Rory I met you a while back coming back from a Mastodon concert in Albuquerque. I told you how much my little five year old loved Trailmater and without hesitation you gave me a free shirt for him. That really told me a lot about you. I watch all your videos. Not only do you guys do the best recoveries in the best place in the world but the rigs you build are amazing. The thing I really come back for is your no bullshit attitude and the camaraderie with Sean and Mike. Not only are you an excellent TH-camr but you seem like an awesome dude as well. Always keep it real man. That’s your best attribute.
Rory is one of few youtubers whos been at this for a while now, and still has his original crew, that speaks volumes to how he is when the camera isn't around
@@paddyoohh3882 Isn''t that the truth! Shawn lights up the show with that infectious laugh! I have friends in AZ that are Navajo, and they, too, have a wonderful viewpoint and keep things bright, cheerful, and as they say, "walking in beauty!"
Yes it takes money 💰 to do well but when you dont sell out we respect you for being you & keeping it real , ive been here since 37,k & never feel like you have changed like soo many channels. Morr r. Layton & I shouldnt mentioned names , but i keep it real like , yall .
Yes, AND we all hate ads, because AD MEN are full of poo. Rory doesn't lie to us and neither should companies. Because of advertising, I dropped my cable and turned off the radio in 2007. I've missed over 1 million ads as a result of that WONDERFUL decision. After that, I got Amazon Prime, Netflix, and YT, all of which didn't initially have ads. As of 2024 ALL OF THEM DO, and I have to pay $40 a month JUST to NOT have any effin' ads.
You and Casey Ladelle are the 2 most genuine dudes on TH-cam making it work without sacrificing your values and what makes you who you are. Keep it going!
For you saying your a horrible TH-camr, makes you a better TH-camr each and every day! It’s very humble speaking, for someone that makes content, their always trying to do more and do better than the rest. You keep it simple, down to earth, and you don’t sugar coat anything! Much respect to you Rory and your crew. I hope to meet you one day! 🤙🏻🤘🏻
I think you sticking to your roots and not selling out is one of the best things about you and your channel. I have been disappointed and lost respect for many TH-cam channels because they have sold out cheap! I can’t stand to listen to someone reading from a script.
I usually just skip over those ad reads on other channels. I get why they take them because those things pay the bills and keep their channels running. As consumers, we can just chose to ignore the ads and enjoy the content those ads bring. That said, it sure is nice that Rory or Mike don't suddenly start discussing DraftKings.
@ since I can remember the Beetles debut on the Ed Sullivan show, what adds show up are either ED or how the make it bigger and last longer! Neither are a problem with me.
I am a 62 year old and love your channel and the content is truly real and authentic. It is amazing how so many people run out of talent as soon as they leave the pavement. Keep doing what you are doing and I will keep watching.
I really like that you promote local, small businesses. You are one of the best youtubers because of you and the people you work with. Keep it up, and please don't burn out. Thanks
I watch your channel because you are real. No stupid hype, no gimmicks just really interesting content. I appreciate your honesty, and how you interact with the internet experts. Stick to your convictions it makes you different to the rest.
Trail Mater is the only channel that I watch every video to the end with no skipping. You may not be the best at squeezing every last penny out of TH-cam, but you have the best content.
I watched him do so many recoveries around Moab that when I went there on my dirt bike I felt like I didn't even need my map that's how much I love his stuff.
Youve got integrity and good business sense to keep using what works best for your central business model - recovery and trail repair. I 100% applaud you for staying true to you. I will keep watching and recommending your channel and business for this very reason. Don’t let TH-cam and other “influencers” change you. Keep being real. We trust that.
When the sales pitch starts on other channels, I start questioning whether I can trust anything they say. I like this channel because it's genuine - just three smart, relatable guys getting stuff done as best they can, no angles, no BS. That said, I don't have a problem with "this is a product I use and like, particularly since the vendor looks after us".
