Just know that your earlier videos with you and the family helped modelled good relationship goals, and was an inspiration to all new dads. You still are an inspiration on your decision on putting family first.
What a bummer really enjoyed the family content and now a few knuckleheads go and ruin it for everybody else. Ain’t that always the way! Will keep watching and be. grateful for what you put out, I guess you’ll leave us wanting more.
I’ve enjoyed the fun side of Matt and his family for years, but I have gained a lot of respect for the husband/father side of Matt over the past year. We need more fathers and husbands like this man. Thank you for allowing us to meet your family. I’m so sorry there are people who have abused that. I support your decision 100%. All the best!!!
Probably the most honest take on this I’ve seen from any UA-camr. Sorry y’all have to deal with this. Glad you’re doing what’s best for the safety of the family!
I remember meeting you years ago at a Whataburger. You were with your wife and I just wanted to shake your hand and say hello. You were cool and kind. I don’t understand why people would want to mess with you. Thank you for the great content over the years.
Lonely , shut ins. It’s been an issue for public figures who make any video content for century plus. Even writers get stalkers. Most are harmless but only takes one …to instill fear of all.
You are an example of what he is saying. He may have been nice but I GUARANTEE he wanted to yell at you "I AM WITH MY FAMILY, GO AWAY!". Without a doubt he did. But chose not to. I watch your videos Matt so surely you won't mind me barging in on your family time because I deserve to meet you. That's you and you have no clue.
Mere and the kids have always been a huge part of this channel, and they will be missed. But I don't blame you at all for doing what you think is best for your family. We'll still be here. Peace and love!✌️❤
I hate that it has come to this because as a young women she was a great inspiration. Just in the way she handled things. But absolutely protect the family.
"They're not a threat, anymore." Totally not ominous xD Glad to hear you're not shutting down or splitting up! Hope everything works out with the new direction, and I love what you guys do.
Look what happens to Christine Grimme hope I spelled it right, lots of sick people out there stuck in that cold wet basement, with their sick cold computer.
I completely understand why y’all are pulling back and 100% support it. As a young guy trying to figure out life it really has helped to see how you have interacted with your family and just how to be a good husband and father.
@@maxwellblackwell5045 Yeah, I am Matt's cousin. He beat his wife Mere into a coma. That is why we haven't seen her. She might not make it through. He was questioned by the cops but said a trespasser did it. He is going to get away with it.
Matt, I’m one of your older viewers, and by that I mean I’m old. I am your dad’s age. The years in which your dad and I were raised were simple, and you didn’t really have to worry about your neighbors or people for that matter. But my grandkids, a couple of them in their late teens and early twenties, who have social media pages, have had problems with psychos stalking them. But you being as big a media presence, I can only imagine the hell you and your family have been through. When you bought the abandoned mansion I thought that was a smart move, on a hilltop and all. The main thing is your number one concern is your family, and your family you protect with your life. God’s blessings to you all.
Thanks Matt and Mere for the year's of smiles you brought to us all sharing your life with us. Its disappointing that some selfish people go to far and choose to lose sight of the boundaries
I respect you sheltering your kids tremendously. To many people take advantage of their kids for views. It's unfortunate that some people ruin things for other people.
I hope the clip of Mere laughing uncontrollably in the low-rider isn't removed from the Off the Ranch outro montage=-/ It makes me laugh n brings a smile to my face. EVERY. time. Its so funny. so infectious ..and ""it's. so. dumb!"" Lol It really is too bad that a few bad apples can ruin the entire wholesome bunch, BUT there _are_ some real freaks out there and its completely understandable. Thanks for letting us tag along through all the years and inspiring us to be better in everything we do. Much love✌🏻
I’m very sorry for Mere. She spent a lot of time on this business and you could tell she really cared. I will also miss her taking over the channel to show us her photo shoot trips. Wishing her the best.
@@bennypit4411 You must be joking...that architecture CLEARLY is modern North American/Canadian. The Store/'Warehouse' is in Texas...next time do your own minor 'research'.
Good on you Matt for handling your family & business. Internet stalking and harassment are crimes and for some reason people don't have boundaries and that's terrible. Hope all gets better.
Ive been watching since the Vet days! First you are a husband and a father. It is your job to make decisions to protect your family. You are doing a great job. Dont let the crazies rule your life. ❤❤
He lost his vet license by trying to perform surgery on his wife. The judge said dog surgery and human surgery aren't the same. He is out on bail and will most likely go to prison. His wife lost the use of one of her legs because of him. That is why she will no longer appear in videos. Neither will he once he is locked up.
@@AndrewPL5 he’s the head of the household. He always has a choice. Plus, his company is the one who backed her company and supported it (financially, warehouse space, etc). Let alone the fact that his UA-cam channels, which he started and developed into millions of subscribers, is the one that promoted her company and gave it reach to large amounts of people.
@@josiahkahkonen2307 imagine having such an outdated view thinking only the man is head of household. She is a person with wants and needs, and she decided what she wanted and did it. It wasn't up to him and he didn't have a choice. He of course helped her, but it was happening with or without him. And you're right, it's his youtube channel, and she decided she didn't want to be on it or her kids
Whatever the reason you’re making the right choice. Tank you all, everyone involved for amazing content. You are a great man for wanting to and doing your best to protect your loved ones.
