How to Start an Outdoor YouTube Channel (No Electricity Required) #94
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- Curious how YouTubing from a tent works? Or how UA-camrs get paid? Or considering starting a channel yourself? It doesn't take much except a camera or phone and an internet connection, even if you live like me, in a in the trees.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because I’ve gotten so many questions about the gear that I use on the channel, here are some of the most important pieces I use every day:
(I do receive a small commission from sales associated with the following links. Any income from these sales goes directly to supporting me in making new videos for this channel!)

Thank you all so much for supporting this crazy endeavor! Without you folks donating to Surviving Ringworm, I wouldn't be able to even consider staying out here in the wilderness a THIRD year making videos. You seriously blow my mind!

Ryan. There really are only 4 channels that I watch on a regular basis. Yours is not only one of them, but the one I wake up to on a Saturday morning with a smile knowing you will be there to enjoy over a nice hot cup of coffee. You make me laugh consistently in every one of them and while I probably enjoy the building videos more on the whole, I still enjoy the more off topic spots. Can't wait to see your new dog and the relationship that grows from there and I have no doubt that your best friend is just around the corner. Thank you for taking the time to make us laugh each and every week. It really means a lot.
Dang, you started 17 years ago that’s crazy
Thanks for showing us “behind the curtain” of running a UA-cam channel. Keep up the great content.
Hey Ryan, what you’re doing is amazing. I think most of us know by now you’re understated in all of your explanations. It’s clear you have a passion and eye for photography, design, and some incredible chainsaw skills. And your humor and camera presence is incredible.
I knew from that first $20 you would excel. I’m in this for the long haul, so you can count on that support. I bet there’s a lot more of us out there that will find you in time.
Final note: our video today is on milling. We didn’t it the easy way with a mill. Wow, it’s a lot of work. And not just cutting, but all the time moving logs, stacking, moving stacks, and disposing the unusable bits. Makes us respect what you’re doing even more. Thank you! Please keep forging forward.
Hmm dunno about the humor part. Don't quit your day job. #mentalhealthcheck
What an inspiration - organizing one's life around what is enjoyable instead of what will bring in the money and cost time.
Another great video. Totally unexpected subject but fantastic. We have done the binge on the early vids and that is why we are hooked on ringworm. Thanks for all your video and building work. God bless.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video

I think another reason why your channel is successful is because each video has the same pleasing aesthetic look to it. We always know we're going to get great shots of scenery and beautiful wood grains (for those of us who appreciate the beauty of wood and the woods.) Love it.
Thanks for sharing this info. You’re very humble but you are no knucklehead. I looked forward to starting my Saturday seeing what you’ve created.
Wow, what a terrific summary for your startup and candid thoughts. I will share this with a couple friends that are interested in the opportunity. Glad to see that you are taking care of yourself, chilling in the heat, napping through the worst weather and enjoying your chosen life. Wishing you and your lady a blessed week, gentle weather and restful evenings. Peace Ryan.
I love that you addressed the mental health side of social media. Thank you!!!
I love your honesty, skills, hard work, love of nature and just about everything you present for us to watch. Your content has improved by leaps and bounds but your hard work makes for the best videos for me. Seeing the end result of your skill and artistic talent must be satisfying for you as well as your viewers. Continue enjoying what you do and may it involve your finances improving so you can access new equipment (like your Microscopes).
I just want to let you know, I’m 78 years old. I have two kids and each one has two kids. I have already added your videos to my list of videos I want my grand kids to watch to learn things about life from. Todays video is the first one I’ve seen with honest talk about making a living by making UA-cam videos. Thanks for doing this. The other part I appreciated is the mental handling of the negative comments you receive every day. We all have to learn to live with criticism. We all have to learn about consequences and taking responsibility for what we say and how we say it. I have a lot of respect for you. Thank you for being you.
I like how you always make us a part of your vids. As a person who worked 49.5 years for someone else I envy your lifestyle and also your fortitude to persevere..
