Have you ever thought about using a rake on the side of the boat to grab the pots? Basically you ride past the float, the rake grabs the line and pullls it up, much less work, and man power.
Luke you need to do your shirts/apparel with DTF yourself and not preorder a ton from Cali. If you’re interested let me know, I’ll tell you how to do it yourself and pocket all the extra income…seriously…could be as much as $5-10 per shirt in your cost. Nothing in it for me just wanna see yall succeed.
hey Luke, as an old man, to a young man, get a small note book to keep in your back pocket. it's difficult to get in the habit of writing things to remember each day, but it keeps you from doing the work twice, or making multiple trips.😅 i hope you and your men have a safe and bountiful season sir.
As a middle aged man, who has an old man’s body but feels like a young man, this is excellent advice. I just type stuff in my phone because I hate writing.
As an.... *-old-* lady. This is solid advice, Luke. I even love my sticky notes for reminders! They're everywhere 😅 Just don't forget to write down the dates 😂
I agree. Sometimes the youngin seems a bit annoyed. Which is part of the working life. I just hope AJ sticks with it because the opportunity he has will learn him a bunch a good things or two
Luke, you are doing a great job!!! I seem to watch diy homesteading and outdoor activities more than anything. Your videos are refreshing and educational. Just keep doing what’s nature for you!!,
Luke, on your latest video you asked for your subscribers to tell you what they like to watch on RUclips. I enjoy watching people that like what they do, they have a passion for what they do. You never talk politics, which I appreciate. It’s all about, being a crabber and what it takes. You guys are doing the work and we are simply watching on RUclips, but you make it fun. Keep it up and have a great season!
My favorite other RUclipsr besides you is MN Millennial Farmer. I think I admire watching you goes so much because your videos are over edited and satisfying to watch. Simply put, you both just show what you do in a day and the daily chores and jobs. You show off how hard you work and in the end of the year you both get to see your hard work pay off with your harvests.
Vice Grip Garage, Cleetus McFarland, Gentry and Sons Trucking, MN Millenial Farmer, and this channel are my main ones I watch consistently. I enjoy guys that start off as regular folks like you and persistently chase success without letting it go to their heads. Remaining humble and doing the right things when no one is looking is paramount. Your t-shirts are sharp, maybe you can get ole Cleetus to tell you about ship station and take your merch online. Being in South Carolina, I am not exactly around the corner and can stop by. I know you have to crawl before you walk, but just food for thought there.(no pun intended)
Yeah. Vice Grip Garage, Donut Media, Booted Boiz, MKBHD(Marques Brownlee), Project Farm, Rich Rebuilds ... there's a few more but these are the ones I will admit to watching.
All these channels are perfect examples of getting too big and losing some audience. Take Cletus. It used to be something regular dudes could do, then it was 50k dollar parts, now it’s fucking helicopters. Out of touch. I really hope this doesn’t happen to Luke. The comment about buying crabs to sell worries me though. Is it going to become Luke the Crab Stand owner instead of Luke the Crabber?
Luke I watch a lot of you tube and there are a lot of good ones, but I will tell you this, your show is one of the main ones if not the only one that I really look forward too the most. Your outlook on life is what all the other good ones bring to the table. You my friend have it all going, the working man’s perspective and you are all about the truth without the embarrassment of the sacrifices it take to live your dream with your lovely bride and good friends. Great job!
My favorite RUclipsrs are Cleetus McFarland, Vice Grip Garage, Matt's Offroad, and Luke McFadden. You know what all 4 have in common?? They ALL work their asses off, they are all incredibly humble and thankful for their supporters, and they are not fake and gimiky.
I love watching Matt on Diesel Creek. The banter going on inside his brain and his willingness to admit his mistakes showed he’s the real deal, just like you, Luke. Greetings from Cambridge on the Eastern Shore.
Dude you need to start including Linsy in more of your videos. She is the sweetest. When you caught that one 1⃣ you definitely got a keeper. You would capture more subscribers than little. Not only is she the cutest but the attitude is great. I got a kick out of the two of you on the boat and you talking about moving to Florida and her reply was to drop anchor and welcome home. Love the videos and the best luck to your marriage and happiness.
