I'll take quality over quantity any day of the week.

Once a week or once a month don’t matter. Still got my support. As we age our priorities change part of life

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 KZfaq 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.

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.

Thanks for the honest update. Total respect for what you've accomplished with the channel. Change is part of the journey!

If you found something that makes you happy DO IT !!! Do not apologize. Be happy 😁. No worries.

So the moral of the story is KZfaq pushes more adds and gives less to creators than ever.

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.

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

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. KZfaq viewers will always be here. Look forward to seeing more of you down the road. Best Wishes!

"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.

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 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.

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 ♥️🙏🏼

Be happy work hard enjoy your family. I’m 31.5 years in business. My KZfaq 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❤️

This is why we have followed you and your Husband's channel. You guys have always been the down to Earth real deals. As always we're in for the long haul with you! Thanks for having the integrity. See you guys soon! 🤠🧑‍🦰🌲🌲 🎼

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.

You should be proud of yourself and you can see it in your face. I am one of thousands that says, "You go girl!"

Amen! You do you. Whatever you put out, I’m here for it.

I respect whatever makes you proud and fulfilled. If KZfaq 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!

It's a shame KZfaq isn't giving the content creators the share they should get. Without y'all KZfaq would be nothing. I'm looking forward to seeing where you and the channel go.

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.

I am just a small KZfaq 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!

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!

The cash cow, KZfaq, 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.

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 !

You were one of the reasons I started doing KZfaq and I don't regret it and completely get what you are saying... I hate just putting stuff out. Enjoy your life and congrats on everything!

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.

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'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.

Careens, I have learned a lot from your videos and purchased my fair share of equipment on your recommendation. Thanks for the heart that you do put forward but move ahead and be your best self. I envy your lifestyle. Best wishes

Thanks for the update Alexis. I’ll be looking forward to your next 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 ! !

Well, do what gives you fulfillment and who stands by you who want to see you succeed, that's what counts.

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.😂😊 👍

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

Thank you Careena 🙂 God Bless 🙏🏻 Appreciate you my friend 🫶🏻

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 💛

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.

You need to do what makes you happy and is worth your time. I love sitting down and having cowboy coffee with you on your schedule.

Wow, a person being honest! Feels weird. Kind of looking forward to your next video. Enjoy life pretty Gal!

Thank you for the honesty- I’ll keep watching

I couldn't understand more. You are doing the right thing. It will be a joy to see you when we see you!

So happy your videography side is taking off. It is well deserved! Take time for you & fam. We'll be here!

I've watched your channel for years. The best videos were of you and Grizz bushcrafting and camping in the woods. The views seemed to decline as the channel went away from that. Having said that, make the videos you want, when you want. If solitary camping videos show up occasionally, I'll consider myself fortunate. Best of luck.

Thanks for sharing Careena. 1 video a year or 1 a month, do whatever feels right for you. We will love it no matter what you do! Have fun, be safe and we hope to meet up again soon.

Thank you Careena. You be You and let the chips fall where they may. Enjoy your family first. Remember why all this happens. You can find joy in any situation. We'll keep supporting you.

Fulfillment is what we all need for our souls. I am happy for you and wish you more fulfillment. Peace.

as a guy that’s been in the woods my entire life and an professional arborist of almost 28yrs, l’ll never understand why people never wear eye protection when dealing with all aspects of wood. you’d be surprised how many one eye “woodsmen”/arborists that are out there, l know of 5 in colorado alone.

Sharing is rewarding in and of itself.

I've enjoyed your content, especially the over nights. You have responded to my past comments (Brava, BTW), so I know personally that you read your comments. Life is an experiment, one where you don't see the results instantly, but in hindsight you can see if there was success, or a continued battle for success. I feel your adventures have been a successful over all, even if you now choose to focus on the future, and family. Incidentally, this is something that I've sensed you have desired all along, so go for it, girl! Coffee, campfires, and snow, make a marvelous trilogy. These three things will always be magical to me, and I've enjoyed your sharing of this trilogy. Thank you. Remember, coffee is always better in a kuksa, lol!

One of my favourite sayings is do what makes you smile :)

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.

I only recently found your channel Careena. It has been only since the CV-19 episode started that I began watching KZfaq at all. I have to say that I enjoy watching your videos and the many other people, especially women creating similar videos. When I was going up there were few women doing the things that you, and other women, are doing in the wilderness. My friends were hoping to someday find a woman to share the love of the outdoors with but stubbled immensely in that quest. I have commented on a few other channels where the algorithms and policies are crushing their abilities to earn enough to keep producing videos and are diversifying in order keep afloat. I basically said that you have to do what you need to to live and especially if you have a family. I love that more women seem to be getting out into the "wilds" and camping and hiking. Also those that are sailing these days I find inspirational as well. It is sad that now that women are finding the freedom and enjoyment of the outdoors that the establishment is doing everything to reign it in and suppress those freedoms and diminish self reliance. Keep the good work coming and I'll watch whatever you produce when I can. Stay strong and blessing towards you and your family. PS: Use a pinned comment or something to let us know what other sites you are on or creating so we can continue to follow unimpeded.

Thanks, best of luck in your future. ✌🏻👊🏼

Thanks for the update Careena… wishing you the best on your ventures!

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.

