Channel Update + One Year Update for Chinese Front Loader

[@PeteZolli]

Thanx for the update. I'm sure I speak for many in saying that I miss Anni's content, both here and on her own channel. Especially during the lockdowns when we couldn't see our own friends, it was nice to have a friend in Finland who taught us about Finnish food and has beautiful cats. But of course, you both need to do what's best for your lives. Thanx for all the hours of pleasure over the years. ❤

[@tracybowling1156]

This is the problem with being a KZbinr, you get burned out after awhile. It's a lot of work on top of your regular job. I appreciate all of your hard work. I enjoy your videos. But I want it to be just as enjoyable for you two. Congratulations Anni on your Ikea job. I hope you love working there!!! And thank you both for all of the hard work over the years!!!

[@smashyrashy]

Thats why people youtube isnt for everyone , the only way it works to be happy is devote your time onto one or the other.

[@ActualGoatUnicorn]

If I remember correctly, Anni worked at IKEA before she became a fulltime youtuber. So I'm sure she likes to worked there as she decided to go back.

[@smashyrashy]

@@ActualGoatUnicorn liked working there* also, shes not doing videos now?

[@Chris-jo1zr]

Anni used to work at Ikea, there was a video when she explained how much she loved working there and misses it.

[@smashyrashy]

@@Chris-jo1zr i wonder what exactly her role there was

[@LordGrievous1970]

Gonna miss you, Ani. You were definitely one of the highlights of the channels.

[@nelsonboful]

Your humanity, your chemistry and your personalities are what makes your content so special. Heck, you could produce a podcast -no video- describing the crazy things you do and I would listen to every episode. Thank you both for making the world more interesting.

[@adamedwards3921]

Omg i would love to see them in a podcast . That would be awesome ! Great idea

[@Chris-jo1zr]

Yes a Podcast would be great, they could talk to other Finns, not just youtubers but maybe cover some music... MAYBE try to get Ville Laihiala on, seeming as the guys loved the band Sentenced.

Great to hear and see Anni again.

[@JonspawnNaz]

I'm happy you're both okay! Do what makes you both happy and healthy :) x

[@davidsteinhour5562]

We want more positive, wholesome, fun-loving Lauri and Anni! I don't care how polished the videos are.

[@IIStudios]

Anything that works for you guys is what's best!! I wish you luck and health! But I'm gonna miss Anni's videos too!

[@gettosurfer]

Funny you talk about how things have changed in you feelings and application of the videos. I've seen the same "stall" in other channels. Everyone gets burned out trying to be the next thing but gets farther away from what got them started. Be yourself. It's what people enjoy about the content.

[@Beyondthepress]

And this is also my second channel. I have kept the weekly videos up on HPC for 6 years now :D

[@adamnottage8642]

Very happy to see Anni back

[@ricklepick9148]

It was really nice hearing and seeing Anni again! Find a good work/life balance. That's important no matter what you do.

[@vendettahobbies5769]

I missed you guys...lol I miss Finland Friday....:) Make sure you take care of yourselves, your happiness and health are worth way more than any video.

[@joshuagibson2520]

Do what makes yall happy. Everything else will fall into place. Wish yall the best, always.

[@ironspike171]

I miss the FROZEN LAKE videos. These were simple but fun. An anvil, a furncae and 2 cameras. Done. I dont need huge explosions and 8 high speed cameras.

[@roddevereaux1830]

I have to admit i actually lost interest with all the extra stuff in the videos multiple cameras watching same thing in different colours and speeds.

[@WoodworkerDon]

Anni always has great ideas. Prrrittii Guud on Anni. 👍

[@RickLaBanca]

Simplicity is best. The content is still going to be great. Creators using fancy cams, ring lights and crazy effects forget we don’t need all that.

[@theoaksmeister]

Realy miss Anni but great to hear her again in this video. Keep up the great work with both of your channels Lauri 👍🏻

[@Issac_The_Last_N7]

Least you're being open & honest. I can respect that

[@Laura_Darkspear]

If simpler videos work for you guys they work for me. I’ll watch either way. I miss Anni’s videos but I’m super happy for her that she’s happy working at IKEA! 😃❤️

[@Chaosrain112]

You're very much a success story on the internet. Everything on this channel has been super interesting from a scientific and mechanical point of view. Glad to be a subscriber regardless of what direction you go.

