WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN

[@frankvucolo6249]

Doug, I’m happy to see you. I’ve watched all your videos. When you talk about content and not wanting to put out content that has been done a lot on KZbin Tube, keep in mind that we are not always watching for the raw content. We are watching to see it from Doug’s set of windows. It’s the nuance, the technique, the thought that you put into it. Little things. Valuable things. You don’t just set out to do something, you set out to do it well, with forethought. That’s rare these days. I already know how to fix my equipment, buck a log or turn a wrench. But there are a few guys on YT that I still watch do it, and you are one of them.

[@OneEyeCustoms]

Thank you!!!!

[@michaelchyles]

@@frankvucolo6249 this is so well said! @oneeyecustoms ! Nailed it.

[@Salmomlox]

It was great to see you, Doug. Thanks for the update and letting us know. Congratulations to you and Autumn on your 35th wedding anniversary. You'll always be neighbor Doug for Adam and great job on coaching him over the years. See you on the next video. I always enjoy your content and humor. 🥰🥰👍🏻👍🏻

[@greatnorthern706]

Honestly Doug, your every day is pretty interesting. If it gets boring for you to film everything, so be it, but your videos are not boring me! Good to see you back!

[@digdrivediy]

Good to see you back at it Doug. The lids on the firewood baskets is brilliant. Personally, I think for content you should consider collaborations where you travel around the Midwest to coach, consult and organize other folks' work spaces. I can think of one shop in particular that needs your touch! But seriously, glad to see you're still busy and coming up with great ideas and willing to share them with us.

[@PurpleCollarLife]

I'm with you Neil - Neighbor Doug's traveling garage/shop organization consulting. He can start right here at our place, just a short drive from his house. Doug - let me know when you're coming over. :)

[@OneEyeCustoms]

Thanks Neil, I’d love to make a trip over and do some organization.😊

[@OneEyeCustoms]

@@PurpleCollarLifeChad, might be possible some time!

[@carlosjohnson852]

Doug.....let me assure you that your videos are never boring. They are very entertaining and full of useful content. Keep up the great work. Adam is great too.

[@brucebello2049]

We missed you DOUG! Thanks for laying out your focus, quite refreshing really, take care

[@AlexeiTetenov]

I would watch the same type of work over and over again! You're very interesting to watch and you share great tips!!!

[@harleyfiremedic7796]

Doug, do not sell yourself short. We are interested in how you do things and why you do things the way you do it. With that said, you do you and we will enjoy whatever you put out. Happy Anniversary!

[@ajlehn2]

Congrats and Happy Anniversary to you and Autumn on 34 years of marriage. My wife Sue and I celebrated our 51 anniversary in August. Love your videos, especially on shop organization especially in regards to tool storage. Also love to see you in Adam's videos. Glad to see you back.

[@vaughnmaurt5013]

Great to see you and ….ive never seen anybody do the water tank lid the way you did..so I always get something new from you Thanks

[@HarleyRiderMC]

Wow, your shop is like a hardware store. Amazing.

[@eveeastteam7518]

Doug, we watch your channel because of YOU! There may be a hundred other channels that do similar content, but they are missing the key ingredient, YOU! My husband and I look forward to your videos. Your organization is an art form that is a wonder to behold! Your “meticulousness” is something to aspire to. Now that my husband is retired, he spends hours in his shop organizing it and he’s used many of your ideas. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us. Happy 34th Anniversary to you two! ❤ We’ll be celebrating 37 next month! 😊

[@johnkirby6547]

Congratulations to you and Autumn on your 35th anniversary ❤. Thanks for posting the updates, your son's new patio looks great.

[@geofreypejsa54]

Glad you are back Doug! I recognize the huge work KZbin causes. Thank you for bringing the content again

[@crazyman3157]

Doug, my take is like many viewers, it is the process of the things you do, the planning, and the process of doing the things you do. You have a great way of explaining things and the thought process of doing things. Always great to see you and what the next project is. YT, to me, is like a car lot, all the same cars but each is unique is some way. You my friend, and that unique car/truck that keeps you coming back and is never boring even if other channels have done it already, you add a angle that others do not add, show, or explain the way you do. Watching you and Adam have that knack and are truly down to earth guys. Be safe and keep the great videos coming, no matter if it is done already, you are great at it and I always watch every single one and have since day 1. 👍🏻

[@TheWilco00]

Doug, I just found you--thru Mike Morgan. Man, I am impressed with your shop and tool organization. Now I have got to figure out how to go back and see the first ones. Take care

[@elaczi]

Doug, nice to hear your voice again. Good video. I think the vast majority of your subscribers would agree - we enjoy all your videos, even the “boring” videos. Always a new perspective and something to learn. I can understand the work and time it takes to record, edit, and upload a video. That part must get tiresome.

