My Life Story & Journey to YouTube

[@jonheath3706]

Diego, You are the most engaging guy. So humble and diffident, and you have no idea how charming you are. I'm pretty certain that you will be successful. I can't wait to follow along.

[@agenttex7831]

I’m honored to call you friend, Diego. Love this story. Learned a lot about you that I didn’t know originally. Watching this got me all super nostalgic about what we did together for families all over the world. Super excited to see where you take things in the future on this channel. The music at the end of the video brought back a lot of memories of conversations we had about the first videos you edited for us. You were always an incredible listener, and the music you came up with for that series was right on point for what I was trying to accomplish. Just one small example of the many things that you did that were on point. Love you Agent Strong Man! 😉

[@davidmaier343]

I had to back track to this episode to see who you are. Awesome.

[@davidwear1461]

I would rather watch this life story than any made up one on tv. I’m glad the algorithm showed me your channel. P.S I live in Woodland wa so we’re pretty much neighbors.

[@georgekonetes5148]

Outstanding video man. I love the way you tell your story. This was great. So glad you are getting some traction and I pray it only escalates for you! One request, I know the family genre isn't what you are focusing on, but alot of kids are interested in the work you do. From tractors to plumbing. My 7 year old loves watching alot of your videos that you wouldn't think kids would like. Just be mindful of the language. There aren't many safe places kids and families can go. You can leave that door open and gain that share of the audience with no special effort, just be careful you don't do uneeded things that close the door. On my hunting channel, I've learned that 4 letter words gain 0 views, but they will turn away certain segments of the audience. There's nothing to gain. We love the work you are doing and I how things explode for, enabling to fund bigger and bigger videos. 🎉🎉🎉 go get em bro!

[@matthewtaylor1697]

And you thought you were not a teacher , You are a teacher of life.

[@bethanymoore1022]

Enjoy your spirit of keeping on. It is what keeps me watching. I didnt know anything about your past. Raising 2 kids in a camper with the same attitude. Blessings on your journey. Beth from Kansas

[@jmoo72]

This is very inspiring me and my wife just split up after 15yrs 2 kids but it gives me hope that if me and my wife can co-parent and be civilized and show the kids love in each household everything will be okay! Thanks for sharing this! I mean it!!

[@Outsidetrailsandwoods]

Easy to relate my dad was in navy we were constantly moving overseas and in us. When my mom remarried my step dad was awesome and we stayed in one place till we graduated from school.

[@gingerkoel5608]

Hey Diego, this story sounds somewhat familiar. One of our children finished college and moved straight up to Washington. It took several years and now she has built a life for herself. You have such strong skills and I know you will find what the next steps are. I have seen several people on KZbin start out slow and within a few months start to add interesting content, I am convinced that your numbers will grow faster than you think. Keep on going, you have this!

[@randystover3285]

Thank you for the backstory. I can see where your resourcefulness comes from with all your parents. Keep up the great work, and keep sharing your videos, love them.❤

[@64MAGA24]

I love your videos. I love your independent spirit and your obvious hardwork ethic. Keep up the great work and I’ll keep watching🤙

[@brandonnorris927]

Your an awesome person love your videos . I'm also from KY still live here . Very intrigued by your story and your videos .

[@TaylorZ2]

Diego that is fascinating. I wish more youtubers would do a personal biography. You are very well spoken! But one suggestion if you do further videos, make the lighting (when you're in front of the fireplace) a little lighter.

[@novampires223]

And drop the music, you are a great storyteller and don't need it😊

[@GalvTexGuy]

The title of your channel says it all, Diego. You do try hard and it shows in your videos. Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing your story. 👍🏻

[@suezaple4950]

You look like your father. My granddaughter is part asian You lived an interesting life when young getting to travel . I am happy your parents remained friends so you and your sister were still able to see your dad that is the way it should be , your fortunate to have a good step dad as well. Your doing very well in your life keep doing what your doing your smart, very kind and have some pretty epic skills .

[@loisvreeland7623]

Random comment lol: Best part of your cabin is the covered front porch. Protects from the elements when unloading, stairs wide enough, and an inviting entrance. Keep on!

[@rongray4118]

Thanks for sharing, Diego! Your Dad and I are about the same age. I was USMC 1987. Fantastic videos - thank you for helping all of us!!

