Just keep doing what you are doing. To me, that's what makes you authentic and palatable.. Chasing views and sponsors is what kills channels, in my opinion, and I just lose interest in that mentality.. This is a wholesome channel that I can enjoy with my 8 and 9 year old kids, and I hope it remains that way.
Was gonna say exactly this. Most people imo don’t follow channels like yours for specific projects- we just love your attitude/personality and want to keep watching
The funny thing about your channel Neil, is that your projects bring us here, but we stay because you and your family are so great and inspiring to see.. this is why we can not not check every Sunday to see what's new. Happy New Year!
Exactly, any other family channel I'm repulsed by and not into cause they use there kids as objects for money. Way over the top and fake. I don't get that sense from Neil
Absolutely love this honest and relatable channel. I always appreciate your projects with your delightful direct family…..your wife and your daughters. Also nice when we get a glimpse of your Dad as well. Really appreciate your honesty and town/city involvement. You’re a wonderful man Neil! I hope this next comment is accepted as a huge compliment. Your lifestyle reminds me of something from the 1960’s!! Have a great 2025!!!
Honestly wouldn't change a thing. I watch a lot of similar channels and yours is truly the most honest, zero BS, non commercialized channel. I'll be here on my couch every Sunday morning to watch whatever you post!
I don’t come here every week because of the specific project. I come to see what you and the family are up to. I hope that makes sense? For me, it’s the people Thanksgiving for sharing your experience with us. Happy 2025!!
My favorite part of your channel is the shear diversity of topics you cover, your narrations, and the inclusion of family events, both past and present, that are seamlessly woven in. If you need a break, take one, we'll still be here when you come back. Thank you for sharing, inspiring, and just being an all-around good dude to "hang out" with.
I agree with most of the comments. Don't change anything. Your mix of projects and family related stories are what make your channel special. The special things you did with your girls, your wife, and you Dad were standouts and you're smart to have documented them for years to come. The Bronco restoration will great along with the matching dump trucks but you decide. You've done great so far. Happy New Year Neil and we're looking forward to 2025!
Thanks, put this towards a new tool you cant justify, or something for the girls. At this point id watch grass grow or paint dry if the Koch family are involved. I enjoy seeing the family and history. I watch every video as soon as it pops on my feed.
Every Sunday with a DDD video is a treat Neil. You're very generous with your time and we viewers appreciate it and all the effort you put into it. Have a great new year!
Although i really really really like your video’s, the most important is your own mental and physical health! So, we’ll see you when we see you. Have an happy new year and best wishes for 2025.
Absolutely UA-cam is so trivial in the grand scheme of life. Just another way to make a living. Enjoying life taking your time is so important. Lord willing the money follow intrests and passion.
I laugh at myself each week because I really have nothing in common with 99.9% of your videos, but I love them! I’m a retired suburban wife and mother who will never in a million years drive a dump truck or split wood, but there is something about watching you work 😂. I, like many others, joined during the pond build. Fascinating! And I would love love love to see more home improvement/remodel videos. Kara has great taste and vision! She is a “doer” like myself. I don’t even trust my husband to hang a picture 😂 so I’m the fixer around our house. Thank you for entertaining us each week!
😂😂😂 Same. I mostly make art, work on cars. A little content creator nonsense.. so theres some similarities. Fly drones. But thats what I love is that it’s so different from my life. And he's just himself. No homogenized what everyone else is doing stuff. Love the old time/family values, that have been abandoned by the internet as well thats probably the best part in my eyes.
Always enjoy watching your content. You deserve time to yourself and family. Have a happy new year and will watch your video no matter when you post 17:31
One of the most interesting aspect about watching DIY channel is the unpredictability and surprises that comes with it, fact that nothing is planned makes it more enjoyable.
Loved the entire project of leveling and seeding the property for the guy who painted the dump truck. I came for the pond project but I stay for your personality. Whatever you want to record and post, I'll watch!
Happy New Year to you and your family Neil. Thanks for spoiling us with a new video every Sunday for the past few years. Looking forward to 2025. Take some time off and don't let it burn you out. We'll be right here looking forward to your future videos.
Thanks for the videos this year Neil. They've been a weekly routine for me, but I 100% understand you may need to reduce the videos. We've been so lucky to have as many videos from you. God bless you and your family and I wish you a happy new year!
Love watching your video's no matter what they are about , I want to wish you Neil and your family a happy New Year and I look forward to you videos in 2025 , from myself in Northern Ireland
Neil . . I love your channel and enjoy your family. I wish you lived next door. I've learned a lot watching your channel. I also tripped onto your channel while surfing for pond videos. A beautiful project. Happy New Year!!
Neil Koch video more anticipated than the NFL 😂 Always nice to look back and see the growth over the year. This year was insane and you've brought alot of sanity. Alot of people talk about ‘doing’, so its great to see you actually working. Its a breath of fresh air. Thanks for everything you do!
Neil, I stumbled across your channel in summer of 2023 and became instantly hooked. I took time and went back to the beginning when you started your channel. I have now watched every single video you've posted. There is no specific project that draws me back every Sunday morning, but the passion you put into each and every project is what keeps me coming back. The passion you have for your friends and family is absolutely amazing. I see a lot of me in your videos, a lot of which I personally have lost through the years, so watching you has rejuvenated me to get back to doing what I love. Thank you for sharing your life and family with us and please, don't ever stop being you. Happy New Year to you and your entire family! 🎉
WOW!! It’s been a year!! Watching your Chanel has turned into my first thing I do on Sunday morning (well at least one of the first things). I enjoy the mix of family, friends, work and projects. I’m hopeful that next year will be happy and healthy and full of great videos from DDD! …and if I’m lucky I won’t have to watch a rerun of my favorite channel next Sunday!! Happy New Year from South Carolina!!!
