Great to see you, Scott. I'm very happy for you that you were feeling well enough to make this video for us. Wishing you continued healing. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 As for the PGYTECH .... for me, I only have one camera and never even come close to filling my CFE B card on an outing, so no, I wouldn't use one. Having said this though, I can see where a photogrpaher would love this. The company really thought of everything for not only the tech aspect but the convenience as well. It's an all around tool. Great idea and implementation!
You know it's gonna be a good day when a Wild Alaska video pops up !! That PGYTECH reader/carrier is something I didn't know existed. I will definitely have one in my bag....simply genius !!! That print is stunning and would look good hanging on any wall.
Welcome back, Scott! So glad to see you well enough to put out a new video! The PGY Tech card reader/case is new to me. I love its multi function capability as well as the rugged construction and think it will be a very useful addtion to my kit. As a subscriber I think its safe to say we all look forward to your videos but most importantly we want you to look after your health first. Please take good care. In the meantime we'll keep running that shutter!
Nice to se you up and out......Looks like a great addition to anyone who shoots on a daily basis. for fun or for a profession. I will pass this on to all of my wire service folks that I work with. Thanks. Bests Gary
Nice to see you back doing what you love doing, as far as the PGYTECH reader / carrier is concerned it seems like it is a must for every photographer out there. Will definitely be in my bag. Wishing you great success in your ongoing recovery.
Great to see you out and about again Scott. The PGYTECH CFexpress CreateMate Card Reader seems pretty good- always good to be able to consolidate down what you have to carry - and with fast transfer speeds. Would be nice if it had an SSD disk in it so you could back the cards up to it - save you having to take a computer on remote travel trips.
It is great to see you here and taking pictures again Scott. I only have the R6 and normally download to my desktop at home or to my laptop that has the reader built in so this device doesn't make too much sense for me but I can see being really handy for others.
Glad to see you back and recovering. That PGYTECH card reader is pretty cool. May have to pick one up myself. I love that print of the wolves. It would look great on my wall.
Glad to see you’re recovering! Took the plunge on the R7 after seeing all your videos using it. Had the Sigma 150-600 already and the autofocus system elevated my photography instantly. Previous camera was the 80d! Happy shooting 🙂
Regarding the PGYTECH, I always appreciate new pieces of gear that innovate and make things easier. I haven't needed it myself yet, but I can see a future where I buy one! It's on my "gear list"!
Woohoo! Welcome back Scott! I just got back from a weekend away and what is the first thing I see upon my return…so great to see you in your recovery. Slow and steady wins the race. Looks like you got a new ride too. 👍 As for the CreateMate it’s a brilliant idea and makes things easier having everything in one place. Continued healing and sending you lots of positive vibes ❤🩹
Great to see you back Scott and and feeling so positive as you said its a long road but a journey you can make my friend keep strong and yes this pgytech will certainly help reduce what we have to carry I'm always looking at how to lighten what I take out with me at 70 every little helps
Healthy recovery Scott! Thanks for this video! This product seems like a cool addition to my loadout because I shoot drone, gopro and canon and instead of having cards scattered in a film container, secret pocket and/ or hoping theres enough space on whatever is in each camera, I can properly label and offload after every shoot and have all of my cards in one spot and have confidence before every shoot, cheers!!
First, glad to have you back making videos. Second, I shoot with the R6mkII and GoPro and DJI Mini 2, so the SD/Micro SD version is nice, and it reads UHS-II SD cards. But it is only the USB 3.1. And this is the reason I'll wait for the next generation. Again, glad you still on the sunny side of the grass.
It is so good to see you back!. I hope your recovery goes smoothly so you can get out and do what you love doing. I have considered the PGYTECH and probably will buy it. I have a bad habit of not carrying spare cards with me. I should really change that. I really like the PGYTECH camera straps I have. I use the red beads for my lenses that have anchors for straps and black beads for my cameras. When I use a lens with the red beads I move my strap to the lens.
