I discovered Hank while going to college for meteorology😂 wasn't much into youtube until covid started. I witnessed an ef4 first hand in dallas in 2015, and I've driven into a rain wrapped ef0 on accident while driving to college(I was not the driver, the driver ignored my warnings and just kept plowing forward despite the horizon being black, I'm extremely thankful it was only ef0.) And that prompted me to study and take an interest in tornadoes and severe weather. Found Hank in 2021 during college and have been watching him since. Love his content

For those who aren't familiar, Hank is more than a chaser. His channel is excellent for getting some weather science on storm-related phenomena that is both in-depth and easy to understand, and his time lapse videos of non-tornadic storms are as beautiful and awe-inspiring as anything you will ever see. I personally think he lays up some good karma for himself by his kind acts for small animals (snakes, turtles, even dung beetles) that gives him safe passage from Nature as he gets crazy close to deadly tornadoes. Hank is a rock star in my book.

true, agree with both you.

I am tickled pink that our turtle-rescuing, June bug-narrating’, snake-wrangling, PeeWee Herman-impersonating scientist / musician / full time storm-chaser has finally gotten his own movie. I especially love the drone shot of the three different roads spliced into one frame, and the mid-chase comment, “We’re kinda safe-Ish.” Hank, you’re just the best there is - we love you. Keep doing what you do.

Hank to me is like the love child of Steve Irwin and Bob Ross. He's so wholesome and passionate about what he does, you can't help but but to be drawn in! I've always loved watching storms whenever they roll through, but I find myself appreciating them more and noticing more about them.

The conversation between Hank and his wife! The contrast, he chases tornadoes and she's scared of a wasp. Their dynamic is truly wholesome.

Pecos Hank is my favorite underrated KZread channel of all time.

Pecos truly is the weather gunslinger, a lone ranger guided only by his maps and instincts. He’s humble, down-to-Earth, fearless, yet always cautious. I’ve followed his content even since the early beginnings of his career, and I’ve always been completely intrigued by him and the storms he’s willing to chase. Pecos is unlike any other person. I will never stop supporting this man and his incredible content and drive to chase the unknown.

Hank's lower key, light hearted and (relatively) sensible chase style is a joy to watch. No screaming, no pretend drama. His photography and video are beautiful, and his explanations of tornado and lightning phenomenon are awesome. The wildlife shots are a fun aside! A Pecos Hank video is an immediate click from me!

Hank is a Legend in storm chasing. He’s shot some of the best tornado footage ever filmed. And is one hell of a nice guy too.

It's the best when Hank drops a new video, it's the worst when it ends. He can't put out enough content.

I hope the crew who got to ride along with Hank knows just how FARKIN' LUCKY they are!

12 minutes is not enough. Need an entire series or season(s) called "Chasing the blue devil with Pecos Hank"

Hank is one of my absolute favorite people on here.

Pecos Hank lassos tornadoes and chews on lightning bolts while strumming his guitar! Absolute legend!

Pecos Hank will always be the very best Strom chaser. Ever.

The cinematography, narration and general personality of Hank is unsurpassed in the chasing industry. Top notch the best of em all.

Hank’s got THE best Tornado content on the planet. Hands down.

Fascinating portrait of a man who is a bit crazy, but also courageous, thoughtful, kind and droll. He also produces outstanding imagery and he talks to animals. What a guy!

Hank, by far, is my favorite storm chaser. The charisma, the humor and the music he does himself, all in the best storm footage on KZread.

It's not just tornados, Hank is the first person to do a full show on red sprites. I had never even heard of those before seeing that episode and it's one the most amazing acts of nature I have seen.

Hank is the real genuine article. He is talented in so many ways and always has a great sense of humor. He will go down as one on the best storm chasers ever.

Hank's calm demeanor, sense of humor, and brilliant editing make him the best storm chaser hands down.

Hank is just a class act. Best representation of what a chaser should be.

Hank is one of the best documentarians I’ve ever seen - all of his videos are of exceptional quality and not only focus on tornadoes but also on the creatures he finds. One of the coolest and most talented people I’ve found on the internet.

