Spoken like a true escape artist, make trouble, and then run when the fight starts.

When I started watching I didn’t know anything about chain saws or home stead’s. Now I have my own home stead and my own chain saw, chickens , cows and trucks. I’m here for the ride. Thanks

Someone once told me, even something you love to do, becomes a job when you have to do it. He was a hunting and fishing guide in Alaska. And he said there were days he didn't want to do it, due to illness, tired, or other, but he had to, because he had to make income to feed himself and his family. Even though he loved it, it became a job.

I'm 28 and I grew up without a father figure so these videos give me that bond I didn't get growing up. Thank you and no matter what kinda of content you create. I'll be watching thank you and enjoy yourself. You deserve iy

Been here since I was 13 I’m 22 now you have alway been my go to for fatherly advice and how to be a good worker and take pride in my work. I don’t want you to leave but if you do I understand. You’ve helped me get closer to god and taught me so much. Thank you for everything and if you keep making videos I will always watch. I will keep you and your family always In my prayers.

We're here for YOU Cody! Do what you love and we'll love what you do. ❤

I personally follow you because I like you as a person, Cody. You and I are completely different people. I’m an urbanist living in Europe. I don’t own machines, don’t know what a well or a real forest is, or even own a car. Totally fine by me, perfect even. We’re living totally different lifestyles, and I feel enriched because everytime I watch a video where you do just you my little bubble expands just a little big bigger. No advice, just my two cents.

Once you said this 😂😂😂😂😂😂👍😎

As a viewer and fan since your first off grid homestead, I say do what makes you happy. We’ll be here to watch and enjoy. Thanks for all the years of great content Cody!

You have been one of my biggest inspirations Cody. I didn’t have a great father, being surrounded by gangs and drugs. Since I’ve found your content almost 3 years ago, I’ve gotten sober, I’m currently training to be a wildland firefighter, I have an amazing bond with my family of which I had never had before. And I am happy. Am I horrified at the injustices of our country? Damn right I am. But to know that I can look forward to learning something new with you every week is a pleasure and I get excited still every time I see a new video. Even if you quit KZread, please don’t stop making content, because there are people that value what you put into the world.

Whatever you are working on, it's the integrity to do your best, the family values, the desire to learn more, and helping others that draws people to your channel.

Hairpiece looks great by the way. Continue the force feeding. Hell, up the dosage!

I stumbled onto this page around 2019, in the depths of a midlife crisis and deep depression. Your content was a cornerstone that helped me turn it all around. Having worked in Hollywood for 25 years, I completely agree with your synopsis. Genuine KZread is much better than the silver screen could ever hope to achieve, especially for those of us who have awakened from our Egoic Mind prison of the system. Thank you so much for the 1000’s of hours of life enriching contentv Cody. I’ll be here for whatever you upload.

I follow your channel because I like the things you're a passion about. Many of us are passionate about those same things. We learn and love the education you put forth..it is most appreciated. Being a from the country single mom 😂 I taught my childern alot..Ive learned alot from you and so have my 2 children over the years..your knowledge, wit, and dry humor will live forever in all of us...❤

Im just hanging in there until Google sells YT to someone else that allows it all to be shown again without fear of upsetting the advertisers...I still LOVE KZread but the restrictions on types of content is the biggest hit to the platform...I side of freedom, it would be nice to get more freedom back...

Remember Mr.W you reach alot of folks with the gospel on this channel! Also we love your content! Cheers

Bless you beloved. Thanks for everything

You are the reason I watch your channel, not the content you make, but you yourself. So no matter what you put up I'm going to be watching it. You brought the word of God back into my life, something I never knew could happen, so I can never not listen to what you have to say Sir. Thank you and your whole family.

Cody, please continue to make content that interests you. The overwhelming majority of your videos I always enjoy. If there’s something I’m not interested in, I move on to another video. Not sure why that’s difficult for others. Keep it up, sir. I’ve learned a lot from you.

Cody quitting KZread remains one of your favorite frequent topics. Scotty Kilmer is the same. Cracks me up every time I see those I’m Quitting titles.

Love Scotty Kilmer! And I thought he died at least a couple times! I have the best used car because of him!

I've been a long time subscriber to your channel and I watch episodes you post if they interest me. I can only imagine the stress to hit something imposed by KZread's algorithm. Appreciate the epic level of effort it takes to create and share useful/interesting videos, no matter the topic. I've learned and enjoyed much thanks to you. Wishing you only continued success no matter how you tweak things.

