Burnie Vlog: Making Disaster Relief Kits

[@runriot19]

This Vlog is the best thing coming out of RoosterTeeth right now. And that's not necessarily a swipe at the other content they've been doing lately, it's more of a big compliment to the Vlog.

[@shamuslayes3804]

runriot19 I agree, I've been watching more of their related channels like sugar pine, ah...etc. The podcast is still good though

[@ZRovas117]

Agreed on Sugar Pine. Sugar Pine's humor is...an acquired taste. Thankfully, that's one good thing about RT. There's always something for everyone. : 3

[@enegetics5975]

Burnie's Vlog is a great thing but Achievement Hunter, Funhaus and LetsPlay are amazing products from RT still killing it.

[@PokemonFTW7]

This is why I love rooster teeth, they are such great people and I will support them for a very long time.

[@Robobagpiper]

My dad was displaced from Rockport, and still hasn't gone home yet. I went three days without hearing from when the hurricane hit, and got him out as soon as I got word where he was and that he was okay. He's staying with my brother in Dallas now, and didn't need to go to a shelter, but it really means so much to me that you guys are doing this for the folks of Houston, where I lived for 12 years. All the feelz. Thanks, Rooster Teeth.

[@joshmartinez2399]

Peter Walker this is such a touching story I hope that you and father recover from this as soon as possible. I swear if I was not so far away from Texas I would be begging my family to go out there and help. I actually know a person who was just displaced from their home I. The hurricane Irma that hit Florida so ik just how you feel. When I heard their voice agin I was so happy. I really wish you the best.

[@HJbear]

Burnie "we dont want to stick a camera in victims face we just want to help" Jake Paul " lets take a boat down and take advantage of people in crisis for views"

[@TheScottwright]

TheHumpjbear I was just thinking that

[@jacobs.4348]

TheHumpjbear I know right

[@jacobs.4348]

TheHumpjbear I think he was actually talking about jake Paul when he said that

[@cory7216]

Exactly right

[@AWAREDIAGRAM680]

Screw Jake Paul

[@WarEaglePlaysHD]

What an awesome thing you guys did. It's one of those things that no one would've judged you if you didn't do it, but you still did. An awesome way to use the reach and influence of Rooster Teeth!

[@kat369-mine]

WOW, You guys are so AWESOME. Made me cry seeing all the debris on the lawns, when you realize that's not debris that's someones HOME.

[@flarrina554]

This video touched my heart. As someone who was affected by Harvey it's nice to see just how much help we're getting from it. The recovery process is going on all around and it's nice to know how many people are willing to help. Thank you RT for everything you constantly do for the community, and my heart goes out to anyone currently being affected by Irma.

[@Scabahabadee]

I absolutely love seeing the generous loving people help out their neighbors and donating. It makes me so grateful that I live in a country that has the ability and will to do what's not always convenient but very needed. Thanks Rooster Teeth!

[@ComplexEvil]

As someone effected be the Louisiana flooding a year ago, I can personally tell you these kits will change someone's entire life.

[@LuckyCoffeeCara]

Thank you for helping Houston!!!

[@mavadodemnes6764]

"Living in Houston"I was happily not hit as bad like many in my area and it stuff like this that makes living in not just Houston in all of Texas where people come together to deal with this disaster this was why I attempted to go my the office since I have never met these awesome people. #wenttolatetoseethem #thankyouAH

[@SirPerfectful]

You want to know why I love Rooster Teeth? It's because they do stuff like this constantly. Seriously this company is so fantastic that not only do they make you laugh regularly, they will help out their community regularly.

[@marthdaeglin]

Damnit, I'm crying and this isn't even RWBY! I've been in disaster cleanup for years now, and it's super awesome to see what ya'll are doing and encouraging others to do!

[@nathang9644]

I love seeing people taking time out of their busy lives to help improve others who've been displaced and such......some humans can be so kind

[@dankesthank5506]

I was so happy to see at the end Burnie literally showing up to the city. I live in Houston and I hear a lot of the people affected saying the main thing they need is an extra pair of hands for some manual labor.

[@jesusfreak9991]

you guys continuously walk your talk, thank you.

[@TheEpona92]

Thank you Burnie and Ellie for showing people how they can help out.

