@@juliannmorris6478 I'm mostly really curious what prompted him to drop it. Lobsters are known to drop claws, and regrow an identical one after several moults, but... it's usually to escape or in a fight.
I hope you’re doing well, now. I feel the same way - there’s definitely a strength for mankind in Brady’s videos. I’m glad we both found a happy place in a time of difficulty!
I thought of that, too, esp. when I saw that satanic looking mask on the wall, and the stone item that looked like it could be used for sacrificing animals... or something..
I would love to see Brady trying to find whomever were in the photos. That birthday photo might truly means something to the grandchild of that senior. May be one of the only pictures of him. Breaks my heart thinking that...
around a year ago I left a comment on another Leon video about how I and my long distance partner(between the US and Denmark) kept in contact and bonded over these videos. And now we've lived together in Denmark for around half a year, and just today we got married. So obviously this series has meant so much to both of us, and we're happy to still get updates on little old Leon and all the other critters
I'm very impressed and appreciative that you took the cleaned up old camera and the photos developed from the film *back* to the house and left them there. You followed the code of taking nothing. I respect that.
The only thing I think he should have done is place the photos in an airtight container, as it may be years before the place is reclaimed by someone who may want to see them.
You bet, Brady, I totally enjoyed your video. I loved everything about it. I love it when you stumble across abandoned buildings. That abandoned log cabin was very strange. It looked like someone just walked out and left. The coins on the piece of furniture, the old camera. Apparently, someone liked music. There was a music stand as well. Are we going to be surprised if you look into that cabin and be the one who cleans it out to refurbish it? Umm, probably not, but maybe we will wait and see. Thank you, Brady, for sharing Leon with us. I always look forward to the next video. Oh, and speaking of Fraya ( forgive the spelling ), I hope you eventually take her in and make the family complete. Well, till next time, Brady, and it can't come soon enough❤❤❤
In the case of the cabin, a lot of properties like that get abandoned when the elderly owners pass away or go into a home. The family either doesn't know about or isn't interested in the property. The calendar briefly seen at 23:20; I can make out that July 7th was a Tuesday. So it was probably abandoned sometime in 2020 or 2015. The photo of the guy smoking the cig looks like it matches that timeframe. The elderly gentleman in the photos is probably the owner. Local municipality should be able to tell you who owns it.
I also paused the video to check. No easy to see year, dang it. But July 1, 2015 was a Wednesday not a Thursday. Now July 1, 2010, 2004, 1999, or even 1993 started on a Thursday. Could go further back but I think it was somewhere around there.
@@horizon319 If the Calendar is July 1st on a Thursday by your theory, then the next Thursday should be July 8th. However, July 9th is already occupying what appears to be Thursday. Coincidentally, that July Calendar looks exactly like January of 2025 lol.
@@mikeychowster I didn’t think to check the following week’s numbers. I only looked at the first, the month, the day, and to see if I could find a year. It’s not super important, mostly curiosity.
@@mikeychowster You’re right - I think it is a Wednesday on the first. Perhaps the ink for the first and the Sundays was in red and so faded earlier. Edit to say the Thursday is actually the second. That’s what I get for watching on my tiny phone rather than the tv. 😅
I love that one never knows what to expect from a Leon video. Love catching up with Leon, as always. This was a profoundly deep, beautiful and evocative video. You are truly a very special person, with a super power of perception. Thank you for sharing your world with us.
Oh man I can't stand to see that beautiful cabin just left to decay. It looks like it's completely solid and salvageable to me! I wouldn't even know where to begin to find out how to get possession of an abandoned building, but if I lived close enough, I'd sure find out. Maybe a potential project for you Brady? You saved Leon, now save the cabin! :)
Brady I was researching Maine lobster moulting last year and there could be a few reasons why Leon is taking his time. There is also a technique to force the moult but it is horrific ( eye ablation , cutting off the eye stalks) Apparently in Fall , Maine lobsters gorge themselves on seaweed, Kelp and algae. As the days gets shorter , these plants die off and become free floating and easier for lobsters to source. These sea plants are full of nutrients and fibre and are easily digested by crustaceans. Then in spring the temps rise stimulating the fattened lobsters to moult. There is also something to do with low protein in the seaweeds as foods high in protein can cause crabs and prawns to excrete calcium. In some cases , this can lead to shell rot in crabs ( I don't know about lobsters but as they are crustaceans...) So maybe get Leon some greens? If you could forage some kelps, seaweeds and algae from an ocean beach ( You could probably freeze it) and give him a little every day? Also maybe dose the tank with calcium, aquariums sell calcium supplements for those keeping corals. Im sure Leon will eventually moult but i thought id share some advice just in case.
