I like to imagine that that one kid in the beginning who recognized Willjum actually had no idea it was him, he just runs up to to everyone at the start of wipe screaming WILLJUM hoping to get lucky.

[@poisonpen37]

The "drucilla" name is a Willjum calling card at this point.

[@VishalKumar-xu3bv]

maybe he recognised the name drucilla from soo many vids...

[@OccasusRaven]

@Nick Pierson he did know it was Willjum because that "drucilla" game name some idiot have been using it already so many videos

[@ImIsaac]

He streamed this I'm pretty sure, so probably a stream sniper

[@stbk51]

That kid is British therefore autistic so please stop making fun of him

[@Willjum]

A return to the classic, nostalgic solo series, where it all began. I hope you guys enjoy and thank you so much for 950k. 1 Mill soon!!!!

[@albionranger3563]

1m soon 🎉 enjoy your content dude!

[@devil-0162]

Hi

[@wdblakea]

Can i play a wipe with u

[@amitgg2777]

hey and w Willjum

[@geothedonut9264]

1 MILION WE COMINGGGGG

[@revarinhighwind6720]

I missed this solo gameplay so much. Calm music, chill vibes, Willjum almost unable to talk cause he is giggling so much and just having a grand time. This is what I was hoping for.

[@BryantVonMiller]

Heya Revarin! Love the pfp!

[@leafytheleafeon4401]

Ah, the classic series that gives the best type of feeling. A base that is built in your contradiction, the most amount of rugs possible, and a cozy, yet exciting soundtrack.

[@mrstoleurdog3873]

I agree 😊

[@johnny_wrench]

You know, I'm a relatively new Willjum subscriber (less than 6 months) and I think the thing that draws me in, every single time, is the chill atmosphere and the music. Definitely the music. Much love man! Definitely top tier content!

[@mossy237]

Me too, im a new subscriber and I enjoy the music and just the chill vibes.

[@_sandy_]

agree! but, what was the music at 4:55 ish?? it really annoys me when specific song names and timestamps arent included in the description :/ i want this great music for my own list lol

[@nanoboi101]

For me it's more of his chill behaviour but the music is nice also I don't even play rust haha

[@mossy237]

@@_sandy_ I agree! How am I supposed to enjoy music without knowing the music

[@Muultipy]

Almost at 1m,it has been a long grind and a great journey!Keep up the amazing work Willjum!😃

[@gunchbandit4422]

Long grind? Wiljum has exploded. There's nothing "long" about it.

[@_sandy_]

@@gunchbandit4422 i mean, it has been quite a few years, "long" is subjective. maybe not as long as some other content creators, but a few years can be long :) keep in mind, he's been doing uni through all of this! plus, all the other irl stuff you don't get to see of creators lives

[@ramasatria5826]

​@@gunchbandit4422 you like dickriding don't you

[@yessir2197]

Legend has it the guy in the beginning is still looking for his cloth

[@CosmicWheat]

I remember willjum only having 40k subs 2 years ago, I'm so happy for his major improvement that now he's almost 1 million subs! Keep grinding man!!

[@blazedjord]

A Willjum upload is like the final piece to a cozy weekend

[@t-cup-man938]

It’s always nice when Willjum gets back to the basics and roots with rust gameplay that’s usually fast and action packed in other creators vids, to goofy chill and a sprinkle of pvp here and there that I can sleep to. great work keep it up

[@tjrex9458]

Thats so true, i miss playing rust in 2017 with the homies, farming, waiting for the 3 furnaces to melt enough sulfur for a raid, and then to wait for the dudes to get online from school to raid. Aw man, i wish more streamers/youtubers would show us more behind the scenes in rust, rather than 75% heavy PvP , 20% raid, 5% rig/cargo montages.

