Hey JP I want to tell you personally from my heart that your videos are great I know it's hard to make everyone happy but it doesn't mean you don't have family friends and TH-cam supporters that are there for you and I want to personally thank you for some of the videos me and my wife actually went out and did these things like knobles, Lehigh gorge scenic train ride, and rail trail adventures and more life is short to let some negative people ruin it and I have been there but you have brought my spirits up and go out and have fun, I never get tired of seeing your videos and there's always something interesting every video even facts too but remember JP you never failed, your doing what you want to do and live life that's awesome and me and my wife will always be your fans then now and future have a great night and live life to the fullest 😊😊😊❤️❤️
Always here to listen. I am not disappointed with any of your videos. You are doing great with content. Don't beat yourself up. Abandoned videos are my favorite. The motorcycle videos were good too. Please don't stop producing great content. Any update on Nevele resort? One of my favorites. You rock JP. Coming from Florida I love the winter videos. You and your family stay safe!
I watch your videos because I enjoy your personality. Its like hanging out with a friend. I enjoy what you choose to post, and have enjoyed the new content like the tractor pull myself. Adam the woo is another favorite of mine and I feel he has a similar outlook as you mentioned. Film what you like and the earnest enjoyment you have will bring the viewers you deserve. Thanks for being you.
You didn't fail at anything. Do what you want. If people don't like it they can go pound salt. I watch some of your videos, and I pass on some. Keep being authentic. That's all we ask.
For my own viewing - I find the video you're having the most fun making to be the ones I enjoy watching the most -- you get really excited in the old culverts, exploring the abandoned rails and rail structures, the waterways, and the rail bike rides - I can see you're enjoying them, you have a lot to talk about while doing them, and it makes them fun to watch. I'm an NEPA native who has lived away for 30 years and your exploring the area is a chance for me to return home virtually, and if you're loving what you're doing, I'm loving watching it.
Yeah man you are ABSOLUTELY 100% NOT A FAILURE!!!. i watch your videos all the time and the content that you put out is on point. The biggest thing is that you're a local to the area just like me and i love that you focus on our area! We don't have a lot of content creators focusing on northeastern PA....and for that i say THANK YOU!
You definitely didn’t fail. I’ve been a viewer for years and I always appreciate the work you put into your content. You never disappoint. Keep up the awesome work. I love your videos! 💙
Hey, JP - the bottom line is that this is YOUR channel. I enjoy watching your variety of programming and just "hanging" out with you and your viewers. Honestly, I think some commenters are just miserable people, so ignore them as best you can. I do feel that it is vital that you follow the paths that excite you and keep you interested in your content. You're looking good - hope you and the family are well 🙂
I am stuck at home,cant get out,any more,im used to doing things,like riding motorcycle, atv,driving around,the country sight seeing,hiking, snowmobile, so watching JP vidios,I love,keep making them..
I have been watching your videos for years and you do not disappoint. Yes there are some videos that I like better than others but you have always tried to make your videos interesting. In that you did not fail. Keep on doing what you love to do, it does show in your videos.
Jay, your content is never a failure. This is a beautiful channel! I do understand wanting to maintain goals and absolutely relate to how things change over time. But even now, I see autumn leaves gently falling in the sunny background, and I'm just smiling! Your photography and cinematography is top-notch -- always!! I'm never diappointed, even when you didn't find what you saw on Google maps, or when some curmudgeon asks you to leave the property. You excel at explorations of all kinds, and we are here for it. Ready for the next one. As you said, "Variety is the spice of life." -- Yes, absolutely! That's why I love this channel! So, Thank you, Jay!!😊💙
I undertand!! But you are not a failure. I have enjoyed your videos this year. It gives me a peaceful escape from my life. I am looking forward to whats to come. Stay safe and have happy holidays.
JP…All your videos are incredible. I have so many favorites but the one that really stood out was the abandoned Nevele resort. What a grand tour! What a grand place. Keep on doing what you’re doing…all of the water videos, from rivers to streams & ponds are also a personal favorite. Thanks for sharing your video experiences with us!❤
Dude! I follow because of what you do! I live way north of you. Don't care. You cover some outstanding features and cover them as you can. I, for one, will watch no matter what your schedule. You do what works for you...I'll be watching, my friend! I hope I'm not alone. Your content is awesome!
Jey, you are passionated, you can’t please everyone, please yourself! I go to abandoned rails from centralia, eaglesmere, suscon junction from New York to West Virginia , I don’t do TH-cam videos I do it for me , you do what makes you happy what makes you happy !!! ❤ I love your videos I watch all your videos ! You rock
You haven't failed . I enjoyed watching your videos. I like to bike rides and the abandoned ones . My grandson 💙 all the train videos and anything around trains .
I love your channel. I've been watching for more than 2 years. I've gone back and watched a lot of your earlier stuff. The most important thing for me is the attitude you bring to all your videos. I can see how much effort you put into every thing you do. I look forward to whatever you wish to share.
Hello JP I've been watching you for at least 8 to 9 years the first video that I watched from you was abandoned houses you are the very first Channel that I watched on TH-cam enjoyed everything you put out I have to say that abandoned houses are my favorite thank you for everything you do take care and love from upstate New York💙💙💙💙😊
A great channel. I upped my notifications, so I won't miss anything. I'm always a fan of railroads, mining, industrial history - lots of that similar to what is here in Alabama, just more so. Looking forward to whatever you plan next.
Don't change, please keep on being you. I have always enjoyed your traipsing around the woods, wading in streams, showing us discoveries and the way there and back. I appreciate all that you do and your commentary is very conversational, as tho we're walking, or slipping/sliding, right beside you. Imagine if we could send to you holograms of ourselves, you would turn around and see alongside and behind you a crowd of like minded adventure seekers. You lead the way, we follow you from our seats at home, wishing we could join the great outdoors with you.
JP you never let us down. Don't think like that my friend, The hot weather is rough, I go through the same thing in the heat and even when it's not really that hot I sweat like I just ran laps at Death Valley. Your a wonderful person JP. Don't you ever forget that ok. Centralia WA luvs ya JP...😊😊
I been watching for years. I love you're content. Don't ever change JP be yourself. Do what makes you happy. You are not always going to make everyone happy. Take care JP👍
Jason I love your channel and all its content! I’ve been watching for a long time and I never get tired of your videos. You are not a failure! Whatever you do I will watch! You are awesome! 👍🥰
Just a comment from the other side of the pond! What you have to remember is that you will NEVER please everyone. People have choices and what they don't like they don't have to watch. Thank you for working as hard as you do to give us what is, for the most part, very interesting content! Gill 🇬🇧
Follow your passion, curiosity, challenges, and desire for adventure and passionate, interested people will find you and be inspired. Your photography and highlighting of details in nature is wonderful to see.
