A HONEST talk about my YT future... and Celebrating Winter solstice and the Yule tide.

[@LysanderLH]

Tom. The only content we need is to watch you being you. We don’t need words. Merry Yule x

[@maryannhicks7829]

I agree. I always enjoy watching your videos

[@jeffwebb727]

Same. I agree as well! Happy Yule.

[@kevinlittle9483]

Blessed be, Happy Yule brothers and sisters ❤️

[@cimbrerbushcraft-vikingheritag]

Thanks Kevin 🤗 and best wishes for you and your family 👍🏻🐕🔥🏕️ Tom

[@cimbrerbushcraft-vikingheritag]

Thanks Jeff 🤗 that means a lot to me and merry Yule to you and your family 🎄🐶👍🏻🔥 Tom

[@sipapito]

Hello Tom, we folks in our older years can tell as we do not have the same energy as before and wish we could do more, but that is life, we thank you for all your hard efforts and entertainment, tips, and tricks we have learned from you. I thank you, and if I were you, I would do what's in my heart. Do not worry about us we support you no matter what.

[@hanktoft6908]

Don’t stop. It is relaxing just watching you and the pup cooking out doors enjoying each others company .

[@kimifur]

Tom, I for one am here for however much or little content you produce. If you have the energy only for one video a year, I will still be a subscriber and supporter! Sending much love this Solstice and Yule from the UK.

[@jonathanmcintyrephotography]

Watching you sit by a crackling fire, drinking coffee is always such a thrill. Just talking about your life experience is more than enough. I never had a father who did anything outdoors related, and I have learned so much by simply watching you, even if you aren't "doing" anything "important" . My girls can attest that my "Viking" cooking, is really yummy! 😊

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Thank you for giving North Americans a clear view of Viking culture! Cimber Camp is a dream for so many of us. Your past videos record that for a long time and for many new viewers.

[@aggieduke1]

The core of your videos is the tranquility you film in the forest with your dog running around. Love to just watch the beautiful scenery while you cook a meal and smoke your pipe. Merry Christmas to you and your family .

[@kriskabin]

In these stressful times, I know a lot of ppl are looking for calm & quiet, getaway from reality videos to watch. Your channel is one of these for me. I'm not looking for exciting new content, I want peace. Your rustic nature videos & narration offer this tranquility. I totally understand about aging & needing new inspiration. Winter is a time of rest. Perhaps with a long relaxing vacation from the channel, you'll discover a new path that brings you inspiration & joy. Happy Yule to you & your family, Tom. Best wishes for the New Year, too. 🩵 & Light from So California. 🙏

[@dennismarshall4207]

Wishing you and your family, including Cornelius, the best for the solstice, Christmas, and New Year. Your videos and posts have always been relaxing , informative and entertaining. I for one will continue to watch until you decide to retire your channel.

[@williammcginley3448]

I understand all that you've said. I pray that you find the energy and ambition and passion that you seek. We all love you, Tom. Your videos bring peace and comfort to many! What ever path you chose, I'm on your side. You have a Wonderful companion with Cornelius! He's AWESOME! Billy from Kansas.

[@johngalt6929]

Happy Yule from the USA!

[@charlesslocumjr1693]

Happy Yule and don’t worry, the whole world is upset these days with so many distractions. Your videos are very uplifting and we will continue to watch your fine videos!

[@jamesellsworth9673]

We appreciate your views! Every one of us experiences highs and lows in how we respond inside ourselves. At 80, I understand completely how energy ebbs and flows. I LOVE the Viking annual videos and your visits to historical reenactment communities.

[@KevinTerry-d5n]

Tom, a heartfelt I get it emotional goes out to you. I’m grateful to have found your channel. In the time I have watched your uploads and gone back and viewed your library. I have found great comfort and joy in watching your adventures. Very therapeutic for me personally. I look forward to the future of your productions, and appreciate your time and sacrifice in doing what you do, to bring delight into my life. All the best Tom, and of course of Cornelius. Kevin

[@roliver7773]

Good, honest and comprehensive reviews are always great content and they keep things fresh. Each review is different. Keep up the good work Tom, you're one of the truly good guys.

[@gerbenvanderveen-yw9mi]

Dear Tom, Happy Solstice to you and just enjoy yourself in a forest or in the dunes and let the smells and surroundings work on you and open your senses, without worrying about camera setups and repetitive actions

[@skippyjones4195]

Hey Tom we really like watching you and your videos I hope you continue just be your self in what ever you do it’s fine we love you Tom 👍❤️✌️💪🏻☮️

[@abefrohman1759]

I hope your passion reignites. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@wtf2203]

Happy Solstice to all!