[@hayleyxyz]

Great to see you both :) You are honestly two of the most genuine people I see on KZbin. Just have the production quality that works best for you. CodysLab is one of my favorite channels and his production quality is pretty awful, but people love his content all the same. Your content is good, and people will appreciate that regardless. I personally watch you because you're both extremely likable and the wacky stuff you get up to is fun and interesting. Stuff like the number of camera angles is barely relevant after that (to me at least!)

[@gregsayre4700]

I watch you guys for the oddball things you come up with, and I love that I can see the country where my great grandmother was from she was born in Syväjärvi, Finland

[@Mike-fg9tx]

Glad to hear everything is ok between you two, was starting to get a little concerned. Enjoy your new venture Anni! We’ll miss you.

[@senorjp21]

I'm happy for you two, but I'll miss your videos! Thanks for lots of laughs over the years

[@countryracer69]

I had a long talk with Grant Thompson years ago. He told me how he had success with KZbin. He also told me how often he had to put out a video and how much he had to make off each video to cover the cost of said video. Now my girlfriend is working hard to build her channel to make money. She lives in a poor county for now. She stresses about how clear the cameras and sound are. I dont believe you have to have tv quality equipment to do this. And I do love all your fancy high speed camera stuff but what got me here in first place was the energy of you two just having fun! Thats your secret! Having fun! Dont make it a job. Make it fun and let the rest fall where it wants.

[@wadewilson524]

You, Anni, and your content have made Finland one of the top countries I want to visit!

[@donniev8181]

So good to hear Anni's fun voice back in the videos!

[@joshuagibson2520]

We miss Anni! We like you too Lauri, but we really do miss Anni.

[@iliapelkonen]

Soooo good to see Annie👍 You guys are my favorite youtubers for ages, please keep going - 1 camera, half camera it doesn’t matter I love your content unconditionally

[@jeffscantling6199]

You have a long life ahead of you, find a good balance between work and living, you need to live now while you are still young.

[@jkashoto]

We will miss seeing you Anni! My wife and I often make Korellian stew using your recipe, it is one of our favorites. We both wish you well and thank you for a glimpse into your life. Be safe!

[@looneyflight]

As long you are happy and I get to join in on the fun occasionally then I am happy.

[@joew426]

The best thing about your videos has always been how genuine you both seem. I'd rather one video a year where you're having fun than one video a week when you aren't!

[@justskip4595]

Content is a king, production value just adds to that. It is a trap to keep on just adding and adding more and more production value.

[@mason6300]

I like the simple videos on this channel and technical videos, you are great at presenting your gear and it makes it fun to watch even if it's just you and one camera.

[@Noogie2]

I miss Anni enough that I stopped watching this channel. I'm drunk, decided to go back. I wish you two all the best. Great update.

[@RobertRoberts329]

Glad to hear you guys are doing well. Moi moi!

[@adamedwards3921]

I think this is good for both of you and us subscribers, with less editing time you will probably find you can put longer / more content . Any ways you guys are the best .whatever you decide im along for the ride . Just please 🙏 please PLEASE dont ever take the channel down .

[@aliday9968]

Thank you for videos on both channels. I love it so much, your way to thinking. It is so important, best channels for children too

[@flavioaugustojose]

Anni's mystery is solved! But it's good to hear you again! :)

[@fanofactionflicks]

great to see you both again, all the best with your plans!

[@evileyeball]

Glad to see things are ok for you and Anni, Thank you for the update. I am subscribed to all three channels (This HPC and Anni) and though I got most enjoyment out of this I do get enjoyment from all three. Best of luck to Ani in her new job and best to you in the future, Your fan with the same wedding anniversary (year month and day) Eyeball.

[@100-pc-notbot]

It is always great to see to see you both again! And thanks for all of the great videos on this and Anni's channel.

[@rancidcrawfish]

You don't owe us shit. We're happy to see you guys when you feel like it

[@johnkilo3]

Sad to hear Anni won't be making videos anymore. The videos on her channel were a nice look into living in Finland. Understandable to be burnt out on making videos after so long, though. I'm glad all is well.

