KZbin revenue from 1000 views ranges from 3$ to 18$. Unless you are getting 100k+ views consistently weekly then its not very viable. It could be much different now, though. Also drywalling pays well.

I just wanna thank every last person whose commented here! Nothing but positive thoughts! Which is extremely rare these days.

It could be one of the most positive inspiring videos ever and still here come the jerks to stir the pot for no other reason but just because they can! SO THANK ALL YOU GUYS FOR SHOWING ME THAT GOOD CAN STILL TRIUMPH OVER EVIL. PLUS GREG IS SUCH AN INSPIRATION TO SO MANY AND HE DESERVES NOTHING BUT POSITIVE FEEDBACK!!

That tipi is bigger than my first apartment! And I think it's bizarre that city folks are scared of the outdoors, but live in a hyper-crowded, hyper-competitive world that makes stealing a thing. You spend a good amount of time in honest struggle with the true world and you get really honest because even thinking about taking something, reminds you of what it's like to get screwed out of dinner by an otter you didn't see stalking your trout line.

Gary ...It wasn't me that gave a "Thumbs down" to this video before it even started. I'm just letting you know that. I find Greg's video's astonishingly informative on bush craft. However this one fell well below of what I would consider 'bush craft' in even the remotest sense. Relaxing in a Teepee watching a stupid movie could hardly be called 'Bush-craft' in any sense of the word. I love what Greg is doing...heck he even breezed through my town Castlegar where I live to get a new truck. I'd have liked nothing better than to have met him, had a couple of beers chatted with him and wished him well....Thing is when I see' Bushcraft' in the title I expect bushcraft. This video wasn't. It was simply living high off the hog in a teepee with satellite assistance. I'm looking for a herb he picks, puts into a mousetrap and drops a grizzly, not who was the best actor in Batman's Joker. Cruel as this may seem...and I hope Greg reads it ... I feel it needed to be said. Looking at the top of the page I see there are 11 'thumbs down' Sad to say I have to make it number 12.
