We sometimes think that taking time is a waste of time, but taking a break and taking a step back allows us to come back stronger and be even more productive! You made the right decision, for you, for your family ! Welcome back to business !

[@andyb7754]

Dusty, you need the time off to relax. As a retired auto mechanic and aircraft mechanic I'd take 2-3 week long vacations a year. Came back feeling better and ready to work hard (and plan for the next time off). I used to work long hours not for the overtime but the time off. It's the healthy thing to do. Take care and stay healthy. Thank you for your time and videos.

[@willbraswell4906]

So glad to hear you’re rested and recharged! I used to buy non-refundable vacation airplane tickets so it was sort of forced on me or I had the habit of cancelling vacations and working myself into a stupor. Now I realize that taking time off is not only enjoyable but therapeutic. But one thing remains constant…I start every weld with…get comfortable, do a dry run, and most importantly…fill and chill, then, and only then move and dab. Appreciate you more than you know!

Thank you so much for your time that you sacrifice to help all of us grow and be a better welder, provider, a father, and husbands, there is alot to learn from you for all of us more than just welding, your topic in this video is one that my wife and i talk about quite often so, thank you truly for this one.

[@JoseRivera-pq2ik]

This video is 6 months old. He's back to traveling the world again.😂 Thank you for the content and welding programs. A break and time with the family is always a good thing, welcome back.👍🏽

[@Shrubfan]

I’m so glad you were able to get away and spend time away from your business. It’s a healthy thing to do and I’m sure your family really appreciated it. When I signed up for one of your courses you responded and thanked me from Australia or your flight from on your way home. Hope you had a great time!

[@gregwilkins7649]

Glad you took the time to take a break and go on an incredible trip with your family Bro.

[@mikewoodford9003]

Good for you, I took 10 years off welding, and have come back a bit older, definitely wiser, and waaaay more efficient. Love your channel

[@charliehcrew1957]

Glad to hear that you are taking time to be with family and to get your stress under control. Everyone needs to do what you did.

[@coalblack]

Dusty I'm so proud of you for how far you've come on KZbin. Your the man!! It's nice to be separated from what you love occasionally, it always makes you more thankful. Your the man bro!!

[@PacificArcTigWelding]

Literally cannot do it without you my friend. I appreciate this comment to much. All the best to you bro and great to hear from you!

[@brianbender7438]

Wow, Dusty, excellent job. I sure know the feeling of pushing it hard because that is how I am. At one job, we used to put in 14-16 hours a day, 7 days a week for 3 months. Yikes. To paraphrase an old saying about machinery, here is a variation for us: “if you don’t schedule time for maintenance on your body, it will schedule if for you”. I have first hand experience of that. Good for you to recognize that before you just completely burned out. Thanks for being honest about it.

[@steffore1]

Great to hear you open up about what’s been going on in your life and I would agree with everything you say as I’ve been there just like you and you feel so much better for taking time out. Looking forward to more from you 👍🏽

[@AFFMotorsport]

An Aussie here, glad you enjoyed your time here, looks like you were just up the road from me. Life needs a balance.

Hello from Poland Dusty! You are very talented and lucky man! 👊 ✌️Peace "✌️

[@PacificArcTigWelding]

You're the best my friend. I appreciate you watching and great to hear from you!!

[@gregc1775]

Great to hear that you enjoyed Australia. Greg NSW Australia

[@bobfur3290]

Glad you saw the signs early enough. Your kids only grow up once, don't miss it !

[@moonshadowdrifting]

Good for you. That's a lot of your life you've spent on the business. And you've done it very well. Crazy!!!

[@nightheron714]

You make excellent points, Dusty. Spending some time away sounds like a terrific idea, and it seems to have been good for you. You're going a lot of great things, teaching people to weld, helping us identify and correct our mistakes. Very glad you took some time for you, it is well deserved.

