    Diego, You are the most engaging guy. So humble and diffident, and you have no idea how charming you are. I'm pretty certain that you will be successful. I can't wait to follow along.

    I’m honored to call you friend, Diego.
    Love this story. Learned a lot about you that I didn’t know originally. Watching this got me all super nostalgic about what we did together for families all over the world. Super excited to see where you take things in the future on this channel. The music at the end of the video brought back a lot of memories of conversations we had about the first videos you edited for us. You were always an incredible listener, and the music you came up with for that series was right on point for what I was trying to accomplish. Just one small example of the many things that you did that were on point.
    Love you Agent Strong Man! 😉

    I would rather watch this life story than any made up one on tv. I’m glad the algorithm showed me your channel. P.S I live in Woodland wa so we’re pretty much neighbors.

    The title of your channel says it all, Diego. You do try hard and it shows in your videos. Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing your story. 👍🏻

    Outstanding video man. I love the way you tell your story. This was great. So glad you are getting some traction and I pray it only escalates for you! One request, I know the family genre isn't what you are focusing on, but alot of kids are interested in the work you do. From tractors to plumbing. My 7 year old loves watching alot of your videos that you wouldn't think kids would like. Just be mindful of the language. There aren't many safe places kids and families can go. You can leave that door open and gain that share of the audience with no special effort, just be careful you don't do uneeded things that close the door. On my hunting channel, I've learned that 4 letter words gain 0 views, but they will turn away certain segments of the audience. There's nothing to gain. We love the work you are doing and I how things explode for, enabling to fund bigger and bigger videos. 🎉🎉🎉 go get em bro!

    I stumbled upon your channel a couple of months ago. My favorite channels are people showing the random projects and things they do. Funny enough they're often the same things my husband and I do, I guess it's entertaining watching others do it. 😆 Your videos are now in my nightly wind down time where I watch UA-cam before bed. I appreciate your values and viewpoints you've shared as well. We share similar values. I'm also into health and fitness so I enjoy all of your content. Keep making videos. The first channel I ever subscribed to is a couple that sold their house, quit their jobs and moved from Oregon to Alaska and started filming their projects, day to day life, and hobbies and they do UA-cam full time. They now have 739,000 subscribers. Go Diego! We're here for it.

    Hey Diego, this story sounds somewhat familiar. One of our children finished college and moved straight up to Washington. It took several years and now she has built a life for herself. You have such strong skills and I know you will find what the next steps are. I have seen several people on UA-cam start out slow and within a few months start to add interesting content, I am convinced that your numbers will grow faster than you think. Keep on going, you have this!

    Diego that is fascinating. I wish more youtubers would do a personal biography. You are very well spoken! But one suggestion if you do further videos, make the lighting (when you're in front of the fireplace) a little lighter.

    Hey Diego, I just started watching your videos. I stay up way too late going back on some of them. What caught my eye was you splitting shingles and getting cedar blocks for them with your neighbor. My arms hurt just watching you. I did a lot of wood cutting in my youth. Age catches up with you while I love cutting and splitting it's hard on the body and I can't do much of it anymore. I love your ingenuity, where you are homesteading and how you work with people. I plan to retire in TN and own acreage. I've always wanted space and more rural life. It's so beautiful where your off grid house is it makes me think of my near future when I can retire and make the move. Keep it up bud. I'm watching.

I think I just didn't make some decisions soon enough to really have much of a shot at my dreams. I may have waited too long and not stayed focused. Good for you!! I am glad you're doing so well. I have very tiny business making Custom Teardrop (off-road style) campers... but it seems like the timing is always wrong, and it's never gonna leave the ground. I keep trying, but never quite get traction. Your story is inspiring. Keep going!!

    I wanted to live in the forest since I was a kid. Unfortunately in Europe where I live it's something almost forbidden, either because you cannot build a cabin in the woods or you'd need thousand of permissions and the cost of land is crazy. I'm a bit jealous of you or Al, living in nature is kind of magic, you dont know how lucky you are.
