Luke Nichols calls Outdoor Boys journey a ‘wild ride’
In his last video on YouTube titled “Goodbye”, Nichols on Saturday told his millions of fans, “Hey everyone, this is going to be my last video for a little while.

And believe it or not, I've made 1,110 videos.”
Calling their journey a “wild ride,” he emphasized on the amount of time and energy that he dedicated to making YouTube videos. “So many late nights editing and packing and unpacking, camping with pneumonia, building log cabins while injured.”