[@bobgartin4165]

Thank you for making these videos. I love seeing your Viking house. It always feels so timeless and peaceful. There is just too much stress and strife in the world these days. Like you, I am getting older and feel the waning energy level. Your videos make me feel like everything will be ok. I hope you have a wonderful time away with your family and look forward to future videos.

[@chrisjohn8967]

G'day Tom you a good man and we appreciate your work what ever you want to do we will still be with you thank you

[@fletchdad8755]

I wish you and your family health and happiness !

Happy Winter Solstice Tom. Thanks for celebrating and sharing the ancient ways that some people don't know about...Peter from New Hampshire

[@catherineprater1485]

The life you have shared with us is very simple, always creative, and much appreciated. Your heart shows in everything you do. There can be a time where there seems to be no ambition or energy inside for creating videos. However long it takes I will remain. Thank you Tom. Have a Happy Winter Solstice and a Merry Yule with your family. Recharge, remotivate life moves us forward.

[@Joker52186]

Hey Tom, happy Yule 🎉 and happy New Year from Texas I hope you and your family stay warm and happy you and Cornelius give all of us great videos to watch and inspire us. I hope your fire is reignited soon so you can make more videos and keep your passions going

[@Jaxon1776]

The new microphones are great. Love the one by the fire. Your videos are very relaxing and enjoyable. I like black pudding! Thanks for sharing Tom

[@VVCEFEO]

Caballero, siempre ha sido un placer ver sus videos. Es un amigo que nos acompaña desde hace años. Respeto las decisiones que tenga que tomar. Un fuerte abrazo desde España y le deseo a usted y su familia Feliz Navidad.

[@9thMonk]

Always a pleasure, Tom! All the best to you & your family this Yule. As a sculptor, I find I can simply 'run out' sometimes. I sometimes wonder if I'm done, but a break or a change to something else for a while often brings new inspirations.

[@worm_vaquero]

Watching you out in nature, viking re-enacting, or bushcrafting, never gets redundant or otherwise. Also, I enjoy watching you pursue your hobbies, and DIY things. In the end you must do what you need to.

[@CurtArnsdorf]

Greetings from the Great Lakes. My grandmother was full Norse as was my grandfather. The Sun Wheel ceremony is something that I've never seen before. Thanks for the experience. Keep tradition alive. Got bless, you and yours, and best wishes for the future. 😊

[@garydumbauld4212]

Well, you have to do what makes you feel good about your life. Happy Solstice; Good Yule!

[@jonataber]

I think that, throughout life, things change, one must adapt and continue. Everything is a process of change, a path that shapes us, gives us and takes away at the same time. Just like you said, those backpacks we carry. But the important thing is to have been able to do and enjoy what makes us happy. I hope you find that balance again, and with it the necessary inspiration to do what you like, knowing that you will always have people who love to see what you do, how you do it and the inspiration you generate. Greetings from Argentina, and a very happy Yule.

[@2gpowell]

Hi Tom, I have not commented in a while. But I still enjoy watching your videos. You do have a number of loyal followers who enjoy hanging out with you in the camp. Nothing else required. Peace brother and Happy Yule!

[@JuanRenau-r9w]

Tom, I never comment much, but I watched all your videos since I subscribed to your channel and I love the way you do things, please don't chage anything and be the way you feel, I am in Scotland in a small cottage and when I watch you, I am always in peace, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2025 when it comes, Happy Yule! Skol!!! 🐕

[@old_sentinel]

Tom, Your videos are an escape for me. They're fun and I enjoy seeing something greener than where I live. My wife and I enjoy watching them. Our new dog Nugget even watches Cornelius every time he crosses the screen. It will be a sad day to see you not making new videos. If you must go, my we will understand.

[@ulv2499]

It's always a pleasure to watch your videos. I wish you a happy Yule and good health in the New year. May all the Gods of Asgard protect you and your family . Vikings forever !

