I'm Kenneth's first granddaughter and only seen pictures of him and it's worried me that he may have been murdered and my dad will at least have relief to know that his daddy is found dead or alive but really thank y'all for trying to help us really it means alot hopefully it will be a closed case one day and our family will have closure and relief
🌊🛻I really hope you all find out what happened & bring ur PopPop Kenny home someday, real soon. I was really hoping that they would've found him here. 😢 I happened upon this case, Idk what channel, a few yrs back, and I've been checking back every so often, ever since. I just always felt for his daughter, through hearing her voice speak about his disappearance, the pain & sadness - I jus felt connected to it all somehow..maybe bc I lost my Daddy when I was 9. Idk, either way, I'm praying for y'all. Your PopPop would be proud of you, Beautiful GrandDaughter. Take Care. xo
Wendy cousins I am so sorry you lost your grandfather this way my thoughts go out to you and your family ❤️❤️❤️ I lost my grandfather at 17 from alpha one dieases on top of smoking constantly and I understand the pain and it hurts are cases may not be the same but it hurts not having someone here and not being part of your life for so long my grandfather's life was cut short and im so sorry that happened to you
How come this isn’t a televised show on a network!? I’m fascinated and engaged every episode. God bless these souls. No more food, dating, nonsense shows. We need this!!!
I know this family personally. I also know that this was hard to re-visit for them. I pray one day they get answers. Yalls hard work is appreciated, and doesn't go unnoticed!
This channel is truly amazing! I remember when you first started out just cleaning up the environment until one day someone needed help finding a missing person. The rest has been history, I appreciate everything you guys do
Thanks! Even though you might not of found who you're looking for, you might be helping unsolved a puzzle that's been buried all these years. I'm sure with your efforts and dedication he will be found some day. Thank you for all you do for these families. I'm glad to be able to watch and support your channel. You are true hero's! ❤🇦🇺
Jared, dont forget you're the reason we're all here! We love you! Its why your channel continues to grow! Just incase you needed to be reminded of that!
This was crazy. The fish jumping sure had Jared and Josh enjoying it and helping to give them a short distraction. Guys stay safe. You all do great work.
If ever there was a channel with content that made you feel so sad you want to break down and ball your eyes out ,to balling your eyes out from the excitement that someone has been found and one more family can get closure. These guys are living angels.
Love that you finally showed some of the fun and laughter you guys have during these serious searches. Remember to always take care of your mental health while dealing with such sad and stressful work.
I agree 100%. Eat well, sleep well, spend time with your loved ones to keep your emotional "tanks" full. You can't solve every case, but bless you all for giving every case your best effort.
You guys went from one purpose, to an even greater purpose (finding answers for families of missing loved ones) and that’s AWESOME. Though you may not be able to recover them all, what you do no doubt, is APPRECIATED.
It always makes me sad when these guys feel like they've let someone down by not finding someone right away. I know it's a hard thing to do but you have no idea how amazing you guys are. Every little step you guys complete is another step closer to the answers the families need. It's not many people that can and will do what you do. You guys are very special. Keep up the amazing work.
I was so hopeful that you would find Kenny. I can’t imagine what Kenny’s family has gone through. I was sad that it wasn’t Kenny, but crazy stuff is going on there. Thank you so much for your dedication to the missing, their families and loved ones, the law enforcement that you help and others and for never wavering on cleaning the environment.
We appreciate that you are humble and vulnerable to release even the videos that didn’t go the way everyone had hopes for being the target. So much learning and value in all these videos regardless of the outcomes.
Not finding Kenny should not be taken as a loss or waste of time. In the end, there are questions answered and a story to be told, which is why I love to watch your channel. Keep up the good work!
I’m Kenny’s granddaughter that first post was me on my moms account before I ever got a actual acct and i just want to thank everyone for their prayers really❤️ I’m in tears cuz of y’all comments it makes me feel so much better to know I have ppl by my side throughout this and it means the absolute world to me thank y’all really I just really really hope he can be found but I have low hopes 🥲
Keep on doing what Gods called you to do fellows kind compassionet and Wellington to sacrifice yourselves to bring closer to family members of missing persons God Bless you young men it appears to me your filled with the Holy Spirit of God
I really appreciate how you narrate and show what you're seeing on the sonar. What you do is so needed. Your respect, for the families, each other, law enforcement and the people you find, is humbling. Best Reality watching ever.
Thank you Jared, Doug, Nug, Josh, Jacob, and all of you looking for these missing people and taking the time to look in the places that most people would write off with hardly a glance. I know it makes more work for all y’all but it’s the best way to conclusively rule out an area so you can focus on other areas that might be the right place.
So sad he wasn’t found. I don’t blame y’all for not doing cases that can be questionable. Thank you guys and your families at home for all you do for families and the environment. Praying he is found. #BRINGTHEMHOME
It is very sad that people who volunteer feel they have to justify to no end their reasons for helping someone. This to me is greed! AWP is great for communities. The world is al about suing someone to get money. Money can't be you heaven when the time comes and you don't take it with you....I pray he is found also for that poor family.
@@mommabear4232 I believe it’s more about the fact that they don’t want to put their own safety (risking someone who was involved come after them) in jeopardy
It sounded like the sister thought the pond behind his in-laws may have been somewhere to look at. She mentioned that pond while on the phone call, but nobody ever sad anymore about it.
