I think the subscribers who stayed, including myself, stayed because of you and your personality. We think you, as a person and TH-camr are very interesting. As long as you keep a variety of content, so nothing gets stale, you’re gonna be just fine. Thank you for entertaining us!
Ditto, yes indeed, your personality makes the show fun to watch. My Patreon subscription was done as an encouragement award to help keep you inspired. Jamie C.
Man, I’m here no matter WHAT you post. I watch for YOU not for anything else. You’re an interesting person, so whatever you post, I’ll watch. It’s also crazy you’re only 80 miles from me. Hope to meet you some day.
Pro tip: Don't do donuts when your camper may be structurally compromised, sauté the garlic first, tell the uninitiated that you added sage and thyme to your dish, calories from fats are necessary in cold climates, Bondo is not flexible and therefore not a good choice for leak prevention. That is all.
Don't know your financial situation but... When was looking for a different camper (because of same problem) I drove the alley ways and left notes on campers asking if they wanted to sell. Got a lot of calls and wound up with an awesome deal. Only took a couple of weeks and a couple of hours leaving notes. Good luck
Don't feel like you HAVE to be out there camping and hiking in order to make content for those who were sour about your apartment. Don't be a slave, you do what makes you happy! I'm sticking around because your personality is awesome regardless of what videos you do. Don't be afraid to do new stuff and drop it on here. We're here for YOU! also Tessa is cool too haha
You are a good human being. Forget about those who unsubscribe you. It's short... Live your journey on how it's design for you. Life is really short. Enjoy it the best you can.
Hi Jonathan, in your last video I congratulated you on the apartment and wished you luck on new adventures and remain 'Subscribed' because it's you, your youth, your enthusiasm, your way of being 'real' that I so enjoy. I think for some, like me (75), who are seniors really enjoy watching someone your age out enjoying "Nature", "Cooking" and just enjoying life as it should be. When I watch your video I smile, and sometimes laugh at somethings, like doing donuts on a snow filled parking lot, ... the thing is you make us happy ... Don't Change .. Merry Christmas. Happy New Year , Richard in Wyoming
Keep your chin up .. enjoy yourself ...as we do right along with you...hey there are a lot of weekend warriors...I personally have always enjoyed cooking shows...you can cook camping, in your apartment...just remember to be you...have a blessed life ...we only get one ...and I feel privileged you allowed us to be a part of it!!
You got my support Jonathan. I’m happy that you do what is best for you, even if it means moving to a new apartment. Congrats and will continue to watch your adventures in life. Keep it up, buddy.
Jonathan....I stay because I enjoy ur channel itself. Love the trips, but your content in whatever you do is fine with me. I agree with other people, the ones that stick around like your channel and YOU. Please do not forget that.
Hi Jonathan! I don't remember when I found your Channel, but I know I binged watched the episodes and really enjoyed them. I mostly watched because of the content, and then watched because I really liked your videos. If you have lost some subs, not to worry, you well gain back a bunch with diversified videos! You are a great videographer, story teller, and nice guy :-). Don't think of this as a set back, think of it as a reinvention of yourself. You know how the saying goes, "Beat the status quo"!!. Continued success! Look forward to more!
Lots of nomad life folks find that if they experience any kind of life change viewers just dump them. This is especially true if they 'settle down' with someone, whether they camp still or not. I see lots of you tubers cater these folks and all it does is hold them back from growing creatively. Honestly it says more about the viewer than it does about you. You are on your own journey and you were excited to share your news. Know that most are still excited to journey with you.
Don't be discouraged too much about the leaking you discovered. I believe you can find then repair the leaks. If I could see the outside of your camper I bet I could help you evaluate the potential area/areas that might be leaking. Im sure you could by yourself but I would love to be able to help you only if I were there. BTW I'm nearly 60 years old now and I really really really enjoy watching your work. Your personality as many have said is a big part of the attraction. You are the only TH-cam channel that I contribute to through Patreon. As a matter of fact I don't contribute to any other TH-cam channel and I am Subscribed to about 10 that I seriously follow. If you just do what makes you happy then the right folks will follow. You be You buddy ! Good Luck !
Your true Subscribers will support you no matter what. I love the adventures in the Slumber Queen also, but realize that it’s your life. I will support you and your channel.
I’m so sorry to hear of those that unfollowed you I watch because I enjoy you you are awesome in general it’s not about the video but rather the one who is doing the video regardless life is a journey and just because your s may have changed it’s still your journey looking forward to any video that you would like to share you are a trooper ❤️💕💕
I am sure you understand your number of subs grew really fast!!! Some people labor for years and don't have the subs you still have. Congrats your cup is half full and not half empty!!!!
So sorry to hear others unsubscribed-they’re loss! I suggest getting a high top shell camper and starting fresh. Much lighter for your truck and easy to upkeep 🏕