As much as I loved seeing Mere and the kids on the channels, I fully understand your decisions and am glad that you guys made the call to put some distance between your family and the internet. Keeping them safe is more important than the entertainment of a bunch of internet denizens, and even more than continuing a passion project. It's tough to turn your back on something that you've put a lot of work and passion into, but at the end of the day, choosing to protect your family is definitely the right call. We nine hundred and ninety nine normal, reasonable viewers will still be thinking about them and wishing them well even without seeing them in videos 😊
This is the most nuanced and adult view on the negative sides of a social media presence I have seen. You guys' decision is understandable and although your great family dynamics made for wholesome and entertaining videos, you are doing the right thing. Ones family needs to be safe and sometimes that takes sacrifice. I'll still be a, mostly, silent enjoyer of your content and am looking forward to all the other crazy projects you have planned in the future.
I don't blame you one bit, your family has to come first. It's unfortunate that all that work that was put into your wifes business ended this way because of a few jerks...
110% feel you on this. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of negative people out there that hide behind comments. Love and support the Demolition Ranch Family, keep up the awesome work!!🙏🙏🙌🙌
@sxsx5951 usually personality makes his content entertaining and the sense of humor he delivers with the informative content, hope that answers your question.
I’m sorry for your troubles, and fully respect your decision to pull back a little. You have to do what’s best for your family because family comes first. I’m proud of you and your lady for everything you’ve done.
I have been watching this channel since I was a kid, and now I’m a senior about to graduate college. I still remember all the way back to the two deers fighting in your old back yard. I’m sorry it has come to this but you must protect your family. I wish you and your family the best, I hope one day I can come out to the ranch and have some fun on the range. God bless
As a husband and father, just like you, I would do the same thing. Your family comes first and no one will be mad at you and your family for doing what you all feel is necessary. God Bless you all for doing what you all do.
i've been watching your videos for what it feels like 15 years and there was always that itch of worry about how open you were with your life and family but that also was the thing making you more real to us. i was glad when you decided to keep the kids out, and now I'm glad your keeping your whole family out, ofc it's sad but a dad's gotta protect !
You guys have always been super down to earth and real with your audience and that’s why I’ve always stuck around throughout years ! Definitely respect your choice and you’re W dad/husband for protecting your family 💪🏽
Matt, you've basically made us a part of you're family for years, heck "invited" us into your home and when you're in another mans house you play by his rules. People have no respect.
It's just the few weird psychos that end up ruining things as usual. They have made Matt and his family feel unsafe. How can people that do this sort of thing really think it is a good idea or is acceptable? What do they think Matt is going to do when they find his house, jump the gate and knock on the door uninvited?
I remember your first video talking about the issues people have been giving you and your family a couple of months back and I'm still 100% behind you Matt. Do what you have to to keep you and yours safe, and sane. Much love from southwest Michigan!
The family insight of the channel is the reason I watched. You and your family are an inspiration. Unfortunately other people had to ruin it. I hope yall find the piece you are looking for
I didn't even know he lost a piece of something? Is it a piece to a gun? Hopefully he will find peace once he finds the piece of whatever he is missing.
I am so sorry for Mere and for her passion project. As a mom and a wife and married to a person with such a big personality, I can see why she loved her special project. Plus, the products are amazing, I bought them for my teenage daughter who is a dancer and the quality can't be beat. I hope Mere finds a way to come back and share this with us again...even if it's under an alias after the kids are all grown up. God bless the Carriker family.
I’m sorry that your family is dealing with that .. But I can’t help but think how silly someone would have to be to hop your driveway gate, knowing that you have probably one of the coolest firearm collections just really blows my mind.. pray that y’all are safe and happy . Demolition ranch fan !!
For those of us who have watched for a while… we may not understand the trials of having a parasocial relationship with so many people, BUT many of us are fathers and husbands and understand that security is a concern. You’re doing good brother, keep going.
Hey sorry to hear about all the drama Matt, glad you're taking a stand and hope Mere finds something else to pour her passion into even if its not in the public view. You protect your family first and give us content second, nothing and I mean nothing is more important than your family's safety.
The moment I saw you becoming more and more open to people coming over to the building or the idea of the range, I knew it would end like this. Can never have anything good.
This exactly what happened to Chris Kyle. He trusted a POS and unfortunately lost his life because of it. Anonymity is the #1 prerequisite to privacy! Good for him!
@danilonakazone386 He's the beast of a 160+ confirmed kills. Navy Seal, whose movie, American Sniper, was based on. If ya haven't seen it, I highly suggest you do.
@@KL4life That's not exactly what happened to Chris Kyle, he knew the guy was trouble, but thought he could help him. it came specifically out of Kyle's work with veterans, it wasn't some random guy approaching him and asking if they could go to the range.
