videos. The most important thing is spending time with your family and taking care of business at home, time is very short, time flies. Thanks for the video.
I am there now, every month I lose views. Great to see you man.
Scout, you had the best channel. It was so much fun to watch a reviews and see all the things that you did. I bought so many knives after watching your videos and a lot of them were always the version that you review because I wanted to have the knife that scout had. Can't wait to see what you do next if you come back
Much respect for you brother. I have always enjoyed your content, but totally understand your reasons for stopping. Family should always come first. Take care.
Great video. I fully understand where you are coming from. Thanks for the content over the years.
It's good to see you again, been wondering how you've been. I know how you feel about giving your time for other things and not family. You have to do what's best for you. I'll stay subscribed and hope to see you again. Thanks for all the information you provided the community.
Great to see you! You're a good man and your family deserves to have your attention. You should be happy in whatever you do. I've dropped both Facebook and Instagram, but I'll keep checking in here.
I have enjoyed your videos for nearly the entire time your channel was up. Good on you for reassessing life and making changes that were the best you and the family. Time is something we can not get back.
For the record, I don’t think viewership dropping off was a lack of interest as much as it was UA-cam algorithms. You put out high quality content.
You do you man. The best thing that you can do is to be happy. Godspeed and good luck with your future endeavors! 👍
Thank you for the great content! You were one of the first 5 UA-cam channels I ever subscribed to. You'll be missed!
Family trumps all. While I miss your content I'm glad you're focusing on what's important to you and your family. I wish you nothing but good health and happiness and thank you for all the quality content over the years. God bless you, brother!
Thanks for sharing. I'm in the same boat, my channel has been waning for three or four years. Family and work are taking priority, and generally the vids I liked best didn't post views. Not sure what will come next. Thanks for your honesty! Cheers, Andrew
Thanks for pouring your heart out. I'm 69. When I realized I missed my kids growing up is when I walked one of my twin daughters down the aisle in 2005 - I was 53. So, enjoy your family and children while you still can. My great uncle told me your kids step on your feet when they're young and step on your heart when they grow up. Sound to me like you are on the right path. God Bless you and your family. Thanks again for sharing...Abe
I’m glad you cleared the air and happy your doing good. Keep on jamming and I’ll see you on the IG 🤙
Missed your videos. Just finished watching your video on the PM 2 knife you made 9 years ago, then stumbled on this video. Take care and keep the reviews coming brother!
I have always liked your channel, and even watched your motorcycle riding in the mountains (pretty views for a Midwesterner to see). Whatever you want to do is the right thing for you. God speed and don’t feel like you have to do anything for us. You don’t owe us anything. I will stay subscribed. Shucks, if you don’t put out videos, it won’t clog up my subscription list anyway, so no worries. Post when you feel like it.
Good luck and congrats! Family first is definitely the way to go. Thank you for all the great videos.
Where were you filming the video?
Thank you for all your content! I remember buying a couple of knives from watching your videos . I'm glad you are doing good . Wishing you the best on your future endeavours!
Thanks for all the videos
Nice video. Time is something we all have exactly the same amount of, and family is everything. I’ve enjoyed you and your videos very much over the years, and as a musician myself, it would be great to see some videos on music, etc.
As much as I hate to see no or less videos from you, you are doing the right thing.
May God bless you and yours with a happy, healthy, safe new year.🙏👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I have always enjoyed your channel, what ever your direction going forward , I’m sure it will be worth watching
Do what’s best for your family, that’s what’s matters most
I look forward to your new directions
RGW in NC
Hey, thanks for the update! Glad your were able to reorganize life. Many don't until its too late. You don't owe any of us anything. Say "Hi" to the family and God bless.
I'm really happy to see you back, even if it's just a check in. Even if you only post a video every now and then, I'll be there to watch!
Nice To see the Bell 🛎 go off was wondering where you Been. Respect your honesty with Your Fans. Love your Knife Reviews 👍
Just glad to hear you are doing well after all the craziness of last year. Do what you gotta do man. The real fans will still be here no matter what, or when, you post.
Good to see you back, good luck on the journey. Totally understand the burnout.
Glad to hear you're playing music. I am honored to have you playing lead guitar in my pass the mic episode...haha! TRULY well said Shane. Most people will never understand the sacrifice that does go into running a channel and doing it well. It's a legitimate job...and the family does suffer. Glad you're keeping the important things important!
👊🏻👍🏻
From someone who’s watch you from the beginning.I always enjoyed your knife and flashlight videos. I thought that was your strongest content. For what it’s worth.
Hey hey welcome back to your channel!!! Lol Awesome to see you putting out videos again.
You and Adam equipped to endure, and David Canterbury channel are the one that started me doing all the fun stuff from gears to bag out stuff. It’s seems not that long a go but wow
Many blessings bro! Hope all is well now. I enjoyed your content, will follow on Facebook.
Thanks for the update and I'll miss it but FAMILY FIRST!
I've enjoyed your videos over the years. I agree with your new priorities. Life is too short and kids grow too fast. Best of Luck always.
