I've officially started crabbing again this season! I have to finish up the FV Southern Girl, my crabbing trailer, and get my crab pots over to the marina to load up on the boat. The crab stand is done and opening this Saturday for the first time. It's been weeks of prep and we're finally throwing crab pots in the water!

You need to check put bunker branding for your shirt and all printing clothes needs

[@jeffreygeorge219]

Have you ever thought about using a rake on the side of the boat to grab the pots? Basically you ride past the float, the rake grabs the line and pullls it up, much less work, and man power.

[@nolt4024]

Luke you need to do your shirts/apparel with DTF yourself and not preorder a ton from Cali. If you’re interested let me know, I’ll tell you how to do it yourself and pocket all the extra income…seriously…could be as much as $5-10 per shirt in your cost. Nothing in it for me just wanna see yall succeed.

[@intosound913]

hey Luke, as an old man, to a young man, get a small note book to keep in your back pocket. it's difficult to get in the habit of writing things to remember each day, but it keeps you from doing the work twice, or making multiple trips.😅 i hope you and your men have a safe and bountiful season sir.

[@hugogarcia9797]

Coming from a young man, who has been procrastinating this, thank you for the friendly reminder

[@Roy-al-Paign]

As a young man who started college later than most, I picked up this habit and it's allowed me to conquer my ADHD and be more efficient.

[@JerryHatrickShorts]

As a middle aged man, who has an old man’s body but feels like a young man, this is excellent advice. I just type stuff in my phone because I hate writing.

[@lovinglife69]

As an.... *-old-* lady. This is solid advice, Luke. I even love my sticky notes for reminders! They're everywhere 😅 Just don't forget to write down the dates 😂

[@magnum2424kc]

I had to put a pad in my back pocket last year and I can't get by without it

[@CLEMSON_COBRA]

Vice Grip Garage, Cleetus McFarland, Gentry and Sons Trucking, MN Millenial Farmer, and this channel are my main ones I watch consistently. I enjoy guys that start off as regular folks like you and persistently chase success without letting it go to their heads. Remaining humble and doing the right things when no one is looking is paramount. Your t-shirts are sharp, maybe you can get ole Cleetus to tell you about ship station and take your merch online. Being in South Carolina, I am not exactly around the corner and can stop by. I know you have to crawl before you walk, but just food for thought there.(no pun intended)

[@claydog6422]

Have you seen Letsdig18?

[@tworah]

My list as well

[@low-daddy]

Yeah. Vice Grip Garage, Donut Media, Booted Boiz, MKBHD(Marques Brownlee), Project Farm, Rich Rebuilds ... there's a few more but these are the ones I will admit to watching.

[@mysickfix]

All these channels are perfect examples of getting too big and losing some audience. Take Cletus. It used to be something regular dudes could do, then it was 50k dollar parts, now it’s fucking helicopters. Out of touch. I really hope this doesn’t happen to Luke. The comment about buying crabs to sell worries me though. Is it going to become Luke the Crab Stand owner instead of Luke the Crabber?

[@hughjarse4627]

Zipties and bias plies. Thanks me later

[@garycline986]

Dude you need to start including Linsy in more of your videos. She is the sweetest. When you caught that one 1⃣ you definitely got a keeper. You would capture more subscribers than little. Not only is she the cutest but the attitude is great. I got a kick out of the two of you on the boat and you talking about moving to Florida and her reply was to drop anchor and welcome home. Love the videos and the best luck to your marriage and happiness.

[@user-vp8hl7ko3r]

As a marine mechanic, it’s nice to see you teaching this next generation how to do it without teasing him for not knowing, you gotta learn somehow

[@bamflowe]

I agree. Sometimes the youngin seems a bit annoyed. Which is part of the working life. I just hope AJ sticks with it because the opportunity he has will learn him a bunch a good things or two

[@bigtsperspective5831]

Ya need a shirt that says “ I visited Luke , He gave me crabs ! “🦀

[@jeffstruck5481]

Luke, on your latest video you asked for your subscribers to tell you what they like to watch on KZbin. I enjoy watching people that like what they do, they have a passion for what they do. You never talk politics, which I appreciate. It’s all about, being a crabber and what it takes. You guys are doing the work and we are simply watching on KZbin, but you make it fun. Keep it up and have a great season!

