 Welcome back to the channel everybody. Good to have you here. Good to be with you. Come with me. Let me show you something that's going on here. Walk with me through the shadows of the trees here. Upsetting. This is Upset OSG and me as well. Just look at this. What the hey y'all. Look at my dad gum boot compared to the size of this hole everywhere. Massive massive holes here. Massive massive holes. The bird feeder which has turned into a everything feeder. Also producing a lot of traffic down here. And look at all these little huffy prints. Actually they're not even little. Those are actually good. Those are good size. I've pretty much had it with this beeswax y'all. This this hog. I can't tell if it's Gimpy or another bigger hog or if Gimpy has just grown and got over his limp. But here lately he has just been coming into the yard and destroying it. And just when the grass is really starting to grow the old Kentucky bluegrass that's been in the yard. I mean even up here what the heck. What the heck man. He's even been right up here in the top portion of the yard. It's not like I'm putting feet. I haven't even put corn out in the yard at all lately. It's just springtime I guess. Grubs are in the ground. He knows they're here. He's coming back in the same areas. He's even messed up my little retaining walls over here. I have had it. And I don't know how many videos of this hog just coming in and now just destroying the place. So we got to do something about it y'all. So anyway that saga continues over at the Lake Life family channel. If you have not subscribed yet go do it. Please just go subscribe to the family channel. That's me, OSG, Emmy and the creatures around the treehouse. Channel just needs to get to a hundred thousand subscribers and I know there's plenty of you out here watching the videos. Perfectly capable with your fingers right now you have the power to go make that a hundred thousand subscriber channel. Our comments are disabled over there and I can't communicate with YouTube through the Lake Life channel until it reaches a hundred thousand subscribers. They just won't even acknowledge that I exist over here. Not having comments takes away a ton of the fun in the channel. It takes away the ability for you to communicate with us and us to communicate back to you without just saying things on the camera. You know it's the point of YouTube and social media which brings me to my next agenda. I've been thinking about this for about the past year and it is just finally reached the point where I am ready. The channel is ready. I hope you are ready. I want to bring in an editor on this channel so that so far it's just been me and Stephanie editing all these videos and editing process it just it takes up a lot of my time. One of the things that it holds me back from is creating more content. A lot of times I'm already thinking of the next video idea and editing holds me up from being able to go do that and I've just got a lot of other stuff going on with with Gug and Bates and in Gug Squad and the other things we have going and that I I want to dedicate my time to so my time is full guys. It is full and I need your help. I've had a couple of inquiries in the past but I'm sending out the official word today. If you are interested in getting into this outdoor space being an editor where you're putting your spin, your creativity on my footage and working together on videos, on projects for both Lake Fork Guy Channel plus working with the Lake Life Channel and maybe some other projects. Maybe you already have quite a bit of experience and just looking maybe you're looking for something to edit in the outdoor space instead of you know working on something else. I don't know. I know there's a ton of you out there and I wanted to ask you guys first before I started looking at you know but just asking around for people and going on job sites and stuff like that I really don't want to do that. I'd rather get somebody that already kind of knows the content and already has a little bit of background on everything that we do. You don't have to be an editing whiz to apply for this position. When I started learning how to edit I didn't know anything. Actually when I became a camera guy I didn't know anything about operating a camera. The point was though that I had I had creativity and I had the eye. I had fished so much I've been in the outdoors. I knew what to look for and I knew what people would probably want to see. If you have that at least let me know. My email is down below. Please don't email me if you're not serious about it though. I want to make sure to go through everyone that is serious and give them a good look. So if you've got some links to some content leave it in the email where I can go view it. If you don't and you're still serious about it just let me know some of the reasons why and we're gonna we're gonna hire somebody. We're gonna hire somebody pretty soon but I wanted to let you know first because I love you. You've been here a while. You are creative. There's tons of you that are just very talented. I know this. That's why I wanted to let you know first. Now there's a lot of things I got to do today. First of all I need to get something to eat and I haven't had Chick-fil-A today so I'm probably gonna do that first. Chick-fil-A you make my day. I swear I'm not sponsored by them. I would love to own a franchise one of these days though. The first things I need to do today I've been painting to two for weeks but it's just dangle time and it's hard. It's hard to get away from the water and I need to finish this table. This is where my tools are gonna go and then I've got another one that I'm going to be building for tackle and I'm gonna take some of these finishing nails right here and attach this top. This is for any of y'all that are curious. 