I appreciate everything you do Neil! You do you and make your videos when you can. Us dedicated followers will check them out when they hit the air. I subscribed during the pond build and have watched every video since and a lot of previous videos as well. I think my favorite video of 2024 is a culmination of the 6 acre yard and your single axle truck, can't wait to see that bad boy done and then to find Louie isn't far behind, saweeeeet! So, if I'M lucky, I'LL see you in the next one! Be safe and God Bless you and your family! Happy New Year!
Thanks for another great year! Haven't missed an episode. Look forward to it every Sunday morning with some coffee. Happy new year to you and your family Neil, and also to everyone else in the comments!
Not sure if anyone’s mentioned it and I’m not sure if it’s your style but if you get a Patreon I’d love to join! Thanks for all of your videos this year, whatever you do is awesome! Happy New Year to the Koch’s!
I appreciate that! We’ve talked about it and may go that route. I hate chasing sponsorships and doing ad reads, so to get where I want ti be we have been considering Patreon.
Happy new year 🎉 it doesn’t matter what your videos are about to me. I love all of them! If I’m lucky you will continue to make them! God bless you and your family 😊
Mornin Neil. I’ve gotten to the point where I look forward to watching your videos Sunday morning. I enjoy your content and it inspires me to make improvements of my own (all with a positive mindset):). Best of luck in the new year!
The one channel I watch every episode. Looking forward to the Bronco being fixed up and a detailed Silver Lake trip, loading, drive, tags, unload, air down, entrance, test hill, enjoying the beach, the whole process. Don't worry about missing a couple weeks we all need a vacation! You do you and your life, we will enjoy the ride.
Neil, it’s amazing that you have been able to do two years without missing a video! I tried to get on that schedule and couldn’t keep it up. Right now I’ve been taking a month or two off from posting full length content. My point being, you taking a break is well deserved. I think it’s possible that the Bronco project could help the channel grow some. You might be able to get content in front of new people. And then some of them would stick around for the same reasons your regular viewers do: because of you, your personality, your style, and your family. Keep up the good work!
I greatly enjoy watching all your video types, Neil!! The variety keeps us all wondering what you'll be up to this week! I very much appreciate the history and family videos that you occasionally post. They are always interesting and leave us with that "feel good" feeling. I'm really looking forward to the Bronco restoration. My dad owned a '79 F-250 for 40 years, and we often wondered what it would take to restore it. I hope you and the family had a wonderful Christmas, and wish you all enormous success in 2025!! See you on your next video!
You are doing just fine. No need to change the format. I enjoy the mix of videos. You and your family are a real illustration of good, wholesome American values!! This is an edit. YAHOO for the Bronco! I am a Ford guy and the Bronco will be a real joy to watch as you work on that beautiful beast. YES! YES! YES!
My favorite video of the year was the painting of the skid steer. All your videos are enjoyable and are the highlight of my Sunday morning coffee break! Keep up the great work.
The last Sunday morning coffee and DDD for 2024!!! For me, coming back each week is just sort of to relax, unwind and reminisce... Somehow your videos always bring me back to my childhood... a fleeting thought, a forgotten memory, a story to share... Thank you for that but also thank you to your subs... It's a space comfortable to share those precious memories of mine... Whatever you decide to do for 2025, I'm here for it!!! I can go back and rewatch the older videos of yours on Sundays until we see you again... Happy New Year, Neil, to you and your wonderful family!!!
Happy New Year Neil, the gals and the families! The variety is part of the appeal and sharing some of your family moments is every bit as enjoyable as watching you dig it up, chop it up and fix it up etc! Thanks for a great year of content and best wishes from Pas-de-Calais in Northern France 😁
Happy New Years to you and your family and friends. This year has been amazing! Watching this channel grow but not only that, watching this family grow, was really inspiring. This channel is always a humbling experience and please keep up the great work! The best thing about this channel is that you post what you want to instead of having ADS dictate what content you would post. Stay true and humble 🎉❤🙏🏻 PS. Fix up that Bronco, I can’t wait to follow along. Always do what brings you the most joy in life.
Neil, need to answer your request this way. What I really enjoy about your channel is summarized by saying everything. The way each episode has a start and finish is awesome. Enjoy the way the entire family is part of what you do. Please keep just doing what you do. From an enjoyable participant, thank you from Wildwood Crest, NJ. Wish you and the family a Safe, Healthy, Happy, and Prosperous New Year!!!
I appreciate all the video's you put out, kind of inspires and pushes me to get my projects done, but I did like the 6 acre yard job a lot as we did a similar project here and it was a lot of work just as yours was. Keep up the great work and I'll keep watching.
I really like that your content is not focused on one thing. It is more about everyday life and what's in front of you. Keep doing what you are doing and being real. That is what keeps your loyal viewers coming back.
Hey Neil, I enjoy your channel. Been subscribed since around 2020. We live on 35 acres and burn a lot of wood. I also just enjoy running equipment, doing pond projects, etc. Always enjoy seeing how other guys are doing things, tools they use and so forth. Amazing how much you can learn from others. Congrats on your UA-cam success. It's a lot of work itself.
