I'm one of the people that made it to the end and is "not into this stuff". Climbing and rigging and roping or whatever it's called isn't my bag at all, but I'm a subscriber because I like your approach to and presentation of your investigations. Just formal enough that I feel like I'm seeing valid material science results, just informal enough to be entertained at the same time. Your presentation, whereby we get to see the moments of surprise at unexpected results or satisfaction at expected results, adds entertainment value to what could be very dry content. I ran across the channel while looking into knots and got hooked by the testing to failure of various things and the expression "super good enough", which has been surprisingly transformative for me as a philosophy, having groked its meaning by means of your videos. Making it to the end of this particular video was just a matter of curiosity about the channel generally and hearing how you're discovering a lot of the same things I experienced as part of a small mail order business.
Love these rambling videos. The few interactions we've had has made me really feel like a part of this community you've built. I'm always grateful for the information in the regular videos, but like you say, life can be hard and it's refreshing to see and hear about the behind the scenes stuff.
You should negotiate credit terms from your suppliers. Net 30 or 45 is pretty standard B2B
Ryan, I appreciate your business philosophy. Henceforth, all arborist gear I can purchase through you, I will, regardless of pricing. Thank you for your efforts and integrity. Good luck in all your endeavors, and may the stoke be with you.
I typically don't comment on RUclips, but wow! I have really become such a fan of the channel and your work ethic. I really really love the way you run the store and your thoughts about being a reliable seller. This store will be my go to shop! Thanks for all your contributions to the community! I wish you absolute success!
I used to watch your channel just to see how gear breaks and rigging etc. But now I watch it because all the content you make is awesome and you’re a legend 🤟 cheers Ryan, go steady mate
I love your videos. Have been watching for a few years now. Do not highline or base jump, don't even climb anything difficult. I love the science of what you do, how down to earth and genuine you are. Keep doing what you're doing and enjoy it for you. Have a great day
This video had some great mental health vibes. I'd argue that good mental health improves your climbing a lot.
Just wanted to toss my 2 cents in. I'm not one to comment much on any social media but for some reason you struck a chord with this video. First off, I love how transparent and relatable you are, been watching your videos for some time and seeing the progression of the quality really shows. The first few videos compared to now shows that trying and staying committed is paying dividends for sure. If you keep that drive going I don't think you'll have any reason to stress over your store taking off and "making it". And life is short so don't forget to enjoy the ride.
The fact you don't have debt and started a store is amazing! I wish you the best on your investment and have already bought a new rope from you!
I've ordered a few times from the store now and its good.
Half the time when I need some weird specific thing like a Petzl Croll from amazon, rei, or moosejaw its either out of stock, 'backordered', or they'll just send the wrong thing cause maybe the person in the warehouse doesn't know there's a difference between a Croll S and a Croll L. You seem to have good stock on a lot of this specialty stuff. I also appreciate the transparent stock counts.
Just keep doing what you're doing! Thanks for the content
"I love to rub stuff, and I'm just going to keep doing it."
From this video you can really understand how much he cares for what he do rayan I love you video I m learning a lot of useful stuff tank you ❤
I really appreciate the effort you put into these videos. No one else does this for us.
I have never felt like giving a standing ovation to a RUclips video before...
I really like the way you do your stuff. How you work, how you present your videos and all that.
Just wish that I lived somewhere that I could buy from the store
I love your honesty. It is always refreshing to hear you just talk.
Thanks Ryan For Being Super Good Enough!
Great to hear you cut of IG! My wife did the same a year or 2 ago and now might get on a couple times a week, maybe less. Very cool to see in action. I don’t use IG for personal life but YT is a problem some days 😂🥂
Super stoked to see the stroke recovery dealio is going well. Super good enough
Love the behind the scenes videos and learning how things work. Keep em coming. I would total pre order a Pinch and cant wait to see you and Tommy climb and hopefully break some gear.