I totally get it. I had an audio only entertainment podcast for 13 years. It was moderately popular-I used to joke that we had dozens of fans… all over the world. It was a lot of fun and I loved it, but after 13 years it started to feel like a thankless job. My life is different than it was when I first began the show with my best friend in 2006. I became a mom in that time, and also started a business. We made a bunch of friends through the podcast, and I am glad we started it, but our real-life family and friends always should come first. Being stressed out about the record/release schedule, always having to come up with fresh ideas, and all the editing time it takes to make quality content is not worth the aggravation. So, good for you! Thank you for the library of videos! I just discovered your channel and will watch them all. My husband and I particularly enjoyed your Subaru vid, and learned a lot from it. We have a similar life style and are looking to buy a 2013 Subaru. Anyway, enjoy your time with your family and remember, time is a resource you can never get back. Only put out a video when you feel like it and ONLY if it's fun. Merry Christmas and God bless!
Merry Christmas to you and yours as well! Thanks for the kind words.
I shifted to playing guitar, again, from gun vids 6yrs ago now, glad I prepped myself during that time but I enjoy playing and watching guitar talk and dont need to buy any ammo if i want to go shooting.
I miss your gun and knife vids because you were so honest! I watched you for years and I really miss your content. Wish you and your family the best in what ever you do. 🇺🇸👍🏻
Family first. Great choice. God bless and thanks for the reviews in the past. I wish you peace with this and hope you get right were you need to.
Hey good to see you again and best wishes! I'm a long-time subscriber and although I enjoy your videos and miss seeing them, I totally get it. I have no idea how you UA-camrs manage to keep cranking out videos knowing all the time it takes to film and edit them. I know I certainly don't have the time for it. So good on you for prioritizing what is most important in your life. Take care and all the best to you and your family !
Thanks for many hours of entertainment, gear reviews, and useful knowledge.
I always liked your videos, you have a very “watchable” style. Also like that you included your family in several of the shooting videos, something that I hope to get my children into when they’re older. I wish you all the best and thanks for what you’ve done to help the gun community on UA-cam.
Respect man. Totally understand where you’re coming from. There’s a point where no matter the amount of money you make, it’s not worth the time it takes away.
I'm glad you're still alive and doing well dude
Totally understand, brother. I just retired and I'm loving it. Enjoy the freedom of the shackles, and the excitement of a new "thing". Come back and do some gear reviews/new gun reviews if you can. I've been watching your stuff for many years and you had been one of the reliable go-to outlets when I wanted to learn about the things that go bang. It's always good to see a professional review. Peace be with you and your family.
Enjoy your content and I was just thinking about you and your channel last week. Wondering where the late boys scout it
2020 seems to be the year a lot of people stop talking about stuff and started doing it. Glad you're still in good health. Keep it real homie, God bless.
So weird…I was going through my subscribed channels yesterday, cleansing as it were. I came across your channel and was like dang, “he’s been quiet for a while,”but I like your content and I had hopes you would return. Thanks for the update and wish you the best moving forward.
Thanks for the update, similar situation for me, though one was a reverse reason - much of my motivation was doing stuff with my son, Logan (Beachhead). When he went to college, it wasn't as much fun doing stuff on my own. Add in a 3 year peak in professional responsibilities, followed by a year or so of catching up on things that went to the back burner as a result, plus the Adpocalypse, it was easier to not create content. I've gotten a motorcycle, and expanded my woodworking, but it's been simpler to just enjoy those without setting up cameras and then editing.
Back to roots man :) You started TLBS to share your passions. Whether you're on UA-cam or not, it's important to get that fire back 😎 Much love from the Philippines
I’ve missed you.
Thanks for the explanation.
All the best.
I was just wondering the other day what happened to you. I was honestly a little bit worried, so I'm genuinely happy to see you're not only fine, but thriving, and that you left for the right reasons. I'll enjoy anything you share here in the future; and, if you don't come back, be well!
Right on Scout. Put up the music. I haven’t had any guitar pedals in forever, but really miss the loop pedals. Congrats on walking away. You’ll be missed, but I’m happy for ya.
-Nick 😃👍
we need UA-camrs like you you're doing a great job great voice for it and great stuff
We’ve missed you!! Loved your content.
Forget how long I been subscribed, but I remember buying a CRKT knife based soley on one of your videos, the Moxie, I think. Regardless, I'm glad you're happy. I've always appreciated your content and look forward to when or if you create again. Thank you for all the time you've given, behind and in front of the camera. Sincerely, a fan.
Ive missed the content. But I understand man. Family first brother. Take care man, looking forward to your next upload if and when it happens
Thanks for the update! Glad to see you're still kickin'! We miss ya, but we understand!! UA-cam channels are HARD to maintain on a steady, especially the "bang bang, pop pop" channels. MANY hours of hard work. Do what you need to do, or not do. And if you do eventually feel like it, and you are still able, make more vids, we'll be here! Hang in there, and thanks again for keeping us in the loop!
Cool I’m glad you’re doing so good and good luck
Been wondering where ya went. I understand exactly where your coming from. Beautiful scenery where your at. God bless.
👏 This is awesome Shane! Find what makes you stoked in life 😁
Thank you for what you did do
I'm so glad you can spend time with the family.. Out of all the reasons that is the first and most important part...
Hey dude I definitely get it. I gave up after 3 videos and your stuff is way more interesting than mine. Been following you for years and I like your unbiased opinions. Whatever happens, thanks.
Do you man. Glad you are enjoying life
You don't need to explain, family must ALWAYS and HAS to come first. Hope you've enjoyed the time with your family. When you return I'll look forward to seeing your videos again. Take care
thanks for all your work brother !!!