[@2rueblue]

There is no such rule as saying that you can't enjoy or have fun with your job, but I can speak from experience, if you are not enjoying what you are doing at work then it becomes miserable real quick. I am selfish and I would like to see you both together in the videos but it's more important to me that you both are happy so I wish you well Annie and we might see you appear as a special guest at some point. Thank you for all your hard work and you certainly brought a lot of smiles to a lot of people. I will keep following until you guys decide to move on. Best wishes from Scotland.

[@herbertsusmann986]

Nice to see my Ithaca is Gorges sticker is still on! Anni sounds happier back in the regular work world again. I saw that Ikea shut down in Russia along with most other western chains.

[@aivarras2371]

This is the realest KZbinr in the world. Also Anni, not scared to sell car to their subscribers, most KZbinrs who get more subs even 100k+ or even less are scared to go outside also scared of their subscribers and they only do KZbin, but you guys work hard real jobs and are not scared. Respect!

[@gabmd757]

Such a great update! I really appreciate the honesty and simplicity of it. Great content! I wish I both all the best and looking forward to seeing more videos!

[@HAL_9001]

Hey! Glad you're back! It's much better to take a break from a hobby when you start to bet burnt out, IMO. Otherwise you could wind up hating it. I'm probably not the first to mention it, but you might do a video on towing capability of the front loader. Like could it tow and MT-LB, BMP-3, T-64, etc. Somehow when I see a green tractor now I immediately imagine it towing a tank, lol.

[@MelbaOzzie]

And he could put it on ebay after he tows it.

[@busdrivinpj]

How much we enjoy these videos and miss your fun updates and info. Totally understand the need to do other things, but know you guys are missed and we love seeing you again!! We’ll enjoy these videos whenever you post one!!

[@davidseslar5798]

Annie - we miss you and your interesting videos on Finnish life, cats and salmiak. Hopefully your spirits and energy will be restored and lead you to put out occasional videos on a random schedule like your friend Sarpele.

[@DudokX]

I like simple videos :) That's why I watched your livestreams where you just talked about random stuff while walking somewhere or doing something.

[@chrisbeck2197]

Happy to hear form both of you and know you are doing well. You should defiantly due what makes you happy. It is what have makes your channel a success. There are a lot of videos out there that are made without your laughter and funny comments. If your not having fun DON"T do it!

[@cat637d]

We love you both, you make videos whenever and however you can, we will faithfully watch them👌

[@josephranker5716]

Much joy to hear Anni and that all is well.

[@-Jethro-]

Love Anni’s cute little electric car. With fuel prices so high, that was a great purchase.

[@matipre]

I'm not gonna lie, I miss the videos, I miss the intro, I miss Anni laughing. But I understand it takes a lot of work and money to get a video, and you even don't know if it will get results. So, do what you feel. Thank you!

[@jamesa7506]

Nevermind the loader, check out those awesome shades he's wearing! 😎 Pretty good 👍 👌

[@jasonharding9490]

Thanks for the update! And good to hear you are both well. It's a no from me on the car I'm afraid, the steering wheel is on the wrong side. Great to hear you are back at Ikea Anni, I will check everything I buy from there and maybe one day I see 'Anni was 'ere' written somewhere (or 'Anni on tässä', sorry I don't know the past tense for that). Kiitos ja paljon onnea, moi moi.

[@ClockworkReverie]

It's been really cool to see you guys moving up with better equipment and higher production values, but years later my favorite BTP video is still Ultimate Shopping Cart Rally. Sometimes all you need is a block of wood and a headless mannequin tied to the back of your car. Glad the main channel is doing well enough now that you can do more casual stuff on the side again. It's also great to hear from Anni again! I miss the everyday life videos and Finland Fridays, but happy to hear she's okay and wishing her the best at her new job!

[@kirk1156]

take it easy, have fun, i will keep following no matter what

[@m-m8835]

The action lab, one of the first channels to copy your hydraulic press has a great concept now days. I feel like this channel shares similarities with that however he has really Nailed the presentation and filming. Seems like it could Be interesting to check that.

[@Beyondthepress]

That's also really good channel and with quite simple production value also

[@exige021]

Honestly like this channel more than the press channel so i'm glad that its back! Hopefully Anni changes her mind and shows up randomly in a video anyways! /Greetings from Sweden

[@jester-gq9jq]

Do whatever you need to do. Love the videos even if they are simplified I will still enjoy them. It is important that you enjoy making them also

[@raiku6518]

I wish you nothing but the best, just do what you like and stay healthy.

