REEL YOUTUBE - New Year, New Direction

 After some thought today have decided I am going in a slightly different direction with the Channels Ethos. Up until now, I have always had an issue with the fact it was X-Box. Not that I thought Microsoft gives 2 fucks, it's just that it sat crooked with me for some reason. 2026, I changed the tag line to "Reel Life Happens Outside."

I like this much more. Thats pretty much the only reason for the tagline change. Self-aggrandizement, haha

Ordered 2 shorts with the new logo tonight, both have it sleeved as well, so I can sneakily advertise while wearing them at work. :P

Talking about work, we got all the Malosi lures out of boxes and up on the walls today, got a tent out and up after cleaning up the tent floor. All in all, a pretty eventful and successful day!

This is todays Short.

2026 Game On

12.13am Jan 1

Well, here we go again, another cycle around the sun. I always think of all the new and exciting things I COULD do every year but fuck it let's make some ideas a reality in 2026. 

So I have the 88kg bet with Natalie at work. That needs to be 88 by the 16th of December this year or she is going to shave my head. If I did the math right thats 600gms a week which is doable if I stop eating junk like a 15-year-old school kid. Well, that starts today! Egg breakfast here I come, oh wait no eggs.. Will take a bit to get this sorted.

More fucking content! I really want to film some "Lunch mission Videos" this will require me to take pre-made lunch! Oh wait, that plays super well into the weight loss as well. 

SYNERGY is a fucking beautiful thing.

Going on some trips this year too. Albany is on the cards, Pemberton trips for sure. Fam trips with the opportunity to film content seem like. A great idea. 

Help Deanne more this year with art stuff. Shea got the march thing we need to get sorted.

BIG 50 and Deannes big 40.

So to keep it easy and trackable lets do a list of 2026 we want to tick off. Not going to get it all done probably but we are going to give it a real go this year!

• Lose the weight
• Shoot the shit
• Do the travel things
• Grow the Channel
• More Kid time
• More Girl Time
• Sleep more
• AFTA
• Make time for parental unit
• Help Deanne with art stuff
• Blog Daily
• Product Shorts!

Ok this is day one done!
