Order of the Arrow Weekend

hello wonderful youtube it's alex and uh this is not gonna be the covet video well that's what the title will tell you but uh that's probably gonna be postponed until i really need something honestly because uh this is actually so much fun i was going to do a weekly recap but saturday i couldn't uh and here's why because i had my oa brotherhood ordeal this last weekend it was really fun uh anyways it it'll start so friday no school i just spent the day relaxing making sure

everything you know and then i went out i left for it around 6 15. i was supposed to get there by 7 30. head out there uh get in check in it was all fun started hanging out uh with my friend aiden and i also hang with this kid named zach now zach is a cool fellow he's 13 currently he's turning 14 at the end of this month and uh he already has a life scout which is right below my rank of eagle if you don't know eagles it's highest rank in the entire thing so i told him hey make sure you get your

eagles got kid we hung out all weekend that's awesome but uh oh the first night we pretty much hung out um well the brotherhood members there's there's three ranks ordeal brotherhood and vigil now brotherhood no vigil we hung out in the dining hall it was awesome we chilled out but the ordeal they had to do their deal ceremony which i'm not supposed to talk about technically um basically they do a bunch of things so they're broken off from rest of the group uh it's nothing bad if it was anything

bad it would be considered illegal by the by the many many organizations and probably shut down so don't worry it's nothing bad um however we you know we hang out saturday saturday morning we wake up have breakfast and we do service work i was painting a latrine actually um only the outside don't worry it was really fun it was really easy work uh then we had lunch and then after that we had a special ordeal ceremony for the brotherhood it's really our deal somebody's just recognizing the work we

did and then we had her after that the ceremony for the ordeal members which actually welcomes him into the order of the arrow that was fun because i got sunburned from that standing in the sun it was but after that we then went over to the uh back to the main part of camp and then we i think me aiden and zach we played him in fuse ball for like two hours awesome then i started hanging out um around that time with two additional kids the names were brianna and eva now you're making wondering alex

this is boy scouts those are very feminine names well i'm glad you asked because that is because boy scouts uh i i'm just i still i'm trying to force myself to use to use a new technical term which is scott's bsa which allows girls and the truth of everything but that's separate troops anyways we hang out with them i actually know them for my school i actually just don't talk to them because they're younger than me i'm a sophomore they're freshmen i don't see them very

often uh but we're hung out with them no sweet so right now the group total is me ava no sorry no brianna doesn't come into latest story sorry so it was me aiden zack and ava we hung out we walked over to the uh dining hall afterward for dinner which is on the other side of camp because our deal members are actually joining us for dinner so there's that uh then we hung out had dinner then after that we went back to the main part of camp and after that it was kind of just um we basically did our own thing

until we went to bed really and around the time of sundown brianna joined our group and that was because she her group that she was hanging out with they want to do something she didn't want to do it so she's not with us we're just fine she's awesome uh and then we kind of just hung out all night just talked chill it was awesome i went to bed early because i had a migraine from the light which honestly i didn't know about it until i went inside the dining hall for cracker barrel

which is basically it's like a late night snack i didn't know it so i go inside it's brands go oh it was awesome uh and sunday morning you know pack up camp and leave nothing really fancy there um but yeah i thought it was really fun honestly um to be completely honest could have done an up late video yeah i just didn't feel like recording at camp um but overall it was fun and it it it there were several moments where when i was hanging out at dark it was like this is exactly what

the executives at nationals were thinking when they allowed girls in the the bsa anyways i feel like this video it's a little longer than normal i'm sorry if you actually make it this far comment um uh oa it's short for word of the arrow anyways thanks for watching see ya

River Sweep 2021

hello wonderful youtube it's alex and uh so yesterday okay sunday but yesterday saturday may 8th i did a river cleanup or really night river cleanup it was more just trash cleanup along the cuyahoga river uh and it was pretty interesting so we roll up we're just outside downtown cleveland i mean you could literally see the keybang tower just a few probably a mile away but you know it's big it's called building central high you can see it for many miles and you know we start cleaning we you

know we got our stuff we're told you know um if you find um a homeless person's tent come ask us we can figure out because you know don't accidentally take away someone's only possessions because that's kind of rude but you know we didn't start off cleaning mostly just random garbage and then we found a tent um and they were we were told oh it's fine um because ironically the person who was with us they knew the person who was there they're doing much better now according

to them and we were told to go ahead and that is where um it was kind of interesting it was very heartbreaking to see what people go through now why am i telling this to youtube well because i'm gonna recount my memories later down the road i don't want people to see me trying to brag that i did something good i'm not bragging i'm just saying i did something i want to remember that i did it uh and then later we found this like fortress that someone had built like after we were done with that tent area

we found this fortress had like two or three couches a couple mattresses electricity electrical hookup cable hookup a recliner um a wooden structure that had a concrete foundation with direct river access um we found a lot down there it looked like i've been there for several years i mean had a concrete foundation that's pretty impressive and i was right on bank of the river so i took the magnet fishing equipment that we brought i probably forgot to mention that earlier this is actually the second take

