Please use the chapter selection to skip to the parts you would like to watch! I forgot to mention it at the start of the video because it is a long one! Enjoy your weekend all x
Soooooo just finished watching all your vids from your very first Vid & fella thumbs up was on them, great content and I will tell you now F every one who says your doing it for money or what ever.......You go do you and enjoy and be happy! Keep smashing it mucker - SUBSCRIBED- 👍👍👍👍
Anything about the Strid, I click without hesitation! My dad jumped it as a kid, but he wouldn’t let me jump. Ps you didn’t sound quiet and nervous at all, your appeal is you are normal and relatable to curious people- dont change!
Thank you polly :) and to tell the truth, i jumped the Strid once, but then was too scared to jump back over so went the long way round to get back lol
At 4:39. I remember you standing on that rock and shouting at the screen "Get back you nutter!" I have a son about your age and we do lots of fairly dangerous outdoor survival stuff so I am very safety conscious. I am glad you were ok and even happier to see you are taking safety more seriously now. Love all your videos, which prompted me, my son and his friends to visit the Strid. Thanks to you our visit was much more meaningful and enjoyable and gave us a much deeper sense of awe and respect for the Strid. You have produced some great content and it's fantastic that you made some income from it. Your intelligence and passion for the subject really shows and has no doubt inspired many people to take more a more active interest in the world around them. :)
That’s awesome John it’s so cool to hear that it enhanced your visit with your family. I actually met a lot of people at the strid that were there after seeing one of these videos. Trying to explain to someone what I’m doing when they haven’t seen a video before is a bit embarrassing so it helps when we’re on the same page haha!
even if you were doing it for money, (which obviously you were not), it was all your work and efforts. Those people were just jealous brats. no need to listen to any negativity on the net, as long as your intention is good, and your contents do not attack nor harm anyone. ❤
I'm an American and I can admit that I'm obsessed with Strid videos - especially seeing your sonar analysis of it. I'm so happy you got to be a partner and are getting paid for your videos because I really enjoy your content!
Interesting video Jack. I know very little about the monetisation of RUclips videos, but it’s pretty apparent from your candid video that it must be very hard to make a living out of making RUclips films. I really like your vids and I think your honesty and enthusiasm will enable your channel to grow. I wish you well Jack and hope you get your rewards for your talent.
Thanks Jon! Unless you're getting 100-200K views a week i don't think its possible to earn a living wage. My channel usually get around 30K views a month so no where near sustainability but i work full time and do RUclips when i can :)
I live in Colorado, USA. Planning a trip to Germany and England. Bolton Strid is on my list of things to see because of you! Maybe you can show my family and I around the Strid when we are there!!
Very interesting indeed, thank you for sharing more about what all of the analytics mean for those who don't know, or don't fully understand. Great videos regardless of content so please keep it up!
These programs show us what a combination of naivety, likeableness (hope this is a word!) and intellgence can do. Oh, and the innate fascination people have with untamed and deep/dangerous water. I like the programs. Many thanks.
Remember watching the video when it first came out-think I came to ur channel to watch u react to a Yosemite valley video. But yeh, the mystery of the strid had me hooked. Great to c ur still out there seeing the world and capturing it on video. If ur ever in DC, u should check out Rock Creek Park and Great Falls Park. Both make for great biking n hiking while being close to the city, can’t wait to get back out there once the weather warms back up. Keep up the adventures!
What an interesting video (again). You seem like such a decent chap and come across so well on film, you deserve every bit of success and ££ that you earn. I used to live in Lancashire and miss walking around Pendle, would love a video of Pendle/Trough of Bowland if you are ever down that way. Have a great weekend.