I like that he said BFG dropped him as a sponsor, and he's still using their product, that says he actually believes in the product, and wasn't just pushing it based on a sponsorship. Just another way you can tell he's genuine
This is one of the few channels I watch constantly and subscribe to. I like good and honest content without unnecessary drama. You guys remind me so much of the kind of people I grew up around. Just honest hard working people who weren't out to scam folks for a dollar. Nothing wrong with being a good man and applying that to all other endeavors. You may not end up wealthy but money is not king. Trust and integrity are far more valuable.
You are not horrible in any way, you are just a straight person and business owner. Not a fancy TH-cam guy who blowing stuff up…… it’s great to see that you are different. And that’s making you unique and integer.
Well after fighting the government for 3 years, I finally got my SSDI and was able to order a hoodie. Been wanting one forever and your little speech on the way to Colorado reminded me. I've been following since the beginning. Thanks
If you're going to call yourself a horrible TH-camr, I'm going to say, I really like horrible TH-camrs. What I like Rory, is that you stay true to yourself and your values. And that's why I'm here. That's why I comment. That's why I 'like'. Take care.
Sounds like a great idea for a shirt or a hoodie. Rory, keep doing what you're doing. Like many others have said, so many people selling out to these sponsors. Happy New Year Rory, Mike, Shawn and your families.
Keep doing what you doing! you are great real Person on youtube just like in real life we met you few years back and you are Simple guy and we appreciate your honest feedback on equipment and Products you support. We don't care for youtubers that try too hard to be liked or chase views!
Nothing horrible about being genuine. It's one reason why I'm subscribed. 🤝 I hope companies with products you can get behind of, realize the value of being genuine and will work with you because of that, without strings attached.
Rory, I have been watching you from the beginning, back when you didn't talk! lol You have become one of the best TH-camrs out there, you might even be the best as you give everything you do 100% and it shows, plus being the most down to earth guy on TH-cam and having an excellent crew to back you. It's a complete package for success, so just keep doing what your doing! Appreciate you not advertising products unless you believe in them, You are Awesome.
Rory, because you are a great recovery guy, is why you are a great TH-camr. You build equipment that is durable and strong, and as a man, you are solid. There is no hype or BS. What you know you learned from experience. The best I can do is like, subscribe and comment.
You say your a horrible TH-camr but that's probably what people like about your videos , it's all real and no fake drama with omg faces in the thumbnail, I love the channel.
I for one respect and admire your integrity and I’m sure those attributes are one of the big reasons for your followers. Just keep being you. I always look forward to your videos.
Rory, your moral and ethical compass is spot on, and I love how committed you are to making the best choices, regardless of the "prize" on the other side. Thanks for being a guiding light of doing the right thing, even if it's not "popular".
Rory don't ever change. You've got morals and integrity that's becoming extinct now days. You are better quality than anything you could ever sell out for! Appreciate you and giving us this channel.
I’ve always appreciated how honest and true you are. There isn’t a lot of people who are willing to stay honest. Thanks for the videos and everything you’ve done for people.
Rory, as I watched this video, I had a few things come to mind. While you are recording in Blue, I kept seeing all the different stickers on the ceiling and that you had 2 Yankum rope ones. At the end I almost cried because you are so genuine and true to you, and that is one of the reasons why I LOVE you and your channel. Every time I see You giving a heart to my Comment, as you about the only channel that does, I thank You Rory in person out loud because I REALLY appreciate it. I can only hope for 2025 That you and Chris have happiness and love and that you all just stay the same.
You are an awesome youtuber and a great guy, man. You don't have to be like the other big channels. That's what makes trail mater unique and fun to watch. You make your own rules and keep doing what you're doing because I'm here for it 👍
Man that was a great. From exposing some of your personal stuff that makes you a real person to maintaining your integrity in what you promote. Thumbs up
I love everything about your channel. One of the things that sets you apart is the lack of adds. That's very cool. The other thing is your integrity and honesty, which is outstanding. And, of course, all the amazing stuff you do is the best. Don't go changing.
As a 77 year old farm kid! I would have put the truck duals on the spare tires to get the back of the trailer closer to the ground. We did it all the time to load long, low equipment. You guys a fun to watch, doing serious things!
You may not be the best You Tuber out there but the content & interactions with Mike & Shawn make this channel one of my favourites. The honesty & integrity is genuine here. Never sacrifice your honesty & dignity for what other people think. Thanks for sharing.