[@timmorin69]

My favorite KZbinrs are Cleetus McFarland, Vice Grip Garage, Matt's Offroad, and Luke McFadden. You know what all 4 have in common?? They ALL work their asses off, they are all incredibly humble and thankful for their supporters, and they are not fake and gimiky.

[@noahjones3442]

+1 for matts garage

[@charlesjenkins1191]

I'm not saying that you are my favorite creator, you are the most relatable to myself being a self employed carpenter using 30-40yo wore out stuff. I love everything you have going on and I think the only thing you need to change is the number in your bank account. Your ambition and absence of fear to fail needs to spread to some more folks. You're giving inspiration to others and everything you do helps someone else get a little less scared of doing the unknown. Keep up the hard work crabber ('s)

[@dianalyman5950]

What he said.💯✅✅✅

[@Brian-mp2mv]

48:42 Luke! Don't bend over to drag the crab pots. Make a hook with a T handle to drag the crab pots across the floor! Make it Y shaped on the other end, so you can hook two places on the pot and spread the load and not stretch the wire cage. At the milk processing plant, we used T handled hooks (approx. 36 inches long, 1/2" diameter with 3/4 inch black pipe T handle) to drag cases of milk stacked 6 high across the cooler floor and trailer floor.

[@phonedave]

As soon as I read T Hook, I though "that's how I used to drag stacks of milk around the grocery store"

[@Brian-mp2mv]

@@phonedave Only way to move milk, if it's not palletized. In the cooler, the floors were diamond plate steel, and with practice... you could drag the stack off the conveyor, spin and sling the 6 case stack 20 foot to its resting area. (in the winter time, we'd be on the back dock, and go into the cooler to get warm!😮) Good times, good memories... but I sure was glad when I came out of the cooler and became a pasteurization operator.

[@patrickjames8066]

Luke I watch a lot of you tube and there are a lot of good ones, but I will tell you this, your show is one of the main ones if not the only one that I really look forward too the most. Your outlook on life is what all the other good ones bring to the table. You my friend have it all going, the working man’s perspective and you are all about the truth without the embarrassment of the sacrifices it take to live your dream with your lovely bride and good friends. Great job!

[@jonserck8569]

You should watch andys little homestead then. It us great to watch.

[@Roy-al-Paign]

I agree with this.

[@jakobhearn7081]

My dad always had a quote for us boys growing up, one of wich I never understood until I was around 28, he said "never get so caught up trimming the tree that you forget to rake the leaves." I'll save you the riddle headache. In other words don't focus on something small and forget about the big picture. Alot of small things can railroad your major goal. Be safe out on the water and may God bless your every adventure.

[@parkerschaar]

My favorite other KZbinr besides you is MN Millennial Farmer. I think I admire watching you goes so much because your videos are over edited and satisfying to watch. Simply put, you both just show what you do in a day and the daily chores and jobs. You show off how hard you work and in the end of the year you both get to see your hard work pay off with your harvests.

[@rwilk13]

Diesel Creek is my go to. He's just fun to watch, I learn a little but he's just entertaining to watch.

[@jimstratfordfl]

I love watching Matt on Diesel Creek. The banter going on inside his brain and his willingness to admit his mistakes showed he’s the real deal, just like you, Luke. Greetings from Cambridge on the Eastern Shore.

[@MrMattDat]

Luke, an idea for future transome access: Make the top portion hinge on the side (like the access into a bar) and hinge the rear panel to fold down/outside (if you beef it up, you could walk up it). Also, you really need to dress up your roof line with a drip edge (like 1x6 plastic wood) to keep the water from wickin under & into your plywood.