Good video as always. As for the water leakage, I would start by removing the outer skin along the bottom and assess the damage, when the weather is nice of course. I too have a vintage camper that has become my hobby. I had extensive water damage along the bottom on one side and minimal damage along the other. I cut out the bad areas and replaced the wood framing with fresh by attaching with wood glue and angle and flat braces. Depending on the type of camper jacks you have, the corners are of special concern as that's where your jacks lift the weight of the camper. I'm sure you can get plenty of ideas off TH-cam on this. Good luck and keep the videos coming. My wife and really enjoy them.
Get a new camper. Thew new truck campers made by Lancer looks amazing. I am looking into one for my self that would fit by 8ft long bed. It looks like you might be putting in a lot of money than the camper is worth.
As long as the videos continue to be relaxing, inspiring and fun loving then I'm here to stay. I come to your channel when I want to wind down and relax.
To those that unsubscribe enjoy your life. The ones that stayed we find enjoyment in your adventures, your youthfulness, your personality, cooking and just you and Tessa. Keep up your videos - enjoy
Always remember water will flow to the lowest spot so water your seeing at the floor could possibly be leaking from the roof somewhere because when I had my palomino unit resealed about 10 years ago its still water tight today there was water coming in at the top where the cab over part is stripped it all apart replaced a few pieces of bridging it was more time consuming than anything else...good video the PNW is stunning to say the least
I like your channel and I'm staying. Suggestions? Did you use silicone to weather proof? Eternabond tape and loose lap sealant would likely have held on the roof and stiff lap sealant for the walls. Silicone may hold but when it fails it seems to do so secretly. Your camper is self destructing all the while the walls and roof aren't sealed and remain wet. The intermediate spaces are staying wet and molding now until they're dried. No matter how well the walls and roof are sealed, if the bed holds water then it will infiltrate the camper, since the camper isn't a boat. So the angle of the truck with respect to the bed is very important for truck campers. I hope this is something for you to consider.
Yo J!!! I’m with you no matter what the content!!! If I was in that same situation, I would drive the Slumber Queen back to LA and leave it at my parents house. You will definitely need a dry and even climate place to clean up all of that wood rot. I would replace the Slumber Queen with the Topper (I think you still have it) and camp with that until you can fix the Slumber Queen. I was stationed at Fort Lewis, and I know how the weather is up there. You could wait until early spring when the rain stops to work on it up there, but you would need a place to store the Slumber Queen, which would be an expense that you do not need. We are with you Brother!! Keep doing you!!
Darryl! I really appreciate your continued support and helpful comments that you leave! You actually read my mind exactly about leaving it with my parents until I have some better weather to rebuild everything back. That’s looking like my best option other than finding a complete new rig and starting over! Anyways, have a blessed day and holidays coming up. Cheers!
You got an apartment… So, I subscribed. Anyone leaving because you got a new home quite possibly could be a poop sandwich. You’re are doing amazing man. I’m here for you 👊🏽🤙🏽
If you are around next summer, come find us and we will take you kayaking to one of the best hidden lakes on Mount hood. No motors allowed on the lake.
Hey Jonathon, let my wife and I welcome you to Oregon. Although, it's stunning to see that you picked the world's most horrible place to live the last two years. We hope your stay will be full of safety and friendship.
Sucks people unsubscribed but your one of my favorite channels. And now you live up by me. Cool. I’ve lived here 14 years now and can’t find these cool spots you have. I did camp at the Trillium parking lot near where you parked and it was so cool. I have a video of it if you’re interested.
I miss the snow, it is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing...you will make up for those subscribers....I am subscribing now..I just started watching you videos and I am a fan. Keep those videos coming...👍
You probably have condensation in that camper. Campers aren't insulated well enough for that kind of winter camping. Also propane produces water as it burns. Using propane for heat and cooking creates a lot more moisture inside. And sealing the outside traps the condensation inside. Also you get moisture from your breathing in the camper and snow on boots/clothing. It all accumulates to quite a bit of moisture inside. You'd be better going south. Find dryer climate. When you're not camping try leaving a light bulb lit inside the camper. The brighter the bulb the better. It'll cook the moisture out.
I think the subscribers who stayed, including myself, stayed because of you and your personality. We think you, as a person and TH-camr are very interesting. As long as you keep a variety of content, so nothing gets stale, you’re gonna be just fine. Thank you for entertaining us!
Exactly!
Same. People were mad about him not doing van/camp life 24/7 there's hundreds of youTubers doing that already so go take your pick.
Ditto, yes indeed, your personality makes the show fun to watch. My Patreon subscription was done as an encouragement award to help keep you inspired. Jamie C.
Agreed
Don't worry, the people that unsubscribed did not really care about the content. Keep doing you!
Very true. Thanks for watching!
I enjoy your channel no matter what you do. Everyone needs a home base.
Man, I’m here no matter WHAT you post. I watch for YOU not for anything else. You’re an interesting person, so whatever you post, I’ll watch. It’s also crazy you’re only 80 miles from me. Hope to meet you some day.
Appreciate the support my dude! Where are you located?
@@JonathanYentch well from Mt. Hood I’m only 80 miles. But I live over here in Bend, Oregon my dude!!
Agreed
There is nothing wrong with having a home base! Love you Jonathan I will be sticking around!! Happy holidays!!

