As a long-time viewer, who originally subscribed for backpacking content, I very much enjoy the new mystery content as well. I don't see a need for two channels as I watch pretty much everything you put out regardless of which style of video.

[IcyThrowAwa]

because of you i have purchased $700 in backpacking gear and start the Appalachian trail in 3 weeks, love ur content!!!

[boysam]

Your hiker mystery videos are actually what led me down the thru hiker content. Its made me want to start backpacking real bad. Keep up the good work.

The trail mystery/crime videos are unique to your channel. There are thousands of gear, resupply, trail towns, and how-to from using trekking poles to shiting in the woods videos . I still watch many of them, but the trail crimes and mysteries are a nice change.

[brucewooley]

BTW Kyle it's not only content (the stories themselves) but presentation of the facts and offering probable scenarios that could explain a persons action that really make your videos interesting. And a sense of humor helps any video, so go with your strength my friend and 200k is a reachable goal.

Ngl I’m more likely to watch your trail info/tips/packing videos since your channel has the mystery content! Because like others have said everyone does the latter videos, but yours is unique because it’s not solely mystery stuff, but you tie it in with educational tips on how to avoid situations like this and/or help others. Keep the mystery stuff on this channel!

Please do a video on Aron Christiansen, he is the man you mentioned who was murdered near packwood/goat rocks area. It was actually near Wallupt lake. And yes the people who did it are not held accountable for anything. They were related to a sheriff if I remember correctly. It has angered alot of us that live in the same county. Corrupt enforcement agency. It would be nice to put this on the forefront. Ty and love your videos ❤

Totally agree with your permit comment. We hurried out to Utah last year when we heard Angles Landing was going to one. We've been trying to get into Yosemite for like 5 yrs now with no luck. And most of the lottery systems you have to pay just to enter, it's not the way our National Park system was meant to be. We did the lottery for Pictured Rocks 50 mile hike and got it 2 yrs ago. Every camp site is designated, and you have to carry your printed receipt as proof. 3rd night in, some jerks in our site with no copy of his itinerary. You're 30 miles from nowhere, no cell service, and we're the ones going to the group camp site! Now you have people reserving camp sites for weeks, paying for it, and only showing up when they want. Leaving empty camp spots all because these parks don't want to man offices with enough staff to handle to handle taking reservations and cancelations by phone. Sorry for the rant. It's a sore topic for me. 1st time viewer, like the content. In my opinion, the AT has higher numbers cause more hoodlums use it to hide out.

I'm a very occasional backpacker. I got sick a while back and haven't gotten to do it much lately, but I found your channel through the newer true crime content and am loving it. Keep it up, I bet you'll grow and grow. It's a great mix.

[cpruns]

I actually faded off your channel for a bit after your hike was over. I mean....how much can I really take in about hiking BUT this true crime stuff is amazing! I can't get enough of that content. What makes it so amazing is you giving your spin on it. Listening to someone who has been in those situations and can bring real world knowledge and experience to these stories is awesome!! Keep em coming:)

[pattibrown]

I've been binge watching your videos. I'm a new subscriber, going through a difficult situation, and you are totally saving me right now! Thanks so much, I absolutely love your videos!❤✌🤙

[Cindyscrossstitch]

I wouldn't start another channel, it takes a long time to build up a channel. I love the deep dives you do on the murder mysteries, you do an excellent job on them. Good vibes sent to flossy🌻👣

[aliniedbalski]

Appreciate the coverage if Scott L! I grew up in his hometown of South Bend, IN and remember being a little kid hearing friends of the family mourn his loss. As someone who enjoys true crime and hiking I appreciate your crossover and concern for these stories that may fall through the cracks of crime coverage 🤜🏼🏆💫

[RaviStarr]

I think having hiking exclusive vids and hiking mysteries on the same channel is a good idea for growing your channel. I was recommended a video of yours because I watch true crime/supernatural stuff and then I end up watching your hiking videos as well. And it's not like you're doing hiking plus makeup tutorials or something lol. It's all related to hiking.

[Harry-Giles]

I think the AT likely has a higher murder rate due to being surrounded by more people living along the way. Versus the relative isolation of much of the PCT.

[karenabigsmile]

I understand how you feel about lotteries and permits. I do not like them either, however; having spent a significant part of my life working with National Parks doing trail maintenance, I saw first hand the amount of damage hikers can do not only to trails but surrounding area’s. Also the disruption to wildlife. Hikers who stay on the trail and practice environmental ethics do less damage but I feel preserving the wild-ness is more important than eliminating permits and lotteries.

I think the AT has easier access to towns then most of the PCT and that alone can be why there are more violent crimes on the AT then the PCT.

Love your channel mate, have been a fan of me ballen with my morbid curiosity lol. Live in Australia, never been a hiker but 12 years ago hiked the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu and it was only about 54 odd kms but with very steep gradients! Never been the fittest person but I can tell you that those 4 days kinda by myself pushing through the most beautiful of terrain was the best 4 days of my life! Makes me think of wanting to get into hiking more and your channel is really enlightening. Just wanted to say your channel rocks and thanks from Australia! ☺️

[Sirshackleton]

I like your channel just the way it is. You are entertaining whether you’re talking about hiking or a mystery/crime on trail.

[hikinggsdmom]

Just submitting some uninvited input: I think this avenue of true crime hiker videos has just added another dimension to your channel. It gives it a little more dimension, diversity, and a refreshing variety. Splitting it into another channel would just limit you to very finite limitations on each channel, and also double the workload for you to maintain both channels. I would love to see the new material weave its way into a regular occurrence. It could look like maybe once a month dedicating a video to a new mystery, and integrate it with your traditional content that you release. Either way, I love everything you put out and appreciate all the new content you’ve been delivering.

[catking]

I’ve been subscribed since before the hiking mystery videos, because it’s a dream of mine to through hike one day. But I’m also a huge fan of mysteries, missing people cases, and true crime, especially with a nature theme, as I spend a lot of time in the backcountry. So I’ve been really liking the hiking content mixed with the true crime/nature mysteries. Please keep it up!