Glad to see you back and hope your recovery is going well that card reader seems amazing and I will definitely look into the purchase of one trying to remember what readers and cables to take with you can become overbearing sometimes when you have to take multiple pieces of equipment glad you were able to get back out in the field
Hey Scott, it's awesome to see you back! I actually won my type B CreateMate on another YT channel. It's great though I don't know if it is the faster version. The print is beautiful !!! Greg
Anything that cuts the clutter in my bag has to be a good thing. I try to limit my gear for travelling, but batteries, cards, readers are a mix of pack but don't carry everywhere. Great to see you are on the mend and I'm sure I speak for everyone here in hoping all continues well for you in your recovery. That Wolf shot is gorgeous btw. Looking forward to my trip to Alaska in May. I've assembled all the gear I want to take.....Now to fit it into the bag!! 😬😁
Happy to see you were able to get back out and shoot. Wishing you continued progress on your recovery! That looks like a great device and I'll be looking into it. I too am always looking for ways to streamline on how much gear I carry out into the field and on trips.
So happy to see you out and about Scott, Happy Easter. As to the gear, well I'll be grabbing one of these. Another great idea, like the substitute eye piece for the R7 (still working well) The card reader will come in real handy when I head up north your way for the Grizzlies this year. Last year I used the cable to connect my camera to the laptop to download each day and it was sooo slow (almost missed dinner!) so this will solve that problem! Love the wolf print. Take your recovery slow and steady Scott and we'll watch for your upcoming vids
So great to see you doing your thing again, Scott! Made maid my day. 😀 The PGYTECH reader/carrier sounds like a great piece of gear, however I have my stuff slimmed down to just one camera (R5) and one zoom lens (RF 100-550) so I wouldn't need something as elaborate as that. Take it easy friend.
So glad you’re doing better I know what it is like after heart problems now on your video that reader looks great being portable and weather resistant and it keep me from losing my Sd cards and cable that I seem to do Thanks for the video
So glad to see you feeling well enough to gently get back into it. PGY Createmate looks like a great option for consolidating card readers and card storage. Will definitely check it out too replace my ziploc strange option 😅
That looks a very useful but of kit. Should have a Z8 soon and I think that would be an ideal addition. Having once lost a card case out in the wild(I finally found it) really appreciate how handy and flexible it could be. It’s on my wish list now. Hope the recovery continues. Alan from Wales Uk.
Scott thanks for this review. Many things to like about the PGYTECH. Love the weather proofing and the protection the sleeve provides, great for the field. Thanks for pointing out the 3.2 version. Nice there are 2 colour options.
So glad to hear you are getting out again. I’ve been looking for a better card reader/storage option for when I travel so I need to look into getting one of those. Going to be in Alaska in a couple weeks for the first time. Can’t wait! Keep up the great work and your recovery.
@@WILDALASKA Unfortunately we are only getting as far north as Juneau this time. We are doing wildlife excursions in Sitka and Ketchikan. Hoping to do a trip into the interior (Denali) in a future year.
My wife and I really appreciate all of your videos. We are just getting back into photography and your review of the PGY TECH CFexpress will be great for us since we will be using multiple cameras. Glad to see you are doing better looking forward to future videos.
Welcome back. Never new about PGYTECH device. Looks promising. I am on a 4th cards "storage" and, based on your great review of it, I will be looking into buying it. Ithink this is exactly what I need as a field device, in addition to my other storage.
I am so glad to see you're feeling well enough to make a new video! I will most definitely be getting one of these. So very handy that it's an all-in-one type of device.
I now travel full time in my Airstream so space and organization are always a concern when making a new purchase and this little card reader checks all the boxes. Another great review and pleased to see you getting back outdoors where you belong.
I just discovered your channel and immediately subscribed. I like the idea of the PGYTECH device and plan to order one shortly. It will give me extra room in my camera back and make life a lot easier. I have a Nikon Z6 and Zf, so I use all three sizes of cards. Thanks for the tip.
Hi Scott, Sending positive vibes and wishes your way as you continue your recovery! I saw your review of this unit and bought mine right away. Amazon will even send it to me same day, so I’ll be receiving it in a few hours it looks like. My use case? Simple. Being able to organize and store my multiple SD and Micro SD cards, plus having the ability of on-board card reading and data transfer is a big plus. I fly drones, I take pictures with my camera, and have a small PC (Lenovo Legion Go) as well as an iPad, and I use these devices daily. The card reader and storage device will support my workflows well. One caveat…I took note of the different models and their speed transfer rates. While I would have enjoyed 10gps with the 3.2 version, I don’t use the types of cards that support those speeds. I only use SD and Micro SD cards. The speed transfer of those cards apparently is limited to 3.1 speeds (or 300 mbps). This is fine, but for everyone reading this comment, please take care and order the correct version of this Pgytech product, depending on the types of cards that you work with. Cheers!
