you guys deserve to know whats going on

They want to know where we've been. They want to know what's going on. Hey, you got a little eye gunk. How's it going, folks? Where have I been? Where have we been? That's the question. I think it's been about a month since I posted a video. Just health stuff. Again, like I've suffered with before. I have to eat healthy or else I have really bad consequences. And I let myself go ever since we moved into this house. and I'm not the only person you know I mean people people do this over the holidays eat what you want drink what you want suffer for it later my only problem is I suffer for it for a long time I have IBS and that problem just kind of makes its way all the way down and out you get to catch my drift I've talked about a little bit before on other videos I don't really feel the need to go into it too much detail on this one if you'd like you can go check about some other videos some update videos and i'm sure more info is in there but it's a GI problem and a coming out problem so um i can't i can't leave my house i can't go camping i can't really do much um feeling all right right now and i have been for the past couple days which is great skillet's doing all right as well a little skinny as you can see but um yeah i let myself go since we moved in here man the past like three four months i was just celebrating i was in celebration mode you know what i mean i finally bought my house for my family up here we got away from all the nonsense this is like the end game you know what i mean it happened i was happy and i kind of relaxed a bit and uh i was i was having too much to drink and eating whatever i felt like eating whenever i felt like eating it and that's not the way to go even for healthy people you know what i mean well healthy people don't do that that's why they're healthy they don't you know big guy good boy you know good boy um so yeah there are some updates there are some things we can talk about i don't know if i'll be out on a camp for another month i uh i've been a month out and i don't know that i can go for another month that's crazy and in this youtube thing that's a big deal that's a really big deal that means i get forgot about i get pushed to the bottom of the barrel in many different ways and uh i get i'm not staying current but you know what there's nothing i can do about it i can barely help my wife around the house with the two kids in bed most days it's just agonizing and very uncomfortable but on to better things I've changed my diet completely I'm eating very healthy lots of greens and i cut out any kind of booze at all you know i mean i haven't had one beer in a day one beer in maybe three weeks i said in a day because it normally when i'm at home i drink one beer a day but again it It got out of control. So I went to the doctors here, went to the hospital here, checked me out, and said I looked fine. And made an appointment for the surgeon for me. I'm not having surgery. I had it once before, and I was laid up for like three months for this particular thing. And I can't do that again. I can't afford to do that again, and I don't think that it really did much good for me. I think it did more more problems than it was good for so I have taken matters into my own hands in Canada here our health care sucks like it's free but nobody cares nobody doesn't matter you wait four months to get into a specialist by then your problem has the symptoms have cleared up and then who wants to go do one of those for no reason you know so I've taken matters into my own hands and I am going to Toronto and I'm paying big bucks to have like specific things done in a timely manner and that's fine I'm happy to do it I'm excited to do it I've spent more money on worse things before that's for sure okay on to good things have you guys seen Justin Barber the Newfoundland Explorer I'm gonna link it in the description I'll try and put it in the bottom here if I remember he's doing a big series right now he crossed He did like a 68-day bushcraft camping exploration expedition trip with his dog Saku in the spring of last year, I believe, for 68 days up until almost the summer. I've watched two episodes of it now. I think he's going to put out the third this Friday. Really entertaining stuff. I highly, highly suggest you watch the first two episodes and follow along with him. Justin's got a smaller YouTube channel. still has a good amount of uh subscriber base but it's it's it's under i think under 10 but um yeah subscribe to him and watch that stuff guys he's a he's a fellow Canadian just a really good uh good wholehearted guy i've been enjoying that one been laid up here as well as lots of Netflix second on the list merch i got merch merch is in have you guys seen the merch the Scoots merch look at that shirt that shirt merch yeah how cool is that Scoot merch says Scoot Joe Robin at bushcraft underneath and we've got a little scout logo on the side these have been selling really well I haven't made a video about it obviously this is the first video telling you guys that but it did put up two Instagram posts and we sold a ton sold a ton of merchandise already it's through Bunker Branding so check those guys out again I'll put my specific link to my merchandise in the description. It's on the Bunker Branding website where there's tons of other creators as well with very cool merch too. Let's take a look at some. Merchandise is, merchandise, right? Merchandise You got a couple of hoodies. This is a Bunker Branding hoodie they sent. They're really soft. They're the next level brand. So they're like very high quality stuff. This is the same shirt too. The old Bamsun shirts were made of next level stuff. And I wear my Bamsun shirts all the time. Literally like all the time. I love the feel of it. They don't, this is a 60-40 cotton poly blend. They don't shrink. They're very soft. They feel comfortable. Good quality stuff. We had a few different options to go with and picked all the high quality. Oh, look at the trucker cap. Look at the trucker cap. Look at the Joe Robinette logo on the trucker cap. Scoots logo. These are selling like hotcakes. These are the best sellers. Get the mesh. Snapback. Small subdued logo on the side. I think it's perfect placement. I don't really look too good in trucker caps. My little dome isn't big enough, but you know how it is So we got hats. We got the shirts We got the bunker branding hoodies We got these hoodies too, and they're all true true true to size. They fit really well So this is the same as the shirt. I'll show you how it fits So right now we have the loose bottom for some people some people like the loose bottom Personally, I like the cuffed bottom and we're gonna have those next but look at like that the cuffs That's what I mean that elastic on the bottom, but there are two different types of people like them both Inside is very soft. It's like that That material that's soft soft material. What size I believe this is