I felt it was necessary to talk about what's been going on with me over the last few months since I've not released a new video. Here goes!

[@TheDakota37073]

Im a young man, had no father growing up. It's cool to have somebody to learn from, keep it up

[@jp34604]

That was quite honest what are are you into these days I can point out some key things for you

[@JeandrePetzer]

I've watched all your videos. I honestly see you as a mentor :) You've shown me a lot of the practical real world experience I'd never have known about if it weren't for your videos. If I'm ever around in America I'd definitely not mind working a day or two with you or helping on a project. I love these videos :) Please dont give up.

[@moonsengineeringadventures623]

I know that feeling, after moving my car got broken into and my tools where all taken out of my trunk. Including my dad / grandpa's dremel and tons of little pieces I had gathered over the years to make my perfect toolkit. It really hurt.

[@Lewdacris916]

ive been cleaned out twice, different vehicles, city, job etc. its completely devastating to lose everything and have to start over

[@mitchbennett5576]

Thanks for the update. Keep up the good work and hang in there. If you get a patreon account going I'll support you.

[@Okurka.]

Fuck Patreon.

[@England91]

Okurka after the latest stunt they tried to pull I agree

[@stevearkwright]

Patreon overcharge in Europe and UK, sadly.

[@SyberPrepper]

Love your videos and appreciate the update. You have so much experience to share that a lot of us need to hear, technical and otherwise.

[@therocket81]

Thanks for the follow up! Best wishes for setting up a new base!

[@marmitt]

Wish you all the best!!! Keep the great and hard work!!! Thanks for everything!!! Cheers from Brazil!!!

[@PaloSouvannavong]

Thanks for your honesty & transparency! I love your videos they inspire me to master my craft in my day to day work!!! Keep pursuing your dreams, praying for you!!!

[@tylerkeeton17]

Keep it going! Love the work you do and the videos you put out when you can.

[@elitheelectronicsguy]

Thanks for the update! Best of luck in the new adventures.

[@revealsins2me]

[@mauricetomas]

Thank you for your videos, you are great to watch and learn from. You are a pro, clean neat work👍

[@jslat111]

Glad you are making videos again. I love your work!

[@swood20841]

I'm just getting into the trade and want to let you know your videos are not only a great wealth of information, but an invaluable insight to what it's like to actually "live" the job. Your honesty is what makes your channel so much more interesting than all the other tech ones. Sorry about all of the negative life events hitting at once, but as you say, these are things that you are doing to make your life better in the long run. Wish you the best and can't wait to see what you've got in store!

[@rebeccarainharrod]

Wow, hang in there! I love your videos, after finding your channel a few days ago I haven't been able to stop watching! Hope to see you back on the saddle real soon.

[@JohnHessGA]

Thanks for sharing man. 2017 was a rough year for me as well and it's nice to know I'm not alone. We'll all be here when you get ready to share some more wisdom!

[@ryguyver]

Wow, thank you for sharing with us. You've been though a lot! Keep focusing on the positives as they will get you though. Amazing to see all the support on here. There are so many good people that appreciate what you do and who you've inspired. Looking forward to seeing more of you soon!!

[@Holdeenio]

Thank you for sharing. I miss your content and tips and tricks. It sounds like you've had a really tough tkme; thinking of you!

[@blenheimfire]

Keep going man! Love the channel and your willingness to wake up and do it all over again.

[@Mariano.Bernacki]

Glad you're good. Focus on getting fully on your feet. We'll be waiting for your wisdom. Thanks for doing these videos. It really is appreciated

[@MichaelRaymondHOME]

Thank you for letting us know what has been going on with you. I really appreciate and look forward to your sharing of your world in networking. I have been in IT for over 28 years now and never get tired of seeing someone else take such an interest in his jobs like you do. Thank you

[@chrisoftceo]

Thanks for sharing 👍🏻 Life is tough and you seem to be the type of guy who can push thru. Hang in there, your videos are awesome

[@erosario64]

I appreciate all all that you have taught me and you can count on me to help.