[@hsvkid]

Glad to hear nothing serious happened to you and you still intend to continue your channel. Now the release of your new videos will just be that much more of a treat.

[@TheCalWillden]

Hi Doug, we do love your videos. It is refreshing to see a person doing videos for entertainment rather than just putting out a video because they are a KZbinr. Keep it fun, keep it interesting. Just remember that what may be mundane to you is still probably very entertaining for us.

[@OneEyeCustoms]

Thank you for that!

[@toddpacheco4748]

Doug,it’s great to see you back with a little update about has been going on 😮😊❤👍

[@kevinmaxam2414]

Good to see you back and respect your approach on content. You always provide info and ideas in your videos. Happy anniversary to you both and congratulations on the years Be safe and be careful

[@ralpharvin2668]

Happy 34th Doug and Autumn! My wife and myself just celebrated another anniversary September 1st - 51 years for us. Both of us have been busy in the wood yard, too. We have to do things smarter (and slower), so learning from your videos have helped. Thank you and God's blessings on you and your family.

[@justinroberts3324]

Good to see you! Here’s a project idea for you. I have always wondered why nobody has ever built a stand to put their firewood baskets on while filling them. Elevating them I would think would be helpful on your back when they are empty. I guess the stand would be 18-24 inches tall depending on your body height and not to tall so you are not on your tippy toes once filled.

[@262dave]

Congrats on your 34th wedding anniversary! My wife and I celebrate 25 years this year in November!

[@jimjensen1414]

great job, you and ADAM, a great TEAM !!!! GOOD neighbors !!!!

[@jimjensen1414]

*NOT* boring, Doug, enjoy your content, immensely !!!!

[@robosborne9913]

Doug, Glad to hear everything is ok with you and thanks for the update!

[@jimjensen1414]

Your son's place, looks GREAT, I remember removing the BIG tree, in the back yard.....

[@mark02tj41]

Glad you're doing OK! I was starting to worry a bit! CONGRATS to you and Autumn!! Don't ever worry about boring us! Even little things like your firewood cage lids make your videos worth watching!

[@fabioforni5722]

Great to see you an I really like your content an your vision. Look forward to seeing what you come up with in the future.

[@JCWren]

Adam has grown up so fast :) It's hard when the kids leave the nest and don't need you anymore. FWIW, a lot of people watch channels for who the host is. Yes, you may be making the 10th or 100th video on how to sharpen a chainsaw or whatever, but when you have an engaging style and/or an audience that already watches you, there's value in that. I definitely enjoy the infrastructure and welding & fabrication videos more than cutting wood or moving deer blinds, but I watch them all. Perhaps consider putting out a video every two or three weeks, but at least on a regular schedule. And believe it or not, I was going to make a comment on Adam's video this morning about "Where in the world is Doug?" and this one showed up.

[@RJE6585]

Ive missed you Doug, I dont think I have ever watched one of your video's that I didnt come away with something useful in my life. For that I want to say thank you. Keep up the good work and until the next great video, stay safe.

[@rickfranklin2526]

Glad to see you making videos Doug and thanks for the up date, happy to see all is well with you and your family. I'm like you I married an older woman, I was 19 and she was 21 when we got married and that was 46 years ago.I enjoy all your videos and always learn something new from them. Happy Anniversary to you both.

[@l.j.b9863]

Welcome back Doug , missed you. Your such a likable guy, I'd watch you cutting your grass with a pair of scissors lol. Happy wedding anniversary to you both ❤️

[@crickettjd]

So glad to see you and Autumn; Happy Anniversary; my husband and I just celebrated our 49th anniversary!!! Nothing you do is boring to us Doug!!!

[@nealoehme5682]

Awesome friend and awesome neighbor… glad u guys have a great bond Adam and Doug

[@CzarManish]

Doug... I'm from India and I still watch your videos, don't stop making videos and don't think too much.. Your way of doing things is very informative and useful.. Cheers 🥂

[@K.P.Alexander]

Congrats on the 35th, Doug and Autumn! Also, I like the fact that you don't need to put out content just for the sake of it. Gives each video that extra little bit of soul.

