My channel is just my name, Larry Musgrave. I have no plans to get involved with video editing and monetizing. I do not have time to sit at a PC and spend 3 hours fighting video editing. I hate that stuff.
I haul my Jeep to Rausch Creek Off Road Park in Tremont PA for some very aggressive rock crawling, and once a year a group of us go to Ouray/Silverton Colorado (not exactly rock crawling, more scenic) or Moab Utah for slick rock.
Rausch Creek is an amazing place, glacier tore through that area a million years ago and tore the heck out of the granite rock, left it in a shambles of rock sized from basketballs to small house sized rocks. You can destroy your rig easily there... great fun. Of course, it's a trailer only destination, you never what condition your Jeep will be when you come back out. Last fall I destroyed the body tub, one door, tore rear brake lines off, rear axle housing and "1 ton" tie rod. It's all fixed up for 2018 and waiting to go at it again![]()
I’m with Larry ^^^^. I too have a YouTube channel that I occasionally post videos to. YouTube has become my go to for information on whatever peaks my interest at the time. I look at my channel as paying back to the community with whatever useful info I might have in my head. I don’t monetize either, and with YouTubes latest YPP criteria, I’ll most likely never qualify anyway. I’m a one-man show that does it just for the fun of it. I don’t have the time or desire to post daily or even weekly videos. I post when I have something useful to share.
There are a lot of channels out there that cater to our interests, but a lot of them as has said, begin to just pump out useless videos just to get air time. I won’t mention channel names because I hold no ill will to the creators, but when they start posting ”sneak peeks” and other ”clickbait” just to get views, it turns me off and I begin to look elsewhere.