I have to thank you for making your videos so peaceful and relaxing to watch. I've had a terrible last 48 hours due to the wild fires in my area with no power at my house, smoke and ash everywhere and hearing from multiple friends that they've lost everything. Your video just gave me 30 minutes to put that aside and take a breath. Thank you.
Palisades fire? I’m in SoCal just like you but further down south and inland near Murrieta . It’s just horrific what is happening . I pray your home is spared .
Watching Leon and friends gives me the same comforting feeling I got as a child watching Hammy Hamster adventures. Very pleasant and calming. Thank you Brady for giving us a fascinating glimpse at your life adventures. Been watching since Leon joined your family of friends.
After hearing confirmation that Lobsters do go through immense pain while being boiled alive, I am so thankful that I have never eaten lobster. We also have nicknames for our pets and they change over the years. Eventually one looses count of how many nicknames they have and sometimes we remember an old nickname we have forgotten about. Jet and his sister are gorgeous cats. The photo you took of the trees reflecting on the dam is stunning.
That house...it makes me extremely sad. I can't believe I feel this strongly about it. I get the feeling that the adage you can't take it when you go is very strong here. This place is beautiful. You can tell not many people come across it.
Same here. As soon as Brady rescued Leon from the supermarket, i stopped eating lobster. And, after seeing the cute hungry crabs, no more crabs either.
I love Leon. It is so fascinating to see his business and his daily life. Perhaps he needs his food intake bumped up a notch as he’s older now he would need more food to metabolize than he did when he was younger. This is what I do when I notice my snake chant shed in some time. As growth is what promotes molting. It’s so fun to watch all Leon’s friends too. I’m such an animal person. Since I was small I was collecting every live bug, salamander, frog, snake, or animal that needed some tlc . This often included snakes too. My mom wasn’t very happy with me when she would find my critters taking up residence in my bedroom. Today the critters gravitate to me still as they did back then. I have a lovely amount of mourning doves that sit in the railing to the deck and sing bright and early in the morning. My son is not so keen on this as it’s right outside his bedroom window and has become his morning alarm. The cats love the birds. The sit in the patio door and watch intently. We do make up names for or cats. Nephertiti my python, is also danger noodle. Black Beard our one orange cat has kitty acne on his chin. I call him Bb. We adopted a feral cat that was hanging around the house and I have been able to tame him really well. He’s now an indoor cat. I call him Dobby after the house elf in the Harry Potter books as he’s always doing crazy things. But out of pure innocence. At night he sleeps in short shifts then he prowls every room checking everything out and checking everyone out in their beds. Then he will lie back down for a rest. And then awhile later he will make his rounds again as if he’s protecting his people and territory. I’m the only one he trusts enough to let live on him an he will sleep on me. I could go on forever. I love my animals. The house definitely should be refinished. It has such potential. I love exploring. I’ve always been an explorer. Looking for treasure in the bushes by our house had tons of bushes surrounding our house. Back to the critters, people in the neighborhood knew I was the critter girl. So periodically someone would drop of a bug or a bird. We had lots of squirrels. Mom and I were making cookies in the kitchen one autumn da day. The table sat right next to the window. We had the window open. I took a batch out and turned around to put them on the table to cool. And ine of my little squirrel grinds, I believe it was chip. Was hanging from the screen begging for a cookie. He chattering so loud. Mom can in the kitchen asking what all the commotion was. Then started laughing. So that day. Chip got his first oatmeal cookie. I also to a couple out for Dale, and others. Happy New Year! And thank you for sharing your critters. I love the last video also!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
When you took that camera and the photos back to the house, it brought a smile to my face. Not a lot of people would bother to do that. As always, I enjoyed this video thoroughly.
