You should take complete full time away from RUclips for a while and maybe come back more refreshed. Anyone who has ever made and edited any videos understands the burnout and loss of interest. One of my favorite channels just became active again after an entire year away. I loved the fact that he left his channel for that year with no goodbyes, no explanation and no guilt. He said he needed to address the burnout of chasing RUclips money, and he and his girl also welcomed a new child during that time away. I respect him for just going away and dealing with his own life and self care. He came back to update his loyal viewers of where he has been, and it was a great video. So, MY rant (LOL) was just to say, do what's best for you. The loyal ones (like myself) will be here if/when you return. Spend more time with "The Voice" and less time changing out GoPro batteries. LOL! All the best to you Dano 🙂
I've taken a bit of a break and feeling refreshed and going forward I have to try to work on sometimes feeling obligated. I totally get the story you shared.. there are some channels out there that blow up and get super popular and that can have a lot of pressure on people. Thanks for the comment! All the best
Yep, not a big winter. Sry y'all missed your regular events you do. GL on quitting smoking, proud of you, not easy. Hang in there. 👍 Don't stress on the videos, you have to live too. 🙂👍
Dan just do you. I would be just as happy if you found some new falls or trail walk and it was only four minutes that wasn’t edited, that would be perfectly fine. I love it when you and the Voice are joking around. Just do you. 👍
I watch your vids due to the "lower production value". Take a break brother. I see too many channels trending towards "tv show style", I can tell they are making a little money and can see they are trying to make more... That's when I stop watching them :)
It is the same for me... There seems to be a fine line with a channel sharing their travels and thoughts to when you see they want clicks views and money. It appears that is what most want to watch, so I'll keep doing it my way. lol
First off, we all like your videos. You don't have to make em perfect dude. And second, I was a 3 pack a day cigarette smoker. I quit years ago and it's the best thing I ever did. I had to literally get mad at those damn things. Keep the videos coming and don't worry too much about the editing. We're all just regular folks.
Thanks so much! I used to smoke a pack a day.. years ago too.. quit that by starting vaping. I had quit smoking a few times but the vaping made it last longer than a year. about a month vape free and doing well.. I feel the same as you - nothing better than being an ex-smoker. lol
Yeah man, RUclips is a chore and labor of love with little reward other than the friendships you create. It's interesting because I feel like you're a great friend and look forward to seeing what you've been up to. But you have no idea who I am or the other viewers. Just know that people enjoy your friendship through RUclips even though you don't know us. It's off season for Wander Dano right now so don't fret about things. Get things in order because before you know it you'll be back on the road in your happy place. Stick with the Voice. She's great for your health and well being.
First sustenance is PERFECTLY SAID!!! Well actually.. the whole entire thing you said is perfect. Sincerely.. wish you could hear the tone.. thank you! You reminded me WHY.. I enjoy this. all the best to you!
I want to be perfectly clear to you, Dan. If you want to stop doing your videos, do what makes you happy. We all only have one life each. Do what makes you thoroughly happy. Having said that, you would be missed. But we will survive. I think. Lol!
Thanks so much! For all the nice comments you always make.. I think a bit of a break helped. My videos will never be like the "TV show" style now or all that popular but I will get back to enjoying sharing my thoughts and travels. All the best to you
I understand and I think your regular viewers understand. Gotta take a break, sometimes even from the things you love. In the end you'll probably be more inspired to do what you do! I think you tubers (including myself) put alot of unnecessary pressure upon themselves. All the best!
I love this video! The Voice 🤣🤣🤣 That’s so perfect… I love that. I’m so proud of you for the hard work you’re putting in trying to quit the vaping. It’s so hard. Goid luck 🍀
Maybe temporarily switch to doing it in whatever way feels good atm. Either have fun with it or take a break? Keep RUclips happy by posting video from random travels with simply route info and travelling music?
That's the plan.. I'm not the type that ever wants to consider this a job or work. I want it to be enjoyable to share things.. The irritations of editing aside. lol
The hardest thing I've ever done was to stop smoking. My Daughter ( 7 at the time) put the patch on my arm and said I love you mom. I promised her I'd never quit again. I appreciate you ( and The Voice) and all the work you put in your videos. I love how real they are. Take breaks when you need to, we'll leave alight on for ya.
I've quit smoking a few times. lol In the past I successfully quit for long stretches but went back to it. I have vaped for far far too long but I'm ov er 3 weeks into not vaping.. think I beat it!! :-) Also, thanks for the kind words - all the best!!
45 year long smoker. I quit the cigarettes cold turkey 3 and a half years ago during the Covid crap. The first day was not a good day! Not as hard as I thought it would be but I still would like one once in a while. Best of luck to you.
I've quit smoking too (a few times lol) and it wasn't ever fun or pretty. Quitting vaping was pretty much the same but nearing a month vape free and feeling over that hump.
I really like your vids...I'm sorry your mouth hurts (Hell for me would be a dental chair for eternity).....AND, you are stuck with the "Winter that wasn't". I hear you on the smoking thing. I quit about 25 years ago. Most of the time...no prob...I wanted to quit. Other times, I could have sucked one down in one drag. lol....Take a break, but come on back!~

Remember, always take care of your self 1st
strong advice!
I enjoy your videos. Would love to see more travel videos from you and the voice.
I haven't given up and hope to share some new and awesome places. All the best
My husband and I enjoy your videos. Found places we are going to go in the UP and we appreciate your sense of humor.
Thanks very much! All the best

It was kinda sad but still we are the types that try our best to find fun. 100% right and good advice - thanks!
Dan just do you. I would be just as happy if you found some new falls or trail walk and it was only four minutes that wasn’t edited, that would be perfectly fine. I love it when you and the Voice are joking around. Just do you. 👍
Thanks so much for the nice words. That's all I can do make sure it is enjoyable and all will be good. :-)

100% It seems like there will always be ebbs and flows to the enjoying making YT videos thing. lol which I'm sure you know too. All the best
Good luck with your challenge, mine is weight ✌️
I think I've made it.. almost a month vape free. Good luck with your challenge as well.
Winter's coming to an end? What winter? There wasn't any winter.
I know.. I'm still sad about it!
Good luck taking back your health! 👍🏼
Thanks!
Will miss your videos, but I understand, do what's good for you!
thanks
Give kitty hugs and pets nice to see you.
Will do. all the best :-)
Do what makes you happy Dano.
thanks!
I love this video! The Voice 🤣🤣🤣 That’s so perfect… I love that.
I’m so proud of you for the hard work you’re putting in trying to quit the vaping. It’s so hard. Goid luck 🍀

I get it. I haven't made a video in quite a while myself.
It great when it's fun but I'm not one of those that wants to consider videos "work". :-)
Yikes looks chilly!!!😮😮😮
