Hope the middle part doesn't cause any concern. It was just an attempt to make something evocative with the footage I had. Obviously it's been a rough month, but I really am doing OK, all things considered! Edit: Members, there's an alternate version you can watch. Same video, but with copywritten music. A couple tracks just "fit" and I was feeling artsy lol.
Just a word of caution, be careful with any of the electronics you took from the studio. We had a housefire a little over 7 years ago. Fortunately it was contained to the basement, but we couldn't live in the house for a year while it was being reno'd. My mother in law lives next door to us, so we stayed with her. My PC was upstairs so it wasn't destroyed in the fire. A few days after it happened, I was able to grab it. It worked for a week or so, then started tripping the breaker as soon as it was turned on. Turns out the smoke fried the PSU. With all the ash that was in your studio, I'd be leery of it. Best of luck to you man, we're all rooting for you.
i worked with Plasma cutters cutting up to 2" the metal dust was NUTS! its crazy all the PC's in the office and shop where filled with it and it amazes me how none of them shorted out!
I fully second this! A couple years ago, my cousin lost his home in a fire as well (Not from a CA wildfire). He went to work, left his laptop plugged into the wall, and the battery swelled and caught on fire. *Technically* the only part of the house on fire was the front, but the entire house was ruined. The smoke got into every crevice of the house and it was ruined, all ruined. There were some things that were already packed up on boxes, on the other side of the house, but even those things absolutely REEKED of smoke. If there was anything that was even slightly exposed to smoke? Permanently covered in a bed of smoke and ash - from clothes laying on a bed, to in a closet or in drawers. So yeah... Even when we read about how there are houses in California they have been "spared" from the fire? I just don't see how any of those houses aren't ruined by all of the smoke - it happened to my cousin's when it was just half of one house, let alone the staggering size and spread of the fires in LA.
@@wyatt77777 We will probably be seeing a Lot of how to properly clean your pcs after a fire videos. They will probably be long. That crap looks like it's everywhere in his studio.
@@griffhawkins8909 That's the truth. We had to wash all of our clothes and bedding with TSP, and it took multiple washes each load to finally get the smoke smell out. In our case, we had an old fridge in the basement for storage and the motor caught fire. Thank god we were home and it was around 7PM, so we were able to catch in time before the whole house went up. But it still destroyed the basement and we ended up having to replace the basement ceiling/floor of upstairs for my son's room since that's where the fire was centered. We had a Servpro type company, but not Servpro itself, clean everything. Insurance paid for that fortunately. And those companies are leaches, there were 3 different companies watching the firefighters put it out. They must have scanners and go as soon as they hear a fire called out. Felt like ambulance chasing lawyers.
I hope that returning to your office and getting back to some normalcy has helped you close one chapter and begin to look forward to the next. Looking forward to taking the ride along with you!
You’re my favorite house-burned-down content creator. In all seriousness though, I admire your attitude during this hardship and I look forward to more videos!
Regarding the pokemon mags at the house - it might be an interesting souvenir to frame one of the covers and keep it as a reminder, smoke damage and all.
@@1Maverick2 Pallisades has a lot of celebrities with paid for homes. He stated his was in the Eaton fire. He talked about a mortgage. Insurance companies take forever to pay out.