[@t-cup-man938]

Honestly ever since combat update I see lack of story and actual just bang bang guy dead big loot. 20 percent of the game is pvp the rest is very important to the experience. The issue with mainstream creators is that they show mostly pvp and Maybe a montage of farming, this takes away our feeling and love for rust because we’ve seen pvp for so many years that rust feels like cod now with just shooting and never farming player interaction etc etc

[@tjrex9458]

@@t-cup-man938 Exactly, but not only are we tired of seeing pvp, we're tired ofot ever seeing non mainstream monuments being done, it feels boring af seeing every single rust youtuber do rig, rig, rig and only rig, like, where MTunnels? WTPlant? TrainYard? Even Launchsite or Dish who barely barely EVER got looted (atleast when i used to play, which last time was in 2021's quarentine). I feel like im missing the game's fullest potencial by simply seeing the same thing over and over again, for the 1000th time, "Oooh my best wipe, im gonna go to LRig after only 2 hours of wipe... oh guys look, cargo is out bla bla bla" like damn, wheres the rest? Chinook crates even exist anymore? Helloooo?

[@toadlord6688]

It's so amazing to watch your genius brainstorming come to its fruition as you build, my friend. Glad you were able to get that bunker to work out. Looking forward to part 2!!

[@slickittenounounoun]

This felt like a classic adventure. I enjoyed the farming and silly shenanigans. Wholesome and calm, the willjum vibe.

[@tomyurkovic]

You have earned each and every subscriber you have. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we appreciate how much time and effort you put into your videos.

[@WolfHreda]

Fun little interaction I've found being a fisherman/diver myself for so long: stay barefoot and have all your armor/clothing slots full (the classic Willjum semi-prim fit works perfectly), keep your bandana in the slot closest to your inventory and put your flippers in your hotbar. When you jump in the water, hit the flippers and they'll swap out your bandana, leaving it in the same place on the hotbar. When you jump out of the water, hit the bandana and the same thing happens in reverse.

[@Nurofaen]

You encapsulate the Rust experience for many players and that's what makes you special. As much as I enjoy PvP, people sometimes like to watch a playthrough they would do themselves. Few wins, few losses, celebrate the small stuff like realising you can bunker a random start base etc. When I feel like playing Rust, but don't feel like committing a day+ to a wipe, I'm glad I have your videos.

[@kmavz]

I don't even play Rust but watching you is one of the most relaxing thing to do when I am stressed. Thanks man!

[@michaelshirel9958]

As a long time viewer it hit me deep when you showed appreciation to us, as a viewer we appreciate you willjum!

[@cooperbienfang3601]

There's something about willjum that just makes solo rust feel so pure. Always excited for content as soon as it comes out. love ya wil keep up the work.

[@johnerixon-ux4zg]

I always enjoy the first parts of your rust adventures the most, the primfighting, the grind and the spectacular close calls.

[@ferrik19]

30 seconds in and I can already tell this is a certified blooprint classic

[@MysticArbitrarilyATMG]

Another Day, Another Willjum Classic! ❤

[@Griggles]

Saturday afternoon, sitting on the couch eating Chick-Fil-A, and a fresh Willjum video. Best Feeling Ever.

[@HeyitsTanTan]

Always love the videos Willjum! keep up the great work.

[@Sirfireplayz]

What a nice day to have a willjums video to chill with

[@uhhhdiction4253]

Always love the content willy! Solo or with a team, it's always chill and a great watch. Thank you for all your hard work, and most important consistency

[@Gold3n_18]

YES I WATCHED YOU PLAY THIS ON TWITCH, GREAT VIDEO ! ❤

[@simascnop8033]

I never played Rust, just don't have enough time to spend one or more days into a game. But I like your videos a lot! It is so chilling to watch you play and till now I caught so many very nice background songs! I like that one at the end at 46:44 :D

[@MiEDoll]

Not sure if you were wondering but the song is called, Blood Red Sun - Lay Me in the Ocean.

[@thiccsquid2739]

do you possibly know the name of the one at 43:00?

[@MiEDoll]

@@thiccsquid2739 Nope, sorry. If you figure it out can you let me know?