Protection of your wife, kids and yourself, your FAMILY. That's always your number 1 priority Matt. You've literally brought all of us subscribers 'into your home' literally letting us see your life. Hell that range day shooting video was awesome. You have helped and had so many people to your place and participate with so many different things. It truly is sad and pathetic that those 1 in a 1000 can't behave like a normal person with normal etiquette and proper manners. Absolutely no respect. The first thing they do is disregard you privacy, therefore IMO they all have bad or nefarious things on their mind. No regular normal person trespasses and jumps your gate for a 'job' All of us reg subs and viewers are here for you no matter what and will continue to support you and your videos, regardless. I wish the best for you and your family, Matt.
Been watching you since I was in middle school and I'm a 21-year-old man now. Loved watching you and your family grow as people and spread love and positivity throughout this platform. I hate that this has happened to y'all and prayers go out to you❤
time is weird. for you that seems like a looong ass time. when you get in your 30's and on its like no time passed at all. you'll hear teens talk about "back in the day" referring to a year ago and laugh.
As someone who is still young and recently married, youve given a lot of silent life advice in the last few months. And given me a lot to think about for how I want to handle the future of my family. Thanks, and fair enough!
Matt, what a great man you are. I can see this is bitter sweet but absolutely the right thing to do. Its the end of one era but the beginning of a new one that will hopefully bring more joy and satisfaction to Mere and to your family. Lots of crazies out there we know, the ones that forget about respecting your privacy need to be dealt with. Glad you shared what was up. I was a little worried because I haven't seen them in a long time. I know the way kids grow they are growing up fast too!
Mere and the kids have been one of my favourite parts of this channel and it's a shame that this is how it has ended up, I sympathise with your situation and think this is 100% the right move. Thank you all for the great videos you've been a part of and I hope things get better from here
@@mdjones34imagine even thinking “going to miss seeing your family grow” your a weirdo 😂 if you ain’t here for Matt and what he does then your a weirdo.
@@BigKekeDude his family has been part of the channel for what a decade or something and you think nobody is going to miss that? I may not be interested and you obviously weren't but to think that other families, or I would imagine his large female fan base, aren't is just foolish. I respect his decision as a man to protect his family, just like the person that you tried and failed to call out, but I'm also a realist.
@@rigrmortis3393 he has to protect his family now because all you weirdos keep saying you miss people you have no relation too and keep trying to show up at their house. Bunch of weirdos and stalkers it’s actually sad. This started as a channel for him to post vet stuff, it was never a family channel he just liked posting stuff for the fun of it. Then all you people get way too emotionally invested and now this happens. Anyone who misses a UA-camrs child when they aren’t in videos clearly doesn’t have a family and see how weird that is.
@@BigKekeComplete lack of reading comprehension, no substance to your point, ignores facts presented and an over reliance on insults to the point of sounding like a child. So you're a troll; gotcha I no longer need to waste my time with you.
I’ve been watching you guys for years now and I’m happy I got to watch you and your family grow. I’m sorry for the crazy people but I understand you need to do what you have to do. As a man with two kiddos I would be also doing the same thing so I get it. I am extremely grateful for the years I got to watch y’all be an awesome upbeat and happy family. Best of luck to your family and I hope you guys all find peace from the crazy’s with this change :)
Totally understand, the safety of your family is top priority . Being they have the nerve to climb over your fence to come up to your home is a stupid move . Wish you both the best and keep your family safe .
Hey Matt, I’ve loved the content and seeing your wholesome family for about 7 -8 years. I’m sure this is hard but I believe you’re making the right decision to protect your family. We love you man, God Bless.
Hey Matt I’ve been watching yall for over a decade, and I just wanna say I’m so happy that I have been able to follow you on your journey. I have nothing but respect for you and your family. and there is a bunch of sick people out there that don’t know boundaries.

Hey Matt, Louisiana here, neighbor, I'm a 65-year-old grandma I love watching you you have a wonderful family you and your wife are doing the absolute right thing!!! But I do love watching you all I'm just a widow and bored and I go through everything and if I like it I watch it more than once LOL. Absolutely do not trust no one I have a 12 year old granddaughter and I preach to her constantly. Anyway say hello for me take care of yourselves and I will catch you on the on the tube. Take care of yourself and the family.❤ You are cool dude. And your wife is beautiful and and I know you'll always put your family first;! Love you love to watch you bye buddy neighbor
I respect it bro you put in enough work ! Thank you for all the great VIDEOS AND FUN MEMORIES SHARED ! Wishing you and your family nothing but health and wealth !
You put your personal life and family out on the Internet constantly and bad things are gonna happen. You’re right - it shouldn’t happen but don’t be surprised when it does in this day and age.
Been watching your videos for serval years. I’m sorry that you have had experiences. You are being a good husband and father. Very proud to be apart of this community! God bless you guys!
You do you bud, theres always some bad apples out there. Family comes first everytime!! as one of the 999, thank you and your family for all of the content in the past. I will always continue to be a subscriber on all of your channels. My family loves your content! Stay safe out there brother!!
@@timthetiny7538You seriously think he wouldn't protect his family if he thought they was in danger, yeah right, i would and im sure to hell he would.