Your videos on the fire and dealing with the loss of everything have really resonated with me. I went through a very similar situation myself back in 2019. I was away on a business trip and woke up to a frantic call from my neighbor saying my house was on fire. I live by myself so the house was empty (I'm so thankful my dogs were with my brother at the time). They didn't know I was out of town and had been busting out windows trying to get inside. The fire started at 4am when no one was home and the sound of the flames eventually woke them up. At that point the house was completely engulfed. I live in rural Alaska, so by the time the fire department managed to get there it was a lost cause. I'll never forget that morning as I scrambled to hastily work with my employer to get flights back home from Florida... and then just that mind-numbing fog that hung over my head the entire trip home as I ran from one airport to another, fielding phone calls from family and friends. Trying to make sense of all the chaos as it washed over me like a flood. There was nothing left. The fire had burned so hot that my car's aluminum engine block had melted to the concrete floor of the garage in a puddle. In the end, the root cause of the fire was never determined. There just wasn't anything left for the investigators to look at. What really struck me is your reaction here when you pulled up to your house. It was almost exactly how I remember that first drive back when what remained of my house came into view. Just seeing nothing but a pile of burnt ash and debris where the house used to be. I stood there in the driveway just like you in muted silence trying to process it all for some time. It didn't feel real. I wish you the best of luck with recovering from this. It took me 2 years to make myself whole again after I lost everything except for what I had in my suitcase for the business trip. Having family to rely on really helped me and I'm glad you have that same support. It really makes a big difference. For everyone else watching this, I hope I can pass on some valuable lessons I learned to help someone else deal with such a life-changing event in the future. 1. Take pictures of all your belongings in every single room of your house. Catalog all of your stuff and then store those photos off-site in some way or another. Having said photos will make itemizing your losses a lot easier with insurance so that you have proof of ownership should they try to fight you on something. 2. Check your homeowners insurance policy and make sure there's no carve-outs for certain categories of belongs. In my case, State Farm had an exclusion for "auto parts" and what that ultimately meant was that the summer tires and OEM rims of my truck were not covered. I had Geico auto insurance and since the tires and rims were not on the truck (at the airport), they also did not cover the loss. So I ended up eating ~$6k for all of that in the end. Also make sure that you have addendums to cover unique things like a large stamp collection, or something else of high value that is not normally owned by an average person. Most insurance providers have such add-ons that can be added to your policy. 3. Get a fireproof safe for your important documents. I was always skeptical of how well these work, but I was absolutely stunned that my cheap one from Walmart survived. And that meant all my docs like my birth certificate, passport, etc survived. Even with the fire burning hot enough to melt aluminum, that cheap little safe hung in there. It was literally the only thing I was able to recover from the remains of the house. I wish you the best, Kyle. Keep being awesome and hang tough. It will take some time, but you will be made whole again.
@@g35veiled it truly is, I had never felt so hopeless and lost in my entire life, I lost everything that I owned, everything that I gathered in my life up until that point, worst thing is, we are on the poverty line and we don't have insurance, it happened on march 18th 2022, I had never been in such a helpless position in my whole life, it really changed me as a person, it isn't something I would wish opon anybody.
It is so refreshing to see you be able to do a setup that you can at least use, even if it's not what it should be. Kyle, I must say, your resiliency through all of this has been nothing short of amazing! Seeing this video gives me hope for the future of you and your channel! I will say, seeing your home like it was, again, put a serious lump in my throat, but knowing how you are handling it, softens that blow a tiny bit. As a friend here in Texas, please be safe, stay positive as you have been, and let us know if you or your family/friends need anything!
I just discovered your channel yesterday and man, it's refreshing to hear your positive humor in this tragedy. I also lost my family home and business warehouse in Altadena. Haven't been able to get back just yet, but just watching the footage of you get off at Lake Ave and drive up Marengo gives me all the feels. Sorry about your house. Glad to see your positive attitude and humor in all this! It'll take some years but Altadena will be back :)
I am glad that you are ok and that you are still able to keep making these videos. There is a sense of connection that isn't felt too often. Wish for the best!
Happy to see the office is still standing. Condolences for the situation and hope that you and everyone else that was affected are recovering smoothly.
Hey Kyle, you should probably reupload/blur out your keys to the studio. Because people are able to duplicate keys just by a picture/video nowadays. Stay safe, and healthy!
Glad this was mentioned! Went straight down to the comments after seeing the shot of the new key. Its really not that hard to even just 3d print a copy of a key from a picture, so PLEASE change your locks!
Should make a video on how to safely clean a PC that is full of ash and soot after fire where the PC survived. Might be the only time you are able to this.
You have to give yourself ALOT of grace. You're brave and can see you love what you do especially dealing with your circumstances. Just surprised you got up and pressed record to post for us. God bless you and your family and friends 🙏
I feel for you Kyle. I live in Cali for 10 years and went through 1 tiny EQ, now I'm back home in Az and don't have to worry about those or fires or mudslides. Stay Strong and you'll come back better then ever. Big Fan.....
It's tough man, there is one HUGE advantage to this disaster for you. You don't have to pack anything and move it to wherever you decide is your next place you call home man. Keep your chin up, you're alive, you're healthy, your cats are safe with you. Much love man.