Great to see you back outside creating new content, Scott! We continue to pray for your full recovery. The PGYTech card reader and storage case will definitely find a place in my bag.
Coming home and seeing that you had posted a video was just what I need after a long day at work. I like the idea of that card reader/holder. I just got the R6 mark ii this week and am heading to Oregon to "run that shutter" I may pick it up while I'm down there (no sales tax there) either way I'm liking it.
Excited to see you back making videos again, I enjoy your perspective on the outdoors. Wishing you a full recovery. The PGYTECH Card Reader and Case looks like a winner for wildlife photography adventures.
I wish that device had a version that came with internal storage to free up card place. My problem is what do you do on long trips, like 10+ days, etc. Happy that you are one the road to recovery.
When I'm on long trips 2-3 weeks, it's just have ssd's and transfer them of the card through a laptop to the SSD. If space and weight is an issue I will use my phone and then to the SSD. And if it's a power thing where we don't have ways to charge devices, then I just have to have enough Type B and SD cards to make it. that scenario is a pain 🤪
Hi Scott, it's so great to see your enthusiasm back !! Now you can get out again, I'm sure seeing the birds and other wildlife in action will help you recover even better 💪 I fully get why this PGYTECH tool is a great help to you and other pro photographers ! As for myself, I just have a 512Gb CFxB in my R5, and an SD in case of overflow, but so far only once I reached nearly 15k images with barely remaining space. So I don't have the use case for which you found yourself a fitting solution! Obviously those wolves with the magic eyes would be more than welcome in my home office ;-)
Love your work, hope you get back to full strength very soon. I think I will invest in this, looks very good and will save me carrying multiple readers. Download speeds are important.
glad your back on the mend... I've seen these type card carry/readers but I didn't really trust it, thank you for the review and building the confidence to take the change on one... while viewing the video again to make sure I didn't miss anything I've ordered one and cant wait to replace my different card readers and card cases and merge them into one unit, so thank you again
I got excited seeing this because shooting the R5 as well as having to use annoying DJI drones on occasion, I can have access to all three card sizes of cards as well as the fast reader. Perfect match for my workflow. Love your channel. Keep healing.
It's just great to see you well enough to make a video! There are a lot of people offering you support and prayers! We are getting 18 inches of snow in New Hampshire right now so Alaska doesn't have a monopoly on not letting go of winter. I could see using the PGYTECH CreateMate if I get even more into video as that fills the cards so fast. Something to consider for sure moving forward.
Happy to see you on the mend. It is great that you are able to get back out in the field and do what you love to do. Always look forward to watching your videos. The PGYTECH card reader looks interesting and an excellent option as opposed to carrying multiple card readers. Seems like a good solution to that problem.
Glad you’re back! I can see this is very useful card reader for someone like you that has cameras with multiple card types. My R7 just uses SD and my DSLR’s use the older CF type, which this reader doesn’t support. I’m thinking the SD/Micro-SD only version might be useful to copy files from my iPhone to an SD card, but since I can copy them straight to a SSD drive, I don’t really see a need for that. Definitely a cool device that solves a problem for a lot of photographers though.
@@WILDALASKA So far I just use the built-in reader in my MacBook Pro. I’m still thinking about getting one though to have a card reader in an emergency or to transfer stuff to or from someone else’s laptop.
Good to see you Scott, you are looking well. Great review and a great bit of kit for those that need it. A wonderful photo of the wolves too. Wishing you a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing you on your next vlog.
Scott, glad to see you still on this side of the grass. As a heart attack survivor myself, life is great when you get a second chance at it!❤️ Love your channel and the work you do!!! For this new device, it looks great! But what do you do for a backup plan should this one fail? I would think your aforementioned card readers and cases are close by.
Glad to see you up and at it! Happy Easter! I don't need one of those yet because I usually just shoot in the backyard and not enough to fill up an sd card. Then I just change cards and go inside to dump it. Looks like a good product but, I'm not a pro, so I don't spend as much time out in the field... 👍
I just discovered WILD ALASKA today! Wow! Sorry to hear about the health issues but it looks like you are bouncing back strong. Hope the recovery continues well. Thanks for a very informative review of an amazing item. I have several readers and cases. This PGYTECH CFexpress CreateMate would definitely help save a lot of space and headaches when I forget something. In my "not-so-young" years, I definitely need everything to be lighter and the fewer items I need to remember is better.