48:42 Luke! Don't bend over to drag the crab pots. Make a hook with a T handle to drag the crab pots across the floor! Make it Y shaped on the other end, so you can hook two places on the pot and spread the load and not stretch the wire cage. At the milk processing plant, we used T handled hooks (approx. 36 inches long, 1/2" diameter with 3/4 inch black pipe T handle) to drag cases of milk stacked 6 high across the cooler floor and trailer floor.
@@phonedave Only way to move milk, if it's not palletized. In the cooler, the floors were diamond plate steel, and with practice... you could drag the stack off the conveyor, spin and sling the 6 case stack 20 foot to its resting area. (in the winter time, we'd be on the back dock, and go into the cooler to get warm!😮) Good times, good memories... but I sure was glad when I came out of the cooler and became a pasteurization operator.
Luke. You are doing great. My brother was a waterman , and his Crabs were always the best. We lived on Kent Island. People drove from Baltimore to by them. Keep up the good work.
Been watching you for a couple months now. Really enjoy your perseverance and attitude. I wish you and your wife nothing but success. Glad to see your plans coming together.
I enjoy watching Puddins Fab shop. This is the only crabbing content I watch. Once this season gets going well I am going to take my pitty on a road trip for some crabs
Luke, an idea for future transome access: Make the top portion hinge on the side (like the access into a bar) and hinge the rear panel to fold down/outside (if you beef it up, you could walk up it). Also, you really need to dress up your roof line with a drip edge (like 1x6 plastic wood) to keep the water from wickin under & into your plywood.
I will tell you my opinion, I think you have already figured out RUclips. You do a great job. Your content is excellent. Very entertaining. Very enjoyable to watch. Keep up the great work. You are awesome! Good luck with the new crab stand. It's looking great
Channels I watch : Vice Grip Garage, Cleetus McFarland, Farmcraft 101, Salvage Workshop, Jake Broe & of course Luke McFadden. Your channel is great & you always bring a smile !
I love to watch clayton schick outdoors. Mainly for ice fishing but he also does open water. I learned how to lake trout fish from many of his videos. He's friendly, knowledgeable, and gets really excited when he catches something good.
Ziplock bags man! I always have ziplock bags in the shop, stuffed in my pockets, I have boxes of the smallest ziplock bags in my shop. When you pulled off the kotter pin, and then the loop on the end of the cable, I throw those in a ziplock which goes in my pocket. Never lose anything!
(I'm no crabber but ...) I sure appreciate your clever, innovative solutions & quick wit for days! My other YT faves are positive and good-humored ... Matt's Off-Road, Fab Rats & Andrew Camarada - I obviously gravitate towards folks that know how to improvise & overcome in a positive way!
Luke, I love listening to you making videos and talks. You are so honest and straightforward. It's crazy how many things you say that I can relate to to achieve. Like the only time I've been to a gym just every time I have to cancel my membership. Been there so many times lol. Keep up the great work man. Good luck this evening. Stay safe!
I'm not saying that you are my favorite creator, you are the most relatable to myself being a self employed carpenter using 30-40yo wore out stuff. I love everything you have going on and I think the only thing you need to change is the number in your bank account. Your ambition and absence of fear to fail needs to spread to some more folks. You're giving inspiration to others and everything you do helps someone else get a little less scared of doing the unknown. Keep up the hard work crabber ('s)
I remember watching Luke’s videos on TikTok, then I quit TikTok and he started popping up in my RUclips shorts from there I ended up watching the long format videos that got very fun and addictive to watch.
“I messed up.” 😂 Almost crushing your employee has the same energy as accidentally hurting a sibling, then begging them not to tell Mom. But mom is OSHA LOL
Most YT channels that I watch regularly have a cast of characters. It's not what they do, but the interaction between the people on camera. There is a car RUclipsr named Mat Armstrong. He started with just himself on camera. He's a positive guy like you. He works hard, but his channel took off when he incorporated his Dad, girlfriend, friends and camera man into the content. It really adds to the entertainment of the channel. Good Luck out there!
I like Timmy at Truck House Life. He is remarkably resilient to life's challenges and has both excellent adventures as well as wonderful drone footage and careful editing and all. Perfect for an old man (me) to live vicariously through his adventures and endeavors . Highly recommended.