Mr. Koch , first I'd like to thank you for your efforts in putting up great content. My family thoroughly enjoys your channel. It would be easier for me to tell you what I don't care to watch than to tell you what I do. Your fabrication projects are what I enjoy the most but I can't imagine you leaving out all the other things you get involved with. I enjoy practically everything you post. You have something for every body. BTW, I love the way you've developed your home property. If I was forced at gun point to say which content to post and what content not to, ( remember you asked ) I'd stay away from the vacation videos. For me a family vacation seem to be a personal thing. There are tons of little things you've done that I really like. Where you built your garage onto your house, the way you setup your wood burning furnace, the decision to paint Bruno yellow and to use granite for a counter top in your work shop just to name a few. I'm hooked on Dig - Drive - DIY Keep going! JW from Missouri.
Thanks for another year of awesome videos, Neil. A few weeks off in January is well deserved on your end. We'll still be here when you get back! For this next year I would love to see more content on your dump truck and bronco restorations, as well as more grading and excavation projects. Happy New Year!
I loved both barn moving videos. I think seeing it done both ways made it better somehow. I’m most looking forward to seeing the Bronco project. Looking forward to a new year of projects. Do what you have to do to keep away the burnout. We really appreciate the channel and all you teach us along the way. Happy New Year!
Yeah it was the pond that pulled me in at first, what a project! I had zero interest in digs and drives before I found this channel, but I have loved watching every project and all of the things that you do. I just like seeing what you're up to, family life, and the glimpses we get into this part of the world. I know I will never visit in person, living in Scotland, so you have opened a window that would have otherwise stayed closed and unknown to me. I like your approach to life and all things really. You're the reason I show up every week. Thank you sir! I hope it continues for many years to come - and that you take all the time off you need to help ensure this.
Happy Sunday to everyone. Dang Neil, thank you for the trip around memory lane and all the adventures you took us on over the year. Have a wonderful New Year Koch’s!!
Loved watching your channel throughout the year. You have a great family around you. And your grandfather tractor is still going strong. Happy New Year. All the very best from the uk 🇬🇧
Just wanted to wish all of you a happy New Year. I enjoy all of your video's. The interaction you have with your family and the respect and honor you give them. Your ingenuity in your projects I enjoy as well. I am a 77 year young former Manufacturing Engineer and enjoy how you resolve many of your issues delight me. So please, keep all of them coming! God bless you all.
I get up every Sunday at 7 AM because I enjoy the window into your world. Keep doing what you're doing at the consistency that best suits you and we will be here!
Loved all the videos, it makes sure that it is not more and more of the same. Keep doing what you did in 2024. Look forward to the next year. Happy New Year
Happy New Year to you and your family! My son and I enjoy getting up on Sunday morning to watch you videos. We are looking forward to what this year brings for your channel!!
Neil, I started watching your channel during the pond build (which I really enjoyed). I’ve stuck around because, no matter the project, I always learn something new. Thank you for putting in the effort and know that your commitment to making and producing quality and interesting videos is appreciated.
Just keep them coming. It is always a surprise when I click on your channel on Sunday! Next year it will be Monday. As at work they are changing things around for me. But change is good. Looking forward to all the projects you have instore in 2025. Happy New Years to you and yours!
I like watching anything you do. Honestly, though, it’s you Neil that keeps my interest in your channel. Just like the Welker boys in Montana and Zack in Minnesota. It is all of you being yourselves. All of you are guys I could easily be buddies with. Thankyou for being who you are and sharing your life story with us!!
Your channel mix is great - lots of variety! Don't wear yourself out - and do what's in your heart. Personally, I very much enjoy your landscape vids, especially the ones where you're planting grass and we need to tune-in-next-week to follow the progress as the yard grows up!
Wow, y’all remind me how lazy I am. 😂 I really enjoy the variety of your channel. The pond brought me here and the variety kept me coming back. Well, the variety and your personality. I appreciate you, man!
I enjoy all your videos, keep doing what you're doing. You have something special when telling your stories that makes a person feel good. Here's to 2025 🥂!
Just keep doing what you're doing: your authentic best. I love the channel and I've been having a sneaking feeling the last few months that you were on the road to burn-out. Now is a great time to take a couple weeks off from posting videos and re-charge, and re-group. Sounded like you were hinting at some sort of modification with the day job, and maybe pulling back there to allow more time for Neil-and-Family, *and* the Channel -- if so, I'm here for it! Just keep doing what you've been doing, which to me is a combination of authentic videos and steadily increasing production quality (which is at a great level now, btw). As I said before, love the channel, love getting a glimpse into the Neil Koch World and will be a loyal viewer for as long as your stay true to your roots. Thanks for everything Neil -- Happy New Year!
Congrats on a great year. It's hard for me to pick a favorite, but you teaching your daughters to drive a tractor was very special and reminded me of teaching my kids to drive a car. Enjoy your time off and we will be here waiting for your next video when you get time to post it. Happy New Year!
Keep making the kind of video you’re making now. They are interesting not the same stuff every time. The different kind of video you’re making now family, work, project, home renovation, organizing videos and so much more is what keeps me coming back week after week. So keep up the good work💪👍.
Happy New Year Neil and family. I can't imagine the amount of internal pressure you feel to put out a video every week. We are all grateful that you have done it for 2 years straight. Even though it's part of our (the viewers) routine don't you ever think we take precedent over you and your families time. WE are the lucky ones that get to see YOU in the next one, whenever that may be. Also, New Years day in the middle of winter???? Not this year mid 50's to ring in the new year...Yes please!
