    Matt, I’m one of your older viewers, and by that I mean I’m old. I am your dad’s age. The years in which your dad and I were raised were simple, and you didn’t really have to worry about your neighbors or people for that matter. But my grandkids, a couple of them in their late teens and early twenties, who have social media pages, have had problems with psychos stalking them. But you being as big a media presence, I can only imagine the hell you and your family have been through. When you bought the abandoned mansion I thought that was a smart move, on a hilltop and all. The main thing is your number one concern is your family, and your family you protect with your life. God’s blessings to you all.

Keeping them safe is more important than the entertainment of a bunch of internet denizens, and even more than continuing a passion project.

    You've literally brought all of us subscribers 'into your home' literally letting us see your life. Hell that range day shooting video was awesome. You have helped and had so many people to your place and participate with so many different things.
    It truly is sad and pathetic that those 1 in a 1000 can't behave like a normal person with normal etiquette and proper manners. Absolutely no respect. The first thing they do is disregard you privacy, therefore IMO they all have bad or nefarious things on their mind. No regular normal person trespasses and jumps your gate for a 'job'

    Matt you have to do what is best for the family, and if that means we don’t see them, that is fine. As long as you all are safe and happy, that’s all that matters. Sending love and bear hugs to you all.

    This is honestly so sad, why can’t families just enjoy what they do in life without creepy people trying to stalk them. I’ll be praying for you and your family so that you may find a way to enjoy your life and do what you want!! Absolutely no reason creepy people should destroy a company you made 😢

    Smart man. Protecting your wife, and family, is priority #1. Too many weirdos out there.

    There are folks out there that really have no understanding of personal boundaries. As a husband and father, I completely understand the desire to make sure your family feels safe and secure in whatever you do. Your priorities are in the right place.

    I’m sorry for your troubles, and fully respect your decision to pull back a little. You have to do what’s best for your family because family comes first. I’m proud of you and your lady for everything you’ve done.

    Open and honest as usual, please keep your own stuff going. I hope that your family recover from this and their life returns to normal.

    I'm in Australia and have been watching you, and all your different TH-cam channels, from pretty much the beginning. Seeing what you've accomplished over the years is mind blowing. Totally understandable for Mere doing what she needs to do to feel safe, nobody should have to deal with people like that.