I know you don't need to hear anything negative right now but it's a bad idea to flash your keys even for a moment like that. It's very easy to grab a snapshot of them decode the key cut and make a copy. I only say this because you have gone through so much I would hate for theft to be piled on.
I'm looking forward to see you tackle this opportunity for change you have been given. The reset options are endless. In that video where you talked about feeling unburdened by what's happened to your "things" I was really relating. Keep going Kyle. You bring light to many.
Its okay brotha as long as your warehouse was good. Sucks your home was destroyed but at least you have some of your workstuff to distract you for now. Im from LA too but i wasnt near the fires. Absolutely insane how fast they spread. Much love man!
It is so chilling to see some houses in between that are still intact... The amount of people impacted by this is just unfathomable for me. I hope that for everyone involved it doesn't take too long to get things going again, that the insurances don't take too long to get things sorted. Glad to see you're still keeping your spirits up Kyle! As much as possible anyways!
Even the studio covered in ash is such an unfortunate thing. That’s sooo much cleaning that must be done, especially inside of the PCs and on all of the surfaces in the entire building, including all of the furniture.
I agree about the cleaning which needs to be done, cleaning repainting etc or replacing anything distorted or deflected by heat though not burned. Sadly from what I know from people in Kyle"s situation at his office, even some things which survived can't be cleaned, odour damaged still results in them being discarded. Some insurance companies are good about this - others not so.
man i soo sorry to hear what happen , good thing no one got hurt, and at least you didn't lose your stuff in the office , i would cry and break down it was me, but hope the best for you man
The most important thing of all : you are safe . You have your whole life to realize your dreams and aspirations . There is a old saying if it does not kill you it makes you stronger . Enjoy everyday you have .
Kyle, I cannot even begin to know what you are going through. You have been so optomistic in a situation where so many others would have given up. I have the utmost respect for you brother. Keep up the great work and just know you have so many people out here just praying for you. Be safe and keep up with your great attitude.
You can be min, hours, days, or weeks behind everyone else and I'll still support and watch. GL on the recovery. As a Floridian I can say it will be a long journey.
Stay S💪RONG Brother! I hope everything slowly but surely falls into place and you stay positive throughout all your adjustments in your life. Take care Brother! Much love from Chicago!🫶
In all the bad, it's gotta feel good to go back to somewhere familiar that has the other half of your life in it. I can tell this lifted your spirits and glad to see it :) Stay strong man.
Glad to see you ok. Know how you feel. The hurricanes hit us pretty hard this year. Fire would be another story. Hope it all gets better for you broski!
The images of the devastation caused are very emotional. We didn't get to see specific roads and streets in the news coverage, here in the UK, just the birds eye view. This angle makes it a lot more personal and thought provoking. I'm so sorry you've had to go through this trauma mate. Sending you all the very best for getting your life and home back on an even keel as soon as humanly possible. There's a lot of love out there for you.
I am so sorry to hear about what happened to everyone in the fires, my deepest condolences to everyone who was involved.. I wish I could help those who been affected but sadly, being in a rough spot myself, I cannot.. I only wish for everyone to recover and slowly heal from the mental and physical wear of what happened, hang in there man.. you got this!
I am born and raised in Altadena and its still my home. It breaks my heart to see all of the destruction. I know we will rebuild, keep your head up. Altadena will come back as good as ever.
I was relieved to see your office was still intact. The footage of the fire still gets to me but it is a glimpse of the past. Onward to the Future, no time to waste, stay strong stay safe and most of all stay sane.
God i love you`r optimism man, it's hard to see all of the distruction the fire made, specially you'r house. I'm praying all will be good for you and all the peaple that has been affected by this tragedy. Love you man.
I know times are not the best for you and your headspace dealing with what you have going on. I just want to say I really enjoy your vlog-style content. I hope you continue to make more like it. I like it more because it feels more personal to me.
man even with your house burning down... you're still thinking about your community and still have the giveaways in your mind. You really are just the best and a saint. We all love you just as much as you love all of us
I actually saw that 9800X3D go onsale a few weeks ago. I almost bought it, but decided to hold off. My 7800X3D is working just fine for what I do, so no rush for me.
New life, new start, and it is true, it sucks, but people will come to give you support and don’t feel that you failed, you are achieving a lot, just by trying! So keep on, you are gonna stand on your feet. I know you will!