Glad your back to making videos again. If you looking for a video suggestion I would love to get some tips in using gear in colder weather for those of us that live where its semi warm to warm but will be making a trip to wear its much colder (for a few days to a week). Although that reader/case seems great I would really only use one if t was all CF Express slots as I generally carry 3 spare CF Express cards (well 2 and an XQD card to be honest) in addition to whats in my camera and don't use SD cards in anything anymore. Welcome back buddy!
Hi Scott, Thank you for highlighting this great product. I’m always leaving one or the other behind. Just bought one-it will be nice to store my SD cards and reader in one place. AND just subscribed! I haven’t been privy to your health issues, but I’m glad to hear that you are on the mend. I’m now going to look through your videos and check out some AK photography and video. Kind regards, Fred
I'm watching this on Easter Sunday and thought it was cool that you have a Jesus vibe going on with your look. Winter doesn't want to let up here in Maine either, we had our biggest snowstorm of the year after the first day of spring and we're due for another potential huge one this week.
Nice your on the road to recovery! The PGYTeck is a neat idea to consolidate things! I ought to get some bigger SD cards for the R7 and use the current 64GB as overflow when I forget to offload things off.
So glad to see you were able to get for a little bit with your camera and that you're on the mend! Wishing you all the best. Cheers from Maine. :) Paula
It looks like a good item ,save on space in camera bag,I know because after loosing both legs below the knees,and now 3.5 years later back walking and taking pictures again don’t give up,it feels good to be out there.
Great to see you back. It's a great chanel. I use r8 (sd) and r5 (sd/cfx) and thus carry two readers (and usb big to usb c and 1tb ssd) to when I am on the road. This device could decrease stuff. I looked - you did not mention most critical to me who backpacks - 198g. Considering. great review and highlighting a good product
Hey Scott! What a nice surprise to see you back where you belong, on the other side of the camera again! I hope you’re feeling a lot better now and day by day getting back to some normality, stay well my friend 👍🦅📷 Terry
Great to see you, Scott. I'm very happy for you that you were feeling well enough to make this video for us. Wishing you continued healing. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
As for the PGYTECH .... for me, I only have one camera and never even come close to filling my CFE B card on an outing, so no, I wouldn't use one. Having said this though, I can see where a photogrpaher would love this. The company really thought of everything for not only the tech aspect but the convenience as well. It's an all around tool. Great idea and implementation!
You know it's gonna be a good day when a Wild Alaska video pops up !! That PGYTECH reader/carrier is something I didn't know existed. I will definitely have one in my bag....simply genius !!!
That print is stunning and would look good hanging on any wall.

Thanks
Scot its Great to see you back on your feet. Personally i only have 2 sd cards and havent ventured far enough to need such gear.
thx
Good to see you back. Having accidentally put usb sticks and SD cards through the wash I think they must be pretty waterproof already.
Oh the water resistant is for the reader itself, to keep the circuit board from frying.
So glad you are feeling better! Take care.
Thank you!
So happy to see you out and about Scott, Happy Easter. As to the gear, well I'll be grabbing one of these.

will do
Thanks, will do!
Absolutely, I own one and it is great. Can't leave home without it. All the best wishes to your health and a speedy recovery!

Nice to see you back! It’s snowing here too haha…I’ll have to look into these. Thank you for sharing
thx
So glad to see you feeling well enough to gently get back into it. PGY Createmate looks like a great option for consolidating card readers and card storage. Will definitely check it out too replace my ziploc strange option 😅
👍
This product would be very good for using to get those quick sneak peaks out after an event!! Definitely gonna have to check into it!
👍
Glad your recovery is going well.The pgyteck as you say simplifies
thanks
Thanks for letting me know this Createmate existed. I’ve just ordered one
Glad I could help!
Scott, great to see you again! Looking forward to new videos, especially your take on the A9iii.
Thanks! Will do!

Amazon will even send it to me same day, so I’ll be receiving it in a few hours it looks like. My use case? Simple. Being able to organize and store my multiple SD and Micro SD cards, plus having the ability of on-board card reading and data transfer is a big plus.

