A few useful videos you may have missed

May 28, 2026 M.D. Creekmore

Hey folks,

I’ve been going back through some older videos and updating the titles, descriptions, and thumbnails so they’re easier to find.

These are a few practical videos that a lot of people have found useful — especially if you’re interested in rural living, cheap home security, simple living, old-school gear, and common-sense independence…

Can You Live in an RV on Your Own Land?
If you’ve ever thought about buying land and parking a camper or RV on it, there are some things you need to check first.

This $25 Driveway Alarm Actually Works
A cheap rural home-security item I’ve actually used on my own property.

Can You Turn a Shed Into a Cabin?
A look at whether a shed cabin could be a realistic cheap housing option.

Realistic Everyday Carry for Rural Life
What I actually carry daily — not the fake YouTube version where people claim to carry half a backpack in their pockets.

Why the Buck 110 Is Still Worth Carrying
A little old-school knife nostalgia and why some things still matter.

Life After Divorce at 50 Is Better Than I Expected
A more personal video about peace, freedom, and being happier later in life.

If you missed any of these, you can watch them above.

Thanks for watching and supporting the channel.

The Hidden Danger Crawling in Appalachia

May 27, 2026 M.D. Creekmore

I just posted a new video from here in Appalachia about what I believe may be one of the most dangerous things we deal with outdoors — and it’s not snakes, bears, or anything most people would guess.

Ticks are getting bad, and they can carry some serious illnesses. In this video, I talk about why I’m more concerned about ticks than just about anything else in the woods, and what I do to avoid bringing them home.

People Are Losing It in Appalachia

May 21, 2026 M.D. Creekmore

I just posted a new video over on YouTube, and I think this is one a lot of people are going to relate to.

It feels like folks are on edge everywhere lately — on the road, in stores, at work, and just out in public. I’m seeing it here in Appalachia too. People are stressed, short-tempered, broke, tired, and pushed closer to the edge than they probably want to admit.

This video isn’t just about one incident. It’s about the mood I’m seeing out here now — and I don’t think it’s just my imagination.

YouTube has been a little strange lately about what it pushes out and what it doesn’t, so I’m sharing it here too. If you watch it, leaving a like or comment over on YouTube helps let the system know people are interested in this kind of video.

The Less I Give a Sh*t, the Better Life Gets

May 18, 2026 M.D. Creekmore

Some of you have told me you don’t always see my new videos when they go up, even if you’re subscribed. Sometimes YouTube shows them, sometimes it doesn’t. That’s just the way it seems to be now.

So I wanted to send this quick email and let you know I posted a new video:

The Less I Give a Sh*t, the Better Life Gets

It’s about worry, stress, getting older, and learning to stop wasting energy on things we can’t fix, can’t change, and have no control over.

I’ve spent too much of my life worrying about things that were already done, things that might never happen, and things I couldn’t do anything about anyway. At some point, you have to learn to let some of it go.

If YouTube doesn’t show it to you, at least now you know it’s there.

Thanks for watching and supporting the channel.

Only 125 Appalachian Freedom Files USB drives are left.

April 29, 2026 M.D. Creekmore

Orders placed now will ship Friday.

And once these are gone, that’s it — I’m not planning to order more.

This drive contains hundreds of preparedness, self-reliance, old-time skills, survival, homesteading, and practical knowledge files all in one place. No digging around. No hunting through dead links. No depending on the internet being available when you need something.

I put this together because I believe useful knowledge should be saved, backed up, and kept close.

But I only have 125 left, and they’re first come, first served.

If you’ve been thinking about getting one, now is the time.

Don’t wait until they’re gone and then wish you had ordered.

👉 Order here: https://mdcreekmore.com/freedom-files-drive/