this is so sweet, absolutely agree
Great comment!
I think we all know this is really a cooking show. The nature and camper stuff is a nice distraction in between the meals.
Jonathan forget those who unsubscribe. I like watching you do your thing, and I learn stuff along the way.
Many nomads, getting a home base. I'm here to stay. Do whatever you wish. It's your life. No one business, but yours! Happy travels!!
We are Yentch strong here man!!! My wife and I watch your videos weekly and love them!!! Keep up the great job man!!
Much respect for being honest with your subscribers. Integrity goes along ways. You will rebound.
Just because you got a place to live doesn’t mean to stop making camping videos I like them
❤️🧡💜 your channel!!! Don’t stop… please
Keep your chin up .. enjoy yourself ...as we do right along with you...hey there are a lot of weekend warriors...I personally have always enjoyed cooking shows...you can cook camping, in your apartment...just remember to be you...have a blessed life ...we only get one ...and I feel privileged you allowed us to be a part of it!!

It's ridiculous, how much work you put into getting all these camera shots. I've been meaning to compliment you on that for a while. You rock, dude!
Keep making your videos I appreciate your material

Screw them haters for leaving , MAV, just bought a place too and I bet nobody left him . KEEP DOING WHAT YOUR DOING MAN , and forget the NUMBERS
GONNA BE HERE FOR WHATEVER!!
You can just do slumber queen cooking videos all the time for me and I’m good. Dang I’m hungry now. Great videos and content my man.
Lots of nomad life folks find that if they experience any kind of life change viewers just dump them. This is especially true if they 'settle down' with someone, whether they camp still or not.

To be honest, I'm just here because I think that pickup campers are awesome and the places that are shown on this channel are really interesting.
I like the attendant filling up my gas tank in Oregon.
I can't quit you Jonathan!, YOUDAMAN ! Keep on rolling down the road!
Here for the long haul.
Dude, I’ve been around since you were posting minimalism videos. I’m a true subscriber 😤 and I just enjoy your content.
So beautiful 🤩 Thankyou for sharing!!
Thank you for watching!!
Your very welcome I’ve been watching you since last year how’s your girlfriend? If you don’t mind me asking LOL 😆

I'm not going anywhere, I enjoy all of your video's. I think you are very entertaining!
Jonathan, you HAVE TO FIX THE SLUMBER QUEEN! YOU JUST HAVE TO! Find a storage unit and get her in there and figure it out. Best of luck.
I’m sticking around. Many nomads have been finding home bases recently as well.
Sometimes you just do what feels right at the time!
Still here. Never entertained the idea of leaving. I enjoy your content
Bro you’re a soldier. Keep having adventures for us who haven’t got the time nor balls.
Appreciate your content and video, no matter where you’re based!
Get a new camper. Thew new truck campers made by Lancer looks amazing. I am looking into one for my self that would fit by 8ft long bed. It looks like you might be putting in a lot of money than the camper is worth.
😮WOOOOOOOOW That’s just amazing ❄️☃️Mother Nature is something else 😍✌🏽
I will still watch you, full time camping or not. I really like your cooking videos, maybe you can do more of them! Merry Christmas!
As long as the videos continue to be relaxing, inspiring and fun loving then I'm here to stay. I come to your channel when I want to wind down and relax.
To those that unsubscribe enjoy your life. The ones that stayed we find enjoyment in your adventures, your youthfulness, your personality, cooking and just you and Tessa. Keep up your videos - enjoy
If they dropped you that's THEIR loss. I'm almost 70 and enjoy seeing how other people live. I live in SW Ohio, in Huber Heights.
We should take a vote on ending that thing you do after sipping the coffee.
Always remember water will flow to the lowest spot so water your seeing at the floor could possibly be leaking from the roof somewhere because when I had my palomino unit resealed about 10 years ago its still water tight today there was water coming in at the top where the cab over part is stripped it all apart replaced a few pieces of bridging it was more time consuming than anything else...good video the PNW is stunning to say the least
Watching from Florida.
Thanks for the winter wonderland.
Most of us watch this for you, and Tessa, of course. We're along for the ride and you'll pick up more subscribers.