Really appreciate that heart felt discussion about promoting stuff. I equally appreciate your integrity Rory. It’s something very often missing in today’s business owners. Best wishes. Don.
Thank you for spending so much effort on researching what you promote. So many TH-camrs, even genuine ones, promote things that are HORRIBLE for the consumer. A lot of those TH-camrs would probably cut a lot of sponsors if they put the effort into researching their promotions like you do. Your trucks are second to none, your vibes are wholesome, your team is fantastic, and you put tremendous effort into what you do. Keep on Keep'n on guys!
Rory you do you brother. I've never fallen off watching your channel like I have the others. You're very specific on who you support and who you're supporting. I've ordered your stuff, shoot I wear it when I'm on my own channel. I very much appreciate and enjoy your channel because it's real stuff doing recovery doing repairs. You do what I want to build my channel into, I very much appreciate your channel and your knowledge of real life issues and outlooks. Thank you for your service sir please be safe and keep up with the great videos. Thank you Rory.
I truely love how we're just watching a normal show and then Rory lays everything out. I prefer this to a sit down talk show but that's just me. These guys are honest and awesome. Keep up the great work!!
Rory, First things first " Much respect " for not selling out to make $. As far as being a youtuber, your not horrible. So many of us watch and LEARN from your shop videos and recovery videos. We respect your oppinion on products seeing as how you have the experience using and seeing what works and what don't. As far as the content, it's 💯! Enterraing for sure. Do you bro. Oh and Mike & Shawn keep up the good work.
RORY, YOU ARE THE BEST!!! PEOPLE ARE GOING TO ASK A WEALTHY MAN FOR EVERYTHING!!!! SO YOU SHOULD BE WHO YOU ARE AND GO WITH YOUR HEART ...... YOU ARE WEALTHY AND YOU'RE BEING ASKED????
"Majestic Beast", thanks Mike! Rory- your honest thoughts are so much appreciated. Its gotta be hard in the current paradigm. Thank you to yourself, Mike, and Shawn for being honest, transparent people. Very rare these days...
I watch this channel for many things and one thing I really respect is the honesty, integrity and humility you guys bring to the reality of bringing this channel to life. Thank you
Cory, look at your fan base. You make ALL of us happy with your content. You and Mike and Shawn make me smile all the time. I am 76 and loving your channel the way it is.
One of the reasons I watch and support this channel is your integrity and honesty. Another is watching your recoveries and repair and build videos. You would not find me out on those trails but I marvel on your abilities. Finally, watching the interactions with Mike, Shawn, and yourself is awesome. To get to work with good friends would make going to work everyday easy. Thanks for a great channel.
Hey from cold Hesperus CO tonight ... love your honesty and openess about youtube and working with and working thru the sponsor. " Hey, promote us and ALL our stuff".... stay true
Rory I watch Trail Mater because I like the recoveries and the laughter and the scenery and the experience you 3 have with vehicles and the fabrication your channel shows us the viewers, your honesty about food or useless products makes your channel watchable, thanks Rory, Shawn and Mike
Old guy here, disabled vet, and Grampa. Thank you for what you do. I’ve been watching from the times a fellow TH-camr’s wife pushed you to start recording what you do. I’ve known some recovery guys and know it’s a special group. You had the humility to point out your editor who made you and your team more human for the rest of us to see. As a grampa I have a soft spot for Lilly and enjoy when she graces the screen. Keep your friends close and protect your family. Thanks for letting us in for a peek.
You are my kind of TH-camr Rory! You don't sell out and you promote the products you believe in. Mike and Shawn are pretty terrific as well! I don't miss a video.
An honest TH-camr. So many monetize their channels with false information and click bait it’s really refreshing to watch a bunch of guys have fun doing what they love to do. Keep it up.
Rory, you and the guys are one of the most genuine TH-cam channels there is. Way too many off-road channels have fallen victim to “all content has to be EPIC!!!”, and it just comes across as fake. We all appreciate the effort you and the crew put into the channel for our entertainment. Keep doing what you’re doing!