Thank you for covering Hank!! He's an amazing human being. 💚💚

Hank is the GOAT

Pecos Hank is by far my favorite storm-chaser. Just super down to earth guy and good person, this video is amazing! It was so cool to learn about his past and his thoughts on the dangerous side of storm-chasing. The cinematography is incredible as well, Well done! :D

Thanks Hank for the history to which most of us know and have followed your endeavors for years now!

Pecos Hank…An American Renaissance Man..Great Ballad!

I’ve never enjoyed a video that wasn’t made by Pecos Hank as much as I enjoyed this one. I can’t even express to you, or anyone reading this, how much I appreciate this little look at my hero on the other side of the camera.

Gotta tell ya one of Hank’s most endearing qualities is not only his top tier storm chasing ability, but his genuine love of nature and all the critters, big and small, that make it so fascinating. I’ve lost count of how many snapping turtles alone he’s saved from ending up as roadkill in his videos. Just a delightful person. Peace! :)

The man, the legend, the gas station burrito hunter.

Literally the GOAT of storm chasing.

When there’s nothing to feel or hold onto in life, Hank is the one that comes around and changes that. Thank you

I'm so happy they gave Pecos Hank an interview/documentary opportunity! He is my role model

Pecos Hank is a certified legend for me. And the film was crisp and fantastic.

Hank is the best tornado chaser out there, there is no disputing that. So glad he’s getting more recognition. Never change, Hank

No one does it better than Hank….his photography, his music, his humor and his laid back demeanor are just the best! Stay safe out there for your beautiful wife!!!🌪️🥰

She’s beautiful 💕 so happy to see your amazing self with an equally amazing & beautiful wifey 😭😭 makes my heart happy 💖

Beautifully shot and edited. Hank is one of two storm chasers I follow, the other being Skip/Jenn. Yeti makes Hank into a mythical figure like Indiana Jones. Well done!

I absolutely love watching tornado chasing videos and I have watched them here and on many other platforms. Pecos Hank is the BEST CHASER BY FAR and he is my hero! I'd love to meet him one day and maybe we could chase a few storms. Love you Mr. Hank and keep up the excellent work!!

man came from an amazing underground rock band and created one of the most kino youtube channels in history. what an absolute legend.

been watching hank since he had only a few 100,000 followers, so happy to see him get the recognition he deserves; such an amazing and talented storm chaser, no screaming or over-dramatic performances, just genuine charm and humor; and an amazing understanding of the science behind these storms...stay golden hank

Pecos Hank is my fav! He shoots some amazing stuff and he's such an awesome character :D

Hank is wonderful! He is informative, charismatic, and outside of showing incredible weather, he showcases people from all walks of life and places we'll likely never get to see. He seems like a genuine dude and his content is unmatched.

He captures shots that are truly amazing. Even when they're completely scientific they're beautiful. I look forward to mid to late storm season every year for the past few years because Hank will be dropping more badass content.

Excellent video! My one and only complaint? It’s waaaaay too short. We love watching Hank in any element, so thank you Yeti for showcasing Hank’s awesomeness. ❤️

There are 99 videos of kids screaming with a shaky cam funnel in the backdrop. Then there is one tripod-stable Ultra HD shot of the most photogenic storm. That is Hank's rare genius.

This is exactly what is expected to see from hank.

There's Pecos Hank and there's the other chasers. Love him even more after this!

Thank you Yeti for getting Hank’s story out there to more people! I’ve followed him for years and I learned a lot more about him, but happy to see him recognized for the amazing work he does!

Hank! Awesome dude. His videos are like watching Discovery, National Geographic, and Animal Planet combined :)

Been watching him for a decade! I've probably spent hundreds of hours watching and learning after falling in love with the subject through his videos. Happily one of the best rabbit holes I've fallen into in my whole life, thank you Pecos Hank!

Yeti has found a true artist here. He is an incredible storm chaser and makes incredible content! Thanks Pecos!!!

Awesome! Love you lots Hank! Happy Trails!?

Growing up in tornado alley, tornados have always struck me as one of the most fascinating weather phenomena. I found Hank’s videos almost 5 years ago, and I’ve been following his music and storm chasing ever since!

Hank is the greatest KZreadr.

This has put me right in the mood to go on a Pecos Hank binge. Great video.

I had a sneaking suspicion that Hank was the coolest dude on the internet, but this seals the deal
