      @@jeffclark2725 that damn power probe won’t got away 😂. The only reason I did that deal was to intentionally piss that company off so they would leave me alone. They hounded me every single day for a month before I final decided to agree, and then make a video doing everything the opposite of what they wanted, and beating the hell out of their product. The only problem was that it held up to everything I threw at it, still works great to this day, and they absolutely loved the video and then wanted me to review every product they make 🤦🏻‍♂️

      That's a badass compressor and yes heavyD's videos are nothing but one big long ass commercial. With a nice big clickbait picture and title at the beginning of it that actually has nothing to do with the freaking video. Kinda like you title videos owner upset over cost of tow when as it turns out you didn't charge him anything. So yeah you're just as guilty of the clickbait title.

Just enjoyable to watch with no bullshit and a heart as big as gold when recovering people form the mountains AND working hard to keep the recreational areas around you clean, you care and care big. Also the lovely family, doesn't take a rocket surgeon to know you love your wife and daughter deeply. Hell you've also shown a great repair shop in Elite Fleet, I've said it before I'll say it again that if I'm in the area and my car breaks or needs service...they'll get that work no questions asked.

It was eye opening to see you with the same kind of personal poop pouch I had to wear. I have had the reversable surgery with a new small colon. My Father had the same surgery but passed away with multiple cancer zones. Thought I was headed for the same outcome. Seeing you swim in the lake with it on? Amazed me with new hope. At 64, I didn't think I could be amazed again. From just west of the St. Louis Arch I say THANK YOU! Thank you so much for that! If I ever get to Oregon, I would like to work for you.

    FWIW, I found you via the algorithm suggestions after I subscribed to Matt's channel, and was amazed that (a) someone is doing this fairly close to where I live and (b) you are doing it essentially for free to those who need it. I applaud your ethics, transparency, and honesty. Your channel is among my favorites. And thanks much for cleaning up the lawn mower; it was an eyesore.

A tiny thing I can do to ensure you are always able to help the people you do. Thanks for being the awesome and honest person you are!!!

  • @AmplifyDIY
    @AmplifyDIY 2 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Hey Casey - Great overview of all the ways channels earn revenue! I also hate the term "influencer", and I have also turned down every attempt from advertisers / companies to try to get me to feature products in exchange for cash. Everything you see on my channel is stuff I bought with my own money, and I use it because it's a good product. As you mentioned, every channel is completely different, and for me, TH-cam is still just a fun hobby and creative outlet. Maybe someday it'll be my full-time gig, but for now, I'm just thrilled with how many people I've been able to help through my videos. Earning some ad revenue along the way has been super cool, but is not and hopefully will never be the main motivation for my channel's existence. Keep up the great work!

    I got directed to your channel from seeing you on Matt’s Offroad, and I have actually met you in person a few times. Since moving to Oregon from Utah a year ago, you channel has also helped me find out about places around Oregon to explore. I’d love to explore with you some day, I’m in the Portland area. Also, I’d love to help on a recovery sometime too, especially if it was around the Portland area. I have 18 years of Search and Rescue experience too. Anyways, all that rambling aside, I thought this was a very interesting video, and I think it’s very cool that you do it out of the desire to help people. I understand that as all my search and rescue time was volunteer, but where I didn’t get paid in money, I made up for in experiences and gaining skill sets that helped me advance in other areas of live. Good things generally do come back around. Keep up the great work and interesting candid videos!

After dealing with psychotic drivers in four wheelers all I wanted to do is get as far away from the city as I could. I ended up buying 100 acres with a cabin in rural Washington. Same kind of scenery here as in Oregon. I feel more at peace away from civilization. I really enjoy your channel, however, I can't stand the commercials. Thank you for explaining the sponsorship thing. Keep up the good work Casey.

    I think everyone appreciates the candor that you give in your videos, especially this one.
    I was also thinking that you don't really need to apologize for commenting on other channels. The comments are straightforward and I didn't think there was any malice behind the comments. You shouldn't have to apologize for honest opinions.
    I also am glad to hear that subscriptions don't matter as much. I came to know of your channel through MORR, and it has grown on me. In fact, I really like that you love being in the outdoors like I do, so that's a big draw to me. Your comment in this video about the view of the lake in the mountains away from people is paradise struck a chord with me. I don't think others understand my same feelings.... carry on. I'll look forward to more content.

    Well, let's see what I have learned from/about Casey Ladelle. ( I have been following you about 1 year.) 1) You have an ostomy bag. I have a co-worker that has one. I knew a bit about that. When you dove into the water I IMMEDIATELY thought about your bag. I should have known it was good because you don't let that stop you. 2) You are a good fabricator, welder, etc. I think maybe people took what you said about Paul the wrong way. You made the statement that just because someone is on "TH-cam" doesn't make them an expert and people took that to mean you were talking about Paul when, in fact, you weren't. 3) It may have taken you 59 minutes to explain everything, but in the end, it isn't the money that is important; a person rarely meets someone with your character. Great video!

All those people who built houses out there to be in the woods go up and down that road all day long, some of them 5 times at least. Always going to town after a cup of coffee, or to get their mail, or for groceries, and then who knows the other couple times. 😂
