A LITTLE LIFE UPDATE

Short, sweet, and long overdue... for those that are curious.
I originally posted this to my OnlyFans subscribers, but thought it should live here too (with a few parts edited out lol). For the whole video and more of my exclusive content, follow me over there-- www.ethanhethcote.com/exclusive-content.
Take care of yourselves and each other.

If you're going to fix up the farm and house yourself, PLEASE start doing videos about that. I love to see a dream come to life

[@Brian-h3q]

Yes i love to see videos you fixing up the house, and farm. That would be relaxing and exciting to watch! hugs

[@jger419]

Ethan! So glad to see you back! And I hope you'll check in periodically -- every month, every week, if you want. You're thoughtful and interesting -- and now you have a farm, a real challenge. And a great little pup who makes all of us smile, I'm sure. Please keep us posted.

[@TheRandomView]

Hey Stranger! Happy to hear you've found a home. Adorable dog. I had no idea about your OnlyFans. I'm here because of you as a person. Wishing you all the happiness the universe has to offer! Live it well!

[@ranmar773]

Hi, Ethan - longtime follower here. I am so proud of you for buying the farm. It looks like a beautiful and peaceful setting, and I hope it works out for you. Loon is such a cute and bouncy girl - so much energy! Please keep us updated on the farm and your life. We love you and love your life updates. -- Randy

[@ehethcote]

Thanks for being here, Randy!

[@lestrangemd]

Such a nice serene encounter with you. This is the first time any of your videos has popped up in my feed. I love nature and being in the open countryside. I grew up on a small farm about 20 minutes from where I currently lived. When my mom passed a few years ago the farm was divided between we children. I inherited 17 acres of meadow and a small woodland. One of my brothers keeps the meadow part mowed for me. The joy I felt as a kid and still enjoy is when I'm alone just enjoying nature. I enjoy spending hours picking raspberries. I also love to learn and identify everything, the rocks, the flowers, the trees, the bugs, etc. I use an app on my phone to do some of that. I'd love to build a home there someday on the edge of the property. I want to keep as much of the property as just nature. I also love to garden. An actual farm is a lot of hard and busy work. There is always something to do, but the aesthetic rewards are off the chart. Good luck to you on this new adventure in your life.

[@ehethcote]

Thank you for sharing :) I know I got a lot of work ahead of myself, but the good news is I won’t be alone doing it:)

[@cardcaptordanimal]

It's nice to see your change from what you used to be and to see you being genuine now. LA and Mark were not a good thing for you

[@torquet49]

I have enjoyed your video messages since your college days in Indiana. And missed you when you decided to focus on OF. So nice to see you back here. Upstate NY is beautiful. I am in PA and get up to NY state frequently. May you new path bring you much pleasure and fulfillment.

[@DanielGarcia-os6qh]

Okay, first of all, this is the first time I have ever ver come across your account. I too would love to see your projects on your new home. I hope you enjoy the process. There are so many opportunities with land like that. So good luck. That puppy is so beautiful. Congratulations on that. Lastly, that sunset blew me away. Looking forward to more. Thank you.

[@stevenej9894]

So good to see you back! I love that you've moved back to your rural roots! Upstate NY is such a beautiful part of the world- I wish you all joy and happiness in your new life!

[@andrewvollo263]

Terrific to watch this update. Congratulations on the farm. I hope you have cows. The videos from back when you included the cows are some of the ones I think fondly of. Warmest wishes.

[@andrewgoesplaces]

Living the dream! Getting to connect with nature! FARM TOUR PLEASE! :)

[@markshelton5321]

So happy for you! In July, I made the big move from California to Asheville, North Carolina. Best thing I’ve done in a long time. Very content here. Hurricane and all…

[@andywillis3723]

Thank you for the update and looking forward to seeing more. Pets are such a great reminder of pure love and devotion. Best to you all.

[@norrv1763]

So glad to see you are doing well. It has been a long time but nice to get the update.