[@phlashfoenix629]

I love seeing things like this especially since I know people that this happened to. I have also gone and volunteered at shelters and knowing that people like this are helping others and still donating makes me so happy and I'm so glad people like this exist. :3

[@tsutsuichiharu]

I keep saying this but thank you guys for everything you've done to help, as someone from Brazoria County, just south of Houston, and who has been affected. So thank you for everything you've done and continue to do.

[@Lisandra1G]

I live in an area in Florida that luckily did not suffer too much damage. You, Burnie and the wonderful people at Rooster Teeth, have inspired me. I am going to reach out to my peers in college to help do this on a large scale for the people that just had to go through Hurricane Irma. Thank you for helping people in need and inspiring others to do good in times of desperation. You are beautiful people.

[@that1whiteninja496]

It's things like this that give me hope for humanity. #thankyouroosterteeth

[@pt1733]

Thanks guys and gals from Rt us out in the boonies along the coast are still dealing with flooding. Their are several areas in my home county that we can not get into as of yet due to high water. We keep getting donations to give out to people who need it, thanks for helping out.

[@TrevorReis]

Bernie, you are my favorite person. A beacon of humanity and sanity in this increasingly crazy world. Thank you for all the amazing good you and those you've surrounded yourself with put into this world.

[@barbosacool]

This video brought a tear to my eye, you guys are phenomenal! This is what makes Rooster Teeth and amazing company!

[@squidney6267]

It is quite sad when disaster hits anywhere 😔 But when disaster comes people come together. There is so much love and support from so many people. People heading down to those areas to help out, neighbors looking out for each other. I love that RT is also showing support for Harvey victims. Even with Irma that recently hit where I am, everyone has been so helpful and kind during the cleanup process. I pray for all the victims of Harvey and Irma. 💕 I pray that you all are safe and recovering from these two horrible hurricanes. ❤️

[@ThatPsdude]

Good on you Burnie for actually going down to help friends, that speaks volumes for your character.

[@primelevelgaming2337]

Burnie Burns, I have followed roster teeth for years and I have to say this is the best video yet.

[@trequor]

Idk the Extra Life streams are pretty legendary

[@primelevelgaming2337]

Ok you got me there. You guys do great things Burnie keep it up.

[@erikhoryza9068]

This made me cry. Not like little whimpering, teary-eyed cry, like full on bawl. I'm so grateful to be a member of this community.

[@TheRobMichaelsBand]

Bernie, I don’t know if you’ll ever see this, but thank you honestly. I have spent the last few weeks trying to explain to my family my change in career path(going into law enforcement), and the last part of This video helped articulate the words I couldn’t find. Next time you’re in LA I’d love to have you as my guest at the restaurant my family and I own.

[@ravioli90210]

Thank you for doing this. As a victim myself (water up to my ceiling, whole condo downstairs ruined), I really appreciate you guys coming down to help.

[@charleybucketcdp]

Lived through Katrina and the most important note I can advise to those in Huston is to treat everyone generously and kindly like family. Do everything you can for everyone and as a community things with flip for the better faster than you can realize it.

[@MasterKcoop]

charleybucketcdp Can confirm. I also lived through Katrina... Obviously, right? On a real note though, One doesn't have to go through misfortune in Order for you to treat others with respect.

[@trequor]

Squabbling is a luxury that is hard fought :)

[@bronwynbarnes9762]

This is so wonderful what Bernie and Rooster Teeth are doing, and I am moved to tears that donation centers are having to stop taking donations simply because they are getting to many! Thank you to everyone who is helping, even in the smallest ways. Thank you for being amazing!

[@krimbliqkah4523]

You guys are all wonderful, thank you so much for what you do! (Also, the puppy Gus is adorable)

[@maggiemcgonnell6754]

Rooster Teeth is such a good company full of good people.

[@SIGBizzle]

You are brilliant people, the world needs this love and support right now and you guys are giving it. Much love ♥️

[@AWAREDIAGRAM680]

Burnie, Ellie and Rooster Teeth you guys and gals are so amazing, Im a grown man and I'll admit I almost cried watching this. This is such an awesome thing for y'all to do. I hope the folks in Houston can get back on their feet quickly. Also those in Florida that just went through IRMA.

[@havoksaar7905]

This is amazing to see! Me and some college friends are trying to put something together to go help, and my campus is also getting in on the relief effort. Just wish I could do more!