Now you have gone and done it. You have publicly announced a list of things you want to get done this winter. Outdoor things. The type of list that guarantees we will have a snowy winter. I love your content. I find your adventures both enjoyable and many times educational. You have an eye for things which makes your photo montages excellent viewing. Stick with what you enjoy. I think your enthusiasm about your subject is what draws me to your videos. I hope you are able to check off the items on your list this winter. Let's hope Mother Nature cooperates or you may be stuck covering the best sledding hills within walking distance.
@@JPVideos81 As far as winter goes I live next to the Chesapeake and watch the animals -- so far they're pretty much out & about -- when you don't see many you know the weather will change. So far they're still out & doing their 'thing' so hopefully the winter won't be too bad. Hey! Do you know that it SNOWED in the desert just a short time ago?! There's a video on You Tube about it. The look on the poor camel's faces-- like; "What is this cold white stuff?!" I do miniatures -- little lighthouses-- a little sea town with tiny people - & made the Bison that you can see in the picture by my name. The Bison is white with snow & he is eating some grass he uncovered. It symbolizes to me that when you go through hard times you don't give up-- just keep trying -- things will get better. I've made two lighthouse lamps. It's just a fun hobby. You share so much with us -- I thought I'd share too.
I’ve been watching you for years JP. I love the abandoned properties. Remember when you used to go to fast food drive throughs and try new menu items? And when Trump was going through and you did a livestream, you had so many watching! Then you scared us all during Covid! I love all your videos and love to see you looking so healthy now! Thank you for them all
I appreciate your videos. You do whatever kind YOU want to do because I think if you do we learn more about you as a person,TH-camr,your interest. I appreciate you looking out for all of us though. I don't think you failed. Just keep being you and do whatever kind you want to do. 🙂👍
One of my objectives is to watch more of your videos! I live in an area of the country where it can and does exceed 110F in the summer, so I completely understand about now wanting to look muggy on camera.
Please don't ever feel like you have failed because you definitely never have. Your videos are always really interesting and fascinating, and I love them all. You are always very passionate about anything you do and film and it shows in all your videos, making your work enjoyable for you. I know you have tried so hard to make sure all your viewers are happy, but like you said, you just can't please everyone, so they have to be the ones to be able to choose what they want to watch, but I think most of your viewers enjoy your awesome array of content. The changes you made were good and you have to do what you feel is right for you and your channel. I agree that variety is the spice of life and that is why your channel is so great! I am looking forward to all your upcoming incredible videos. What an awesome place you were filming in, with beautiful landscape and the squirrel was cute to see. Thank you for your updates and remember, you do amazing work! 💙
I only feel like I failed with my schedule, but overall I'm happy with what I've done and the changes I've made that has positively impacted my overall view on things. I sometimes doubt things, but everyone does. It's viewers & comments like yours that helps make it worth it to continue on and put the negative stuff behind me.💙
I definitely feel what you're going through this year. Personally I had intended to put out at least a video a week, maybe more. So many real-life things got in the way. TH-cam definitely took a back seat to real life this year. The stuff you did in the past was very enjoyable to watch, but i get not feeling really 100% passionate about it. So peppering it into your regular content is a good idea. All in all, we love ya Jay. I can speak for many of us, we're here to stay regardless of what you create.
As a friend and fellow creator, you understand as much as I that some things don't work out or have an outcome like we expect, but that doesn't stop us from doing what we enjoy and that we need to make changes if necessary. The changes I made over the last few years have really helped revitalize my channel and overall am pleased with everything, but like you, I have a higher standard than most when it comes to things we're passionate about. Thanks for your friendship!
No worries at all, I've genuinely enjoyed your videos. It's always a treat to follow along on your adventures, witnessing each new discovery. Keep the content coming, I'm here for every step of the journey!
I am not a train enthusiast but the vid you did on the mining cars and how they filled them with coal was really cool.. love the water stuff too. Those close encounters with the snakes was still too close.. Stay safe do what you love.. I'm along for the ride.. 💚
Hey JP! Been watching and subscribed to your channel for some time now. I started watching your channel because of your abandoned explores and your live ghost hunts. (loved your old intro) Just because you may not show that content much anymore does not mean I would unsubscribe from your channel as your personality and honesty is genuine and that's what matters. I have absolutely no interest in trains, railways, e bikes or things like that but when you have your google find videos that peaked my interest and I definitely watch them. You are who you are and you need to do what you want to do and create the content that makes you happy. So many times have I seen other channels that get stale as the content is always the same and the creator seems to just be publishing the same content and not enjoying it as much anymore. Continue doing what makes you happy!!! Stay well JP and thanks for sharing!
You didn't fail on anything, I enjoyed the videos you do, I don't chat much, you are doing good. At times, TH-cam will not let me know on new videos at times. Your videos are great to watch, gives me peace and calms my daily life here. You do great with talking about the area and history. Love it!
Where else on TH-cam can you find the mix of things you do here?! The mix of things is what makes your channel so interesting. I mean, you waxed a leg for us... if that's not devotion to your audience, I don't know what is. You haven't failed at anything, sir. Peace and love from just over the border in Broome county, NY. ❤
I've been having so much fun watching your videos, especially of abandoned structures, railroad tracks, and watching you walking through culverts. There have been a few that I didn't watch simply because the subject matter doesn't pique my interest, like the coffin racing or the 165th Harford Fair. But I go back to your channel frequently and, oftentimes, complimenting you on the Comments Section about the great video you've made. Keep up the excellent work. 👍
Nah, I think you did a great variety of adventures. Looking forward to the adventures in the woods, now that the foliage has dropped, things will show themselves now that we’re hidden in the summer.
I like a lot of your videos. Not the spooky ones though cause I’m just a big scaredy-cat. Even the trains special and the ones with your friends acting goofy. Appreciate your hard work and summer here in SC was horrible. Humidity makes it hard to breathe and zaps all your energy. Take care and be safe😁
do what you enjoy. that's what makes it worth doing. if you make a vid that doesn't interest me, I might skip it, but will be back for the next one. and I haven't skipped many you do good work
JP I love watching your videos, you probably remember me because of the old coal mines me asking silly questions. I all of it ESPECIALLY the abandoned and also active train tunnels . Last time I watched your channel when you was on your e bike showing those coal towns and the interesting houses . So don’t listen those complainers . You continue with your content. If they don’t like it , then they can change the channel. I as always appreciate the hard work you put in your channel sir . Keep up the good work. Respectfully .
Jp, I remember the being and when I was recovering from covid-19 in 2020 when I was in the Hospital fitting for my life and I tried to at that time and I tried to warn you about covid-19 at that time to get a mask . But think it was to late and you said on your video that you were fitting for your life. I did also. Iam not the same since that day. Jp you all ways do good on all the videos you make and all the information you find. Your a good hearted person and your family. You always have everyone going with you and always make us feel great that we can also can go with you on everyone. Thanks for being there for all of us. Your friend David Knibbs, From newhampton,n.y 😊
JP, Go find the Panther Creek Viaduct location on the Willes Barre and Eastern RR. E bike that right of way as well. Might make for several great vids!!