I have a lot of superstitions abt the pond that my aunt was talking abt the guy we’re thinking killed himself not to long ago for no reason nobody had looked at the pond yet and the only thing that has ever been found was his toolbox in the river they never found the truck I’m thinking the guy murdered him in his truck threw his toolbox in the river to throw off investigators and drove the truck into his pond and his truck is covered in mud in a pond but sunk to the bottom that’s my supstition
The emotional ups & downs that everyone goes through must be exhausting. Unfortunately everyone involved has experienced this. Thank you AWP for always hanging in there no matter what. 👍❤️ God bless each & every one of you & my heart & prayers go out to the Stricklin family. 🙏 May Kenny rest in peace. 🕊️
Sad that you guys were not able to find Kenny. But I loved the reaction you guys had to the fish and being able to have a little bit of lite heartiness in such a serious and sometimes stressful time
You all are some brave folks getting into the water with gators and a boat filled with air. Love watching you solve missing cases and helping families getting answers.
You guys did a great job... Pretty brave to be in waters with aggressive fishes and swimming alligators.... Kenny may never be found..But you did an awesome job in trying to find him...In that moment he was not forgotten.. Wherever he may be,rest in peace..🕊️ My heart goes out to the family members...🙏🏾💖
You guys have a very unique channel. Compassion, expertise, teamwork abilities, no hidden agendas & a genuine concern for the families of loved ones who have been missing. It’s just amazing how some people get amnesia after calling for Adventures With Purpose.
A quote from Zig Ziglar who was from Yazoo City MS.... “Remember that failure is an event, not a person.” Jerry Clower also from Yazoo City has one of the best coon hunting stories ever. A lot of history has come out of that little town.
Jared, will you return to other cases with the magnetometer? Crew safety was paramount in this episode as evident from Jared’s concern when Doug and Nug were diving to stepping away from the discussion there at the end. My heart started beating faster when the water got deeper and they saw a vehicle, though it wasn’t the one. The crazy leaping fish and Doug’s lowering of provisions off a bridge brought out some laughter from you guys and made my day! The fish felt like a sign saying Kenny is here!
@@AdventuresWithPurpose What about this one ? Willl you go back ? Did you notice when editing and not on your cell phone, - that that other pond DID have access to it ? It was not as clear as the other pond, but there was clearly access to it cutting through the trees inbetween the 2 ponds. Love the effort, work, and care you put into everything you do. If we had more people doing helpful work, meaningful work in the pursuit to help others, - we'd be in a much better place. I will always keep my hopes and dreams alive that one day we will have an overabundance of such organizations and groups of people that we find it difficult finding them any work to focus on. Sadly there is, - and will remain, - a large void to fill in variuos areas requiring help and assistance in various ways, - not just cold cases, missing people. I have faith that your continued dedication, consideration, and care, - as well as your wonderful presentation of such difficult and often very complicated situations and scenarios will continue to bring light to the eyes of others and get more people thinking about the lack of resources, funding, and especially the degredation of available assets and manpower available, - or able to be assigned to such endeavors and for how long due to cut back and that lack of, or decrease of funding. Which is why operations and people like you are absolutely vital and so very important always, - but especially in harder times when certain areas, or industries are negatively impacted and funding dries up or was never there to begin with... but Im sure you guys are WELL aware of that. I just hope other become more and more aware of that, and take the time to consider such truths and facts. These videos should continue to get some thinking and realising such Im sure. And its definitely not just in water search and rescue that we could use such assitance and helpful organizations obviously. But I think its likely always been a mostly underfunded part of things. Im sure if we had more people doing the work that you are could even help avoid things from ever reaching this point by simply having these groups of trained and caring individuals/organizations operating in more number. And available to jump into the mix with officials if, - and when these cases are "current" and not "cold." Simply because having an organization/group to count on in any local area could free up and reduce operation costs of such operations to give search and rescue efforts another day, or two, or more even. Which we all know means a big deal in determining the outcome of such situations. So it would be nice to see more going about such things. And I think your vdeos help to provide some "REAL" viewing value to people, - and over time should get more thinking about such things and their importance. You definitely got your channel name perfect with the use of the word "purpose" for sure. I apologize for so typing so much, - and am confident in saying that you guys know these things well and dont need me to bring it up, but maybe some other viewers will hapen upon and read it, and it may help them consider what they were unable to, - and didnt think about while watching the video. Thanks for all the work you guys do. Keep it up, and stay safe. Dont take unnecessary risks.
Those Asian Carp have so many bones in them that they are to boney to eat. Asians do eat them though. I've never eaten them but they (Asians) say that they are good. May God Bless and Keep all of AWP in His Precious Care!!!
Firstly, the joy at the jumping fish was so refreshing & delightful. Secondly, y’all looked where his truck could have been. Looking for vehicles is what you do. Getting involved with the messes surrounding some of those vehicles is not yours to sort out. I’m looking forward to seeing what you can find with the magnetometer! Blessings & Abundance to y’all & those that you love.
I saw that they are still trying to fund raise for the magnetometer,they posted a go fund ,only raised about 1/3 so far.Just imagine if everyone donated just $1
Im a mechanic an live in New Jersey where cars an trucks rust out fast. I have owned an repaired many old square body Chevy trucks its possible the truck your looking for has rotted to the ground in the river after 30 years. You should maybe look for an engine sticking up or something like that. Anyway you guys are great keep up the great work! My heart goes out to Kenny's family.