Stay the course, your channel is great, have always enjoyed the content Neil, my most enjoyable part of your channel is to watch your channel grow, watching you grow with it, and getting to watch your family grow as well. Appreciate you and your efforts, thanks and Happy New Year.
Keep doing what you want. You must have satisfaction from what you do. We all will be waiting. Thanks for sharing your life and projects with me. Happy New year.
Include us on it all! Especially the Bronco! I’m looking forward to that, the dump truck and any other projects you’re working on. 🤎🤎🤎 the channel and keep doing you!
Take a moment to recharge and come back when you’re ready. Personally, I was initially drawn to your channel because of the firewood content, but I’ve stayed for the variety of projects and your unique approach. Honestly, I look forward to your diverse content-it keeps things interesting and inspiring!
I enjoyed all the projects this year, Thanks for keeping us entertained. Favorite video and concept was your birthday wishes to Kara, always great to see a positive influence in the world showing others how to be better gentlemen. See ya when we see ya, we will be here!
My favourite episode of 2024 was the Amish building move. Yes, the community part of it, as well as the sheer physical nature of it were both amazing, but my *favourite* part was the ending, where the boys are sticking their tongues out at the camera. It just proves we're all more alike than some would like to believe. Stay safe, a happy new year to you and your family, and yes, I plan to see you next year!!
I like most anything you post. Even if it is something Im not necessarily interested in, I let the video run so you get a view. My favorite posts this year are the posts about Harlan Days. I wish all towns were this close knit, especially in these times. I also enjoy the house/shop updates, remodels, etc. As others have said, DO YOU because as you know, you cant make everyone happy no matter what you do. Happy New Year to you and the fam! And, you deserve to have a break and some family time.
Merry Christmas and Happy Mew Year. I enjoy the mix of content. The “day in the life of”, is what I like. A sure fire way of losing passion for a hobby is to make it a job. Maybe take a planned vacation from posting for a month- or move to a bi-weekly schedule- I’ll still be here waiting. I like all the videos, but I like how you are patient with your girls as you teach them things- AND that you let them. I also like the ones that show the community: like Harlan Days and the barn moving. Be well and be safe in 2025.
Happy New Year Neil. Your channel is great because it reflects who you are. My friend, you have a presence about you that "professional" tv hosts have to work at for years to get right. With that said, I would encourage you to take time for yourself. Us fans get it, but more importantly you know when you need it.
The reason this channel is popular is that you're so authentic and family-focused. My advice is to change nothing (other than taking some breaks so you don't burn out). You're a family favorite and we can relate to all the various types of content you share in your videos. My only request is that you let us know when come back to vacay in TN so we can meet up and show you around!
Looking forward to the Bronco build (maybe with Captain Kleeman?) The track loader was a good one. It was fun, and relatable, to watch you stress through the giant lawn project. Keep up the good work Neil!
I came here I think at the end of 2023 with the pond video that just popped up in my algorithm.. Been watching ever since! Love this channel and the style you promote in your videos. Keep up the grea6 work!
I’m glad I found your channel in 2024. Like you, I myself am a DIY’er and a family man. My best day is one I can spend around the house with my wife and daughter piddling on something to make our life better and more enjoyable. That’s happiness for me, and I find peace and inspiration watching you and your family. Happy New Year! I look forward to your 2025 playlist!
Happy new year Neil. It is hard for me to pick which one of your videos was my favorite, but I did really enjoy the videos of the six acre lawn project. I was amazed at how much work that was.
Neil, Please have a Happy and safe New year and hang in there.Film when you can do not get burned out. Your health is most important thing . I will see your videos when have the time to post them. And hope your family has a Happy New Year too
Don’t be afraid of short form videos, they allow you to keep your weekly upload commitment but not so time and content intensive. My feeling is the larger part of the audience will understand and appreciate no matter what you post.
I’d have to agree with most of your other viewers, keep doing what you’re doing. You have a good variety of projects throughout the year. Can’t wait to see you start on the Bronco project. One other thing I’d like to see is more of your music endeavours. Keep up the great work, your channel is something we really look forward to watching on Sunday mornings.
The pond is what introduced this floridian to your channel, and I've been here since. Loved your channel over the last two years and have caught up with most videos you've made. One of my favorite creators!
I could never pick one video but my short list would be the barn moves, the Allis-Chalmers, the skid loader makeover, all the work you did for the guy that worked on the dump truck...got to stop or I'll add 5 more. Thanks for giving me great content to go with my Sunday morning coffee. Don't change a thing, you seem to have a great sense for interesting content. Happy New Year, Koch family!
Just keep doing what you are doing. To me, that's what makes you authentic and palatable.. Chasing views and sponsors is what kills channels, in my opinion, and I just lose interest in that mentality.. This is a wholesome channel that I can enjoy with my 8 and 9 year old kids, and I hope it remains that way.
This!
Precisely!!!
Was gonna say exactly this. Most people imo don’t follow channels like yours for specific projects- we just love your attitude/personality and want to keep watching
I agree !
Thanks guys!
The funny thing about your channel Neil, is that your projects bring us here, but we stay because you and your family are so great and inspiring to see.. this is why we can not not check every Sunday to see what's new.
Happy New Year!
Exactly, any other family channel I'm repulsed by and not into cause they use there kids as objects for money. Way over the top and fake. I don't get that sense from Neil
@nicknuggets369 outdoor boys is another no sponser channel that I have watched for years and is kid friendly.
