8 Steps to Drastically Improve Your Life Guaranteed plus a Trick Bolt!

I guarantee if you follow those 8 steps your life will improve!

[@wesmeisberger5736]

Absolutely agree with your 8 things in life. I especially agree with turning off the news. I did that about 4 or 5 years ago and have never regretted it! Thanks Scout

[@foxwood67]

Good advice. That rabbit with the cookies had me rolling. Funny AF

[@peterw2845]

Great video scout! I’ve said since I first saw you years ago , everyone needs a scoutcrafter in their life , you’re a top bloke and wish I had one like you in my life .. it’s what is missing in the modern world … wish you a happy and healthy ‘22 👌👍

[@chriscapobianco9763]

Great 8 advise!!!!!! I have a lot of hobbies and its always great to see a fellow New Yorker who stays positive! Keep the up the great work!! and thank you!

[@13thworker45]

John when you learn to except yourself for who you are, happiness follows. This happened for me in my early forty’s. For me it was crucial. I probably have to many hobbies. My favorite hobby is tied between tool restoration and fishing. I keep a container of pretzels for a snack in the shop. No fat in them. I always look forward to what you are sharing on your channel. Thank You

[@warrengruenhagen4447]

I liked your post for Monday and I do try to do what you said, but some of it is really hard. You see, I had a stroke 4years ago and now many things a normal person can do are not an option for me. I still watch your channel and look forward to it. My stroke affected my left side which is hard for me because I was very active and happy before it happened Please keep up the good work!

[@davidstansbury3204]

First time I’ve seen you, won’t be the last. Great life advice. Thanks for your time and knowledge

[@DirtandRust]

Our Best Tool in the arsenal ...the body...good stuff Scout!!

[@joeheilm]

That was excellent! That comment about being happy as being an active thing really makes sense....never thought about it that way. You never fail to amaze. Cheers

[@guataco]

I never told you that I am a psychiatrist and your eight advices are right on point. My respect again. The best of this year to you. Nice job with the trick bolt.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Juan! You have such a difficult but needed job... God bless you my friend!

[@jpsimon206]

I'm only 45 seconds in and I wanted to thank you. I have often asked questions about your philosophy, you seem very at ease in the world. You don't seem to suffer from loneliness or depression like many do. I for one have wondered what your secret is for years! Very pleased to hear the subject of the video, I'm not young, but I will be taking notes.

[@ScoutCrafter]

😃👍. Thanks JP!

[@JourneymanRandy]

Good advise John. Especially 8 8 and 8. We all work too much. More play.

[@MrGoosePit]

Sage advice John. Love the trick bolt!

[@John..18]

Some wise tips there,,, !! Boy, do I wish I had a "proper" workshop,, 😀,, I'd get me a lathe, and a Dake, ha ha ha.. All the very best for 2022,,, 🥳🎊🎉

[@KUGW]

I love this channel, down to earth dude who seems to be loving life, I like the puzzle, the advice and especially the tools... I want to try one of your challenges for my KZbin channel.... awesome stuff

[@bigvicsworkshop]

Absolutely Fantastic way to kick off the new year! Enjoyed this Mr. John! You know though....its a never ending search for me to find foods that my body doesn't agree with..haha 🤠👍

[@805ROADKING]

Great advice Sensei!! The proof is in the Puddin'!!☻

[@philparker1666]

Thanks John, definitely the best video this year, great surprise as my son and I are moving and I completely forgot what day it was! Starting to use more of your advice in my life my friend, thank you as always 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇬🇧

[@alexstools]

What a great video to start the year with. I need to work on exercise (stretching) and the vitamins, all the others I seems to be on my way. I'm one week completely news free now, even "alternative" news free (got the regular stuff out of my system before). It's a really nice break and I'm going to continue it hopefully. Some way or another.

[@wayneo7307]

Hi Scout , Good List . I've Been News Free For A Long Time ! I Have Many Hobbies. And try To Have Fun Everyday . I Do Take A Multi Vitamin Daily As well. Cool Bolt . Have A Great Year !

[@mantaship]

What a great way start '22. Thanks Scout.

[@jeffsalt2080]

Absolute truth! I drove by a gym today. Does that count?

[@mrbenmall]

I agree with your list and (mostly) follow it. Great fun with the lathe!

[@lewiemcneely9143]

Mostly is close enough.

[@ika5663]

What a great video. Thanks for the words of wisdom.

[@jpsimon206]

I'm a sucker for these little table top puzzles as well. I have not seen that one before, it's a great one!