The problem with hiking channels is that it is a niche market. You have to be into it. The Strid definitely made it for you but you deserved it. You worked hard and it paid off. I'll never make a penny. RUclips on the monetisation tab says I'm in Afghanistan. RUclips says I'm in England, Gmail says I'm in England everything says I'm in England except the monetisation tab. I've clicked off and back to England and nothing changes. Strange. I'm like you, I'm doing the hikes for me and hoping that someone else may like it. But it's for the memories. If anyone knows a workaround I'd be grateful. But yeah, you deserve the acclaim for this. Kudos.
ello Chris! I see you videos pop up all the time you're getting them out consistently! I watch so many hiking videos that are all 500 or less views that are really good. I don't think theres many of us hiking youtubers that are in it for the fame. Its all about getting some head space and wanting to pass it on. I put hiking videos on whilst i work just to chill out!
@@jackasnacks the headspace bit is right on point. Some hikes I've spent six or seven hours out and not seen anyone. Very satisfying. Have you seen WildBeare she hikes a lot and camps in Wales. Mad. I prefer my bed but her channel is worth a watch. If you know any Peak District vlogs about that would interest me then please let me know.
Not a problem kitesu i'm just happy you enjoyed it! I was worried no one would appreciate this so thank you for letting me know you liked it! The analytics are very fun to read but can't beat uploading a new video and having a crack with everyone in the comments :)
i found out about the strid after watching cave diving videos, and im going to be forever interested in what its actually like under there. people have 3d mapped caves for cave diving so it should be done at the strid! your videos of the strid are the best on youtube by far
Hey man. Love that I found your channel. I really hope you can arrange to get a LIDAR Scan under the water all along the strid because it could reveal all the intricate details under the water, no limitations of visibility. (Maybe contact a near by university to see if they would be willing to work with you) since LIDAR technology is expensive. And underwater LIDAR rover's must be very expensive. But maybe you could collaborate with someone. Who knows?
Thanks for your videos - I really enjoy them, and I was delighted to see this new one pop up. Thanks also for your candour about YT revenue - it's interesting to see a bit about how it works. As for being accused of 'doing it for the money' - well, there are many out there who do exactly that - but to me, it's obvious that you just really enjoy our lovely countryside and telling us about where you're visiting, and if you can make a bit of money out of entertaining us with your videos, so much the better - and you deserve it. Warm wishes from Shropshire 😊
looooooveeeeeeee this thank you so much Sally :) i actually made this video almost 1 month ago, got scared to upload it, it took 2 friends and my sister to convince me that i was over thinking it and another youtuber i watch give me a bit more motivation so i uploaded it tonight. Your comment REALLY does mean a huge amount and im glad youre here for it :D
Fascinating video Jack, glad you ended up making a bit of money for your channel. Always look forward to your videos as your one of the few that are genuine. You always come across as been a natural in front of the camera together with your calming voice would have though the TV would have snapped you up. Their loss, love your content and presentation keep it up.
Thank you Susan! I of course see your name appear frequently in my videos, the regulars certainly don't go unnoticed! Its people like yourself that i imagine i'm talking to when im wondering around with my camera on my own haha. Hope you have a lovely weekend if you are relaxing or exploring!
I just caught up with your videos and as always, your presentation is interesting and informative. I was never part of your Strid or Reddit community, but I am proud that I was there very early on because I recognized your curiosity and enthusiasm. Best of luck this year!
Thanks for the summation! Like the Strid videos themselves, the minutiae concerning the upshot was fascinating. Congratulations and a BIG thank you for telling the world about that fascinating river.
In YT Studio, I imagine "impressions" and "click through rate" refers to the ads. (Source: worked in the business on technical side). CTR is probably the biggest driver of the rate that YT, and you, get. That's going to be hard for you to directly affect; its going to be very heavily driven by how well YT figures out your audience's interests and how valuable that is to advertisers. Attracting "young adults with high disposable income," "sports/outdoors," and "travel" would be biggies. "Food and Cooking" should be pretty good too, if you're ever inclined to include that. But its obvious that what's important to you is the story telling, sharing interesting things in your world. Thank you. Its fascinating watching you explore and grow, especially discovering the "people person" inside you.
I found this a really interesting video, I had no idea how RUclips works behind the scenes. As long as you are not doing anything illegal or immoral to make videos, why shouldn't you make money from your videos? It seems fair enough to me. Glad you are taking your safety more seriously!