a small fits really well on me I'm about 130 pounds pretty pretty skinny. I really like it. You got the the hoodie pockets This is a size Small so yeah fits fits true to form and again won't shrink because of the poly blend what else do we have oh snap one of my favorites the old beanie this is not a patch just sewn on there it's more embroidered into it i guess it is a patch on there but you can't can't there's no like lip you know what i mean it's it's decent it's uh it's on there it's not coming off type thing so those on there too let's see let's see if scout likes it won't fit over your ears bro won't fit over your ears doggy and then there's none here but uh just like these bunker branding koozies we have one with my logo on it the same uh as the as the toque and there's stickers on there oh there's a shirt that says i'd rather be camping it has nothing to do with the JR Rubinet logo or a skull logo or anything like that it's it's specifically a separate thing i think i want to start a clothing line that that really maybe i will add the logo just a small subdued logo down here on the back or something just to brand it because it still is my brand but this run it does not have any JR logos on it or anything it's just it says I'd rather be camping and it's got a little small camping scene I really like I think it's super cool I love the phrase I'd rather be camping yeah I think it works really well so lots of lots of merch you think you might like some of this or if you want to support the channel please follow the link in the description or maybe I'll no I won't put it there because you can't click that Scouts doing good he's uh he's uh he's slowing down quite a bit and and he's skinny but um he's still getting into the garbage when we leave and he's still running around outside in the snow it's been super cold lately yeah his lymph nodes started to swell up a little bit again the other day but I double-dosed him on the oil and it seems to have slowed him down he's good I'll keep you guys always always always always keep you guys informed about how scouts doing so I debated on whether or not I would do this video this little update video this merchandise video of scouts doing how I'm doing I debated because I thought if I came back from my big hiatus with like a two or three day awesome winter bushcraft camping trip that might be a cool way to just say hey I'm back but the way it looks I'm not gonna that's not gonna happen for another month like I said I won't have another video up for about a month or so that's that's what i'm expecting now and things might change and i hope they do but being realistic that's how it is so i figured i needed to make this video i can't have you guys forget about me i'm gonna be left in the dust but not only that you guys deserve to know what's going on you guys deserve to know why i haven't put up a video or how scout's doing so it's uh it's important i think maybe i will put out another video or two before i get my whole um act together and get out camping again i got some really cool things in the mail i got um some fire steels from firesteel.com i got a square one so i'd like to try that out i got um i got a bunch of stuff i got some shelter halves i can make a decent uh canvas type tent um oh i bought a brand new camera i haven't got it yet but i bought a nikon z6 okay so i've been using this canon for a long time it got messed up a while ago i've been having some issues with it new lens things haven't really things are okay with the camera but i want to have better quality stuff i want to have better looking video i want to have a good sound all these things right so i bought the nikon z6 i bought the adapter for the old lenses i bought a monitor for it i bought a bunch of stuff i spent 5200 canadian dollars i bought it from b and h in the states because somehow it worked out to cheaper than buying even with the exchange it worked out to cheaper than buying it from henry's in canada way to go canada but anyways waiting for that to come in because of all this snow and how cold it is and stuff everything's been delayed emerald's lost like three or four days of school in the past couple weeks not because of us because it's been either a too much snow or b too cold um a few mornings in a row was like negative 32 with the windchill and then yesterday morning or yesterday morning yeah monday morning was named through 32 before the windchill so pretty cold and uh they don't want the kids walking to school we're going outside for recess or waiting for the bus and that stuff and i understand that so same type of thing i think happens uh up here with the mail but anyways i'll get it soon enough and that first video that i come back with that that'll be a big camping video that will be shot with that Nikon and I really really really hope you guys like it it sucks seeing it just so being candid here it sucks sitting back and seeing people blow up on YouTube uh and me not being able to respond like that that's just how it is in the genre I want to respond with a good video and I want to to put the attention back on me honestly again I'm just being honest I want to stay current I want to be the number one guy even though I hit a million that's not the end all you know what I mean that's that's just a landmark it's just a that's just a uh a goal I had and I hit it but I can't stop you know I don't want to stop I want to be the man so yeah it's uh it's a little bumming out when I sit back and I look on YouTube and I see all the the numbers that some people are making and stuff and it's like I want to hit those numbers too I want to put out good videos good content I want to have good comments back I want to have a good rapport with my audience I'm thinking a little bit clearer these days too I think um all the junk food and it's just not good for you man sugar is it sugar is not good for you like and I have no qualms about eating anything at any time of the day and I'll get up in the middle of the night and smash three Oreos you know double stuffs double stuffed Oreos in the middle of the night and just go back to bed so I have ideas I have ideas what I want to do like oh man I got hooked up with so much property now. I have unlimited places to go. I have unlimited things I can do now. Um, I just have to get a little bit better. So please don't worry. Don't worry about anything. Don't worry about Scout. I'll let you know when, uh, when you need to be worried or when something's happened about Scout. Don't worry about me. I've, I've changed my lifestyle once again. It's crazy. This happens, right? This is a cycle and I know I'm not the only person. I know I'm not the only person who does this. It's hard, man. When you're feeling good, it's easy to forget the proper way to conduct your life. When everything's good, everything's good. You know what I mean? But living like that is just not good, especially for me with this IBS that I have and all the things. All right, guys.