16 gauge inch and a half 38 millimeters if you're overseas. I've put two by sixes on here and I've got some cedar posts on here as well but I'm just going around the edges and attaching the top. I've got it positioned where I want it. This table is is pretty easy to make. I've just wood glued it, squared it up the best I can. It's not really square wood. You'll see how far this one goes in here. Do a little tester. I want it to go all the way through. Definitely did. There we go. Rock and roll with it. So even though this table isn't the most beautiful, it's designed to be functional but something I do want to do is just take a border of some darker wood. Maybe some black walnut or something like that. Go around the edges of this table just to give it a little better look and it's not too hard to do honestly. This was probably a hundred bucks of materials from Home Depot. Gonna have a bottom piece down here. Gonna do like a smaller MDF board. It's gonna go in here and then I'll be able to set tools inside of it. Still need to get one board to run across there and one for down here to make that happen but at least we've got the top secure. I don't have a planer joiner so everything is not perfectly in line. I've got some crookedness there but that's what the little dark piece of wood that's gonna go around this border is gonna be for so I can cover up a little bit of that. But that's basically what you can do with some four by fours and two by sixes and a little MDF board from Home Depot. Not too shabby. Guggen HQ. If you haven't subscribed to the Guggen channel, this is our new space. This is where we come and create things. We just wrapped up yesterday. Another good week and really our first week here at the warehouse. We gave away one of the boats. We have a couple of boats. If you sign up for the monthly t-shirts, we give a boat away or have done that for the last two years. This way we're giving away two. Had a nice really nice Aggie family come up here actually from San Antonio and they won the boat. Went home with that and right now we've got a bunch of toys in here. We got the silver bullet in here. Rob's boats in here. We get the free range truck. John's boat is here and then we have a lot of our furniture from the old house sitting over here in the corner. So focus for the space now. Is to basically make this a content creation center and involve all the great outdoor things that we love. So what I wanted to do today was just bring up my my archery target and my bow. Shoot it around a little bit. We'll probably end up doing a a full-time archery center in here or archery corner and then just kind of clean up a little bit. You know Guggen Week is a little crazy. Get a little out of control. Luckily I'm close. I'm probably gonna be up here a lot. So you guys can see some behind-the-scenes stuff right here on my channel and we've got some of our back stock and Guggen Bates for the store. We've got organized. Rob actually inventoryed the whole entire thing. We are getting ready to do an opening, a grand opening of this place. I think it's in June 15th but it's gonna be in June. So if you want to see inside of the store and us building this place out all those videos are coming up soon on the Guggen Squad channel. Well I had a bunch of stuff from the Guggen House still at my house for some reason. Not really sure why. Why I had all these balls. Why they ended up over here. Heads up Carl. Catch. Not so much. I have not touched these basketballs since the last basketball game we played. We actually did a sporting challenge yesterday and I injured my knee and that's why I'm not exercising my lower body today and I really need to. Y'all I'm leaving for New Zealand very soon. Another really nice thing about the warehouses. We can keep our gear here like the silver bullet and we can keep it clean. That's why we got a power washer and what the crap. I guess John left his rods in my in my boat. Looks like he's got some pretty serious danglers going on there. It's very fair to say it's been a bit disorganized up here since we've been moving in and this week was crazy because it was raining and hailing and we found out about some leaks that we didn't know were there. Eventually I'd like to have both my garage and the Guggen garage organized where we can come in here and if we're running out of lures or something that's like okay Bamedito Bugs natural. We've got a whole bin right here. You know crankbaits. Oh we got this. Oh we got all of our line right here all nice and organized. We even got coffee right in here. So when you're running low on that life gets pretty rough. So we've even got that. We've got some empty B-boxes in here. This is old like fall stuff you know this is gonna just get put by the wayside. Some good stuff in here though. Just wrapped up filming a little Instagram tip for you guys about spooling your line onto a spinning rail without getting any tangles. I'm just tying a little hook on here just in case the dangle is in the near future. And while I got it in my hand if you want to check out Guggen line just pulled up with some of the monofilament on a spinning rod and check it out at shopcarls.com. I'll leave the link down below but that line is available and it's good. It's affordable and I think you guys will enjoy using it. I need to get some more of these money bags because I realize these would be perfect for my hunt in New Zealand. These size