Brady, this is such a fascinating video! Not only do we see and learn about Leon, filters for the tank water, the crabs, the anemones eating blood worms (!), and your kitties, but we go on adventure with you to the abandoned house! Yes, unfinished, but I’m guessing some militia guys might have been using it as a shelter/hangout. Good on you, cleaning up the camera, getting the photos developed, and putting them back in place where maybe some family member will find it.
Love your videos! Thanks for the updates on Leon. You are so courageous to walk into that house and explore. I thought there would've been a lot more wildlife living in that abandoned house. Also, it was really thoughtful for you to bring back the pictures developed! You are one of a kind, and the world needs more people like you!
Ah, the quality of your videos just keeps getting better and better! What a joy to watch! So beautifully framed and edited - the work you put in does not go unnoticed, my friend. I'm in the UK and just love your travels into the woods - how stunning! I have 3 cats of my own so i love to see yours and delight in the progress of the kittens, and I'm as fascinated as you clearly are with Leon. Please keep up the good work!🤗
So sad to see such a wonderful, solid cabin in such a state. It was someone's dream who perhaps died or became disabled and couldn't get there any longer. The cook stove reminded me of one we had in a cabin we built and sold to a family member who just left it in the same state. Recently, the area burned in the Park Fire in California, so now I know it is really gone.
That picture... a magical moment indeed! You have so many talents, dear Brady. I wish you a very excellent year 2025. May it be filled with Health, and Joy, for your family (all species included) and yourself. And I wish us many many more of your excellent videos. 🥰
When I saw the old photos and the abandoned house with ALL the stuff in it (old and new), it made me go into detective mode and made me think of the youtube/instagram/tiktok guy Dan Rhodo (aka Shot and Forgot aka Danocracy). He buys batches of old film slides at auction and tries to reunite them with family by using clues in the photos and any writing on the slides to cross-check anything he finds to piece together the story. I wish he could take a look at it and see if he could figure out any leads!!! That would be a VERY cool collaboration. He lives in Texas, too. So... kind of far from Georgia, but not impossible... and also they could collaborate digitally- photos, videos, chat... There were TONS of clues as to the last time(s) people may have been there and to what kinds of people they were. I bet you could do a land search and find out who owns/ed the land and go from there, too. It had electricity, so either they were clever and ran generators or they had an address and a power bill associated with someone's name. Look at the calendar, the dvds and games? that were upstairs to determine release dates, the expiration dates on the mustard and other condiments in the kitchen, some of the letters and papers, see if there was any writing on the back of those framed photos by the camera, etc. I bet you could piece together quite a story!
You have THE most interesting vids sir that cover a variety of things in one vid. I sure enjoy watching. TY TY Leon and tripod cat looking awesome btw. 😊😻🦞
What a shame that cabin has been abandoned. It has such great potential. Worthwhile project for someone who likes to restore homes. It would make a great vacation home or just a regular home.
Brady, you’ve had me hooked since you brought Leon home from the grocery store and you NEVER cease to amaze me. I am impressed you practice the code of a responsible adventurer - taking nothing - and if appropriate, leaving an area or an object better than you found it. I enjoyed your reference to the Sea Monkeys. I was obsessed with them as a kid, but I guess my parents knew better - no Sea Monkeys for me. That abandoned cabin is a true wonder. The possibilities . . . Thank you so much for sharing your experiences. Always a pleasure.
I have started to rewatch from the beginning. I'm surprised at how much I forgot. Like how his claw was paralysed for a while after you released it. I'm enjoying the journey even more the second time.