Really sad to hear. My lincactive shorts are my favorites. They got me through my first 5k, all the way through training and running my first marathon. They’ll stick with me for many more races ❤ But family first, do what feels best for you guys, we will always be here to support you!
I feel the same way. I purchased Linc Active pieces when I was in a bad place and really wanted to turn things around. I've lost 60 pounds and done several 10k's. Thank you to Mere for the inspiration!
I discovered your UA-cam channel back in 2020 when you starting your Abandoned Mansion series. It was wonderful and it helped me get through a lot of the covid lockdowns. Since then, I have very much enjoyed your videos, but I have to say, in the beginning, I was a bit surprised at how much you put your family out there.
Matt, I got an email reply from you requesting we talk privately on Te-legram. I'm not familiar with that app. A search didn't return anything with that spelling. Also, your reply didn't some up on "this" conversation and that makes me suspicious. From what I know of you, I think I would trust you as far as I'd trust anyone I've never personally met before but I'm going to need a bit more information on how to initiate this contact.
Wishing you guys the best. There is a reason why we really should not be envious of anyone with a serious degree of celebrity. It's a different journey, but still full of crazy life things to deal with.
Matt, you have a great show and family. You are one of the only channels I allow my kids to watch.. I wanted to thank you for helping me explain to my kids why I won't let them post any videos.
The absolute reach this channel has had and not only that…but getting random people in arguably the tens of thousands to get into the 2A lifestyle is great. Wish your family the best
Matt you have to do what is best for the family, and if that means we don’t see them, that is fine. As long as you all are safe and happy, that’s all that matters. Sending love and bear hugs to you all.
Huge respect for how you are responding to this situation. Can not imagine having to deal with this kind of situation. Sad to see link active go but keeping the family first is definitely most important.
“She is definitely not locked up in my basement and I’ll never let her leave me” Best exit for this sad video. Matt, Mere, and family. From my family to yours. We love you and God bless!!! Don’t forget when push comes to shove, we the demolisha are here and to ready to pick up arms to come to aid.
I don't think you got the whole message from the video. The _last_ thing Matt wants is more stans showing up "to come to aid," or whatever... *armed* no less.
The moment I noticed the family not in the vlogs as much I knew. Unfortunately the internet is a thing and some people on it are absolute creeps. You made the right choice!
I know of a number of UA-cam families that have had to curb their filming and videos because some people just are so entitled that they think they somehow own you or that you owe them something. Nothing is more important that your family and keeping them safe. Worst case scenario is that you go back to being a full-time vet. I love your family and videos. Keep them coming. Cannot wait to see the resort completed.❤❤❤😊😊😊
@n10tkey1, I'm sorry. That was not meant as a diss to being a vet. I think it sort of became a joke that Matt preferred to do his side business of Demolition Ranch over being a vet. Of course those of us that watch Vet Ranch miss him over there in spite of the fact that the other doctors are doing just fine.
Very smart choice!!!!!! Always wondered about showing SOOOO much of the family.... Always liked the channel and will continue to like it. Family first!
Sad to see her and her dream go, but completely reasonable to see your family safe. I've ordered Linc Active for family members in the past and they love it. Much love for your family.
I'm in Australia and have been watching you, and all your different UA-cam channels, from pretty much the beginning. Seeing what you've accomplished over the years is mind blowing. Totally understandable for Mere doing what she needs to do to feel safe, nobody should have to deal with people like that.
I'm sure you probably talked about this, but why not just rebrand it to bunker branding and continue selling it? If she just wants to retire or just handle things behind the scenes that's one thing, but you made it sound like she really enjoyed it and that would be one way you could keep it going without putting the rest of the family in the limelight
I hope you and the family find peace again. For all of the laughs and joy that you have brought, its sad that you cannot enjoy the same in return. Its sad for you and its sad for the community as a whole. Stay safe guys.
Loved your adventures and videos! Watching your hard work and success is inspiring. Thank you for your determination and undertaking of that mansion on the hill. May your futures continue to be bright and full of Blessings!
This is such a dark day for the Demolitia.. I know this was never supposed to be a family channel but that's what it turned into and now that it's going away it's hard not to feel like we're losing a friend. Meres such a good person and I hope she finds happiness and peace going forward.
I’m so glad!!! I thought for a moment that maybe the relationship was over, and even though it was none of my business, it would have saddened me a bit! You guys are the American dream, and growing up watching your videos gave me inspiration for a better life and great marriage! God bless the Carrikers!
There are folks out there that really have no understanding of personal boundaries. As a husband and father, I completely understand the desire to make sure your family feels safe and secure in whatever you do. Your priorities are in the right place.
I havnt been subbed for a few years. Im glad the algorithm brought me back to you though. I'm so sorry people are causing your family problems. I hope everyone stays safe
I’m sorry this has happened Matt I’ve been following since the purchase of the mansion I enjoy seeing your life thanks for letting us in for the time we shared. ❤

I truly think he’s just trying to show us normal loving fans respect❤
💯
You don't have to assume that people don't understand boundaries, it has been proven that some people don't understand boundaries
Ive been watching since the Vet days! First you are a husband and a father. It is your job to make decisions to protect your family. You are doing a great job. Dont let the crazies rule your life. ❤❤
Fondest memory was the lady who thought her cat gave birth to a litter of kittens and it turned out they were mice lol
Me to!
