My YouTube journey started under the name SpaceNarwhol back in May of 2020 after my previous channel of 100 subs got lost to time. When I was SpaceNarwhol I created space-related content like top 5 rocket launches, music playlists with cosmic visuals, and even played some of the many space games like Spaceflight Simulator, Kerbal Space Program and more. Then I covered news regarding rocket launches and all things Starship. Around 2021, I shifted into general gaming, exploring different titles and building my channel in a new direction, however never got too far only getting a few good views from time to time. Thing were slow however everything changed on July 23rd, 2025, when I uploaded a video about Mountain Monsters. That one upload completely reshaped the future of my channel and set me on a path I never expected with an amazing group of people who watch my videos!

As of 10/1/2025 I am at 1,419 subscribers, and I feel like my journey has just begun. I have 10+ previous years of Youtube experience under my belt as I have always wanted to pursue Youtube content creation as a small child, and now I have finally started to reach that goal! I am constantly coming up with ideas for videos, and always improving my editing/host skills and cannot wait to see where I am by 2026!

My Favorite Videos!

Sons of Appalachia: The Next Mountain Monsters?

Released July 23rd, 2025! This video had started EVERYTHING, this was many years of learning how to edit thrown all into one video and is really one of my best projects I've ever uploaded! The thumbnail was AMAZING and am super happy with how it turned out! I always fear my videos will never be as good as this one, it's just that good!

"My Top 4 Memorable Space Launchs"

Ah my very first video! Released June 23rd 2020, honestly would've been insane if it was just a month sooner! My first video being released on the same day of my best video would've been so symbolic! I didn't do much editing, just put pictures with text in the middle of the videos, however I was 16, and just started learning how to edit, so I can't hate this video!

Hatching Triops!
Episode 1

This video is sadly unwatchable anymore as I have privated it upon my channel doing good in the Cryptid space, and this mainly was because there was a pretty major editing error as I was uploading a gaming video DAILY during this time! Also doing daily videos causes easy overlooks in mistakes, it was really good showed the journey of hatching these ancient creatures! And did really good at the time of my channel! (Around 50 subs, 200 views) This one made me realize I might be able to make it on youtube, so I will never forget it!