[@babylonandy]

Completly understand. Make sure you take time for yourself, to heal mentally and physically. It's ok to be human like the rest of us. We all have problems. Thank you for the videos you make. I have shown several to my team of IT techs and they have learned a GREAT deal from your wisdom and experience in the field. I would definitely donate to your cause!

[@greatevil-one-too]

So nice to see a new post!

[@markschofield576]

Keep going! I've learnt all I needed to know to get my property networked thanks to you, every cable without a problem! Also I learned what a "bear claw" is, came in real handy at the local quiz night, I was the only person who got the question right! Got to try one of those one day, good luck.

[@momusau642]

You’re doing good work man! Keep it up! And thanks for keeping us in the loop

[@chrispistocco]

Love your channel! Keep your head up, things will always get better

[@dtec30]

[@fourtwozero]

Great to see a new video from you! Man.. when it rains it pours! 2017 was the worst year of my life. Let's hope 2018 is better for the both of us!

[@T_Quik]

Glad to see another video from ya! Truly hope things get better.

[@lonewolfgeoff]

glad your still out there! i was getting worried! jeezz your having a bad time with stuff, but its great to see you bounced back and are still fighting on! keep going mate, your a great ninjatuber 😊 we are with you, your an inspiration to us all!

[@ZanMS]

Thanks for taking the time to give up an update. Sounds like you've had a really rough few months, and I hope it gets better for you as we move into the new year.

[@TimArney-oh7dz]

Just found your channel. I find it very intuitive and informative. And interesting that it is hard to find someone that cares about their work as well.

[@Pointern]

I love what you do and its makes me curius everytime i see your videos.. Sad to hear about ur ruff bumps in life but you find the way through it soon i hope ! Keep up the good work ! Love all the way from Norway !

[@jix177]

Sorry to hear about your bad run of luck, not deserved. Your videos are excellent as you are a great communicator and teacher so I'm sure you can get things turned around. Looking forward to more great content. Look after yourself.

[@PrivateTech35]

Keep doing what your doing . Love your work.

[@lepsycho3691]

I'm rarely a fan if ever, but I'm definetly inspired by what you do and I would dare say that I'm a fan of your work. I've been enjoying your content and I've been looking up to you the past year that I've discover your channel. The fact that you've been struggling in your personal and professionnal life, makes me realise that you never know what goes on behind the scene and that everybody struggles. Thank you for sharing, thank you for being candid. Wish you the best.

[@aaronj.9779]

I love your videos! Thank you!

[@patstevens7159]

Keep on truckin' brother. Wishing you all the best.

[@remcojansen5923]

Good luck man, love the channel!

[@firsl9467]

All the best to you buddy!

[@MetalMeek]

Wishing you ALL the best for your future. I found myself an entry-level IT gig with no prior experience a couple months ago, and your videos have been super helpful to me. So before anything else, THANK YOU! I can relate to a great deal of what you talked about here, particularly the "act" bit. Trust me, I get it, and I'm excited for you and your future. Not to say the current situation is good, but I have 0% doubt you're going to come out in a better, happier place than you were. Get that Patreon up. I'm in.

[@143HawkBlack]

I love your videos and what you do even though at the moment it's not going to well for you. please keep up the excellent work and I think everyone subscribed to you can understand your troubles. Thanks!

[@arm714]

Glad to see you back!

[@RudyRudolph]

so good to see you back!

[@icemann310]

Happy to hear for you, crazy shit you are going through, hope all works out for yah. Once everything is back on track I am looking forward to the new videos. Till then see ya.

[@julianwildauer]

Thank you and good luck!

[@Vintermark83]

I really like your content and just love the parts where you reason about your design/cabling decisions. Although I'm from the far side of the Atlantic (Sweden), I can appreciate some of the unique challanges you have as an network technician i N. America, some of them that really isn't a problem here and some that we really struggle with, but allover it's quite similar. Similar in way that core fundamentals and values you discuss can be applied even in my work here in Sweden. And it's really refreshing to see a different view and optional problem solving techniques. What I'm trying to say is that I'm learning and thats worth gold! Keep up the good work and the best of luck!

[@SuperSasori9]

Love you videos bud. Keep up the good work!

