Well... someone should let him know about Reddit! I'm pretty sure he has ZERO idea there's an entire Media Platform that's excited to sleep/relax with him
Peak design makes a phone case that magnetically and physically clamps to a bike mount. They have a couple. The one with the rubber strap i have mounted to my shower rod. Boom, relaxing shower and a YouTube video.
Also, if you don’t want to buy a whole phone case they also sell adhesive adapters. They’re a great company. They have a certified resale page, and everything has a lifetime guarantee, which they have honored for me on a couple of issues that were mostly my fault. So, yes, they are pricey but one of the few companies that put a guarantee behind their name.
Little update: He's released a video thanking everyone for all the supporting comments and the tiktoker who made the video that got him the subscribers. Super heartwarming to see.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjl7x1t4TnQ
I want to be there when he sees this massive, overnight jump in subs and breaks into tears of wonder and amazement. Then I want to cry with him and give him a huge hug and thank him because his videos remind me of stuff my grandpa would do and I miss him dearly.
Usually you say subscribed. You can join some YouTube channels which involves paying the Youtuber a small fee that enables you to get perks from that channel.
He has posted a thank you video and seems the most humble dude ever.
You can tell he just loves the outdoors and when you spread your love of a hobby, what's not to like!
I love it! Now it’s 10:16 and he has 173k.
There’s another one that showed a sad author at his book signing. His book is now #1 on Amazon. It’s heartwarming to see we’re not all the a-holes it seems like we are.
He has been making videos all this time because he loves it, not for the views or the recognition.
I think that's where a lot of content creators are missing the point.

Lol I used to watch this old man who was well into his 80’s(but great shape for age) on YouTube, he was well off financially(lived in a mansion basically) but would make these great videos of kissing his wife goodbye to go live like a literal hobo for a week on foot randomly roaming with just a rolled up sack on a stick like you’d see on ol’timey cartoons! He would find these amazing spots, eat plants/fish he caught, make candles, using nothing but old stuff(old knife, canteen, mess kit, and a wool blanket), and would tell the most amazing stories of his past days roaming the USA as a young teen… wish I could remember his channel or find it again, he had such a great attitude and you could see him turn into a kid again as he roamed around…
Seriously, these are the kinds of Youtube videos I love. Cinematically they are garbage, the content is typically boring, but somebody is showing you something they love that is off the beaten map and I have planned my best vacations off of videos like every one this guy has posted.
There are few things cooler to me than hiking to the trendy photo op spot and then hiking another 4 miles to the infinitely cooler spot that nobody knows about.
I'd rather watch and listen to "old guy" sing to his dog than MOST U-Tube posts- you know the ones!
(They seem to be attempting to make a point. I end up pointlessly annoyed and/or confused.
I RARELY watch U-Tube, but I'd watch/listen to "old guy" over most, any day..
I hate to admit it…I’ve been checking his channel the past two hours just watching his subscribers number rocket. So freaking close to 100k!!! Man o man. I’m on the edge of my seat. I need to sleep.
When you look at most of the rest of youtube and compare it to these videos, it becomes very clear that we're using the internet very, very, very wrong.
This was always what I imagined the internet would be in the 80s.
People talking about life, sharing experiences, just teaching each other…I never thought we would end up with what we have now.
Just went and subscribed and he now has 73K subscribers and his videos now have thousands of views. I really love this. Wholesome internet for the win.
Here’s another great channel especially if you like cats, llamas, sheep, and dogs… with a little bit of Irish thrown in

He made an update video and mentioned you in the comment. I'm glad this man got some love.
Well... someone should let him know about Reddit! I'm pretty sure he has ZERO idea there's an entire Media Platform that's excited to sleep/relax with him
To sleep with him you say?
🤣 🤣
I mean,.I'm old, and boring....
What happens in the woods, stays in the woods
Boring can have two meanings, right?
Take a hike!
edit: was going to "fix" original comment to "sleep/relax TO him", buuuut ya know what? The votes speak for themselves! I'm leaving it!
“Until next time, take a hike, and God bless.” This man is an absolute treasure
Everyone who hates wholesome things: Aight where I put my copyright mouse
Oh my goodness! What a superiorly wholesome find! This man is a treasure.
I love this so much, thank you for sharing!
Subscribed! <3
You got a shoutout video. Neat!
Take a hike.
That was my favorite part lol
What a great name and channel. Relaxing in the coach because i can't sleep after a night shift and having a glass of wine while watching his videos.
Mine is a shower beer whilst watching relaxing stuff.
Not a bad choice at all
You have a way to watch videos in the shower?? I think I need to know more

Okay but ngl I've used a gallon zip lock bag and a plastic hanger with the clamps on the sides (pants hanger), and hung it on my shower rod 🙃...
Little update: He's released a video thanking everyone for all the supporting comments and the tiktoker who made the video that got him the subscribers. Super heartwarming to see. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjl7x1t4TnQ
That was so sweet. And now he might change the name of his channel.