The "life is short" mindset is a good one. There will be a point in everyone's life when they regret not doing something before it was too late; so if you want to do something, do it. Especially when you get older, the years just fly by, so don't postpone, just do it.
It’s great to hear this side of what must be a busy life and it seems you’re doing a pretty good job. Just make sure you keep going climbing, it’s what keeps us sane 💪
Thank you for sharing your experience and starting a store. I ordered a rope from you a week or so ago, and I received it sooner than the estimated time. The price was excellent as well.Super stoked about it. I will definitely be ordering more from you. 👍👍
Again, not a climber, but I do find your content fasinating. FTR I have set the bell to "none" on most sites lately, but you are still set to "all".
Thank you for saying that "free shipping isn't free." I run a small etsy shop as a hobby, and there's huge pressure for us to give free shipping. I am just one person and cannot afford to eat a $5+ charge on every order in order to give the appearance of Amazonification. 😕
I have never figured out how to test abrasion. Some abrasion is really cutting. And the other stuff... you nailed the anxiety of social media. Your stuff isn't anxiety producing for your viewers. But take care it isn't too anxiety-producing for you.
Rooting for you man! It’s amazing what you’ve been able to accomplish with this channel and the store.
Great life advice at the end. Thanks for all you doRyan
I love this guy!
Cool. I've not climbed for years.. Hey I'm old and live in the flatlands ....
But I like watching your channel.
Take an Aspirin and go climb....
As per the getting stuff on the shelf: I had a buddy who supplied for Edilrid, they used to wait until the whole container was full.
My ohm was stuck for an extra month because people kept adding onto the order.
Yeah, shipping a half empty container is just pissing money away b/c, at least for us shipping a lot of aluminum wheels, it's flat rate. Last I heard (2yrs ago IIRC), we were paying ~$2k a container regardless of shipping air or max weight.
*_Very_* easy to see thin margins evaporate. But wholesalers & retailers not communicating their shipping situation is unacceptable IMO. *_Especially_* when they accept direct shipment/drop shipping.
I'm looking at starting a side business that's only viable if the stuff comes out of China, and a requirement to communicate & continually update customers on our best guess/good faith shipping estimate is 100% going into all distributor contracts.
B/c in my experience, at least in the industry I'm trying to break into, people don't have a waiting problem, they have a lack of information/inaccurate information problem. Blindsiding people with slow boat shipping times and/or continually missing landing dates by weeks & months is a straight up death nail.
@@Iceberg86300 My big problem was the extra month just tacked on, they were given a date it would ship and then it kept getting pushed back. Super hard to plan for inventory that way
Interesting video, thanks... stay happy and healthy. Great decision on the social media. It's poison.
I don't know if you can swing it, but a method that larger stores use is to lease/borrow the items on their shelves that they store. Home Depot does not own the majority of the tools sitting on their shelves, they are still owned by the manufacturer and HD cuts them a check when the item sells. Now, you don't have the advantage of being in a duopoly like Home Depot, but you are dealing with some smaller manufacturers that may be down to try it out. Would give you the ability to load up the shelves with less capital.
I think you're doing great with the store. There is no need to take on a bunch of debt, especially right now. Since it's hard to get money and things are uncertain
I FEEL like the risk to reward is skewed in the favor of trying to build something which is more robust and letting growth happen more naturally when there is a need. It's better for the mind too lol.
ryan, you are basically the only thing i use youtube for, your work makes a difference and is greatly appreciated. you are doing a great job and representing climbing as a sport impeccably. honestly, i think you should teach courses in person, for money, a safety awareness class. i'd take it even though i've been climbing since '88. back when la sportiva megas were the shizzle and neon tights were super cool enough (for dudes).
The website runs great with some better deals and inventory then most bigger competitors. Ordered a few cams during the Black Friday event and the items shipped to Florida quickly. Definitely my new source for gear.
This is a great update!
Great job on the 50k in sales in November.