As far as other RUclipsrs that I enjoy... I like watching real people who aren't pretentious who have a good clean channel and are good people. Some would be Matt's off-road recovery, smartereveryday and off kilter fishing here in North Carolina. I enjoy your channel because of your attitude and the fact at what you do it's so different from life around here 200 miles from the coast plus it's nice to see someone else who enjoys being out on the water.
Awesome video! I love watching to see what stuff you get into! I love that your wife is super supportive! Hope you have an awesome season and that the crab stand does amazing! ❤
My favorite youtuber is Misha Charoudin, reason is he is a talented track driver who loves what he does at his core. I enjoy watching you because at your core, you love crabbing. Therefore through your passion, I have learned many things. Never change yourself for views. Authentic and genuine people make the best youtubers, in my opinion.
I definitely like the long content version. I also enjoy watching Stradman. You both are down to earth guys who don't take yourselves too seriously. You have that next-door neighbor kid out hustling. Obviously Stradman is sports cars, but what you have in common is your both very passionate about what you do.
I watch VGG, Cleetus, Junkyard Digs, Pole Barn Garage, ect. All these channels have passionate and funny people that make even the same content feel fresh and interesting time after time.
Again, no idea how I found your channel but look forward to your videos each and every time. Cutting Edge Engineering and Fab Rats are probably my 2 favorites. Keep up the great work.
Luke that boat stand is sweet man. I think you should definitely extend the counter all the way down not to the bow but to the doorway of the cabin. Can't go wrong with plenty of counter space, Then once you have the counters built you should build up a little form around the counters and just pour some clearcoat polyurethane as a countertop you can put cool stuff in there before you pour the polyurethane like hooks and fishing stuff. Heck You probably could even take some big number one males set them on the counter and then pour the clearcoat polyurethane in on top of them. I don't know how that would actually work but you could always get some fake realistic toy crabs and do the same thing
Fun watching a 28 year old crabber get stuff done to ensure he can get the job done. Lindsey is always so positive and supportive. Suggest hanging merch behind you to fill in space. Some of my other fav RUclips creators: James Condon and Chickanic for small engine repairs, A1 Auto and Vice Grip Garage for auto service and repair, just a few acer Farm for small farm production, and Zwag, TC Zwag and Zwagmo for league of legend gaming,
not a crabber but I am a small biz owner (painting/construction) and I hear you when sometimes it's a bunch of spinning wheels when trying to move forward- I like to see that you have an assistant without much on the skill level but willing to learn- been there (still there) and no matter how frustrating it can be it's worth the time to teach the next generation. Good Luck this year- I truly appreciate your content
Re-do your back entrance. Put a hinge on the bottom/outside of the back gate. Re-attach the top part. Make it a step, so when you flip it open, it converts into a step onto the back of the boat.
Hi Luke, You have a can-do attitude and a clever streak when you are fixing or building equipment which I like, since I have a similar streak. Self deprecating humor also goes a long way! Along those lines, I like to watch the Millennial Farmer. Hes interesting to watch and his life gets hectic when he's planting and harvesting corn & soybeans in central Minnesota! Worth a watch in my book!
start spraying stuff with crc 656 my guy, itll save you alot, I buy it by the gallon and keep it in a spray bottle instead of buying little spray cans, marinas usually spray it on everything to keep it protected, good on rubber and keeps steel from rusting, better than wd40
A stick suck as a rake handle with a hook on the on the end may make moving the pots on the trailer easier. Hook the bottom pot without bending down and drag it across the trailer while using one hand to stabilize the top pots. This is how people move milk crates around warehouses
I like a lot of things about yalls channel. There is that older feller that is always helping you work with what you got and has ideas. Some episodes/videos ive heard him be a counselor, mentor and whole slough of different roles in your life. You are not afraod to show what your dealing with that shows authenticity and your ingenuity. You also show a lot of passion and you care about not only for the fishery and other folks out there on the water but the community too. I really look foward to watching your episodes. Keep on kicking butt man.