WOW-that was quite a suspenseful day! Thanks for all you do to help families find answers. I also really appreciate your sincere, tender & yet frank approach with the families as well as your audience.
Jared, I live by everything happens for a reason! I'll never forget that first one you stumbled across "WO-WO-WO CALL THE COPS". 💜💜This is your reason for being there at that moment. You're helping these families!! Don't forget your own mental state as well! **Josh/Carson thanks for showing the jumping fish...nice to see you guys laughing
Thank you all for the volunteer services you offer to families. I loved the unexpected silver jumping fish! The videos just keep getting better! Sent you something from Amazon Wish List.
Knowing how much of a toll it can take on you guys doing this great service to families, it was nice to see how you can have some levity in some situations...grab a laugh and excitement when you can @23:33 .. excitement was palpable. What's in the bag? Fish Filets. That said I hope, especially for Kenny Sr, his son will be found.
This case may just be an accident, but it also sounds like foul play. I’m with Jared on this one, better to play it safe. If other divers want to search for Kenny, just be careful. It’s too bad that the family couldn’t have answers for this search. My heart and prayers go out to the family of Kenny Stricklin. 🙏🙏 To Jared, Doug, Josh, Carson, Jeremy, Jacob and Lindsey: Thank you for everything you do to bring answers to families!!! God Bless you all and always be safe! ❣🤿😺😊
Great episode! 30 years of rumors- I feel like a lot of the time, the older a case gets with no new information, the more rumors there are to try to explain it. Could just be an accident.
That got my skin crawling! I can't help feeling the vehicle you found is some vital clue to the truth. Not necessarily to bring Kenny home, but as to why he hasn't been so far. Just feel we're missing something. Maybe this is what was needed to push thoughts in a different direction? The universe works in mysterious ways. Respect xxx Kennys family are one step closer to him now. Nothing is in vane.
Obviously, the person that sent. The email knew something. That AWP didn't know. You might not have found Kenny. But you did help the police. Which is always a good thing. Without really getting involved in questionable rumors, etc. My hope is Kenny will be found. I always say, never say never. When one least expects it. A case could be solved. Pray that the family will be able to stay strong and find some peace. Well done! Another great and meaningful episode.
While these haters choose to critize me. I choose to bless them. I will not lower myself to their level. The world has enough toxicity in it. I refuse to contribute to it. Recommendation read the community comment guidelines. Also, strong recommendation. Rather, then gripe about something. That is of no concern to you. Make better use of your time. Go out in your communities. Help someone in need. Less griping and more loving your fellow man.
@@davidwoermansr Thank you! I appreciate that your heart/mindset. It Is in an open and positive place. It's time to stand up to rudness and vulgarity. Take our world back. For the sake our future/present children. The world is full of broken people. We don't need. To add more brokenness to it. Social platforms are intended to be social not antisocial. I respect and appreciate your comment.
Jacob (Chaos Divers) wearing a shirt that hits close to home. Y’all are doing an amazing job. Not many people these days put others before themselves. I applauded everyone for everything they do. Keeping doing what yall do and never quit.
Exactly my thoughts; cautious in that it may very well be what you're looking for, but optimistic that either way, someone's going to have answers as to their missing vehicle and/or loved one.
You guys!!!❣️ With all of the amazing work you do, you DESERVE some diversion.... I can only imagine how you feel when you do finally locate the missing, so enjoy the little things!! The fish jumping were awesome. Thank you THANK YOU CREW, FOR YOUR HELP and please be safe, continue your good fight, and may you always be blessed!
AWP team, thank you for looking for Kenny and locating a vehicle in a case. Kenny, please be patient, someone will find where your at soon. Just not the right time yet. Please keep watching over your family and friends, they really need you right now.
I hope Jared you are ok. A few videos ago seemed like you were traumatized, and rightfully so. I am so sorry that these cases have to be done, but you and you’re team are just so amazing. I am inspired by your bravery to do this work.
Every search y’all go on, recovery or not, is a teaching moment. I see lessons in safety paramount to the mission, sharing of knowledge and skill, team effort, and teaching why getting vehicles out of our waterways is so important. I’m excited for the added layer of magnitrometer (sp?) science.
I love watching the videos you guys post. I especially enjoy the videos that end with the solving of the case. I know you guys wish you could solve them all. Anyways best of luck keep up the awesome work!
I love watching this channel…. All of you are to be commended for your efforts put forth in helping families. It is not any easy task that you do. ❤️❤️
I'm so thankful for people like these. I takes a special person to have a heart to do this. I pray God will help you find lost love ones and bring them home. God bless rescuers everywhere.
I’m giggling a bit, because I’m glad you got to take some time for a little fun, but also that the fun led up to running out of gas 😂. That’s quite the adventure! Thanks for all that you do!
The dream would be to one day have multiple teams that way you guys can cover as much territory in the country as possible. Imagine the amount of cases you could solve. You could have a team of people just prior researching areas and prepping info and locations. A team taking emails with case suggestions. The things you guys could do with the proper funding. That would be amazing to be a part of.