It’s important that you are passionate about what you film. If you’re bored then we are going to be bored. I trimmed my TH-cam viewing but I kept yours around. Loved the Coffin ⚰️ race. Even shared it. I still think you would enjoy Sleepy Hollow NY. They have a train! I do get tired of original rerun content. So many influencers fall into that routine. I don’t enjoy the standard paranormal content because I think the equipment is a bunch of hocus Pocus. However anyone who tells me paranormal stories I am all ears.
*This is Ratt's LIVE 1/25 & Tammy~Tammy made a model channel for me over 2 years ago~What I found is the ones making requests are my haters that are wanting to cause trouble in some way~You got it right in that "You can't please everyone"~Don't even try~Do the videos you want to do~I have watched you for the 10 years and Tammy and I both love watching your videos~They are very wel done~Great viideo/camera work~Your photograpgy is the absolute greatest on TH-cam and Facebook as well~Keep up the good work and don't swet the small stuff others want to make seem so big~I'm 56 years old and swet alot when I do phisical things~Diet is key to happyness here~I don't eat pizza for 2 and a halh years and eat lots of oatmeal Lots and lots of it~Best advice I could give~You did great this past summer Brother :))*
Thank you for what you do. I was originally drawn to your channel by your love of trains. I took a ride on your model railroad. I have followed along with you since then because I enjoy interacting with you and your choice of adventures. I now love walks in the woods and abandoned structures and learning some history from you. Go with your choices and I will tag along on you tube. 😎😘
You are doing the best you can. I had to give up exploring and stuff myself, due to life. I went back into my music and guitar playing. The band I helped form is in hiatus at this time. Hopefully next year, I can execute certain projects. So, I can relate. I hope Jill & Lily are doing ok. I send them a hello.
I guess you have to consider that most of Pa. missed the entire month of August with rain! If you're an outdoorsman in Pa. August was not a good month! Not to mention ticks were unusually bad to be in the woods this summer. When you did finally get a good day or two this summer you had to play catch up with simple things like just getting your lawn mowed! You have a fine channel. I really enjoy it. Love the Google Finds are always great!
I like the variety you show on your channel, Jay. I wouldn't change a thing only at your discretion. You're right to say you can't please everyone. I enjoy watching whatever you put on your channel. It's your channel and treated as such, my friend.
Hello JP, I have always been a fan of your channel. I think you do an excellent job, creating the videos. I think you're doing just fine. I love all the content you make, and I enjoy watching it. 👍👍👍👍👍👍😎
Hi JP! I stumbled across your channel just a little bit before the pandemic hit. As you know, I found you because I enjoy abandoned explorations, and I absolutely enjoyed a lot of the things that you were doing in the past like Sunday night live, but at the end of the day, you have to be true to yourself. If you’re not getting any joy out of what you’re doing, it’s probably not worth it. You’re absolutely right that people have the ability to simply not watch something that doesn’t interest them. I think we’ve lost a lot of our ability to just use common sense and realize that somebody else might enjoy something that I have no interest in and that doesn’t mean I have to leave a bad or nasty comment about it, I can simply pass and watch something else that interests me more. I appreciate every video that you’ve done over the years and the effort that you put forward for your viewers. I still follow along on many of your adventures and just really enjoy your commentary and your outlook on adventuring and preserving history. Please just keep doing what you’re doing and enjoy the journey.
JP, you haven’t failed at anything!! Your videos are always interesting and fun. Your photos are great! You have a great eye for photos and video. In my opinion, please keep doing what you are doing. In glancing over the comments I get the impression that others feel the same. Thank you for all the work you do and sharing with us. Dave; S.F. Peninsula
Same I just went along with the polls because I don't really care it can be anything u want to do and I would still watch its up to u if u want to do something or not if people don't like it to bad its your channel and your body that has to go through all of that to get to those places
Jay - don't beat yourself up. I enjoyed the wide variety, I love train stuff, coal mine stuff, and wilderness, mountain exploring, it's all good. Also the abandon houses and buildings ... always an adventure. Straying to different subjects can be good. I can live without live streams, people really act silly on those things. You inspired me to buy an e-bike and ride the Bike Train/D&L trails. I'm gonna do it ! Can't wait. Just need time. Again - you do quality work and you have good equipment, well presented - it shows. Can tell some thought has gone into your videos, compared to some others, you look like a pro.
That is the beauty of youtube. post want you want. We are all here becayse we are interested in the content you have brought us in the past. If there is something we are not interested in we can just skip the video. Your videos are very interesting and some of the most entertaining on youtube💙.
You definitely have a great channel, as a viewer I watch the content of yours that I want to watch and if it's something that doesn't catch my eye, I may pass it and watch something else. But first off as a creator you do need to make content that your passionate about. It is good to organize a filming schedule to get the best content on what to create during the course of a year and sometimes life and mother nature makes us change that. Making you postpone filming somethings. Secondly a majority of viewers when they see a 20 to 45 minute video, thinks it only takes the time of the video to make it, not so. To get all the shots it may take a couple hours or more of shooting video out in the field to get everything you need with extra shots. Then next you have to take all the video of of your SD cards and transfer to the computer, which takes more time. Then there's organizing the the files, editing, rendering and uploading to TH-cam. So you could have 5 hours or more into a 45 minute video. With that said doing live streams and other types of videos might eat up time that you have set aside to editing on your content or maybe that's time that you could be doing some personal things in your life, but as a content creator you definitely need to balance things and prioritize the things you feel passionate first and try to accommodate where you can within the scope of what you for see the direction you want your channel to go. For myself on my channel, I am still an infant channel in the TH-cam world at 480 or so subscribers at this point. But I do field some interesting requests with my videos, from someone not liking one free use TH-cam songs I use in my video so I don't get copyright strikes, or videoing at night or having to drive into the sun and so on. I try not to do certain things, but at some point I will be driving at night or in a direction where I may travel to where the sun would eventually come into the window. Also when I started I had envisioned of simultaneously making driving videos, train videos and traffic signal videos, having these big goals turned out to not work out with all the additional traveling time, scoping out other possible shots and so on, and with that that doesn't include my full time job and personal life outside of making TH-cam videos. So I primarily make the driving videos, then mixing some train videos and finally maybe I will catch some traffic signal videos. So to summarize, keep to your passions and film according to that first and work from there. If that means exploring a rail trail or an abandoned rail line, or maybe it's a Google find or maybe it's a tractor pull, then you make your content to those things that you enjoy doing.
You're right. You do have a tendency to ramble. 😏 But, I still enjoy watching your exploration videos. Whether it's off the beaten path or roadside destinations, it's nice to see someone else enjoying a trek through the woods or checking out landmarks on rural roads and small towns in places I'll probably never get to see for myself; I'm from southern Ontario. Do what you enjoy first and foremost! And, please, try to keep clichés like "that being said" to a minimum. ✌
I’ve watched your channel for several years. I love all the things you do! It’s especially fun when you’re excited about what you are showing us. 😁 I appreciate the update and want you to do the things you love. Of all the adventure videos I watch (I like exploring places, homes, old buildings, etc) yours is still my favorite 😊 Keep doing what you’re doing!
all your videos are things i use to do when i lived in pa.i plan on retiring there .no iam not nuts .i miss the seasons.i might see you soon.keep on keepen on.
