Hey gang! Last night was rough, but I think during that time I finally topped the summit of this flu I’ve been dealing with and I started down the other side of that mountain this afternoon.
On the most recent The Practical Woodsman podcast episode I had somebody on YouTube complaining about the number of ads and they apparently blame me for it. I had to remind them that I don’t own YouTube. I have no control whatsoever over how many ads YouTube shows or with what frequency. Frankly, I get sick of the obnoxious frequency of ads YouTube throws in my face when I try to watch something there, too.
Here’s a tip: If you subscribe to The Practical Woodsman on Rumble, in addition to YouTube, you can watch the exact same content there with practically zero ad interruptions. The only drawback is that I almost always upload to YouTube first, since the majority of my audience is there. Because uploads can take me so much time, I frequently can’t get the same video uploaded to Rumble until a day or so later. Also, I’m able to upload in 4K to YouTube, while Rumble restricts me to lower resolutions.
But, if you hate ads as much as this feller who commented on my video this morning does, Rumble is a nice option for avoiding them practically altogether. Rumble is also a champion of free speech, a principle I am happy to support in any way that I can. YouTube is an outright enemy of free speech. I use it currently because I have to, not because it is my preference.
…the myth, the legend.

Nothin’ is better than round, uniform tins for hauling certain things. I’m really fond of them because they stack neatly and can save quite a bit on space. I get them off Amazon in two different sizes at a low price - a small, snuff-size can, and a larger can.
The only real drawback about them is that they can get beat up fairly easily, because they’re made out of really light aluminum. But for their low cost, I reckon it’s no big deal, since they’re easy to replace.