That cabin was really cool. It’s a shame it is in disarray. If only walls could talk. I don’t know which is creepier that mask or the knife in the ceiling. That was so cool of you to take film have it processed and return from where you found it. It would be wild if a family member of that cabin followed you and went back to retrieve those pictures. Would love to know if they did. Would also love the back story of that cabin. 😊
Great video. Thanks for this Brady. I loved that you went into that abandoned house and got the film developed. It seems to me they just stopped building it and left. I really enjoyed this one. Keep us updated on Leon's molting. 🥰
I love ❤ this video! Thanks a lot! What a nice house in the woods. Sad to see it’s not finished and looks like never will be 😢 Great you took the camera and the photos back! 👍🏻
Brady, I used to live in the Lower Keys and Key West Fla. On my way to my home in Key West from my business on Big Pine Key , I would often stop at a local Fresh seafood store to buy something for dinner (I lived with a chef). They allowed you to decide to buy live spiny lobsters or lobster tails. The first time that I opted for choosing live lobsters, the employee removed the tails. The lobsters scream as their tails are wrenched off. They definitely feel pain, as do plants as it turns out. Every living thing wants to continue to live. The strangely unfinished house had an identical sofa and fabric that I had made about twelve years ago, what an odd coincidence. We also have owned 10 Pugs like the one in the developed film! Thanks for the great updates on your life, the cats , the chickens, the Koi and Leon! It is always fun to find a fresh post. I grew up in Allendale SC and Savannah Ga in the 50's, and I have family in Wilson NC. It is nice to see the familiar landscapes of my youth of so long ago, here in the Pacific Northwest so many decades later.
I love these tunes- to me, they're Leo's songs! I think they're really beautiful - oh! And of course I wish you guys a very happy new year! Lots of love from Denmark
That camera was kinda cool. And a couple of those pictures look like they might be worth having. Maybe the kids don't have any pictures of grandpa, and as adults may find it worth going back to see if they're still there. I know unlikely, but if the right person sees this video, you never know.
I've watched since the beginning. I love your videos and love seeing Leon. The style of your video creation is just so relaxing and interesting. Thank you for making these. Truly. 🫧🦞🌱💧
I'm always so glad to see Leon, the little crabs, and the cats and learn how they're doing. I can't believe how much Jet and his siblings have grown. The rescue I adopted nearly three years ago has put on a healthy weight (she was underweight when I got her due to anxiety making her eat less) but I think she's always going to be kind of a smaller cat. She hasn't grown much larger in size and she still sounds like a baby when she meows, which she does a lot now that she feels at home; she's a very social cat I've given my share of funny nicknames. I love seeing abandoned places. From the time I was a little kid I always had this curious impulse to explore inside. I also used to imagine all the ways I would renovate those abandoned homes if I could buy them and that was back before networks like HGTV made things like the "open concept" part of everyone's lexicon. Lol! Thank you for another video, they always bring a smile to my face.
You could definitely make an entire series of just exploring abandoned places - also, the calender on the bed read July, but the 31st of July seemed to have fallen on a Friday, which means that calender was there in 2020. It may have been abandoned due to something related to Covid... maybe the owner couldn't get to it, lost their job or financial security, or worse... who knows.
The gap from his carapace to the first tail segment is getting bigger they do that when getting ready to malt As a 15 ex lobster fisherman I’ve seen it many times
Amazing that I have been following this channel for 3 years. Absolutely amazing video as usual. Stunning photography as well. The animals and adventures are so educational, thank you.
that house in the woods was awesome. I too find abandoned places fascinating and also creepy. I wonder what chain of events lead to their abandonment after time as a happy home or whatever. Incidentally, if you go back, put a new film in the camera and a small sign telling visitors to take a photo of themselves or something nearby they like. See what you get.
I love your channel and Leon!😊❤️ I am so intrigued with all things Leon, lol! One thing about him that mesmerizes me is his mouth stuff- I’d never seen a lobster eat before! Those little fluttery things are so cute! You do such a great job on all your videos!🙏
Great to see you and Leon back again, Brady (Leon looks fantastic showing his beautiful blue colours) It seems ages since the last update. I loved you talking about Sea Monkeys; I was one of those conned by the adverts😂. I think I must have a telepathic connection to either Leon or yourself, Brady. Every time I start thinking about Leon, a new video shows up the next day. Hope you all stay happy and healthy❤
I would love to see that you put the picture (that was next to the camera) in a new frame and put it back as well. I hope the picture will last longer this way. 🤗🤗 Love your video’s and love Leon. Such a Great thing to look forward to every time.