[@brianbunten3185]

Hi Ethan! Thanks for the update. What a beautiful place to land in this chapter. ! Thank you for sharing. I left Indiana decades ago and am enjoying the mountains in north western NC. Glad to see you making a jump a move. Go for it! Beautiful sunset you grabbed!

[@brodieashcroft]

I love to hear that you're doing well! You played a huge role in my own self-discovery. Seeing your 'Body Gold' music video for Oh Wonder inspired me to dive into media more, and eventually, I pursued it in university and even in my postgrad. I've been keeping up with your work for a long time. It's also really nice to see you reconnecting with your farming roots-something I’ve yet to find my way back to. Whether you believe it or not, your work has transformed perspectives, people and culture. Cheers

[@shawnkelley3695]

1000%...Ethan's work has transformed perspectives, people and culture.

[@allenweist4483]

North East Indiana update: Ethan there is now a men's only campground south of Fort Wayne near Peru now. Cole Porter would be pleased.

[@asutoss]

Ok, but that truck in the background!!!! daaamn! Congrats, bro! So happy for you. Enjoy this new step in your life - you deserve it!!

[@matheusrodriguesdasilva9749]

So glad you are back! I’ve been with you since the coming out video (don’t know how many years this is haha) and I just love to see how you are doing and how things have been for you. Please make more videos if you can, it would make a lot of us happy

[@ReasonQuest]

I'm so happy to see you again. I'm not in to farming, but I love the outdoors. I really appreciate your honesty. And your smile. And your puppy dog! (My dog loves to see dogs on TV, and he is going nuts about your adorable companion right now!) Keep the videos coming, Ethan.

[@valleylaker]

I have always admired you for pursuing your truth. I was raised in the country in Ohio and have now returned there in retirement. We are all led to a number of stops in life and gather information and education at each They are all essential to get the gift of awareness in this life and, if we are lucky enough to listen, learn where our true happiness dwells. You have learned from your experiences and can now enjoy your true happiness. I have followed much of your journey and are very proud of you and happy for you! Life is good, especially with a farm and an Australian shepherd! Peace!

[@chodgson63]

Very awesome Ethan...we want you to be on whatever platform you want...congrats on the farm and new pupper (so cute)...

[@Mcflyeon]

Nice to see you on KZbin again and good to hear that you're doing well, making progress and moving forward. I've been through some up and downs but I was able to find the strength to move forward and working on taking care of myself even if I have to take some setbacks. Hope you'll continue to do well 👍

[@lloydpeasley5003]

Ethan, so glad to know that you found a farm in Upstate NY to settle. You certainly have a wonderful puppy who adores you. Hope you keep posting updated videos monthly. In high hopes that you love music as much as nature itself.

[@icantalk710]

Doggo is precious, and that sunset was pretty. Glad you're doing well; can't remember when I found you and your channel, but it's nice things are going well for you--and upstate NY farmland and nature sounds really nice. :)

[@davinlal6779]

Wishing you all the best on your new farm. You are truly an amazing human and glad to hear you are doing well. Looking forward to maybe seeing new content while you setup your farm and stock the barn.

[@jamesandrew4859]

Ethan, after a difficult day of watching the national news, this is such a great way to end the day! Best wishes.

[@anatman6304]

First time your channel appeared in my feed. I grew up in a similar rural area in the mountains of central PA. Best wishes to you on your new journey.😊

[@badvideocontent]

Congrats on buying the farm! There's a huge farmland affordability/access problem in New York State for beginning/young and sometimes even experienced farmers, especially in the Hudson Valley. Hoping that you'll plug in with the farmer community wherever you are in the state.

[@ehethcote]

Will happily take all the help/advice/assistance there is 😂

[@locutorest]

It is always great when you post one of these videos. Lune is absolutely beautiful. Many blessings!

[@bigthunderbird]

Been following along for the whole journey. Started out in Upstate NY, but currently live in the OBX, NC. It's strange how life changes. Best of luck with those winters! They're beautiful upstate!