Luke, it's great seeing a young man build his business and grafting like hell to build something to provide for his family. You give us older generations hope that it won't all go to hell. Keep at it and plenty of us tune in just to see you pushing on through to get it done.
Channels I tend to watch: Sleeper Dude, Roman Atwood, Cole the Cornstar, Cleetus McFarland, HeavyDSparks, Matt Cirriker, Ultimate Rebuilds, Goonzsquad, Junkyard Diggs, Laura Farms.
My fav channels are "Destination Adventure", "SV Seeker" and " Tula's Endless Summer". They've got videography down pretty good. Good luck on your crab shop opening. Since you are becoming a distributor for other guys crabs I can see you becoming a successful seafood shop within ten years.
Do you know if the water is swimmable at the inner harbor in Baltimore? It was on the news but I don't believe it. The mayor is supposed to take a dip next month
Simple Living Alaska, VGG, Matt's Off Road, numerous gardening channels. I've really enjoyed this series of fixing the boat and the stand. It has been much more like how my husband and sons fix things around the house. My Dad worked at an auto repair shop, and we went to work with him quite often. I still love the smell of bondo. I really enjoy watching videos that are more real and less staged. What you do looks so much more like real life, and you're positive and upbeat, which is key when genuine. I'm looking forward to seeing what's next. Sending support, love, and kindness from Lexington, MI, USA.
I watch Cleetus McFarland, Demo Ranch, Deer Meat for Dinner, and a few others. Love your channel, it’s super real and down to earth. Coming from living in the mountains of VA and loving going to the ocean for vacation, there’s something about non touristy fishing/crabbing that I’d love to try one day. Whenever I have a midlife crisis it will probably lead me towards the water lol
and one of the things i like about your channel is all the umm creative way you fix stuff. it is incredibly amazing to see some of the things you come up with that also work lol
My dad and I (sportsmen licenses) set 2 commercial pots each in various parts of Egg Harbor Bay, or Mullica River, NJ.. We go for the rustiest crabs we can catch from May through November. The more rust, the better. Educate your customers on that. More meat! Your content is hilarious. We wish you the best of prosperity this season.
CEE Cutting edge engineering.. younger guy in Australia does some awesome machining work. Has a good mix of mining equipment repair, shop tool builds and so on. A good mix of projects, and crabbing is what makes your channel enjoyable. It comes across as a nice day in the life of Luke.
Another great video Luke ! Good luck on the crabbing this season, youtobers I watch, you, fishermen's Life, vice grip garage, junk yard digs, outdoor chef life, low buck garage, minndak outdoors, tips from a shipwright.
Would love for you to take an approach like heavydsparks or gold shaw farm. I love the honest insights into their job and industry. The good but especially the bad / unexpected. Also love the break down videos where they go though cost and profit. While still being very entertaining
Love you and your wife. Great job. you remind me of me and my old friend Joel Teshka we used to put things together like your doing. Best of times. I'm 65 now and my friend is past. Now I take interest in seeing you do all the same stuff with the scrap stuff you have. Love it. Some of the stories I could tell you. Your my inspiration to keep going. My motto has always been "Never give up". Have a beer for me. Kenny.
Im from the Netherlands, my list: Vice grip garage, diesel creek, werkplaatsvlog, mastermilo, Dale phillip, project farm, outdoor boys, primitive technologie, olie en onzin, c90 adventures, grind hard plumbing, and a few more but there is one i will watch as soon as i see it and that you, i love the boat repairs and learning about crabbing and stuff. Keep on doing the great job you do👍
you can hit those fittings from two sides with two ball pein hammers and the little shock loosens them, Love the ziptye trick, been doin plug wires like that for years
In 1984 I was working on Shrimping Boats in Freeport Texas, I went to jump from the dock onto a boat and the only set of keys I had to everything fell off my belt and right into the water so I got a large magnet and found them in like ten minutes! God I was so greatfull!!!
Another favorite- Jacob Knowles: like you he makes his craft interesting, and has an appealing personality. Though typically I just watch the short videos.