@@AdventuresWithPurpose what if that tool box came from that car means that girl knows the owner of that car to be a murder. Red Flag there which I feel connects that girl to the possible crime and she portrays herself as the victim of rape and car jacked and dumped her car with evidence in the river that seems to make clear sense to me. ???? JUST WHAT IF???
Wow I didn’t know y’all came all the way down here. Would’ve loved to see you in action. Been watching you guys for a while now and it’s very different to actually see y’all do this for people you don’t know. It’s so solemn and amazing at the same time. Giving people their names back. Family getting that terrible closure they need. I’m sure if everyone knew what you guys do they would thank you for finding people they don’t even know.
😂 Jared and Josh sounded like kids on Christmas morning!! That was so funny to see the pure enjoyment on their faces. There is your sign your doing the right thing. God bless each of you and your families for being willing to help those who are looking for answers. I thank God for you all who are taking the risks of it all. Stay safe!!
Even though it was wrong day for you to find Kenny, as always you give it your ALL. I will admit to laughing at those fish, and as for the Alligator, I was sure I spotted one on livescreen about 5 minute before you pointed it out. This show was superbly spliced together. Keep looking, you'll find a golden nugget in time. 🏴 Betty from Scotland 🏴
I loved seeing the follow-up on the vehicle that, while it wasn't Kenny, had its own interesting story. I always wonder what the story is behind all the other found vehicles or mysterious objects found that aren't the target. Would love to see follow-up coverage on what the story on those turned out to be - obviously not something AWP has time for but would be fascinating for sure. I hope Kenny's family gets some answers soon.
You all always try to be 100% respectful of all involved and I really have great admiration for you guys and what you do. Doesn’t always turn out the way you would like but you always give 100%. Thank you for what you do. God Bless You all.
Pray for Ridwan Kamil's son, the Governor of West Java in Indonesia, his son was reported to have been swept away by the river in Aaere, Switzerland, it's been 4 days & still no news. I hope he is found soon & that he is well.
I'm miles away in Europe and it moves my heart to see what a wonderful mission you guys have taken upon yourselves to continually risk your lives, with such determination to seek out and find the lost, thus bringing a mournful-but yet a great comfort to their family, relatives and friends. THANKS!When I see your videos, It makes you realized that there are determine friends and families who will not give up, on lost ones. THANKS ONCE AGAIN FOR SHARING AND FELLOWS STAY SAFE. GOD BLESS YOU ALL REAL GOOD.
Surprise! One of the funniest things about rivers in the Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia areas is that they can LOOK shallow, but are actually quite deep. For example, many people think the Ocmulgee River at GA Highway 18 is only a few feet deep, but it's around 20-25 feet deep at points. The muddy waters can disguise the true depths of the river. Great idea going in, guys!
23:00 minute mark.... love that you guys can take some fun where you can get it. I love the work that you do. it means so much to everyone but that doesn't mean that you have to be 100% serious all day. take a breath and enjoy the work that you all are doing. Best of luck to you all in all your endeavors.
I came across with a “divers reacting AWP” video that was discusting! I wrote them: “wanna help?!? Gear up and help AWP!”. You guys in AWP did what those who call themselves “professional divers” has never done: help families in agony for many years for free. God bless you all!
@@westoncrockett5968 maybe you did not understand my message 🤷♀️. I am sided with AWP . I am against those “professional divers” videos that “react” on what AWP do. It is easy to critisize AWP’s work when they have their a**es in a comfy chair. Those “professionals” help no one and wants to put down those who do something to help others. Did you get it now???
I am a fan of AWP, but at the same time dive talk channel are not incorrect. I thought some of their comments before Doug showed up was not in good taste and when Doug showed up they were a bit patronizing toward him. This doesn’t mean they are wrong in their dive safety knowledge. They had good points.
@@PetiteGatita I am a big fan of what they do put they are simply reacting and giving knowledge of what can be done better or safely which they mention numerous times. I would suggest watching other videos where they state numerous times that it is easy for them to comment just sitting there and not being in the situation. AWP does amazing things but several people that have been apart of this crew has stepped away because of the dangers being around them.
@@westoncrockett5968 again, if those guys from the other channel want to do something to help, simply gear up and do whar AWP do 🤷♀️. I found it was soooo annoying when they were complaining about one AWP episode not having the “diving flag” placed in the river AWP was diving. They should get their “flag”’ theory and shovel up their a$$e$ before opening their mouth about anything that AWP do!
Not only the family is uncooperative, but the local fish are as well. You just can't trust shady grouchy aggressive fish, as they are obviously hiding something. Great job, and as much as it sucks.. you can not win them all! Great video guys!!
You guys are so awesome. I seen you guys playing with the fish. Lol back to the story. If I had money or if I ever come along a large amount of money I will be donating what ever you need to make it easier for you to get the equipment, gas, food, etc. Thank you so much for your hand work. Lisa Hall. Mobile, Alabama.
Thank you to all of you and your families for doing what you do and ! I am dedicated to everyone that is included in Jared and Doug's video's. Josh and Carson are doing a 100% better job then the one before at editing the videos.
It is sad that this was not Kenny. But thank you to Jared, Doug, Josh, Carson, Jeremy, Jacob and Lindsey for all that you do in trying to find those who were lost.
I'm Kenneth's first granddaughter and only seen pictures of him and it's worried me that he may have been murdered and my dad will at least have relief to know that his daddy is found dead or alive but really thank y'all for trying to help us really it means alot hopefully it will be a closed case one day and our family will have closure and relief

I agree, but major networks expect a sensationalized outcome. These men keep it real.