[@crazymoogle]

I'd be even more impressed with the level of consideration RT put towards every stage of this effort if not for the fact that this is exactly what I already expected of them. Good on you all. Thank you for being human in a dehumanizing event.

[@GuerrillaBlaster]

Good people at RT, makes me proud to be a member of the community and I am actually about to head south into FL to help out where I can there! Make the world a better place one helpful thing at a time Rooster Teeth fans!

[@Emily-gw9xz]

What you're doing is inspirational, thank you for being such an amazing role model to the thousands of people that look up to you!

[@Nebbyboy]

I love the way Ellie holds the front of the shopping cart like your mum used to when you were 9 xD

[@bradydearmon6622]

12:28 hearing Burnie get chocked up. I love Rooster Teeth and it's because of their huge hearts.

[@iLikeMenNow77]

This is so much more helpful and productive then going out there like a baffoon with cameras, it's a great way to show the audience how to help in a realistic way. Really love this and the helpful notes along the video good job roosterteeth using their social media platform right and not in a way to embelish themselves !

[@Doleoh]

So great! Thanks for the peace of mind and doing so much good for so many people.

[@__aceofspades]

BTW, Target gave 3.5+ million to harvey victims and is giving more money to Irma victims, also gives 5% of their profits to charity. So you did a good job of choosing a store.

[@Ataume]

Thank you for showing this. I was wondering how people were doing in Texas. (Live in Europe myself.) And it's true what you say, they don't report about Harvey or the aftermath anymore, which is why it's nice to see this. And it's even nicer to see you helping people and telling how everyone is helping each other. :)

[@christopherpowell1483]

I live next to Tampa FL just went through hurricane​ irma.im glad you're helping people.thanks

[@Ldelphoto]

This reminds me so much of the Baton Rouge flooding disaster. All the houses begin stripped. The piles of lost materials... it's so familiar. And the people. All of the people doing whatever they can, wherever they can. There is always work to be done.

[@Stvrdrop]

From someone who lost most of her things due to Harvey, it's heartwarming to see people you look up to doing some good. Much love, RT fam ❤

[@z3m0s]

Of all the obscure Austin restaurants and places they speak of, Target is the one I know, we have them all over Australia and I wasn't even aware they were in America, the more you know. Amazing stuff helping and raising awareness for such a tragedy, good work Rooster Teeth!

[@dragonianarcher7656]

From a Houstonian, I thank God y'all are doing this, and y'all as well. Some of my friends had about 8 feet of water in their house... it was bad

[@lukeperryglover]

haha Jon. Good on Burnie. He's such a great guy, and it's awesome that RT hasn't forgotten the people affected by Harvey, like he said, just because the media doesn't report on it anymore. I used to have Target's near me (RIP Target Canada). Awesome video, and very heartwarming.

[@evanstrzalka1766]

its nice to know that rooster teeth helps the community. big props to you guys. and thank you for your help

[@working2bselfsufficient724]

Lots if Targets all over FL.Thanks for helping it makes me and everyone proud to be an American!!!🇺🇸

[@d2beej]

Good on you guys for this and especially Burnie for going down to help.

[@areostarkiss]

as a Canadian seeing a target with stock on the shelves is weird, they were always empty in the brief time they were in Canada.

[@dawsonschulenberg4589]

Yeah, here in Winnipeg MB the Target was maybe in business for a week, then immediately​ after they just put everything on sale to get rid of all the products so they can close it down. Now we have a huge building with parking under the building (Oppose to underground parking)

[@ParappaTheNappa]

yeah I work in a Target in Michigan and have seen multiple stories of people coming in saying they live in Canada still come down to shop.

[@nighthawk2618]

Reasons I love RT.. they do streams to help kids, they make disaster relief packages, they make fun as hell content, Burnie is a great guy, Red vs Blue, and last but not least Achievement Hunter :) Keep it up guys I love you RT

[@MCLefka]

It's moments like this that makes me love Rooster Teeth, just the genuine humanity they show.