He lost his vet license by trying to perform surgery on his wife. The judge said dog surgery and human surgery aren't the same. He is out on bail and will most likely go to prison. His wife lost the use of one of her legs because of him. That is why she will no longer appear in videos. Neither will he once he is locked up.
@@johnjacob1412 yeah okayyyyyyyy buddy 😂
@@johnjacob1412 his license was cancelled meaning he didn’t renew, wasn’t revoked or suspended nice try troll.
This what being a real husband and father looks like! Respect Matt!
Why? It wasn't his decision, she wanted more privacy and to shut HER clothing brand down. He didn't really have a choice.
@AndrewPL5 they obviously work together as a unit so she definitely was talking it out with Matt because it's his company supporting it after all
@@AndrewPL5 he’s the head of the household. He always has a choice. Plus, his company is the one who backed her company and supported it (financially, warehouse space, etc). Let alone the fact that his UA-cam channels, which he started and developed into millions of subscribers, is the one that promoted her company and gave it reach to large amounts of people.
@@josiahkahkonen2307 imagine having such an outdated view thinking only the man is head of household. She is a person with wants and needs, and she decided what she wanted and did it. It wasn't up to him and he didn't have a choice. He of course helped her, but it was happening with or without him. And you're right, it's his youtube channel, and she decided she didn't want to be on it or her kids
@@AndrewPL5 I’m a Christian, I follow the example of the biblical family setup, as Matt seems to do as well!
Whatever the reason you’re making the right choice.
Tank you all, everyone involved for amazing content.
You are a great man for wanting to and doing your best to protect your loved ones.
As much as I loved seeing Mere and the kids on the channels, I fully understand your decisions and am glad that you guys made the call to put some distance between your family and the internet. Keeping them safe is more important than the entertainment of a bunch of internet denizens, and even more than continuing a passion project.
It's tough to turn your back on something that you've put a lot of work and passion into, but at the end of the day, choosing to protect your family is definitely the right call. We nine hundred and ninety nine normal, reasonable viewers will still be thinking about them and wishing them well even without seeing them in videos 😊
This is the most nuanced and adult view on the negative sides of a social media presence I have seen. You guys' decision is understandable and although your great family dynamics made for wholesome and entertaining videos, you are doing the right thing. Ones family needs to be safe and sometimes that takes sacrifice.
I'll still be a, mostly, silent enjoyer of your content and am looking forward to all the other crazy projects you have planned in the future.
This is why we can't have nice things people! Sorry for the bad apples out there. Love your stuff, keep it up.
That’s exactly what I was thinking but didn’t know how to word it. 👍🏼
Chances are that sales just weren't what they were hoping for and they needed an excuse to exit.
I don't blame you one bit, your family has to come first. It's unfortunate that all that work that was put into your wifes business ended this way because of a few jerks...
Sorry for what you n your family are going through! You do what you need to do to protect your family! They always come first, God Bless!
We will miss Mer and the kids but you have to protect your family. I’ve always loved you guys
💯 stand by this, years ago I left you a comment saying you were brave for posting your family. Anyone who doesn’t support this is the problem
💯 there's way to many creeps in this crazy world
💯
110% feel you on this. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of negative people out there that hide behind comments. Love and support the Demolition Ranch Family, keep up the awesome work!!🙏🙏🙌🙌
Why people are watching this? Why is anyone interested in this guy and his daily life?
@@unnamed47 I was curious why this channel has so many followers. All I see is some guy doing some ordinary stuff.

@sxsx5951 usually personality makes his content entertaining and the sense of humor he delivers with the informative content, hope that answers your question.
@@sxsx5951 you do realize he has other channels right?
I’m sorry for your troubles, and fully respect your decision to pull back a little. You have to do what’s best for your family because family comes first. I’m proud of you and your lady for everything you’ve done.
I have been watching this channel since I was a kid, and now I’m a senior about to graduate college. I still remember all the way back to the two deers fighting in your old back yard. I’m sorry it has come to this but you must protect your family. I wish you and your family the best, I hope one day I can come out to the ranch and have some fun on the range. God bless
same bro
Still a kid 😂
As a husband and father, just like you, I would do the same thing. Your family comes first and no one will be mad at you and your family for doing what you all feel is necessary. God Bless you all for doing what you all do.
UA-camrs also lie to manipulate a situation. Romanatwood did this. Syndicate. DDE. Its a stunt.
They're pushing cheap Chinese products
Spoke my mind ❤

All good Matt 👍 completely understand. Love you and your fam; keep em safe 💯
i've been watching your videos for what it feels like 15 years and there was always that itch of worry about how open you were with your life and family but that also was the thing making you more real to us. i was glad when you decided to keep the kids out, and now I'm glad your keeping your whole family out, ofc it's sad but a dad's gotta protect !
Family is Priority #1 no matter what!!!
Protect them at all costs!!
Thanks for being honest and continuing to post great content!