I stumbled upon your channel n love the working on n fixing stuff like any of us backyard repair guys would do. I love how you show real time stuff, not like other RUclips channels where everything just goes according to plan with no hiccups! New sub here!👍
Been watching your content for a couple months now, and love every second. I don't comment on youtube videos much, but you asking for people's favorite content creators got me thinking. One of my absolute favorite youtubers is BuckinBillyRaySmith! He has amazing chainsaw and forestry content and he is a real down-to-earth man with a lot of good life experience and tips to share. One of the purest human beings in the world! I'm from Ohio, but one of these days I would love to travel over to Maryland to check out the new crab stand and meet you in person. Love your content and wish you the absolute best this crabbing season and for the rest of your life!
Luke, other than you my two favorite youtubers are Farming with Duffy AG and Country View Acres. I enjoy Agriculture and have enjoyed watching and learning the things that crabbers do.
@Luke McFadden just a small tip for you. You're Vibration issue with hose and cable... if you take foam pipe insulation like they use in plumbing for houses, put that on your hoses, zip tie that, it should help protect it from rubbing through. Easy to remove for repairs, and cheap. Hope that helps?

Have you ever thought about using a rake on the side of the boat to grab the pots? Basically you ride past the float, the rake grabs the line and pullls it up, much less work, and man power.

hey Luke, as an old man, to a young man, get a small note book to keep in your back pocket. it's difficult to get in the habit of writing things to remember each day, but it keeps you from doing the work twice, or making multiple trips.😅 i hope you and your men have a safe and bountiful season sir.
Coming from a young man, who has been procrastinating this, thank you for the friendly reminder
As a young man who started college later than most, I picked up this habit and it's allowed me to conquer my ADHD and be more efficient.
As a middle aged man, who has an old man’s body but feels like a young man, this is excellent advice. I just type stuff in my phone because I hate writing.
As an.... *-old-* lady.
This is solid advice, Luke.
I even love my sticky notes for reminders! They're everywhere 😅 Just don't forget to write down the dates 😂
I had to put a pad in my back pocket last year and I can't get by without it
As a marine mechanic, it’s nice to see you teaching this next generation how to do it without teasing him for not knowing, you gotta learn somehow
I agree. Sometimes the youngin seems a bit annoyed. Which is part of the working life. I just hope AJ sticks with it because the opportunity he has will learn him a bunch a good things or two
Ya need a shirt that says “ I visited Luke , He gave me crabs ! “🦀
Or 'I got crabs from Luke!'
That is a great idea!!! I'd buy that for sure
@@michaeltba9062that one is excellent too
Or Luke Has Crabs😂
😂 that’s awesome
Luke, you are doing a great job!!! I seem to watch diy homesteading and outdoor activities more than anything. Your videos are refreshing and educational. Just keep doing what’s nature for you!!,

Zipties and bias plies. Thanks me later

Mama didn't raise no punk!!!!
Hot Damn... There's So Much Bee Ess erie Luke should have a Second Channel C'mon...
You are my favorite RUclipsr. I grew up in Dundalk till 6th grade. I enjoy your hard work, your lovely wife helping you, and crabbing!
Have you tried chitterlings as bait you can get them at the grocery stores in a 5-gallon bucket they're raw and uncooked perfect for the crabs
Luke, an idea for future transome access: Make the top portion hinge on the side (like the access into a bar) and hinge the rear panel to fold down/outside (if you beef it up, you could walk up it). Also, you really need to dress up your roof line with a drip edge (like 1x6 plastic wood) to keep the water from wickin under & into your plywood.
Great job Luke! This Alaska fan admires your hard work and positive attitude!
I will tell you my opinion, I think you have already figured out RUclips. You do a great job. Your content is excellent. Very entertaining. Very enjoyable to watch. Keep up the great work. You are awesome! Good luck with the new crab stand. It's looking great

Nothing more Pasadena than this @11:00 my uncle had big block racing boat in the late 1990s . I remember zipping down the bay with wind in my hair
I love to watch clayton schick outdoors. Mainly for ice fishing but he also does open water. I learned how to lake trout fish from many of his videos. He's friendly, knowledgeable, and gets really excited when he catches something good.

Luke, you are my favorite. Derek with Vice Grip Garage is my 2nd favorite.
(I'm no crabber but ...) I sure appreciate your clever, innovative solutions & quick wit for days!