Keep doing what you're doing! I bet you can do 1/2 in sales in the next 12 months.
35:38 hey man, your putting in a boat load of good work, thank you for all you share with use fools and educated, 🙏
Take care of your health and the rest will fall in to olace mate, you got this handled
Excellent video, I will make sure to join your email list.
Rubing behind the scene may be a cool name to an episode!
Cool approach you're talking. Don't ever see anymore like that. Really good video!
Hey, i really love this type of video, seems like a podcast to me. Do you plan on maybe upload them on Spotify or another podcast platform ? :)
youre awesome!
i don’t know if you have haters, but don’t listen to em. you do so much service for all of us!
PHRASING, BOOM!
Have you guys ever reviewed or broken tower climbing gear I would be interested to see your take on the systems and how it could be safer
Gotta discount code for painting my house??? Sorry, Im a GC and I had to rib ya. lol. I will say I love your channel and your open attitude here makes me wish you were my painting contractor.
does the test method / standard for abrasion testing include re-dressing (sharpening) the edge during (part way) through a test?
RE: Cam slinging - I get most of my cams slung with double length nylon webbing - helps clean up the trad skirt. I have videos of this in action if you're interested to see my process.
Who does it for you?
@@Iceberg86300 Yates
Could you consider adding some timestamps, for the next one of these?
You should check that with same rope you get more or less same result in abresion tests. I think consistency has been an important reason why these haven't been standerised
Your rant about rubbing is a little suggestive. 😉😅 But also I really liked your part about how we often share only the best parts of our lives.
Haven't finished the video, but have you tried instead of rubbing your hardened (hah) steel edge have you put a tensioned rope in its place and sawn thru?
It's ok Ryan, we all like to rub stuff 😁
Science and engineering are fun! Explaining why and how to NON-scientist/engineers can be agony! Like the English and Americans one people separated by a common language.
I tried buying some stuff from the store but the website said my florida address was not available for shipping. I also tried a friend's address to see if it was just my house. Do you guys ship to Florida?
We ship to Florida often. Can you email a screenshot of what you are seeing at contact@hownot2.com? 🙏
3PL would probably be great for you I think.
From rubbing it not-too-much and possibly the wrong way... to it's short... #offended. :D
Ya'll remember when Ryan used to Big Wall? ;)
It's one of the videos in the bank. I was on a wall 3 weeks ago :)
Oh god, 1:45 in and already so many innuendos (intentional or not)… 😂
Guess somebody posted this already but I would find it interesting if you would put some real rock instead of the metalbar for the abrasion testing.
If you’re on instagram, don’t.
I like the bts too ❤
Okay but, as a supporter, can I ask that you hug 50 puppies please?
I placed an order on the 9th, and I never received an order confirmation email or email of it being shipped, could be a small chance I typed my email wrong but I doubt it. this also prevents me from knowing my order number 🙃, lmk what I can do, thanks
We stop what we are doing when we get an order and go put it in a box. I bet it's in the mail. email us at contact@hownot2.com and let us know what you ordered and we can send you the tracking number
Fwiw, I'm pretty sure I would have been gravely injured if not for this channel. 😂
Ehhhhh you can rub things wrong. My old lady's Mother does all the time. 😂
Please test a "Riggers belt" with built in V-shaped rappeller.... If you don't know what I mean by a Riggers belt, please ask
Rub a Dub
It’s never enough….We want 81 hours from You lol, slacker 😉
1:49 hmm
I'm gonna have to respectfully disagree, there are a few people who definitely know how to rub me the wrong way and man, are they good at it. 🤙
test ROPE-GUARD,Rope Edge Protection.....ProPad+
Who says "You're rubbing it wrong!"? If you can describe how you are rubbing what, "they" should be able to sort out what's what and you shouldn't need to. That only assumes "they" are as capable as they claim. Give them they no thought. I think you are doing a fantastic service producing data sets nobody else has done. Rub away...
That part frankly rubbed me the wrong way.