Simply love you're videos, so full of the sort of things that interest me. Leon,the cats then beautiful hikes x totally fascinating building! Thai last could be a marvellous place to live,all the good bones are there. Then you get to thinking who lived there, what was its history. Thank you for another great video. 👍😊
Everytime im in the grocery store I cant walk past the lobster tanks. I was crying my eyes out Dec 23 in the grocery store, thinking they spend xmas alone in a tank miserable. 😮I know lol
Dang! Only 27 minutes. I kept wanting to say, "Wait! Go back! What was that in that corner?" And you didn't go down the stairs. What was downstairs??? Glad you didn't go out on the deck, though. You probably would have gone right through THAT one! :D
Brady that photograph is fantastic! I like all your plants too. Thank you for your videos. It is noticeable that you put a lot of effort into your videos. Thank you for your effort, I appreciate it. I have two cats and one dog, and a number of plants that I very much enjoy. Josh and Mittens ( 7 year old brothers) are the cats (Joshy Boy and Mittens Kittens affectionately), and we have Kora the dog (a 1 year , who I refer to as Little Stinka.... weird, but it's me. lol The old abandoned cabin/house... amazing. It does seem like somebody had some wonderful ideas about it one day and then something happened and no one picked up the rest of the job. It looks like it could be a wonderful home for someone.
I remember the sea monkey adds in the back of comic books in the 60's, so I had to laugh when you brought it up (great memories from the South Park episode too) - thanks for the update!
When you said "the RO unit" I was left puzzling over that for a minute of two until I realized that means Reverse Osmosis. ...and then you said Reverse Osmosis, which confirmed it. Leon still looks very happy.
Wow! That house is really heartbreaking. Would love research on it. Whose was it? What happened? I bet it has quite a story. Thanks so much for sharing Leon and other things. I truly enjoy and appreciate it.
It’s fascinating to me how shell crustaceans molt. My son has a huge salt water tank with live coral and fish. I can appreciate the time spent maintaining them. I never thought I would be drawn to watching the life of a saved lobster. 🦞 Thank you for drawing us in watching Leon. 😊

If it was a meth lab, it cannot be refurbished. They have likely contaminated the ground water.

We adopted a feral cat that was hanging around the house and I have been able to tame him really well. He’s now an indoor cat. I call him Dobby after the house elf in the Harry Potter books as he’s always doing crazy things. But out of pure innocence. At night he sleeps in short shifts then he prowls every room checking everything out and checking everyone out in their beds. Then he will lie back down for a rest. And then awhile later he will make his rounds again as if he’s protecting his people and territory. I’m the only one he trusts enough to let live on him an he will sleep on me. I could go on forever. I love my animals. The house definitely should be refinished. It has such potential. I love exploring. I’ve always been an explorer. Looking for treasure in the bushes by our house had tons of bushes surrounding our house. Back to the critters, people in the neighborhood knew I was the critter girl. So periodically someone would drop of a bug or a bird. We had lots of squirrels. Mom and I were making cookies in the kitchen one autumn da day. The table sat right next to the window. We had the window open. I took a batch out and turned around to put them on the table to cool. And ine of my little squirrel grinds, I believe it was chip. Was hanging from the screen begging for a cookie. He chattering so loud. Mom can in the kitchen asking what all the commotion was. Then started laughing. So that day. Chip got his first oatmeal cookie. I also to a couple out for Dale, and others. Happy New Year! And thank you for sharing your critters. I love the last video also!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm so glad we got a new year Leon video. Been worried about him since he lost his arm, I really hope he grows a new upgraded one.
When you took that camera and the photos back to the house, it brought a smile to my face. Not a lot of people would bother to do that. As always, I enjoyed this video thoroughly.
I love watching ur videos. Been here since the first day of rescuing Leon ❤️
I remember the sea monkey ads in comics along with the x-ray specs and jewellery ads too.... Take me back to those halycon days😢
I remember ads for vehicles you could fly on...comic books were wild and weird back in the 1960s and '70s!
That was lovely what a nice thing you did to take back the camera and photos! Thankyou for sharing always love your videos ❤😊
Thank you for another half hour of quality time Brady!
Brady, this is such a fascinating video! Not only do we see and learn about Leon, filters for the tank water, the crabs, the anemones eating blood worms (!), and your kitties, but we go on adventure with you to the abandoned house! Yes, unfinished, but I’m guessing some militia guys might have been using it as a shelter/hangout. Good on you, cleaning up the camera, getting the photos developed, and putting them back in place where maybe some family member will find it.