Absolutely love this honest and relatable channel. I always appreciate your projects with your delightful direct family…..your wife and your daughters. Also nice when we get a glimpse of your Dad as well. Really appreciate your honesty and town/city involvement. You’re a wonderful man Neil! I hope this next comment is accepted as a huge compliment. Your lifestyle reminds me of something from the 1960’s!! Have a great 2025!!!
You do you Neil.......it's why I am here every Sunday Morning.
Yep, and plenty of his old vids I haven't watched yet.
Honestly wouldn't change a thing. I watch a lot of similar channels and yours is truly the most honest, zero BS, non commercialized channel. I'll be here on my couch every Sunday morning to watch whatever you post!
I sure do appreciate that. Glad you're enjoying the channel!
I don’t come here every week because of the specific project. I come to see what you and the family are up to. I hope that makes sense? For me, it’s the people Thanksgiving for sharing your experience with us. Happy 2025!!
My favorite part of your channel is the shear diversity of topics you cover, your narrations, and the inclusion of family events, both past and present, that are seamlessly woven in.
If you need a break, take one, we'll still be here when you come back. Thank you for sharing, inspiring, and just being an all-around good dude to "hang out" with.
I agree with most of the comments. Don't change anything. Your mix of projects and family related stories are what make your channel special. The special things you did with your girls, your wife, and you Dad were standouts and you're smart to have documented them for years to come. The Bronco restoration will great along with the matching dump trucks but you decide. You've done great so far. Happy New Year Neil and we're looking forward to 2025!
I subscribed during the pond project. But I'm way more excited to see what you make of that Bronco!!
Thanks, put this towards a new tool you cant justify, or something for the girls.
At this point id watch grass grow or paint dry if the Koch family are involved.
I enjoy seeing the family and history. I watch every video as soon as it pops on my feed.
Wow! Thanks so much Travis! I’ll spoil the girls in some way with this. I really appreciate the kind words and having you on board.
Every Sunday with a DDD video is a treat Neil. You're very generous with your time and we viewers appreciate it and all the effort you put into it. Have a great new year!
Although i really really really like your video’s, the most important is your own mental and physical health! So, we’ll see you when we see you. Have an happy new year and best wishes for 2025.
Don't let youtube stress burn you out Neil! I love your videos but place your health and family first always. Best wishes for 2025!
Absolutely UA-cam is so trivial in the grand scheme of life. Just another way to make a living. Enjoying life taking your time is so important. Lord willing the money follow intrests and passion.
I laugh at myself each week because I really have nothing in common with 99.9% of your videos, but I love them! I’m a retired suburban wife and mother who will never in a million years drive a dump truck or split wood, but there is something about watching you work 😂. I, like many others, joined during the pond build. Fascinating! And I would love love love to see more home improvement/remodel videos. Kara has great taste and vision! She is a “doer” like myself. I don’t even trust my husband to hang a picture 😂 so I’m the fixer around our house. Thank you for entertaining us each week!
😂😂😂 Same. I mostly make art, work on cars. A little content creator nonsense.. so theres some similarities. Fly drones. But thats what I love is that it’s so different from my life. And he's just himself. No homogenized what everyone else is doing stuff. Love the old time/family values, that have been abandoned by the internet as well thats probably the best part in my eyes.
My wife likes comments that mention home remodeling! She’s got a list as long as mine! :)
@ you know what they say - Happy wife happy life 😉☺️
Always enjoy watching your content. You deserve time to yourself and family. Have a happy new year and will watch your video no matter when you post 17:31
One of the most interesting aspect about watching DIY channel is the unpredictability and surprises that comes with it, fact that nothing is planned makes it more enjoyable.
Loved the entire project of leveling and seeding the property for the guy who painted the dump truck.
I came for the pond project but I stay for your personality. Whatever you want to record and post, I'll watch!

Thanks so much. I appreciate the kind words and so thankful to have you back every week.
WOW!! It’s been a year!! Watching your Chanel has turned into my first thing I do on Sunday morning (well at least one of the first things). I enjoy the mix of family, friends, work and projects. I’m hopeful that next year will be happy and healthy and full of great videos from DDD! …and if I’m lucky I won’t have to watch a rerun of my favorite channel next Sunday!! Happy New Year from South Carolina!!!
You have a great channel. You haven’t disappointed us yet. Do what feels right. But mostly enjoy your family. Everything else is gravy
I appreciate everything you do Neil! You do you and make your videos when you can. Us dedicated followers will check them out when they hit the air. I subscribed during the pond build and have watched every video since and a lot of previous videos as well. I think my favorite video of 2024 is a culmination of the 6 acre yard and your single axle truck, can't wait to see that bad boy done and then to find Louie isn't far behind, saweeeeet! So, if I'M lucky, I'LL see you in the next one! Be safe and God Bless you and your family! Happy New Year!
Keep doing what you are doing ..! I get up every Sunday eager to see what you have been up to..! Thank you for keeping it interesting..!
Thanks for another great year! Haven't missed an episode. Look forward to it every Sunday morning with some coffee. Happy new year to you and your family Neil, and also to everyone else in the comments!
Not sure if anyone’s mentioned it and I’m not sure if it’s your style but if you get a Patreon I’d love to join! Thanks for all of your videos this year, whatever you do is awesome! Happy New Year to the Koch’s!