[@miker648]

I admire your courage moving forward and moving toa farm. It does not surprise me that you purchased a farm, it's "Going back to your roots"! It might seem surreal but calming and comforting. Wishing you all the best, and hope our paths cross sometime, Mike

[@carlstange2439]

Thank you for coming back to the earth! I so proud to watch another farm kid go out and make it and return to the land! Congratulations !

[@rew3737]

Thanks for the video, Ethan. I will never forget meeting you on Mark's channel. You grew up on a farm, so it is not surprising to see you here now. I wish you the best with your new farm and look forward to seeing its progress. I am here because of you as a person, and look forward to future videos here.

[@psychic_crab_asmr]

Used to watch you and Mark back in the day. It's so weird how we all continue to move into the future as one. Peace love tranquility truth strength

[@Mark_Richards_NZ]

It made my day waking up on the opposite side of the world 🇳🇿 and seeing you’d posted. I have missed your posts. The farm looks amazing and I hope to see you able to post more regularly and share your farm, life and cute puppy 🐶 stories. ❤

[@davidmorsse5437]

I am glad to see you back on you tube. Missing your videos Ethan.

[@pj6x6]

Happy to see you back here and hear how things have progressed for you! Congrats on the farm and the pup is a beaut! Great to have a working dog on a farm. Would love to see how you develop things if you have time. Cheers from the other side of the pond…

[@tvldude]

Congratulations on the farm! Oh my, Loon is so cute, her coloring is gorgeous. Looking forward to what you are doing next on the farm

[@Richardwhytsell]

so glad to see u again online, missed your vids. sending love and blessings and joy of love to u.

[@Jimmerca]

Hello from California, it’s been a long time Ethan and good to see you’re doing well. We all know farming is a lot of hard work and a lot of time. I really hope you’re successful and you’re able to find some good help. Hope you take us along on your amazing journey.✌🏻. Awesome puppy.❤️

[@collinrxl9149]

Upstate NY is cold but beautiful and open! You're going to thrive up there! Definitely check out the Adirondacks and the Thousand Islands! Also the Wineries in NY are amazing!

[@joshuastearns6726]

This is INCREDIBLE! Having grown up on a farm in Upstate NY, I can truly appreciate this!

[@lugnut4848]

AWE Ethan what a cute puppy!!!! Congrats on the farm!!!! 😍🥰😘👏

[@williamallman8330]

Your growth over these many years is so evident in this update. Wishes for realization of those dreams that have led you to this point.

[@calvindavis3641]

Really great to hear from you again Ethan. And congratulations on the new farm. You must be really excited. Sounds as of you have big plans ahead of you and I hope everything is exactly what you are envisioning it to be. Best of luck. Never got to your clothes off part, but kinda wish I had. Never really found where you were frankly, so not short of attempting. But your new IG has some truly beautiful pics and i can just imagine the rest. So maybe someday, I'll go out on a hunt to find what I've been missing, if it's still out there. I am intrigued.

[@jacekswieczka8051]

So good to see you again! I hope everything will turn out good in your life ☺️ Sometimes we all need a metaphoric trampoline to get more force for moving forward. (I'm in such situation now as well). Please, show up more often. We miss you. And your puppy is so adorable! 😁

[@JasonShackleton]

Hi Ethan, Happy to see that you bought a farm, Curious to know if your planning Livestock or Planting certain crops, it is a hobby size farm or more a working farm with multiple Hectares, I noticed in the tree line that it looks like you may have some sugar maples for maple syrup. Love to hear of all your plans for the place.

[@michaelwoody1136]

I had no idea about the only fans. But I'm so happy for you. I cried, knowing you were doing well and found your place. Could you keep us updated on the farm? I would love to see the process and what you turn it into. Thanks for your vibes in this world.

[@jackx917]

What a great surprise to see your face again, and hear that you are doing well, etc. The last video I saw was you on your parent's farm. Looking forward to hearing about your future plans.... I had no idea that you were on OF.

