Happy New Year!

Life has been a rollercoaster this past year for me, as I am sure it has been for all of you as well. Not only have I been dealing with the implications of the Unspeakable from 2020, I also had my first child born, received a promotion at my day job (which increased the amount of time I had to spend at work!), and with all the time I had leftover, I was either spending time with my family or finishing the remodel on my house.

My schedule has kept me busy and I have been unable to pay any attention to this channel. I have been wanting to get back to the channel for a long time now.

I am now taking the necessary steps to make time for this channel. I love creating content for YouTube. My goal for 2021 is to not only return to this channel, but I want to grow it! I hope to grow this channel far beyond what it has been in the past. I want to break free from the 9-5 job that I have and go full time creating content for you guys!

I know that this will not be easy, and it will take more effort and time than I have ever been able to put into this channel. I know that you guys will be here to support me, as you have from the beginning. I want to thank you for all your support to this point, and for the support from this point on. I have struggled with motivation at several points since I have made this channel and I know that I will continue to struggle going forward. At times it gets overwhelming and life seems to throw as many wrenches at you as it can. I am incredibly grateful to God that I have this opportunity.

In order to accomplish this goal, some things will change. I won't be putting out specifics right now, as a lot of it is still in the planning phase, however you can expect to see a wider range of topics, which I have wanted to do for a long time now of my favorite things to do in my down time is woodworking. I will probably make some videos about that topic, as well as a potential host of others. I have had countless hobbies in the past that I want to get back into.

If you have ideas on videos I can make, please post them below. I am creating a list of video ideas to keep me focused. It is quite long already, but it can always take another idea or two!

Finally, for those of you who want to support me directly, I am going through the process of setting up YouTube memberships for the channel. I will post about that when it becomes available.

Thank you guys for all the support! I greatly look forward to what this new year brings!

Until next time, this is Nathan, signing off!

I have a new video idea. Its a radical change in topic though, so I wanted your opinion on if I should make the video. Here is the video topic: Cardboard Box Hot Smoker. Its basically how to smoke meat in a cardboard box, so you don't need an expensive and big smoker. I appreciate your feedback!