[@jaredflitt5670]

I am so glad you are back. If it were not for you I would have never started working on our home network and improving it. To be honest, I had runs with no service loops and ended up re-doing them because I realized when we put in a server cabinet that I did not have enough slack (something so minor that I would have never thought to leave when installing the new lines). I always think about the next technicain or person that has to come in after me because you changed the way I thought! Thank you Fiber Ninja!

[@Robertobagnato]

Really happy to see you again . Love your vids, they are probably the best for networking wiring . Keep up man :)

[@jonathanbignall1198]

Sorry to hear you're going through some tough times. I've been through some similar stuff and it's been difficult but with the right help it does get easier, you've got some good friends who are standing by you. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I've learned some useful tips and tricks from your videos, I hope you'll be able to continue those when you get through the tricky patch. Look after yourself and keep up the good work.

[@jonathankovacs1809]

Doing the job you do is hard work I appreciate your videos..

[@zach3664]

I'm glad that you are doing well, as well as you can see the path ahead and that you just have to trudge on. Your content like always is awesome, can't wait for the new content. Also I believe the patron wouldn't be a bad idea either.

[@mikefish76]

I agree with previous posts. Get that Patreon going. What you do is greatly appreciated and admired. I’ve learned a lot and tremendously enjoyed all your videos.

[@emtffzartman666]

Good to see you’re doing ok. Sounds like times have been rough, but hang in there. I love your content and look forward to the future and some of these experiments you are talking of.

[@davidsteckley8846]

I just found your channel. Absolutely love learning, this stuff has always been a hobby for me. As far as life, well life unfortunately have to have speed bumps, it sucks, but speed bumps are designed to make us slow down. I wish you the best,

[@mcj30164]

Best of luck getting through these difficult times man! don't overstrech yourself, the true fans understand and can wait a little longer for the next vid! Still keep up the awesome work, your vids are very informative and fun to watch

[@casualsix]

Brother , keep your chin up!! Times can be really hard but one thing is they do get better. Your vids inspire us all, and you will pull out of this short term low Im sure.

[@666neoselen]

thanks for sticking with us, in fact. i hope you the best :)

[@lightone04]

keep on keeping on man, good to see you again.

[@mikemcdonald5147]

man brother I wish you well I know when it hits you it hits you all at once. I know the feeling. Know that you are not alone and please keep in touch. We love your videos and want to stay informed. Keep pumping out videos as I think its therapeutic for you to do so. Things will get better trust me it just takes time. Know that your youtube community is behind you.

[@fixedwheel]

Good to see you back. Hang in there, and it'll come good for you, because you deserve it.

[@nickharvey5149]

I'm so sorry you've been having a tough time of it. As one of our late Kings (I think) once said: Keep on buggering on!

[@dangruner5926]

I can identify with everything here dude. Last year was hell for me also and I wonder how I am still here at times. Support from family and friends has been the key, along with my love of learning and working. This year I feel a lot more positive having made some difficult decisions last year, but it is paying off. Sometimes you have just gotta be selfish and think of number one... Take care :)

[@Delta-gh9rl]

You are an awesome networking creator, so it's high time you got PayPal and Patreon accounts to receive donations. I have learned more with your videos than with any other teacher. You got knowledge, experience and now you are teaching us so well. thanks Fiberninja.

[@AnthonyQuinnJr]

So so glad to get an update and I really appreciate it. Your videos are really the only thing I enjoy watching on KZbin now. Let us know when you get your Patreon setup; would be more than happy to be a monthly sponsor. Take care sir.

[@thenextstepp]

I've been here for a while and don't plan on going anywhere man. Keep your chin up and everything will work itself out one way or another.

[@Ashworth-Media]

Hey mate, only just seen this video, I hope that everything worked out in the end as you are a great person.

[@MrUnderScore81162]

"just undo it" Brilliant!!

[@nike12000haha]

That sucks to hear man I hope things level out for ya soon!

[@nickharvey5149]

Oh, and for any potential employers/clients out there, this chap is the ultimate perfectionist. I can think of no higher praise.