I forgot about the goldfish Glad to see them thriving too
Love your videos! Thanks for the updates on Leon. You are so courageous to walk into that house and explore. I thought there would've been a lot more wildlife living in that abandoned house. Also, it was really thoughtful for you to bring back the pictures developed! You are one of a kind, and the world needs more people like you!
Ah, the quality of your videos just keeps getting better and better! What a joy to watch! So beautifully framed and edited - the work you put in does not go unnoticed, my friend. I'm in the UK and just love your travels into the woods - how stunning! I have 3 cats of my own so i love to see yours and delight in the progress of the kittens, and I'm as fascinated as you clearly are with Leon. Please keep up the good work!🤗
So sad to see such a wonderful, solid cabin in such a state. It was someone's dream who perhaps died or became disabled and couldn't get there any longer. The cook stove reminded me of one we had in a cabin we built and sold to a family member who just left it in the same state. Recently, the area burned in the Park Fire in California, so now I know it is really gone.
That picture... a magical moment indeed! You have so many talents, dear Brady.
I wish you a very excellent year 2025. May it be filled with Health, and Joy, for your family (all species included) and yourself.
And I wish us many many more of your excellent videos. 🥰
You are a kind soul. Thanks again, for sharing your life.
I wonder if any of the viewers will reckognise someone in the photos. That would be cool :)
When I saw the old photos and the abandoned house with ALL the stuff in it (old and new), it made me go into detective mode and made me think of the youtube/instagram/tiktok guy Dan Rhodo (aka Shot and Forgot aka Danocracy). He buys batches of old film slides at auction and tries to reunite them with family by using clues in the photos and any writing on the slides to cross-check anything he finds to piece together the story. I wish he could take a look at it and see if he could figure out any leads!!! That would be a VERY cool collaboration. He lives in Texas, too. So... kind of far from Georgia, but not impossible... and also they could collaborate digitally- photos, videos, chat...
There were TONS of clues as to the last time(s) people may have been there and to what kinds of people they were. I bet you could do a land search and find out who owns/ed the land and go from there, too. It had electricity, so either they were clever and ran generators or they had an address and a power bill associated with someone's name. Look at the calendar, the dvds and games? that were upstairs to determine release dates, the expiration dates on the mustard and other condiments in the kitchen, some of the letters and papers, see if there was any writing on the back of those framed photos by the camera, etc. I bet you could piece together quite a story!
Your videos reminds me of a science class that you hope doesn't end . Great content as usual keep up the good work.
You have THE most interesting vids sir that cover a variety of things in one vid. I sure enjoy watching. TY TY Leon and tripod cat looking awesome btw. 😊😻🦞
What a shame that cabin has been abandoned. It has such great potential. Worthwhile project for someone who likes to restore homes. It would make a great vacation home or just a regular home.
The scenery in the shots from above are beautiful.
Brady, you’ve had me hooked since you brought Leon home from the grocery store and you NEVER cease to amaze me. I am impressed you practice the code of a responsible adventurer - taking nothing - and if appropriate, leaving an area or an object better than you found it.
I enjoyed your reference to the Sea Monkeys. I was obsessed with them as a kid, but I guess my parents knew better - no Sea Monkeys for me.
That abandoned cabin is a true wonder. The possibilities . . .
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences. Always a pleasure.
It is nice to see such good people like you. Loving the smallest of creatures, surprised by everything around you, bringing back the photos. ❤
I have started to rewatch from the beginning. I'm surprised at how much I forgot. Like how his claw was paralysed for a while after you released it. I'm enjoying the journey even more the second time.
Great mix of subjects! I always look forward to your videos!
THAT WAS A lovely old house and would look good done up. Lovely to see Leon still his usual self thanks for sharing take care Debbie uk xxxxx
That cabin was really cool. It’s a shame it is in disarray. If only walls could talk. I don’t know which is creepier that mask or the knife in the ceiling. That was so cool of you to take film have it processed and return from where you found it. It would be wild if a family member of that cabin followed you and went back to retrieve those pictures. Would love to know if they did. Would also love the back story of that cabin. 😊
Great video. Thanks for this Brady. I loved that you went into that abandoned house and got the film developed. It seems to me they just stopped building it and left. I really enjoyed this one. Keep us updated on Leon's molting. 🥰
Another lovely peek into another world! Thank you!👍✌️🫶😊
I love ❤ this video! Thanks a lot!