Seeing you guys laughing and enjoying yourselves with the fish made me so happy.
I know this family personally. I also know that this was hard to re-visit for them. I pray one day they get answers. Yalls hard work is appreciated, and doesn't go unnoticed!

@@mommabear4232 I believe it’s more about the fact that they don’t want to put their own safety (risking someone who was involved come after them) in jeopardy
It sounded like the sister thought the pond behind his in-laws may have been somewhere to look at. She mentioned that pond while on the phone call, but nobody ever sad anymore about it.
I have a lot of superstitions abt the pond that my aunt was talking abt the guy we’re thinking killed himself not to long ago for no reason nobody had looked at the pond yet and the only thing that has ever been found was his toolbox in the river they never found the truck I’m thinking the guy murdered him in his truck threw his toolbox in the river to throw off investigators and drove the truck into his pond and his truck is covered in mud in a pond but sunk to the bottom that’s my supstition
The emotional ups & downs that everyone goes through must be exhausting. Unfortunately everyone involved has experienced this. Thank you AWP for always hanging in there no matter what. 👍❤️ God bless each & every one of you & my heart & prayers go out to the Stricklin family. 🙏 May Kenny rest in peace. 🕊️
Sad that you guys were not able to find Kenny. But I loved the reaction you guys had to the fish and being able to have a little bit of lite heartiness in such a serious and sometimes stressful time
You all are some brave folks getting into the water with gators and a boat filled with air. Love watching you solve missing cases and helping families getting answers.
You guys did a great job... Pretty brave to be in waters with aggressive fishes and swimming alligators....
Kenny may never be found..But you did an awesome job in trying to find him...In that moment he was not forgotten.. Wherever he may be,rest in peace..🕊️
My heart goes out to the family members...🙏🏾💖
You guys have a very unique channel. Compassion, expertise, teamwork abilities, no hidden agendas & a genuine concern for the families of loved ones who have been missing. It’s just amazing how some people get amnesia after calling for Adventures With Purpose.
A quote from Zig Ziglar who was from Yazoo City MS.... “Remember that failure is an event, not a person.” Jerry Clower also from Yazoo City has one of the best coon hunting stories ever. A lot of history has come out of that little town.
I needed to hear that quote today. Thank you! :) ❤️ to all.
Jared, will you return to other cases with the magnetometer? Crew safety was paramount in this episode as evident from Jared’s concern when Doug and Nug were diving to stepping away from the discussion there at the end. My heart started beating faster when the water got deeper and they saw a vehicle, though it wasn’t the one. The crazy leaping fish and Doug’s lowering of provisions off a bridge brought out some laughter from you guys and made my day! The fish felt like a sign saying Kenny is here!
Yes, we have plans to return to many previous cases.
@@AdventuresWithPurpose What about this one ? Willl you go back ?
Did you notice when editing and not on your cell phone, - that that other pond DID have access to it ? It was not as clear as the other pond, but there was clearly access to it cutting through the trees inbetween the 2 ponds.
Love the effort, work, and care you put into everything you do.
If we had more people doing helpful work, meaningful work in the pursuit to help others, - we'd be in a much better place.
I will always keep my hopes and dreams alive that one day we will have an overabundance of such organizations and groups of people that we find it difficult finding them any work to focus on.
Sadly there is, - and will remain, - a large void to fill in variuos areas requiring help and assistance in various ways, - not just cold cases, missing people.
I have faith that your continued dedication, consideration, and care, - as well as your wonderful presentation of such difficult and often very complicated situations and scenarios will continue to bring light to the eyes of others and get more people thinking about the lack of resources, funding, and especially the degredation of available assets and manpower available, - or able to be assigned to such endeavors and for how long due to cut back and that lack of, or decrease of funding.
Which is why operations and people like you are absolutely vital and so very important always, - but especially in harder times when certain areas, or industries are negatively impacted and funding dries up or was never there to begin with... but Im sure you guys are WELL aware of that.
I just hope other become more and more aware of that, and take the time to consider such truths and facts.
These videos should continue to get some thinking and realising such Im sure.
And its definitely not just in water search and rescue that we could use such assitance and helpful organizations obviously. But I think its likely always been a mostly underfunded part of things.
Im sure if we had more people doing the work that you are could even help avoid things from ever reaching this point by simply having these groups of trained and caring individuals/organizations operating in more number.
And available to jump into the mix with officials if, - and when these cases are "current" and not "cold."
Simply because having an organization/group to count on in any local area could free up and reduce operation costs of such operations to give search and rescue efforts another day, or two, or more even. Which we all know means a big deal in determining the outcome of such situations.
So it would be nice to see more going about such things.
And I think your vdeos help to provide some "REAL" viewing value to people, - and over time should get more thinking about such things and their importance.
You definitely got your channel name perfect with the use of the word "purpose" for sure.
I apologize for so typing so much, - and am confident in saying that you guys know these things well and dont need me to bring it up, but maybe some other viewers will hapen upon and read it, and it may help them consider what they were unable to, - and didnt think about while watching the video.
Thanks for all the work you guys do. Keep it up, and stay safe. Dont take unnecessary risks.