[@ianbird8617]

You’ve succeeded in getting 100k subscribers. You’ve made 100 thousand people happy. That’s a hell of an achievement. I’ve made some of your stuff and enjoyed all your videos. Like others on here you only have to be you Tom. You’re being hard on yourself. You should really look back and see how far you have come. Merry Yule to you and your family keep up the good work…

[@maryannhicks7829]

Hello Tom and Sir Cornelius. Merry Christmas (Merry Yule) my friend. I have enjoyed your videos for a long time. Your craftsmanship has inspired me so much. As soon as I get the framework made, I will be making a Yule 🐐. May God grant you many wonderful days with your beautiful wife and adult children and beautiful Sir Cornelius. With love MaryAnn Hicks from the USA

[@lillithpeacock9623]

Tom, I fully support your choice to make the videos that bring YOU joy and peace. That is why I watch your channel, because your joy is contagious. I like knowing that when I am having a sad day I can come to your channel and find uplifting and peaceful videos. Just hearing the crackling fire, and watching you make tasty food, getting to see Cornelius be a wood bandit, getting to share in the whiskey wink, all of it helps bring a smile to my face and helps me carry on when my motivation is low. I would never want you to feel pressured to create content. I like knowing that you are having fun and we get to tag along. Thank you for sharing all that you have with us. I hope your holiday time with your family is peaceful and rejuvenating.

[@todaysworldjw]

😀 The things I take away most from your videos: your calmness, intelligence, ethos and learning a bit each time about the Denmark/Scandinavian way of life, thank you for sharing your videos 😀👍

[@moelassus]

I'm here to spend a little time with you & Cornelius regardless of the topic. Have a very merry Yule and a happy New Year, Tom!

[@tonycobb9704]

Tom your videos are so relaxing just watching you and Cornelius sat in the woods with a nice fire going and all your cookery stuff no music just the crackling of the fire , the sound of the forest all around you and the cheeky wink as you add something nice to your coffee. Many thanks for all the effort you put into your vids.

[@gregknight293]

Whichever route you take for the future please know that your videos and lifestyle in the forests are very comforting in this day and time . If you choose to continue please do more camp cooking and feature some of your traditional knives and gear . Merry Christmas and Solstice to you and yours from central Texas . Give Cornelius a scratch for me .

[@douglasreagan5536]

Merry Yule and Happy Solstice my friend! I always enjoy your holiday videos and I hope one day to share a coffee, a smoke, and an exclusive tour of Cimbrer Camp! Number my friend are not a real sign of success, those of us who you and Cornelius entertain are certainly worth every production. I turned 62 this year and I am now starting to have to slow a few things, but my passions are still strong. So are yours. Be well and Go well Tom. My best wishes to you and your family this holiday season!!

[@graywolf2025kh]

I’m from the US and I love to watch your videos! Enjoy the holidays Tom, and whatever you give us next year will be happy with

[@newfsareus]

HAPPY solstice, it is truly worth celebrating . I'll pass on the sausage, lol, but I love the time spent at cimbrer camp. I'm here not to be dazzled by the new but to relax in the peace and tranquility of the old ways. An escape from today while enjoying your company around a warm fire, anything else is just details. I'm older too and has slowed to where my energy doesn't keep up with my intentions. Just do what makes you happy and it will surely make me happy. Best wishes to you and your family and cornelius.

[@dennisgeorg6761]

Thank you for all the videos! I will miss watching them, but I do understand where you are coming from. I have learned a great deal from your videos. I wish you the best in whatever journey you chose next! Skol, my friend!

Hi Tom, l look forward to all your videos, l have since l found about 4 years ago. I like also your, making videos. I am enjoying the winter Solstice you have put out. I hope to see more of your adventures next year. Merry Yule to you and your family. (Cimbrer camp looks so cosy tonight).

[@GreeklishOutdoors]

Hej Tom! Your video reminded us to put out our yule-goats in our home 😉👍 I'm glad you don't stop making videos 😉 No hurry, no worry. Just do what and how you like. Well, I still have not tried coffee with whiskey, because "start the day with coffee and end with whiskey" 😄 Have a nice, peaceful end of the year, and merry yule to you, your family and cornelius! 🍻 Skål

[@peterdarby793]

Happy Solstice Tom. Slowing up the pace of your videos will just make them that much more precious when they do come out.

[@jorggardenier]

Hello Tom, I can understand your feelings about motivation! For myself my bucket is also quite full, and I’m just 47. Everytime I get a notification from youtube that a new video from you is uploaded, I like to view it. Hopefully you get more energy for 2025! You’re a crafty man, I really liked your lantern video. Perhaps for you to share more (little) crafts from you to share with the community to pass on your creativity. Please continue making bushcraft and viking videos, not just for the numbers 😎 Happy holliday’s, and cheers from the Netherlands 🤘

[@DavidCastle-c6x]

thank you for celebrating the winter solstice with us, wishing you a very happy yule time ,let the feasting begin . as for your videos i enjoy them especially the ones where you meet and celebrate viking ways. the fairs etc i also like to watch you make things like the lanterns and the other craft items , it is very educational and organic in the sense that you dont use modern things like plastic in your work keep up the good work and i hope to see your videos in 2025 Dave from Thanet ENGLAND the isle of Hengist and Horsa .