I appreciate that! We’ve talked about it and may go that route. I hate chasing sponsorships and doing ad reads, so to get where I want ti be we have been considering Patreon.
Happy new year 🎉 it doesn’t matter what your videos are about to me. I love all of them! If I’m lucky you will continue to make them! God bless you and your family 😊
Happy New year Neil and family. Enjoining your videos every sunday here in the Netherlands. Take good care of yourself!!!
Keep up the amazing videos. It's our favorite sunday morning activity!!
Thanks Phil. Glad to have you watching!
Mornin Neil. I’ve gotten to the point where I look forward to watching your videos Sunday morning. I enjoy your content and it inspires me to make improvements of my own (all with a positive mindset):). Best of luck in the new year!
The one channel I watch every episode. Looking forward to the Bronco being fixed up and a detailed Silver Lake trip, loading, drive, tags, unload, air down, entrance, test hill, enjoying the beach, the whole process. Don't worry about missing a couple weeks we all need a vacation! You do you and your life, we will enjoy the ride.
Neil, it’s amazing that you have been able to do two years without missing a video! I tried to get on that schedule and couldn’t keep it up. Right now I’ve been taking a month or two off from posting full length content.
My point being, you taking a break is well deserved.
I think it’s possible that the Bronco project could help the channel grow some. You might be able to get content in front of new people. And then some of them would stick around for the same reasons your regular viewers do: because of you, your personality, your style, and your family.
Keep up the good work!
I greatly enjoy watching all your video types, Neil!! The variety keeps us all wondering what you'll be up to this week! I very much appreciate the history and family videos that you occasionally post. They are always interesting and leave us with that "feel good" feeling. I'm really looking forward to the Bronco restoration. My dad owned a '79 F-250 for 40 years, and we often wondered what it would take to restore it. I hope you and the family had a wonderful Christmas, and wish you all enormous success in 2025!! See you on your next video!
You are doing just fine. No need to change the format. I enjoy the mix of videos. You and your family are a real illustration of good, wholesome American values!! This is an edit. YAHOO for the Bronco! I am a Ford guy and the Bronco will be a real joy to watch as you work on that beautiful beast. YES! YES! YES!
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year
Keep your videos coming I enjoy watching them all 👍
The variety of subjects makes the channel awesome. Yes seeing the Bronco and home upgrades will be fun to follow along.
My favorite video of the year was the painting of the skid steer. All your videos are enjoyable and are the highlight of my Sunday morning coffee break! Keep up the great work.
I love your organization projects! Don't get burned out! Enjoy your family and keep us in the loop. Thank you Neil. Love the videos.😀
The last Sunday morning coffee and DDD for 2024!!! For me, coming back each week is just sort of to relax, unwind and reminisce... Somehow your videos always bring me back to my childhood... a fleeting thought, a forgotten memory, a story to share... Thank you for that but also thank you to your subs... It's a space comfortable to share those precious memories of mine... Whatever you decide to do for 2025, I'm here for it!!! I can go back and rewatch the older videos of yours on Sundays until we see you again... Happy New Year, Neil, to you and your wonderful family!!!
Happy New Year Neil, the gals and the families! The variety is part of the appeal and sharing some of your family moments is every bit as enjoyable as watching you dig it up, chop it up and fix it up etc! Thanks for a great year of content and best wishes from Pas-de-Calais in Northern France 😁
I love ❤️ your videos, we watch them ever Sunday morning. I’d like to see what the 6 acre project looks like in the spring.
Me too!
Happy New Years to you and your family and friends. This year has been amazing! Watching this channel grow but not only that, watching this family grow, was really inspiring. This channel is always a humbling experience and please keep up the great work! The best thing about this channel is that you post what you want to instead of having ADS dictate what content you would post. Stay true and humble 🎉❤🙏🏻
PS. Fix up that Bronco, I can’t wait to follow along. Always do what brings you the most joy in life.
Neil, need to answer your request this way. What I really enjoy about your channel is summarized by saying everything. The way each episode has a start and finish is awesome. Enjoy the way the entire family is part of what you do. Please keep just doing what you do. From an enjoyable participant, thank you from Wildwood Crest, NJ. Wish you and the family a Safe, Healthy, Happy, and Prosperous New Year!!!
That F700 turned out awesome!!! Have a Happy and Blessed New Year!!!! Looking forward to seeing more videos!!
I appreciate all the video's you put out, kind of inspires and pushes me to get my projects done, but I did like the 6 acre yard job a lot as we did a similar project here and it was a lot of work just as yours was. Keep up the great work and I'll keep watching.
You’ve become my Sunday morning ritual. I love watching someone do DIY like I try and do! Happy new year!!!
I really like that your content is not focused on one thing. It is more about everyday life and what's in front of you. Keep doing what you are doing and being real. That is what keeps your loyal viewers coming back.
Hey Neil, I enjoy your channel. Been subscribed since around 2020. We live on 35 acres and burn a lot of wood. I also just enjoy running equipment, doing pond projects, etc. Always enjoy seeing how other guys are doing things, tools they use and so forth. Amazing how much you can learn from others. Congrats on your UA-cam success. It's a lot of work itself.
Love your videos, pond brought your channel to my attention but you and your family has me watching every Sunday.
