You are really a master of wild collection. You dare to catch snakes and centipedes with your bare hands. Today, you are here to catch tarantulas. I admire your spirit of exploration!

"they do this when they don't want to be disturbed.... Let's disturb it"

Bro how you have so little views is beyond me. If you keep it up, it’s only a matter of time before the algorithm picks up on it and your channel will skyrocket

I love your channel, it helps me with my arachnophobia :) Thank you for making these videos!

These look like the tarantulas that I find every year in the summer at my house. They even make their way into our house on occasion. I live in the Sierran Foothills as well. Perhaps the burrows are so large because they have taken over abandoned gopher holes.

wow just found your channel, i must say im so impressed by your prowess in this field of study! my brother has owned a lot of lizards and spiders, and ive always visited him and been fascinated by them. ive always actually wanted to have a pet centipede (one of the BIG fellas) so ive been doing tons of research and watching videos, and your videos have popped up in my youtube feed. your vids are super interesting and entertaining, you are absolutely fearless. I hope to someday be as knowledgeable and confident in this field as you!

I grew up in NorCal around Sacramento and even though I spent all my time outdoors hiking, biking, etc. i never saw even half of the critters you show off in your videos. Clearly, I just didn't know where to look. If your channel had been around when I was young I'd have had a menagerie of bugs crawling around my room. thanks for all of your content now!

Interesting..found your video while attempting to figure out what I have living in a hole, beneath a rock by the back patio...definitely a tarantula, and looks to be a Johnny Cash (appearance is right) I live in the southern Sierras in the Tehachapi Region. Very cool...we have a star in the yard.
