Hank is the GOAT. No flash, no yelling, just science, passion, and art.
What an absolute legend.
Don’t forget how he always saves the animals off the road! Truly an amazing human
Agreed 💯

That’s why we admire @PecosHank so much. He’s personable, a lover of nature, animals, weather and everything else that lets us live the human experience it seems. He makes it so cool and relatable…just by vibing and being himself.
Agreed!
RIP Paul Reubens.
Hank you are such an inspiration for me. Glad there was a feature film made about you!
Hi hank
hey man, thank you for all youve done, been following your work since i was a lil kid and am gonna start storm chasing next year. you're an inspiration and you keep so many people's spirits up. hope you're well, and rest well to paul reubens
I’ve been watching you since 2013
@@OLDCCHANNEL ayyy same!! found him through his el reno video
Sponsored by yeti, expected more product placement, got amazing mini documentary on one of the best storm chasers out there. Thank you yeti, major respect for this.
I echo your compliments on this beautifully crafted work of cinema. It just gets more amazing upon re-watching. Tornadic compliments to the cinematic team that produced this masterpiece.
Great piece on Pecos Hank. My only problem is how can you call it the ballad of Hank without using any of his music he puts in his videos? Merely curious.
@@jobethk588 some of his music is in the video.
Exactly what I was thinking and why I came to the comment section. Props to Yeti for that!
No one cares about the NRA, but YETI is against your right to bare arms. If they arent it would be cool if they explained what gun laws they would like added to the thousand plus and why they think they would help law abiding citizens and not criminals.
Hank might be the best storm cinematographer I’ve ever seen. He never fails to capture the true beauty of our weather.
Reed Timmer might get more tornadoes, but NOBODY captures their beauty like Pecos Hank!!!
and he doesn't scream at the top of his lungs
Hank has captured some of my favorite videos of tornadoes. An absolute legend. I also have to shout out Mike Olbinski for some of the most beautiful time-lapses of storms and tornadoes I've ever seen. He's a great watch to.
Pesos Hank has such a great appreciation for nature that translates into his art.
Every time sir. His cinematography always delivers.
Straight up one of the coolest people on the planet
@@shannonlyon you are very observant
@@shannonlyonI hope you heal from whatever happened to you and I hope there’s Justice if you were victimized somehow to make you this way ❤
@@shannonlyonYou know most people are on this platform just to watch stuff, right? 😂
Some people are awesome and Pecos is one cool human being. At least I hope so.
He does seem pretty cool, yet he had to buy a wife via mail order. Bit sad really.
When I was 9, I saw my first tornado and was terrified. A couple of years later, I started watching Pecos Hank. Hank is now the reason why I will be going to college to become a meteorologist. Thanks Hank!
That is so awesome!
Are we livin' the same life?
I discovered Hank while going to college for meteorology😂 wasn't much into youtube until covid started. I witnessed an ef4 first hand in dallas in 2015, and I've driven into a rain wrapped ef0 on accident while driving to college(I was not the driver, the driver ignored my warnings and just kept plowing forward despite the horizon being black, I'm extremely thankful it was only ef0.) And that prompted me to study and take an interest in tornadoes and severe weather. Found Hank in 2021 during college and have been watching him since. Love his content
@Pecoshank
i wish you the best of luck and i hope you achieve your dream goal bro! keep going!
Tornadoes are the greatest show on Earth and Hank is the best at showing us that spectacle. His videos changed my life.
♥️♥️♥️
Same here. It was Hank's videos that convinced me to go and see these phenomena myself.
Miss you, Pecos Hank.
We love the lightning shots too!
The greatest show on Earth for those whose lives aren't completely destroyed by them....
Simply one of the best mini-docos about a storm chasing character like no other. Proud to call Hank a great friend. What you see here is genuine and what Hank is really like.
You should do one yourself Daniel, your channel along with Hanks are my two favorites!
Don't sell yourself short, Daniel... you are also an amazing chaser!
I am also proud to call Hank a great friend. Fantastic down to earth human being. I’ve done 2 Zoom calls with him and exchanged some messages with him on Patreon, and every time I’ve spoken with him has been absolutely wonderful. I definitely look forward to meeting him in person at some point.
Daniel, you and Hank are my favorite people to watch. I'm glad you keep making it over to my neck of the woods year after year.
