Well, it has been 1 year since I uploaded my first video and a lot has changed. I tried out a lot of different type of videos and many people subscribed to this channel for different reasons. So my question to you as a viewer is this:
1. What video made you subscribe?
2. Why did you subscribe?
3 What type of videos do you want to see moving forward?

I want to make videos that you guys value and want to watch. That is the whole point of YouTube. So please let me know down in the comments as it will greatly effect the direction of this channel moving forward!

Thank you to everyone who has watched, liked and especially subscribed over the last year!

What's up everyone!? So stoked to have you here at the Active Dad community! My name is Jimmy and I have an amazing wife named Meg. We live in Arizona with our son, Brady, that was born in January of 2020. He such a sweet, happy boy and has learned a lot already. We got him a helmet to fix plagiocephaly around 5-1/2 helmets so be sure to follow along with his progress! My wife and I are both very active people who love camping, hiking, mountain biking, snowboarding, wakeboarding and many others. Probably the thing that I'm most excited about with being a parent, is teaching my kids about all the fun activities there are to do in this world that I love.

We post multiple videos a week and would love to have you follow along on our journey!

    Keep it up - we love to do all the things you do. I subscribed because I was thinking of moving to Arizona. Now I’m wondering if I should! 😟 . Keep up the reviews and also things to do with the kids!
  • @thegracecass
    I subscribed because my husband and I are moving to Idaho this summer, sight unseen as well. I enjoyed your video because it made me feel like we weren't the craziest humans alive for doing that. I've stayed because your content has such high quality! Any videos on Idaho life and outdoorsy content is my vote!
  • @nirvanaazul
    I came to your channel through Dad's verb channel, which I love. I like the idea of family a channel with reviews and also family trips. I have a 12 months old, we love the snow too, the outdoors and doing fun stuff, so I instantly liked your content on snowboarding with a toddler. Your way of story telling is awesome too. I'll stay here for a while. All the best!
  • @travis8210
    I love the snowboarding videos. I have a 6 week old and am excited to get him started next winter!
  • @AmeliaQualters
    I subscribed because I am a fellow family vlogger and have similar interests in the outdoor activities like you! I really enjoy watching creative content like yours...and I know how much work is put into it so that is not unnoticed! I think it was the Taking Cara Babies video that helped me to find you. I think it's great that you are documenting your journey as a father and now your son will also have beautiful videos to look back on :)
  • @primowendy
    Your channel qas in my recommended today. I watch a lot of videos of couples who move to remote areas and build their homes together such as life uncontained. I live in AZ so I'm not sure why the algorithm added you to my home but I'm checking out your content.
  • @TheMahaMousa
    I subscribed to your channel because of the videos of you son's helmet journey, baby gear and your moving from Arizona to Idaho ... You are honest, true and natural ... i didn't found some silly videos to just gathet likes and views ... please don't do that!! Your channel is like the life of all of us ... no fancy weired ideas ... and that is the reason for me to subs. By the way, i'm Egyptian living in The Netherlands 😉 Keep it up and thanks for your "good" videos.
  • Subscribed from the Mockingbird Stroller Review. I'm here for the gear reviews and parenting tips!
  • I sub because Dadverb mentioned your collab. But I did look at your other videos and my husband and I love your editing and filming style. We have an 18m daughter and we love to know what baby/toddler gears are new. We can’t keep up with all the brands products and since we can’t touch it seeing a detailed video feels like we did. But we do like occasional vlogs to feel like we’re friends and get a life update and “build a relationship”. Your doing great! Happy to follow!
  • @GeminiDiscover
    We found your channel because we were considering moving to Arizona from the PNW -- currently not planning on doing that lol. We subbed for the baby content as we're about to become new parents and have no clue what we need. Would love to see more reviews on gear that helps you maintain your "active dad" lifestyle with a little one, plus fun vlogs showing off Idaho.
  • @IdahoOutdoorDad
    Haha I legit subscribed when I saw your Idaho vid, scanned your channel and saw you do a lot of the same stuff I like to do with my kids and we neighbors haha. I’ve found a ton of things to do here in my two years in Idaho but always great to see what others doing
  • @M3LTUP
    I subbed because i find your story interesting. There is a great migration happening. And i like to hear peoples stories. Idaho looks nice.
  • @davis1024jevron
    Just found this channel my daughter is almost 2 months, the in home videos are key it’s so necessary to see what’s worked so it’s nice to try those first I like your channel for the variety but definitely need help being able to give my wife a break
  • @tracybrent6293
    You guys are wonderful parents have a wonderful life have one more kid LOL
  • I subscribed from the leaving Arizona video, I wondered why you all were leaving here. Then I just kept watching more videos.
  • Your video moving from AZ got me interested in how it’s going in Idaho..video editing was nice too..
  • @minimattm
    I subscribed to the baby gear videos. I loved your channel name and was looking for active dad advice. As an active dad myself I’d love some tips and advice on living this lifestyle. More active adventure videos please! How do you balance dadlife with your own need for adventure, workouts and what’s the best way to inspire your kids to live this lifestyle? Love your snowboard video too!
  • I enjoy vlogs! My husband, toddler and I moved to a new state away from family and it’s been really hard to be so far without help or company, so I’d love to see updates on your new house, etc!
  • @UltraDad
    I subscribed because I am interested in moving to Idaho.