My other YT faves are positive and good-humored ... Matt's Off-Road, Fab Rats & Andrew Camarada - I obviously gravitate towards folks that know how to improvise & overcome in a positive way!

“I messed up.” 😂 Almost crushing your employee has the same energy as accidentally hurting a sibling, then begging them not to tell Mom. But mom is OSHA LOL
Clever with the shelving.
This feels like an end of the prep for a Marathon. Now, On your marks. 💥 pew pew shot! Wishing you a successful season!

One of my favorite channels is Iron Trap Garage, like you the guys are down to earth and love sharing their knowledge as they work on their cars.
The Outdoor Boys.. regular people making everything an adventure
I like Timmy at Truck House Life. He is remarkably resilient to life's challenges and has both excellent adventures as well as wonderful drone footage and careful editing and all. Perfect for an old man (me) to live vicariously through his adventures and endeavors . Highly recommended.

Awesome video! I love watching to see what stuff you get into! I love that your wife is super supportive! Hope you have an awesome season and that the crab stand does amazing! ❤
My favorite youtuber is Misha Charoudin, reason is he is a talented track driver who loves what he does at his core. I enjoy watching you because at your core, you love crabbing. Therefore through your passion, I have learned many things. Never change yourself for views. Authentic and genuine people make the best youtubers, in my opinion.
I definitely like the long content version.
I also enjoy watching Stradman. You both are down to earth guys who don't take yourselves too seriously. You have that next-door neighbor kid out hustling. Obviously Stradman is sports cars, but what you have in common is your both very passionate about what you do.
I watch VGG, Cleetus, Junkyard Digs, Pole Barn Garage, ect. All these channels have passionate and funny people that make even the same content feel fresh and interesting time after time.
Again, no idea how I found your channel but look forward to your videos each and every time. Cutting Edge Engineering and Fab Rats are probably my 2 favorites. Keep up the great work.
Luke that boat stand is sweet man. I think you should definitely extend the counter all the way down not to the bow but to the doorway of the cabin. Can't go wrong with plenty of counter space, Then once you have the counters built you should build up a little form around the counters and just pour some clearcoat polyurethane as a countertop you can put cool stuff in there before you pour the polyurethane like hooks and fishing stuff. Heck You probably could even take some big number one males set them on the counter and then pour the clearcoat polyurethane in on top of them. I don't know how that would actually work but you could always get some fake realistic toy crabs and do the same thing
I look forward yo watching your full video every week. I'm in Maryland myself. Your channel is something unique, so I wouldn't change anything.
Fun watching a 28 year old crabber get stuff done to ensure he can get the job done. Lindsey is always so positive and supportive. Suggest hanging merch behind you to fill in space.
Some of my other fav RUclips creators: James Condon and Chickanic for small engine repairs, A1 Auto and Vice Grip Garage for auto service and repair, just a few acer Farm for small farm production, and Zwag, TC Zwag and Zwagmo for league of legend gaming,
not a crabber but I am a small biz owner (painting/construction) and I hear you when sometimes it's a bunch of spinning wheels when trying to move forward- I like to see that you have an assistant without much on the skill level but willing to learn- been there (still there) and no matter how frustrating it can be it's worth the time to teach the next generation. Good Luck this year- I truly appreciate your content
Re-do your back entrance. Put a hinge on the bottom/outside of the back gate. Re-attach the top part. Make it a step, so when you flip it open, it converts into a step onto the back of the boat.
I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING!!!
Hi Luke, You have a can-do attitude and a clever streak when you are fixing or building equipment which I like, since I have a similar streak. Self deprecating humor also goes a long way! Along those lines, I like to watch the Millennial Farmer. Hes interesting to watch and his life gets hectic when he's planting and harvesting corn & soybeans in central Minnesota! Worth a watch in my book!
start spraying stuff with crc 656 my guy, itll save you alot, I buy it by the gallon and keep it in a spray bottle instead of buying little spray cans, marinas usually spray it on everything to keep it protected, good on rubber and keeps steel from rusting, better than wd40
I was thinking the same thing but Fluid Film.
You are a good inspiration for the youth. Hard working, problem solving, enjoying what you are doing with a positive attitude. Great Content!