Sometimes, just hiking in the rain creates an ambiance that draws people in, but you'd need to be well protected from the weather. If you ever do it, take someone with you!
You didn’t fail at all. You are human, as you said. You have a huge number of people who love what you do. Your channel is one of my favorites on TH-cam.
Here to add to what I’ve seen other commenters say; do what you enjoy. For me personally, TH-cam videos are far more interesting when the TH-camr loves what they do. I personally enjoy nature, hiking, looking for interesting things behind the normal barriers of everyday life, so your channel was easy to appreciate. However, there’s other TH-camrs I’ve become a huge fan of whose content isn’t something I’d normally search for, but who are passionate about it and end up making very compelling content. Keep it up, JP.
JP I just got through watching the channel that has the giant slides . And I want you to know I felt your pain . And I haven’t had a real good laugh in a while. Your expression it was priceless. Watching it again for the 3rd time before I move on to some train tunnels. I’m trying to find the one with the fan house at the entrance. Anyway enjoyed it , thanks for the laugh.
Hey Jay I'll start by saying that in no way, have you ever failed your viewers. As humans, I'm sure that we can all understand that unforeseeable circumstances arise and that there are times when more important things take precedence over filming. No one has a right to expect more than what you are capable of or more than you feel comfortable doing. You should always stay with what is true to yourself because if you don't keep it real, it becomes evident to your viewers. I love all of your content not only because it is different and interesting, but because you bring such great factual insight to your videos. Remember, nothing is ever guaranteed until it appears. With that being said, I will be PATIENTLY awaiting the invitation to the next awesome adventure whatever, or wherever, it may be. Until then take care, stay safe and God bless. Steve in Oklahoma
Hey, JP! I appreciate you sharing some insight into your channel contents, future goals, and your feelings about different topics. I enjoy watching you explore your world and taking the time and effort to share it with us. I think your content is terrific and I like the fact that I don't always know what to expect when I tune in. The important thing to any channel's success is the host's enthusiasm and enjoyment of what they are doing. I've seen many people get into a rut of filming what they think people want to see, narrowing their focus and chasing views at the cost of losing enthusiasm. Sometimes they burn out and disappear from TH-cam. Just keep doing what you want to do. I'm up for anything. By the way, I know yours isn't a "product review" channel, but if you could share some of your experience and opinions of e-bikes you've used, maybe just a few anecdotes and things you've learned to look for (and look out for) in an e-bike, I'd be interested as I hope to get one in the future. Thanks for all your videos. You're definitely among my favorite TH-camrs!
When I stumbled across your channel years ago you were mainly exploring abandoned houses. I had never seen this before and really enjoyed them. I don't think I missed any of those. The other urban explore channels I found since then have to be at least as good as yours were or I won't watch them. But I don't watch your other content nearly as much. I was glad to see that you had gone more into general explorations and I enjoy those when I have time to watch them. It's like being able to travel without having to leave my home. :) I agree you should do what you want to do on your own channel. That is what will keep it fresh. I will watch what interests me and skip the rest. Although I will say that the video length is a factor. The longer videos (from ANY channel) can be hard for me to sit through. One thing that comes to mind, though, is that I don't recall seeing any "shorts" from your channel. Maybe they just aren't being sent to me. But I would think a few of those would drum up interest.
I have been subscribed and watched your videos for years. I love what you do, where you go and the info you provide. You are one of my original GOAT’s for abandoned and lost history. Thank you for all you share. Many of us live vicariously through your videos. I do have my own memories, but you give me the memories of place and things that I do not have access to because of my location. Love any history of our wonderful country.
Like they say....Variety is the spice of life. You're doing great Jay! Keep up the great work. And follow ups like revisiting a place again is cool to see like the Mausoleum, etc. God Bless. Greetings to Jill and Lili too. 🙏🙏🌺🙏🙏Oh, BTW....Halloween night we had snow up here in Minocqua, WI lol. Weather has been good since then just wet n rainy is all.
all your content has been great in my opinion, I can't lie I do like some more than others but all the videos are great and i do watch them all. Take care and always looking for the next video
You're awesome, good that you reflect; but no one would have called you out, because we love your content! Did you check out the bear's den in Nay Aug Park? Doug Roberts and I recently cleaned up around there... Peace
@JPVideos81 below the parking lot near the Lincoln monument. We cleared the path, so you're actually looking at the top of bear den from parking lot edge top of steps... vids on channel last month or so... peace
When I first came across your channel, I became engrossed in your abandoned homes/buildings/factories/farms findings and exploring. Always looking forward to your next find. There was nobody else on TH-cam that could create/narrate a video like you, as you explore and discover going room to room. I understand the need/want to do other things/subjects, but I really miss what drawed me to your videos. You have a talent and do it very well. Life makes it a challenge to do things as planned and sometimes can make a person 2nd guess everything/anything they do. Just do your best to make decisions and work with it.
You haven’t failed! I enjoy your videos and have learned things too. Didn’t think I would like the train ones, but they’re interesting. I’ve never been to your part of the country so seeing and learning about the area has been informative. So, No failure here! Thank You for all you do .
I like your channel a lot. I especially like the variety. I have to admit though that the Knoebels videos are my favorites. I’m 63 and I can’t walk very well or for very long, so seeing places that you explore is very enjoyable for me.
Well that's accountability. I dont think its needed though. I like your tennessee videos because I live here. But I love all of your videos! An idea for the next time you're in Tenneessee visiting, maybe you could try a google finds video? Also maybe a roadside find. We have very pretty mountains and who knows what you will find on your journey!

Not an exciting video, but an informative one. Thanks for taking the time to listen.
I like all your videos they are very interesting
Never doubt yourself 🤔 Just go with the flow😊 The quality of your videos is what keeps me watching 💙!
Hey JP I want to tell you personally from my heart that your videos are great I know it's hard to make everyone happy but it doesn't mean you don't have family friends and TH-cam supporters that are there for you and I want to personally thank you for some of the videos me and my wife actually went out and did these things like knobles, Lehigh gorge scenic train ride, and rail trail adventures and more life is short to let some negative people ruin it and I have been there but you have brought my spirits up and go out and have fun, I never get tired of seeing your videos and there's always something interesting every video even facts too but remember JP you never failed, your doing what you want to do and live life that's awesome and me and my wife will always be your fans then now and future have a great night and live life to the fullest 😊😊😊❤️❤️
Always here to listen. I am not disappointed with any of your videos. You are doing great with content. Don't beat yourself up. Abandoned videos are my favorite. The motorcycle videos were good too. Please don't stop producing great content. Any update on Nevele resort? One of my favorites. You rock JP. Coming from Florida I love the winter videos. You and your family stay safe!