[@michaelboom7704]

My eye caught your clip helping Al with his waterwheel even after telling myself You-Tube is taking too much of my time. Enjoyed you at Als place.

[@kehenabeach4418]

It’s so refreshing to see such a squared away KZbinr who helps neighbors and friends without asking for anything in return. Your parents and grandparents did an excellent job raising you and I’m sure your sister based on what you’re doing with your life. Don’t try and fit in the 9 to 5 grind and explore the world meeting and interacting with people… the world needs more people like you and less of the narcissistic shallow vapid me me me types! Stay strong and again congrats to all who helped in shaping and influencing your positive can do spirit! Mahalo for your videos.

[@laynesims8724]

Wow! Very struggling strong man! Liking you more, and will be the first to see more of your videos as always! Keep em coming! 🥰🥰💖💖

[@Wingman115]

Binge watched a bunch of your content. Your doing a great job with your channel. I’ve been a content creator for over 18 years and I know how much hard work goes into building a brand and a channel. You have a great gift of capturing the human spirit. Keep it up sir your doing a great job.

[@JA-zd4rz]

Your vids of Al brought me here. Please make more with him!

[@virgilviereckjr.6881]

Great video, And thanks for sharing. Pretty cool story as well. What drew me in was your firewood task. I use to do a lot of that too. And I also grew up in Washington State, up in Whatcom County. I’m a few years older than you, the youthful age of 64. Hang onto your youth, because I tell you, the grey hairs are coming. I’m a retired North Pacific, Bering Sea, and West Coast Commercial Fisherman and survivor. A profession with high risk, and very tough lessons. And a very interesting education as well. So nice meeting you my friend. But I do have some friendly advice for you, that I think you might already possibly agree with. And that is to, “Protect your back man”. Lifting those huge heavy rounds is dangerous to your back. But I have a feeling that this is something that you already know about. If you’re going to keep collecting firewood in the off season maybe there’s some sort of crane with a hand crank winch a guy could find, or maybe build,?? My son has a messed up back for the rest of his life. I’d hate to see that happen to anybody. It would be devastating to you. Maybe invest in a Warren wench, and mount it in the front of the bed. Invest in a roll bar, and also mount it in the front of your truck. Shackle a pulley to your roll bar. Run a cable from your wench, up through the pulley, or snatch block, then you’d have a lot of cable to reach out into your work area that you needed. I don’t know man, it’s just a thought. But protect your back man. Like a flat tire, there is no spare. And you’ll definitely feel it when you get older, if you know what I mean. Anyways, take care, all the best, and God bless. Sincerely, A retired North Pacific, Bering Sea, and West Coast Commercial Fisherman and survivor, ✝️🙏🇺🇸🗽🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊⛴️🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊⚓️🙋🏻‍♂️

[@findingpeaceofficial963]

Thanks so much. Love your videos. Keep up the amazing work. So proud of you. Have the greatest day ever, love and peace.

[@AKing99]

You are such a great story teller, I started watching you creating a garage "nook" for your generator 🎉, and enjoy watching your process. Seeing 8 ways to do something and watching you try 5 of those ways. You work hard, grow, and we are growing with you. We also love the respect u hv 4 other people and making them shine #Al #CabinLife. We are here for the "Stories", " Mr Rogers", #Neighborhood . Be the best version of you, be excellent and we will be here #DiegoTries ❤

[@ChristianDaland]

I love your videos. You caught me with Al´s waterwheel. Love your construction work 😀. Best wishes from Norway 🇳🇴🤠

[@dage8949]

lol, good to know your background - figured you have some Asian in you. I have a teaching credential also but not in the classroom anymore. One of your videos appeared on my stream. Never heard of Adventure Agents before, Keep up the good work

[@Nello353]

I,m so glad I found this today, I have been watching you for a bunch of videos and have been impressed with your hard work , your willingness to help your neighbor . It is obvious you were raised well. You do well tackling all obstacles that you face as well.

[@jaredj631]

I took my kids to one of the treasure hunts that you set up at the Davy Crockett national forest Houston! They had a ball. It was a lot of fun.

[@duke3326]

Only stumbled upon your channel from watching people felling trees in the USA. Subscribed because I liked your living off the grid content. Keep it up, bro. Wishing you all of the best.