What a nice house in the woods. Sad to see it’s not finished and looks like never will be 😢
Great you took the camera and the photos back! 👍🏻
I always get a little saddened by forgotten photos and dumped, piles of pictures. That cabin is a stunner. Thanks for the critter updates!
You have a gift of making everything beautiful and interesting. Thank you
Brady, I used to live in the Lower Keys and Key West Fla. On my way to my home in Key West from my business on Big Pine Key , I would often stop at a local Fresh seafood store to buy something for dinner (I lived with a chef). They allowed you to decide to buy live spiny lobsters or lobster tails. The first time that I opted for choosing live lobsters, the employee removed the tails. The lobsters scream as their tails are wrenched off. They definitely feel pain, as do plants as it turns out. Every living thing wants to continue to live.
The strangely unfinished house had an identical sofa and fabric that I had made about twelve years ago, what an odd coincidence. We also have owned 10 Pugs like the one in the developed film!
Thanks for the great updates on your life, the cats , the chickens, the Koi and Leon! It is always fun to find a fresh post. I grew up in Allendale SC and Savannah Ga in the 50's, and I have family in Wilson NC. It is nice to see the familiar landscapes of my youth of so long ago, here in the Pacific Northwest so many decades later.
*Thank you so much, Brady! This is fascinating stuff! Your side adventures add so fun to Leon’s life story for us viewers!*
That carmera story is incredible, so glad you "borrowed" it and shared your findings
The cabin could be a nice future project.! Im sure we would all enjoy to watch it beeing restored & working. ❤
I love these tunes- to me, they're Leo's songs! I think they're really beautiful - oh! And of course I wish you guys a very happy new year! Lots of love from Denmark
That camera was kinda cool. And a couple of those pictures look like they might be worth having. Maybe the kids don't have any pictures of grandpa, and as adults may find it worth going back to see if they're still there.
I know unlikely, but if the right person sees this video, you never know.
I've watched since the beginning. I love your videos and love seeing Leon. The style of your video creation is just so relaxing and interesting. Thank you for making these. Truly. 🫧🦞🌱💧
I'm always so glad to see Leon, the little crabs, and the cats and learn how they're doing. I can't believe how much Jet and his siblings have grown. The rescue I adopted nearly three years ago has put on a healthy weight (she was underweight when I got her due to anxiety making her eat less) but I think she's always going to be kind of a smaller cat. She hasn't grown much larger in size and she still sounds like a baby when she meows, which she does a lot now that she feels at home; she's a very social cat I've given my share of funny nicknames. I love seeing abandoned places. From the time I was a little kid I always had this curious impulse to explore inside. I also used to imagine all the ways I would renovate those abandoned homes if I could buy them and that was back before networks like HGTV made things like the "open concept" part of everyone's lexicon. Lol! Thank you for another video, they always bring a smile to my face.
it's good that there are still places to process these old rolls of film... I know most of them closed down in the last 20 years.
This is just wonderful! What guts you had, going inside.
You could definitely make an entire series of just exploring abandoned places - also, the calender on the bed read July, but the 31st of July seemed to have fallen on a Friday, which means that calender was there in 2020.
It may have been abandoned due to something related to Covid... maybe the owner couldn't get to it, lost their job or financial security, or worse... who knows.
The gap from his carapace to the first tail segment is getting bigger they do that when getting ready to malt
As a 15 ex lobster fisherman I’ve seen it many times
Brady, I think the cabin would be a great get away for you. Beautiful place. Love your channel and Leon. Keep it up buddy. Your forever viewer 💯👍❤
Amazing that I have been following this channel for 3 years. Absolutely amazing video as usual. Stunning photography as well. The animals and adventures are so educational, thank you.
that house in the woods was awesome. I too find abandoned places fascinating and also creepy. I wonder what chain of events lead to their abandonment after time as a happy home or whatever. Incidentally, if you go back, put a new film in the camera and a small sign telling visitors to take a photo of themselves or something nearby they like. See what you get.