I watch your content because you're a good man and you know a lot about a lot and I always learn something. I couldn't care less about dirt bikes, and I doubt I'll ever be doing maintenance on heavy equipment, but you still make it interesting enough for me to watch and enjoy.

My favorite thing to do in the winter as a kid was go in my grandpas old shop sit by the wood stove and try to find all the sockets that go in a set and put them back in the original tool box. I still keep the 1/2 set in my flat bed today

Really enjoyed the live streams. Spoken from the heart and very therapeutic. Miss them.

Hi Wranglestar, longtime follower here. I am excited by almost every one of your videos. I hope you don't quit KZread. It is my preferred way to get news and learn new things. Thank you for all the great advice and sharing your authentic self!

I absolutely think you should do what you want to do. I love coming to this channel because it feels like we’re in the shop with you. I’ve been starting a KZread channel of my own for about a year now, I’m taking the approach you just stated, and it really feels like you build the most genuine connection with the viewers that way. I’ve loved your channel for a long time, and I’ll still be here regardless of the content.

I really appreciate this heartfelt video. I'd rather watch content like yours than watch television, which I very rarely watch now. I have so many more things of interest that keep me busy that I don't have time for watching sports, network shows, and the like. I work swing shift, and get up early to have coffee work me wife, then I'm off to get things done. Keep up the great content, Wranglerstar!

I watched you change the oil on a skid steer. I live in an apartment in a city. You can do whatever you want, I find your stuff compelling.

Man, I just love your content, throughout the years. It has been fun watching your family grow. Love the tinkering. That is the way you should be, and the way your son and daughter’s future kids will love to be around and learn from. My Grandads taught and meant so much to me.

…and I love the cold plunging!

I have a very strong feeling that the content that you want to make is the content I want to see regardless KZread’s silly algorithm.

I couldn’t agree more Cody, bring back the OG era of Wranglerstar!! The day to day life of a modern homestead is what originally brought me in along with all the information and knowledge about everything from snow blowing, removing/ installing fence posts to gardening… ect. I have been here personally for over 5 years and love what you do but yes it’s gotten away from what you used to do so if that’s your passion or snowbikes/ dirt bikes or just changing the oil on your trucks, I’m here and can’t wait to see what each new episode bring you for joy so we can watch and indulge! Keep up the amazing work and god bless you and your family!!

Ten years ago, I was looking for info on KZread that were related to off-grid living and sustainability. The first video I came across was Wranglestar's sharing of how to put together a ram pump and also improving on it's efficiency. This channel has great content . Some of the content is useful or entertaining for me. Some I'd care less about. But that content creators choose to share their knowledge, skills, ups and downs, and various stories, goes to show how much enthusiasm and passion they have for their craft. Those are the exciting things about watching and choosing what to watch on this platform verses what's fed to you on paid platforms. Thanks for opening your heart Cody.

I 100% relate to this. Same exact feeling with youtube happened to me. I'm making the same change to share what I I'm excited to work on no more chasing views.

I could definitely see myself following you in some other manner. You have a way to teach that is priceless.

Just do what you want. I don't ride dirty bikes but i enjoy learning about them from you, and learning other things. Keep up doing what you want!

I think my favorite video was the old one where you showed off your first double-barrel stove, the used oil dripping in to super-charge it, and listen to you describe your morning routine of starting a fire, read the Bible, and appreciating some peace and quiet. That was very genuine. I've been chopping wood and stockpiling it to put my first barrel stove in the new barn we just built. Can't wait to fire it up on a cold winter morning! God bless!

I was walking thru a fair one time and a guy was painting cartoon character type portraits of people for $20.. Behind him he had a bunch of paintings of abstract style art looked weird.. I asked him if he painted those too? He said he did and that was his real love.. painting those weird paintings… Yet he was starving due to no one wanting to purchase those … the way to survive was to paint stuff people were willing to pay for … the cartoon pictures of themselves… he hated it .. yet he needed to eat… if what you love to do pays the bills .. great ! If no one continues to buy your paintings .. then do something else … right ?

Cody, My favorite video of all was made on your previous property. Your whole family was enjoying the snow on the beautiful land. It was a joy watching you all having such fun together. ❤ Blessings to you and your family in whatever you decide.