For those who aren't familiar, Hank is more than a chaser. His channel is excellent for getting some weather science on storm-related phenomena that is both in-depth and easy to understand, and his time lapse videos of non-tornadic storms are as beautiful and awe-inspiring as anything you will ever see. I personally think he lays up some good karma for himself by his kind acts for small animals (snakes, turtles, even dung beetles) that gives him safe passage from Nature as he gets crazy close to deadly tornadoes. Hank is a rock star in my book.
He was also one of the people who discovered a new TLE: GHOSTs
true, agree with both you.
The conversation between Hank and his wife! The contrast, he chases tornadoes and she's scared of a wasp. Their dynamic is truly wholesome.
Opposites Attract. 🖤
ikr so cute
It's not just tornados, Hank is the first person to do a full show on red sprites. I had never even heard of those before seeing that episode and it's one the most amazing acts of nature I have seen.
Anyone else been watching pecos hank for years????
Hank is such a special individual, he has so much talent. He is truly a gift. This is awesome, I love it!
Hank to me is like the love child of Steve Irwin and Bob Ross. He's so wholesome and passionate about what he does, you can't help but but to be drawn in! I've always loved watching storms whenever they roll through, but I find myself appreciating them more and noticing more about them.
I could’ve watched a full hour of this, at least. Great cinematography, great topic (tornado hunting), and great subject (Hank). Such a truly interesting human, he is. Glad I found his channel this summer.
Easily
Yes! We need more Hank! ❤️🌪️
Me too!
I found him last summer too! So thankful for him.
I am tickled pink that our turtle-rescuing, June bug-narrating’, snake-wrangling, PeeWee Herman-impersonating scientist / musician / full time storm-chaser has finally gotten his own movie. I especially love the drone shot of the three different roads spliced into one frame, and the mid-chase comment, “We’re kinda safe-Ish.” Hank, you’re just the best there is - we love you. Keep doing what you do.
If anyone deserves his own ballad it’s Pecos Hank. It’s long overdue. Major respect to this talented man of many skills.
Pecos Hank is my favorite underrated RUclips channel of all time.
This is so unreal. The cinematography, narration, and music are unmatched. Thank you so much, this is so beautiful.
The color grading is a bit off though...not really suitable for tornadoes, storms
@@andreiwindstorm……… move along bro. What is this comment?
@@Zeta9966 what's your problem?! Lol the snowflakery these days is out of scale
That’s Hank for ya!
@@andreiwindstorm❤
Pecos truly is the weather gunslinger, a lone ranger guided only by his maps and instincts. He’s humble, down-to-Earth, fearless, yet always cautious. I’ve followed his content even since the early beginnings of his career, and I’ve always been completely intrigued by him and the storms he’s willing to chase. Pecos is unlike any other person. I will never stop supporting this man and his incredible content and drive to chase the unknown.
He is David carradine in kung fu
Hell yeah. Glad that Hank is being exposed to a wider audience. If anyone deserves it, he does. Truly the best
I had the privilege of meeting him when I was doing my undergrad for meteorology. He is seriously one of the coolest, most genuine people I have ever met!
Pecos Hank lassos tornadoes and chews on lightning bolts while strumming his guitar! Absolute legend!
And helping out animals and other people
I watched Timmer, and got a REALLY LOUD weather report. I watched Pecos Hank and saw nature almost as an art form. The most beautiful one.
Hank is my absolute favorite. Always saving animals, cares what his shots looks like, doesn’t scream and educates his audience.
Irwin mixed with Timmer, mixed with Music
Fascinating portrait of a man who is a bit crazy, but also courageous, thoughtful, kind and droll. He also produces outstanding imagery and he talks to animals. What a guy!
Hank's lower key, light hearted and (relatively) sensible chase style is a joy to watch. No screaming, no pretend drama. His photography and video are beautiful, and his explanations of tornado and lightning phenomenon are awesome. The wildlife shots are a fun aside! A Pecos Hank video is an immediate click from me!
From music to weather
Same that click on a Hank vid from me is like a cat or dog to a laser pointer.
There simply aren't words for how well this production was done.
Hank is one of the most interesting dudes in the world, and this film team captured his essence beautifully. ❤🌪
Hank is one of the best documentarians I’ve ever seen - all of his videos are of exceptional quality and not only focus on tornadoes but also on the creatures he finds. One of the coolest and most talented people I’ve found on the internet.
