Journalist looking to speak to Outdoor Boys subscribers (and fans of similar channels) for New York Times story on camping videos
*Posted with permission from mods!* Hi, I'm a Scotland-based journalist (and outdoors-lover) with a commission from The New York Times to write about the popularity of camping videos on YouTube. My partner has followed these channels for a while and that's how I discovered their huge subscriber base. It has been very insightful to read comments in this thread and below the videos. I wondered if anyone would be willing to chat about the appeal of these videos and their creators, their favorite channels and the wider camping/outdoors trend to provide insight for my story, please? Please send me a DM if you're up for a chat on a video call. I'm also interested to know how many people enjoy camping themselves in addition to watching these channels, and to get a general sense of where in the world people are watching from (and how many female fans are out there!). People could also share some thoughts in this thread, if of interest. Thank you very much for your time! Natalie