Don't ever change Rory. Your honesty and integrity is what makes you and your channel so great. I struggle with mental health issues myself, particularly right now and your content is a wonderful distraction, I can't thank you enough for that. I love that banter you have with Mike and Shawn, you guys are awesome 👍 Keep up the great work 👍
I never miss a video from you, because I want your channel to stay. I have watched you recover some of my friends on here. And I especially like to see your builds.
Love the honesty, integrity, honor, and bravery displayed by the whole Trailmater team - it's people like you that make America so great, with work ethic combined with drive and ingenuity and honesty, such a rare combination these days! That's what makes Trailmater great, and you've got so many fans up here in the Frozen North, and you might just be the best tourism promoter in SE Utah!
Ya know my friend the reason i watch this program is because of your honesty and i happen to think your a great tuber if i didnt you wouldnt be on my pad!! Your doing fantastic
I'm in the UK. You are one of the very very few I've bought merch from as the cost of shipping can be more than the merch. I had one of the first batches of the Diamond Bill Rock Pecker Ts. I enjoy having to explain Mikes stories when im teaching 4x4 driving 😂 Your honesty and integrity (and awesome skill) is what is why I keep watching.
Rory, you and your team are the most genuine "TH-camr's" that I watch. The honesty you have and being able to laugh when things don't go as planned is refreshing. To me, you three are superstars and yet, your willing to openly share that you have struggled with depression most of your life. Keep doing what you, Shawn, and Mike are doing. I wish you only success in all you do.
Thanks you for speaking openly about advertising and sponsorship. I recognize that it's not something that is easy or you need to share with your viewers but know that the transparency is a big part of what makes you and your channel a pleasure to watch.
Rory, Mike Shawn, and Justin you guys put out the best real content on TH-cam. I like your channel the way it is. I love the no bs and fake vibes. You tell it like it is, if you couldn’t film something because of lighting or technical issues no big deal or delay of recovery just for the cameras. Rory you said it before you are a business doing business with a TH-cam channel on the side. Kept real guys. 👍✌️
I try to buy some of your merchandise every other month or so. Im glad that it helps you out. I don't think that my channel will ever grow big enough for me to have merchandise haha.
I love the TH-cam nation and the recovery folks in general. I have noticed, on my own, how the product promotion is going. One of my favorite sayings is “follow the money.” I appreciate that you are sticking to your guns on only promoting what you “really” like and use. For what its worth, all you potential sponsors, I don’t buy products that I am sure are being promoted for the money. When I feel they are promoted due to a true belief in and like of that product I will purchase them. Thanks for the honesty Rory! Now all you advertisers, make products worth their salt!
I have always believed that a man's worth is equal to the worth of his word. None of us are perfect, but men like you make a much better role model than most sports stars or celebrities. When you are having a hard time, just think of the great lessons that you are teaching your daughter. And keep up the great work!!
Being a horrible youtuber makes this channel so unique and great, so don't change guys.
Which makes him a great TH-camr. 😂😂😂😂😊😊😊😊
He is not horrible, he meant humble😊
Came here to say this, and big kudos being open about depression.
I agree, your the best Horrible TH-camr that I watch. Keep doing what you do Rory!
118 thanks Rory
Rory I met you a while back coming back from a Mastodon concert in Albuquerque. I told you how much my little five year old loved Trailmater and without hesitation you gave me a free shirt for him. That really told me a lot about you. I watch all your videos. Not only do you guys do the best recoveries in the best place in the world but the rigs you build are amazing. The thing I really come back for is your no bullshit attitude and the camaraderie with Sean and Mike. Not only are you an excellent TH-camr but you seem like an awesome dude as well. Always keep it real man. That’s your best attribute.
Rory is one of few youtubers whos been at this for a while now, and still has his original crew, that speaks volumes to how he is when the camera isn't around
Your honesty and integrity is very much appreciated.
God bless the horrible TH-camrs with honesty and integrity!
@@pat8988 and empathy, kindness, and ?
Worst youtuber ever!!! And better for it 👍
Having Mike around is the best cure for depression.
And Shawn!
@@anneott Shawns laugh,, always sounds like he is having fun.