Mr. Koch , first I'd like to thank you for your efforts in putting up great content. My family thoroughly enjoys your channel. It would be easier for me to tell you what I don't care to watch than to tell you what I do. Your fabrication projects are what I enjoy the most but I can't imagine you leaving out all the other things you get involved with. I enjoy practically everything you post. You have something for every body. BTW, I love the way you've developed your home property. If I was forced at gun point to say which content to post and what content not to, ( remember you asked ) I'd stay away from the vacation videos. For me a family vacation seem to be a personal thing. There are tons of little things you've done that I really like. Where you built your garage onto your house, the way you setup your wood burning furnace, the decision to paint Bruno yellow and to use granite for a counter top in your work shop just to name a few. I'm hooked on Dig - Drive - DIY Keep going! JW from Missouri.
Thanks for another year of awesome videos, Neil. A few weeks off in January is well deserved on your end. We'll still be here when you get back! For this next year I would love to see more content on your dump truck and bronco restorations, as well as more grading and excavation projects. Happy New Year!
I loved both barn moving videos. I think seeing it done both ways made it better somehow. I’m most looking forward to seeing the Bronco project. Looking forward to a new year of projects. Do what you have to do to keep away the burnout. We really appreciate the channel and all you teach us along the way. Happy New Year!
I was drawn to your channel during the making of your pond, but continue checking in because I enjoy all your content! Thank you!
Yeah it was the pond that pulled me in at first, what a project! I had zero interest in digs and drives before I found this channel, but I have loved watching every project and all of the things that you do. I just like seeing what you're up to, family life, and the glimpses we get into this part of the world. I know I will never visit in person, living in Scotland, so you have opened a window that would have otherwise stayed closed and unknown to me. I like your approach to life and all things really. You're the reason I show up every week. Thank you sir! I hope it continues for many years to come - and that you take all the time off you need to help ensure this.
Happy Sunday to everyone. Dang Neil, thank you for the trip around memory lane and all the adventures you took us on over the year. Have a wonderful New Year Koch’s!!
Loved watching your channel throughout the year. You have a great family around you. And your grandfather tractor is still going strong. Happy New Year. All the very best from the uk 🇬🇧
Just wanted to wish all of you a happy New Year. I enjoy all of your video's. The interaction you have with your family and the respect and honor you give them. Your ingenuity in your projects I enjoy as well. I am a 77 year young former Manufacturing Engineer and enjoy how you resolve many of your issues delight me. So please, keep all of them coming! God bless you all.
I get up every Sunday at 7 AM because I enjoy the window into your world. Keep doing what you're doing at the consistency that best suits you and we will be here!
Loved all the videos, it makes sure that it is not more and more of the same. Keep doing what you did in 2024.
Look forward to the next year. Happy New Year
Happy New Year to you and your family! My son and I enjoy getting up on Sunday morning to watch you videos. We are looking forward to what this year brings for your channel!!
Neil, I started watching your channel during the pond build (which I really enjoyed). I’ve stuck around because, no matter the project, I always learn something new. Thank you for putting in the effort and know that your commitment to making and producing quality and interesting videos is appreciated.
Just keep them coming. It is always a surprise when I click on your channel on Sunday! Next year it will be Monday. As at work they are changing things around for me. But change is good.
Looking forward to all the projects you have instore in 2025.
Happy New Years to you and yours!
We religiously watch the channel every Sunday morning we love everything you post thank you for your time
I like watching anything you do. Honestly, though, it’s you Neil that keeps my interest in your channel. Just like the Welker boys in Montana and Zack in Minnesota. It is all of you being yourselves. All of you are guys I could easily be buddies with. Thankyou for being who you are and sharing your life story with us!!
Love all your content Neil, more of the same would be just fine by me.
Happy new year to you and yours
Your channel mix is great - lots of variety! Don't wear yourself out - and do what's in your heart. Personally, I very much enjoy your landscape vids, especially the ones where you're planting grass and we need to tune-in-next-week to follow the progress as the yard grows up!
No matter the focus I enjoy everything you do. You are good at it. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Wow, y’all remind me how lazy I am. 😂 I really enjoy the variety of your channel. The pond brought me here and the variety kept me coming back. Well, the variety and your personality. I appreciate you, man!
I enjoy all your videos, keep doing what you're doing. You have something special when telling your stories that makes a person feel good. Here's to 2025 🥂!
Just keep doing what you're doing: your authentic best.
I love the channel and I've been having a sneaking feeling the last few months that you were on the road to burn-out.
Now is a great time to take a couple weeks off from posting videos and re-charge, and re-group.
Sounded like you were hinting at some sort of modification with the day job, and maybe pulling back there to allow more time for Neil-and-Family, *and* the Channel -- if so, I'm here for it!
Just keep doing what you've been doing, which to me is a combination of authentic videos and steadily increasing production quality (which is at a great level now, btw).
As I said before, love the channel, love getting a glimpse into the Neil Koch World and will be a loyal viewer for as long as your stay true to your roots.
Thanks for everything Neil -- Happy New Year!
Congrats on a great year. It's hard for me to pick a favorite, but you teaching your daughters to drive a tractor was very special and reminded me of teaching my kids to drive a car. Enjoy your time off and we will be here waiting for your next video when you get time to post it. Happy New Year!
Keep making the kind of video you’re making now.
They are interesting not the same stuff every time.
The different kind of video you’re making now family, work, project, home renovation, organizing videos and so much more is what keeps me coming back week after week.
So keep up the good work💪👍.