Jesus. That was heart wrenching. I'm so sorry for your loss. As many have said, you're ability to forge on despite tragedy after tragedy in your world is nothing short of inspirational. Always one of my favorites 🍻
It's heartbreaking to see what you are all going through out there. The devestation is off the scale. Thoughts are with you my friend, keep on doing what you're doing it's appreciated by many.
that stop at yoru house looking out at what was left just feels like the end of iron-man 3 when Tony was looking out over the remnants of his house, and i always said you were the Inland Tony Stark and we love you brother you got this and we are all here for you
I grew up there. Still live close by. Guts me every time I see the devastation. I'm so sorry for everything you're going through. You strike me as someone who can find joy in the small things despite circumstances. I hope you can hang on to that.
Hope the middle part doesn't cause any concern. It was just an attempt to make something evocative with the footage I had. Obviously it's been a rough month, but I really am doing OK, all things considered!

Or that the water types somehow survived the fire??
Just a word of caution, be careful with any of the electronics you took from the studio. We had a housefire a little over 7 years ago. Fortunately it was contained to the basement, but we couldn't live in the house for a year while it was being reno'd. My mother in law lives next door to us, so we stayed with her. My PC was upstairs so it wasn't destroyed in the fire. A few days after it happened, I was able to grab it. It worked for a week or so, then started tripping the breaker as soon as it was turned on. Turns out the smoke fried the PSU. With all the ash that was in your studio, I'd be leery of it. Best of luck to you man, we're all rooting for you.
Next video idea: which psu lasts the longest after being covered in ash from a fire.
i worked with Plasma cutters cutting up to 2" the metal dust was NUTS! its crazy all the PC's in the office and shop where filled with it and it amazes me how none of them shorted out!

Dude! No worries. You got this! And us! Rooting for you over here! (The Netherlands)
Even the studio covered in ash is such an unfortunate thing. That’s sooo much cleaning that must be done, especially inside of the PCs and on all of the surfaces in the entire building, including all of the furniture.
I agree about the cleaning which needs to be done, cleaning repainting etc or replacing anything distorted or deflected by heat though not burned. Sadly from what I know from people in Kyle"s situation at his office, even some things which survived can't be cleaned, odour damaged still results in them being discarded. Some insurance companies are good about this - others not so.
man i soo sorry to hear what happen , good thing no one got hurt, and at least you didn't lose your stuff in the office , i would cry and break down it was me, but hope the best for you man
Man, hits hard to see you start almost at square one. And still you try. Keep it up, my man. Thoughts and prayers with you.
Starting over is always hard, but I've found that it brings great reward and perspective. Good luck!
The most important thing of all : you are safe .
You have your whole life to realize your dreams and aspirations .
There is a old saying if it does not kill you it makes you stronger .
Enjoy everyday you have .
Kyle, I cannot even begin to know what you are going through. You have been so optomistic in a situation where so many others would have given up. I have the utmost respect for you brother. Keep up the great work and just know you have so many people out here just praying for you. Be safe and keep up with your great attitude.
It's sad how much people out there have lost, Glad to see you are getting back on your feet. From Alabama, our hearts go out to ya'll.
You can be min, hours, days, or weeks behind everyone else and I'll still support and watch. GL on the recovery. As a Floridian I can say it will be a long journey.
I love the honestly and vulnerability here. Sending positive vibes!
God bless you, everything will still be good. I wish you success in everything.
FYI, Ash can be somewhat conductive, probably a good idea to blow out anything from the office before powering it up...
Stay S💪RONG Brother! I hope everything slowly but surely falls into place and you stay positive throughout all your adjustments in your life. Take care Brother! Much love from Chicago!🫶
In all the bad, it's gotta feel good to go back to somewhere familiar that has the other half of your life in it. I can tell this lifted your spirits and glad to see it :) Stay strong man.
Glad to see you ok. Know how you feel. The hurricanes hit us pretty hard this year. Fire would be another story. Hope it all gets better for you broski!
I love your motivation, keep it up we will always be there!
Thank you for being vulnerable with us. You are Awesome Sauce!
Lots of thoughts and wishes to you and your family! I hope you'll get back on your feet asap!
keep up the good work. You'll get through this and God bless!!
