I can totally relate. I too have been doing KZbin for 10+ years and the time that it takes away from your family really adds up. It's manageable when views are good, but with everything going on with us having to win favor with the KZbin algorithms, it really can make you re-evaluate where you choose to allocate your time. I would love to hear some of your music! I've found that adding the Shorts and Livestreams, both which don't take up as much time as a feature video, helps me manage my overall production time as little easier. Thanks for the update! I'm glad that you are doing well and are happy with how life is going. It would be fun to chat one of these days. It's been a while since our last talk. Take care and all the best! ~Cliff

[@travisp11]

I agree with you about the time management and questioning if it is worth it to keep making videos in an effort to try to grow the channel. I’ve been seeing view drops for months now, combined with more and more of my videos getting smacked with limited or no ads which kills my circulation. I don’t have that niche in a series that brings me tons of views and subs. I’m going to keep doing what I am doing because I love to share what I do with my subs and viewers but I’m not going to feel disappointed anymore about my channel not growing. If it happens, it happens.

[@TacticalToolbox]

100% man

[@TheLateBoyScout]

Thank you, Cliff.

[@Cr0cket20]

I hear you brother.

[@Wingman115]

👍🏻👊🏻

[@stevepuckey9034]

Honestly man, once you started opening up why you've been away I started cheering. I miss the vids but you can't get family time back once it's gone. But you can always go back and make another video. Live life brother and enjoy the blessings God has given you!

[@peterfreidel7721]

AMEN!

[@hankstrange]

Hey man, without a doubt I relate to everything you said (I think it’s been 8 going on 9 years for us and you’ve been a friend through most of that) it’s disappointing that KZbin turned the algorithm against us (many of us are facing the same burnout feelings)...I really don’t believe you lost the core of your audience. I think most folks like me would watch you do whatever you want to do because you’re a good, interesting and entertaining person...keep doing whatever you want, enjoy your beautiful family, we’re here and I’m looking forward to the next time I see you in the real word...✌🏾❤️🙏🏽

[@TheLateBoyScout]

Thank you, bro!

[@CityPrepping]

Was just thinking about your channel today. Glad to see you back!

[@zunedog31]

All good things come to an end. You can be proud of what you've built here and your videos will continue to help people for years to come. Come check in whenever you like or find it fun, we'll be here.

[@zunedog31]

@@TACTICALNOMAD I don't think he has any desire to grow the channel. If he uploaded again he would be connecting with subscribers, and that's okay.

[@askingforafriend3574]

Best of luck and fortune in whatever you are up to! You are an iconic gun channel. Burnout is a 'thing' for sure, in many aspects of life. But every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end...take care!

[@sonofcenarius28]

Scout, you had the best channel. It was so much fun to watch a reviews and see all the things that you did. I bought so many knives after watching your videos and a lot of them were always the version that you review because I wanted to have the knife that scout had. Can't wait to see what you do next if you come back

[@floridamanknives]

I remember the video that brought me to your channel like 8 or 9 years ago was your first PM2 video. I have followed you ever since on my personal account. I love the honesty in this video, and more importantly, it is fantastic you are spending more time with your family! 🙌🙌🙌

[@Call_Me_Dragon]

Good luck to you brother. Do what makes you happy. Thanks for all videos through the years.

[@Kyoko12345678]

I totally understand. No matter what happens, thank you for all the content over the years.

[@EBthere]

@The Late Boy Scout Not proud to say that I was a freeloader on your channel and I watched many many of your videos. I enjoyed them. Having admitted this doesn't mean that I can't thank you for the enjoyment you've brought me and also to wish you the best and much happiness. Take care, you're a good guy.

[@555Gear]

Thanks for sharing. I'm in the same boat, my channel has been waning for three or four years. Family and work are taking priority, and generally the vids I liked best didn't post views. Not sure what will come next. Thanks for your honesty! Cheers, Andrew

[@NCrdwlf]

So weird I was just watching your old SKS videos yesterday . You have such good content . Your happiness means more to me . You live in such a great part of the country . Go enjoy it .