[@GregFrisina]

I love to watch clayton schick outdoors. Mainly for ice fishing but he also does open water. I learned how to lake trout fish from many of his videos. He's friendly, knowledgeable, and gets really excited when he catches something good.

[@michaelgarrison7604]

As far as other KZbinrs that I enjoy... I like watching real people who aren't pretentious who have a good clean channel and are good people. Some would be Matt's off-road recovery, smartereveryday and off kilter fishing here in North Carolina. I enjoy your channel because of your attitude and the fact at what you do it's so different from life around here 200 miles from the coast plus it's nice to see someone else who enjoys being out on the water.

[@brianforaker1160]

I will tell you my opinion, I think you have already figured out KZbin. You do a great job. Your content is excellent. Very entertaining. Very enjoyable to watch. Keep up the great work. You are awesome! Good luck with the new crab stand. It's looking great

[@nicholascabala9040]

A stick suck as a rake handle with a hook on the on the end may make moving the pots on the trailer easier. Hook the bottom pot without bending down and drag it across the trailer while using one hand to stabilize the top pots. This is how people move milk crates around warehouses

[@joemart3821]

Most YT channels that I watch regularly have a cast of characters. It's not what they do, but the interaction between the people on camera. There is a car KZbinr named Mat Armstrong. He started with just himself on camera. He's a positive guy like you. He works hard, but his channel took off when he incorporated his Dad, girlfriend, friends and camera man into the content. It really adds to the entertainment of the channel. Good Luck out there!

[@dragnfli520]

(I'm no crabber but ...) I sure appreciate your clever, innovative solutions & quick wit for days! My other YT faves are positive and good-humored ... Matt's Off-Road, Fab Rats & Andrew Camarada - I obviously gravitate towards folks that know how to improvise & overcome in a positive way!

[@jeffreylarson8533]

not a crabber but I am a small biz owner (painting/construction) and I hear you when sometimes it's a bunch of spinning wheels when trying to move forward- I like to see that you have an assistant without much on the skill level but willing to learn- been there (still there) and no matter how frustrating it can be it's worth the time to teach the next generation. Good Luck this year- I truly appreciate your content

[@jeffreylarson8533]

because you asked: as a professional musician, I enjoy watching luthiers do their magic repairing mostly vintage guitars like Ted Woodford. But as a painting contractor in the trades for 30+ years, I enjoy watching people like you. I like to see the ups and downs of doing your best and see what comes of it. Congrats on your success and hope the crab shack works out great for you and your wife's future.

[@ScottBryant-wi7gb]

I enjoy watching Puddins Fab shop. This is the only crabbing content I watch. Once this season gets going well I am going to take my pitty on a road trip for some crabs

[@timseeds9381]

Mama didn't raise no punk!!!!

[@imaginaryfriend9655]

Hot Damn... There's So Much Bee Ess erie Luke should have a Second Channel C'mon...

[@MisterJDagger]

Ziplock bags man! I always have ziplock bags in the shop, stuffed in my pockets, I have boxes of the smallest ziplock bags in my shop. When you pulled off the kotter pin, and then the loop on the end of the cable, I throw those in a ziplock which goes in my pocket. Never lose anything!

[@chrisdimmitt7012]

I definitely like the long content version. I also enjoy watching Stradman. You both are down to earth guys who don't take yourselves too seriously. You have that next-door neighbor kid out hustling. Obviously Stradman is sports cars, but what you have in common is your both very passionate about what you do.

[@tonysylvester721]

Luke. You are doing great. My brother was a waterman , and his Crabs were always the best. We lived on Kent Island. People drove from Baltimore to by them. Keep up the good work.

[@anthony1291]

My favorite youtuber is Misha Charoudin, reason is he is a talented track driver who loves what he does at his core. I enjoy watching you because at your core, you love crabbing. Therefore through your passion, I have learned many things. Never change yourself for views. Authentic and genuine people make the best youtubers, in my opinion.