Those Asian Carp have so many bones in them that they are to boney to eat. Asians do eat them though. I've never eaten them but they (Asians) say that they are good. May God Bless and Keep all of AWP in His Precious Care!!!
@@AdventuresWithPurpose maybe the polka guy.
Firstly, the joy at the jumping fish was so refreshing & delightful.
Secondly, y’all looked where his truck could have been. Looking for vehicles is what you do. Getting involved with the messes surrounding some of those vehicles is not yours to sort out.
I’m looking forward to seeing what you can find with the magnetometer!
Blessings & Abundance to y’all & those that you love.
I agree totally, some of these people think your there to solve murders etc, love your show, but would love you to stick with cars and missing people
Those fish are actually an invasive species that is destroying the rest of the marine life.
@@thelibrariansupermanny That’s terrible. I’ll go look for it and read about it.
Thank you
I saw that they are still trying to fund raise for the magnetometer,they posted a go fund ,only raised about 1/3 so far.Just imagine if everyone donated just $1
Im a mechanic an live in New Jersey where cars an trucks rust out fast. I have owned an repaired many old square body Chevy trucks its possible the truck your looking for has rotted to the ground in the river after 30 years. You should maybe look for an engine sticking up or something like that. Anyway you guys are great keep up the great work! My heart goes out to Kenny's family.
WOW-that was quite a suspenseful day! Thanks for all you do to help families find answers. I also really appreciate your sincere, tender & yet frank approach with the families as well as your audience.
Thanks for your dedication and determination!❤
Jared, I live by everything happens for a reason! I'll never forget that first one you stumbled across "WO-WO-WO CALL THE COPS". 💜💜This is your reason for being there at that moment. You're helping these families!! Don't forget your own mental state as well! **Josh/Carson thanks for showing the jumping fish...nice to see you guys laughing
Thank you all for the volunteer services you offer to families. I loved the unexpected silver jumping fish! The videos just keep getting better! Sent you something from Amazon Wish List.
Doug is so much better on camera than he used to be! And someone taught him how to say "supposedly" haha. Love you guys, keep up the good work.
What about all the people not saying you all or you guys instead they say yall.. Which is not even a word.
@@me6737 Oh yes, it is. It's a contraction. you + all = y'all
Knowing how much of a toll it can take on you guys doing this great service to families, it was nice to see how you can have some levity in some situations...grab a laugh and excitement when you can @23:33 .. excitement was palpable. What's in the bag? Fish Filets. That said I hope, especially for Kenny Sr, his son will be found.
This case may just be an accident, but it also sounds like foul play. I’m with Jared on this one, better to play it safe. If other divers want to search for Kenny, just be careful. It’s too bad that the family couldn’t have answers for this search. My heart and prayers go out to the family of Kenny Stricklin. 🙏🙏 To Jared, Doug, Josh, Carson, Jeremy, Jacob and Lindsey: Thank you for everything you do to bring answers to families!!! God Bless you all and always be safe! ❣🤿😺😊
So a big huge bird killed him.lol. Just messing.lol.Have a great day.
I hope and pray to god u guys find him and Jared you and ur guys be safe out there you guys do amazing work and god bless you guys and be safe!!!
@@fuzzybutkus8970 I was gonna ask too. Which fiel? Turkey, chicken, buzzard?🤣
@Jade Ravenwolf Oops, I meant "foul". Thanks for catching that. I usually catch those typos, so, I guess I'm not perfect. 😃
Probably a goose! We all know how mean those b@stards can be lol
Great episode!
30 years of rumors- I feel like a lot of the time, the older a case gets with no new information, the more rumors there are to try to explain it. Could just be an accident.
I’ll say this a million times, thank you for doing what you’re doing. I imagine it’s one of the toughest but most rewarding job.
That got my skin crawling! I can't help feeling the vehicle you found is some vital clue to the truth. Not necessarily to bring Kenny home, but as to why he hasn't been so far. Just feel we're missing something. Maybe this is what was needed to push thoughts in a different direction? The universe works in mysterious ways. Respect xxx
Kennys family are one step closer to him now. Nothing is in vane.
I think you are right. They need to check other water around that area.
Obviously, the person that sent. The email knew something. That AWP didn't know. You might not have found Kenny. But you did help the police. Which is always a good thing. Without really getting involved in questionable rumors, etc. My hope is Kenny will be found. I always say, never say never. When one least expects it. A case could be solved. Pray that the family will be able to stay strong and find some peace. Well done! Another great and meaningful episode.
LOUD SCREAM!!!
What is with your punctuation?
While these haters choose to critize me. I choose to bless them. I will not lower myself to their level. The world has enough toxicity in it. I refuse to contribute to it. Recommendation read the community comment guidelines. Also, strong recommendation. Rather, then gripe about something. That is of no concern to you. Make better use of your time. Go out in your communities. Help someone in need. Less griping and more loving your fellow man.
@@davidwoermansr Thank you! I appreciate that your heart/mindset. It Is in an open and positive place. It's time to stand up to rudness and vulgarity. Take our world back. For the sake our future/present children. The world is full of broken people. We don't need. To add more brokenness to it. Social platforms are intended to be social not antisocial. I respect and appreciate your comment.
I can tell by how Jared acted and laughed when the fish jumped around that he has fond memories of fishing when he was younger. Fun moment guys!