[@kyledasilva8525]

Thank you for all the great videos over the years. 9 years ago when the crkt ripple video came out, I watched it and subscribed. Your videos got me into knives and slowly other out doorsy things, and now they’re a big part of my life. Cheers from the Caribbean 🇻🇨 and all the best!

[@deionbeeldenstormer7498]

Thanks for the update, man! There's quite a few "tactical" channels I subscribe to. Most of 'em, I don't really care if they post anything or not, and only really watch a small percentage of their vids. Their gear reviews get pretty stale. But your channel, I always try to watch each video for at least a few minutes. Yes, your content is always informative. But mostly what makes me follow your channel is that you really seem like a good, genuine, sincere person. One with solid values. And we all need the occasional positive reminder that there's still good, real, kind, intelligent, hopeful people in the world. Thanks for that! If you decide to make any vids down the road, seriously consider taking the approach of sharing basic "life advice," experiences, philosophy, deeper perspectives on things, virtues to live by, outdoor/hiking/camping tips, etc. Perhaps even going in a spiritual direction, if you wish. I could see you really shining in that sort of angle. Just simple yet powerful "life tactics." Cheers :)

[@aaronburns7477]

Hey man just want to say thanks for all the work you put in for this content. Really enjoyed your stuff over the years.

[@ChristopherWalkenPUA]

I agree family is the #1 priority. I think a lot of us who started watching youtube gun and gear reviews since 2010 got "tactical fatigue." We bought a lot guns and multicam and realized that buying more "stuff" doesn't make our lives any better and the zombie apocalypse isn't going to happen. Enjoy your time with your family !

[@xjrob85]

Love your channel, Shane! I miss your videos a lot, but you’ve got to do what’s best for you and your family. Wishing you all the best!

[@mixflip]

You were a beast at SHOT show. 10 to 20 uploads a day! Those were the days bro. I am basically in the same boat. I moved away from Vegas in 2019 and that was the start of me just doing what ever interested me. If 30 days went by....oh well. I got into ATVs then SXS's up here in the Reno Tahoe Carson area and really enjoyed being away and not feeding the social media beast every week. I basically killed my channels ad revenue haha. I then shot myself in the foot by deleting all my gun videos (thinking I was saving my channel) DONT DO THAT. Just leave them unlisted or private. I accidentally got into ebikes. I posted a toally horribly reviewed Walmart junk ebike video and it went to 1 million views some how. (this was 2020) I am not a gun channel anymore, I am not an overlander even though I do those videos, I am not an ebike channel, nobody watches my SXS videos....I have no idea what I am doing now but time with my wife and kids is amazing. I started a family channel more like a diary/vlog. No editing just a dad filming his family and its been so much fun. I have no desire to build it into a business. I just want to be able to look back at our trips and experiences and say to my kids....remember this hike or this road trip? Or what if I die? At least they will have a large library to look back on where dad is actually with them in the videos. It has zero subs and I dont care. Its fun having the library of trips on camera. Im glad you changed gears and put your time back into your family. Us OG youtubers all probably need to make changes after 10 years of youtube. I'd like to see a video from you talking about the pros and cons of living in Utah. I did a video about Reno....and it got almost 300k views not that I cared...but people genuinely want to know what life is like in other states. Have fun! Enjoy life!!!!

[@TheLateBoyScout]

Hey old buddy, thanks for chiming in! I've enjoyed following your family adventures on Instagram. It's been really nice to put the video camera down and just enjoy life, man. I still snap pics, and occasionally put together videos of personal/family activities, but I'm done with the social media rat race. My ad revenue has largely dried up, but I'm doing fine.

[@mixflip]

@@TheLateBoyScout that’s good to hear. I bumped into Hank and Lola at SEMA last week and we talked about the OG gun guys including you. He is a brand ambassador for coachman motor homes which is very cool.