[@WoodworkerDon]

Anni's commercial was the best. 😀

[@ChongMcBong]

kiitos Anni and Lauri, good to see an update, hope you guys are doing well :) nice to have a break to recharge batteries and sisu a bit

[@drakelong5851]

Some of my favorite videos on this channel were the early ones where you were blowing up canned vegetables, testing strange rocket fuels, and all that stuff. You've been getting more and more professional and complex over the years but it's okay to just do smaller stuff you find fun or to just do heavy work kind of stuff once a year or whatever. Just do what you enjoy as long as you have a good income. Success isn't about keeping a hobby or business going forever. As long as it meets your needs and wants then that's a success.

[@nelsonbergman7706]

Moi! I enjoyed hearing and actually seeing Anni. I watched with the CC enabled and it said honey instead of Annie. How did she manage that?!? Keep the videos coming at your pace. Quality over quantity. Thanks for the update. Moi Moi!

[@OZtwo]

We fully understand hope all is well.

[@skeetsmcgrew3282]

Sorry to hear Anni wont be in videos anymore, but Im glad she is doing whats best for her!

[@ulrichminky9495]

Many of my favourite channels only use 2 cameras usually an action camera like a go pro and then even a phone on a tripod for wider shots. It seems to be a pretty good way of capturing the action without being too much work. Cheers from Canada. ~ulrich

[@higgo1978]

Flippin heck that loader is tiny compared to the ones i opperate at work. Have a look at the specs on a Komatsu WA900-8. Thats what i opperate! Good to see you guys again.

[@bucketfan4life]

just be you, dude. do what makes you happy. if you need a break then that's fine. we'll still be here, my subscription is staying and you and your wife are fantastic people. people have already said it in the comments but you're both so genuine and enjoy what you do. there's nothing wrong with a break, even on youtube. and congrats to anni for getting a job!

[@andyarchitect]

Hi I hope you are both well :) If you come up with some fun frozen lake ideas or other fun ideas it would be awesome to see this channel revived with a random video every few months. Your videos always felt like we were having some fun with friends :) I think everyone would be perfectly happy with some very low effort filming with just one, or possibly 2 cameras, and a pile of thermite, or lump of red hot steel. The fun content and laughter was always more valuable than the film quality :D I can appreciate the time and effort that has gone into some of the past videos you did and for that I am very grateful. Wishing you all the best :)

[@Ulthar_Cat]

You do you and do what makes you happy. I just want you two to be ok 💜

[@dennishinkle5010]

Keeping things simple like you did 4 or 5 years ago is a great idea. Maybe bring the death ray back for an encore. Fun is the key to being happy and it shows in the videos. Thank you.

[@samdelucia5074]

The Ithaca Is Gorges sticker on your frontloader made me double take, I'm only 2 hours away from Ithaca (on the other side of the planet) and see that sticker all the time, its wild to see it in Finland!

[@jft1911]

Funny you should mention Demo Ranch, I literally watched this right after Matt's latest vlog. I think you could do pretty good videos with just one or two cameras set up on tripods and a single handheld. You need just enough to tell the story, and with a little planning you can have less wasted footage. Make it easier on yourself, burnout is real. Lots of people I watch are slowing down, or even retiring from YT. It used to be if I missed a day, it would be tough to catch up, but now I've had 2 day stretches where nobody posts. The key is to make it fun for yourself. If you are enjoying it, it will be apparent, and the videos will be better.

[@eric81872]

Thank you for the video! ☺♥

[@Maluband]

Nothing wrong with one nicely focused camera on the A roll and one wide angle, like a go pro for the B roll. Then you can edit easily plus the viewers get both the detail and the wide overview. I think people realise that this is the Beyond channel and want to see you and your interesting activities and don't require a super high quality visual. Sound is always tricky, have you thought about a Lavalier mic? Remember perfect is the enemy of good enough.

[@serta5727]

Good luck for you both 😇 You make the best crazy stuff, for science of course 😎

[@The.Pickle]

I think something like this will ware down components very quickly with normal use...but after the warranty you could swap out the engine, beef up the Hydraulics, swap out bearings etc with parts from western loaders. There's an excellent channel called "Diesel Creek," that swaps parts and fixes really old heavy construction vehicles and is an awesome fountain of knowledge, I've learned a lot just from watching his videos.

[@crawdadlando4053]