I love your channel and Leon!😊❤️ I am so intrigued with all things Leon, lol! One thing about him that mesmerizes me is his mouth stuff- I’d never seen a lobster eat before! Those little fluttery things are so cute! You do such a great job on all your videos!🙏
A little help for now, Brady and Leon. So interesting. Thank You!
amaraland1 thank you so much!!! I’ll tell Leon and the cats. ✌️✌️✌️
YAY!!!! IT'S LEON!!!!
I feel the same way every time. Love Leon!! 🥰🥰🥰
Great to see you and Leon back again, Brady (Leon looks fantastic showing his beautiful blue colours) It seems ages since the last update. I loved you talking about Sea Monkeys; I was one of those conned by the adverts😂.
I think I must have a telepathic connection to either Leon or yourself, Brady. Every time I start thinking about Leon, a new video shows up the next day.
Hope you all stay happy and healthy❤
The right reaction to seeing ancient cat pictures. “Nice”.
I just love your channel so much.
Great film! Thanks for putting this together
AK magazine filled with steel case 7.62 x 39 and a Scarface poster? Wild place...
I would love to see that you put the picture (that was next to the camera) in a new frame and put it back as well. I hope the picture will last longer this way. 🤗🤗
Love your video’s and love Leon. Such a Great thing to look forward to every time.
Simply love you're videos, so full of the sort of things that interest me. Leon,the cats then beautiful hikes x totally fascinating building! Thai last could be a marvellous place to live,all the good bones are there. Then you get to thinking who lived there, what was its history. Thank you for another great video. 👍😊
Interesting video. I used to explore abandoned houses and building when I was a kid. Leon looks great and thanks for the update. Take care.
That cabin is beautiful, id renovate and live there ❤
Everytime im in the grocery store I cant walk past the lobster tanks. I was crying my eyes out Dec 23 in the grocery store, thinking they spend xmas alone in a tank miserable. 😮I know lol
I enjoyed watching every second. Thank you.
I love Leon, but I really enjoy watching you explore. Thank you, please do keep this coming also!
New year, new Leon video! Hope you're all well! :)
I love your content. I love getting leon updates but i also like to watch your side quests. Very relaxing yet interesting.
Oh man I wouldn’t have walked up those stairs 😂 you are brave. Great video as always !! Thank you for posting.
Dang! Only 27 minutes. I kept wanting to say, "Wait! Go back! What was that in that corner?" And you didn't go down the stairs. What was downstairs??? Glad you didn't go out on the deck, though. You probably would have gone right through THAT one! :D
I was waiting to see what was downstairs.
Beautiful Pug!
Fascinating video Brady, thank you. So happy that Leon is a happy lobster.
love chillin with Brady and Leon!
Brady that photograph is fantastic! I like all your plants too. Thank you for your videos. It is noticeable that you put a lot of effort into your videos. Thank you for your effort, I appreciate it. I have two cats and one dog, and a number of plants that I very much enjoy. Josh and Mittens ( 7 year old brothers) are the cats (Joshy Boy and Mittens Kittens affectionately), and we have Kora the dog (a 1 year , who I refer to as Little Stinka.... weird, but it's me. lol The old abandoned cabin/house... amazing. It does seem like somebody had some wonderful ideas about it one day and then something happened and no one picked up the rest of the job. It looks like it could be a wonderful home for someone.
I remember the sea monkey adds in the back of comic books in the 60's, so I had to laugh when you brought it up
(great memories from the South Park episode too) - thanks for the update!
When you said "the RO unit" I was left puzzling over that for a minute of two until I realized that means Reverse Osmosis.
...and then you said Reverse Osmosis, which confirmed it.
Leon still looks very happy.
Absolutely love your videos and Leon!
Such awesome pics like always, and Leon is a superbe lovely lobster❤🦞
Wow! That house is really heartbreaking. Would love research on it. Whose was it? What happened? I bet it has quite a story. Thanks so much for sharing Leon and other things. I truly enjoy and appreciate it.
It’s fascinating to me how shell crustaceans molt. My son has a huge salt water tank with live coral and fish. I can appreciate the time spent maintaining them. I never thought I would be drawn to watching the life of a saved lobster. 🦞 Thank you for drawing us in watching Leon. 😊