Jacob (Chaos Divers) wearing a shirt that hits close to home. Y’all are doing an amazing job. Not many people these days put others before themselves. I applauded everyone for everything they do. Keeping doing what yall do and never quit.
Sad that you didn’t find Kenny. Sounds like a lot of unlawful crap down in Mississippi ! Prayers that the family can get answers.
Lot of unlawful crap going on in the whole world these days .
That's an under statement....born in Mississippi...left as soon as I could
Don't put down one state. Look at the world.
@@suzannebaxter5629 isn’t that what I said??
@@suerichards47 Most of the world is a lot better off than America.
Jared keep doing what you are doing. You are changing lives one way or another!!! Much love and appreciation!!
It would be a closure that the family needs and hopefully answers to many question. Prayers for the family.
I think the phrase you guys are looking for when informing the families that you found a target worth diving is “cautiously optimistic”.
Exactly my thoughts; cautious in that it may very well be what you're looking for, but optimistic that either way, someone's going to have answers as to their missing vehicle and/or loved one.
You guys always do a great job,and this one is deep.
You guys!!!❣️ With all of the amazing work you do, you DESERVE some diversion.... I can only imagine how you feel when you do finally locate the missing, so enjoy the little things!! The fish jumping were awesome. Thank you THANK YOU CREW, FOR YOUR HELP and please be safe, continue your good fight, and may you always be blessed!
It was nice to see you guys have some fun. You're dealing with some dark stuff. Glad to see you have a moment of enjoyment.
AWP team, thank you for looking for Kenny and locating a vehicle in a case. Kenny, please be patient, someone will find where your at soon. Just not the right time yet. Please keep watching over your family and friends, they really need you right now.
I like that you challenge each other on what you are thinking. Keeps you open and clearheaded. Keep up the good work!
I hope Jared you are ok. A few videos ago seemed like you were traumatized, and rightfully so. I am so sorry that these cases have to be done, but you and you’re team are just so amazing. I am inspired by your bravery to do this work.
=rrrrds÷d was d#dd#
Traumatized??? Which videos were those??
Every search y’all go on, recovery or not, is a teaching moment. I see lessons in safety paramount to the mission, sharing of knowledge and skill, team effort, and teaching why getting vehicles out of our waterways is so important. I’m excited for the added layer of magnitrometer (sp?) science.
Sooooo interesting , thank you all for all the hard work you are doing to find loved ones !
Thanks for not saying yall!
I love watching the videos you guys post. I especially enjoy the videos that end with the solving of the case. I know you guys wish you could solve them all. Anyways best of luck keep up the awesome work!
This episode helped me understand the live scope way more. Thank you for explaining it in detail!
Jared and Doug your our Heroes because you give us hope that one day we will have a proper burial for our own child i am forever grateful
I love watching this channel…. All of you are to be commended for your efforts put forth in helping families. It is not any easy task that you do. ❤️❤️
30 years ago. Things were so much different. It was like living in a different world.
What an interesting twist at the end. I feel for the family. They need answers. Thank u again for all u guys do.
I like how you guys use toy cars to demonstrate how the vehicles need to be moved to preserve evidence, great job AWP!
We appreciate what you do. It's sad it wasn't the truck but what counts is the effort you all put in it. Stay safe Jared and crew.
What a great channel. I could watch these videos all day. Thanks for your hard work and determination.
God bless you boys... in that muddy water... The thing you do for families.... absolutely speachless.
I'm so thankful for people like these. I takes a special person to have a heart to do this. I pray God will help you find lost love ones and bring them home. God bless rescuers everywhere.
Thanks for another video. You guys do an amazing job. Though you haven't found him yet, you will eventually. Prayers for everyone
So much love and respect for all of you! Never give up! You are bringing answers to so many families! God bless your entire team!
This was great guys!!! ♥️🤣🙏🏼 love to see you having fun while helping so many others!
My heart goes out to that family especially the father - May someone step up with new info.
I’m giggling a bit, because I’m glad you got to take some time for a little fun, but also that the fun led up to running out of gas 😂. That’s quite the adventure! Thanks for all that you do!
Best part was running out of gas 😂😂 like whooooooopsies this fishing took longer than intended 😂😂
Awesome job 👍
The dream would be to one day have multiple teams that way you guys can cover as much territory in the country as possible. Imagine the amount of cases you could solve. You could have a team of people just prior researching areas and prepping info and locations. A team taking emails with case suggestions. The things you guys could do with the proper funding. That would be amazing to be a part of.
We are putting a second team together now.
@@AdventuresWithPurpose what if that tool box came from that car means that girl knows the owner of that car to be a murder. Red Flag there which I feel connects that girl to the possible crime and she portrays herself as the victim of rape and car jacked and dumped her car with evidence in the river that seems to make clear sense to me. ???? JUST WHAT IF???
Wow I didn’t know y’all came all the way down here. Would’ve loved to see you in action. Been watching you guys for a while now and it’s very different to actually see y’all do this for people you don’t know. It’s so solemn and amazing at the same time. Giving people their names back. Family getting that terrible closure they need. I’m sure if everyone knew what you guys do they would thank you for finding people they don’t even know.
Also when trying to find out what area looked like in the past you could use the historical aerial viewer
😂 Jared and Josh sounded like kids on Christmas morning!! That was so funny to see the pure enjoyment on their faces. There is your sign your doing the right thing. God bless each of you and your families for being willing to help those who are looking for answers. I thank God for you all who are taking the risks of it all. Stay safe!!