I watch your videos because I enjoy your personality. Its like hanging out with a friend. I enjoy what you choose to post, and have enjoyed the new content like the tractor pull myself. Adam the woo is another favorite of mine and I feel he has a similar outlook as you mentioned. Film what you like and the earnest enjoyment you have will bring the viewers you deserve. Thanks for being you.
You didn't fail at anything. Do what you want. If people don't like it they can go pound salt. I watch some of your videos, and I pass on some. Keep being authentic. That's all we ask.
I appreciate that
Channels evolve and change. You just kept doing what you enjoy and we’ll keep watching 🙂
No failures on your part. Always great content and we are here bc we support YOU not just your content! Thank you JP and stay you!
For my own viewing - I find the video you're having the most fun making to be the ones I enjoy watching the most -- you get really excited in the old culverts, exploring the abandoned rails and rail structures, the waterways, and the rail bike rides - I can see you're enjoying them, you have a lot to talk about while doing them, and it makes them fun to watch. I'm an NEPA native who has lived away for 30 years and your exploring the area is a chance for me to return home virtually, and if you're loving what you're doing, I'm loving watching it.
Yeah man you are ABSOLUTELY 100% NOT A FAILURE!!!. i watch your videos all the time and the content that you put out is on point. The biggest thing is that you're a local to the area just like me and i love that you focus on our area! We don't have a lot of content creators focusing on northeastern PA....and for that i say THANK YOU!
You definitely didn’t fail. I’ve been a viewer for years and I always appreciate the work you put into your content. You never disappoint. Keep up the awesome work. I love your videos! 💙
💙
Hey, JP - the bottom line is that this is YOUR channel. I enjoy watching your variety of programming and just "hanging" out with you and your viewers. Honestly, I think some commenters are just miserable people, so ignore them as best you can. I do feel that it is vital that you follow the paths that excite you and keep you interested in your content. You're looking good - hope you and the family are well 🙂
I am stuck at home,cant get out,any more,im used to doing things,like riding motorcycle, atv,driving around,the country sight seeing,hiking, snowmobile, so watching JP vidios,I love,keep making them..
I have been watching your videos for years and you do not disappoint. Yes there are some videos that I like better than others but you have always tried to make your videos interesting. In that you did not fail. Keep on doing what you love to do, it does show in your videos.
Jay, your content is never a failure. This is a beautiful channel! I do understand wanting to maintain goals and absolutely relate to how things change over time. But even now, I see autumn leaves gently falling in the sunny background, and I'm just smiling! Your photography and cinematography is top-notch -- always!! I'm never diappointed, even when you didn't find what you saw on Google maps, or when some curmudgeon asks you to leave the property. You excel at explorations of all kinds, and we are here for it. Ready for the next one. As you said, "Variety is the spice of life." -- Yes, absolutely! That's why I love this channel! So, Thank you, Jay!!😊💙
I undertand!! But you are not a failure. I have enjoyed your videos this year. It gives me a peaceful escape from my life. I am looking forward to whats to come. Stay safe and have happy holidays.
JP…All your videos are incredible. I have so many favorites but the one that really stood out was the abandoned Nevele resort. What a grand tour! What a grand place. Keep on doing what you’re doing…all of the water videos, from rivers to streams & ponds are also a personal favorite. Thanks for sharing your video experiences with us!❤
💙
Loved that video that place looked like it was amazing in it's day
That was one of my first JP videos that I watched. 😊
Dude! I follow because of what you do! I live way north of you. Don't care. You cover some outstanding features and cover them as you can. I, for one, will watch no matter what your schedule. You do what works for you...I'll be watching, my friend! I hope I'm not alone. Your content is awesome!
Jey, you are passionated, you can’t please everyone, please yourself! I go to abandoned rails from centralia, eaglesmere, suscon junction from New York to West Virginia , I don’t do TH-cam videos I do it for me , you do what makes you happy what makes you happy !!! ❤ I love your videos I watch all your videos ! You rock
Keep on exploring!
@ my friend I will follow you on your many new video journeys ! We are saving history one video at a time ❤️
My favorites are abandoned things, with the rail videos being my favorites of all.
You haven't failed . I enjoyed watching your videos. I like to bike rides and the abandoned ones . My grandson 💙 all the train videos and anything around trains .
I love your channel. I've been watching for more than 2 years. I've gone back and watched a lot of your earlier stuff. The most important thing for me is the attitude you bring to all your videos. I can see how much effort you put into every thing you do. I look forward to whatever you wish to share.
You have a lot of love in here JP. You are really good with video and photography. Keep it coming.
Hello JP I've been watching you for at least 8 to 9 years the first video that I watched from you was abandoned houses you are the very first Channel that I watched on TH-cam enjoyed everything you put out I have to say that abandoned houses are my favorite thank you for everything you do take care and love from upstate New York💙💙💙💙😊
Thanks so much 💙 💙💙
A great channel. I upped my notifications, so I won't miss anything. I'm always a fan of railroads, mining, industrial history - lots of that similar to what is here in Alabama, just more so. Looking forward to whatever you plan next.
I look forward to watching anything you post! Beautiful scenery, cute squirrel!! Keep doing what makes you happy!! Stay safe!💙
Enjoy your videos. Thank you for the time you put into each one. 😊
Hi Jay. Hope you are doing great. Keep doing what you enjoy and I will keep watching.
You’re still my favorite TH-camr! Especially looking forward to seeing your abandoned explores coming up. God bless…..🌝 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Don't change, please keep on being you. I have always enjoyed your traipsing around the woods, wading in streams, showing us discoveries and the way there and back.
I appreciate all that you do and your commentary is very conversational, as tho we're walking, or slipping/sliding, right beside you.
Imagine if we could send to you holograms of ourselves, you would turn around and see alongside and behind you a crowd of like minded adventure seekers. You lead the way, we follow you from our seats at home, wishing we could join the great outdoors with you.
JP you never let us down. Don't think like that my friend, The hot weather is rough, I go through the same thing in the heat and even when it's not really that hot I sweat like I just ran laps at Death Valley. Your a wonderful person JP. Don't you ever forget that ok. Centralia WA luvs ya JP...😊😊
I been watching for years. I love you're content. Don't ever change JP be yourself. Do what makes you happy. You are not always going to make everyone happy. Take care JP👍
Jason I love your channel and all its content! I’ve been watching for a long time and I never get tired of your videos. You are not a failure! Whatever you do I will watch! You are awesome! 👍🥰
I appreciate that!
Just a comment from the other side of the pond! What you have to remember is that you will NEVER please everyone. People have choices and what they don't like they don't have to watch. Thank you for working as hard as you do to give us what is, for the most part, very interesting content! Gill 🇬🇧
Follow your passion, curiosity, challenges, and desire for adventure and passionate, interested people will find you and be inspired. Your photography and highlighting of details in nature is wonderful to see.
It's been a awesome year! No failure or let down in my opinion! Keep on keeping on! And we'll be waiting for the next video!😊👍
I appreciate that
Now you have gone and done it. You have publicly announced a list of things you want to get done this winter. Outdoor things. The type of list that guarantees we will have a snowy winter.