WOW, I’d never really considered all that previously. Like you, I’ve shared my photography just to share my photography. Cheers Jack and keep up the good work, all the very best
@@jackasnacks Thanks Jack, I’ll be out there somewhere. You have a great day on your outing, and I look forward to your next video. Flickr owe me for the 4.5 million views on my photos too 😂
@@jackasnacks Just randomly wondered how the strid video guy was doing and checked in on ya. Getting YT partnership truly is unrealistic though isn't it? I mean congrats to you lol but it's definitely like hitting the lottery for chances, definitely doesn't pay out the same though xD
Hi Jack, very interesting video and really well presented. I think a well selected title helps spread the word but the content has to be there to sustain it. I seem to recall it appearing in my feed so it must have been the first of your videos I saw. I'm really glad I found your channel as I get to relive the Lake District again. Incidentally I came across a couple of old photos from a crash site on the old man of Coniston the other day. I put them on Instagram. The other day I was going over the old videos on Martin Zero, he had a viral moment as well with his trapdoor under the canal video similar numbers to yours. The count is now on about 4.5 million three years or so later, it'll be interesting to see how your Strid numbers evolve. He passed nearby the Strid on his way to the scar house dam recently, I know he wanted to see the Strid, you would be a great guide for him!! Looking forward to your next video. Good luck from Spain!!
Oh yes David i know who you are talking about i too have watched the trapdoor in the canal video haha! Funny game this youtube business! I don't pretend to be something i'm not, i dont expect i will ever reach the dizzy heights of millions of views again but i will continue just as i started nearly 4 years ago now. I couldn't recommend youtube enough for a way to grow as a person being able to look back at myself at different points in time is a really useful tool that i am finding value in as i am in my early 30s. I only wish i'd started sooner!
@@jackasnacks Great insight, I like the way it makes people shine and project the best version of themselves. Some great things can come about, one example I found was a young schoolgirl who was doing covers of The Stranglers tracks from her bedroom, she did a brilliant version of Souls and gathered quite a following, leading to being invited up on stage to perform with Hugh Cornwell (the former lead singer of the group), see the little nuclei is her channel. I'm doing a bit of filming for the Steam Toys World Wide Weekend an online fair, just a bit of fun really but it makes you realise how much effort is required to do a good video. One day I will do some from the countryside down here. Have a good weekend
Great video, Jack!! I wish you all the best and hope you will continue showing us the wonderful Lake district and its stories. Looking forward to your next video!!
I Also recommend getting a insta360 camera for your future videos. Everyone seems to love them for filming adventure exploration experiences like you do. Check it out.
Great video, nice to look back and revisit the moment I subscribed to the channel. Good to know you got paid something for your success. I was thinking a while back about other stuff you could try at the Strid but I never posted it. First suggestion - fix up some kind of line between the two sides of the Strid on stakes/tripods but tied down either side with tent peg lines and then have your camera line on a loop hanging on the line so its over the centre of the Strid. Weight the line down and maybe it will then drop straight down to the centre of the Strid. Second suggestion (but expensive and possibly not doable) - get an underwater version of the camera that experts use to map caves etc and set it to do its thing from the bottom. I don't know if such a thing exists. Third suggestion, get the waterboard/EA to dam the river further up and so drain the Strid out. Obviously the last one is a pipe dream. In the meantime keep up the hiking videos.
Here's a way to get the accurate depth take a divers pressure gauge / depth gauge stick it in front of the GoPro as it's dropping that should give you the water pressure / depth then use Google information to check if the water pressure would be different if aerated all the way to the bottom which I doubt it is aerated all the way to the bottom but the camera can watch the pressure gauge / death gauge and that will give you how much water is above you
Great video Jack. It's great that you are so transparent with your you tube stats and earnings - very commendable. Ignore those who say "you are only doing it for the money". In my view, you deserve some reward for all the work that you have to put in to the videos. Keep up the great content.