Jeff and Hanna Baron for youtube. That guy can build anything. And great content.
A stick suck as a rake handle with a hook on the on the end may make moving the pots on the trailer easier. Hook the bottom pot without bending down and drag it across the trailer while using one hand to stabilize the top pots. This is how people move milk crates around warehouses
Have a SAFE and SUCCESSFUL season.
I like a lot of things about yalls channel. There is that older feller that is always helping you work with what you got and has ideas. Some episodes/videos ive heard him be a counselor, mentor and whole slough of different roles in your life. You are not afraod to show what your dealing with that shows authenticity and your ingenuity. You also show a lot of passion and you care about not only for the fishery and other folks out there on the water but the community too. I really look foward to watching your episodes. Keep on kicking butt man.
Hellzz yeah LETS GOOO CRABBING !!!! Make that money brother
The crab stand also need solar panels and batteries for power along with a power inverter.
Luke, it's great seeing a young man build his business and grafting like hell to build something to provide for his family. You give us older generations hope that it won't all go to hell. Keep at it and plenty of us tune in just to see you pushing on through to get it done.
Fantastic video!!!! Well, I spent every minute of this one. Keep it up!
Channels I tend to watch: Sleeper Dude, Roman Atwood, Cole the Cornstar, Cleetus McFarland, HeavyDSparks, Matt Cirriker, Ultimate Rebuilds, Goonzsquad, Junkyard Diggs, Laura Farms.
My fav channels are "Destination Adventure", "SV Seeker" and
" Tula's Endless Summer". They've got videography down pretty good.
Good luck on your crab shop opening. Since you are becoming a distributor for other guys crabs I can see you becoming a successful seafood shop within ten years.
That jet boat is bad ass! Those twin spinning hat and sunglasses eaters behind you are SWEET!
Do you know if the water is swimmable at the inner harbor in Baltimore? It was on the news but I don't believe it. The mayor is supposed to take a dip next month
I’m curious as to why it wouldn’t be. Is it because of the bridge collapse or something else?
You can swim anywhere water won’t kill you if you know how to… signs don’t mean anything no one owns water
I believe the water is still pretty cold.
What I want to know is it clean and safe and no parasites leeches or anything that's going to cause anyone to get sick
Have you seen that water and the bay? It's some gross ass water
A favorite of mine is Sailing Parlay Revival. Like you Collin can fix pretty much anything like you.
Simple Living Alaska, VGG, Matt's Off Road, numerous gardening channels. I've really enjoyed this series of fixing the boat and the stand. It has been much more like how my husband and sons fix things around the house. My Dad worked at an auto repair shop, and we went to work with him quite often. I still love the smell of bondo. I really enjoy watching videos that are more real and less staged. What you do looks so much more like real life, and you're positive and upbeat, which is key when genuine. I'm looking forward to seeing what's next. Sending support, love, and kindness from Lexington, MI, USA.
I watch Cleetus McFarland, Demo Ranch, Deer Meat for Dinner, and a few others. Love your channel, it’s super real and down to earth. Coming from living in the mountains of VA and loving going to the ocean for vacation, there’s something about non touristy fishing/crabbing that I’d love to try one day. Whenever I have a midlife crisis it will probably lead me towards the water lol
and one of the things i like about your channel is all the umm creative way you fix stuff. it is incredibly amazing to see some of the things you come up with that also work lol
That project boat is so cool ! Nice engineering!
Wish you luck from Arkansas Luke, hope you have a great and safe season, catch them crabs!
My dad and I (sportsmen licenses) set 2 commercial pots each in various parts of Egg Harbor Bay, or Mullica River, NJ.. We go for the rustiest crabs we can catch from May through November. The more rust, the better. Educate your customers on that. More meat! Your content is hilarious. We wish you the best of prosperity this season.
Good luck this season, brother! Can’t wait to visit BPS! 🦀😋🙏🏼
Your doing well captain! Keep it up! Your videos feel pretty natural and editing is well done
Your a hard worker and inventor. I enjoy watching you figure stuff out.