I love your content. I find your adventures both enjoyable and many times educational. You have an eye for things which makes your photo montages excellent viewing. Stick with what you enjoy. I think your enthusiasm about your subject is what draws me to your videos.
I hope you are able to check off the items on your list this winter. Let's hope Mother Nature cooperates or you may be stuck covering the best sledding hills within walking distance.
Haha, I had that same thought when editing. We'll see how well mother nature cooperates this winter.

As far as winter goes I live next to the Chesapeake and watch the animals -- so far they're pretty much out & about -- when you don't see many you know the weather will change. So far they're still out & doing their 'thing' so hopefully the winter won't be too bad.
Hey! Do you know that it SNOWED in the desert just a short time ago?! There's a video on You Tube about it. The look on the poor camel's faces-- like; "What is this cold white stuff?!"
I do miniatures -- little lighthouses-- a little sea town with tiny people - & made the Bison that you can see in the picture by my name. The Bison is white with snow & he is eating some grass he uncovered. It symbolizes to me that when you go through hard times you don't give up-- just keep trying -- things will get better. I've made two lighthouse lamps. It's just a fun hobby.
You share so much with us -- I thought I'd share too.
I have loved your exploration videos going though small towns
I’ve been watching you for years JP. I love the abandoned properties. Remember when you used to go to fast food drive throughs and try new menu items? And when Trump was going through and you did a livestream, you had so many watching! Then you scared us all during Covid! I love all your videos and love to see you looking so healthy now! Thank you for them all
Those are memories I'll never forget
I appreciate your videos. You do whatever kind YOU want to do because I think if you do we learn more about you as a person,TH-camr,your interest. I appreciate you looking out for all of us though. I don't think you failed. Just keep being you and do whatever kind you want to do. 🙂👍
One of my objectives is to watch more of your videos! I live in an area of the country where it can and does exceed 110F in the summer, so I completely understand about now wanting to look muggy on camera.
I was attracted to your channel with the abandoned rail videos, but really appreciate your content. Keep up the good work....
Please don't ever feel like you have failed because you definitely never have. Your videos are always really interesting and fascinating, and I love them all. You are always very passionate about anything you do and film and it shows in all your videos, making your work enjoyable for you. I know you have tried so hard to make sure all your viewers are happy, but like you said, you just can't please everyone, so they have to be the ones to be able to choose what they want to watch, but I think most of your viewers enjoy your awesome array of content. The changes you made were good and you have to do what you feel is right for you and your channel. I agree that variety is the spice of life and that is why your channel is so great! I am looking forward to all your upcoming incredible videos. What an awesome place you were filming in, with beautiful landscape and the squirrel was cute to see. Thank you for your updates and remember, you do amazing work! 💙
I only feel like I failed with my schedule, but overall I'm happy with what I've done and the changes I've made that has positively impacted my overall view on things. I sometimes doubt things, but everyone does. It's viewers & comments like yours that helps make it worth it to continue on and put the negative stuff behind me.💙
I definitely feel what you're going through this year. Personally I had intended to put out at least a video a week, maybe more. So many real-life things got in the way. TH-cam definitely took a back seat to real life this year. The stuff you did in the past was very enjoyable to watch, but i get not feeling really 100% passionate about it. So peppering it into your regular content is a good idea. All in all, we love ya Jay. I can speak for many of us, we're here to stay regardless of what you create.
As a friend and fellow creator, you understand as much as I that some things don't work out or have an outcome like we expect, but that doesn't stop us from doing what we enjoy and that we need to make changes if necessary.
The changes I made over the last few years have really helped revitalize my channel and overall am pleased with everything, but like you, I have a higher standard than most when it comes to things we're passionate about.
Thanks for your friendship!
No worries at all, I've genuinely enjoyed your videos. It's always a treat to follow along on your adventures, witnessing each new discovery. Keep the content coming, I'm here for every step of the journey!
I am not a train enthusiast but the vid you did on the mining cars and how they filled them with coal was really cool.. love the water stuff too. Those close encounters with the snakes was still too close.. Stay safe do what you love.. I'm along for the ride.. 💚
Hey JP!
Been watching and subscribed to your channel for some time now. I started watching your channel because of your abandoned explores and your live ghost hunts. (loved your old intro) Just because you may not show that content much anymore does not mean I would unsubscribe from your channel as your personality and honesty is genuine and that's what matters. I have absolutely no interest in trains, railways, e bikes or things like that but when you have your google find videos that peaked my interest and I definitely watch them. You are who you are and you need to do what you want to do and create the content that makes you happy. So many times have I seen other channels that get stale as the content is always the same and the creator seems to just be publishing the same content and not enjoying it as much anymore. Continue doing what makes you happy!!! Stay well JP and thanks for sharing!
You didn't fail on anything, I enjoyed the videos you do, I don't chat much, you are doing good. At times, TH-cam will not let me know on new videos at times. Your videos are great to watch, gives me peace and calms my daily life here. You do great with talking about the area and history. Love it!
Where else on TH-cam can you find the mix of things you do here?! The mix of things is what makes your channel so interesting. I mean, you waxed a leg for us... if that's not devotion to your audience, I don't know what is. You haven't failed at anything, sir. Peace and love from just over the border in Broome county, NY. ❤
I've been having so much fun watching your videos, especially of abandoned structures, railroad tracks, and watching you walking through culverts. There have been a few that I didn't watch simply because the subject matter doesn't pique my interest, like the coffin racing or the 165th Harford Fair. But I go back to your channel frequently and, oftentimes, complimenting you on the Comments Section about the great video you've made. Keep up the excellent work. 👍
Nah, I think you did a great variety of adventures. Looking forward to the adventures in the woods, now that the foliage has dropped, things will show themselves now that we’re hidden in the summer.
I like a lot of your videos. Not the spooky ones though cause I’m just a big scaredy-cat. Even the trains special and the ones with your friends acting goofy. Appreciate your hard work and summer here in SC was horrible. Humidity makes it hard to breathe and zaps all your energy. Take care and be safe😁
do what you enjoy. that's what makes it worth doing. if you make a vid that doesn't interest me, I might skip it, but will be back for the next one. and I haven't skipped many you do good work
JP I love watching your videos, you probably remember me because of the old coal mines me asking silly questions. I all of it ESPECIALLY the abandoned and also active train tunnels . Last time I watched your channel when you was on your e bike showing those coal towns and the interesting houses . So don’t listen those complainers . You continue with your content. If they don’t like it , then they can change the channel. I as always appreciate the hard work you put in your channel sir . Keep up the good work. Respectfully .
Jp, I remember the being and when I was recovering from covid-19 in 2020 when I was in the Hospital fitting for my life and I tried to at that time and I tried to warn you about covid-19 at that time to get a mask . But think it was to late and you said on your video that you were fitting for your life. I did also. Iam not the same since that day. Jp you all ways do good on all the videos you make and all the information you find. Your a good hearted person and your family. You always have everyone going with you and always make us feel great that we can also can go with you on everyone. Thanks for being there for all of us. Your friend David Knibbs, From newhampton,n.y 😊
JP, Go find the Panther Creek Viaduct location on the Willes Barre and Eastern RR. E bike that right of way as well. Might make for several great vids!!
