Never change your name! You already misspelled it in your vide. You said in all three platforms it’s “W-O-N-D-E-R-H-U-S-S-I” 💙! ;-)
Oh Wonderhussy, don't change a thing. My wife and I reserve Wednesday, sometimes thursday evenings to watch your videos. Your name "Wonderhussy", intro song, your weird sense of humor, video lengths, all the strange places you visit, and all the things that make you the one and only Wonderhussy are just perfect. Again, don't change a thing.😮
If people can't sit still for a 12 second intro, then they don't deserve you Wonderhussy! Seriously, you are such an inspiration for many reasons. Please trust your instincts and inner compass, because you are a True North ! ☮️💜

I only thought when I first started watching was she is wandering, so is she Wonder? Or Wander? Hussy (always liked that) But she is her own person, and the vids are better to me, showing some balance between scenery and her charming banter with herself, something I know a bit about. It gave me ideas for my future channel, so thank you. Patreon kinda made me sign up as a “channel” so I don’t know what that will bring. But I envy the people who do this successfully!
Been a Hussy fan for a few years now!! Love abandoned places & the history of these places. Plus...she's quirky!! 😆

Yes you are a creative artist. You grew your channel brick by brick. That’s a true authentic entrepreneur. Thank you ☺️
I LOVED your behind the scenes course on how you do things -- you're very slick and professional in everything you do -- I've been in radio and TV for 50 years, and I even teach other people on how to do good videos, AND I USE YOUR VIDEOS AS AN EXAMPLE ON HOW TO MAKE A VIDEO AND DO IT RIGHT!! You're a GREAT teacher! I don't believe in fixing things that aren't broken, but you said you were open to ideas, so I might have the unmitigated gall and brazenly effrontery to make a few suggestions! (by the way, I've been on America' Funniest Home videos a number of times, I've won $15,000 and five T-shirts so far...) I love it when you occasionally break into song and/or dance, you have a lovely voice. So, for my ideas -- paint one of the walls in your house a fluorescent green, and chroma-key yourself onto scenery that would be impractical to do on the actual location. Number two, once in a while throw in a special effect or a magic trick -- pulling stuff out of your pocket that couldn't possibly fit on your body in the first place or packing a whole room of stuff into a little suitcase. I can "elaborate" on this if you want. Give me an email address where I can write you more, if you want. Even though you're talking to millions of people, you have a flair for making everyone feel as though you're a personal friend!

You are, hands down, one of the best storytellers on KZread. Never change.
Please don't change a thing Sara Jane just stay the course and be you. Love your history stories of abandoned places.
No matter what you do there will always be someone to complain about it. You're doing a great job and you're fun to watch. Keep it up girl!
Don't change a thing Sarah Jane. You are doing it perfectly. I stumbled across your KZread during the pandemic with you walking up the Strip showing how dead everything was. All of your content is perfect because it comes from the passion and realistic attitude you have on life in general. Your genuineness shines through.
Listening to you list of things you think you ought to do to get more subscribers had me worried! I enjoy your channel perfectly as is because it feels spontaneous and real! All the other stuff KZreadrs are encouraged to do has by now come to feel desperate, annoying and pandering. Also you’re one of the KZreadrs who has 20 + minute videos that I will watch from beginning to end and not get bored! Anyway, thank you for giving us a peek behind the Death Valley curtain and please don’t change unless it’s something that feels organic to yourself.