we forgot i i anyways and i tossed in the river a couple times and the first thing i pulled up was a cell phone you can actually still water trap under the screen i'm gonna actually try to take it apart i gotta order a screwdriver special screwdriver to take this thing apart um but yeah this thing it's pretty much toast which one i'm gonna take it apart i don't know how it got there i mean we tossed it pretty far out there was some kayakers nearby so that could actually could have been sitting there for quite

some time and the second thing i found trying to be a little careful with is this i think it's a gps but yeah it also could be a fish finder i can hit a water in this thing or dirt whatever now to clarify we did not take this from these people's stuff we found it i found it while magnet fishing we were pretty far out um but yeah it was kind of interesting we we spent like i think we spent like 30 minutes on the first sight and in this fortress i really wish i had photos of it but like this fortress we cleaned up we

spent literally two and a half hours there and it still was not good when we were done it was a lot we actually found some animal bones originally when i found i actually i actually found the bones well some of them and when i first found him i honestly thought i found a body until i realized that i found like an intact limb with two like toes so it was impossible to be a human unless that human had some crazy messed up genetics it was probably it was probably a deer um but yeah after we were done with that

and we went home and i kind of just thought over how it's kind of a bit of a gap i mean i'm able to film this and be in a comfortable place and that has got to be pretty depressing to be that low to live actually naruto i forgot to mention the road was abandoned it was actually a long abandoned road um but it was just how depressing has to be that he had to live in a town along an abandoned road just outside one of the shining cities of the midwest anyways if you actually made it this far

i'm not even gonna say you know if you comment anything just say that you made it to the end honestly yeah uh thanks for watching please do like comment and subscribe actually no don't do that um but yeah see you around peace out

before river suite and i uh basically put stuff on a shelf for um up for six hours it was a four to ten o'clock shift it was not too bad actually i wouldn't mind doing it again um i uh went to wendy's afterward flew down the road at 35 miles an hour but there was no honest i feel like it was going way faster it was an overall fun first day um then a week pretty much went by so so thursday that was like three days ago now i worked you know like basically all my shift's been for

10 o'clock and i was on carts and those aren't fun okay they are but they're not it's like a hybrid because carts also means that we have to do the janitorial stuff and i don't like doing that i like pushing the cards oh sure i do not like uh doing the um you know the cleaning and i was actually pushing like nine cart like trains of just like shopping carts back into the building and i was my man was like yo that's actually kind of impressive and um but yeah day three i saw like really

cool truck wall on carts again it was like a teal truck i had like a huge engine in it um i was outside and i was like yeah and i was like that's a nice truck and because the guy was like leaving like oh i want to hear it fire up and go oh yeah totally and i was the only one who was there watching it my manager uh my guy was training me and the two other guys who were in the cars we were all out there we just watched a guy like fired it up he did a lap around the parking lot for us it was so cool

it's a cool truck and then of course you know after my shift's done i went home um and then yesterday which saturday i uh did mostly uh stocking actually it was pretty good i did a little bit of cards for that cover for some the guy who does cards for lunch but it wasn't too bad um but yeah uh i thought my it's very enjoyable i'm i'm liking it a lot uh the only thing i would change is what time i work i really don't like going from school having like an hour break and going right back to work but

you gotta do what you gotta do anyways um i think i'm still waiting to try to find the screwdriver i need so i can take apart that cell phone and gps i found for you guys um however yeah i'm gonna be doing some cool stuff soon anyways i hope you guys enjoy my uh this video peace out

NYLT Devo 3

hello wonderful world of youtube it's alex and uh i haven't uploaded since thursday um which isn't long but my channel was terminated for like a day not even a day like 16 hours i'll do a different video on that but um i'm going to talk about my nylt diva 3 weekend so started friday but i couldn't go friday i had work so that was fun i actually drove out saturday morning and saturday morning i drove out myself all the way to camp firelands which is about a 45 minute drive from where i live

and it wasn't bad actually the roads were pretty empty i mean i was right taking 480 and state route 10 most of the way so it was relatively empty uh didn't like since this one i just popped the cruise control and i was just making sure i wasn't gonna hit anything uh got there did the flag grazing and then i had to go help good stuff because i'm a quarter master of equipment so i started chilling at a shipping container we did our work you know taking a container apart getting our stuff

putting it back together then after that we had lunch we spent like all morning there then after that we were told to go build a fire at a firing now the affiliate starts getting a little fast so but the firing was for context it was hot and i had a choice because the container helped sort stuff or go to the firing which was in the shade i thought it'd be cooler in the firing but i think it was equally the same because it was really hot i was like it felt like 95 degrees outside um i didn't actually we didn't like the

fire that was for later we were just making the wood structure for it but after that i had to go back over chilled out the container we played frisbee it was awesome because there's a field next to it went on top of it because i had to go retreat the frisbee um it wasn't bad so after that we uh uh we're done we went back and had dinner played some games did our evening campfire and went to bed which then leads into this morning where we drove back we we cleaned up camp we did some stuff

practiced um top secret stuff then we drove back home and uh yeah it was we mean just me again it wasn't that bad because it was a little more busy this time i mean overall the weekend was really fun uh gotta say would do it again my promise i wish i had a little more time so i could tell my work i had to take off but didn't really affect me i didn't miss anything friday night nothing important anyways thanks y'all for watching see ya