[@nicholasjacka5785]

It’s always a beacon to hear from you, Ethan 💫 It’s been about a decade since I started following you - once a HS sophomore, and now 26, almost 27 - and it’s surreal realizing and typing that! It’s refreshing and a privilege to see where you’re at in life! Hope to hear from you again soon 💞

[@peterhavel]

So great to see you again! Glad you're doing well. Good luck with the farm -- and that cute pup!! Love ya! Peter

[@mattemery9575]

Looking forward to seeing your new life on the farm!!! Best of luck with that and the puppy. You should update us as to the history of the farm and your plans with it!!

[@Cookinboy05]

This is amazing! I’m so proud of you for following your dreams! You’re such a beautiful soul! 🫶🏼

[@dennisscott-k4x]

Congratulations. Good to see you behind the camera again 🤗

[@Hblondon70]

It’s been over ten years! What a journey. We each have to find our way and you have been searching and finding creativity in beautiful ways. I have a friend who is a potter here in England, you would love host stuff, if ever you come over I will introduce you. He has a lovely tiny small holding farm wise too.

[@darkartiste78]

One thing that stands out about you over the years is the raw genuineness you convey in your work whether its your art, the remodeling projects, exploring your sexual expression, or just the short Zen moments you connect with your supporters regardless of the platform. Only growth from here and enjoy the new farm and its challenges and adventures. You always struck me as one of the less “lofty” old school LGBTQ vloggers.

[@ehethcote]

🥹❤️

[@bcopeland1969]

well said Ethen.. proud of you.. and the journey your on.. love from Ky and Indy..

[@patrickdeady410]

Happy to see you doing well! What a beautiful place you've found! Indiana farm boy transferred to NY! Sorry I missed you on OF. Take care and hope to see more updates as you work on the farm. I am an old Hoosier fan of yours!!

[@Johner787]

So great to see you off on a new adventure! Looking forward to the dialogue.

[@michaelsutter8207]

Hello Ethan, thank you for your video. You inspire me. It came in the right moment. I remember you and your time with Mark and I see you now how you explore what you want from life - independently. I had a breakup last summer from the man that had become the most important person in my life. We were each other’s home and much more and now, each of us, has to start over again. But even if there is less joy and the feeling that I lost something irreplaceable, I try to go my way, explore what I want from life besides love and continue. And that’s the vibe I’m getting from your video too… how you discover and work for beautiful things in life that are not just guys or superficial. Thank you for your video and all the best

[@jamiesims9048]

Congrats on the farm purchase, the sunset was spectacular! Loon is a cutie, take care & stay happy. Every day Is A Great Day!

[@bubbabear6534]

Congrats and good luck , you are both adorable !

[@DodgeyBoy-qq8kf]

Hi Ethan! I have followed you for a long time and love your videos on KZbin 😊 I have been lucky enough to live in the countryside for over 40 years now I do like the city life but it’s much more hectic nowadays so not for me Great to see you back, looking forward to more videos from you! Lots of love and respect from the UK🇬🇧

[@assie1866]

You did it congratulations ❤

[@Tripper111]

Dude welcome back, the pup is awesome

[@EG-wv3jp]

So happy that you are back. I've followed you since the start, and through all iterations. Upstate NY is truly beautiful and I'm certain you will find your place and achieve your goals. Keep us posted.

[@alanarmstrong2011]

Great see you back. Over the last three years I have missed your videos. It sounds like you found your grove.

[@IMJwhoRU]

Thank you for sharing Ethan. Looks like a beautiful place, and when I was younger it would have appealed to me greatly. Now, I’m just old, out of shape, depressed and alone and couldn’t handle the lifestyle. You are very nice to listen to and very handsome. Where my mind goes … I’d like to cuddle someplace warm and have quiet conversation about anything. Oh well … that’s just a fantasy for a relationship I’ve always had … but it’s far too late for it to happen now. Good luck with the farm. I would enjoy seeing updates of what you’re doing, and you can stay fully clothed. 🙂

[@tooch-is7in]

Happy to see you!!!👍🥰❤️❤️❤️ wish you all best

[@mr.classicalmusic5607]

Congratulations on buying the farm. Love the 1960's Ford pickup in the background.