@@paddyoohh3882 Isn''t that the truth! Shawn lights up the show with that infectious laugh! I have friends in AZ that are Navajo, and they, too, have a wonderful viewpoint and keep things bright, cheerful, and as they say, "walking in beauty!"
Mike is a majestic beast.
What about Sean's laugh? It makes me happy!
You are one of the few remaining good ones that realizes morals and character are more important than money. Keep up the good work we appreciate you!
Yes it takes money 💰 to do well but when you dont sell out we respect you for being you & keeping it real , ive been here since 37,k & never feel like you have changed like soo many channels. Morr r. Layton & I shouldnt mentioned names , but i keep it real like , yall .
Indeed!
Yup, those give aways are cringe
Gotta pay the bills - and they never get smaller. Wishing Rory, Shawn, and Mike a prosperous year - you all deserve it.
Yep, agree!
I appreciate your candid comments; part of the reason your channel is worth watching, thanks!
I agree your straightforward and honest
Rory you sound like one hell of an honest man. You have my respect and respect goes one hell of a long ways in my book.
A youtuber with principles is a rare thing Rory, we do appreciate you.
Yes, AND we all hate ads, because AD MEN are full of poo. Rory doesn't lie to us and neither should companies. Because of advertising, I dropped my cable and turned off the radio in 2007. I've missed over 1 million ads as a result of that WONDERFUL decision. After that, I got Amazon Prime, Netflix, and YT, all of which didn't initially have ads. As of 2024 ALL OF THEM DO, and I have to pay $40 a month JUST to NOT have any effin' ads.
Casey is the same way.
It sucks having morals now days 😂 18:31
You and Casey Ladelle are the 2 most genuine dudes on TH-cam making it work without sacrificing your values and what makes you who you are. Keep it going!
^ This... Amen!
Thanks for the honesty on the products you use. It's hard to find someone that's not a sellout. Keep up the excellent job that you do on TH-cam.
For you saying your a horrible TH-camr, makes you a better TH-camr each and every day! It’s very humble speaking, for someone that makes content, their always trying to do more and do better than the rest. You keep it simple, down to earth, and you don’t sugar coat anything! Much respect to you Rory and your crew. I hope to meet you one day! 🤙🏻🤘🏻
I think you sticking to your roots and not selling out is one of the best things about you and your channel. I have been disappointed and lost respect for many TH-cam channels because they have sold out cheap! I can’t stand to listen to someone reading from a script.
Dam !!!!! Sooooo true .
Amen to that! Rory, I'll watch you, Shawn and Mike up until you guys decide to ditch You Tube but until then keep doing what you're doing!
I usually just skip over those ad reads on other channels. I get why they take them because those things pay the bills and keep their channels running. As consumers, we can just chose to ignore the ads and enjoy the content those ads bring. That said, it sure is nice that Rory or Mike don't suddenly start discussing DraftKings.

Imagine being upset because somebody is earning a living…
Love you and your channel Rory and appreciate your integrity.
I’m wearing my Trailmater hoodie to work this week down in Tucson! ❤️👍
Rory on a rant about the hassles of dealing with sponsors, but it's from the heart. I love it.
I am a 62 year old and love your channel and the content is truly real and authentic. It is amazing how so many people run out of talent as soon as they leave the pavement. Keep doing what you are doing and I will keep watching.
Exactly, I'll be watching too. 👍🏼 Very good comment sir. 🇺🇸 God Bless America 🇺🇸
I really like that you promote local, small businesses. You are one of the best youtubers because of you and the people you work with. Keep it up, and please don't burn out. Thanks
Especially those with decent, it doesn't have to be very good or special, places to eat in Moab.
I watch your channel because you are real. No stupid hype, no gimmicks just really interesting content. I appreciate your honesty, and how you interact with the internet experts.
Stick to your convictions it makes you different to the rest.
Trail Mater is the only channel that I watch every video to the end with no skipping. You may not be the best at squeezing every last penny out of TH-cam, but you have the best content.
I also watch Matt's off-road as well, the absolute 2 best ones,, content, crew, and the commeraderie,
me too... the others are tooooo long and I often skip the others... but Justin as Trailmater dialed in!
