Remember, people are people, whether they are clients, bosses, or competitors. Not sure how you see Dave, but treat him as a friend, don’t get too caught up with “growth” that you see others a as stepping stones. Don’t wait to “hear from people” while never taking the time to say “hi” yourself.

yeah completely agree. I don't know how you are doing and how your relationship with Dave is going but if I was in your shoes I would probably want a guy like Dave as a friend. he just seams like someone who can motivate and help out if needed. so I would probably try to combine KZread and going on jobs with Dave. ofcore I don't know the full details of if he doesn't let other film during rescues or other jobs. but you could try talking things out. and maybe do vlog type videos for your channel whilest doing jobs with Dave and the crew.

Wow, okay , you're good young man and Dave I'm sure knows that, reach out to him as well , he did it several times now and I'm sure we don't know all of the truths , but thanks for keeping it between you and him if it was negative , we should all work together and maybe once in a while you will find the time to go along and if you get to busy , he is to and Dave should understand that as well I'm sure, Dave is a good guy he probably sees himself in you a bit , I subscribed to your channel and will be watching it now and make up for the few I missed and I will give a like , hope that helps. Good luck, you have a following, so it will get out soon enough your on your own , hell I just saw this tonight for the first time so !

Hunter it's so good to hear you're doing well! It's also good to see that Dave has reached out to you a few times, so it sounds like he probably understands how your fledging and trying to leave his "nest" so you can make it out on your own. I think that's awesome! Congrats on hitting 100k subs! That must have just happened in the last 24 hours.. in your video you mentioned you were close. I really appreciate your honesty and sharing what's going on. I like a lot of your videos, especially when you're talking to us when you're doing the builds. I cannot imagine how difficult it could be to talk to a camera, but I've noticed that when youtubers master that interaction that it really helps make it feel like we're there with you during every phase of the builds. It also builds a connection that draws us in to wanting to watch more. Keep up the great work, and success will keep building!

The humility and honesty you put forward in these update videos is admirable. I think you’ve earned the respect of your subscribers. Keep up the good fight my friend.

Good job Hunter. Super happy for you. You have my full support.

Hunter, congratulations on chasing your dream but also remembering the steps of your journey. Being humble and grateful in life will always propel you forward. I admire the integrity you showed in this video. You will do great things in your life! I wish you all the best life has to offer you!

Make sure Dave isn't the only one reaching out brother. It would do you well to reach out and do a recovery now and then and keep a relationship with him because he really seems like a good dude and worth missing a couple youtube days for.

This is the best advice for Hunter in this situation. The reality is Dave gave you a great opportunity and managing any kind of separation at this point is about not burning bridges. You’re still young and your reputation is everything especially in this crazy social media landscaper you’ve chosen. Good luck!

As a business owner I could never be mad at anyone bettering their life. Congrats on your growing 👏 and never give up .

Well spoken Hunter, your humility is a gift that will always provide for you, be blessed.

It’s cool how you are working towards your own goals with such enthusiasm and started building towards your dream. Just do what you need to do.

Thanks for your straightforward explanation of all that’s going on. You just answered all the questions I had. And you did it with class. I enjoy your content and I’m here to stay and I’ll keep “liking” and “commenting “ and sharing to support you. Thanks

Best video yet. I love that you poured your heart/feelings out. We, your fans/viewers, live vicariously through you!

I love the fact you keep it real. Stay humble and only good things will happen. I love seeing what crazy stuff comes out of your brain.

You’re story inspired me so much, you’re journey in finding Dave makes me confident you’ll be successful. You have the die hard attitude

Glad you cleared all this up. Keep up the insane content, but don't get hurt. Loved the one you did in Florida during the hurricane.

Hunter don’t worry about it it’s all personal growth Dave will understand

Tell you what when I hear someone actually speak honest words and not degrade people to better themselves deserves a subscribe

Very humble and positive transition video. Wish you luck on the future endeavors! And I’ll keep watching your videos!

Good for you Hunter, you have to live your life for you, not for others. Also, I've been really unhappy in my job lately, so you've no idea how much I needed to hear this. You've got a great future ahead!

It's difficult to work on someone else dream while trying to give wings to your dream. But you took the plunge buddy, spread them wings and fly. Dave had to start somewhere too. Just keep at it thick and thin, failure is not bad if you grow from it. I think failure is a huge part of success. All the luck to you in the new beginning, my friend.

Hunter...brother...this is a PHENOMENAL upload and your clarity, ambition, strength and courage are so admirable! This shows maturity in more ways than one bud. I personally felt that listening to this was a gift. I too am in a rut...that I've tried several times and ways to dig out of. Unfortunately I need something I can't obtain.