[@leimanaabenes7]

Ahhh! No wonder, eres muy guapo! You look like your Dad. Hey! I seen that you were here on my island. Hawaiʻi Island, where i live in Hilo. 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

[@DenielBori]

I don't know how your video with Al came up but this video introduced the channel and you well. Diego, keep going and don't give up. Life is all that comes along the way. You just need to piece in them together.

[@jayelder123]

Oh Diego, you bare your innerself with this fantastic video! When we met in '16 knew you were/are a very unique person. I am so glad to have found your channel and have enjoyed the content you've provided. Well done Sir! PS I still am waiting for my Diego Tries Hard Tiny House!

[@mikelyon7748]

Really like how you put heart and soul into your videos. I look forward to every new video with great anticipation. Keep doing what you are doing. Can’t wait until your next video.

[@lendouma3224]

You have been fortunate to have such loving people around your upbringing. Your personality and character shows that in your videos.

[@nannpeterson2686]

I came across your videos by accident...an accident that i have said was a good thing....I am retired, have been for quite awhile and honestly am tired of watching politics, world news and I found that watching your videos I was intrigued and curious of how/why you are living the life you are. I have to admit, I am jealous of your location and lifestyle...oh to have had the guts to do what you did 20 years ago.....I retired from law enforcement and loved loved lo ved my career, but honestly I finally after 20 years just go sick of people, attitudes (both in the world and in the office)...and a life like yours is a dream...I lived in N. Idaho 2 times and also lived in NE Washington state....one of the two most beautiful states in the nation. Montana, my home state is number one with me....but WA has a special place in my heart. Please keep doing your videos so that "old ladies" like me can live vicariously through your adventures...

[@jessicafinnell7713]

I stumbled upon your channel a couple of months ago. My favorite channels are people showing the random projects and things they do. Funny enough they're often the same things my husband and I do, I guess it's entertaining watching others do it. 😆 Your videos are now in my nightly wind down time where I watch KZbin before bed. I appreciate your values and viewpoints you've shared as well. We share similar values. I'm also into health and fitness so I enjoy all of your content. Keep making videos. The first channel I ever subscribed to is a couple that sold their house, quit their jobs and moved from Oregon to Alaska and started filming their projects, day to day life, and hobbies and they do KZbin full time. They now have 739,000 subscribers. Go Diego! We're here for it.

[@lindasummer2343]

Sounds like Simple Living Alaska KZbin. Awesome couple.

[@pburgess888]

Thank you, Diego, for revealing your true self and your passions. It's refreshing to see such transparency on KZbin. I've always been curious about the person behind the videos, and it's clear from the way you interact with others that you're a genuinely kind individual. As a newcomer, I appreciate your content, and I think I'll stick around and see if you can teach this grandmother something new. Now, I'm off to catch up on your previous videos. Keep up the good work and always be humble and kind, until next time my friend..

[@robby8958]

Very interesting lifestory. I've just discovered your channel. I've subscribed and look forward to seeing your other videos. I've a big interest in homesteading, power tools, landwork, etc.

[@zelaznog65]

Diego, we share many similarities. I was stationed at Ft. Campbell, KY ‘88-‘92! My oldest son was born August ‘90 there at Ft. Campbell. I served with 101st during Desert Shield/Storm then got stationed in Germany ‘92-‘94. Wildflecken then Baumholder. I was part of the brigade move from Baumholder to here at Ft. Lewis. Been up here in the Great Northwest since ‘94! I’m happy to have come across your KZbin channel. Keep up the great work!!! 👍💪🇺🇸🫡

[@ramiroleal8902]

Great story about yourself and your family. Regards from the State of Kansas.

[@shirleyjames9697]

We thoroughly enjoyed this video!!! We are so grateful this worked out for you.

[@briantruth1463]

2 good dads… just one is a recipe for success these days. Very loved. But it shows in you resilience.

[@katz5434]

Hey Diego newbie to your channel I came across your channel a week or so ago watched the latest content had a look back on your older stuff pretty interesting. Your humbleness and non pretentious manner is a breath of fresh air love the content!👍

[@gregt5560]

Thanks for sharing Diego.

[@elizabethmckenzie6977]

A really interesting back story make me like you even more. Nothing like living the way you want. Just go for it

[@BogsKitchen]

I love your story man!