good info and hope you like the reader. looks like the 3.1 is $40 US an the 3.2 is $99US.
Nice review of an interesting gadget It's helpful when knowledgeable folks like yourself pass on your insights on all things photography. Stay well.
thx
Great to see you back outside creating new content, Scott! We continue to pray for your full recovery. The PGYTech card reader and storage case will definitely find a place in my bag.
thanks
Nice to see you back. For me I use a small USB-C/USB-A stick for my R6M2-cards. Greating Leo Lengton
Cool, thanks
Coming home and seeing that you had posted a video was just what I need after a long day at work. I like the idea of that card reader/holder. I just got the R6 mark ii this week and am heading to Oregon to "run that shutter" I may pick it up while I'm down there (no sales tax there) either way I'm liking it.
Enjoy!
Thank you for this post.
I do lots of outdoor and wildlife photography here in Florida. We have wet weather. Lol
We got about 6" of snow last night here. weeeeeeee ❄️☃️
Good to have you back! I use CFE-B, SD, and micro-SD cards. So this device is up my alley. Thanks!
Thanks John. Its a great bit of kit for sure
Excited to see you back making videos again, I enjoy your perspective on the outdoors. Wishing you a full recovery. The PGYTECH Card Reader and Case looks like a winner for wildlife photography adventures.
Thanks so much!
Very happy to see you are back!!
thanks !
I wish that device had a version that came with internal storage to free up card place. My problem is what do you do on long trips, like 10+ days, etc.
Happy that you are one the road to recovery.
When I'm on long trips 2-3 weeks, it's just have ssd's and transfer them of the card through a laptop to the SSD. If space and weight is an issue I will use my phone and then to the SSD. And if it's a power thing where we don't have ways to charge devices, then I just have to have enough Type B and SD cards to make it. that scenario is a pain 🤪
Hi Scott, it's so great to see your enthusiasm back !! Now you can get out again, I'm sure seeing the birds and other wildlife in action will help you recover even better 💪
I fully get why this PGYTECH tool is a great help to you and other pro photographers !
As for myself, I just have a 512Gb CFxB in my R5, and an SD in case of overflow, but so far only once I reached nearly 15k images with barely remaining space. So I don't have the use case for which you found yourself a fitting solution!
Obviously those wolves with the magic eyes would be more than welcome in my home office ;-)
thanks
Love your work, hope you get back to full strength very soon. I think I will invest in this, looks very good and will save me carrying multiple readers. Download speeds are important.
Much appreciated! Thanks
glad your back on the mend... I've seen these type card carry/readers but I didn't really trust it, thank you for the review and building the confidence to take the change on one... while viewing the video again to make sure I didn't miss anything I've ordered one and cant wait to replace my different card readers and card cases and merge them into one unit, so thank you again
It's pretty solid feeling reader..very sturdy. Its held up to my clumsiness so far lol
I got excited seeing this because shooting the R5 as well as having to use annoying DJI drones on occasion, I can have access to all three card sizes of cards as well as the fast reader. Perfect match for my workflow. Love your channel. Keep healing.
Thanks
It's just great to see you well enough to make a video! There are a lot of people offering you support and prayers! We are getting 18 inches of snow in New Hampshire right now so Alaska doesn't have a monopoly on not letting go of winter. I could see using the PGYTECH CreateMate if I get even more into video as that fills the cards so fast. Something to consider for sure moving forward.
Thanks. We are like 3" or so from setting an all time snow record here in AK.
@@WILDALASKA Wow, it was largely a snow drought in the lower 48, especially east of the Rockies. Keep getting better!
Happy to see you on the mend. It is great that you are able to get back out in the field and do what you love to do. Always look forward to watching your videos. The PGYTECH card reader looks interesting and an excellent option as opposed to carrying multiple card readers. Seems like a good solution to that problem.
Thanks and it is very well made bit of kit for sure
Glad you’re back! I can see this is very useful card reader for someone like you that has cameras with multiple card types. My R7 just uses SD and my DSLR’s use the older CF type, which this reader doesn’t support. I’m thinking the SD/Micro-SD only version might be useful to copy files from my iPhone to an SD card, but since I can copy them straight to a SSD drive, I don’t really see a need for that. Definitely a cool device that solves a problem for a lot of photographers though.