New sub here Hunter. Much respect for not bad mouthing people while understanding that most "seasons" of life help us grow to the ecosystem we aspire to. I wish more people were like that. Happy holidays and I wish you the best year yet in 2023.

Wow; Hunter I can honestly say I enjoyed watching you on Dave's projects. Dave is a very intense force and it took people like you, Hans and Diesel D to keep the show relatable -to myself at least. Hope you find and continue to grow your own niche. You shouldn't have much issue pulling collaboration with some of the folks you've met along the way. Like others have said though, don't wait on them- put your collab goals on the vision board and make it so. good luck!!👍🏼

You are growing as an individual and being more responsible into your own. Be proud of yourself. We will still be here supporting you. You couldn't have learnt more in such a short time frae so be proud that you had a great mentor.

Excited to watch your evolution. You’re a valuable KZread personality and worth more than anyone would pay you I’m sure.

love what u do, whatever you do I'm subbd... glad u joined Dave for some time. its why i found you're channel👏and plz go 110% on the trophy truck build. I'm HYPED!!!

You are one of the boys that we looked forward to watching on Dave's channel so no unsubscribe from me, keep it up and thanks for your efforts you all rock and will be together for years

Dave needs you and obviously cares about you or he wouldn't invite you along on the recoveries. Stay friends! Love your channel Hunter❤❤

Thanks for the update, and keep up the good work! I definitely noticed you have been missing from Dave's latest video's. As a fellow Floridian, its was cool to see you out there fabricating, and doing recoveries.

Brother your doing so good. It’s good to see a young man have his own goals and actually working hard to achieve them

You are probably the most humble automotive KZreadr out there. Keep up the awesome videos and stay true to yourself as you grow. I really enjoy your videos and merry Christmas.

Very mature and respectful. As you say, things change. Time for your growth 💪🏼

Good on ya Hunter. It’s a delicate balance to maintain, I hear you. Dave’s channel is awesome and I can imagine he’s super fun to work for but I can also understand how it’s a lot of big personalities and focused people who all need to make their own goals work out. Hope you can manage to find a balance allowing you to keep working alongside Dave in the future while working towards your own goals. Realised I wasn’t subscribed to your channel so I’ve fixed that now! Best of luck for 2023.

Good for you man. Nobody will take care of you like you will. You're a down to earth guy and I wish you the best

Good for you focusing on your goals and the ability to go in that direction. Most of us too often stick with what's certain vs taking a leap.

Thank you for the update Hunter, I look forward to seeing more of your videos in the future. The number one thing that helped me the most, in the beginning, was remembering that "You can do anything you want to do if you want to do it bad enough."

Been a fan of Dave's channel for some time. Loved seeing you on there. Because of this video, I"m subscribed to your channel. You handled you decision with honesty and class. HeavyD, I think, is an honorable man at heart. He'll love your continued friendship & collaboration as much as you will. You have great skills and character, and you'll help a lot of us out here. Good luck to you.

Hunter, always chase your dreams! Nobody will do that for you only you can. I'm glad to see your alot happier. I could see you were frustrated in the last few of the Dd vids. Glad to see you are still in contact with Dave. Life is a funny road to follow. You think you know the direction you're going to go until a fork in the road has you wondering where that other road will take you. Awesome vid. Merry Christmas.

If I learned anything from your story it's that Dave is a very thoughtful friend. Congratulations on finding such a caring friend. Keep up the great work!

Thank you for the info. Always loved seeing you on DB stuff. Glad to be able to see what you are doing.

God bless you young man. You are going to do fine in life. Much love and respect.

Good stuff brother. Much respect for your humility and positive outlook.

I honestly enjoy these smaller channels much more than the huge ones with millions of subs…. Your a cool guy hunter. Do what makes you happy. Your content is really interesting

Thank you Hunter for sharing your journey. There are times and seasons in our lives with people, it good to take the good in that season to build upon and continue to grow. I can see a friendship with you and Dave because he continues to reach out. Friendship are a 2 way street and it would be exciting if you invited him on your KZread channel. It looks like you hit your goal of 100k subs. Awesome! Thanks for following peace.

Moving forward and continuing to grow sounds Awesome!! You got skills!! Let it roll!

Hunter, you have some good public relations going for your channel. Thanks for your honesty, humility, and reflection of love.