I watched him do so many recoveries around Moab that when I went there on my dirt bike I felt like I didn't even need my map that's how much I love his stuff.
This is so true, it’s also the only channel I don’t press the skip ad button 😅
Youve got integrity and good business sense to keep using what works best for your central business model - recovery and trail repair.
I 100% applaud you for staying true to you.
I will keep watching and recommending your channel and business for this very reason.
Don’t let TH-cam and other “influencers” change you.
Keep being real. We trust that.
Integrity is premium because at the end of the day it's your reputation on the line.
Thanks for your Integrity

You ROCK! Your honesty and integrity comes right through.The world needs more decent people like you.
Your open, frank and honest approach is what makes your channel great, keep doing it, you guys are great!
Rory, you are a good man. And that is one of the biggest reasons I watch your channel.
I watched him do so many recoveries on slick Rock in Hell's Revenge that when I finally went there I felt like I knew my way around the first time.
@DavePKW that's truly a fact, there's too many that like him here.
This is one of the few channels I watch constantly and subscribe to. I like good and honest content without unnecessary drama. You guys remind me so much of the kind of people I grew up around.

It’s amazing how far you and your team have come is just a few years and how much the channel has grown.
I enjoy watching your channel because you get the job done efficiently and safely, no trips down the road on the struggle bus, pun intended, hahaha !
You are not horrible in any way, you are just a straight person and business owner. Not a fancy TH-cam guy who blowing stuff up…… it’s great to see that you are different. And that’s making you unique and integer.

So you're saying genuine, ethical, companies then? I agree.
I like the fact that you just care about what actually works , for you , and don't put out fake information just for money! You guys rock!
No BS. I appreciate your honesty. Life's hard, you guys make it better.
Your integrity means a lot ! Thank you
And Shawn and Mike are like blood brothers to you. God bless all of you.
Love you guys & love the channel Don't ever change the way you do things!

BEST AD EVER
Looks like the Partridge Family bus from the 1970's 🎸🎶 was Shawn singing "I think I love you" as he hauled it?🎵 😆
Humble and honest.You my friend are a great human. Your whole operation is great Mike and Shawn are also great' keep on keeping on,
Rory,
your moral and ethical compass is spot on, and I love how committed you are to making the best choices, regardless of the "prize" on the other side.
Thanks for being a guiding light of doing the right thing, even if it's not "popular".
Rory don't ever change. You've got morals and integrity that's becoming extinct now days. You are better quality than anything you could ever sell out for! Appreciate you and giving us this channel.
Thank you for what you do, please don't change and continue to be honest.
I have said it before " Trail Mater " ish my favorite TH-cam channel even if other people don't like it . true honesty is hard to find .
MR. Irish, you have integrity and therefore you struggle with tempting offers and your moral compass keeps you straight. Thanks!
That Rant is why we all watch this channel, stick to your guns Rory!
I’ve always appreciated how honest and true you are. There isn’t a lot of people who are willing to stay honest. Thanks for the videos and everything you’ve done for people.
Rory, as I watched this video, I had a few things come to mind. While you are recording in Blue, I kept seeing all the different stickers on the ceiling and that you had 2 Yankum rope ones.

I can only hope for 2025 That you and Chris have happiness and love and that you all just stay the same.
You are an awesome youtuber and a great guy, man. You don't have to be like the other big channels. That's what makes trail mater unique and fun to watch. You make your own rules and keep doing what you're doing because I'm here for it 👍
Amen, brother!!!
Man that was a great. From exposing some of your personal stuff that makes you a real person to maintaining your integrity in what you promote. Thumbs up
I love everything about your channel. One of the things that sets you apart is the lack of adds. That's very cool. The other thing is your integrity and honesty, which is outstanding. And, of course, all the amazing stuff you do is the best. Don't go changing.
Don't compromise or cater. Being you (all you guys!) and how you do your thing is what makes you fun and educational. Never change!
As a 77 year old farm kid! I would have put the truck duals on the spare tires to get the back of the trailer closer to the ground. We did it all the time to load long, low equipment. You guys a fun to watch, doing serious things!