Sarah Jane, please don't change a thing, You're perfect as you are and it's your vibrant personality that keeps people hooked: I especially enjoyed your videos about auditioning for Jeopardy and American Idol and refurbishing your desert compound. You're a wonderful storyteller and have a great sense of humor -- in short, you're entertaining even if you're going to the grocery store. Keep up the great work!
i like the Wonderhussy brand. Glad you stick to your roots but kudos for cleaning up the language for the grandkids. You have made good decisions in my opinion. I've been with you for quite a while now, since the F bomb days. I do remember how I found you. I was watching videos of the speed records of the Bonneville salt flats and suddenly your video on the salt flats popped up and the rest is history. Cheers to the soon to be quarter million milestone!!! btw...since I'm a car guy I have to beg for more abandoned, old cars, trucks, equipment. lol
Haha - 76 year old woman who loves your channel. I think hussy is what first intrigued me. I doubt I would have checked out wondergirl! And so glad you do not insist people subscribe! Or ring your bell! or join patreon:) You definitely are NOT boring. And your intro is great. Please don't follow all of the 'good' youtube rules and be like everyone else!
Keep true to yourself. You are a great storyteller and very entertaining 🎉
I love that you keep your high standards. You don’t do click bate thumbnails. You keep it real. Your channel is the only one on KZread I consistently watch every episode. Every week with you is an adventure!
You are an original and that's how you got this far. No one thinks, looks, or acts like you. Your history made Wonderhussy. The only suggestion I might have to offer is to invite another favorite KZreadr of mine, German in Venice, as a guest.
Yellow is the first color of the spectrum that the eye notices .
I got my husband to watch you and my daughter in law 😊 keep on being you girl we love ya
79 year old woman here. "Hussy" is exactly why I first watched your channel and you've been making me chuckle ever since! Not to ever forget the wonderful trips you take us on. Do NOT change anything or go shorter or anything. The quirky music is perfect. Besides without you I'd have never known more about foot fetishes and now I want to know more about pit kitten fetishes and lots more about Nevada and surrounds in general. Just keep it up and nix the 10 min. stuff. Double nix Tic Tok. We love you just the way you are and there are three of us in our house.
My husband and I started watching you back in 2019. My grandmother had had a stroke in December 2018 and a month later my mother-in-law who lived with us was diagnosed with stage three pancreatic cancer. I stayed home and left my job to take care of both of them, and when I watched your channel, it gave me a reason to have some adventure and laugh. Plus you lived in Las Vegas, which is our favorite vacation destination.
Don’t ever change being our Wonderhussy. We LOVE you just the way you are. Please take it from an open minded observer, you’re the best! When I discovered you March of 2022, you’d already been going since 2011, so I had a lot of catching up to do. I started binge watching all your videos, from the very beginning, up to the present, which amounted to almost 700 videos! So I got to know your style right away. Which is why I liked you. So here we are now at 800+ videos, and going strong. So if the goodie two shoes don’t want to tune in, that’s their loss. And if your subscriptions and views suffer because of it, so be it. That’s the price of being awesome!
Sarah don't change a thing! Your stuff is great the way it is.
Don't change yourself, I watch your content because I enjoy it.
Nooo, don't shorten your intro, it's so cool and comforting like the night court intro
I'm not saying you can't find good tips from the KZread gurus on how to improve your videos. BUT, they often remind me of the people who, for a price, will teach you their system for making money. Most people don't stop to think: Hey, if this is such a great system, why are they telling ME? The answer is because they can make more money telling people how to do it than they can actually doing it. I've also heard of KZreadrs who got so focused on chasing the algorithm, it sucked the joy right out of them, and it started to show. Being you got you to where you are. Continue being you.
It's a badge of honor! You've worked your butt off putting out videos so the titles all yours. :)
I think I subscribed back when you had 30,000 viewers. Your intelligence and charm were more than enough to convince me. Of course, being beautiful doesn't hurt. Even without makeup.

20 to 25 minutes a video is good. Longer gets a little boring. But having said that I do watch longer videos, like this one. Keep going Wonder Hussy.
Don’t make them short. Their length is what makes them special!
Do not make the videos shorter! I look forward to Wednesday’s!!! You rock!
Thank you, wonderhussy. And thank God you started making videos.
Hardest working and exuberant YT'er I know. Stumbled upon here by the Mine Explorer's channel that Dan ( Shango) does when he visited a mine owning neighbor Ross ( the one legged miner) of Sarah's and then went to his channel and found a woman who called herself Wonderhussy on a few of his vids. The rest is history. Been watching her since that day. She has a great self depreciative sense of humor, visited some great places , made videos of her desert home and man can she talk your ear off , but you will love every minute of it, because she is that good at the stuff she does. Thank you Sarah Jane, from a new subscriber!
Drizzle drazzle drizzle drome, time for this one to come home, said Mr. Peabody with his time machine. History can be fun.
I am 73 years of age female and I just love watching your adventures. You are wonderful and very honest and it shows threw the camera. Keep it on going as long as you enjoy what your doing . ❤️
Lately I've been drifting off watching videos and blamed it on being almost 70. When I saw today's was 44 minutes I hesitated. To my surprise it was most interesting. Seemed like you are always talking directly to the fans. Keep with your format and I'll be happy. You impress me with your intelligence. I've learned so much today and wish your channel grows to 500 k soon. 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🙋♂️
Awesome, darlin'...keep on keepin' on. Wonderhussy forever!
love your videos and all the effort you put into making coherent stories. You are a gem.
Sara, don't change anything. I love you just the way you are.😘
Girlfriend, please do not change,,,,,love you just the way you are! You have the BEST videos out there! Thanks for explaining the process! You are a hard worker for sure! 💞
Back in 2018, you're the first KZreadr I started watching and continue to watch you. I love that you don't beg to "like and subscribe," or talk about Patreon, or "Buy me a cup of coffee," or "Buy me a tank of gas." Don't change anything. You're perfect just the way you are. xxxooo!!
Don't change, your channel is perfect.
Keep on truckin' Wonderhussy! Your entertaining and iconic videos are classic Americana, original and full of heart.
Your music choices are part of your signature!!
The wife and I enjoy your travels and the stories you dream up as you go. You make our lives so much more exciting and comical. Thanks so much.
I recognized the Sedan Crater group photo by your desk. We signed up almost a full year before we went up to Mercury to see the Nevada Atomic Facility. To those who don't know, they take a busload from Las Vegas of about 40 people once a month up to tour the facility and they take a group photo as you are not allowed any photo equipment including phones, past security. If you get to go, be sure to go the the Atomic Museum on before the trip, very educational and it adds to the tour.
Love you the way you are. Don’t change anything. JustYou be you.
This is one of your best videos. Not because of the how to lesson, but because of your personality and your rant on the other female content creators with the wholesome names 😂. My favorites are the boyfriends / husbands who put a suggestive T and A thumbnail shot of their partner to get attention. I like your channel's name and your attitude. Never change, Sarah!