[@rstephe]

Fun watching a 28 year old crabber get stuff done to ensure he can get the job done. Lindsey is always so positive and supportive. Suggest hanging merch behind you to fill in space. Some of my other fav KZbin creators: James Condon and Chickanic for small engine repairs, A1 Auto and Vice Grip Garage for auto service and repair, just a few acer Farm for small farm production, and Zwag, TC Zwag and Zwagmo for league of legend gaming,

[@user-cv2bl4mp7i]

Re-do your back entrance. Put a hinge on the bottom/outside of the back gate. Re-attach the top part. Make it a step, so when you flip it open, it converts into a step onto the back of the boat.

[@Roy-al-Paign]

I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING!!!

[@Yellow_Hammer]

I watch VGG, Cleetus, Junkyard Digs, Pole Barn Garage, ect. All these channels have passionate and funny people that make even the same content feel fresh and interesting time after time.

[@adrianlawrence7029]

Channels I watch : Vice Grip Garage, Cleetus McFarland, Farmcraft 101, Salvage Workshop, Jake Broe & of course Luke McFadden. Your channel is great & you always bring a smile !

[@steveschriver8308]

My dad and I (sportsmen licenses) set 2 commercial pots each in various parts of Egg Harbor Bay, or Mullica River, NJ.. We go for the rustiest crabs we can catch from May through November. The more rust, the better. Educate your customers on that. More meat! Your content is hilarious. We wish you the best of prosperity this season.

Exciting for the new season for you Luke, Love your work ethic. Good luck. Supporting you man.

[@JettisonM]

My entire family loves Roman Atwood…specifically his vlogs now…we got involved in his channel and lifestyle now, like yourself, we want to see his day to day and “behind the scenes”. Our family also really enjoys Sailing Zatara (and their kids channels), Desperado Ranch (Matt Carriker) and Bar 7 ranch. We just love to see and support hard working families doing what they love. I will tell you that as I was referencing above, once we love you we will watch anything you do to support you…I would imagine that’s the same for most YT watchers.

[@TyMike444]

Luke that boat stand is sweet man. I think you should definitely extend the counter all the way down not to the bow but to the doorway of the cabin. Can't go wrong with plenty of counter space, Then once you have the counters built you should build up a little form around the counters and just pour some clearcoat polyurethane as a countertop you can put cool stuff in there before you pour the polyurethane like hooks and fishing stuff. Heck You probably could even take some big number one males set them on the counter and then pour the clearcoat polyurethane in on top of them. I don't know how that would actually work but you could always get some fake realistic toy crabs and do the same thing

[@Chickendude1]

start spraying stuff with crc 656 my guy, itll save you alot, I buy it by the gallon and keep it in a spray bottle instead of buying little spray cans, marinas usually spray it on everything to keep it protected, good on rubber and keeps steel from rusting, better than wd40

[@cgirl111]

I was thinking the same thing but Fluid Film.

[@davidsaffel3785]

You are my favorite KZbinr. I grew up in Dundalk till 6th grade. I enjoy your hard work, your lovely wife helping you, and crabbing!

[@msimonse]

I like Timmy at Truck House Life. He is remarkably resilient to life's challenges and has both excellent adventures as well as wonderful drone footage and careful editing and all. Perfect for an old man (me) to live vicariously through his adventures and endeavors . Highly recommended.

Nothing more Pasadena than this @11:00 my uncle had big block racing boat in the late 1990s . I remember zipping down the bay with wind in my hair

[@matthewserrao2926]

HELL YEA some flat bottom jet boat content on the crabbing channel? Made my day

[@quarlow1215]

My fav channels are "Destination Adventure", "SV Seeker" and " Tula's Endless Summer". They've got videography down pretty good. Good luck on your crab shop opening. Since you are becoming a distributor for other guys crabs I can see you becoming a successful seafood shop within ten years.

[@Camoboy70]

@Luke McFadden just a small tip for you. You're Vibration issue with hose and cable... if you take foam pipe insulation like they use in plumbing for houses, put that on your hoses, zip tie that, it should help protect it from rubbing through. Easy to remove for repairs, and cheap. Hope that helps?