[@melkc345]

Add being a life coach to your resume. The trick bolt was fun. Great start to the new year. Jim

[@nicknicoletti9778]

Cool puzzle for sure. Happy new year!! My granddaughter was just born at 3:39 today. So Our family is very happy. And your right about hobbies. I have a few. And it’s what gets you off your couch. The longer you lay around. The more tired and sick you’ll feel. Great video! Very good info

[@ScoutCrafter]

Congratulations Nick! 😃👍

[@michaelcosta879]

Good advice, I like your trick bolt. You tricky devil. Happy New Year

[@rickcentore2801]

Excellent advice!

[@kathieharine5982]

Excellent advice

[@Rusty_ok]

I take the same vitamins. Love them gummies. All your points are spot on. Exercise and stretch are so important when you se and older person shuffling when walking they did not exercise and stretch when they were young. Every morning when you get out of bed you can mentally chose to be happy.

[@johnfix1]

Great advise from a life coach. I jest.... It is wonderful advise that I wish I had and followed as a youngster. Fortunately I got it through life experience so it took a lot longer to achieve. I am passing your steps along to my grandkids.

[@glengrossnickle4985]

Love all eight. I have trouble with the no news. My wife can't live without it. But I have figured ways around it. You are so right ever since I quit the news things that used to bother me don't any more. The trick bolt was was fun to watch how you did it. Stay safe and healthy my friend. Thanks

[@Ricopolico]

Gotta have all my loved ones watch the first half of this video, WHETHER THEY WANT TO OR NOT. Thanks big time, Scout! Happy New Year!

[@joseffroula7415]

Thanks for the advice, John. Very helpful. I have a lot of uses for a lathe but have never used one. Would you consider offering a newbie guide to the lathe. Really loved the 1x30 newbie guide. No pressure.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Josef I think that’s a marvelous idea! 😃👍

[@altonriggs2352]

Great stuff..hard to do but have to try. Have a great 2022.

[@AndyB1968]

Excellent project, how cool is that ? Those eight things in life are very true, been telling my kids and younger co workers this for some years now.

[@62forged]

Great advice for the New Year. I haven't watched the news in years.

[@bobjoncas2814]

...Doc Scout to the rescue, good advice. keep safe..

[@krishoogstraat6866]

Great tips. You did a fantastic job making that trick bolt! Nice job !

[@archived_turkeys6487]

I discovered, and have lived by Rule #1, on my own - even before discovering your channel. It has helped me a lot.

[@toolscarriagesmodellbauand7246]

Your video is a great start for the rest of our lives, John. You'r absolutely right with all of your 8 steps.

[@tony1721]

I do nearly all that …surrounding myself with positive people is very very important to men….awesome advice 🇬🇧

[@gimble1]

Awesome advice... I'm actually going to share it with my kids!

John, Thanks for the 8 steps. You make us happy at least 3 times a week. Sometimes more. We even watch you outside in the sun! Stay well . Be Happy. Judith and Allan

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Great life tips John. Love the project.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

The 8 steps are great and seems like the goofier you are the better they work. You did a fine job on the bolt and I guess keeping my stuff running is my hobby since I am too blasted geezerish for the road but maybe a machine once in a while. Limited amount of zip and always on the low side but today wasn't the last day. Maybe tomorrow won't be either but I got to get there to see! Thanks, Buddy and GBWYou!

[@stevef8993]

Very wise words John! I definitely need to work on a few of those, lol. Great job on the trick bolt. I love puzzles like those.👍

[@rushley5813]

Pushing 40 myself and I'm at about 6 of 8 of those life lessons I got lucky and met a few older gents around my mid 20s who impressed upon me those same things I'd suggest mental stretching as well as physical stretching strong mind strong body

[@patjohnson3100]

Great tips for life, and a fun project to start the new year. Thanks.

[@lordvengerx]

What a great episode! That list of 8 things is really great. I'm going to try that out. I already have number 1 down solid. Lol I learned that as soon as I started watching the channel all those years ago 😂

[@isabellaandsophia7527]

Love it - I would add respect others and cherish the environment

[@andrewcollins7783]

Nice 8 commandments John. I need to start doing number 1. The 7 other ones I live by, or try to!

[@joemoach832]

Great video to start off the new year and great advice as well. I figured out number 1 a long time ago, but it's difficult when you are married to a news junkie. Being retired also makes it a lot easier to achieve balance

[@lotsabirds]

Happy New Year! Great video and Excellent Advice! Finally, that's a neat little toy!! And...Hobbies are even more worthwhile than most people can imagine!! Have fun!

[@jeffreyyeater1780]

Everything on your list is correct ... exercise and HOBBY, especially . Great advise .

All sound advice John. Happy New Year to you!

Thank you John.