You may not be the best You Tuber out there but the content & interactions with Mike & Shawn make this channel one of my favourites. The honesty & integrity is genuine here. Never sacrifice your honesty & dignity for what other people think. Thanks for sharing.
Really appreciate that heart felt discussion about promoting stuff. I equally appreciate your integrity Rory. It’s something very often missing in today’s business owners. Best wishes. Don.
Thank you for spending so much effort on researching what you promote. So many TH-camrs, even genuine ones, promote things that are HORRIBLE for the consumer. A lot of those TH-camrs would probably cut a lot of sponsors if they put the effort into researching their promotions like you do.
Your trucks are second to none, your vibes are wholesome, your team is fantastic, and you put tremendous effort into what you do. Keep on Keep'n on guys!
Absolutely one of the most authentic channels on YT today! You guys are my go to for binge watching TH-cam every day!
Rory you do you brother. I've never fallen off watching your channel like I have the others. You're very specific on who you support and who you're supporting. I've ordered your stuff, shoot I wear it when I'm on my own channel. I very much appreciate and enjoy your channel because it's real stuff doing recovery doing repairs. You do what I want to build my channel into, I very much appreciate your channel and your knowledge of real life issues and outlooks. Thank you for your service sir please be safe and keep up with the great videos. Thank you Rory.
I truely love how we're just watching a normal show and then Rory lays everything out. I prefer this to a sit down talk show but that's just me. These guys are honest and awesome. Keep up the great work!!
Thanks for taking care of my friend, Travis.
Rory, First things first
" Much respect " for not selling out to make $. As far as being a youtuber, your not horrible. So many of us watch and LEARN from your shop videos and recovery videos. We respect your oppinion on products seeing as how you have the experience using and seeing what works and what don't. As far as the content, it's 💯! Enterraing for sure. Do you bro. Oh and Mike & Shawn keep up the good work.
Your honesty is what keeps you #1 in my books. Pleeeeeeeeeeaase keep it coming.
RORY, YOU ARE THE BEST!!! PEOPLE ARE GOING TO ASK A WEALTHY MAN FOR EVERYTHING!!!! SO YOU SHOULD BE WHO YOU ARE AND GO WITH YOUR HEART ...... YOU ARE WEALTHY AND YOU'RE BEING ASKED????
Good recovery guy, and you seem like an overall good person. Keep being you! At the end of the day, that's why people watch your channel.
"Majestic Beast", thanks Mike!
Rory- your honest thoughts are so much appreciated. Its gotta be hard in the current paradigm. Thank you to yourself, Mike, and Shawn for being honest, transparent people. Very rare these days...
I watch this channel for many things and one thing I really respect is the honesty, integrity and humility you guys bring to the reality of bringing this channel to life. Thank you
Cory, look at your fan base. You make ALL of us happy with your content. You and Mike and Shawn make me smile all the time. I am 76 and loving your channel the way it is.
Sir maybe you haven't heard his name correctly, his name is Rory.
Best , honest and most entertaining Chanel on you tube. I hope you guys keep your integrity and honesty high . Best to all in this new year.
We love your guys integrity. Never compromise yourself for any of us slobs. Admire you for holding to your standards.
One of the reasons I watch and support this channel is your integrity and honesty. Another is watching your recoveries and repair and build videos. You would not find me out on those trails but I marvel on your abilities. Finally, watching the interactions with Mike, Shawn, and yourself is awesome. To get to work with good friends would make going to work everyday easy. Thanks for a great channel.
Hey from cold Hesperus CO tonight ... love your honesty and openess about youtube and working with and working thru the sponsor. " Hey, promote us and ALL our stuff".... stay true
I think honesty is key! People gravitate towards honest channels! Thanks
Rory I watch Trail Mater because I like the recoveries and the laughter and the scenery and the experience you 3 have with vehicles and the fabrication your channel shows us the viewers, your honesty about food or useless products makes your channel watchable, thanks Rory, Shawn and Mike
All good. Keep being you. They need you! God bless you and your families Aloha and amen
Old guy here, disabled vet, and Grampa. Thank you for what you do. I’ve been watching from the times a fellow TH-camr’s wife pushed you to start recording what you do. I’ve known some recovery guys and know it’s a special group. You had the humility to point out your editor who made you and your team more human for the rest of us to see. As a grampa I have a soft spot for Lilly and enjoy when she graces the screen. Keep your friends close and protect your family. Thanks for letting us in for a peek.
