    I just can't express how nice it is to watch videos that are done in one take/ one cut. It is mind numbing to watch some of the RUclips channels out there that have to put in a cut after almost every single sentence. I know of one project/construction channel where she is obviously reading from a script and has to make a fresh cut after, literally, every sentence. Wow, is it distracting. Zero natural flow. Thanks again for your efforts Cody. They are appreciated.

      Absolutely. Some of the vloggers and youtubers jump cut in mid sentence every time they can't think of a word. Some people have 0 conversational skills. He also talks like he's talking to us, and not a camera. And that helps.

    I really enjoy how in touch you are. As a 20 year old man I find that you can keep up with our generation and are open minded enough to see the value in our generations pass times and careers. When most people your age and cut from a cloth like yours would probably look down on the idea of being a RUclips as a career you decided to embrace it and that’s so cool. I’ve been watching for a long time quite a few years now, I look forward to watching you for years to come. God Bless

Finally moved to central Georgia in 91 to present, never considered myself an East Coast kind of guy. My entire working life was spent in the entertainment field. We rigged thousands of pounds over head of both lighting and audio. The idea of a "soft shackle" scares the daylights out of me. Now you you did say " used in the right application" ......but.....

    I like the Doyle pliers they have. Pretty good for the price.

    What are those new glasses? Maybe a video about them? They look quite unique.

      In the military we have a name for those glasses. BC glasses (birth control glasses).

      @@funnyfarmdad9997 I Don't come from a military background, so I am not sure I am fully getting the joke. You mean they look so ugly that no one wants to sleep with you?

    How about a video on packing a back pack bug out bag. One bag. Something we can grab and run. I know you have a bunch a vids on packing bags, great vids. I know a little about it, but you are way more experienced especially with the medical stuff. I'm thinking about getting the below backpack. Or can you recommend a better one?

    If you’re in the market, check out the Daytona super duty floor jack. Apparently made in the same factory as some snap on jacks!