[@danchapman8482]

I don't want to knock anything in this video because what you guys do here and just in general is amazing work. But you have a large audience and you guys have never been afraid to talk about topics people aren't normally talking about. if you could do something even just to raise awareness that the hurricanes are not the only natural disasters happening right now. the whole northwest and Canada is burning right now and people need support up there as well. i know it's nothing to the same extent and this comment will probably fall into the nether of comments pretty quickly. but it would be really cool to even just hear you guys take a minute to bring it up on the next podcast so those that lost everything they own in those fires can at least get a little help sent their way. sorry to rant. love you guys. keep doing amazing stuff

[@ToG_Michael]

Dan Chapman but that's why it's great that he's making a video like this. These kits can be universally used in any disaster. Now anyone near a disaster area who are wondering how to help know what to do.

[@danchapman8482]

ToG_Michael that's a very fair point. Those packs are universally helpful. It would just be good to get some awareness going for the fires. Even what blizzard did with their new donation pet was nice that they stated that the funds help all natural disasters not just the hurricane victims

[@FilthAndRuin]

The reason they're focusing on the Houston hurricane though is that they're based in Texas, so a number of them have family and friends affected by the crisis. It's in their state so it directly affects them more than the other natural disasters going on. I understand that you'd like even just a mention but it's probably hard for them to focus elsewhere right now when it's their own backyard.

[@blinkx1070]

I can attest to some of the stuff happening in Canada. I live in Kelowna BC, and while I'm not affected directly by any of it, we've basically been perpetually in a giant smoke cloud. For the larger part of a week we couldn't even see half a kilometer across the lake, the sky was orange and the sun was bright red. For most of August we got basically no rain in our 40 degree heat. Forest fires are pretty common during the summer but this is the worst it has EVER been. The smoke is so bad that we've been told not to do any strenuous outdoor activities and to limit the amount of time spent outside. For a while I was having a hard time sleeping because the smoke was starting to affect my lungs.

[@KitteyWolf]

i live just a bit down south from you, and i have to say, i'm amazed at how bad the fires have been this year... we literally got raining ash for a couple days, its really scary

[@Riyoohkey]

I live in Amarillo Tx and work for Walgreens and they just asked for volunteers today to go help get the stores in order and get people back to work i can't wait

[@publius101]

this is an incredible video - i never comment usually and i don't care that no one will read this, but i almost teared up at the end of this. even though idgaf about any part of the human race, i found your compassion to be incredibly moving.

[@jobe1728]

This is what makes me love RoosterTeeth! It's all about community and reaching out.

[@AmbassadorZim]

Everyone should like this video, even if you didn't like the content. The more likes on the video the more money they'll get from this video and the more money they'll donate. Takes 2 seconds to do and has no negative impact on you.

[@HNGamingOfficial]

Jacob, stop being obstinate. The point of likes is to get something seen, and trending. Sharing works too, clearly. There's really no need to attempt to counter argue something that is clearly meant with good intent, and is actually true. Here's the point, no one will get to the ad in the video, if they don't even see the video. Don't grow up being a douche ok?

[@roculegends3820]

views also generate money but the likes still help.

[@flapps38]

The time where I am was actually 4:21 when Burnie looked at his watch, lol that's craaaaaazy!

[@terraglade]

I can count myself luckily to not be a hurricane victim, but to those afflicted by it, stay strong, things will improve with time and effort

[@kirstacks4691]

This vlog series somehow became one of my favourite things coming out of Rooster Teeth ( I still love the other stuff) but this is great.

[@paxcallow]

this company is filled with great people.

[@fog2012]

I thank you rooster teeth for caring about all the people that have suffered from the hurricane. I love you all and thanks

[@xtremehuber7727]

The support in Texas has been amazing it makes me proud to be a Texan and an American

[@imogenna_]

I teared up when everyone was writing on the cards, just so many people supporting other people when they need them

[@nojohns6586]

Imagine if your a rooster teeth fan and you got one of these care packages

[@manson2178]

I want to thank you burnie, for being a great person by helping us in houston. I hope to meet you.

[@asjones1992]

I can't do much myself, but I only wish the best for everyone affected. May everyone get back on their feet swiftly, and normalcy for the most part return.

[@SnowmanTexan]

Thank you, from the Houston area.