I am from India and I've been watching your every single video from past one and half year. Every thursday I wake up in the morning and the first thing I do is open youtube and watch both of your videos. The sole reason I am you fan is because the type of content you show unlike some other youtubers who use sexuality to get views. I can proudly say that I am one of your biggest fan, atleast from India if not the world. Keep posting your great content and I'll be waiting every thursday's for your videos. Kudos Sarah. Love you from India.
I love everything about Wonderhussy! Don't change your theme song in the beginning either. That tune cheers me up so much on Wednesdays..I just get giddy! 20 something minutes episodes are just fine too! I liked this 40 minute one also. Your past is fascinating...it makes who you are! Just my POV. Your adventures carried me through the covid crap years and long winters of MinneSnowta. You just keep being you!

The video that really hooked me on Wonderhussy was the how-to of you cleaning your Sig Sauer. Cleaning the gun wasn't what did it, it was what you really used for self-protection! I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it, but it is worth checking out.
Wonder Hussy! Love that you can be just you! Don't commercialize yourself! You are a special hussy! Be you! We love it!😊
Please don’t make ur videos shorter! I love your story telling!! It is my way of just downloading from my day!
Hey Sarah, The main attraction of your channel is your incredible enthusiasm, personality, intelligence and gift for gab! You can make even the most Mandane seem interesting! I particularly enjoyed your videos with some historical perspective like the Benion murder mystery, The history of some of the sites you visited, really loved the tour of unusual houses, and Liberace‘s house! Your experiences in Las Vegas all the Las Vegas videos I was a real estate broker there for 20 years! Your stays, like at the brothel, A haunted hotel, The town for sale outside of Las Vegas. I think it’s called Nipton. Personally, like those better than the desert ruins! But I wouldn’ Miss an episode I forgot to mention the beautiful scenery where you Camp like up in Colorado and the old mining town there! The airplane ride, The lake, Powell, camping trip,
Wonder Hussy is your brand don't change. You should be very proud of what you have created on your own. Not just doing what the others do. For me, watching for several years, and still enjoy your videos. Happy Trails!
I feel I have been given a great gift to see how you make your wonderful videos! I eagerly anticipate your videos each Wednesday. They make life a bit more worth living! Your sense of humor is Five Star! Your videos are a combination of stand up comedy, history, and exploration. And your locations in the desert are exactly the areas I find most interesting!
I love your intro music. Don't abandon that. I have been watching for the last year. It is your personality that brings me back over and over. Cheers!
I don't know when I started but loved it all. Especially when Nude Modeling was considered World Ending. Many of your old videos on abandoned Industrial sites, especially that fallen Chimney were Oscar Winners. So much effort goes into your work. You are playing to a bunch of nimrods who don't really know or care that much about perfect audio/video.
Sarah people watch and tune into your channel because it’s the best one around 😊 And because of your amazing way , and simply because of you 😊❤ I wouldn’t change a thing why mess with a good thing 😊 As always lots of love for ya from Flagstaff Az ❤️✨❤️
Hey Hussy, Don't change anything!
I think the intro is fine. I know longer intros that are on bigger channels and it doesn’t affect them. I think you’re doing well and sticking to your guns and doing things that make you happy. It’s more genuine and makes you more relatable. Keep it up! We love you!
Your a great story teller you could write a book about your adventures…your professional career. You have a great talent of creating a great story out of nothing…expand in all directions.
I found my way to your channel because you left a business card on the windscreen of "Old Bob", Gly Coolness' jeep while he was exploring a mineshaft (Abandoned & Forgotten Places). The video that made me subscribe to Wonderhussy was the one you made at Cerro Gordo with great footage of the American Hotel before it burned down. It would be great if you could go back to Cerro Gordo where you could ask Brett Underwood to show you his progress on rebuilding the hotel & take you down the mineshaft in the cage that sometimes gets stuck.
Sarah i have been watching your videos for a couple of years. I enjoy the content and the stories that goes with what you are exploring. You are entertaining and pleasing to the eye and ears. Keep up with great entertaining content.
Wow. That was great. Thank you. Personally I see no need to change anything about your presentations.
WonderHUSSY is what initially attracted me to your channel. I was curious. And I’ve loved ya ever since…😎😘
Luv seeing you in the off beat areas❤❤❤❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰🥰
Never change your channel name!!