I totally get this. I've recently decided to just do content that I am interested in. Don't care about Vid IQ subject recommendations, don't care how often KZread wants videos from me. I'm doing KZread for me

I remember finding you when I found my way to the wonderful technology of the ram pump. I remember how inspiring it was to watch you make the water tower over your garden. I just bought a adventure bike this last year and am going to ride this summer. I miss the days when TedTalks inspired wonder, and makersfairs lead us to empowering people with open source possibilities. I remember KZread was a space for sharing knowledge and growing together. Whatever you need to do for yourself I support that, for whatever thats worth. And thank you for showing your work, I for one have enjoyed your ingenuity and appreciate the knowledge you’ve so openly shared. God bless.

I always enjoy watching you tinker in the shop , while I’m tinkering in my shop. Was excited about watching you rebuild your dirt bike.

Came here to watch you buld a well on the side of a mountain. Eventually met you jack and ms w in Amsterdam over pancakes 🥞 bought your book 📖. Happy that you have been part of our life experience 😀. I no longer watch yt. i find solice that somewhere under the volcano 🌋 you tinker away in your shop. Having the best of times. weather you fim it or not.

Genuine is king of content, be as you are. Keep connecting your passionate perspectives, since they are what connect us al for a greater good. Whether thats’s god or ‘the community”, or self Development, etc.. It’s the love for learning to live life, with help from the new and derived from the old. To me you are a connection to learn together…

Thank you for the reminder! As a very small channel trying hard to grow, it is really easy to lose sight of our "why".

3:10 is very well put. You just solved something I was wondering about myself.

Well said, Cody. It is funny I have watch majority of your videos. And I have just started re watch your old ones. Which absolutely love from ram pump, fire skid etc etc all great videos 👍 glad your going do what you want to do. Can't wait to see your new up loads. Would be great if could find time fo cheapest amazon tools. They where so funny to watch and educational.

This is great to hear. Look forward to seeing whatever you decide to upload. Fair play to you

Good for you on coming to this realization. Your own peace and happiness reflects to your family and those closest to you. That is more important to them and to you in the end.

Started seeing your Wildland Fire content years and years ago. I’m a Wildland Fire Fighter medic after many years working street Ambulance. Everything you said about the PNW is true, and you’ve been an uncle on this strange and wonderful journey. I follow because you, as a person, illustrate the kind of man I’ve wanted to be and the silverbacks who started in the 70s pulling on patients. Do what God calls you to do, and no more. God bless you & your family. You continue to bless me in sharing your labors.

Good on you for following your heart.....you don't owe anyone here anything. You make videos that you enjoy making and sharing with others and those that want to watch and follow along will....those that don't will "vote with their feet." Keep on enjoying what you do as long as it gives you the Fizz.

Do what brings you joy. Thank you for the content you create, I never miss a video!

I really miss the old school morning woodshop videos and content like that from back at the old homestead but life does change and our world has changed a lot since those days. If you post something that strikes my interest I'll watch , if I'm not interested then I'll just scroll on from that. Do what makes you happy just as the rest of us shall do.

You said “looking over your shoulder “. When I was in 7th grade I had an old XR80. A few months into it I blew the top end. The local motorcycle mechanic told me it would cost X to fix it. I was just a kid and didn’t have any money. I asked my father for it and he told me he wasn’t paying for it. So I went back to the motorcycle shop and talked with the owner and we made a deal. He said come to the shop after school and clean the floors &windiows / wash bikes ext and I’ll pay you $5 an hour. He said I’ll start the job when you have made enough money to pay for half of it. Of course I said yes. Fast forward 6 or 7 years I could work on all my own bikes / equipment. I learned a lot more then how to fix motorcycles looking over his shoulders. He also became a life long friend. 40 years later I still wrench on all my stuff. I have a garage full of quads, dirt, bikes, and equipment. Carpenter by trade, welder / all around handy guy as a hobby

I've commented already, but I'll comment again because this is another point I'd like to make. I am not ashamed to admit that I can listen to your videos as I go about my day just listening to you explain things and talk about current events in my ear. You have a way of expressing things that gives me a sense of calm, even if yhe topic is serious. So thank you. If you had a podcast I'd be a lifetime subscriber.

Based, thank you for the inspiration, this has been my mindset finally starting my channel. Felt called to do it when I was traveling and running around five years ago, but didn’t want to partake in the money chase either so I never followed. Now I’m in it to leave a story for my future children god willing, and to teach the up and coming youth wisdom and how to videos.

I hear you. Not a youtuber but a home improvement contractor. I started as 1 guy 1 truck 1 man jobs. Did well grew it over 20 years. To full service 3 employees, 3 vans, slew of subs.....I didn't run the business it ran me. So now wife and I quit and move of Long Island to a small town in PA to live a simple life. Sure I'll start another business. But the need for money is no longer there. Semi retirement at 38 yes old....do what you will. Life is too short.