[@skyboundaviation8865]

Good points well made. Need to make more time to work through your online training 😬 Thank you for the comms while you were on your travels, much appreciated 👍

[@ernestgary6812]

Keeping your spirit healthy is very important. Same old thing everyday just drains... its nice to find out that got away😅

[@PacificArcTigWelding]

Haha was happy to share, just needed the time to get away and enjoy first:) Thanks for your comment- great to hear from you! Hope you are well and all the best!

[@clyde8drive]

Dusty its so good to hear you were able to hit the reset button and get that quality time your family needs, and that includes you to them as much as them to you. Looked like an epic trip especially when you don't have time constraints and can really relax. More and more studies are coming out where breaks are a good thing and actually make the work much better than a grind and constant 7 day a week battle. We all appreciate the work you put into the videos and some probably don't know how much editing is done in a 10 min video. Continued success with the channel and the on line course. Buying my first dedicated TIG and going to take your course because of you. I like the way you teach and encourage. I rarely write comments, so count this as my random act !!!!! LOL.

[@havesomefreecandy]

I burned some stainless rod today on my race bike exhaust. It’s been a little bit but, well, it was like riding a bike. Glad you got some time off with the family, I bet your glad to not be standing on your head anymore ;)

[@tannerhughes6274]

Sounds to me like you’ve worked hard for some good “paid time off”. (Said in the best/positive way). And that not only did you work for that time off but you were also able to maximize it to its fullest, being able to enjoy it as much as possible. I really do think that’s awesome and congratulations on your amazing trip!!

[@Jotchwa]

Let’s goooo. Love your vids. A break from everything is always good on the mental

[@PacificArcTigWelding]

I appreciate it so much my friend. Means the world to hear from you, have a great weekend!!

[@andrewsandoval4137]

Great advice and example, we all need a break!

[@K-politic]

you did it the right way. planned it. well done

[@joell439]

👏👏👏👏 welcome home. Can’t wait to see what’s next 👍👍😎👍👍

[@omg-its-ry]

Glad to hear you had a great time in our beautiful country as someone who has burned out- pls don’t put yourself and family through it. You have an admin person, good. Outsource as much editing as possible. Look for other opportunities to outsource or delegate. Work out which tasks in your life are repetitive or low value and which tasks are high value for you or your brand. Outsource as much as you can. You might have less net income but you’ll have more time with your kids - something you can’t get back. Also, idk when I picked it but I’d assumed you rode. 😅

[@kevinstauffer9846]

Sometimes it’s nice to take a break from the 6010 sparks landing in your ear, ouch 😓. Love the videos

[@adambergendorff2702]

Thanks for the honesty

[@PacificArcTigWelding]

This was a fun one to make! I appreciate you checking it out my friend!

[@danshafer4979]

Breaks are a must, just to clear your head.

[@network_king]

I do I.T work i got first welder like 5 years ago and was kind of scared of welding. Got cheap used flux core unit to just make a few things, then ended up with two stick units, then got an Arccaptain TIG machine for a demo but had a hard time with it so doing TIG class at the college i work at. May even attempt either partial or eventally AWS level one cert, don't need but could be cool to have. I thought I would do computer stuff a lot more but I do for work and get home about all i want to do is surf online. I'd rather do things in the garage, house projects, bike, etc. Four years ago a few coworkers after many tries talked me into trying horse riding they really scared me but eventally decided to try it. Ended up liking and then wanting to learn to ride and take pictures, then moveing on to new challenges, been doing riding lessons if i can near once a week now. I found it a nice distraction from other things i was thinking about, and I feel like i'm learning more soft-skills and leadership type thinking and patience.

[@patricksalmon3494]

Merci Dusty

[@kaleb6206]

Darn you've been welding longer than I've been alive

[@DonnyBwelding1]

Respect and positive vibes brother

[@PacificArcTigWelding]

Thank you so much brother, same to you!

[@Osiris0925]

I know you have been a big advocate for Canaweld machines. Just curious why you hadn't gotten one of their bigger units?

[@Oldin909]

Dusty that's not good for the body or mind I know I did it 40 years and a lot of it away from home I missed so much. Take time for you self and family because life is so short I know I lost my wife after 38 year's and I wish now I would have been around a lot more.

[@cmjGemara]