Greetings from Cornwall England, I have watched your videos for some time. Please continue when you can. Quality over quantity every time. I like your layed back presentation. We hardly ever get snow here so love it when you do your winter trips. Cheers

For those of us that have never made a dime off making content… I support you 100% and this is what I strive to keep. I simply record my adventures and want to immortalize them in way that’s fun to watch… if people come along then I’m happy. If not, I’m happy. What I never want to do is be a slave to putting stuff out just to put it out… I want to enjoy the trip, and feel the inspiration to shoot. There are plenty of trips I’ve brought my camera and not shot because I either have already done video too similar, or I just wasn’t feeling it. And let’s all address the elephant in the outdoor YT space: I never want to do cringey thumbnails, no fake shots I have to go back and get the camera I passed, just capturing what I think will be interesting to watch as it happens. Anyway. Good on you and stay true. You’ll end up on top 🤙🏽

Do what you like! Just please don’t disappear!

Be happy. I appreciate any content you are willing to share. Quality is so much more important than quantity.

I’m just a rock drummer Accidentally hit your channel for what it’s worth. Thanks for your honesty and all subscribing all that stuff whatever have a nice day.

KZfaq has gone to 💩. So happy to see your outside photography business has taken off and you can do videos on your terms. I’ll always prefer quality over quantity. God Bless!

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.

I've never seen you before but I respect the honesty. Congratulations to you. I like photography so I think I'll follow you over all.

You have been one of my favorites. I have followed you for years because you are real! My wife and I love watching you.

Refreshing honesty there ,, and what ever it is you choose to do your definitely the kind of person that deserves that break in life and your doing everything right to make it happen 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️

Bonjour Careena, merci pour cette vidéo, je te suis depuis le début j'ai eu une grave opération cardiaque il a 5 ans qui a mis fin à mes randonnés à cheval(mon dernier cheval venait d'Argentine ) ,tes vidéos m'on beaucoup aidés , une nouvelle opération m 'attends d'ici 1 mois j'ai confiance je comprend le monde à changé , le climat aussi encore merci à toi Albert

Quality over Quantity all the way, every way. Good for you to know what you need to do... most people never figure this out...

Thanks for the honest assessment of KZfaq

Glad you’re doing well!

Please do a video on how you got your first clients etc and what they wanted !

Thank you and god bless you and yours on your future endeavors

I just want to say that you work very hard making your videos. I love seeing you out in the woods surviving on your own. I know how hard it is filming a KZfaq video by yourself. Thank you for your hard work!❤

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 ❤

Good luck in your new endeavors! I have really enjoyed your content and consider you one of the best outdoor Canadian content creators!

Been watching since the beginning. Glad to see you have found something outside of KZfaq. I hope that success allows you to do this all together and enjoy your life to the fullest with your family

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 🤙

I have that fjalraven jacket, I love it. I’m bummed that I won’t see you as much, but I understand. You are witnessing what all people that work for corporations are experiencing. The greed has no bounds.

Hi Careena Things don't stay the same forever and we are constantly changing in this modern world 🌎.I would rather have quality over quantity so if once a month is good for you then its good for us. Kind regards Michael

Thanks, I will be waiting for your next post. ✌🏻👊🏼

Three point lighting.. studio shoots, outdoor.. food, cars... All subjects are different. White balance.

It has changed!!! I just film my life and what I am putting into it. I had slowed down but I am back full time and also building my business. It's the season of change :) You got this. Keep Grinding! I used to be Quebec Homestead I changed the name.

So, I just watched this video and, although it saddens me, you're doing the right thing. Your family MUST be your first priority. Your new venture should have your attention as well and I'm sure you know it came along at just the right time. I'm proud of you, young lady, and I wish you God's best! Blessings to you and your family! .

Whether it's once a week or once a month I'll still be looking forward to see your adventures. Thanks for your honesty.

Quality over quantity all times! I feel the same way- if I don’t have something good to put out, then nothing will go out. I hope this next venture makes your heart soar!

I'm here for fun, so I'll always say thanks and appreciate what you choose to share. Glad you are prioritizing something you find fulfilling, and not sacrificing your personal integrity. Its so radical to do this in late stage capitalism. Much support.

HalleluYAH sister. Glad to hear you're well and taking time with other more important parts of life. May YAH Most High bless you abundantly and your family and keep you all safe.

The greed on KZfaq to have 2 ad's at the beginning on videos is evil. They should just have one, but thank God for blocking Ads. Jesus bless you, Alexis!

😊I am glad things are working out for you. Do what you have to do to be happy 😊I feel the same way you do about KZfaq. Keep your eyes to the Sky for strength 😊

Appreciate the raw, honesty. If you’re hard work has gotten you to the point where you can do what you want? More power to you! I commend you! Do what makes you happy! I see you’ll be successful with whatever you do. The gratitude and appreciation shown came thru the screen as well. It reminded me of my favorite KZfaqr, Xander Budnick. 3 things did actually…. 1-The Gratitude! 2-The realness of being yourself, and that being awesome!! 3-The Cinematography(he has a background in that as well) Much love and good fortune!!

What you are saying has been expected from Alphabet, Inc. They get people enjoying great content, like yours, and then they take all of the profit. This was expected by many people. The profits for the content creators should have lasted longer, but greedy, self serving corporations lose sight of those who helped create their success. The days are numbered for Alphabet Inc.....people are not as ignorant nor as unaware as they think. Your content is awesome...please try to find another outlet.

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!

You have to look out for number one. Pretty sure, that , alot of us ,have enjoyed your videos and I still watch some of your old ones. Wishing you all the best in your future . 🇺🇸🇺🇸🪓🔪👍👍

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.

Well I recently stumbled across your channel while looking at motorcycle reviews. Pretty neat channel. I also started a business, in machining, at a young age. Put my soul into it for decades. Enjoy your ventures while you're young and strong. ❤