[@josephlwallssr6166]

Thank you , Diego! You gave a fun and interesting story of your life.Learning is a journey and you will continue to learn and marvel on what you discover! You have picked up some great skills along the way! Terrific video, s of cutting wood and helping your neighbor. Keep up the ausum work!🙂👌

[@shaneencalade4988]

And now here I am watching!!!

[@FairyBoots]

You are such a humble great guy and just found your channel. Really excellent format to your videos and calm style … I am from very urban Manchester UK and love watching Alaska homestead Videos, Truckhouse Life and families with alternative lifestyles. I find it fascinating especially the freedom you have to develop your own land in the USA. Keep the brilliant videos coming!

[@doombuddyfl]

Diego, I recently found your channel and am so glad you shared your back story. Keep up the good work.

[@tomlynchsr2075]

I think your math degree helped you solve the mysteries of the YT algorithm. It worked because that's how I got here. Great content, and you're a very interesting person. Keep going! Best wishes to you and your family.

[@gallowaylights]

00:22:29 * I still don’t understand this algorithm 😢

[@MarkAllen-p6z]

How wonderful! It’s always a good bet to bet on yourself!

[@CaliRootstoTennesseeBoots]

Hey Diego, I just started watching your videos. I stay up way too late going back on some of them. What caught my eye was you splitting shingles and getting cedar blocks for them with your neighbor. My arms hurt just watching you. I did a lot of wood cutting in my youth. Age catches up with you while I love cutting and splitting it's hard on the body and I can't do much of it anymore. I love your ingenuity, where you are homesteading and how you work with people. I plan to retire in TN and own acreage. I've always wanted space and more rural life. It's so beautiful where your off grid house is it makes me think of my near future when I can retire and make the move. Keep it up bud. I'm watching.

[@tinadouglas-d7m]

Diego, thanks for sharing your personal and private life. I enjoyed hearing your story!

[@TheWoodpreneur]

Powerful story Diego. Part's of your story I can relate to - even from the other side of the world, here in New Zealand.

[@lettieolivier8127]

Wow! Your story is an inspiration to a lot of young ones in the same situations. Thank you for sharing your history.❤❤❤

[@daveparsons2082]

I recently stumbled upon your videos. I wish I found it earlier. I can’t get over your energy. I hope you succeed in the KZbin world. So from Regina, Saskatchewan Canada I look forward to seeing more videos. Now I have to get back to my rabbit hole and watch more DiegoTriesHard videos. 👍

Great story‼️ Thoroughly enjoy your content ‼️ Vinny🇺🇲

[@howardcobb4656]

I’m late to finding your channel. This video fills in a lot of the blanks . Really enjoyed it. Unfortunately or fortunately however you look at it I have some catching up to do.

[@christophkaiser]

You're an awesome dude, I watch your videos because you try hard and you always are looking out for everybody. I see the way that everybody looks out for you and it's a beautiful thing.

[@jeannetsentas4399]

So glad I found your channel. I grew up on an island in Puget Sound, your videos bring back some beautiful memories of running wild, in bare feet , on the beaches and woods!

[@carolyn4520]

Interesting story on how you join KZbin. Now, let’s talk about that golf swing ⛳️🏌🏽🤭(only kidding, you have a decent swing) Continue you journey on KZbin and doing those projects (building a wood 🪵 shed 👍👍 and spend your time with you neighbor Al 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼)😎 🙏🏼🌏✌🏼🕊️☮️

Tu eres el tipo de persona en la que se puede tenerr una amistad para toda la vida. Gracias por compartir tu bonita historia de vida.

I’ve just subscribed here in the last few days, so this finding this intro is perfect timing. Looking forward to some interesting randomness. 😊🎉

[@secondwindtrailers]

I feel like we have some things in common, but I am way ahead of you in years, but not so far along in my dreams. I think I just didn't make some decisions soon enough to really have much of a shot at my dreams. I may have waited too long and not stayed focused. Good for you!! I am glad you're doing so well. I have very tiny business making Custom Teardrop (off-road style) campers... but it seems like the timing is always wrong, and it's never gonna leave the ground. I keep trying, but never quite get traction. Your story is inspiring. Keep going!!

[@carrottop8311987]