[@aztechguy76]

Burnie, I really, REALLY appreciate this video. The kits you guys prepared are detrimental in the recovery process. The last part though, THAT really means a lot to me. "Throwing money at the problem" isn't always the solution. While it definitely helps, hands-on, physical man power is always needed. Sometimes it's knowing that a random stranger is helping out, trying to help a community thrive again. There is so much I want to say, so many recommendations to make. Just... help. If you're in the proximity and the danger has passed, just go. Be prepared, but go. There will always be SOMETHING to do, someone to help. You don't have to report on it, record it, or even talk about it. That feeling that is instilled within you though, it is an indescribable, immeasurable feeling of self worth and humbleness. Sure, emotions will arise and if they do, cry it out. Hug a stranger, friend or family member, or all of them and cry it out. We're only human, and it's okay. I love Rooster Teeth and what you guys do. Seeing this and your other charitable contributions affirm my beliefs even more, to contribute to your company and to be a part of something greater. Keep doing what you guys do. It's appreciated more than you will all ever know. Love from Nashville, Robert

[@Palenite]

From experience while going through and working 12hr shifts during and after Harvey this right here is one of the most humane acts. "we don't want to stick a camera in victims face we just want to help". Way to go Burnie and RT

[@657Tasha657]

I love these vlogs

[@nataliawilson1258]

Thank you guys!

[@ashinymug2629]

Ellie should pull the seat up

[@MonteBond8]

I was thinking the same thing. Glad I'm not the only one who noticed

[@zebedeesummers4413]

To be fair it could simply be for the shot not for all the time she spends driving. (I do agree though)

[@menelmacar3]

From down in Houston, THANK YOU!!!

[@jtpower99]

I love you, Burnie! Such a good guy.

[@jackchandler8072]

What a great thing to have done. Also doing the charity live stream. My thoughts are with everyone affected in the US, stay strong 👊

[@BraniusBalki]

LOL the dog has a neckerchief, am amazed that is a word.

[@willflanagan8708]

This is so kind and inspirational. I love Roosterteeth

[@JaymesHildegard]

Something about these vlogs is really entertaining, and I'm not sure why.

[@mister5teve816]

Thank you for being awsome!!

[@lancefisher8358]

This video alone made me become a First member, I will absolutely support a company with these values.

[@V3Valhalla]

Not gonna lie, I teared up a tad watching Ellie write "hang in there" for that note of encouragement

[@weponlowers]

"money from this vidoe will be donated" ad removed becuse the use of the word disaster

[@sixuk902]

I refreshed the page and let the ad play fully a few times for this exact reason. Don't know if that has any effect, but it's worth a shot, right?

[@lvibezl8712]

*video*

[@MartyrPandaGaming]

Turned my Ad Block off super quick hefore clicking this. Was actually disappointed to not have gotten an ad for once, so I let it play from 0 to the end. Hope the couple of cents it generated helped some.

[@arcaneghost24]

Wait does "disaster" actually demonetize the video? What in the actual f*ck

[@arcaneghost24]

No ad for me either

[@gamerdude-cb1du]

They are helping people out

[@russ_dylan]

this is an amazing example of a disaster relief video, not trying to get sympathy views for a cause they dont actually care about, they actually show how people can help too.

[@russ_dylan]

i live in the houston area and my house is perfectly fine, i got so lucky but a lot of my friends werent as lucky, this video really hits home for me. made me tear up. i love it when people reach out and help others. great video guys

[@Catalyst_94]

Amazing work guys. Thank you for this. Just have to figure out what this water is doing rolling down my face. With much love.

[@losersocool]

Thank you so much

[@Bishop2155]

Not all people can donate money because they simply don't have it themselves. Just spreading the message about and watching videos that help raise money for the victims is good enough!! Stay safe people ❤️

[@justinharris7021]

As of now, this video has 63 dislikes. Why would anyone dislike this? They're helping hurricane victims.

[@silverfangalpha]

If I ever had the opportunity to do anything with rooster teeth or achievement hunter, I would feel incredibly honored. They are amazing companies with amazing people working for them. :3

[@LittleCheebs]

Wow I thought you guys were going to get the travel sized things. Full sized shampoo and conditioner! Southern hospitality right there.

[@TimTheTrooper]

You guys are amazing. I shared this video with everyone I know. I hope the few extra views help out. Thanks!

[@cheesestick3376]

That Target has the exact same layout as the one in my town on the West Coast

[@GeneratorKiller]

I love RT for everything that they do❤️