and a little bit smaller to put camera gear, clothes, foods. These are really good for hunting as well. Maybe a little dense for for my mountain hunt but I'll probably use them anyway. It feels good that we actually have an office here now come up here work. We actually got our lead producer here right now Wes. He's working on some stuff. It's like a campus you know? Guggen campus. I love it. Just opened my live well and realized there's some still some minnows in there. Can't believe it. Thought I got all these minnows out. Took the other extra minnows that were in there put them in the fish tank that's in there fed them to Gary but I need to scoop these guys out somehow. Hopefully. Wow did I get all them on the first shot? That's pretty darn amazing. Okay Gary. Let's see what you got buddy. Actually the bluegills might get them too. Oh yep bluegills trying to get them. Yep. Yep. And oh oh yeah. Look at that bluegill. Voracious. Gary sees what's going on. Gary you gonna let that nice succulent minnow just get right by you? I don't think so. Look at the quiver. These other ones are smart staying on the herd. Gary has identified another one. Come on Gary. Come on Gary. Oh you kidding me? You gonna let that slide? Get in there. Get in there on that minnow. Okay well he's not gonna eat. As a side note the catfish is getting huge. That thing was like a finger length when we first put it in there. Power washers up. Actual washers still not put up. I put John B's rods up. Organized. A lot of our lures and such play things feel accomplished. Lead producer Mr. West Davis leaving for the day. Did you get some beautiful content created today? Absolutely. Always getting the goods. Say goodbye everybody. Mr. West. He's the mastermind. He's the one that makes us Gugans actually look good. If that's even possible but he's the man. I've never killed a turkey. Still on the quest and I'd love to kill one with my bow as well. I'd like to kill one with a shotgun first but killing one with a bow would be extra special. So it's nice we have this space where we can practice even in bad conditions. I was actually hunting a turkey. I think we're still okay folks. I actually felt really good right there pulling that bow back and I think it's due to just working out a little bit more preparing for this hunt. So my buddy JT he is hunting with his bow like straight up. Like he is not even picking up a gun in New Zealand until he gets one with a bow. That's our hardcore he is and we're talking like an average shot you know 150-300 yards usually. I can't wait to document his his experience with that. I'm kind of taking the cheaters way out. Not really a cheaters way but traditional hunting not using the bow just because I want to get it done. I've never done anything like this before. I want to make sure I get to enjoy the experience of harvesting an animal. But bow hunting mad respect for all bow hunters. My bow my stabilizer is actually a light so if I wanted to stay up and get old hoggy I could with this guy but I'd rather not have him squealing with an arrow in him running through the neighborhood. That's why you have that rock right there. Thank goodness for OSG. Yes. Did you hear me out? I did. You're never out here. You're always inside. By the way her daughter is right here. Well I picked me up a passenger over at LFD's. She's asleep now. She was so happy to have her bottle. This little bottle? Water bottle. Yeah she was happy to have it. The simplest joys. Luckily OSG she's never outside because she's always inside with Emmy and she was right here and originally I passed my rock. This is my rock right here that's how I know where to stop the boat and I went past the rock and I hit my hit my motor right here which I like having that there. You know number one it looks like a park like a park that I go to here in Texas and other states but it also is a nice little wooden deal right there for my prop to hit instead of these rocks. We got anything good for dinner tonight honey? We sure do. What do we got? Chicken enchiladas. Chicken enchiladas. Yes. Want to talk Matt? Alright y'all we're gonna shut it down right here. Thank you for coming along. Don't forget to email me if you wanted to be an editor at these vlogs. I'm doing fishing videos like I do the more intense you know longer form fishing videos. I put out a couple of those a week. Those are my faves. I do vlogs like this just kind of showing the day-to-day and then I've also got the family vlogs over at the Lake Life family channel stuff around here. So when we get an editor it'll probably change up a little bit but that's just kind of what we got for now. Hit the notifications on this channel subscribe but hit those little ding-dongs so you don't miss a single dangle and I just want to take a second to thank y'all because we just hit 700,000 subscribers on the LFG fishing channel y'all. That is amazing. When I started this channel I had no clue, no number. When I started this channel there wasn't even a whole lot of viewership on YouTube to begin with so just to have a consistent steady growth. It hasn't been the fastest growing channel. It hasn't had you know explosive growth or anything like that but I have to thank you guys because if it wasn't for you we wouldn't have this steady consistent growth right here and I'm not gonna change my ways I'm gonna keep keep doing what I'm doing and I love you guys I just want to say thank you for tuning in so go ahead and hit those ding-dongs tune in for every single video and I do hope to see you right back here on the next one hope you're having a blessed day and I will see you next time.
