Every new video I cannot get over how you make everything feel SO REAL. Real, relatable, unique, and perfectly create different angles of scenarios we know all too well. Such as selecting the fossils out of your cram packed pockets, opening the cabinet in Nook’s cranny to buy tools, etc. My favorite part was when Kevin was fishing and Stitches saw the huge pile of fish bait and sea bass and walked up and sat on the deck with him listening to him vent about his struggles. Such a relaxing realistic feeling scene. I have to rewatch your videos many times to fully catch all the little amazing details and get the full effect. Keep up with these please!