[@markpowell4701]

It's not just the Wood or organizational videos but, you. Plus, congratulations on 34 years with Autumn. I miss just about anything you do but, pace yourself and hope to see anything you decide, soon.

[@richardwentland3489]

Glad to see you’re still kickin! I totally get where you’re coming from and appreciate it. I’m sure I’ll see you again (with valuable content).

[@kerrybowden9097]

Happy Anniversary, you have a beautiful home, and your shop is stunning.

[@stephenstorm9477]

Hopefully you guys had a good anniversary. A great wife makes my life a lot better. We enjoy what you share with us. I understand it takes a lot of time to film and edit. You need to enjoy time with your family. Thanks for the great content.

[@JimFinlayson]

Thanks for the update. I appreciate your insights. My recommendation, live your life, don’t feel any publishing pressure, and share when you feel like it.

[@GerardM37]

Thanks for the update and glad everything is ok. I think the fire bin covers was something original and deserved a video. I think doing a few small jobs put together could be put in one video. Your process of doing a project is different. You make it interesting and people do learn things.

[@upinsmokefirewood]

Good to see you Doug. Sometimes a break is nice!

[@OneEyeCustoms]

You got that right!

[@AlexeiTetenov]

Thanks for sharing!

[@jimconnor8274]

Nice to hear what's been going on. There's no quick fast way of cleaning up fallen tree branches and tops. Happy Anniversary to both of you! Doug you could go over and show Adam what a time saver a flex wing mower would be.

[@keithmueller2857]

Ya know Doug, we may have seen things done 52 times, but when you do it there is always a different twist to the task which is not boring to me anyway. So keep on videoing!

[@awstott]

Good to see a video from you. Glad everything is OK and you're just busy. Thanks for the update.

[@robert.brokaw3829]

Honest content Doug. Keep having fun. Smart idea on the bladder lids and pool noodles. Congratulations on your anniversary. Stay safe.

[@anthanydurham3379]

glad to see you back - I enjoy and learn from your content and from your prospective. TY

[@bigjimflying7195]

I too was wondering where you have been. After watching this video I can only say that I’m very disappointed that you didn’t video taking down the split up red oak. I’m sure there are other similar videos, but that would’ve been an awesome video. I also firmly believe that between your wife, Adam and other family and friends that you have it could’ve easily been videoed. Good luck to you and yours in the future.

[@boblynn1881]

Thanks neighbor Doug. I am glad you did not get hurt getting that tree out of my woods. I am glad you could use it.

[@OneEyeCustoms]

@@boblynn1881 thank you neighbor Bob!!!

I always disliked the pressure of creating new content. I just have too much going on to be able to concentrate on videos. Thank goodness I was able to sweet talk Bob into joining the team! Take care Doug, hope to see you at Bunyan!

And now Bob don't have time to create video content for his channel. :(

[@kingwood4357]

Good to see you again, your organization in the shop is inspiring.

[@TheFirewoodHut]

You're absolutely right about the 17vs; got mine 2 weeks ago. I like how you 'recolored' the Wolf Ridge Emblem on the splitter head (Did you notice that on all graphics, decals, & merch. that the wolf faces right; while the wolf faces left on splitter) Good to see you back on YT, Doug!

[@jjdoutdoors]

Great video & update Doug! Missed your educational content!

[@Deutschehordenelite]

Great hearing from you, very respectable to hold yourself to such a high standard with the videos. Very smart how you figured out the bladder lids, have never seen this before! You could do a video with a few clips of stuff you work on that might be interesting but not worth a whole video and do like an Update every one or 2 month with it :)

[@Riverguide33]

Welcome back, Doug! Adam insisted on a new vid from you….so he could stand beside you….he’s 6’5” you know! 👍

[@OneEyeCustoms]

Lol

[@michaelchyles]

glad to see you're back with another! Speaking for myself.. I don't care if you publish a video that's been done by other KZbinrs before. What I care about is that it's made by DOUG. Not wranglerstar, not the other guys etc etc. Your delivery is clear, thoughtful, and your good character shows and so there's often times when I just want to see what Doug has been working on because it's inspiring. I'll even throw on a video of yours while I am working in my own shop, even if I've watched it before because it is great to workalong with. Would've loved to see that hung up tree get broken apart, the deck re-hab etc. all of it. Thanks for the good work!

[@davidkettell5726]

I love that you know where everything is and where it goes . I remember when i worked at GM they came up with the idea of a place for everything and everything in its place which was a great concept but of course like everything else they do,management screwed it up.

[@Swamp-Fox]

Thanks for the update! Glad you are doing well!