I just started my channel this year and it has gotten way more traction than i ever thought it would. I completely understand how people can fall into the trap. I started it to help people and share what little i know about welding and pipelining. I can see how people can be drawn to making it a business.

I watched the whole mailbox video. Not because I cared about mailbox’s. I’m here for the lessons and teachable moments in any project you could do

You are one of the main people that really got be into watching KZread on a regular basis. Your passion for homesteading and life is what I’ve enjoyed. I encourage you in this journey.

I personally love to keep up with you because I have same interests and sharing tips idea is great and people will just follow you whatever you do. What you said about not enjoying the old habits and love for that have shifted just like you said. I kinda felt that because it is little sad too. Maybe we can build a new clan after sun go boom and disasters where good values must be preserved.

That’s exactly what I do. I like making my videos and I’m sure I could improve my subscribers count if I went more high tech but I tried it a bit and lost my drive and stopped making videos for a good while. Now I’m back to doing what I like and could care less about the monetization. I don’t make enough to care on here but I genuinely enjoy making my videos. Glad to hear I’m not the only one

Have to say i enjoy your content. I only recently ran across the channel (last year or so). In the end the only thing that matters is your personal happiness so if the direction of your content changes or you stop. I would be good, i will still watch. Rock on with your bad self!

Thanks for sharing with us!

I love your heart and the fact that you do not care about the algorithm. Sharing the enthusiasm of what you are truly excited about. Thanks for sharing I watch because I like most of the things you do on your channel but mostly because I like who you are and and what you belive in. Shalom

Love the genuine message and getting back to what makes you happy doing your videos. I've been a subscriber since I was 18 and I'm now 27. Myself and I'm sure many others are excited for the simple videos by the fire and momma kitty working on small and large projects that you enjoy versus what the algorithm enjoys.

I appreciate you so much. Iasked my nephew to watch your channel.i have told everyone i can about your channel. You have taught not only men but also women so much about a variety of things. Most importantly..how to be a kind Christian like human. Blessings to you and your family always. 🙏

Cody, you hit the nail on the head; the authenticity is the big draw. I have learned so much from you and I thank you for that. I have no doubt that whatever it is that interests you and you decide to put onto your KZread channel. There’s something I will also find interesting and will learn from it. Thank you for your work and thank you for your inspiration!

You are absolutely right you should have a dynamic job you have passion for and do what you love and spread your passion. I notice in med school that you last longer with what you do and much more pushbacks will not break your love for that job so easly. I would imagen a life like that too where all could do this and just shift over to something else if you presume that. That is a healthy point of view in my opinion :)

You're right I don't particularly like motorcycles and and i've never been snow biking. As of matter of fact i've only seen snow twice in south georgia. But what I do like is watching you work on your motorcycles with a passion and enthusiasm that I have for things that I like. So as long as you make content for motorcycles, chainsaws, preparedness whatever it is, im going to watch it cause I enjoy it.

I uploaded my first KZread video in early 2007. 17 years ago! I haven't uploaded a longform video since early November, over 3 months ago. I'm like you, we started for the fun of it. The joy of sharing content. I'm older than you and the love of it is challenging now. All the best to you and your family.

People grow and change if they wish to become better. I started watching treehouse videos. I don’t always agree with everything you say, but I love you like a brother (we’re neighbors) and respect what you’ve accomplished. Follow your heart and do what YOU want to do. I’ll consume the content that I’m interested in and ignore that which doesn’t work for me. Peace to you and yours.

me personally I like your educational stuff I like your tips and tricks the things you learn from experience with other men

looking forward to whatever you bring to the table. Do what you love and love who you do ;)

Emancipation from algorithmic slavery will be great for everyone! Excellent plan, looking forward to seeing what you come up with next!

I became a content creator to document my journey on my regenerative homestead in central Montana, but if i can i would love to beable to make a living off of youtube so i can grow the ranch organically. If a person is going to do something do it to the best off your abilities and keep trying to learn more every day.

YES SIR! That's the way to go. It's probably good for some (!) creators to be able make some decent money on YT, but frankly the commercials suck hard these days. Particularly if you want to watch a few videos in the row. Thank you for sharing your passion with us. Greetings from Germany!

Thank you for your honesty. I’ve been with you for over a decade, watching your family grow and learned so much from you. Just be you. God bless you and your family.

woo yeah finally going back to that log cabin build!

