Thank you for the honest content, I came across your channel several years ago and had my daughter watch your excursions. She has been so inspired by your journey and your ability to have fun in the woods on your own and on your terms! My wife and I outfitted her with good quality gear explored how to use it with her and she is out enjoying the wonders of the world. Thank again for being such a great inspiration.

Now you will make videos because you want to, not because you have to. This is the way it should always have been. Once you make KZread your job, it changes everything. This is going to be a good thing for you and all of us. Improvise, adapt, and overcome. Oorah!
Wow. We have noticed others with this problem also. I've heard others keep saying they can't do it for nothing and we can't watch them unless we do Patreon. We can't all afford everyone. Best of luck to you and we will still support you.
I'll be hanging around. You do what makes you happiest, Careena. Simple as that.
I'm just glad I could be the guy who walked up to the fire and the smoke came at me immediately. This is one of my roles in life. You're welcome everybody.
Thanks for the honest update. Total respect for what you've accomplished with the channel. Change is part of the journey!
Thank you so much for telling us about what has changed with youtube, I sort of thought something had changed because of the channels I watch, most are different now, but you have been the only one to notify us, I will still watch your channel, and I wish you the best in the future, you have always been a pleasure to watch.
"I'm happy where I'm at. I'm very happy". And THAT is what matters. Most of us will be here when you are.
You have it bassakwards! We are the ones that are so grateful that you take time to create quality vlogs for us to watch! We are blessed to have found you! I think if you asked any of your subscribers they are with you 100% on your future plans! Best regards and love always. Si x
My first time watching you, and I will watch more, because someone who wants to be honest with us and want to give us good content even if it is less often, I salute you.
I totally respect what you're doing! It's going to be sad not seeing your amazing videos as often, but I am so happy for you doing what you really enjoy and seeing your other company taking off. I am happy that you are not quitting completely, as I love and always enjoy your videos!
Thanks for taking the time to let us know. Enjoyed your channel and will be on the lookout for the next episode. I miss the adventures with grizz . After his surgery I must have missed why he was no longer on the channel. Good luck with all the changes and glad you’re doing what makes you happy.

I'm curious to know as well. I've been watching her for years. I just want to know he's okay. I assume he isn't and that's why she never addresses it, which is sad but I get it as a dog lover.
Live your life girl (woman)! Follow your heart and the rest will work itself out. Congrats on your videography success too! We all want the best for you and your family. Thanks for the update and we'll see YOU on the next one! God bless you ♥️🙏🏼
Good for you Careena! Wise words and I love the chill way its all shared by the campfire!!! Sucks to hear about the way YT and monetization is changing. I admire you following your heart on this and not just creating videos for the sake of uploading.. Seems like jumping into a different form of ratrace! Im awaiting the weather update video ahha

Haha thanks DJ! It’s very freeing for sure! Nice to see you’ve pivoted to a different route as well, super happy for you!!
I respect whatever makes you proud and fulfilled. If KZread doesn't pay you for your worth, there are other platforms. Your happiness and lively hood are exactly what you make it. Kudos to you. I love your content and 100% agree with you!
You should be proud of yourself and you can see it in your face. I am one of thousands that says, "You go girl!"
If you found something that makes you happy DO IT !!! Do not apologize. Be happy 😁. No worries.
Always do what makes you happy! Do what your heart tells you is best for you! Take care of your family, and your "new" career, and your own mental health. KZread viewers will always be here. Look forward to seeing more of you down the road. Best Wishes!
Doing it cause you love it is key. Documenting YOU. thats what’s important. You have all these videos to look back on YOU and your growth. Much love, and certainly appreciate your time.
Thanks for sharing and thank you for your videos. Good luck to you! I was a wedding photographer for 14 years. The same happened in that industry. I made more 10-14 years ago than I made last year. I retired as of this year. I'm retired and do street photography using b&w film and getting on a motorcycle and travel the U.S. bushcrafting and shooting street photography.
Several things are guaranteed in life, CHANGE being one of them. Roll with the tide...
Thanks for the update Alexis. I’ll be looking forward to your next video.
Be happy work hard enjoy your family. I’m 31.5 years in business. My KZread channel is more of a calling and not necessarily for monetizing. Keep riding. We will all be here. Growth is good and change is necessary/guaranteed❤️
Thanks for the update Alexis. You are awesome and hard working, and love to watch your videos. Good luck in the future and take care.
The frustration is is expected when things change and not in the way we would like it to. I’ll continue to follow your channel because your video content is excellent.
I am just a small KZread channel but I still find it fulfilling because I film when I can and I share what I know and the progress that I make mostly with my canoe restorations. I do understand your position and have enjoyed your content and perhaps as you mentioned in your video you will also film when you want to vice not because you have to. Congrats on your new business and I wish you the best of luck. I look forward to your future content as well!
So happy your videography side is taking off. It is well deserved! Take time for you & fam. We'll be here!
Thanks for the update Careena… wishing you the best on your ventures!
So happy for you, I enjoy your videos.. you are an inspiration to many. I truly wish you all the best in your new chapter and wish you nothing but happiness!
Fully support. I feel this. I went rustic cabin "camping" a few weeks ago with full intention of making a video. When I got there, I just didn't want to run the camera. YT is not my full time job, so I changed plans and *just went camping, you know, for *fun. It was awesome and relatively relaxing. I sat with myself and my thoughts instead of fretting over the next shot. Good for the soul. Prayers up for success and clarity on all your business ventures and plans.
Be happy. I appreciate any content you are willing to share. Quality is so much more important than quantity.
I'm glad you found something that worked and you enjoy! Do what makes you happy and I'll still be here, for what that's worth.
It's great to hear that your freelance work is becoming so successful & that you're happy in what you do and long may it continue!
Oh my gosh. Way to step up to the plate and make positive changes and being honest too! So happy and proud of you. Wishing you all the best that life is offering you! But, can’t wait to see your next video’s ❤️ it’s always been a pleasure watching your content. Take care and catch you on the flip-flop.😂😊 👍
OMG, you seem so radiant and happy, confident and at peace. I don't know how else to explain it. I haven't seen your videos in a while. I have always enjoyed them. It seems like you are definitely where you are your happiest. I wish you all the best and I look forward to seeing your future videos.