[@poweredbypies]

Luke, it's great seeing a young man build his business and grafting like hell to build something to provide for his family. You give us older generations hope that it won't all go to hell. Keep at it and plenty of us tune in just to see you pushing on through to get it done.

CEE Cutting edge engineering.. younger guy in Australia does some awesome machining work. Has a good mix of mining equipment repair, shop tool builds and so on. A good mix of projects, and crabbing is what makes your channel enjoyable. It comes across as a nice day in the life of Luke.

[@itsjustgoss]

Channels I tend to watch: Sleeper Dude, Roman Atwood, Cole the Cornstar, Cleetus McFarland, HeavyDSparks, Matt Cirriker, Ultimate Rebuilds, Goonzsquad, Junkyard Diggs, Laura Farms.

[@Spike-sk7ql]

Luke, being in the ocean is like being in constant winter in the rust belt on the equipment. As a rust belt mechanic, when i have a line to take off,i alwaus spray with GOOD penetrating oil (Thrust from Castle just NOT WD-40) tap the fitting with your purse (hopefully that means a real hammer to you) and spray it some more. Do the other stuff to get the job done, and then hit it again, spray it, and wrench it. If it doesnt work, it gets some heat. Most things are just heated to cherry before you even attempt to loosen them. Obviously, a hose fitting cant be unless you want to replace the hose end, and if you do, why even bother trying to get the old one off.

[@beny7160]

Love that you are spreading your success to those around you. Deciding to work harder and more by buying crabs from other fishermen so you can keep selling to your clients, rather than just sell out and go home early, is a big hard worker move and I respect it.

[@sfc.m]

That jet boat is bad ass! Those twin spinning hat and sunglasses eaters behind you are SWEET!

[@motoroil8853]

Do you know if the water is swimmable at the inner harbor in Baltimore? It was on the news but I don't believe it. The mayor is supposed to take a dip next month

[@1ROB82]

I’m curious as to why it wouldn’t be. Is it because of the bridge collapse or something else?

[@tylerwestman5258]

You can swim anywhere water won’t kill you if you know how to… signs don’t mean anything no one owns water

[@MD21037]

I believe the water is still pretty cold.

What I want to know is it clean and safe and no parasites leeches or anything that's going to cause anyone to get sick

[@BensweiaRD]

Have you seen that water and the bay? It's some gross ass water

[@kennethyoder8822]

I watch Cleetus McFarland, Demo Ranch, Deer Meat for Dinner, and a few others. Love your channel, it’s super real and down to earth. Coming from living in the mountains of VA and loving going to the ocean for vacation, there’s something about non touristy fishing/crabbing that I’d love to try one day. Whenever I have a midlife crisis it will probably lead me towards the water lol

[@victoriabaxter3290]

I love watching the HoofGP because he is passionate about what he does. He also attended film school, so his production quality is awesome.

[@chucksanderson3107]

Hi Luke, You have a can-do attitude and a clever streak when you are fixing or building equipment which I like, since I have a similar streak. Self deprecating humor also goes a long way! Along those lines, I like to watch the Millennial Farmer. Hes interesting to watch and his life gets hectic when he's planting and harvesting corn & soybeans in central Minnesota! Worth a watch in my book!

[@leeberto5682]

Matt's Offroad Recovery (wholesome, family friendly mechanic stuff and offroading), Do It With Dan (definitely not when the kids around, mechanic stuff and moto vlogs), Grind Hard Plumbing Co. (more mechanic stuff, plus cool random builds), Cleetus McFarland (hell yea brother), and various random Gaming channels. Oh plus this one, clearly.