Rust videos are honestly better when u never play it, watching them die gives me ptsd

[@ezequielstreuli-ks1oi]

I love ur vids Willy. So fun and always makes me smile. Keep it up👌👌

4 MINUTES AGO! ON SATURDAY! Best day ever! Willjum you brighten my day bro! I love watching you! You bring the joy from the game I can no longer have since I quit. Thank you man🎉

At 29:50 when he said "back where i belong with a rod in my hands" I almost choked on my soda

I love how every willjum video feels like a whole new adventure with a certain nostalgia they never get old

Watched this 0 times and can confirm that this is a certified spoonkid classic

🥱

[@devil-0162]

No this is not spoonkid

[@NVRanger995]

I know you'll probably never see this but i just started watchin your channel and i could never find the continued episodes in stories and just noticed in your channel you playlist your videos according to the story and i absolutely love that. thank you!

[@moyaaerynsun]

I love your unique base locations and builds. Thx :) *and the views !

[@YoungCub]

13:37 time stamp is perfect. Dude had craziest movies I’ve ever seen in a vid

[@YoungCub]

[@thenarrator9204]

You know, I love this very much. The excitement you exude throughout for just playing the game your own way is infectious while watching you. I can see why you're nearing 1 mil.

[@JaleDoris]

Love the chill solo play with the beat overlay. Nothing beats a classic.

[@jonathanmendez6307]

You actually had me on my toes with this, great video keep it up!

[@Naex__]

When watching older WJ videos one thing I realized is that he really improved his content all the way around but one thing remained quite similar, his storytelling. I say this as a good thing because to me it shows he had it nailed down from the very beginning.

[@ProGamer-qf5vh]

I’m looking forward to see chapter 2!! It was really fun watching your rust video

[@jaysonsanford7627]

Lay me in the ocean. Great song choice. I have found almost all the songs you use in your videos and added them to my Spotify. Quality taste 👌

[@docplays88]

21:08 I shared your excitement. I was literally giddy with you!

[@rbloodnovski]

watching you frost and bloo make me want to try playing again. great entertainment always.

Love the content will keep em coming 🙏🏻. Thanks brother.

you are a true inspiration! the calmness and chill you bring while playing the most infuriating game possible is refreshing beyond belief. Thank you SO much!

Nothing better than coming home from work and watch a fresh Willjum short

[@mr_ninj4918]

this video came out at the perfect time! I'm so glad, I was really bored and didn't know what to do, this is perfect timing!

I love the cauldron and box trick you showed few videos back. been using it to save space as a solo

[@jayjay1825]

10:30 bros lil mischievous laugh 💀💀💀

[@RangingMagic]

I'm watching this in 2024, I've had Rust for a couple years but never played it. Been inspired by your videos to actually give it a try and I have like 50 hours now. Haven't gotten too far into the game mechanically but am loving it. Can definitely see how people have thousands of hours lmao. Great stuff Willjum.

[@shaunburres2691]

We all love you wiljum keep making AMAZING content!! This video was AMAZING to watch!!!

[@reggiedowney7388]

Love the videos, always so cozy and relaxing. Im pretty sure the crate challenge only counts larger ones although I'm not 100% sure

[@Jeffythemoose-ny7zp]

I started watching this wipe on twitch but I’m going to watch it again because of how fun it was to watch!

[@Naz_eu]

Wlli j your one of my favourite solo players to watch. You actually make me happy and excited when your videos realise, because it’s so humble and wholesome vibes. It’s just such good vibes. Like as many hours as u have you still have the wholesome solo vibes being scared then taking risks. You are the best man. I think your a Chad and u do really well as a solo and then u get like how I think when I play solo not too greedy and shit ur the main man love you dude.

[@Human_marker]

The most part that i loved in this video is the cosy house and the beautiful music i feel a little nostalgic idk why

[@iminurfridge1320]

i honestly find your base building my favourite part of your videos ❤

It's been amazing being able to watch you grow from under 1k all the way up to *almost* 1 mil. I still remember all the low resolution, prim locked, game freezing before any fight and everything else. From the first stream to many after. I hope you prosper well and I look forward to 1mil!