Thank you for sharing this with us. You get to a point when you have to move on and do your thing. I'm sure Dave understands why you needed to step aside. I'm excited to see your new content 🔥

I love your creativity, imagination and your skillset! We all go through transitional periods in life. Dont burn bridges and just keep your head up and keep on pluggin!! I am excited to see what the future brings!!! Your a talented dude with a good attitude... GOOD LUCK HUNTER!

Great to see you take the next step Hunter!! We will be here for you!

Good luck man, I agree, you are a huge inspiration for me and I hope you stay relatable and the way you are

Best of luck Hunter! I know how hard you work from watching you on Dave's channel so I know you'll do well in everything!

CONGRATULATIONS Hunter... I wish you ALL the best, much success. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a HAPP,Y, HEALTHY & PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!!! GOD BLESS...

Keep being humble and keep working hard! Thanks for the update Hunter! Still subbed! Like another comment was stated, don't burn bridges and keep building bridges with others. KZread collabs can be a great bridge to grow with!

i am not going to act like i am anything other than a subscriber and a fan of both channels but i wonder if say Dave too feels awkward asking for help "I dont want to bug Hunter" sort of things but also "I need someone i can just call up if i need an extra hand" ... maybe Dave even sees this where they are not talking one on one and where Hunter seems to want to do his own thing but as long as its not taking away from his goals/happiness ... he's cool with getting invited on recoveries here and there and working with Dave still (part time) One of those "both parties aren't 100% .. sure(?) where the other is coming from and dont want to make it awkward" (so to speak)

Although it really sucks not seeing you on his channel anymore as you were my favorite person on it, I’m pumped your taking the opportunity to build yourself and not someone else. You’ve got the creativity, talent, and drive it takes you’ll do great.

I will say your growth is awesome and makes me really happy for you You’re doing awesome stuff Keep it up buddy👌 This is only the beginning to your climb It will get harder but with work comes reward

Mind blowing that you would trade such an awesome job in pursuit of your dreams! I hope the best for your channel.

Good for you mate. You are a very capable young man. I'm sure your adventure will be awesome. Cheers from Bulgaria!

Finally! I’ve been wondering and been confused about the situation for so long, thanks for the clarification video!

I really enjoy your in depth blog style. Especially the longer ones. It's more real hands on and less spectacle. This is a good channel

Hunter, your doing exactly what every person needs to do when it comes to where their working. Go forward and better yourself. Your boss and whatever company u work for will survive if u were to move forward. Some people don't believe that but it's true.

Definitely keep up with Dave, its always good to have friends and resources in the industry plus it seems like he does care about you as a person.

Good job bro‼️ Glad you're doing well & kicking ass. You're super entertaining to watch💯

Bro!!! It’s extremely important for a man to know his Net worth!! Your goals are yours and only your!!! If Dave wants to use you on future recoveries,let it be known what your expectations are for Dave. Your daily rate is what it is and that you will be filming your content as your helping him on his recoveries or what ever he wants your for💪🏼 Self worth is how men built America brother!! And always KNOW YOURS!!! Happy holidays brother!!

Thanks for the update. I'm glad it seems you and Dave still have some communication. I hope he appears as a guest here some day. I'm definitely going to keep following you on your journey. I really love this channel, and am excited you didn't wait too long to push yourself to the next step in your life.

Good for you hunter, as I watched the heavy d channel I saw your brilliance and I’ll keep watching you here

I’m looking forward to what you put out. Keep up the good work. It’s great to see different and interesting stuff.

Hunter just keep moving forward and all of us that subbed to your channel are stoked to be here. I have no doubt that you've got this bro. Good luck

Hunter we all have our own paths in life and only you know the direction it goes. Dave found his path and You will find yours. You guys intersected and grew. I applaud you for understanding You need to go your own way instead of latching onto someone else and hoping for the best. Godspeed to you!

I'm subscribed to specifically see your content and the growth of your channel, and that's no disrespect to Dave or his channel. There's a different feel about watching channel growth, quite different than the feel about watching established channels. Sounds like Dave's perfectly fine with what's happening, and I'm probably sure he's behind you hoping the best for you. You're positioned perfectly to grow a channel, especially after everything everyone went through from 2019 to 2021, all the craziness of Covid and its ripple effects throughout life. Keep at it! Everything else will fall into place. I'm pretty sure I'm not the lone voice looking forward to what content you bring in 2023.

You are awesome with amazing skill sets. I was always amazed on how you were able to put things together to repair things with nothing. You stood out above everyone else. You also march to your own drummer. I can relate to that, as I am the same. Follow your dreams and never sell yourself short.