[@patrickmcgrath6338]

Propst & Sons off B&A and MT. RD like 5 mins from your crab stand. They do shirts and can turn around quick. Go local 🤘

[@cameroncrush9591]

I watch FarmCraft101, Vice Grip Garage, C-Boys Tv, and many others , what keeps a youtube channel thriving in my opinion is the personality and entertainment of the person or people behind the camera. I enjoy your Honesty, Humility and Hard work ethic. Keep on Keeping on Luke

[@brandysears3546]

Simple Living Alaska, VGG, Matt's Off Road, numerous gardening channels. I've really enjoyed this series of fixing the boat and the stand. It has been much more like how my husband and sons fix things around the house. My Dad worked at an auto repair shop, and we went to work with him quite often. I still love the smell of bondo. I really enjoy watching videos that are more real and less staged. What you do looks so much more like real life, and you're positive and upbeat, which is key when genuine. I'm looking forward to seeing what's next. Sending support, love, and kindness from Lexington, MI, USA.

[@gr7428]

You asked what KZbin channels we like. Dearmeat for dinner, Brad Owen, and you are my only favorite KZbin channels. People that are serious about what they do, and are all around good people! Born and raised on the ocean so I love everything related to the ocean, and I love cards!

[@WestCoastChris138]

Cleetus McFarland, Gentry and Sons, HeavyD, Whistlin Diesel, Cutting Edge Engineering, and you!! There’s a bunch but those are the main channnels I watch, they’re all just entertaining hard working boys!! Keep it up bud, hope you have a great season!!

[@alananderson1615]

backing up around the power line with that trailer... underated skill that was just glossed over. I watch all of Jacob Knowles vedeos as well. He does main lobster. Talks a lot about the fishery and cool things they catch, not just the 24/7 grind to make it happen.

[@nava8529]

Lindsey should be the manager of this operation. That way Luke won’t be so distracted. Keep him focus Lindsey ‼️

[@chuckt7636]

As an older guy that was brought up on NASCAR and restoring cars as some have already said Cleetus aka Garrett Mitchell is a go to. Then during covid through Chateau Diaries (this KZbinr is always upbeat and positive) I started watching Escape to Rural France. A guy much like Luke named Dan who never stops working. He purchased a burnt out Chateau and works non-stop to restore it. His channel just hit the 500k subs. Cutting out cable TV these guys made the lockdown bearable so I continue to watch their content.

[@dirt4dinner]

Ironic you ask...I was just watching Sailing Parlay Revival, with Colin and his crew. You and Colin always hit me as incredibly approachable and comfy on camera. When it comes that natural, it makes you instantly relatable. He has amazing content! I've been following him for close to 8 years now! Check him out!

[@Camoboy70]

Victory outdoor services is a great channel to follow. He's grown quickly and has good advice for business. Entertaining and has a large follow base.

[@markprocheska7302]

You are a good inspiration for the youth. Hard working, problem solving, enjoying what you are doing with a positive attitude. Great Content!

[@charlespendley6360]

I look forward yo watching your full video every week. I'm in Maryland myself. Your channel is something unique, so I wouldn't change anything.

[@Wil_Liam1]

My grandfather who hand built crab pots for both himself as well as all of the locals in low country SC used to tell me that one had to make the bait trap as tight as possible using either screening,or plastic sheething to prevent the water currents from stripping the chummed or ground bait from the trap before the crabs could find it...

[@Wil_Liam1]

The bestest thang bout them old school ice boxes is that during the hottest summers one can climb inside just before dawn and enjoy an ice cold frosty a dult beverage, or ten in cool laid back comfort without ever having to get up and go over to the cooler for a fresh one... 😎 👌

Victory outdoor service and you. Watching you guys makes me keep moving with my projects 😂😂😂

One of my favorite channels is Iron Trap Garage, like you the guys are down to earth and love sharing their knowledge as they work on their cars.

[@mikeyboost4life69]

Luke, I love listening to you making videos and talks. You are so honest and straightforward. It's crazy how many things you say that I can relate to to achieve. Like the only time I've been to a gym just every time I have to cancel my membership. Been there so many times lol. Keep up the great work man. Good luck this evening. Stay safe!