Bumping the algorithm for you man. Class video, really in depth and that mic sounds ace 😊 Keep up the good work! Remember us on the service desk, yeah? 😂
I guess it says a lot about The Algorithm and other people's tastes, but I had a quick look at your more recent videos and how many views they got. Right now, your adventure to have a coffee in a bothy overlooking Buttermere has about 8,000 views and personally I think that's my favourite video of yours as it just takes me to a place I love to be and doing the things I love to do. Yet videos with viral-style titles do much better (e.g. Strid/Striding Edge content), for fairly obvious reasons. I've been umm-ing and arr-ing about putting some more content on my channel for a while now and I've had a lot of ideas over the last few years. Most lately I've thought about recording my adventures of doing the 214 Wainwrights. As yourself, I don't intend to make any money from it, but maybe I could inspire someone to walk some of the lesser-known fells or just help someone mentally escape from their urban jungle for a few minutes.
Fascinating look back at your Strid videos and how they evolved. Great insight into RUclips's analytics, glad you were able to make a bit of money from them and appreciate you wanting to put that back into improving the quality of your content. Every time I visit the Strid which is usually a few times a year, it still gets my heart rate up and a slightly puckered butt when going near it especially after rain. Looking forward to your next video. P.S. Did you and your friend end up making that Sloe Gin from the Sloe berries?
Great viedeos, I liked them! I'm still convinced the depth could be estimated by calculation. One could maesure the cross section of that stream in a calm spot before or after the "death zone". You'll then need the flow rate at that point and here we are. You'll then roughly know how much water per second flows through the strid => at every point... This is not exact at all but with some refinement one could get close......
I do wonder if advertisers think their sales are justified by what it costs them to advertise on YT. What I mean is….who doesn’t completely ignore them or just watch the Skip countdown while looking down the right hand column for more temptations? I never watch any ad whatsoever.
A big segment of advertising is "brand awareness". Music playing, brand logo on the screen... and when you're looking at the countdown you're *riveted* on that ad, even if most of the valuable stuff is in the periphery.
@@michaelsouth2567 You are quite correct on the theory of marketing…but I assure you, I scroll down the what’s next? column, and scrupulously ignore the dying ad.
Did we ever get a solid number on the actual depth? I remember that with the sonar ball, it said some crazy things like 90 meters. I also saw an old massive stalactite under the water when you sent the camera and light down. In another part of the video, I saw a massive stone on the 'bottom' with smaller stones perfectly surrounded in on all sides. It looked like some sort of ancient burial grave or something. There were other curious metallic-like objects that looked like some sort of dumbbell weight that maybe someone tied onto a rope or something to test the depth. I didn't see any massive 'caves', though. Looked like mainly just big overhangs like we see up top. At least, as far as we could see on camera. There are newer types of sonar that could map this on all sides, but it's quite expensive, I think. A scientific team really needs to go there sometime. The rumor of "all previous equipment that was used to test it was sucked into the water and destroyed" seems a bit far-fetched given that, while the current is strong, it hasn't done that with anything that you've thrown in like the camera and light.
Don’t have a single number but the 3 main ones that we found from this series were 65 meters from the sonar, 30 meters from my line test with the camera on the end and 12 meters from what a diver claimed it to be in the 1970s. All 3 of them aren’t definite answers though. My personal opinion is it’s somewhere between 12 and 30 meters with crazy overhangs!
@@jackasnacks I suspect that the areas where the rocks are sticking up, such as in the middle of the waterfall, are similar to what are known as "karst landscapes" in limestone. Other areas are probably similar to the Banitei Keys of Romania.
You need to do it for the money tho and cause you really like what your videos I wanna see your channel do well you have a recipe here but it needs to be a job like your new video cause your genuine guy
I tell you what Jack .... no fish? (or am I wrong) .... can't the fish make it through the Strid either? (any thoughts?). Subject of money, I heard you were dating Billie Eilish these days .... that doesn't come for free! A fascinating video as ever - the first time I saw anyone explain how you get paid - Merry Exmouth! from Doncaster
These videos are fascinating. Used to work at Bolton Abbey there was a rumoir aboit a honeymoon couple that disappeared and assumed fell in the Strid. Truth is I guess no one knows, people just disappear and no body found as far as I know. Was half expecting to see some bodies down there !!