*ALL YA GOTTA DO IS *STOP MAKING VIDEOS*
You guys have always been super down to earth and real with your audience and that’s why I’ve always stuck around throughout years ! Definitely respect your choice and you’re W dad/husband for protecting your family 💪🏽
Smart Decision. Too many crazies in the World. This old man wishes you and your family all the best. Always put your family first!!
Matt, you've basically made us a part of you're family for years, heck "invited" us into your home and when you're in another mans house you play by his rules. People have no respect.
I have been watching matt since he was microwaving Glocks I feel the same
@@mississippidrifter5960 those were the days.
I understand waiting to protect the family. It's totally cool by me
It's just the few weird psychos that end up ruining things as usual. They have made Matt and his family feel unsafe. How can people that do this sort of thing really think it is a good idea or is acceptable? What do they think Matt is going to do when they find his house, jump the gate and knock on the door uninvited?
What happened
I remember your first video talking about the issues people have been giving you and your family a couple of months back and I'm still 100% behind you Matt. Do what you have to to keep you and yours safe, and sane.
Much love from southwest Michigan!
The family insight of the channel is the reason I watched. You and your family are an inspiration. Unfortunately other people had to ruin it. I hope yall find the piece you are looking for
I didn't even know he lost a piece of something? Is it a piece to a gun? Hopefully he will find peace once he finds the piece of whatever he is missing.
@@johnjacob1412😂
From what I understand, they are keeping all of their pieces.
Don't be afraid to quit UA-cam. Family is more important.
I am so sorry for Mere and for her passion project. As a mom and a wife and married to a person with such a big personality, I can see why she loved her special project. Plus, the products are amazing, I bought them for my teenage daughter who is a dancer and the quality can't be beat. I hope Mere finds a way to come back and share this with us again...even if it's under an alias after the kids are all grown up. God bless the Carriker family.
That's not a bad idea, actually. Rebrand with a shell company based in Delaware once things cool down.
I’m sorry that your family is dealing with that ..
But I can’t help but think how silly someone would have to be to hop your driveway gate, knowing that you have probably one of the coolest firearm collections just really blows my mind.. pray that y’all are safe and happy .
Demolition ranch fan !!
It's kind of insulting that he thinks we are this dumb tho.
@@bennypit4411 what could you possibly mean by that?
"Let's trespass on a gun collector's property, what could go wrong?" famous last words
@@huehuehue-x3cHe means the reasons in the video is a lie. Im leaning towards 50% is a lie.
@@danstray2527 Yeah, probably a two birds one stone type of thing. Covers optics on closing business which may have been unprofitable.
For those of us who have watched for a while… we may not understand the trials of having a parasocial relationship with so many people, BUT many of us are fathers and husbands and understand that security is a concern. You’re doing good brother, keep going.
Hey sorry to hear about all the drama Matt, glad you're taking a stand and hope Mere finds something else to pour her passion into even if its not in the public view. You protect your family first and give us content second, nothing and I mean nothing is more important than your family's safety.
The moment I saw you becoming more and more open to people coming over to the building or the idea of the range, I knew it would end like this. Can never have anything good.
This exactly what happened to Chris Kyle. He trusted a POS and unfortunately lost his life because of it. Anonymity is the #1 prerequisite to privacy! Good for him!
@@KL4life Who Is Chris Kyle? A stalker murdered him?
@danilonakazone386 He's the beast of a 160+ confirmed kills. Navy Seal, whose movie, American Sniper, was based on. If ya haven't seen it, I highly suggest you do.
yep its what happened to selena as well... trusted a fan and got shot for it
@@KL4life That's not exactly what happened to Chris Kyle, he knew the guy was trouble, but thought he could help him. it came specifically out of Kyle's work with veterans, it wasn't some random guy approaching him and asking if they could go to the range.
Protection of your wife, kids and yourself, your FAMILY. That's always your number 1 priority Matt.
You've literally brought all of us subscribers 'into your home' literally letting us see your life. Hell that range day shooting video was awesome. You have helped and had so many people to your place and participate with so many different things.
It truly is sad and pathetic that those 1 in a 1000 can't behave like a normal person with normal etiquette and proper manners. Absolutely no respect. The first thing they do is disregard you privacy, therefore IMO they all have bad or nefarious things on their mind. No regular normal person trespasses and jumps your gate for a 'job'
All of us reg subs and viewers are here for you no matter what and will continue to support you and your videos, regardless. I wish the best for you and your family, Matt.
Ex wife
Been watching you since I was in middle school and I'm a 21-year-old man now. Loved watching you and your family grow as people and spread love and positivity throughout this platform. I hate that this has happened to y'all and prayers go out to you❤
You beat me there guy.
I think I have on an off been watching since 2018? 2017?
It's been a nice ride.
time is weird. for you that seems like a looong ass time. when you get in your 30's and on its like no time passed at all. you'll hear teens talk about "back in the day" referring to a year ago and laugh.