[@mo-pwr8220]

Well done my friend, I am a recent subscriber to your channel and really have enjoyed it. I understand the decisions and challenges you had to face, most people can't, you did the right thing, nothing more important than family. Be well......

[@jimrollins4857]

What a great explanation of what is involved and time consuming work it takes to do what you have go through to put out a video, i don't think most of us realize what a job it is to produce videos. The most important thing is spending time with your family and taking care of business at home, time is very short, time flies. Thanks for the video.

[@Kevin-kb8gj]

Family trumps all. While I miss your content I'm glad you're focusing on what's important to you and your family. I wish you nothing but good health and happiness and thank you for all the quality content over the years. God bless you, brother!

[@swampdonkeyoffgrid190]

Always enjoy your vids shane. Appreciate your effort and you are not the first i’ve seen burn out but like others i follow i would encourage you to put something out now and then and that will be good enough for me. Best of luck going forward buddy !

[@FreedomandBaconHomestead]

I've missed you and your balanced style with your clear love of your family in addition to other content. Nice to see you and continue to put the most important things first!

[@brianumbarger9790]

You do you! I like to see people enjoying what they do. That’s why I follow people on KZbin. Love your content and will watch whatever you put out.

[@abeazar]

Thanks for pouring your heart out. I'm 69. When I realized I missed my kids growing up is when I walked one of my twin daughters down the aisle in 2005 - I was 53. So, enjoy your family and children while you still can. My great uncle told me your kids step on your feet when they're young and step on your heart when they grow up. Sound to me like you are on the right path. God Bless you and your family. Thanks again for sharing...Abe

Missing your videos but family first. Much respect for the path you choose. Enjoy the time with the family man. Thanks for your videos!!

I’m glad to see you back! I have been following your channel since I was a young boy, back when you posted your techlite lumen master flashlight review, wow technology has changed in such short time. I’m now over 21 and let me say your channel content has made all my hobbies much more enjoyable especially with knowledge. Shout out from California behind enemy lines

[@bradyblackburn7877]

I was just wondering the other day what happened to you. I was honestly a little bit worried, so I'm genuinely happy to see you're not only fine, but thriving, and that you left for the right reasons. I'll enjoy anything you share here in the future; and, if you don't come back, be well!

[@jenniferrhodes1858]

I totally get it. I had an audio only entertainment podcast for 13 years. It was moderately popular-I used to joke that we had dozens of fans… all over the world. It was a lot of fun and I loved it, but after 13 years it started to feel like a thankless job. My life is different than it was when I first began the show with my best friend in 2006. I became a mom in that time, and also started a business. We made a bunch of friends through the podcast, and I am glad we started it, but our real-life family and friends always should come first. Being stressed out about the record/release schedule, always having to come up with fresh ideas, and all the editing time it takes to make quality content is not worth the aggravation. So, good for you! Thank you for the library of videos! I just discovered your channel and will watch them all. My husband and I particularly enjoyed your Subaru vid, and learned a lot from it. We have a similar life style and are looking to buy a 2013 Subaru. Anyway, enjoy your time with your family and remember, time is a resource you can never get back. Only put out a video when you feel like it and ONLY if it's fun. Merry Christmas and God bless!

[@TheLateBoyScout]

Merry Christmas to you and yours as well! Thanks for the kind words.

[@Reviews4fun1]

Hey dude I definitely get it. I gave up after 3 videos and your stuff is way more interesting than mine. Been following you for years and I like your unbiased opinions. Whatever happens, thanks.

Glad to hear you're playing music. I am honored to have you playing lead guitar in my pass the mic episode...haha! TRULY well said Shane.

Glad you're keeping the important things important!

Burn out does happen. We’ve been around for a long time my friend. This year marks 15 years for me.

I have enjoyed your videos for nearly the entire time your channel was up. Good on you for reassessing life and making changes that were the best you and the family.

[@newageselfreliance]

The struggle is real. I always say as long as people keep watching I will keep making videos. When times are good it's easy. However, once things go bad they get really bad, and things get harder and harder to keep things going. Each view is a person and I always want to do my best to show up for those people but the time and energy it takes to think, make, edit, and upload is way more than people realize.