The images of the devastation caused are very emotional. We didn't get to see specific roads and streets in the news coverage, here in the UK, just the birds eye view. This angle makes it a lot more personal and thought provoking. I'm so sorry you've had to go through this trauma mate. Sending you all the very best for getting your life and home back on an even keel as soon as humanly possible. There's a lot of love out there for you.
I am so sorry to hear about what happened to everyone in the fires, my deepest condolences to everyone who was involved.. I wish I could help those who been affected but sadly, being in a rough spot myself, I cannot.. I only wish for everyone to recover and slowly heal from the mental and physical wear of what happened, hang in there man.. you got this!
I am born and raised in Altadena and its still my home. It breaks my heart to see all of the destruction. I know we will rebuild, keep your head up. Altadena will come back as good as ever.
That middle part feels so humbling... But watching this vid really seems that what doesn't get you, makes you stronger. Keep it up Kyle!
You didnt fail dude, just dealing wit what life threw at ya. Always here to support you and watch your videos!
I was relieved to see your office was still intact. The footage of the fire still gets to me but it is a glimpse of the past. Onward to the Future, no time to waste, stay strong stay safe and most of all stay sane.
Good to see not everything got Burned! TREES survived!
sorry for your loss. I'm glad the kitty's are ok
God i love you`r optimism man, it's hard to see all of the distruction the fire made, specially you'r house. I'm praying all will be good for you and all the peaple that has been affected by this tragedy. Love you man.
It's ok man you have all the support from us. Keep up The good work.
It warms my heart...
Good to see you so positve.
We love you Kyle. Keep your head up and just take it step by step.
I know times are not the best for you and your headspace dealing with what you have going on. I just want to say I really enjoy your vlog-style content. I hope you continue to make more like it. I like it more because it feels more personal to me.
Sure made their day with a picture and the plaque! Even the smallest things can bring happiness!
Love seeing you back to vlogging. your humor always works so well this type of content. Would love seeing you doing some content with paul again too!
It's uplifting to see you're slowly finding your feet. Cheers and best wishes!
Bro, this is the perfect opportunity to do builds on a budget!
I got the feels Kyle, I really did. Went through some not too long ago, and did what you've done -- staring at broken pieces. Stay strong brother 💪
man even with your house burning down... you're still thinking about your community and still have the giveaways in your mind. You really are just the best and a saint. We all love you just as much as you love all of us
I actually saw that 9800X3D go onsale a few weeks ago. I almost bought it, but decided to hold off. My 7800X3D is working just fine for what I do, so no rush for me.
the dude asking for the picture was the sweetest thing. props to you kyle. always humble
Onwards and upwards Kyle. You got this my guy! Much love from Norway :)
New life, new start, and it is true, it sucks, but people will come to give you support and don’t feel that you failed, you are achieving a lot, just by trying!
So keep on, you are gonna stand on your feet. I know you will!
thank you for what you do Kyle (and Lyle, we never really forgot the dude)
have a good one!
Jesus. That was heart wrenching. I'm so sorry for your loss.
As many have said, you're ability to forge on despite tragedy after tragedy in your world is nothing short of inspirational.
Always one of my favorites 🍻
It's heartbreaking to see what you are all going through out there. The devestation is off the scale. Thoughts are with you my friend, keep on doing what you're doing it's appreciated by many.
that stop at yoru house looking out at what was left just feels like the end of iron-man 3 when Tony was looking out over the remnants of his house, and i always said you were the Inland Tony Stark and we love you brother you got this and we are all here for you
Seeing your neighborhood is so heartbreaking, Im just glad you and the cats are okay
keep keepimg your head up I won't ever stop watching your material. prayers to you & your family, friends

"There's always the next chapter"
You got this Kyle.
Best wishes to you bro. Keep your head up! 👊🏾
I love the 80s style montage at 8:58
Hang in there, Kyle. You will make it through this and be better than ever!
Don't be to hard on your self. To even get this video out is amazing given the circumstances.
Hang In there Kyle, Things will get sorted out in time.
I grew up there. Still live close by. Guts me every time I see the devastation. I'm so sorry for everything you're going through. You strike me as someone who can find joy in the small things despite circumstances. I hope you can hang on to that.
Best review on testing setups. Great vlog!
must be completely surreal to see your home like that, and your whole neighbourhood. Happy you and kitties are ok
You will recover! You are still young and you are successful with your channel! Take care & good luck!