I like watching you cook because you can get the feel for how it is to be in an camper🥂‼️🤔🇺🇸👍🏻
bro! that opening scene!!! love it
Oh yeah! Here for it!
Blaaaaaam! Another stellar video!
Here for the long haul man, looking forward to your future videos.
Recommend you change the weatherstripping in the windows above the wet walls. Be thorough for the best affect.
Here is your fishing tip for the next time you go. Fish early in the morning at like 5am or later in the evening as the sun starts setting
I’m with you for life man your videos are dope af

Love the views and the music! Thanks for the new video!
Just subscribed, your personality, and how real you are most welcoming.
Great improvement on the video quality!👍
I 'm not going anywhere. Here to stay.
Thanks for all you do . Lots of fun.
Oregon is a beautiful state
Still with you. Bummer with the leaks.
Goofing around in the snowy wonderland - especially in gorgeous Oregon - is absolute joy! I love seeing your genuine joy in living in every moment.
I enjoy your videos! I especially enjoy the cooking videos!
You got an apartment… So, I subscribed. Anyone leaving because you got a new home quite possibly could be a poop sandwich. You’re are doing amazing man. I’m here for you 👊🏽🤙🏽
Nice to meet you today when you got propane at the feed store. We will be watching your journey. Enjoy the PNW. It's beautiful here.
If you are around next summer, come find us and we will take you kayaking to one of the best hidden lakes on Mount hood. No motors allowed on the lake.
It was great meeting you guys as well, you have a great shop! That kayaking trip sounds fun, count me in 👍
I'm still with you. Enjoyed the video. I hate you found more leaks and have problems with the furnace again. Safe travels.
Your awesome and I am sticking around and can’t wait to see what ever you decide to post.
Always remember, with change there will be people you can't take with you. So all those that unsubscribed were meant to go! 💯👍🙏
All right.. back to home on the wheel.. greeting from Indonesia. Happy Holiday !!
My husband and I love watching your adventures! We aren’t going anywhere.
Happy you have a home base I really like your personality. 🙂
Hey Jonathon, let my wife and I welcome you to Oregon. Although, it's stunning to see that you picked the world's most horrible place to live the last two years. We hope your stay will be full of safety and friendship.
Sticking with you, buddy!!!!
You loose some. You'll gain some! Keep em coming!
More cooking videos please .
Sucks people unsubscribed but your one of my favorite channels. And now you live up by me. Cool. I’ve lived here 14 years now and can’t find these cool spots you have. I did camp at the Trillium parking lot near where you parked and it was so cool. I have a video of it if you’re interested.
I'm here because you have a great channel. Couldn't care less where you live. Merry Christmas Jonathan
I miss the snow, it is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing...you will make up for those subscribers....I am subscribing now..I just started watching you videos and I am a fan. Keep those videos coming...👍
I'm cooking on my wife and My Three sons and I'm learning more from you than I did them and I wouldn't know how much I got to cook for people
I am just here to see your adventures, and I like your personality.

Truth is I’ve been subscribed about 6 months and your very resourceful, you love the outdoors and will find a way. Just keep showing us.
Do your thing bro!!!! 👍. I’m with you 😎👍
I love your videos Jonathan. Messed up a bunch unsubscribed but, you'd channel has grown considerably from the olden days huh. Take care buddy!
Tarp it till you get it till repaired, get a temp gun to trace the frozen leaking water.
Welcome to Oregon JY! And keep making videos regardless!
Dude want to say I love your videos and don't let subscribers that left discourage from doing your thing! Keep living it up man!
Next time you can try to put the oil bottle into hot water and let it melt