[@carldelawter8900]

Haven't followed the national news for a long while. Local only for select items. Like road construction , Hurricane season. Events, recalls, etc. Philosophy of thee 8ths is great. I ❤ all kinds of puzzles. 😍 Never came across that one before. I'm gonna try it. Got anymore puzzles? I have . . . Uh??. . .well, let's says a whole bunch of-em.

[@jackthompson2132]

That’s some really good advice John. Sounds like your dad had it all together 😃. Loved the puzzle too. Thank You

[@marshville01]

Just a suggestion. Put left hand threads on screw to make it more challenging to solve.

[@larryborkstrom3580]

Lots of great advice and I remember 😀 messing with a trick bolt for the first time how frustrating it was intill someone showed me how to do it

[@aquariumaquarium8080]

Great advice but what you should do to improve your channel and as a new year resolution is to make your videos longer to enjoy!!

[@357magdad]

I got 7 out of 8. I gotta watch the news - I love a good dumpster fire!

[@paulsworkshop4179]

That was a really cool trick bolt!

[@not2fast4u2c]

I remember my Grandpa giving my oldest brother some Chinese wire puzzles I was only around 5 years old and figured them out Later I found out he was testing us to see how smart we were

[@azaleaoutdoors8109]

My favorite video of the year so far!

[@rawbacon]

It's amusing how people go their whole life and can't seem to understand that if a certain food doesn't agree with them that they need to stay away from it..........When I was working in the Structural Steel Business I looked like Lou Ferrigno from wrestling that steel all day but I still needed that Cardio Boost so I'd run up and down a flight of stairs 100 times a day, 1200 steps up, 1200 steps down, that'll get your heart pumping.........I actually have a Sunbox Light in my workshop.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Some of the guys who were stationed on submarines for long periods of time would sit in a special UV room! 😃👍

[@johnf2379]

Great advice and love the work on the lathe. If you’re looking for another project on the lathe, I’d love to see you make a flashlight out of a piece of aluminum.

[@ScoutCrafter]

😃👍

[@Reggyontheroad]

Fantastic , I will try to make a Reggy version for you.

[@jeffkoch8678]

Good points to live by.

[@zipshed]

Thats heavy man! Good advice to live by from our generation. I graduated in 81...you?

[@ScoutCrafter]

80! 😃👍

[@stephenstrohacker7863]

You two graduated while I was in Middle/Jr High School. Class of 86 here. I've got to add #9 on the list. #9 Gravity is getting stronger for everyone. Think about it, who says it gets less pull? Everyone I know agrees its a whole lot easier to get too the ground and harder to get off the ground. If everyone agrees, gravity must be getting stronger, Right? LOL. Seriously I haven't watched the news on purpose for maybe 20 years. After all it is NOT NEWS its HISTORY RIGHT? Huey Lewis said it right with it all being "Dirty Laundry."

[@corymcgrath5652]

Excellent job on that bolt. I refuse to pay attention to the news as well. Apocalyptic, negative and divisive.

[@candiearntz4848]

Scout I just looked one of your videos for a stanley hex a matic

[@ScoutCrafter]

Candie I just went back and rewatched that video and two things came to me. First I miss my trees! and Second- That was a pretty good video if I do say so myself! LOL Hope you enjoyed it too!!!! Thanks!

[@lotsatrains]

That’s so cool I like those puzzles but mostly they beat the heck out of me 😂 but beautifully executed as usual and great first of the year video so true about getting a hobby I used to work with a couple of miserable people and guess what? No hobbies they didn’t do a thing 😆

[@shopcatt643]

All good stuff. My life has been so much better since working less, no more than 40 hr/week.

Hey señor Juan, you forgot the most important thing to do to make you life happy: to like Mexican food or even better, to like all Mexicans. Saludos desde México.

[@ricksolari9570]

I have a ninth tip: Simplify, simplify.

[@stephenbridges2791]

I haven't watched a news program since the early 80's. What the networks pass off as news hasn't been that for several decades. Talking heads is all they are. They, not you; decide what is worth knowing. No thanks!

[@jway5580]

Good advice to live by. But I would like to comment on the vitamin D advice. As a pharmacist, I would caution on vitamin D. Although it is rare, vitamin D toxicity is possible. People will think if 1 is good, 2 is better. Thus, I would suggest if anyone is considering taking a vitamin D supplement, or any other supplement, consult with your doctor or pharmacist.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Actually 2 is better! 😃 The average dose of Vitamin D is 600 IU and the studies have shown that you can take 5 times that with no negative side effects. More and more Doctors are suggesting vitamin D supplementation these days and they aren’t suggesting 600 IU- Much higher. In 2018 a study was done and concluded about 42% of adults are Vitamin D deficient... Those were pre pandemic numbers, they think that number could have easily doubled over the last 18 months. The problem here isn’t taking too much it’s not taking enough! 😃👍