[@matfish1486]

Tom, i enjoy you sharing your time with us. It is very relaxing to me just to have a coffee with you. I created a shelter in my yard that i enjoy sitting in while listen to your thoughts. Thanks for you time. PS, I am retired and share what I like to do on youtube as well.😊

Almost forgot, Happy Yul Tom...winter is the dark times yet with positive attitude, it makes us all strong ...Skol 🍺 🍻 🍺

[@erkkikarvinen1783]

Thanks for coming from the north, it's -20 C. I'm with my dog ​​at the base camp (cottage), which is my only apartment. We go to the store once a week and each time we eat a hot black sausage with lingonberries with the dog. The sausage is made of blood and barley flakes. YULE is also our tradition. The god of light defeats the bull of darkness. The spring solstice is a decisive battle. Thanks for the perfect mood description. The fine milieu and every detail will go down in history as a description of how great it was also in the past times and traditions. In Finland, traditional customs were once filmed and acted out, which today is like reality TV of that time. Thank you for persevering and for making us happy with your work and videos, which represent good will and a comfortable life together, even though I see it through videos. 🐕 🙏

Tom, I understand your situation. I am 75 years old, and still working 3 days a week. My enthusiasm for work is at an all time low. You have been an inspiration to very many people! We always enjoy watching and learning from you. Do not feel bad about your thoughts. We understand. You need to go where your heart leads you, and not worry about your subscribers. If you enjoy what you do, and only 100 people watch your videos, you are successful! Thank you for all of the hard work, time and money you have invested in entertaining, and educating all of us! Merry Christmas to you and your family.....that includes Cornelius, of course!

[@ASpoonfulOfJimmy]

Love your videos, Tom. In a world of constant need for fast, novel, and sometimes exaggerated content, your videos have always been a refreshing anchor to reality. You don't need to do anything different. If you feel like you're stuck at 10k views, then just know you have 10k people who enjoy your content. I think that's wonderful. That being said, I would love to see more DIY projects in the future!

[@dwayneschoon8597]

Tom, you are the nicest gentleman on KZbin. Your videos are so peaceful and relaxing. I loved your older adventures of hiking, canoeing, and camping. Your Viking heritage videos and trips were really cool. Your current videos of you and Cornelius are simple but also relaxing to watch. You do what is best for you, and I will respect your decision. I hope that you can produce some content from time to time. May you and your family have a Merry Christmas. God bless.

Stay true to you and that's all ya can do!! God Yul my friend!! "Off into the woods we go...to lose our minds and find our souls!!"

[@paulkennedy5021]

Well Tom. I first watched your videos back in the days of Covid. Your channel became, and has remained for me a “must watch”. Your content then was good and interesting but what made me watch was yourself. I hear KZbin is a more demanding place now and perhaps that is why the new subscribers are dropping but you know what Tom? You don’t need to prove anything to anyone or drive yourself for some sort of success that is measured by the YT algorithm. Your fans enjoy watching you and Cornelius out enjoying the forest and having a “delicious” meal together. You have added different types of content, but for me and I think for most of us, it has always been about the simple basic stuff. A man we can relate to, A meal, a new bit of “old school” gear, a campsite or a tarp. As long as you want to keep doing it my friend, I for one will always enjoy watching it. The mics are working great, the crackle of the fire comes over well. May you and all your family have a very merry Christmas and I wish you all a happy and healthy New Year and I look forward to your return in the new year. God bless you brother.

[@tomt9543]

Best comment here! Peace, tranquility and old school relaxation! I’m not looking for excitement, actually quite the opposite, and Tom delivers that!

[@tomt9543]

I don’t know your age Tom, but I’m a month away from 65. I’ve always loved bushcraft, backpacking, and just being in the woods. And as bad as I hate to admit it, sleeping on the ground after miles of hiking just isn’t as appealing as it once was! Your simple walks in the woods with lunch and Cornelius time are extremely pleasing to watch for me, the peace and tranquility very much welcomed in this insane world we live in! I always try to thank any KZbin creator I watch for the amount of time and work they pit into the production of videos, and I don’t imagine any of us can begin to understand just what all goes into this process! Whatever you post, I’ll be watching it, just don’t force yourself to do anything you don’t want to do! My hope is that while we might be seeing fewer bushcraft videos, that you might post more DIY channel shows! Your model building, leather craft, woodworking etc videos are pure gold, and I’d like to see more of them! Thanks for all you do, and Merry Christmas to you and yours! Tom in North Carolina