Thank you for the amazing work my he rip where his soul is my deepest condolences to the family
Even though it was wrong day for you to find Kenny, as always you give it your ALL.
I will admit to laughing at those fish, and as for the Alligator, I was sure I spotted one on livescreen about 5 minute before you pointed it out.
This show was superbly spliced together.
Keep looking, you'll find a golden nugget in time. 🏴 Betty from Scotland 🏴
I love what all of you do. Your doing an awesome recovery!
I loved seeing the follow-up on the vehicle that, while it wasn't Kenny, had its own interesting story. I always wonder what the story is behind all the other found vehicles or mysterious objects found that aren't the target. Would love to see follow-up coverage on what the story on those turned out to be - obviously not something AWP has time for but would be fascinating for sure.
I hope Kenny's family gets some answers soon.
You all always try to be 100% respectful of all involved and I really have great admiration for you guys and what you do. Doesn’t always turn out the way you would like but you always give 100%. Thank you for what you do. God Bless You all.
Pray for Ridwan Kamil's son, the Governor of West Java in Indonesia, his son was reported to have been swept away by the river in Aaere, Switzerland, it's been 4 days & still no news.
I hope he is found soon & that he is well.
You guys are truly hero’s or angels! You give answers to so many who have had none
Thanks!
I'm miles away in Europe and it moves my heart to see what a wonderful mission you guys have taken upon yourselves to continually risk your lives, with such determination to seek out and find the lost, thus bringing a mournful-but yet a great comfort to their family, relatives and friends. THANKS!When I see your videos, It makes you realized that there are determine friends and families who will not give up, on lost ones. THANKS ONCE AGAIN FOR SHARING AND FELLOWS STAY SAFE. GOD BLESS YOU ALL REAL GOOD.
It's good that you have a moment of laughter in such sad moments where you have to find someone who cries your family my respects to you I love you
Thanks for all you do...watching your videos keeps me from thinking about what's going on in the state of Texas
Surprise! One of the funniest things about rivers in the Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia areas is that they can LOOK shallow, but are actually quite deep. For example, many people think the Ocmulgee River at GA Highway 18 is only a few feet deep, but it's around 20-25 feet deep at points. The muddy waters can disguise the true depths of the river. Great idea going in, guys!
23:00 minute mark.... love that you guys can take some fun where you can get it. I love the work that you do. it means so much to everyone but that doesn't mean that you have to be 100% serious all day. take a breath and enjoy the work that you all are doing. Best of luck to you all in all your endeavors.
I came across with a “divers reacting AWP” video that was discusting! I wrote them: “wanna help?!? Gear up and help AWP!”.
You guys in AWP did what those who call themselves “professional divers” has never done: help families in agony for many years for free. God bless you all!
You must not have watched the whole video. Or you don’t truly understand diving.
@@westoncrockett5968 maybe you did not understand my message 🤷♀️. I am sided with AWP . I am against those “professional divers” videos that “react” on what AWP do. It is easy to critisize AWP’s work when they have their a**es in a comfy chair.
Those “professionals” help no one and wants to put down those who do something to help others.
Did you get it now???
I am a fan of AWP, but at the same time dive talk channel are not incorrect. I thought some of their comments before Doug showed up was not in good taste and when Doug showed up they were a bit patronizing toward him. This doesn’t mean they are wrong in their dive safety knowledge. They had good points.
@@PetiteGatita I am a big fan of what they do put they are simply reacting and giving knowledge of what can be done better or safely which they mention numerous times. I would suggest watching other videos where they state numerous times that it is easy for them to comment just sitting there and not being in the situation. AWP does amazing things but several people that have been apart of this crew has stepped away because of the dangers being around them.
@@westoncrockett5968 again, if those guys from the other channel want to do something to help, simply gear up and do whar AWP do 🤷♀️. I found it was soooo annoying when they were complaining about one AWP episode not having the “diving flag” placed in the river AWP was diving.
They should get their “flag”’ theory and shovel up their a$$e$ before opening their mouth about anything that AWP do!
Great Video Guys ❤️ Thanks for sharing your time with all of us ❤️ Love watching your videos
Not only the family is uncooperative, but the local fish are as well. You just can't trust shady grouchy aggressive fish, as they are obviously hiding something. Great job, and as much as it sucks.. you can not win them all! Great video guys!!
You guys are so awesome. I seen you guys playing with the fish. Lol back to the story. If I had money or if I ever come along a large amount of money I will be donating what ever you need to make it easier for you to get the equipment, gas, food, etc. Thank you so much for your hand work. Lisa Hall. Mobile, Alabama.
Thank you to all of you and your families for doing what you do and ! I am dedicated to everyone that is included in Jared and Doug's video's. Josh and Carson are doing a 100% better job then the one before at editing the videos.
Respect all your things you all do. Great job
Awesome work, guys. There's just SO much more to this work than just a guy in scuba suit. So much more.
Alligator? YIKES.
Thank all of you for everything trying to find missing loved one. You did your best!!! Please be safe.
It is sad that this was not Kenny. But thank you to Jared, Doug, Josh, Carson, Jeremy, Jacob and Lindsey for all that you do in trying to find those who were lost.
