Should you post if

So want some if y'all's opinions on this. Basically if no one is posting or trying to put info out that's kinda dying ( net making bullet casting , stuff like that) should somone who's not a expert on the matter try and put out info ? Like I there's videos I wanna make but since I don't know every aspect of the process in extreme detail or a kinda reverse engineered it I've been racking my brain pretty hard if I should try and put this info out.
I hear alot of people say "hay you should let the experts make these videos or talk about these things" but the problem is either alot if these guys are old and don't know how to really share this info in various ways or just plain don't wanna .
So with this being said should somone who isn't an expert try to share

I think you should. There is a big difference between not being an expert and someone who has no idea and still posts videos. Not being quite the expert will also be less intimidating for others to try ... for example net making.
As an example. When I was still working in the fishing industry, I was pretty good at fixing nets and it would have been hard to slow down in order to show someone how to do it. Same with the purse nets I made. I could knock one of those out in under 45 minutes while watching TV. That tends to be intimidating for someone who is new to it. I would think that it would encourage more folks to give it a go if they see it demonstrated by someone who is not as proficient at it and a little slower so they can pick up how its done.

So yes, go for it and inspire others.

The difference between an expert and a novice is that the expert has failed more times that the novice has even tried

Be humble about your knowledge and lack of it in video and be sure to share your intentions for making the video. I will say I struggle with trapping videos were the person tries to look like they know what they are doing when it's obvious they are a beginner. Now the ones that are beginners and approach there video from a beginners point of view are enjoy able to watch.

If I only talked about things I was an expert on, I wouldn't have much to say. I think when a teacher knows too much to still learn he will have distanced himself from anyone to teach.

Absolutely !! I have learned a bunch from your videos . I had no idea whatsoever about powder coating cast bullets. Keep it up

Also, be clear about not quite understanding something if you don't. " This is what I do but if yall got better ideas or suggestions, please post away in comment section"...or similar is better than skirting the issue IMO. I've learned a lot from comment discussions. My videos would be me just rattle down my list of questions and ask someone to hold my hand and tell me how to do it in comments if it was on reloading. Comments are also good when the person don't know but acts like they do. Lol.

If you mean you the answer is yes because you may not know it all but you put a slant on it that is always informative and interesting.

Any video you have made so far has been helpful in one way or the other. You are a people person which helps you. Go For it and Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

No such think as experts. Just people who have more experience in something than you do. Learn something new everyday.

Expert and experienced are sorta the same.
Take Zagger’s Pipe Dream Set. There are umpteen videos about it and how to do it on YouTube and very few that even come close to what the man perfected. I’d rather someone just come out and say, this is how I do it. This isn’t the only way and may not be the way the “manual” says to do it, but this method works for me. Unless you’ve perfected something or invented something, then don’t come across as it’s the right or only way. Just state it’s “your” way.
Have a buddy that did a video on using a Trumpet Call for turkeys. He straight up knows how to run one, but brought in some experts to share their expertise or experiences. And what was cool is the “experts” had their own way of running the call.

Please do this, wolfie.

Most importantly, as mentioned above, everyone's videos are unique to them, your own "slant", with your personality spicing it up, your own way of explaining , that can really help someone to understand , even with a smile.

A huge part of the fun of learning is not just technical information, but enjoying the person who is explaining , even with their own humor . People really like that.

My most favorite instructional videos are from those who put their personality into them, even fun comments what they're thinking along the way...even inserting some stories that go along with what they are showing in the moment.

This!

Yes^^^

LOL you serious . NOTHING but experts on here post !!! Don't believe me just ask !!!!!!

As long as you state "this is what I know and what works for me" I'd say your good to go, If you figure out a shortcut or learn a different method you can amend your videos. We're all still learning if we pay attention and NOT think we know everything...

Just post what you do.
No matter who you are there is always someone who knows more and less.

On any given subject everyone starts low on the learning curve and well presented basic material is as valuable as well presented expert material, it's just valuable to different people. The on-line audience is huge and includes folks of all different experience levels. So, present your experience without pretending to be an expert on what you are not and have at it.

Keep on posting.

Keep it up. You bring a unique perspective and an infectious attitude to your pursuits and hobbies. Nobody can fault you for that and I am sure plenty of folks appreciate the time and effort involved in putting that on video. You offer a lot to a wide range of people so full speed ahead!

Always be humble and not a know_it_all.

You do a great job posting stuff

You share information about the things that you enjoy , find interesting and that give you satisfaction.
You share your own observations from your experiences.
Anyone who puts you down because they fancy themselves a greater expert had best be prepared to demonstrate how they have done more to educate others.

Too many times bein an expert is the end of someone bein a student of life so I don't want to be one.

As far as videos I watch, I have zero problems with a man sayin "this is the first time I have tried this" or "I heard of something new I want to try, y'all can laugh at me if it goes wrong".


The good news about posts here and videos on social media is that they can be found at 2 am when nobody but you are up. They can be read or viewed 5 years from now, maybe even 15 or 20. I have no idea how old some of the trappers tips are but I still read em.

That's my 2 cents

You could always educate yourself on the subjects at the websites that specialize in a certain activity before posting, too.

To for it Wolf...

I think you can handle it!

Mac

So I didn't respond sooner y'all, but thanks for all the advice. Reckon I'll keep on with further plans

yes !!

In all seriousness, there is a lot of money made on Youtube and Rumble by guys doing similar things. There is a dude in NC that runs and excavator and films it, has over 100K subs. He makes money on the channel by showing people how he makes money at work.

I have seen some bad content and it wasn't yours

make sure it isn't your first go round on anything and that you have tested your end result first

if you can make a good product that works and show how you did it , then by all means post it.

And "edit" is your friend...

Keep on wolfie, your doing good job..
