Quick Update (I'm Drying Out) #pacificnorthwest No diving for me... Hopefully I'll be back at it soon but time will tell. Thanks for the patients and ongoing support. Much appreciated!
Yeah no worries! Happy to pay it forward. So much to see while snorkeling, especially around the west coast. I even enjoy snorkeling around the mudflats in Tsawwassen around Boundary bay.
thanks for the update. I've been neglecting my channel too. When life gets too hectic something's gotta give. Also when I did my taxes the government took half my UA-cam revenue because it's foreign income and that kind of sucked. Not like I do UA-cam for money, but I always thoght it would pay for the video gear at least.
That sucks, I'm surprised I would have thought if you classified it as either a freelance income or a business income you would have less tax? P.S. I subscribed to your channel it looks like it has great videos, I feel like so many channels like yours and Samson's should be way more popular. The content they provide is really useful, educational, and people learn something, not just clickbaity entertainment.
Yeah, same Petr. I don't do it for the money. I'd just get a second job if that was the case haha. That's a drag though, I figured we could write off all our expenses and keep everything. I need to figure all that out eventually, I've been neglecting my UA-cam income as it's no minimal and I spend much more than I earn back. I guess I'll see what happens. And I appreciate that Seth! My content is pretty niche, I don't expect people to be watching PNW spearfishing/freediving content in the same volume as some of the other channels out there. I don't sweat it! Cheers.
Man no need for explanation your #LEGEND #INSPIRATIONAL #OCEANIC I was in victoria recently. I tried to get out to get to get something, but sometimes life and adulting have other plans
No worries Chris, life gets busy & you gotta put yourself first. When you hit the water again let me know, excited to dive/watch your dive adventures when you're ready 👍🏻
Totally true man. Unfortunately, I've been neglecting them too. Too much house work and weekends don't give me a lot of time to get everything done. I'm basically grinding from 7am to 8:30pm aha.
Wow! How did i not see this?? Yes its been quiet, but you did let us know, unlike kyler and sam who just stop producing stuff. Life does keep rolling, especially here in P-ville lol
@@PNWSamson I honestly don't know how I'd be able to do it, unless I just dedicated my full time recording, editing, and producing content, but I'd have to be rich, in which many big youtubers were before starting, and/or have a huge following, to garner the pay from UA-cam.
Hey Chris! Just discovered your channel! It’s awesome. Glad to see you and your family are doing so well. The very best regards from former Rivers Reach Nieghbour and colleague Safety Dan. Love to have a chat! Cheers!
Yeah man, damn priorities! Oh nice man! I'm excited to try it out. I hate learning curves though haha. They hooked up a housing too so I think I'm set!
@@PNWSamson once you figure out the key frames this will be the camera. You will never miss the shot. On top of that with the 8k it's pretty amazing. I love that you can do footage for the vr head set. Excited to see what you come up with!
I’m from Cowichan bay and used to dive.
My goal this summer is to do more snorkelling thanks to your videos -thanks

No way Dan! Cool. I had always wondered how you were doing. Shoot me an email spearosamson@gmail.com. Hope all is well on your end!
Ah the balance of famly work and fun. You are going to love the 360 camera I got the same one you will need a dive case if you plan to dive with that!
Yeah man, damn priorities! Oh nice man! I'm excited to try it out. I hate learning curves though haha. They hooked up a housing too so I think I'm set!

Home/work/play Ballance is very hard especially with little monsters keep up the good work.
Yeah man, and only being home two days a week haha. I can't even do shit after work which is a drag. I'm getting there though!
Walls looking good man! Good time of year to take of business. Dive soon
Thanks dude! Installed the stairs last weekend. Almost done!
Going tank diving in Monterey this weekend. Looking to hopefully get into some halibut.
Lucky dude that sounds amazing. I wish you luck!
Life and work defiantly can keep you away from the things we all love to do. Keep the drive alive. Love the videos.
Thanks and yeah, it's the unfortunate truth. Hopefully I'll find some free time soon. Feels good to get some work done though.