I’m happy to see Hank getting the love and recognition he deserves. Dude is a legend.
I’m glad Hank is getting real about how much danger he’s in. I pray he stays safe and continues to do his amazing work.
He's definitely got plot armor. He's captured about three different moments where he should have died.
Thanks Hank for the history to which most of us know and have followed your endeavors for years now!
Hank is the real genuine article. He is talented in so many ways and always has a great sense of humor. He will go down as one on the best storm chasers ever.
It's the best when Hank drops a new video, it's the worst when it ends. He can't put out enough content.
Hank is one of my absolute favorite people on here.
Bless your mom's heart. She did a great job. You are awesome in everything you do. Love your tornado chases.
12 minutes is not enough. Need an entire series or season(s) called "Chasing the blue devil with Pecos Hank"
man came from an amazing underground rock band and created one of the most kino youtube channels in history. what an absolute legend.
So many comments to like all positive to! Love you Hank you're truly on of the funniest people on this earth.
Thd Man, the Myth, the Legend..Pecos Hank. The most stunning production on the internet.
What a beautiful mini docu. Thanks Yeti! Hank is one of my favorites. He taught me to love and appreciate storms, snakes, spiders, his music and so much more! Luv him and his work!
Rockwell
Hank, by far, is my favorite storm chaser. The charisma, the humor and the music he does himself, all in the best storm footage on RUclips.
Pecos Hank is by far my favorite storm-chaser. Just super down to earth guy and good person, this video is amazing! It was so cool to learn about his past and his thoughts on the dangerous side of storm-chasing. The cinematography is incredible as well, Well done! :D
I dont think he realizes how big of an impact he's had on people. Awesome documentary!!
Hank's calm demeanor, sense of humor, and brilliant editing make him the best storm chaser hands down.
The cinematography, narration and general personality of Hank is unsurpassed in the chasing industry. Top notch the best of em all.
I’ve never enjoyed a video that wasn’t made by Pecos Hank as much as I enjoyed this one. I can’t even express to you, or anyone reading this, how much I appreciate this little look at my hero on the other side of the camera.
I love Pecos Hank
Pecos Hank is a certified legend for me. And the film was crisp and fantastic.
Been watching PecosHank since the beginning his storm chasing career on RUclips. I gotta say if I ever wanna chase storms I'd want Hank to be my guide. This man is legendary.
When there’s nothing to feel or hold onto in life, Hank is the one that comes around and changes that. Thank you
this man single handed made me want to become a storm chaser, the amount of time that ive done doing research on them, and then seeing pecos upload
Yeti, you got it all dialed in with having Pecos on your team. state of the art person. always will be a inspiration for me and many others.
This made me cry because life is precious
Dude, Pecos is a legend. He's been out there documenting nature! Bravo Pecos. Keep it up!
Plus him being a Jack of All trades adds a little...
I grew up being absolutely terrified of tornados, I'd have nightmares about them very frequently, even though we don't live in an at risk area and i had never seen one before (I blame Twister). Eventually, the nightmares stopped but the phobia remained. I avoided any videos about them, changed the channel when the news reported on them. One day, YT recommended a Pecos Hank video and the thumbnail just looked really interesting. So, I watched it. Then another. Then another. Then I went down a 3 month rabbit hole watching every tornado video i could find, learning everything i could about them, it was an obsession. I learned that they don't just randomly spawn out of any ole rain cloud like I previously believed, but that certain conditions had to be met. My fear remained, but now that i understood them, it was no longer an irrational fear. I was in awe, I still am. I'm forever thankful to Hank for opening up that world to me and not only making the knowledge accessible and intelligible, but entertaining, interesting and downright beautiful.
Pecos Hank…An American Renaissance Man..Great Ballad!
im glad hank is getting the recognition he deserves been watching him well before his popularity
She’s beautiful 💕 so happy to see your amazing self with an equally amazing & beautiful wifey 😭😭 makes my heart happy 💖
I love how his own music was used, to get his vibe. It's so unique and really sets the tone every time.
Agree I re-watched and you know you’re a fan when you start humming the song used🤦
I absolutely love watching tornado chasing videos and I have watched them here and on many other platforms. Pecos Hank is the BEST CHASER BY FAR and he is my hero! I'd love to meet him one day and maybe we could chase a few storms. Love you Mr. Hank and keep up the excellent work!!
hank is a legend, he makes some of the best content on youtube
Hank is the best tornado chaser out there, there is no disputing that. So glad he’s getting more recognition. Never change, Hank
The most underrated feature of one of the best storm chasers out there.