It’s important that you are passionate about what you film. If you’re bored then we are going to be bored. I trimmed my TH-cam viewing but I kept yours around. Loved the Coffin ⚰️ race. Even shared it. I still think you would enjoy Sleepy Hollow NY. They have a train! I do get tired of original rerun content. So many influencers fall into that routine. I don’t enjoy the standard paranormal content because I think the equipment is a bunch of hocus Pocus. However anyone who tells me paranormal stories I am all ears.
Me again, I do enjoy the abandoned places!!!

Thank you for what you do. I was originally drawn to your channel by your love of trains. I took a ride on your model railroad. I have followed along with you since then because I enjoy interacting with you and your choice of adventures. I now love walks in the woods and abandoned structures and learning some history from you. Go with your choices and I will tag along on you tube. 😎😘
You are doing the best you can. I had to give up exploring and stuff myself, due to life. I went back into my music and guitar playing. The band I helped form is in hiatus at this time. Hopefully next year, I can execute certain projects. So, I can relate. I hope Jill & Lily are doing ok. I send them a hello.
I guess you have to consider that most of Pa. missed the entire month of August with rain! If you're an outdoorsman in Pa. August was not a good month! Not to mention ticks were unusually bad to be in the woods this summer. When you did finally get a good day or two this summer you had to play catch up with simple things like just getting your lawn mowed! You have a fine channel. I really enjoy it. Love the Google Finds are always great!
Exactly! Lots to catch up on once weather cooperated.
I like the variety you show on your channel, Jay. I wouldn't change a thing only at your discretion. You're right to say you can't please everyone. I enjoy watching whatever you put on your channel. It's your channel and treated as such, my friend.
You never fail you get done what you get done don't worry about what you missed out on there's always another time to get videos done
Hello JP, I have always been a fan of your channel. I think you do an excellent job, creating the videos. I think you're doing just fine. I love all the content you make, and I enjoy watching it. 👍👍👍👍👍👍😎
Thanks so much
Hi JP! I stumbled across your channel just a little bit before the pandemic hit. As you know, I found you because I enjoy abandoned explorations, and I absolutely enjoyed a lot of the things that you were doing in the past like Sunday night live, but at the end of the day, you have to be true to yourself. If you’re not getting any joy out of what you’re doing, it’s probably not worth it. You’re absolutely right that people have the ability to simply not watch something that doesn’t interest them. I think we’ve lost a lot of our ability to just use common sense and realize that somebody else might enjoy something that I have no interest in and that doesn’t mean I have to leave a bad or nasty comment about it, I can simply pass and watch something else that interests me more. I appreciate every video that you’ve done over the years and the effort that you put forward for your viewers. I still follow along on many of your adventures and just really enjoy your commentary and your outlook on adventuring and preserving history. Please just keep doing what you’re doing and enjoy the journey.
JP, you haven’t failed at anything!! Your videos are always interesting and fun. Your photos are great! You have a great eye for photos and video. In my opinion, please keep doing what you are doing. In glancing over the comments I get the impression that others feel the same. Thank you for all the work you do and sharing with us.
Dave; S.F. Peninsula
Whatever you put on your channel, I’m happy to watch!
Me too!
Same I just went along with the polls because I don't really care it can be anything u want to do and I would still watch its up to u if u want to do something or not if people don't like it to bad its your channel and your body that has to go through all of that to get to those places
JP, you do you, don't worry about it. Only you know what you planned on doing, it's your choice!
Just be safe and enjoy the experience!
Love your vidios Jay!
Jay - don't beat yourself up. I enjoyed the wide variety, I love train stuff, coal mine stuff, and wilderness, mountain exploring, it's all good. Also the abandon houses and buildings ... always an adventure. Straying to different subjects can be good. I can live without live streams, people really act silly on those things. You inspired me to buy an e-bike and ride the Bike Train/D&L trails. I'm gonna do it ! Can't wait. Just need time. Again - you do quality work and you have good equipment, well presented - it shows. Can tell some thought has gone into your videos, compared to some others, you look like a pro.
Thank you for the kind words
That is the beauty of youtube. post want you want. We are all here becayse we are interested in the content you have brought us in the past. If there is something we are not interested in we can just skip the video. Your videos are very interesting and some of the most entertaining on youtube💙.
You definitely have a great channel, as a viewer I watch the content of yours that I want to watch and if it's something that doesn't catch my eye, I may pass it and watch something else. But first off as a creator you do need to make content that your passionate about. It is good to organize a filming schedule to get the best content on what to create during the course of a year and sometimes life and mother nature makes us change that. Making you postpone filming somethings.
Secondly a majority of viewers when they see a 20 to 45 minute video, thinks it only takes the time of the video to make it, not so. To get all the shots it may take a couple hours or more of shooting video out in the field to get everything you need with extra shots. Then next you have to take all the video of of your SD cards and transfer to the computer, which takes more time. Then there's organizing the the files, editing, rendering and uploading to TH-cam. So you could have 5 hours or more into a 45 minute video. With that said doing live streams and other types of videos might eat up time that you have set aside to editing on your content or maybe that's time that you could be doing some personal things in your life, but as a content creator you definitely need to balance things and prioritize the things you feel passionate first and try to accommodate where you can within the scope of what you for see the direction you want your channel to go.
For myself on my channel, I am still an infant channel in the TH-cam world at 480 or so subscribers at this point. But I do field some interesting requests with my videos, from someone not liking one free use TH-cam songs I use in my video so I don't get copyright strikes, or videoing at night or having to drive into the sun and so on. I try not to do certain things, but at some point I will be driving at night or in a direction where I may travel to where the sun would eventually come into the window.
Also when I started I had envisioned of simultaneously making driving videos, train videos and traffic signal videos, having these big goals turned out to not work out with all the additional traveling time, scoping out other possible shots and so on, and with that that doesn't include my full time job and personal life outside of making TH-cam videos. So I primarily make the driving videos, then mixing some train videos and finally maybe I will catch some traffic signal videos.
So to summarize, keep to your passions and film according to that first and work from there. If that means exploring a rail trail or an abandoned rail line, or maybe it's a Google find or maybe it's a tractor pull, then you make your content to those things that you enjoy doing.
Do the things you want to do as well. You're never going to please everyone. Never think you failed.
You're right. You do have a tendency to ramble. 😏
But, I still enjoy watching your exploration videos. Whether it's off the beaten path or roadside destinations, it's nice to see someone else enjoying a trek through the woods or checking out landmarks on rural roads and small towns in places I'll probably never get to see for myself; I'm from southern Ontario.
Do what you enjoy first and foremost!