[@fallenbullseye]

Jimmy Oakes - I watch his videos religiously. He's hard working, has amazing style in tuner cars, and his crew is positively the same way. It's videos on mainly drifting and wrenching on tuner cars.

[@AnimalWhisper007]

My 2 cents I like to watch People being Real People ! You Rock don't change a thing ! You show what You know and also what You don't and allow The Fans to Learn and Teach along Your Journey of Life that You have let Us come along with You on !

[@ryfvideos]

Luke, Pole barn Garage, Junkyard Digs, Dawid does tech Stuff, CarsandCameras, Andrew Camarata, and Vice Grip Garage. I consider all of these "Guys who just make things work" any good channel with clear audio and a focus on reminding people good enough can be great, even if its just for today, is probably something I would watch regularly. I actually started watching luke because I grew up in Md, and spent alot of weekends recreational crabbing with my dad. the fact he also is a guy who just makes things work kept me around.

Also where you made the door at the back of the boat, consider cutting off that center post and adding a 2x12 or similar to make it a step and not a trip edge, since most of your traffic through there will be with hands full, you dont need the trip hazard if you can help it

In 1984 I was working on Shrimping Boats in Freeport Texas, I went to jump from the dock onto a boat and the only set of keys I had to everything fell off my belt and right into the water so I got a large magnet and found them in like ten minutes! God I was so greatfull!!!

Favorite KZbinrs - Travels With Geordie, Andrew Camarata, and Camping With Steve. Also...TimBatSea (tugboat captain), met him and he's awesomer in person than even his videos. But ultimately, this channel is pretty entertaining and educational. Keep on crabbin'!

FarmCraft101 and C&C Equipment. Both down to earth and straight forward. No over dramatic bullshit. You’re doing a good job man.

Cletus McFarland, JustKnate, DDE, HeavyDSparks, Mav, Fish n more, and last but not least Luke McFadden! These are my favorite and I don’t miss an upload. I watch mainly because I can relate to each of them in one way or another. You remind me of myself when I was younger, work yourself to death and always have a positive attitude. Keep at it and it always pays off, sometimes!

I remember watching Luke’s videos on TikTok, then I quit TikTok and he started popping up in my KZbin shorts from there I ended up watching the long format videos that got very fun and addictive to watch.

Letsdig18 is a heavy equipment guy that does a bunch of pond builds in North Carolina and he never asks for subscriptions or thumbs up he simply posts videos of his hard work and I think it’s just that simple.

Luke, when you've got seized hydraulic lines like you had, leave the motor mounted (as you figured out), and then instead of a 6 foot pipe, just grab a 5lb hammer and hit the box end of the wrench. The impact will get it off a lot easier than a bar.

one of my favorite you tubers is Watch JR go. He is always moving and putting out content. He does more then just cars, which is why I like him.

Just a thought. For display purpose, what about fake food blue crabs to show sizes. (if they make different sizes) Or find a way to pour (mold) clear resin over the right size to display. Make a display case or make a single block of resin that fit all 3 sizes. (or 2 sizes if you don't want to keep the small ones anymore.) 🦀🛥

Great job Luke! This Alaska fan admires your hard work and positive attitude!

[@brandonanderson6429]

Again, no idea how I found your channel but look forward to your videos each and every time. Cutting Edge Engineering and Fab Rats are probably my 2 favorites. Keep up the great work.

[@kevinbrown1549]

I enjoy watching Demolition Ranch, Matt Carricker, Roman Atwood, Cletus McFarland, Chelcie Lynn.

[@101doreen]

Clever with the shelving. This feels like an end of the prep for a Marathon. Now, On your marks. 💥 pew pew shot! Wishing you a successful season!

I know why I like the youtubers I follow, They have a good attitude, They dont call themselves experts (humble), they all are creators (meaning they create, build restore things in this world) and they all do things outside of the comfort zone which grows them as a person. Heres the short list: Ship Happens Acorn to Arabella Sampson Boat Co Vice Grip Garage 2nd Empire strikes back AVE Paul Harrell