It wasn't a rumour and they do know. The wife washed up 3 days later, and the husband took a whole month to resurface, and had been dragged 10 miles downstream in that time. It's very easy to find all of the information online as it's such a notorious spot. Any remains that didn't resurface will be trapped in the caves, never to be seen again.
Hey Bill, yeah i'm certainly not ruling the strid out in the future. I actually have a notepad with a TON of suggestions that i've collected over the year from comments and emails. I also get a steady flow of emails of people with unique ideas that would like me to meet up and give something a go. I never really know where the Strid content will end up but i'm open to the community effort. I'm hoping to visit again when it has flooded as i've not captured the Strid when its in full force yet.
£7.70 per thousand views, imagine a small company accidently getting put on a Mr Beast video. Wow, that's blown my mind how much companies will pay. I'm now gonna put the companies I dislike on mute and cost them, I haven't a clue, 0.0007p?
hahaha shes still here Sky! Weathers been shocking past few weekends so we haven't managed to get out again. Wind and rain destroys the audio! She will be in the comments somewhere i imagine she might drop a reply :D

I'm really glad I found your channel as I get to relive the Lake District again. Incidentally I came across a couple of old photos from a crash site on the old man of Coniston the other day. I put them on Instagram.
The other day I was going over the old videos on Martin Zero, he had a viral moment as well with his trapdoor under the canal video similar numbers to yours. The count is now on about 4.5 million three years or so later, it'll be interesting to see how your Strid numbers evolve. He passed nearby the Strid on his way to the scar house dam recently, I know he wanted to see the Strid, you would be a great guide for him!!
Looking forward to your next video. Good luck from Spain!!
Oh yes David i know who you are talking about i too have watched the trapdoor in the canal video haha! Funny game this youtube business! I don't pretend to be something i'm not, i dont expect i will ever reach the dizzy heights of millions of views again but i will continue just as i started nearly 4 years ago now. I couldn't recommend youtube enough for a way to grow as a person being able to look back at myself at different points in time is a really useful tool that i am finding value in as i am in my early 30s. I only wish i'd started sooner!
@@jackasnacks Great insight, I like the way it makes people shine and project the best version of themselves.
Some great things can come about, one example I found was a young schoolgirl who was doing covers of The Stranglers tracks from her bedroom, she did a brilliant version of Souls and gathered quite a following, leading to being invited up on stage to perform with Hugh Cornwell (the former lead singer of the group), see the little nuclei is her channel.
I'm doing a bit of filming for the Steam Toys World Wide Weekend an online fair, just a bit of fun really but it makes you realise how much effort is required to do a good video. One day I will do some from the countryside down here.
Have a good weekend
Thank you for the retrospect on the Strid most enjoyable to look back you do a great job Jack.
Great video, Jack!! I wish you all the best and hope you will continue showing us the wonderful Lake district and its stories. Looking forward to your next video!!
I Also recommend getting a insta360 camera for your future videos. Everyone seems to love them for filming adventure exploration experiences like you do. Check it out.
Thank you for sharing.
Well, something I really want to hear about regarding the Strid, is if there is folklore around it...
Keep up the good work mate
thank mate have a good weekend :)
You do good work
Keep it up
I am blown away by it
I’ve never clicked a notification faster
hahaha thanks Aida love that you're here! I am also here watching it at the same time lol
Great video, nice to look back and revisit the moment I subscribed to the channel. Good to know you got paid something for your success. I was thinking a while back about other stuff you could try at the Strid but I never posted it. First suggestion - fix up some kind of line between the two sides of the Strid on stakes/tripods but tied down either side with tent peg lines and then have your camera line on a loop hanging on the line so its over the centre of the Strid. Weight the line down and maybe it will then drop straight down to the centre of the Strid. Second suggestion (but expensive and possibly not doable) - get an underwater version of the camera that experts use to map caves etc and set it to do its thing from the bottom. I don't know if such a thing exists. Third suggestion, get the waterboard/EA to dam the river further up and so drain the Strid out. Obviously the last one is a pipe dream. In the meantime keep up the hiking videos.