I totally respect the fact that your not begging for money (unlike other KZreadrs from Pahrump and talking about their hardships). All your videos are absolutely interesting and informative.

She is so funny who she can tolerate as an acquaintance or friend, sometimes. 99% of her associations and collaborations are cool but there is one possible stinker's channel. Boo.

This is why we all LOVE YOU ❣️ Keep up the great work!! If you have a community page on your channel help Sarah by sharing her out on your channel.
I think I watched a few of your videos before I realized what you "called yourself". I love the content, the locations and your very interesting narration which is so relatable and not boring for one second. I try to watch other "historical location" type videos and the narrators are just so very boring . Watching you is like going along with a friend on a FUN adventure. Thank you for what you do!
Just let me say one more thing….. I always back your intro back to hear your intro music…. I LIKE IT… and you are a success!
Subscribing to your content is because we enjoy and have enjoyed a tourist video commentary of yours making us viewers laugh. Anyone just watching any single video of yours has something funny to laugh at by the way you are serious and not serious together to explore what tourists should see adventuring. Even doing hairy armpits videos before doing a photoshoot is just so funny to your KZread watchers just being injected by weirdness, oddness, off the wall documentary that makes us additionally entertained besides probably a hit or a miss tourist area in Nevada primarily. ☺️👍
This is so much fun. I modeled in my youth...long long ago and did promotions and always hated how fake the companies that I worked for would want everyone to act. I have been trying to make sense of what you do and put a label on it. You are correct there is either fun to watch or boring. Most of your videos are just brilliantly fun. There is so much to explore where you live. It is soooo cool! All I can say is thanks because I miss the desert and watching these videos is a blast! It's funny that when I started watching you and described it to some of my friends who got visual art type degrees like I did, that we don't use, was that she (Wonder hussy) is like everyone's favorite, really creative art teacher.
"Hello Huskateers" lmao!!!... hilarious, but you don't need a "P1" audience identifier. Slow & steady growth wins the race. Just keep doing what you're doing. We all admire your content. Keep up the fine work!
Don't change... you have almost 1/4 million that love your channel as it is. Of course things evolve and they have since we started watching, I think you had about 30k when we found your channel and never miss an episode. My husband and I used to visit the desert often to explore on a small scale now I just enjoy watching your wonderful adventures... where ever they may be!
Thank you Sara! I love watching The Wonderhussy Adventures!👍
As an extremely small KZread channel, this helped a ton. I am so introverted and tend to clam up when making videos and there are people around. Even where there are no people around, I clam up and I need to do better. I remember the days of the brothel and casino and I visited those places with my daughters about 4 years ago. I have always loved and been intrigued with the history of why a place is no longer in operation,. Ghost towns, road trips and national parks and just getting out and enjoying the world around. Keep doing what you are doing and don't change a thing!
You're lucky you have the personality to actually be on TV and interview people on a talk show❗ I would call it an entertaining vibe in the way you talk and a uniqueness in the way you talk. Also, an honesty 👏... First and foremost, probably I should mention an honest vibe. People would rather see you talking and interviewing in a late night show than the usual choices. I could see you hosting the Emmys, etc, without any problem. Just a great, honest person with a super personality❗
Ms Huss! Don't change ANYTHING! Your channel is just perfect and so fun and most importantly UNIQUE!

It must be about 2016 when I stumbled across your stuff while searching for "Death Valley cabins", I have subscribed and watched ever since. I have been to some of the same places and enjoy seeing them through your lens. I have sung your praises and know of a number of people in my family who are regulars. I promote you with a sticker on the back of my camper, honk if you see me some day! I know exactly which channel promotes with t&a, she's ok but no wonderhussy! You work so hard at this, I wish you nothing but the best and do hope to meet you someday. Never equate quantity with quality.
Sarah, continue to be Wonderhussy! And continue to record the world that you exist in!
Good work to get where you are without ‘begging’ kudos. Been here for a few years.
Keep up the excellent work, Sarah! Love your videos because they show interesting places and your off-the-wall stories also serve to perk things up nicely, along with your affinity for soaking in hot springs out in the middle of nowhere. Thank you for all that you do for us viewers, hugs to you! 😘😎
A Hus-puppy here. You are authentic, charismatic, consistently engaging, and did I say authentic? Worth repeating
The only thing I will add here is just look at all your positive comments WITH all those 'thumbs ups". I have only been around here for a couple of weeks and definitely plan on staying. Thanks for your great content, Sarah!
Nice job Sarah. Keep up the good work.