You do you my lady I have throughly enjoyed what you do. I love watching people in the woods reminds me of my kid days.
Amen! You do you. Whatever you put out, I’m here for it.
Tell me about the shitty sledding season! I rode twice this year! Funny thing is ... I did the same and picked up an ATV. Like minds 😉 Keep doing you Careena! We'll be here routing for you in the background. Long time fan. Not going anywhere. Thank you for what you do. You are appreciated 💛
Damn it is refreshing to see someone who knows how to cut wood for a fire ! Not a single beating for her knife ! A saw, hand axe and a knife ! Woods wise and beautiful ! Take care of yourself young lady !
So pleased your not stopping, so so look forward to your vides and love love Timber Mates vids
Thanks to the algorithm I’ve only just stumbled across your channel and I’m glad I did. Great video- very honest. I look forward to seeing your future videos as I know they will be heartfelt. Good luck to you.
Thanks for all that you do and sharing and your honesty. I love your stuff and wish you nothing but the best in the new direction. I look forward to the new stuff. In the meantime, Cheers and all the best!
You're not the first creator I've heard with the same frustration with YT. I think you were at 1500 subs when I subscribed, due to a shoutout from Joe R. Regardless, I wish you success with your new business and will always look forward to a new video.
honesty is the best Quilty ! We will miss you and your Outdoor adventures, but YOU need to be happy with what you put together for us. I THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU HAVE ALREADY GIVEN US TAKE CARE and DO WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU ! !

Thank you for being so open and honest about it. I love your videos and you are a big inspiration to me. Follow your heart and do what feels best. I look forward to the coming videos, even if it less often. And a huge good luck with your business. Starting something new is a grind, but it can, and most often is, a fantastic journey.

Thank you the update and good luck with your business!! Take care!
I couldn't understand more. You are doing the right thing. It will be a joy to see you when we see you!
Very happy to see another business owner starting to have success and actually enjoying the grind. You do you! Wishing you all the best 💖
You have been one of my favorites. I have followed you for years because you are real! My wife and I love watching you.
Thanks for all that you've shared, I enjoy content. Look forward to next one. Happy Easter. Take care
I hope to see you continue your passion for the outdoors. On your own schedule that makes you feel best about your trip and videos. Please don't do it just to grind! I will be watching whenever you post! Regardless of how much time between. Thank you for all your dedication over the years ❤
The cash cow, KZread, is drying up, has done for many years in the U.K. You have been able to see the writing on the wall and are developing another talent. Feel happy and go for it.
I think you’ve got life figured out 😊. Your videography and editing skills are killer - it takes time to build a clientele and a portfolio. Love to see you happy and being yourself. Happy Easter Careena and family 🤙
Good for you. You should do what makes you happy. I’ll keep watching, wishing you the very best with your new business. Take care!
Great video, I like how you made accurate splits when making kindlings, I like seeing someone out enjoying mother nature.
Good luck in your new endeavors! I have really enjoyed your content and consider you one of the best outdoor Canadian content creators!
All the best to you! Love your content. Will continue to watch no matter how much content you put out. Got to do what's best for you and your family at the end of the day.
Thanks for the honest assessment of KZread
You gotta take care of you!. we're glad you have the things that make you happy!

It's a shame , I'd rather watch KZread then regular TV I get more out of watching Bushcraft video's , they should get more .. in there own way these KZread channels on Bushcraft are celebrities in their own way .. are they not ?? So they to should be paid , they do their own stunts work and film .. I'd love to know how cause I'd be filming too .. in my own way outdoors ... 🫡

The trouble is the tone of the videos changed from just a girl and her dog in the woods camping and bush crafting(very popular) to more of a self-pity, whining event so her views dropped…that’s why the money dropped.
Glad you’re doing well!
Been watching since the beginning. Glad to see you have found something outside of KZread. I hope that success allows you to do this all together and enjoy your life to the fullest with your family
Thank you, you're great. This is much appreciated. Best to you.
Well, do what gives you fulfillment and who stands by you who want to see you succeed, that's what counts.
Your new idea sounds really great! Looking forward to seeing your new videos.
I am here for the duration. Your videos are excellent. I too am busy and don't always have time to watch so it works for me. I am a huge fan. Hang in there, kiddo!
When you are ready, I will be here for your next adventure Careena! 😃🛶⛺️
Good luck.. and we will check in, and keep watching for ya.
So the moral of the story is KZread pushes more adds and gives less to creators than ever.
Thanks for the honesty and the great channel!
Always enjoyed your videos. Life is too short...absolutely do what makes you happy and gives you joy! All the best to you...
Thanks for your honesty. If you keep making interesting videos, we’ll keep watching them. Whether they are once a month or whatever, all good! Keep on keeping on!