Here's a way to get the accurate depth take a divers pressure gauge / depth gauge stick it in front of the GoPro as it's dropping that should give you the water pressure / depth then use Google information to check if the water pressure would be different if aerated all the way to the bottom which I doubt it is aerated all the way to the bottom but the camera can watch the pressure gauge / death gauge and that will give you how much water is above you
my god those time lines seem so odd.. Good summary but blows my mind as I thought all your strid stuff was early 2021
First Strid upload was 17th July 2021. Feels like bloody ages ago for me now!
Anyone else here because of Martin Zero's comment in his latest video? Love your videos Jack keep them coming 👍
I would have less anxiety watching you film the strid if you harness yourself to a tree or something 😆 love the content, so no falling in please!
Great video Jack. It's great that you are so transparent with your you tube stats and earnings - very commendable. Ignore those who say "you are only doing it for the money". In my view, you deserve some reward for all the work that you have to put in to the videos. Keep up the great content.
Bumping the algorithm for you man. Class video, really in depth and that mic sounds ace 😊
Keep up the good work! Remember us on the service desk, yeah? 😂
hahahah alright ste! what do you mean you're the only rockstar here :D
Cool that your birthday is on the same day as mine too.
I guess it says a lot about The Algorithm and other people's tastes, but I had a quick look at your more recent videos and how many views they got. Right now, your adventure to have a coffee in a bothy overlooking Buttermere has about 8,000 views and personally I think that's my favourite video of yours as it just takes me to a place I love to be and doing the things I love to do. Yet videos with viral-style titles do much better (e.g. Strid/Striding Edge content), for fairly obvious reasons.
I've been umm-ing and arr-ing about putting some more content on my channel for a while now and I've had a lot of ideas over the last few years. Most lately I've thought about recording my adventures of doing the 214 Wainwrights. As yourself, I don't intend to make any money from it, but maybe I could inspire someone to walk some of the lesser-known fells or just help someone mentally escape from their urban jungle for a few minutes.
👍💯
Fascinating look back at your Strid videos and how they evolved. Great insight into RUclips's analytics, glad you were able to make a bit of money from them and appreciate you wanting to put that back into improving the quality of your content.
Every time I visit the Strid which is usually a few times a year, it still gets my heart rate up and a slightly puckered butt when going near it especially after rain. Looking forward to your next video. P.S. Did you and your friend end up making that Sloe Gin from the Sloe berries?
Great viedeos, I liked them! I'm still convinced the depth could be estimated by calculation. One could maesure the cross section of that stream in a calm spot before or after the "death zone". You'll then need the flow rate at that point and here we are. You'll then roughly know how much water per second flows through the strid => at every point... This is not exact at all but with some refinement one could get close......
I do wonder if advertisers think their sales are justified by what it costs them to advertise on YT. What I mean is….who doesn’t completely ignore them or just watch the Skip countdown while looking down the right hand column for more temptations? I never watch any ad whatsoever.
A big segment of advertising is "brand awareness". Music playing, brand logo on the screen... and when you're looking at the countdown you're *riveted* on that ad, even if most of the valuable stuff is in the periphery.
@@michaelsouth2567 You are quite correct on the theory of marketing…but I assure you, I scroll down the what’s next? column, and scrupulously ignore the dying ad.
I use adblock on pc and Vanced on mobile so I never see ads, don't even have to wait or skip them.
Did we ever get a solid number on the actual depth? I remember that with the sonar ball, it said some crazy things like 90 meters. I also saw an old massive stalactite under the water when you sent the camera and light down. In another part of the video, I saw a massive stone on the 'bottom' with smaller stones perfectly surrounded in on all sides. It looked like some sort of ancient burial grave or something. There were other curious metallic-like objects that looked like some sort of dumbbell weight that maybe someone tied onto a rope or something to test the depth. I didn't see any massive 'caves', though. Looked like mainly just big overhangs like we see up top. At least, as far as we could see on camera. There are newer types of sonar that could map this on all sides, but it's quite expensive, I think. A scientific team really needs to go there sometime. The rumor of "all previous equipment that was used to test it was sucked into the water and destroyed" seems a bit far-fetched given that, while the current is strong, it hasn't done that with anything that you've thrown in like the camera and light.