Thanks and very true if you only have sd cards. BUT you could still have a card holder plus reader in one. just depends on your work flow
@@WILDALASKA So far I just use the built-in reader in my MacBook Pro. I’m still thinking about getting one though to have a card reader in an emergency or to transfer stuff to or from someone else’s laptop.
Good to see you Scott, you are looking well. Great review and a great bit of kit for those that need it.
A wonderful photo of the wolves too. Wishing you a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing you on your next vlog.
Thank you kindly
Scott, glad to see you still on this side of the grass. As a heart attack survivor myself, life is great when you get a second chance at it!❤️ Love your channel and the work you do!!!
For this new device, it looks great! But what do you do for a backup plan should this one fail? I would think your aforementioned card readers and cases are close by.
always good to have backups
Great to see you back at it Scott! Looking forward to seeing more videos. I really enjoy them. Take care and hope you have a quick recovery. 👍🏼
thanks
Glad to see you up and at it! Happy Easter! I don't need one of those yet because I usually just shoot in the backyard and not enough to fill up an sd card. Then I just change cards and go inside to dump it. Looks like a good product but, I'm not a pro, so I don't spend as much time out in the field... 👍
thanks and happy easter
I just discovered WILD ALASKA today! Wow! Sorry to hear about the health issues but it looks like you are bouncing back strong. Hope the recovery continues well. Thanks for a very informative review of an amazing item. I have several readers and cases. This PGYTECH CFexpress CreateMate would definitely help save a lot of space and headaches when I forget something. In my "not-so-young" years, I definitely need everything to be lighter and the fewer items I need to remember is better.
Couldn't agree more with the less items and lighter and thanks for the kind words. Welcome ABOARD!
Thanks and Welcome Aboard
Glad your back to making videos again. If you looking for a video suggestion I would love to get some tips in using gear in colder weather for those of us that live where its semi warm to warm but will be making a trip to wear its much colder (for a few days to a week). Although that reader/case seems great I would really only use one if t was all CF Express slots as I generally carry 3 spare CF Express cards (well 2 and an XQD card to be honest) in addition to whats in my camera and don't use SD cards in anything anymore. Welcome back buddy!
I actually made 2 videos with just that topics in December. Cold weather photography
I enjoyed the video. Glad you are getting back into it.
thanks
Hi Scott, Thank you for highlighting this great product. I’m always leaving one or the other behind. Just bought one-it will be nice to store my SD cards and reader in one place. AND just subscribed! I haven’t been privy to your health issues, but I’m glad to hear that you are on the mend. I’m now going to look through your videos and check out some AK photography and video. Kind regards, Fred
Welcome Aboard !
I just bought the PGYTECH from your link. I've been looking for a good card reader. Thanks!
Awesome! Thank you!
Great to see you posting and photographing again!!
thanks
I'm watching this on Easter Sunday and thought it was cool that you have a Jesus vibe going on with your look. Winter doesn't want to let up here in Maine either, we had our biggest snowstorm of the year after the first day of spring and we're due for another potential huge one this week.
Luckily I love the snow, but it is being stubborn.
Glad to see you back, prayers for a continued recovery!
Thank you so much!
Nice your on the road to recovery!
The PGYTeck is a neat idea to consolidate things! I ought to get some bigger SD cards for the R7 and use the current 64GB as overflow when I forget to offload things off.
Oh yes, get a 512 for sure. makes life so much better
So glad to see you were able to get for a little bit with your camera and that you're on the mend! Wishing you all the best. Cheers from Maine. :) Paula
Thank you so much!
It looks like a good item ,save on space in camera bag,I know because after loosing both legs below the knees,and now 3.5 years later back walking and taking pictures again don’t give up,it feels good to be out there.
👍
Great to see you back. It's a great chanel. I use r8 (sd) and r5 (sd/cfx) and thus carry two readers (and usb big to usb c and 1tb ssd) to when I am on the road. This device could decrease stuff. I looked - you did not mention most critical to me who backpacks - 198g. Considering.
great review and highlighting a good product
👍
Hey Scott! What a nice surprise to see you back where you belong, on the other side of the camera again! I hope you’re feeling a lot better now and day by day getting back to some normality, stay well my friend 👍🦅📷 Terry
Thanks! Will do!
God bless you! I didn't know about your health challenge. I really appreciate your channel and information. Continued good health brother!
Thanks
Glad to see you back!