Why my channel was deleted (for 16 hours)

hello wonderful youtube it's alex and in my last video i said i'm going to talk about why i was having a light outage and that was because i uh my youtube channel was terminated so um anyways it's thursday last thursday that is the i want to say that is the 18th i was minding my own business uh you know doing my thing in band i get a text message from my mom now my mom has it so she can see my email notifications but she can't read them and she goes uh hey alex um why was youtube channel terminated i go

what so i just i excuse myself from band um i go to the bathroom i go check and yeah i was terminated youtube gave me the reason of i was terminated for um spam scam or deceptive videos and i'm like okay i don't know where i've done any scamming i think the re-upload i did of charlie bit my finger could be considered deceptive which by the way they deleted the original because it made it an nft i'm like going do i don't like that later um and then um spam i guess my videos could be considered

spam i really don't see how they could but i mean at the same time i could see that you know they're kind of meaningless videos but whatever so i immediately filed an appeal saying hey i believe i've been wrongly terminated i have not received any warnings in the past i the only content that is maybe even remotely considered to be spam could be the real blood i did charlie bit my finger uh and i otherwise do not think i can think of any reason why i would be considered a scam channel so i put that i was put that

some of my videos on there the only copies i have with them because they they were wrongly deleted um and um and you know you get that so i file appeal and i wait i go on twitter and i ask hey um my channel was kind of wrongly terminated can you guys look into it and they said oh did you already finally feel like yeah i'm like all right well gotta wait it's like okay fine i spent all thursday just panicking i had a nice playlist i have a nice playlist you guys can't see it's unlisted but

it's a nice music playlist it goes back it has like a lot of songs some of them which i can't find anywhere else on the internet uh and everything like that so then i start you know panicking rightfully so and i go to bed i go to bed and kind of brush off still kind of shaken but whatever wake up friday morning uh i'm minding my own business i check my email and i get a nice refreshing email that goes your channel has been reinstated so a little over 12 hours of being deleted i think it's like 16 hours

being terminated my channel's back so it's like sweet uh i'm pretty pleased about that and then i had to go to scout camp so i couldn't even make any videos but it was just oh it was a very terrifying experience they i think if i remember correctly the email said that the determination is not kind of against me because it was a false termination it's just that was a little more than i would have liked to have happen now the summarize i i don't want this to happen again so

i'm going to be a little more careful about my uploading for about a week or two um it's just yeah it was on top of some other things that were happening in my personal life i don't want to get into that was like a wow that was intense anyways if you guys enjoyed this video please do like comment subscribe i'm sorry if you hear my brother guys he's aggressive quiet down nathan if you guys like this video please do like comment and subscribe it's made this far comment down and below youtube anyways catch you all later see ya

Mr Beast Burger

hello wonderful youtube it's alex and uh so this video's gonna be going up tomorrow um but i'm filming it today so maybe wednesday and tomorrow's thursday so anyway so today i had mr beast burger uh it was actually really good and i'm gonna get into it so about a week ago i was talking my dad's like hey i want to do mr peaceburger he's like you know what sure let's do that uh however last week i worked wednesday friday and they aren't open monday and tuesdays so

i couldn't get it last week so we kept thinking about it and then you know kind of forgot but until today i get home like hey it's wednesday we shoot mr beastburger my dad's like that's a good idea so we looked and there's actually one just down the road from us if you don't know how it works basically restaurants pre-existing restaurants signed contracts or franchising i don't know and they sell their burgers in their stores like a door dash kind of thing it's pretty smart uh and you know mr beast

it's kind of the products product uh profit sorry and anything yeah and then uh you know uh i ordered it it's gonna take about 45 minutes come in it actually came in 30. it's actually pretty sweet i ordered the chris the crisp burger i think it's called it had like two patties some fries bacon some condiments it's really good and i also ordered fries and soda papa there's nothing special just a bottle pepsi uh my dad ordered i think he ordered the dream burger or the beast special i

don't remember i thought it was amazing i honestly thought it was way better than i expected i heard some questionable reviews online but overall um it's actually not that bad i think the only downside is it's only delivery only can't just go pick it up but uh yeah i mean i would do it again i gave it a 8.5 out of 10. the burger was phenomenal well cooked the buns were great everything was pretty much perfect except for the little bit of lack of flavor in the fries even though they said we're seasoned but

that's not a main concern for me um yeah i will probably put pictures somewhere i don't know where yet about from from the burger but anyways i hope you all enjoyed this video if you've made this far comment mr beast down below anyways hope thanks for all for watching and see ya