Thank you and hey never too late to learn anything right?
It’s the small things that matter, I love posts like this! Share the love!
I want to be there when he sees this massive, overnight jump in subs and breaks into tears of wonder and amazement. Then I want to cry with him and give him a huge hug and thank him because his videos remind me of stuff my grandpa would do and I miss him dearly.
He just posted a gratitude video - worth the watch!
I just joined my first Youtube channel (if that's the right term.)
Usually you say subscribed. You can join some YouTube channels which involves paying the Youtuber a small fee that enables you to get perks from that channel.
Lol he's got 66k subs now hell yeah
115k now. Crazy how a couple of posts can blow a channel up like that.
Dude, I freakin LOVE when kind-hearted folks bring well-deserved fame to others like this.
He posted a new video 5 mins ago!
Wonder if he’s single? I’d like a boring old guy like him.
What don’t you find out. You miss all the shots you don’t take 🙃
Lovely ♥️
He posted this an hour ago. It's really a sweet video. https://youtu.be/hjl7x1t4TnQ
*THIS* is exactly what we all need right now.
70k and rising this why reddit the best imo
On my way to show some love ❤️
The dad I wish I had.
He has posted a thank you video and seems the most humble dude ever. You can tell he just loves the outdoors and when you spread your love of a hobby, what's not to like!
Channels like this, and moments like this are what made me fall in love with Reddit.
I subscribed and liked I hope he gets to a 100k
7:30am central time zone here - he’s at 140k!
9:48am central and he's at 166k!! How cool is that!
I love it! Now it’s 10:16 and he has 173k. There’s another one that showed a sad author at his book signing. His book is now #1 on Amazon. It’s heartwarming to see we’re not all the a-holes it seems like we are.
It's almost 5:30 central and he's almost at a quarter of a million subscribers! Let's fucking go!
Good job Reddit
This makes me so happy. Went and subscribed and he’s up to over 70k subs!!
He reminds me so much of my late father. Literally started crying while watching one of his videos.
This is where Reddit can do something nice for an individual. 87.6k subs now
Done...68.4k subscribers
18 minutes later 69.5k nice, just.. nice
3 hours later he's over 80k
Over 90 thousand

It’s “Married Life” from Up.
Thanks
Boring old guy jams. He’s got his own playlist on Spotify.

Let's make his subscribers 100k! He is on 72k subscribers now! Lets gooooooo!
123k at 330am pacific time. He’s in WA so he’s going to wake up in the morning and trip.
He has been making videos all this time because he loves it, not for the views or the recognition. I think that's where a lot of content creators are missing the point.

https://www.youtube.com/@boringoldguy796
easiest sub of my life
Ok Reddit, time to fuck him up with like and subscribe on YT
I just spend the last half hour watching him tell me to take a hike. I will be doing this all weekend. Thank you!❤️
Lol I used to watch this old man who was well into his 80’s(but great shape for age) on YouTube, he was well off financially(lived in a mansion basically) but would make these great videos of kissing his wife goodbye to go live like a literal hobo for a week on foot randomly roaming with just a rolled up sack on a stick like you’d see on ol’timey cartoons! He would find these amazing spots, eat plants/fish he caught, make candles, using nothing but old stuff(old knife, canteen, mess kit, and a wool blanket), and would tell the most amazing stories of his past days roaming the USA as a young teen… wish I could remember his channel or find it again, he had such a great attitude and you could see him turn into a kid again as he roamed around…
Seriously, these are the kinds of Youtube videos I love. Cinematically they are garbage, the content is typically boring, but somebody is showing you something they love that is off the beaten map and I have planned my best vacations off of videos like every one this guy has posted. There are few things cooler to me than hiking to the trendy photo op spot and then hiking another 4 miles to the infinitely cooler spot that nobody knows about.
I'd rather watch and listen to "old guy" sing to his dog than MOST U-Tube posts- you know the ones! (They seem to be attempting to make a point. I end up pointlessly annoyed and/or confused. I RARELY watch U-Tube, but I'd watch/listen to "old guy" over most, any day..
I hate to admit it…I’ve been checking his channel the past two hours just watching his subscribers number rocket. So freaking close to 100k!!! Man o man. I’m on the edge of my seat. I need to sleep.
He’s gone from 240 subs to 109k dude is a legend
The way he sings to his dog pure love ❤️
When you look at most of the rest of youtube and compare it to these videos, it becomes very clear that we're using the internet very, very, very wrong.
He’s sitting at 160k now, it’s lovely to see a community come together! Very wholesome, also I found my new wholesome grandpa to watch anytime!
This was always what I imagined the internet would be in the 80s. People talking about life, sharing experiences, just teaching each other…I never thought we would end up with what we have now.
WELP, looks like this man is about to have a lot of new subscribers. :-)
I love Reddit so much for stuff like this. Went to his page, his videos have over 150k views and now I'm crying. I love you guys