And, please, try to keep clichés like "that being said" to a minimum. ✌
that TRAIN ride u had too was super interesting i was drawn in big time
Ill keep watching, i like your content, ive enjoyed your finds and adventures…..one thing i do miss is chow time with your wife and lily, take care jp
I’ve watched your channel for several years. I love all the things you do! It’s especially fun when you’re excited about what you are showing us. 😁 I appreciate the update and want you to do the things you love. Of all the adventure videos I watch (I like exploring places, homes, old buildings, etc) yours is still my favorite 😊 Keep doing what you’re doing!
all your videos are things i use to do when i lived in pa.i plan on retiring there .no iam not nuts .i miss the seasons.i might see you soon.keep on keepen on.
Sometimes, just hiking in the rain creates an ambiance that draws people in, but you'd need to be well protected from the weather. If you ever do it, take someone with you!
Your videos are great
You didn’t fail at all. You are human, as you said. You have a huge number of people who love what you do. Your channel is one of my favorites on TH-cam.
Here to add to what I’ve seen other commenters say; do what you enjoy. For me personally, TH-cam videos are far more interesting when the TH-camr loves what they do. I personally enjoy nature, hiking, looking for interesting things behind the normal barriers of everyday life, so your channel was easy to appreciate. However, there’s other TH-camrs I’ve become a huge fan of whose content isn’t something I’d normally search for, but who are passionate about it and end up making very compelling content. Keep it up, JP.
I enjoyed everything you do on your channel keep up the good work thanks for the videos
The abandoned houses was really cool and the Google maps stuff!
This is your channel you run at the way you feel is right. Nobody needs to tell you how to do it or what they want to see.❤
Jay thanks for explaining however i enjoy your content whatever u do. Please take it easy on yourself. You have not failed.
Keep on filming! You do a great job and it's clear your heart is in it all. Many thanks
JP I just got through watching the channel that has the giant slides . And I want you to know I felt your pain . And I haven’t had a real good laugh in a while. Your expression it was priceless. Watching it again for the 3rd time before I move on to some train tunnels. I’m trying to find the one with the fan house at the entrance. Anyway enjoyed it , thanks for the laugh.
That was so much fun and glad you had a good laugh 😃
Hey Jay
I'll start by saying that in no way, have you ever failed your viewers. As humans, I'm sure that we can all understand that unforeseeable circumstances arise and that there are times when more important things take precedence over filming. No one has a right to expect more than what you are capable of or more than you feel comfortable doing. You should always stay with what is true to yourself because if you don't keep it real, it becomes evident to your viewers. I love all of your content not only because it is different and interesting, but because you bring such great factual insight to your videos. Remember, nothing is ever guaranteed until it appears. With that being said, I will be PATIENTLY awaiting the invitation to the next awesome adventure whatever, or wherever, it may be. Until then take care, stay safe and God bless.

Hey, JP! I appreciate you sharing some insight into your channel contents, future goals, and your feelings about different topics. I enjoy watching you explore your world and taking the time and effort to share it with us. I think your content is terrific and I like the fact that I don't always know what to expect when I tune in.
The important thing to any channel's success is the host's enthusiasm and enjoyment of what they are doing. I've seen many people get into a rut of filming what they think people want to see, narrowing their focus and chasing views at the cost of losing enthusiasm. Sometimes they burn out and disappear from TH-cam. Just keep doing what you want to do. I'm up for anything.
By the way, I know yours isn't a "product review" channel, but if you could share some of your experience and opinions of e-bikes you've used, maybe just a few anecdotes and things you've learned to look for (and look out for) in an e-bike, I'd be interested as I hope to get one in the future. Thanks for all your videos. You're definitely among my favorite TH-camrs!
I can definitely do that at some point, probably closer to spring time.
When I stumbled across your channel years ago you were mainly exploring abandoned houses. I had never seen this before and really enjoyed them. I don't think I missed any of those. The other urban explore channels I found since then have to be at least as good as yours were or I won't watch them. But I don't watch your other content nearly as much. I was glad to see that you had gone more into general explorations and I enjoy those when I have time to watch them. It's like being able to travel without having to leave my home. :) I agree you should do what you want to do on your own channel. That is what will keep it fresh. I will watch what interests me and skip the rest. Although I will say that the video length is a factor. The longer videos (from ANY channel) can be hard for me to sit through.
One thing that comes to mind, though, is that I don't recall seeing any "shorts" from your channel. Maybe they just aren't being sent to me. But I would think a few of those would drum up interest.

I have been subscribed and watched your videos for years. I love what you do, where you go and the info you provide. You are one of my original GOAT’s for abandoned and lost history. Thank you for all you share. Many of us live vicariously through your videos. I do have my own memories, but you give me the memories of place and things that I do not have access to because of my location. Love any history of our wonderful country.
Like they say....Variety is the spice of life. You're doing great Jay! Keep up the great work. And follow ups like revisiting a place again is cool to see like the Mausoleum, etc. God Bless. Greetings to Jill and Lili too. 🙏🙏🌺🙏🙏Oh, BTW....Halloween night we had snow up here in Minocqua, WI lol. Weather has been good since then just wet n rainy is all.
all your content has been great in my opinion, I can't lie I do like some more than others but all the videos are great and i do watch them all. Take care and always looking for the next video
I appreciate that!
You're awesome, good that you reflect; but no one would have called you out, because we love your content! Did you check out the bear's den in Nay Aug Park? Doug Roberts and I recently cleaned up around there... Peace
I'm honestly not familiar with the bear den location...
@JPVideos81 below the parking lot near the Lincoln monument. We cleared the path, so you're actually looking at the top of bear den from parking lot edge top of steps... vids on channel last month or so... peace
Thank you for quality videos. I enjoy what you like to film
I love your videos and the variety of things you film and I think that whatever interests you is fine.
When I first came across your channel, I became engrossed in your abandoned homes/buildings/factories/farms findings and exploring. Always looking forward to your next find. There was nobody else on TH-cam that could create/narrate a video like you, as you explore and discover going room to room. I understand the need/want to do other things/subjects, but I really miss what drawed me to your videos. You have a talent and do it very well. Life makes it a challenge to do things as planned and sometimes can make a person 2nd guess everything/anything they do. Just do your best to make decisions and work with it.
Sadly there's not as many of those locations around anymore, but I do try and revisit some to see how they've changed.
You haven’t failed! I enjoy your videos and have learned things too. Didn’t think I would like the train ones, but they’re interesting. I’ve never been to your part of the country so seeing and learning about the area has been informative. So, No failure here! Thank You for all you do .
JP you are perfect just being you. I enjoy all your videos. Keep on keeping on ❤
I love trains and i love hunting for things, so rail trails and google finds is fun!
I like your channel a lot. I especially like the variety. I have to admit though that the Knoebels videos are my favorites. I’m 63 and I can’t walk very well or for very long, so seeing places that you explore is very enjoyable for me.
Well that's accountability. I dont think its needed though.
I like your tennessee videos because I live here. But I love all of your videos!
An idea for the next time you're in Tenneessee visiting, maybe you could try a google finds video? Also maybe a roadside find. We have very pretty mountains and who knows what you will find on your journey!
