First, and foremost, congratulations on the continued success you’ve had on your videos. I think your content is very relatable and you are authentic. The clip of Jason being tired and in need of coffee is a perfect example. I have a couple of questions. If a viewer skips an ad does that hurt your ad revenue? If a viewer watches a video more than once, do you only get credit for the first view? I will say I’m a loyal viewer and would love to your channel grow exponentially in the coming years. I’ll definitely be pulling for you and your critters.

Thank you so much! We really appreciate all your support right from the start! It’s so fun getting to know you guys and hearing from the same people over and over! We love it 😊 Haha the dogs kept us up all night shifting around in the trailer, he was tired 😂😂 I actually had to google your question and it sounds like skipping the ad will negatively effect that ad and it may cause it not to be shown as many viewers, but on our end I’m not sure it hurts us much? I’m not totally sure! But watching it over again counts as more views for the ads, so anytime you feel like putting our videos on repeat that always helps 😂😂😂 Thank you for continuing along on our journey! We couldn’t do it without you guys! 😊

You guys are definitely authentic and honest. As you know from my comments I am not a hunter nor do I ride horses. I do like target shooting and oddly enough worked at a horse ranch in Virginia for 3 months feeding watering and cleaning the barns but to me they are massive creatures so I kept my distance. I came to your channel purely by accident but I sensed an honesty and integrity about you all so I subscribed. One thing I know about is that once the subscriber numbers go way up the content provider forgets those that started viewing in the beginning and begin to say I can't answer your comment there's too many so don't forget the ones at your beginning thanks kray

KZitem's algorithms recommended your channels to me from the very beginning and it's been hugely inspiring watching you and Jason on all your adventures, crushing debt and acquiring property, horse(or rather mule?)manship and growing your herd, hunting, and exploring the rocky mountains! I've my own work to do but I very much aspire to partake in very similar activities and achieve a similar lifestyle and it's been awesome seeing not only is it possible, but that there's a veritable "tribe" of us out there! Best wishes from Colorado and God Bless!

But it’s evolved into not only that, but us providing wholesome content to show people a simpler way of life, whether they live it as well, or wish they could. We wanted to make videos that the entire families can watch together and not have to worry about anything inappropriate.

@@SpencerHubble it depends a lot on the type of video, but if we film a 5 day hunt, it would probably take us about 4 hours to organize footage and about 12-20 hours to edit a 20 minute film. Depending on style and skill level, you could be WAY faster, or way slower (especially if you’re a perfectionist). We have zero traditional education on this stuff- we’ve learned everything from KZitem. It took Alyssa 3 solid days to edit our sheep hunt, and this video about our earnings took her 1 day to film and organize, and a 10 hour day to edit and make the thumbnail. It took me three days to make an 8 minute video comparing mules and horses, but I’m terrible at editing. We do enjoy the process though- which is the only thing that keeps us going at this point lol We’re hoping we’ll eventually get quicker 😊