Don’t have a single number but the 3 main ones that we found from this series were 65 meters from the sonar, 30 meters from my line test with the camera on the end and 12 meters from what a diver claimed it to be in the 1970s. All 3 of them aren’t definite answers though. My personal opinion is it’s somewhere between 12 and 30 meters with crazy overhangs!
@@jackasnacks I suspect that the areas where the rocks are sticking up, such as in the middle of the waterfall, are similar to what are known as "karst landscapes" in limestone. Other areas are probably similar to the Banitei Keys of Romania.
Love your vids ❤
I was thinking, there must be a Prog Rock band that's made an album about the Strid? And if there is, i bet it's a double album.
You need to do it for the money tho and cause you really like what your videos I wanna see your channel do well you have a recipe here but it needs to be a job like your new video cause your genuine guy
I'm glad the platform RUclips exists, but it kinda feels unfair how they take most of the ad revenue and are not even clear about how much 🤔
Hey go take a look at high force. Check out a little
Waterfall in keld. And then can you go caving for us?
I tell you what Jack .... no fish? (or am I wrong) .... can't the fish make it through the Strid either? (any thoughts?).
Subject of money, I heard you were dating Billie Eilish these days .... that doesn't come for free!
A fascinating video as ever - the first time I saw anyone explain how you get paid - Merry Exmouth! from Doncaster
Did you manage to mount a diving expedition into the Strid?
These videos are fascinating. Used to work at Bolton Abbey there was a rumoir aboit a honeymoon couple that disappeared and assumed fell in the Strid. Truth is I guess no one knows, people just disappear and no body found as far as I know. Was half expecting to see some bodies down there !!
It wasn't a rumour and they do know. The wife washed up 3 days later, and the husband took a whole month to resurface, and had been dragged 10 miles downstream in that time. It's very easy to find all of the information online as it's such a notorious spot. Any remains that didn't resurface will be trapped in the caves, never to be seen again.
No way
fuk the negative shit people say ..thats what going out and exploring is all about ..positive nature
Will there be more videos and information on the Strid?
Hey Bill, yeah i'm certainly not ruling the strid out in the future. I actually have a notepad with a TON of suggestions that i've collected over the year from comments and emails. I also get a steady flow of emails of people with unique ideas that would like me to meet up and give something a go. I never really know where the Strid content will end up but i'm open to the community effort. I'm hoping to visit again when it has flooded as i've not captured the Strid when its in full force yet.
@@jackasnacks Excellent. Look forward to it. Thanks for the response.
£7.70 per thousand views, imagine a small company accidently getting put on a Mr Beast video. Wow, that's blown my mind how much companies will pay. I'm now gonna put the companies I dislike on mute and cost them, I haven't a clue, 0.0007p?
Can you do a reaction to you reacting? A YT 1st me thinks.
i will get Em to react to me reacting to me :D
You need to give the Strid a stern talking to about transparency. It's murkier than MP's interests down there!
hahaha it is a bit dirty looking
Where’s your pretty friend? She’s a keeper.
You should camp overnight live in the Moors. Scary.
hahaha shes still here Sky! Weathers been shocking past few weekends so we haven't managed to get out again. Wind and rain destroys the audio! She will be in the comments somewhere i imagine she might drop a reply :D
🙋🏼♀️ Hi! Lovely comment to read this morning 🥰
collab with 'i did a thing'(4million subscribers),hed build you a rig to further explore
So, $3/1000 views?
My last name is Strid 💪😎
Even if it WAS to make money, who cares? I do my regular day job to make money. We all do stuff to make money. Idiot commenters.
Who cares if you do it for the money?
I hope no one :/ i just didn't want to come off as being braggy so i probably said it too many times! Enjoy your weekend mate!
Just an idea, maybe they could put a temporary dam up so the strip empties.