[@jasonwelch8]

Keep the videos coming Doug. I think I speak for many of your viewers when I say, we may have seen something done many times, but we still want to see the way Doug would do it!

[@claytonreed5291]

Happy Anniversary to you and Autumn. Doug the reason I like watching your videos is you have a different perspective on things and that comes through in your video. For example I can tell you how many videos there are about stacking firewood in those baskets but this is the first time I seen the pool noodles used that way. Im pretty sure I have watch every video of yours and some have been on subjects that have been covered many times but I have always come away with a tip or trick from most of your videos. Keep up the good work with spreading your knowledge in the videos you make.

[@mikeramsay7682]

Good to see ya again! I'll be back for your next one, whenever that may be.

[@jordanglenna5136]

Good to see your content again. Good to see you and Adam in a video, again.

Glad your back. I will say it seems you dont have your normal enthusiasm as you had in the past videos. Hope your well. Missed you on Adam’s channel as well

[@cedarwings82]

Great video, Doug! Giving ya a thumbs up!

[@jimwiskus8862]

Hey Doug, first of all, congratulations to you and Autumn. 34 years is an accomplishment these days. Chris & I will celebrate 45 years this October. You guys are a great role model. Ok, now, you are so far from boring, not even close. You are a teacher and encouraging to all of us. You’re the fellow who finds the better way. Look at the blue foam protection you added to your totes. I would have never thought of that. Just thinking about that big red oak that’s at Bobs, will that fit on Adams mill?? Maybe the guy that dropped the tree in your son’s yard could get that out of there. If Adam was willing to flip for having the remainder of that red hauled over, he could produce some serious oak lumber. Again that’s providing that tree will fit his mill. So good to see you and Autumn. All the best Doug. You’re kind of family to all of us out here. ❤😊

[@richardmain8059]

Welcome back Doug, nice to see that Dougifacation have not gone away. With the amount of tools you have, do you still find that you have to go out and buy more? You’re a good neighbour staying away until you hear your name being called in the breeze that stir the leaves and echoing through the woods making the timbers shake. All the items that you have caught up on express your style and well done Doug creativity. I like what you’ve done at your Son’s Place, it must feel like the living space that is worthy of a celebration smile area every time they use it. Be well Doug as you continue to Live Long and Prosper in so many ways. 😀🖖🖖🖖

[@frijoli9579]

Doug, never think your content is the same as anyone else. Your view point and organizational skills and your analytical ability is why we watch. It's never going to be the same as anyone else did it. Having said that, don't do videos if you aren't going to enjoy it. Be sure, if you make a video, I'm going to watch!

[@BissellMapleFarm]

I still like the "Doug Call" in the woods. Classic. Hope to see you at Bunyan!

[@DonSherman]

Doug, thanks for the update. I personally enjoy the style of video that you make and I think the little nuggets of knowledge that you add to what would otherwise be one of a thousand other videos make your videos worthwhile. I am sure content creation is a hamster wheel of a grind and not a life that I would want. That said I really enjoy when you make videos and I hope you continue to as much as you want.

Good to see you! Understand your ‘reasoning’ but we enjoy your content - period. Looks like you can take that stump in 1/4s; lean your excavator on it as you cut for safety. Then pull the 1/4 down if it does not fall. That’s me looking at it from Phoenix. 😊👍 Happy anniversary. (If you want more, I wouldn’t mention a-g-e….just sayin.) You will always be needed - Adam is 6’-5” you know….

[@ThePrevo02]

Hey Doug, good to see you back. Not sure why you need to justify your time to a video viewing audience. Either way hope you enjoyed your summer and please don't make excuses for taking the summer off, it's not a good look. One more thing I wanted to mention is to avoid your fan base from wondering if you've fallen off the face of the earth, there is a wonderful tool available to YT'bers called community. In there you can post updates like "hey all, just taking the summer off have a good one, see you in September". That way people aren't posting wanted posters on other channels. Just saying.

[@winsurfer123]

Happy anniversary you two.

[@jamesbainton]

Doug - I think you underestimate yourself. Most of us has seen wood being split a thousand times; but what we haven't seen lately is Doug splitting wood. Same as listening to the same song for the thousandth time - it is still very enjoyable to watch! Most people just want to see what you are up to which is part of the story.

[@doozerakapuckfutin]

I bet I can speak for most Doug when I say that "we can wait Doug " I’d be happy with one a month is cool by me - that said I was concerned as to are you and your family where ok .