All respect to you, I stopped making content on insta, in the beginning it was because i really wanted to share outdoor skills, and learn new! I soon understood that i did things for likes and that alot of people just want to know what brands, gear to buy- the skills come lowest in the list! I am happier now, actually teaching kids in real life how to enjoy the outdoors. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Been here since ~fall 2016. Still enjoying what you choose to share with us. Learned a lot, for which I am very grateful. Excited for what's to come! Look forward to seeing more from you and yours. Greetings from the country you just came back from 👋🏻

Your videos are timeless. You are one of the few KZreadrs who can completely ignore the algorithm and still have tons of reach. So do you, and post whatever you feel like sharing. Your videos have actually introduced me to topics, tools and hoodies I had never even considered. So thanks. I’m happy to be along for the ride.

Thank you there are a few of you tubers that get up and record what they are doing. Good or bad ,but it's real life . That is what I like to watch. There is a channel that I enjoyed building there cabin it was great , now it's a different power source every week from a different company. One big advertising channel

I was a child when I started watching you. My father was involved in my life but he was a different type of man, he did have the knowledge of homesteading you do. Coming to your channel was like having a father figure to teach me everything my father didn't know how to teach. I've learned so much from you Cody. Provided you continue to enjoy it, I hope I can continue to learn from you. Thank you so much for being you!

Cody, I'm really happy to hear this. The reason I became a subscriber is because you inspired me to want to do more than I was doing as a homeowner and a 'manager' of my family and property, as well as the window it opened onto your life and family and how you live, a little slice of which I wanted to recreate where I am now. And of course, because you were unashamed to talk about the word of God. I will follow you whatever platform you choose to continue on. My only concern is for your income and ability to support your family, but it sounds like that may not be a problem even if you left youtube. Blessings on you brother.

Cody, if there's one thing I admire about you, it's always been your honesty. Your content arc is the stuff of legend. I started watching when your timber frame was stolen. Now I get to learn all kinds of stuff from forestry to civil disobedience tactics lol. Keep making what you wanna make, the real ones will be here. I wouldn't be mad about you going deeper on Ham radio and setting up an LP/OP though either.

I believe you're right bout movies and YT my brother,I lost interest the same way I think you are able to explain what I couldn't yet,thanks God bless y'all

The antlers overhead had been chuckling whole video. Deer-man

God bless you, Wranglerstar!!! Stay true to what brings you joy & fulfillment!! 💖🙏🏻🙏🏻💖

Started watching you about two years ago as an East Coast Transplant now a West Coast PROHO your videos got me into volunteering with the fire department and wildland firefighting. I love the outdoor knowledge and that of a past life as well best channel in the KZread

very well said, feeding the machine can get old,

I really enjoy your tool videos. Have bought some of the products you have featured and have not been disappointed by any of them. I have been around this sort of thing for years and its great to see the new and revisit the old. Hang in there buddy.

I’m glad you’re saying this. So many great creators that I used to LOVE watching have changed to follow the algorithm and their content has suffered. Some so bad, I can’t even watch them anymore. Not going to lie, I used to watch you until the algorithm changed you. But after this, I’ll be watching to see what you have coming. Thanks for speaking for all of KZread

Cody... I have learned and grown a lot from watching you.. I can stay that I am a better person today from learning and hearing your thoughts insights etc.. you stated that you loved movies, well not to be trite but to borrow line from an older movie "... if you build it they will come... " I truly believe in that, which is what got me into your channel many years ago.. Please keep on building and we (I) will come to learn and grow together on this journey we are all on.. Your Passion for what love is inspiring and while I am not going to be rebuilding a motor cycle anytime soon your process and attention to the details really resonates with me if things I do around my homestead.. Keep up all the great stuff..

I love when you simply share what ever gives you joy or the "fizz" as you call it in that moment.

Sounds a great move to me, look forward to more of the passionate tinkering, fixing and making stuff - making and sharing stories - change is here to stay.

9:21 I want to see you go paintballing with Jack, or cracking off a few rounds at the range, more ice plunges lol. Your wisdom is what we value the most, it’s the reason why your son is the man he is and it’s refreshing to see.

Wanting to share in an educational way is why I started making videos. It takes so much time to put together those types of videos. The algorithm doesn't play to me. Lol. I don't get much traffic and have a really small subscriber base.

Cody you are human, a husband and father. You did what you felt you needed to do to provide an awesome life for your family. Have fun with what you do. People will watch and do t worry about what they comment or say. You and I have emailed a few times as well as Mrs W. I have learned a lot from watching your videos. I do miss your wildland videos (10 years and going myself this season) but HAVE FUN!