Happy New Year Neil and family. I can't imagine the amount of internal pressure you feel to put out a video every week. We are all grateful that you have done it for 2 years straight. Even though it's part of our (the viewers) routine don't you ever think we take precedent over you and your families time. WE are the lucky ones that get to see YOU in the next one, whenever that may be. Also, New Years day in the middle of winter???? Not this year mid 50's to ring in the new year...Yes please!
Yea i respect the consistency very much. That kind of pressure is unreal
Stay the course, your channel is great, have always enjoyed the content Neil, my most enjoyable part of your channel is to watch your channel grow, watching you grow with it, and getting to watch your family grow as well. Appreciate you and your efforts, thanks and Happy New Year.
Wishing you and your family a very Happy New Year and looking forward to 2025!
Keep doing what you want. You must have satisfaction from what you do. We all will be waiting. Thanks for sharing your life and projects with me. Happy New year.
Include us on it all! Especially the Bronco! I’m looking forward to that, the dump truck and any other projects you’re working on. 🤎🤎🤎 the channel and keep doing you!
I like the variety, you never know what to expect. If it was the same old same old all the time I wouldn’t be here. Happy new year to you and yours.
Take a moment to recharge and come back when you’re ready. Personally, I was initially drawn to your channel because of the firewood content, but I’ve stayed for the variety of projects and your unique approach. Honestly, I look forward to your diverse content-it keeps things interesting and inspiring!
I like the variety of videos. So just capture what you are doing. These will be great memories for your grandchildren too. Looking forward to 2025.
I enjoyed all the projects this year, Thanks for keeping us entertained. Favorite video and concept was your birthday wishes to Kara, always great to see a positive influence in the world showing others how to be better gentlemen. See ya when we see ya, we will be here!
My favourite episode of 2024 was the Amish building move. Yes, the community part of it, as well as the sheer physical nature of it were both amazing, but my *favourite* part was the ending, where the boys are sticking their tongues out at the camera. It just proves we're all more alike than some would like to believe.
Stay safe, a happy new year to you and your family, and yes, I plan to see you next year!!
I like most anything you post. Even if it is something Im not necessarily interested in, I let the video run so you get a view. My favorite posts this year are the posts about Harlan Days. I wish all towns were this close knit, especially in these times. I also enjoy the house/shop updates, remodels, etc. As others have said, DO YOU because as you know, you cant make everyone happy no matter what you do. Happy New Year to you and the fam! And, you deserve to have a break and some family time.
Thanks Kevin!
Merry Christmas and Happy Mew Year.
I enjoy the mix of content. The “day in the life of”, is what I like.
A sure fire way of losing passion for a hobby is to make it a job. Maybe take a planned vacation from posting for a month- or move to a bi-weekly schedule- I’ll still be here waiting.
I like all the videos, but I like how you are patient with your girls as you teach them things- AND that you let them. I also like the ones that show the community: like Harlan Days and the barn moving. Be well and be safe in 2025.
Happy New Year Neil. Your channel is great because it reflects who you are. My friend, you have a presence about you that "professional" tv hosts have to work at for years to get right. With that said, I would encourage you to take time for yourself. Us fans get it, but more importantly you know when you need it.
The reason this channel is popular is that you're so authentic and family-focused. My advice is to change nothing (other than taking some breaks so you don't burn out). You're a family favorite and we can relate to all the various types of content you share in your videos. My only request is that you let us know when come back to vacay in TN so we can meet up and show you around!
Looking forward to the Bronco build (maybe with Captain Kleeman?)
The track loader was a good one. It was fun, and relatable, to watch you stress through the giant lawn project.
Keep up the good work Neil!
Happy New Years, Neil and family! Enjoy your time off, we will be here when you are back.
I came here I think at the end of 2023 with the pond video that just popped up in my algorithm.. Been watching ever since! Love this channel and the style you promote in your videos. Keep up the grea6 work!
I’m glad I found your channel in 2024. Like you, I myself am a DIY’er and a family man. My best day is one I can spend around the house with my wife and daughter piddling on something to make our life better and more enjoyable. That’s happiness for me, and I find peace and inspiration watching you and your family.
Happy New Year!
I look forward to your 2025 playlist!
Happy new year Neil. It is hard for me to pick which one of your videos was my favorite, but I did really enjoy the videos of the six acre lawn project. I was amazed at how much work that was.
You have a very melodic voice and your narration style flows smoothly. This contributes to your channel which conveys your interesting video content.
Neil, Please have a Happy and safe New year and hang in there.Film when you can do not get burned out. Your health is most important thing
. I will see your videos when have the time to post them. And hope your family has a Happy New Year too
Don’t be afraid of short form videos, they allow you to keep your weekly upload commitment but not so time and content intensive. My feeling is the larger part of the audience will understand and appreciate no matter what you post.
I’d have to agree with most of your other viewers, keep doing what you’re doing. You have a good variety of projects throughout the year. Can’t wait to see you start on the Bronco project. One other thing I’d like to see is more of your music endeavours. Keep up the great work, your channel is something we really look forward to watching on Sunday mornings.
Happy new year to you and your family Neil. Enjoy your January YT break, best wishes for 2025!
The pond is what introduced this floridian to your channel, and I've been here since. Loved your channel over the last two years and have caught up with most videos you've made. One of my favorite creators!
I could never pick one video but my short list would be the barn moves, the Allis-Chalmers, the skid loader makeover, all the work you did for the guy that worked on the dump truck...got to stop or I'll add 5 more.
Thanks for giving me great content to go with my Sunday morning coffee. Don't change a thing, you seem to have a great sense for interesting content.
Happy New Year, Koch family!