Thank you for taking us along on your adventure! You are doing a great job Ryan! Always look forward to your channel. You deserve way more subs. blessings
Just enjoy seeing you every weekend! All your efforts are so appreciated and the laughs are such a bonus. Your self-effacing humour makes me giggle every time. Glad to see you resting and staying cool. Your music is so an unexpected and a real treat too. Well done as usual
Ryan, special thank you for sharing the UA-cam production experience with us. We had a cabin on a lake that I helped build when I was a boy. I enjoy your completely self reliant cabin in the pines formation reports and remember my own experiences of yesteryear. We have a 12 acre tract on a creek in an adjoining rural county and I am thinking about building a little cabin with less than 200 sqft of floor space much like yours, but with kiln dried lumber. Please keep sharing your experience. It was great to hear that basically, you are just out there having fun, the videos are not the goal. The goal is fun and the videos are another part of that fun. Carry on!!!
I'm happy to see you have a new video on Saturday morning. Thanks.
You are one of maybe a handful of UA-camrs that I would give a share of my money if I ever won big money in the lotto. You are so humble and I know you would not only appreciate the money but I would hope the money would be enough for you stay doing what you love forever
I started a UA-cam channel for those reason you mentioned . Making videos with my kids enjoy the outdoors and everything Michigan has to offer lol more for the fun and to persevere those memories for myself and my children.
Fascinating video - your laid back style of presentation is brilliant, please keep it up
That was really interesting... thanks for sharing. Good stuff. Especially the 'mental health aspect. Yup, people be crazy sometimes... go figure.
For me, You Tube has opened up the world ... and I am eternally grateful for all the hard work those, like yourself, do to make my world bigger. 🌎 👍
We have recently started a UA-cam channel & we thank you very much for all the info you provided. Keep building & we will keep watching!
Ryan your channel is at the top of our watch list! We enjoy your humor but also we learn so much. Your video on starting a UA-cam channel was so well done. I have always been curious about that and you explained it very thoroughly but easy to understand. Thank you for all your work. Can’t wait for the next project!
Hi Ryan, keep doing what you're doing. Good, bad or indifferent I can't wait for Saturday and the next video, actually, your chainsaw skills are awesome. Take care, Alan Gregory.
thanks Ryan a good insight there.
If i get a woodland i did plan on vlogging the early stages just like how you described.
btw numbering your videos is so helpful to understand the journey, i wish more people would do it.
I watch your channel almost every day since discovering your channel. Your constant and steady conversation with your viewers is unique and engaging. I love the random builds. Bought a bunch of RYOBI tools recently because you have inspired me to try and build something soon. I have a channel, but it’s about my latest hobby, beekeeping. I need a building to store some beekeeping supplies and equipment, why not try and build it myself. Thanks for having fun!
Ringworm is my favorite youtube channel. Wouldn't miss a video.
GREAT video! Thanks for being so candid about the process. You definitely inspired me to start my own channel with similar (ish) content! It’s nice to hear that you grew during your UA-cam journey. I obviously have a LONG way to go before I can get to your quality of videos but I feel like I’m learning a lot from every video that I make just like you talked about in this video. I appreciate you taking the time to give us some insight and thanks for the motivation to start mine! So excited to see the cabin!
You are a true renaissance man ! Love the down to earth , intelligent, presentation of so many varied subjects. Microscopes in the woods ! Yes! Good books? Yes! Keep it up buddy, I look forward to every video.
It's the only video of yours I've watched. Thanks for an interesting, honest, and humble perspective on something I wondered about.
Following you a long time, and really enjoy your videos. Was inspired to start making videos myself, just got started recently, so the timing of this video was fantastic for me.
Thanks so much for all the insight and the fantastic examples you’ve set with this channel.
And the stuff that you are doing out there is kick ass.
I love watching the process of someone doing something and getting better and better at it. Prob why I like your channel so much Ryan. Keep it up brother!
G’day Ryan, you just popped my cherry by being my first patreon recipient 👍
Love your channel and your down to earth attitude. Keep up the great content and hope my donations get you that tank of gas 😂
I really like your content and the honesty about the nuts and bolts of it all. I take pictures and have forever but I have been encouraged by friends to video what I am doing and upload the videos to FB or UA-cam to document my efforts. I definitely agree about the concept of already having a passion subject to document, rather than "creating a subject just to video" and so that is cool! I am sure many people are appreciative of what you do. That is why it comes across as natural - because it is. Keep it up! Looking forward to watching this channel, for sure.
I was in youtube for a few years when it was totally unpaid. I just did it for fun. Then they started a "partnership" program and you could apply to be a partner.
Gun channels were some of the first large partner channels before youtube went anti gun.
