This is a YouTube Channel with millions of subscribers that I watched several episodes of about a year ago when I binged on outdoor survival videos. He makes millions from the channel. My son in Nome is on the one that is coming out Saturday, taking him crabbing for King Crabs. I will post it then. I've got the advance copy and am seven minutes in to the 40-minute video. So far I've seen John-Adrian for two seconds delivering an auger. He is bundled up, but I recognised his voice just from the "O-ho" greeting. Did you know you can have a Romanian accent just saying "O-ho?"
JA comes in very briefly at around 7 minutes and at the end, but mostly from 15:40 to 20 min, the one with the red upper snowsuit, pulling up crab after crab. So the kid from the small Transylvanian peasant village under communism will now have over 8 million people worldwide watching him catch King Crab in Nome. A good metaphor for how the world has changed in his 39 years.
Regarding the channel in general, it's clear that part of the charm is that he doesn't hide his mistakes or the things that go wrong. They get up too early so there's not good light to shoot the ptarmigans. He gets the pickup stuck in the snow and has to get tugged out. He puts a lot of focus on what gets eaten, just as JA's wife Jocie does with her TikTok account with a million followers.