[@1963amoreno]

great job I hope things get better, sometimes life is like fixing cable it will look bad at first until you fix it all up and then it will look better good luck enjoy watching your videos

[@str33tb1k3r]

You have a strong Community here! Stay strong!

[@narkeddiver7325]

Everything will be all right in the end - if everything is not all right then it’s not the end Keep trucking - your videos are very much appreciated

[@markito0317]

I love your videos. Keep it up.

[@Iminicus]

Welcome back. You have been missed and I really wanted to come help you.

[@redpurple1035]

i love your videos. keep it coming.

[@robccrowell]

Your videos are great!

[@barrekroberts]

Hang in there!

[@oveerkul]

Maybe not a patreon solution, but you could as the viewers to fundraise a little gear - Believe it or not, but you produce quality content worthy of support.

[@ukpm]

I'd also support you on Patreon. You've got the right attitude and you'll get you're life put back together. Good luck man!

[@monnky666]

Animo mi amigo, mucha suerte este 2018, excelente trabajo el que realizas.

[@madpanda214]

Keep up the good work man!

[@Maxt3r1]

Good to see you back :)

[@Finns-Projects]

dam. hope things will go the right way now. but as others are saying setup some solution for being backed up. i really love your videos. the way to explain things. and how to do it the RIGHT way. and safe way.

[@tatuyakonisi4553]

Man, what i can say, life is not so easy sometime, but i think life is not only filled with tough time, so overcome the difficulties. I saw your video, but tell the truth, I cannot give you money, no help for your work, but you know I respect you, respect your work, it's called skill and technology. So please take care yourself and make you happy and go forward, I think sometime people need a little luck, but not only luck, so I think and I trust you can fix them totally. Keep smile on your face, and someday you can out of the current situation. Wish you good luck in a brand new year. I would like to stay with you.

[@Verknaller]

We'll stick with you. Keep on going and you'll figure this out.

[@orionfl79]

Glad to see you're back! Hang in there dude. Life seems to have i'ts up and downs and loopy bits but eventually it all evens out. ^_^

[@dave9902]

So happy you're back! Just remember it's not how you start! It's how you finish!

[@TheWizechatmgr]

Great videos. Keep pulling that cable :)

[@robertpurvis6106]

i just discovered your videos and i can relate on most of what you are going through. i became a low voltage contractor in southern california 3 yrs ago after 15 yrs of various technician jobs. it's tough as nails out here to keep this business above water. i feel like the red headed step child on big structure cabling jobs because i'm hired by the client 99% of the time. other trades and the GC most of the time don't care about you. about all the super says is don't mess up my ceiling tiles. the sparkies are usually cool with me and help out because we work in tandem some what. not to mention i'm always hired on the 11th hr. always in a rush to install hundreds of cables at the last minute. don't make a whole lot because it just goes back into the business but i still take pride in what i do. it's what i know and it looks and works well. so far each year does a little more than the last. please keep up the vids. the few moments i have to watch i learn something new each time either from the first time you do it right or how you adapt to a mistake. best of luck and i hope 2018 has gone well. i'll have to catch up on vids to see for myself.

[@greenzreprezentah6183]

I am just stumbling on this channel a couple weeks ago. Priceless content my brother. I noticed you haven't posted new content 2 years now. Hope all is well in whatever chapter of your life you are in now.

[@bills5271]

I've enjoyed your videos. Sorry to hear about all the stuff you have been through, into each life a little rain must fall, but it seems like you got hit by a hurricane. Hold you head up and keep on trucking like a buddy of mine told me when I went thru my divorce.

[@superdyret]

Thanks for sharing. I`ve watched all your videos. Hang in there, your videos are awesome :) good luck in the future, regards Rune H from Denmark

[@pigboiii]

Jesus man thats a bit of a rough deal you got. Hope you get back on your feet man. Looking forward to the new vids. Good luck!

[@JamesLawsonSmith]

Man I thought I had a bad year. Keep up the videos and set up a patreon for sure. I have been in the network game for a number of years and have learnt a lot from your videos.

[@geofftaylor8913]

Keep on keeping on

[@theryanwitski]

He is baaaaaack!