I used to get a few troll comments, but I either ignore them or reply with an even more absurd response and the trolls just gave up and move along.
I like your content because I can live vicariously without all the sweating and bug bites 😄
This wasn’t the topic I expected but as always I enjoy watching your thought process. It was especially interesting hearing your thoughts about critical comments. Although it looks like the comments you get are mostly supportive I can appreciate that the vicious trolls can be hard to ignore. Thanks for the video Ryan! Stay awesome!
You’re legit. I really enjoy watching and learning from you. Quite inspiring. Thank you, Ryan
Really appreciate your approach, not necessarily all the flashy angles intros ……. Just casual convo and info. Cheers.
Of all the things on the internet, I find myself rewatching ringworm... Thanks Ryan!
You are a hard worker in many ways. Been enjoying your videos since day 1. I appreciate your honesty. Keep it up. Thanks.
Frank, from Hells canyon.
Thank you for your honesty and knowledge
This was so informative. I'm glad you shared this video because this tells people whether or not they want to get into doing UA-cam videos. You was very very explanatory on this.
Thank you Mr. Ringworm. Thank you so much for this valuable information.
Best way to start a Saturday Morning since Loony Tunes went off the air. A cup of coffee and Ryan.
Well said.
This may help! I enjoy your creative builds. Keep on keeping on.
omg. not about being a UA-cam concierge. this is about a Ryobi Spnsorship. You deserve it Ryan. You are an ambassador.
I love your show but I’m not or can’t work anymore until I get back surgery, so times are really tuff . I always hit the like and say something stupid and I’m a subscriber. Hope that helps you !
You are just the reason I watch. Just be who you are. I so look forward to every week. Thank you!
your able to keep my attention for 30 min which is impressive, great content
Another excellent video Nutball.... 😀
Ryan your channel is awesome and I look forward every week to a new video. You have inspired me to get into chain saw milling and I am currently filming the build of my equipment shed. Thanks and keep up the good work!
Wow. Thank you very much for taking the time to do this video.
You have a interesting and enjoyable way of presenting yourself.
Thankyou for the information. That was very informative. Don't stop what you're doing and don't listen to the Karens and Darrens. There will always be someone you can never please 😊
Love your channel! Keep it going! Thanks for all of your time!
Thanks for that information. While I’ll never start a channel I was curious. Anyway, love your content. The countdown for making the move to the middle of nowhere Alaska is underway and watching definitely has built the excitement! 👍🏼👍🏼
I have watched every one of your videos. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing your experience
My question is: Do you read all your comments Ryan? Great video here. Thank you. You have really good integrity and you talk from the heart. I started youtube channel in January 2009 and am still only at 750 000 views. Because I love making videos too and creating my life story that I can look back on one day. I am editing with Windows movie maker that came with my lap top for free. :))) Love you videos brother.
Thank you for all of the great videos.
Thank you, I started a year ago because of you
I think this is good advice and I am sharing it with friends who were not as happy with their experience
So glad I found your channel.
Thanks for sharing keep on keeping on
Always enjoy your videos. Dawns here ☀️
loving a firseside chat. hope there is more.
In my opinion, this is one of the best youtube channels. I think Zach Fowler is a better videographer but your videos are more interesting to me.
That was very interesting I’ve always thought it looked super easy but now I know it’s not easy making a living as a UA-camr you explained it very well you do make a very good video and super interesting hope you never quit my Saturday wouldn’t be the same
Hey man I think you a great guy you tell people what they should know and you don't short change them I just want to tell you keep up the good work that you doing I'm always going to be a fan of your videos
Great video thank you for your share show it all we are watching
You’re so real and funny 😊
I went and watched your number one video it was pretty good for beginner I enjoy watching all your videos you’re doing excellent job and I think you’re a pretty good Carpenter and I will keep watching your videos so I hope you keep make a note and I hope they get profitable profitable for you so thank you God bless
great advice for wannabe youtubers. love your videos-you're original and inspiring. keep it up
thank you for the great video, great info, watch every weekend
Well done!
Cheers,
Eric
I appreciate the info - i'm fairly new to UA-cam and learning along the way thanks to you- cheers!