You are my kind of TH-camr Rory! You don't sell out and you promote the products you believe in. Mike and Shawn are pretty terrific as well! I don't miss a video.
An honest TH-camr. So many monetize their channels with false information and click bait it’s really refreshing to watch a bunch of guys have fun doing what they love to do. Keep it up.
Rory, you and the guys are one of the most genuine TH-cam channels there is. Way too many off-road channels have fallen victim to “all content has to be EPIC!!!”, and it just comes across as fake.
We all appreciate the effort you and the crew put into the channel for our entertainment. Keep doing what you’re doing!
Keep doing what you're doing. That's why I watch. The Trailmater crew IS the REAL DEAL.
I agree, "Your honesty and integrity is very much appreciated." Stay true to YOU.
Don't ever change Rory. Your honesty and integrity is what makes you and your channel so great.
I struggle with mental health issues myself, particularly right now and your content is a wonderful distraction, I can't thank you enough for that. I love that banter you have with Mike and Shawn, you guys are awesome 👍
Keep up the great work 👍
Stick to your guns!! It what makes this channel great
I enjoy your channel, great content, enjoy the laughter. Just keep it up. Advertise, give away, we'll be here.. like your integrity and humbleness..
I never miss a video from you, because I want your channel to stay. I have watched you recover some of my friends on here. And I especially like to see your builds.
Love the honesty, integrity, honor, and bravery displayed by the whole Trailmater team - it's people like you that make America so great, with work ethic combined with drive and ingenuity and honesty, such a rare combination these days! That's what makes Trailmater great, and you've got so many fans up here in the Frozen North, and you might just be the best tourism promoter in SE Utah!
Ya know my friend the reason i watch this program is because of your honesty and i happen to think your a great tuber if i didnt you wouldnt be on my pad!! Your doing fantastic
I'm in the UK. You are one of the very very few I've bought merch from as the cost of shipping can be more than the merch.
I had one of the first batches of the Diamond Bill Rock Pecker Ts. I enjoy having to explain Mikes stories when im teaching 4x4 driving 😂
Your honesty and integrity (and awesome skill) is what is why I keep watching.
Sometimes less is more, the community you're building here is unique and full of good folks.
Rory, you and your team are the most genuine "TH-camr's" that I watch. The honesty you have and being able to laugh when things don't go as planned is refreshing. To me, you three are superstars and yet, your willing to openly share that you have struggled with depression most of your life. Keep doing what you, Shawn, and Mike are doing. I wish you only success in all you do.
Just be true to yourself and we’ll keep watching and supporting you.
Thanks you for speaking openly about advertising and sponsorship. I recognize that it's not something that is easy or you need to share with your viewers but know that the transparency is a big part of what makes you and your channel a pleasure to watch.
Rory, Mike Shawn, and Justin you guys put out the best real content on TH-cam.
I like your channel the way it is. I love the no bs and fake vibes. You tell it like it is, if you couldn’t film something because of lighting or technical issues no big deal or delay of recovery just for the cameras.
Rory you said it before you are a business doing business with a TH-cam channel on the side.
Kept real guys. 👍✌️
I try to buy some of your merchandise every other month or so. Im glad that it helps you out. I don't think that my channel will ever grow big enough for me to have merchandise haha.
I love the TH-cam nation and the recovery folks in general. I have noticed, on my own, how the product promotion is going. One of my favorite sayings is “follow the money.” I appreciate that you are sticking to your guns on only promoting what you “really” like and use. For what its worth, all you potential sponsors, I don’t buy products that I am sure are being promoted for the money. When I feel they are promoted due to a true belief in and like of that product I will purchase them. Thanks for the honesty Rory! Now all you advertisers, make products worth their salt!
I have always believed that a man's worth is equal to the worth of his word. None of us are perfect, but men like you make a much better role model than most sports stars or celebrities. When you are having a hard time, just think of the great lessons that you are teaching your daughter. And keep up the great work!!