You are still a boy my friend... when your 30/35 youll look back and say the same
@@Visvangmeneerthat’s for damn sure
Really glad to hear about you and your wife together, keep it coming buddy. PS sorry about the weird people!!!!!!!!!! FROM CANADA
As someone who is still young and recently married, youve given a lot of silent life advice in the last few months. And given me a lot to think about for how I want to handle the future of my family.
Thanks, and fair enough!
Matt, what a great man you are. I can see this is bitter sweet but absolutely the right thing to do. Its the end of one era but the beginning of a new one that will hopefully bring more joy and satisfaction to Mere and to your family. Lots of crazies out there we know, the ones that forget about respecting your privacy need to be dealt with. Glad you shared what was up. I was a little worried because I haven't seen them in a long time. I know the way kids grow they are growing up fast too!
Mere and the kids have been one of my favourite parts of this channel and it's a shame that this is how it has ended up, I sympathise with your situation and think this is 100% the right move.
Thank you all for the great videos you've been a part of and I hope things get better from here
Completely agree! Going to miss seeing your family grow, but it's definitely the right decision.
@@mdjones34imagine even thinking “going to miss seeing your family grow” your a weirdo 😂 if you ain’t here for Matt and what he does then your a weirdo.
@@BigKekeDude his family has been part of the channel for what a decade or something and you think nobody is going to miss that? I may not be interested and you obviously weren't but to think that other families, or I would imagine his large female fan base, aren't is just foolish. I respect his decision as a man to protect his family, just like the person that you tried and failed to call out, but I'm also a realist.
@@rigrmortis3393 he has to protect his family now because all you weirdos keep saying you miss people you have no relation too and keep trying to show up at their house. Bunch of weirdos and stalkers it’s actually sad. This started as a channel for him to post vet stuff, it was never a family channel he just liked posting stuff for the fun of it. Then all you people get way too emotionally invested and now this happens. Anyone who misses a UA-camrs child when they aren’t in videos clearly doesn’t have a family and see how weird that is.
@@BigKekeComplete lack of reading comprehension, no substance to your point, ignores facts presented and an over reliance on insults to the point of sounding like a child. So you're a troll; gotcha I no longer need to waste my time with you.
I respect your decision Matt and I think the stuff you do is great.
I’ve been watching you guys for years now and I’m happy I got to watch you and your family grow. I’m sorry for the crazy people but I understand you need to do what you have to do. As a man with two kiddos I would be also doing the same thing so I get it. I am extremely grateful for the years I got to watch y’all be an awesome upbeat and happy family. Best of luck to your family and I hope you guys all find peace from the crazy’s with this change :)
Totally understand, the safety of your family is top priority . Being they have the nerve to climb over your fence to come up to your home is a stupid move . Wish you both the best and keep your family safe .
Hey Matt, I’ve loved the content and seeing your wholesome family for about 7 -8 years. I’m sure this is hard but I believe you’re making the right decision to protect your family.
We love you man, God Bless.
God bless you and your family, Matt. Keep you and your family safe. We got your 6.
Hey Matt I’ve been watching yall for over a decade, and I just wanna say I’m so happy that I have been able to follow you on your journey. I have nothing but respect for you and your family. and there is a bunch of sick people out there that don’t know boundaries.

But I do love watching you all I'm just a widow and bored and I go through everything and if I like it I watch it more than once LOL. Absolutely do not trust no one I have a 12 year old granddaughter and I preach to her constantly. Anyway say hello for me take care of yourselves and I will catch you on the on the tube. Take care of yourself and the family.❤ You are cool dude. And your wife is beautiful and and I know you'll always put your family first;! Love you love to watch you bye buddy neighbor
I respect it bro you put in enough work ! Thank you for all the great VIDEOS AND FUN MEMORIES SHARED ! Wishing you and your family nothing but health and wealth !
You put your personal life and family out on the Internet constantly and bad things are gonna happen.
You’re right - it shouldn’t happen but don’t be surprised when it does in this day and age.
Thank you for standing up and doing the right thing. Be strong and know there are good people supporting you.
Been watching your videos for serval years. I’m sorry that you have had experiences. You are being a good husband and father. Very proud to be apart of this community! God bless you guys!
You do you bud, theres always some bad apples out there. Family comes first everytime!! as one of the 999, thank you and your family for all of the content in the past. I will always continue to be a subscriber on all of your channels. My family loves your content! Stay safe out there brother!!
well said
You are doing the right thing, Matt! I stand behind you, put your family first.

He definitely can use them 😂

@bradleylillard3656 he likely lacks the will to actually use them, was more what I meant
@@timthetiny7538You seriously think he wouldn't protect his family if he thought they was in danger, yeah right, i would and im sure to hell he would.
Really sad to hear. My lincactive shorts are my favorites. They got me through my first 5k, all the way through training and running my first marathon. They’ll stick with me for many more races ❤ But family first, do what feels best for you guys, we will always be here to support you!
I feel the same way. I purchased Linc Active pieces when I was in a bad place and really wanted to turn things around. I've lost 60 pounds and done several 10k's. Thank you to Mere for the inspiration!