I've been thinking about starting a channel. I'm a disabled veteran. I've already bought ocean shore property in southern Alaska, I'm currently renovating my home to then sell. I looked online and found the GoPro's reviews are more bad than good. I'm waiting to receive the "snapshot" camera I bought. So I plan to start low budget. Film the building of the new 16x20 pool shed, painting the pool, new installation of house windows, insulation, wiring, plumbing etc. When done and sold.....the "Alaskan adventure" begins .
Thanks for the info on the devinchi resolve software. I'll get a laptop that's easily compatible. The one I have is a lot like me.. Old and in the way.
Like your channel 👍
Thanks , RYAN you were very informative and have inspired me to give it a try... thank you
Thank you. Another interesting winner. 😊
I've moved out of the burbs of Charlotte NC, into the Daniel Boone National Forest in Kentucky and am doing a lot of the same type of work. I want my family to see what Im doing and why Im always working so a UA-cam Channel seems like a no-brainer for keeping them up to speed. Your video today has helped me come to the decision of moving forward with this idea. The only question I have is - have you considered Live Steaming Q&A sessions for your friends, family, and/or viewers? Thanks for sharing your life. Im enjoying your videos!
Ryan, I subscribe to may channels to learn different things and see what's going on out in the world. Yours is the only channel I watch to have fun and sit back and have a cup of coffee. Don't change a thing.
Just want to say this.... I love your channel and I appreciate all your effort !
Ringworm Affliction has become an Addiction... I like what you were saying about the video numbering Ryan, I like the authentic historical record factor. Cheers just for living... and recording it!
Perfect video, kept asking for this one...
Thanks Ryan
Another hint for being successful. It hits close to where you talked about trolls... When I first watched, I thought this was interesting. But that it probably wouldn't be interesting enough to keep my attention for that long. Still, I subscribed so I could keep up. Then I kind of got hooked. LOL
But what really sealed the deal, was the way you handled my first few comments. See, I truly want to be helpful. But I don't think I have the best communication skills. So, much of the time what I initially say probably comes across sounding like a troll, or a know it all, or something of that sort. (Maybe more than just initially. LOL) Especially if someone is 'looking' for that kind of behavior. (Many 'channel mods', ARE. Jus sayin...)
I asked prying questions, and I made suggestions, because I really wanted to help you to figure things out. At least as much help as a 'comment section' can offer. LOL But I KNOW I looked like a troll. Just couldn't help that. Had no way of figuring out how to change that.
Thing is, you seemed to understand that. And better than that, you took the comments, and guided the conversation. It's obvious that I would not do things the same way that you would. So you expertly deflected what would not work for you, and put a few things, (suggestions), in the toolbag, so to speak. So you might put them to use later, or modify the suggestions, etc.
Point is, you didn't take a troll at face value. You paid attention. Sussed out the intent, and worked with it. And you do this with all the commenters. I think a LARGE part of any successful channel is a willingness to at least try to make a family out of the comments section. Eat the meat, spit out the bones. People begin to feel like part of the family. They WANT to come back. And they bring others because they tell others about the channel.
I'm sorry for the novella of a post. Too many variables to try to explain, and this IS the 'boiled down' version. LOL
Surprise, surprise, surprise. Ryan you always deliverer the goods. I was expecting seeing you working on putting in the floor to the cabin. Glad you are not working in the heat of the day.
Thanks Ryan, A+ content!! Bob in Nevada
Yes

Enjoy your videos, keep it real 💯 good bad and the ugly..
Thanks for sharing .
Great video Ryan! Love your channel
Thank you.
You sir are pretty Rad! Very interesting video! You went deep into your heart on that one. Very sincere! Thank you!
Thanks for this video. I’ve asked a couple other creators to do some videos on how to start and never got a response that was positive.
You always say your not Qualified, but what I've seen you do, you do a pretty damn good job at most everything you do.
I like what you do.
Enjoyed your take on this social media phenomenon, keep it up guy!
I have recently started a channel. Your video did help. Thanks
You are completely entertaining, funny as heck 🤣
I understand you are not a professional but you do have excellent advice 👌
You are no knucklehead in my books.
Stay you
That's why I completely enjoy your channel
Cheers
I've been doing photography for over 37 years full time and as a business. I started doing UA-cam as much for the fun as anything. Just about every video I do someone who probably lives in their parents basement has to criticize my video or what I say in them. I always try and be polite but 90% of the time they come back with insults and foul language so I delete the comments. You can't fix stupid!