Hank is the GOAT, love everything about his content
Gotta tell ya one of Hank’s most endearing qualities is not only his top tier storm chasing ability, but his genuine love of nature and all the critters, big and small, that make it so fascinating. I’ve lost count of how many snapping turtles alone he’s saved from ending up as roadkill in his videos. Just a delightful person. Peace! :)
Pecos Hank is my fav! He shoots some amazing stuff and he's such an awesome character :D
Hank!!!!! Dude is the absolute GOAT!!!
He's the best there is, I wish I could be as awesome as he is!!!!
Geez why am I just now seeing this?!? Pecos Hank is my favvvvvorite storm chaser. He's awesome and gets some of the most amazing footage I've ever seen. Long live PH!!!
Hank is the GOAT
HE IS SO AMAZING WE LOVE HIM
Thank you for covering Hank!! He's an amazing human being. 💚💚
Hank is a legend. Thanks YETI for putting this together.
FANTASTIC docu on Hank!! You captured him perfectly!!
Going to recommend this to everyone!!
Thank you!!!
Hank... you are a huge reason why I am facinated by severe weather and I'm so happy that this production was made.
Hank is wonderful! He is informative, charismatic, and outside of showing incredible weather, he showcases people from all walks of life and places we'll likely never get to see. He seems like a genuine dude and his content is unmatched.
Hank is one of my favourite storm chasers, no dramatics just pure talent driven by passion and knowledge. I actually knew since 11 I wanted to be a meteorologist/storm chaser and Hank is truly an inspiration to me someone I can easily look up to in this field. Hoping one day I get to his level of credibility.
I love this dude. What a legend! Best cinematographer I've ever seen.
Its because of Hank I study meteorology and storm chase in my off time. After Jarrell my family in Killeen-Ft Hood was so terrified of Tornado risks i caught it to. Now that fear has become wonder as I learn more, and yearn to see more.
So thank you Pecos Hank, for showing me a spectacular part of nature I would've otherwise hid from.
Beautifully shot and edited. Hank is one of two storm chasers I follow, the other being Skip/Jenn. Yeti makes Hank into a mythical figure like Indiana Jones. Well done!
One thing I've figured out, from watching this man and his work, is that he has a very deep, bright, intelligence. And a huge heart for widllife. Keep on rocking, my dude!
Such a beautiful soul & being ~ i love you bro 💖
Peace, Love & Blessings
Lexi 😻
Growing up in tornado alley, tornados have always struck me as one of the most fascinating weather phenomena. I found Hank’s videos almost 5 years ago, and I’ve been following his music and storm chasing ever since!
He captures shots that are truly amazing. Even when they're completely scientific they're beautiful. I look forward to mid to late storm season every year for the past few years because Hank will be dropping more badass content.
how do you not love this guy?
BEST DOCUMENTARY EVERRRRRR!!
MY FAVORITE. WE LOVE PECOS HANK!
Extremely well done. Hank is one of my favorite storm chasers for how down to earth he is. Thanks for sharing his story!
Thanks to Pecos Hank and his videos, I've seen some crazy stuff too. Hank is a true legend.
Over the years I've come to learn that Hank really is just one of the coolest and truly best humans out there.
He's my favorite. My kids love Hanks videos as well He's like that one great science/wildlife teacher throughout school that makes things so interesting, but even better. Or like the Steve Irwin of chasers. Love Hank.
Just wish summore of his own written music was included in this video. He's an incredible song writer.
Been watching him for a decade! I've probably spent hundreds of hours watching and learning after falling in love with the subject through his videos. Happily one of the best rabbit holes I've fallen into in my whole life, thank you Pecos Hank!
Love Hank. I only support 3 folks' Patreon and he's one.
Hank’s got THE best Tornado content on the planet. Hands down.
No way. Hank is amazing Ive been watching him since 2020 and he has grown tremendously
Pecos Hank is on my Mount Rushmore of storm chasers. The combination of his photography, storytelling, music, and attitude make him one of the greatest to ever do it.
Hank you are an old salt and an old soul. Thank you for your work!
There's Pecos Hank and there's the other chasers. Love him even more after this!
Pecos Hank is bar none my favorite content creator .