[@kenneyhutchison189]

Congratulations on your farm!! Your hard work is paying off!!!

[@brig2630]

Congrats Ethan! Buying a farm for myself is a dream of mine as well. I hope you have the best Angus cows on it some day!

[@Shalott63]

Hello, it's so great to have an update from you! I've not gone down the Only Fans route, so I'm dependent on plain KZbin for any news. I really hope it all goes well with the farm!

[@tonywatson1911]

It is so good to see you back. very best of luck with the venture. You deserve lots of good things to happen. xx

[@markstrahl8520]

So glad to see you! Farming is a hard job!!

Glad to see that you’re doing well. Wishing you all the best.

[@tarheeldunesboy6287]

Ethan, so happy for you, and that you’ve landed somewhere that will bring you joy and fulfillment. The farm will be an amazing place because of your dreams and vision. Might add, the older you get the hotter you look. Keep the vids coming. ❤

[@kylepodell7491]

Congratulations Ethan on the new journey. Hello from Oklahoma!

[@marsbar310]

Hey Ethan! Been a long time follower on KZbin since your college days. So happy to see how your journey has panned out and excited to see what is in store for the farm! Also a fan of the other content as well 😋😘

It great too see you again!!

[@lestermoweary7497]

It’s good to see you back on KZbin. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your content. And the farm life. And your puppy.

Welcome to NY! I love it here!

[@jim9520]

Excellent video. Ethan is so good to see you again and I hope you continue to make more videos regularly. You can do anything you put your mind to. Beatiful county and very nice sunset.

[@Qba911]

It sounds like great news, congrats 💪 I wish you all the best 🙂

[@CravenHexington]

I've been watching you since the beginning, silently, of course. You and I are around the same age. I have watched you evolve into who you are today, and it has been wonderful to see. I am happy you are sharing this part of yourself again. Thank you for creating a new piece of art to watch. Change can be a good thing, and I can't wait to see this new chapter unfold for you.

[@nedraenglish6362]

Gorgeous sunset! Thanks for sharing and welcome back Ethan!

[@sapir970]

hey Ethan!!! didnt see you for a long time unfortunately, but it so good to see you!!!!!!!! you're such a beam of light and love! iv'e overcame the biggest obstacle in my life, im going to a therapist to finally solve my problems, and i started working again,. it doesnt feel real because i've been living next to life for the last 10 years or so(im 28), and its actually starting to feel like life isnt going to be this stormy cloud of self judgment and hated. it feels like a small flower, that will bloom in its own time, and im so proud to write this today. didnt think im gonna make it to 28. sending a lot of love and hugs

[@fredvomlehn8457]

Nice to see you doing so well Ethan. Best of luck with the Farm and ALL the work it involves!!

[@johnmaxwell8655]

I was just thinking about you, two days ago, and here you are!!! I remember seeing your videos **Y*E*A*R*S** ago when you were still a teen, talking about your coming out process. It has been a privilege to see you evolve. For your current "incarnation" as a farmer. I knew the land was important to you... But!! I'm even more thrilled to know you are in a safe state to live in right now!! Be well, good sir!

[@christerhalseth9096]

Just amazing to see how you are doing and how you are! Hopefully we will hear more videos like this. You deserve the world and i am glad to have followed you for so long! All the best to you going forward!

[@markpierce2130]

so glad to see you doing well. cute puppy

[@marioc63]

Ethan- You'll never see this, but it does my heart good to post it anyway. Years ago, after being raised in Hollywood and grad school at Stanford, I continued to manifest (before that was even a popular term) and landed on a farm in rural New Hampshire. The path was crooked, but looking back, straight as an arrow. Enjoy the ride. And enjoy stewarding your own chunk of soil. Peace brother.

[@ehethcote]

Thank you for this message. It did my heart good to read it :)

[@Starfire77]

Glad to see you’re doing well Ethan. Let us know how your farming goes and that’s a gorgeous dog

[@brucejohnson618]

No risk, no reward. Look forward to hearing about how to plan to grow the farm and yourself.