CEE Cutting edge engineering.. younger guy in Australia does some awesome machining work. Has a good mix of mining equipment repair, shop tool builds and so on. A good mix of projects, and crabbing is what makes your channel enjoyable. It comes across as a nice day in the life of Luke.
Luke , I hope you have a BANNER SEASON !!!! Love your channel !!!
Flair. He never fails to surprise with his diverse content and energy level.
Hey man, small channel here. Happy to talk about the platform whenever!
Another great video Luke ! Good luck on the crabbing this season, youtobers I watch, you, fishermen's Life, vice grip garage, junk yard digs, outdoor chef life, low buck garage, minndak outdoors, tips from a shipwright.
Those sandpaper Grinder wheels work wonders also and probably last longer.
And very itchy buddy hope everything goes great on Saturday
Congratulations on everything lately
one of my favorite you tubers is Watch JR go. He is always moving and putting out content. He does more then just cars, which is why I like him.
Had a couple jet boats over the years but i must say I'm jealous! Badass boat!
Would love for you to take an approach like heavydsparks or gold shaw farm. I love the honest insights into their job and industry. The good but especially the bad / unexpected. Also love the break down videos where they go though cost and profit. While still being very entertaining
I love watching the HoofGP because he is passionate about what he does. He also attended film school, so his production quality is awesome.
Adventures made from scratch. Love the junkyard and cars he gets. Mr goodpliers and Jimmy's world. I would love to live on the water like you.
Love you and your wife. Great job. you remind me of me and my old friend Joel Teshka we used to put things together like your doing. Best of times. I'm 65 now and my friend is past. Now I take interest in seeing you do all the same stuff with the scrap stuff you have. Love it. Some of the stories I could tell you. Your my inspiration to keep going. My motto has always been "Never give up". Have a beer for me. Kenny.
Wasn’t expecting a Gloucester mention. That’s cool Rose’s was able to help you out.
Good luck with the season guys 🍻
Im from the Netherlands, my list:
Vice grip garage, diesel creek, werkplaatsvlog, mastermilo,
Dale phillip, project farm, outdoor boys, primitive technologie, olie en onzin, c90 adventures, grind hard plumbing, and a few more but there is one i will watch as soon as i see it and that you, i love the boat repairs and learning about crabbing and stuff.
Keep on doing the great job you do👍
you can hit those fittings from two sides with two ball pein hammers and the little shock loosens them, Love the ziptye trick, been doin plug wires like that for years
Good day bro your Channels very authentic and fun to watch. Y'all are very hardworking people, makes me work harder here thank you 🙏
In 1984 I was working on Shrimping Boats in Freeport Texas, I went to jump from the dock onto a boat and the only set of keys I had to everything fell off my belt and right into the water so I got a large magnet and found them in like ten minutes! God I was so greatfull!!!
Another favorite- Jacob Knowles: like you he makes his craft interesting, and has an appealing personality. Though typically I just watch the short videos.
Liking you more and more . Field days is fire and so is Marling baits. Good luck Luke. Much love from the Tx coast ❤
I stumbled upon your channel n love the working on n fixing stuff like any of us backyard repair guys would do. I love how you show real time stuff, not like other RUclips channels where everything just goes according to plan with no hiccups! New sub here!👍
try heavy duty hingers for rear door ... top opens like a bar top (opens up) door swings open
Been watching your content for a couple months now, and love every second. I don't comment on youtube videos much, but you asking for people's favorite content creators got me thinking. One of my absolute favorite youtubers is BuckinBillyRaySmith! He has amazing chainsaw and forestry content and he is a real down-to-earth man with a lot of good life experience and tips to share. One of the purest human beings in the world!
I'm from Ohio, but one of these days I would love to travel over to Maryland to check out the new crab stand and meet you in person. Love your content and wish you the absolute best this crabbing season and for the rest of your life!
Luke, other than you my two favorite youtubers are Farming with Duffy AG and Country View Acres. I enjoy Agriculture and have enjoyed watching and learning the things that crabbers do.
@Luke McFadden just a small tip for you. You're Vibration issue with hose and cable... if you take foam pipe insulation like they use in plumbing for houses, put that on your hoses, zip tie that, it should help protect it from rubbing through. Easy to remove for repairs, and cheap. Hope that helps?