I discovered your UA-cam channel back in 2020 when you starting your Abandoned Mansion series. It was wonderful and it helped me get through a lot of the covid lockdowns. Since then, I have very much enjoyed your videos, but I have to say, in the beginning, I was a bit surprised at how much you put your family out there.
Matt, I got an email reply from you requesting we talk privately on Te-legram. I'm not familiar with that app. A search didn't return anything with that spelling. Also, your reply didn't some up on "this" conversation and that makes me suspicious. From what I know of you, I think I would trust you as far as I'd trust anyone I've never personally met before but I'm going to need a bit more information on how to initiate this contact.
You’ve been an inspiration since I was a kid, I’m happy for your decision.
Wishing you guys the best. There is a reason why we really should not be envious of anyone with a serious degree of celebrity. It's a different journey, but still full of crazy life things to deal with.
Matt, you have a great show and family. You are one of the only channels I allow my kids to watch.. I wanted to thank you for helping me explain to my kids why I won't let them post any videos.
As a husband and father, you're handling this all a lot better than I would. So good for you!
Blessings to you and your family brother. Do what you have to. Always support you from Canada.
The absolute reach this channel has had and not only that…but getting random people in arguably the tens of thousands to get into the 2A lifestyle is great. Wish your family the best
Matt you have to do what is best for the family, and if that means we don’t see them, that is fine. As long as you all are safe and happy, that’s all that matters. Sending love and bear hugs to you all.
Huge respect for how you are responding to this situation. Can not imagine having to deal with this kind of situation. Sad to see link active go but keeping the family first is definitely most important.
Family first. I'm glad your calibrating. I hope everything has been going well. Nothing but love!
“She is definitely not locked up in my basement and I’ll never let her leave me”
Best exit for this sad video. Matt, Mere, and family. From my family to yours. We love you and God bless!!!
Don’t forget when push comes to shove, we the demolisha are here and to ready to pick up arms to come to aid.
I don't think you got the whole message from the video. The _last_ thing Matt wants is more stans showing up "to come to aid," or whatever... *armed* no less.
The moment I noticed the family not in the vlogs as much I knew. Unfortunately the internet is a thing and some people on it are absolute creeps. You made the right choice!
I know of a number of UA-cam families that have had to curb their filming and videos because some people just are so entitled that they think they somehow own you or that you owe them something. Nothing is more important that your family and keeping them safe. Worst case scenario is that you go back to being a full-time vet. I love your family and videos. Keep them coming. Cannot wait to see the resort completed.❤❤❤😊😊😊
I'm one of the 999 be hind you guys so sorry this is happening to you and your family
Being a vet doesn't deserve to be called the "worst-case scenario"
gonna miss them but you’re doing the right thing
@n10tkey1, I'm sorry. That was not meant as a diss to being a vet. I think it sort of became a joke that Matt preferred to do his side business of Demolition Ranch over being a vet. Of course those of us that watch Vet Ranch miss him over there in spite of the fact that the other doctors are doing just fine.
This dude is so chill I wish him the best
Very smart choice!!!!!! Always wondered about showing SOOOO much of the family.... Always liked the channel and will continue to like it. Family first!
Sad to see her and her dream go, but completely reasonable to see your family safe. I've ordered Linc Active for family members in the past and they love it. Much love for your family.
I'm in Australia and have been watching you, and all your different UA-cam channels, from pretty much the beginning. Seeing what you've accomplished over the years is mind blowing. Totally understandable for Mere doing what she needs to do to feel safe, nobody should have to deal with people like that.
Man this man is the coolest UA-camr why bother him bro just so you know didn’t realize I wasn’t subscribed
Open and honest as usual, please keep your own stuff going. I hope that your family recover from this and their life returns to normal.
I'm sure you probably talked about this, but why not just rebrand it to bunker branding and continue selling it? If she just wants to retire or just handle things behind the scenes that's one thing, but you made it sound like she really enjoyed it and that would be one way you could keep it going without putting the rest of the family in the limelight
I hope you and the family find peace again. For all of the laughs and joy that you have brought, its sad that you cannot enjoy the same in return. Its sad for you and its sad for the community as a whole. Stay safe guys.
Exactly! So many people don't understand why this is happening and are making light of these experiences.
Loved your adventures and videos! Watching your hard work and success is inspiring. Thank you for your determination and undertaking of that mansion on the hill. May your futures continue to be bright and full of Blessings!
This is such a dark day for the Demolitia.. I know this was never supposed to be a family channel but that's what it turned into and now that it's going away it's hard not to feel like we're losing a friend. Meres such a good person and I hope she finds happiness and peace going forward.
Totally understand man, praying for you guys, God bless you
I’m so glad!!! I thought for a moment that maybe the relationship was over, and even though it was none of my business, it would have saddened me a bit! You guys are the American dream, and growing up watching your videos gave me inspiration for a better life and great marriage! God bless the Carrikers!
There are folks out there that really have no understanding of personal boundaries. As a husband and father, I completely understand the desire to make sure your family feels safe and secure in whatever you do. Your priorities are in the right place.
I havnt been subbed for a few years. Im glad the algorithm brought me back to you though. I'm so sorry people are causing your family problems. I hope everyone stays safe