Thanks for the update! Glad to see you're still kickin'! We miss ya, but we understand!! KZbin channels are HARD to maintain on a steady, especially the "bang bang, pop pop" channels.

Hang in there, and thanks again for keeping us in the loop!

[@bdkj3e]

It doesn't help that the longer people are on youtube the more people you subscribe too and you can't watch it all so you tend to pick and choose more and if you don't have the interest you skip over more and more.

I’ve missed your videos, but I absolutely understand putting family first. I’m glad you’re okay and taking care of yourself and your family. As the father of a small kiddo, I’d love to see some video ideas on family preparedness and easy family outings. I’d also love to see some more your music.

Hey good to see you again and best wishes! I'm a long-time subscriber and although I enjoy your videos and miss seeing them, I totally get it. I have no idea how you KZbinrs manage to keep cranking out videos knowing all the time it takes to film and edit them. I know I certainly don't have the time for it. So good on you for prioritizing what is most important in your life. Take care and all the best to you and your family !

[@jarede3403]

Been watching for 7+ years. It’s good to see a face. Take care of family. With all the covid crap working in a hospital an Respiratory Therapist, we were denied all PTO.

Great video. I fully understand where you are coming from. Thanks for the content over the years.

[@RUTired]

Glad to see you again, Shane. I think it's great to have KZbin as a way to make a little extra money from what I would be doing anyway. When I've worried so much about videos I'm making that it robs me of the enjoyment of what I'm doing- I try and cut back. I hope I never get to where KZbin feels like a job. Those who don't make videos don't understand the time it takes to edit, and I think you're making a good decision by keeping KZbin on the back-burner. Enjoy your hobbies first, if you can make some money and friends on KZbin here and there, that's just an added bonus.

Don’t stop playing music! I’ll watch whatever you upload. I don’t care if it’s a new channel. Stay motivated.

I have always liked your channel, and even watched your motorcycle riding in the mountains (pretty views for a Midwesterner to see). Whatever you want to do is the right thing for you. God speed and don’t feel like you have to do anything for us. You don’t owe us anything. I will stay subscribed. Shucks, if you don’t put out videos, it won’t clog up my subscription list anyway, so no worries. Post when you feel like it.

[@drzmanproject]

Thanks for the update, similar situation for me, though one was a reverse reason - much of my motivation was doing stuff with my son, Logan (Beachhead). When he went to college, it wasn't as much fun doing stuff on my own. Add in a 3 year peak in professional responsibilities, followed by a year or so of catching up on things that went to the back burner as a result, plus the Adpocalypse, it was easier to not create content. I've gotten a motorcycle, and expanded my woodworking, but it's been simpler to just enjoy those without setting up cameras and then editing.

[@CaptainBerz]

There is a difference between old school KZbinrs like us and the new school all they do is make videos KZbinrs. It was a side deal for us and for most now it is their main gig. I totally get it.

[@RoadKing-ky2bs]

Hi Matt, I have been subbed to you for about 7 years and I do understand exactly where you are coming from. Burn out. I just experienced it on my job of 14 years and on Monday I start with a new company and with a slight paycut. I had to get out because my health and sanity is far more important. I also play bass and music is one of my huge hobbies, aside guns and motorcycles. You and I have a lot in common. Anyhow, if you put up any of your original music I will be sure to check it out since I follow you on Facebook and Instragram as well. I will miss your videos but I back what you are doing as self and family come first over entertaining random strangers on the internet. Best wishes with all your new choices. Patrick

[@ToddTheGunGuy]

Hey brother. I am very happy for you. KZbin won’t pay the bills as you once told me especially since they demonitize anything with word guns or ammo. I am actually finding myself upset with the Tube and the lack of support and being against my passion. I see half naked women with commercials but I can’t get ads talking about ammo shortage. I am eventually going to change my channel over to something else if I get there. Nice to hear from you and thx for update.
