Time to Retire... The End of this Chapter for Me 

always happy to be along for the ride, appreciate your insights as usual Matt

Leaving us hanging on this for 2 weeks now.... the suspense is killing me.

I'll be 73 in June. I've had cancer twice and a stroke. I am just now beginning to think about legacy. Don't rush your life. Take time to really do what *you* want to do. Great video, Matt. I'm looking forward to seeing what you'll do next.

Yo Matt....we are all hanging on a thread out here waiting for your follow up Ted Talk to this absolute gem. Praying for you and yours and believing that the next chapter will be better than the last one.

MC RANCH RESORTS, LLC ......Well done Matt, this sounds like it will be pretty awesome.

Today would be a great day to drop the vlog that finally lets us know what is next! We are excited to find out and today is day 14 😊.

What Matt doesn’t realize is he has a legacy already just from the happiness and love he’s spread to everyone he meets and people he hasn’t met yet. The love kindness and happiness he has spread has helped others to do the same which is a form of a legacy in my opinion 😊

I’m only 15 but i’ve been watching Matt’s videos since i was 6. I grew up with guns but i’ve grown to understand a lot more from watching his videos. While i can say that i’ve done a lot in my short life time Matt has done more for me than anyone else in my life. So thank you Matt you pulled me out of some dark places and you have a legacy among your people

Vet Ranch is your legacy & you have made a difference for many years to come! Thank you!

Checking back multiple times a day and looking for hints in demo ranch video for any signs of what's to come! Hopefully tomorrow will be the big reveal! Is it a ghost town, abandoned theme park, or an abandoned island!?

Must be taking one hell of a vacation. I hope you're enjoying it!

Currently at the point I couldn’t care less about the countdown and just would like another @OffTheRanch Vlog.

As a 36 year old man who has been watching since Lego shotgun days 😂 I can say he has created a legacy with his followers, I didn't grow up in a household with guns, Matt taught me about gun safety and also to have fun while doing it. Thanks Matt ❤️ my family will forever be grateful and when my daughter is old enough, she will meet you either IRL or in your videos and she will gain a healthy understanding of firearms, family and freedom. 🤘👍🦅

I think this may be the longest that we've ever gone between videos for OTR. Hope everything's okay with him and his family.

This arrangement, his brilliant perspective and vocabulary, and this masterfully-crafted guitar are a very VERY high-quality musical combination

Dude. I’ve been here since i was 13. I’m 25 now with a 3 year old who watches every episode. Either way i hope your future endeavors are as great as chapter 1.

Always enjoyed the stupid antics but truly, I ended up loving OffTheRanch more. Just such a good role model. Mer is a saint. Finding out Drew was your younger brother was just so awesome too.

3 weeks now…. At least we know you’re alive from Demo vids

"he wants to make sure his family has everything they need, they have food, shelter and safety" Speaking of safety, this episode is sponsored by simply safe

This is killing me!! I look forward to seeing these videos. I have been checking multiple times a day for the last 2 weeks

I needed to hear this. I just turned 27 and I keep feeling like I'm lagging behind by not being in stage 2 yet, hearing you say that I should be comfortable being in chapter 1 is a huge relief for me. Thanks, Matt. I've been watching you for about a decade now, and your positivity has legitimately changed my life

Are we going to get any other videos here. Your killing us with the suspense for new content. Love ya guys and stay safe you and the whole family

As a 28-year-old with a pregnant wife, not earning much cause I don't have a proper career. Scared out of my mind of the furture. This gave me hope 😢. Thanks Matt

I hope everything is okay!! Now I’m getting worried!!

To me his legacy is what he has done with vet ranch. They have helped so many animals. Also the great job he and mare are doing raising their kids. Keep it up.

This was like listening to his dad talk . God bless ya brother

Stumbled on Vet Ranch in 2010 and branched to Demolition Ranch and Off the Ranch. You and your family have been creating a legacy on making a positive change in society with every video. Looking forward to chapter 2.

I get it, April fools!! 🎉🎉 ha! Good one Matt, you got us all!

Matt..... Come on now suspense is killing us.. love your videos I've been watching for years.. Hope all is well

Thank you Matt. We rarely miss any of your videos, my whole family are big fans, but this is an episode I will share and discuss with my sons for so many reasons.

Matt has gotten so good at trolling all of us with the titles, and I am OK with it. 😂😂😂

Helpful message for a 28 year old dad to hear. Thanks, Matt 💪.

Can't wait for chapter 2! Chapter one was epic!

it's been so long since the last update that at this point i can only assume matt was ended in a terrible accident and the channel is now a memorial.

Thank for sharing your chapter 1 Matt. It has been an entertaining one for me. Oh, I agree with the Dave Ramsey thing. My wife got us out of debt in three years.

Started watching you as a 16 year old kid, can confirm you’ve already made a positive difference in my life. Thanks Matt ❤

Happy grown ass man day Matt! ❤️🇨🇦

You’re a good man Matt. Keep it up

You have been handed a pot of gold - but know what you have and have managed it well - God Bless - You provide excellent content across all your channels.

A young man works to make a living A grown man works to make a difference An old man works to make a legacy I need to make a motivational video out of this!

Matt your positivity, the way you’ve handled the loss of loved ones, the way you’ve grown your brand, the way you treat your family and friends is an inspiration alone. Personally it’s gotten me thru a divorce, being homeless, depression etc. You lead by example and im sure plenty of guys feel the same thanks for your work.

Matt's Legacy has been right here the whole time, he has been a good role model, and inspiration to us all. I (now 17) grew up watching his videos, I've been watching from basically the beginning with the original shot gun shells. He has taught me who I want to be, when he brought his family into the picture and showed us how he interacted with his kids, I saw something I never had seen before, and I am inspired to one day have a family and treat them the same as he treats his. He has shown me what a difference a kind personality can bring, and he has shown the balance of work and fun as a grown man. he is a major inspiration to me, and I'm sure many others. I am forever great full for everything he has taught and shown me!

you'll know when chapter two ends, you can feel it just as much as you knew when chapter 1 ended. Respect to you fella

The second you had kids, that you love, adore, and care for.......... That was the moment you had a legacy. Nothing else matters.

Almost 3 weeks and no update on a vlog channel! C'mon MATT

I'm 35 now, still stuck in chapter 1...I'm a lover aren't I, but this video made me want to fight more, I need to for my family

been watchin for like 7 years matt you’re an inspiration

Matt you have inspired me to be a better man and help me and my friend learn we don't tell our wife's about our gun purchases 😂😊

your Killin us Matt.

Matt this has been one of your most inspirational videos for me because I'm in the early stages of chapter 1 right now. 2 young kids, 40k in debt, trying to get a house.

LETS GET THIS BIG SECRET OUT ALREADY !😮

I need this video transcripted cause this is an inspirational speech right here. This is some thing that graduating college seniors, or even high school seniors need to hear to realize the difference they can make throughout their life.

Love your message, Matt.

Matt, its been 2 weeks... roll that countdown bubba ⌛️

Ok Matt... It's been 2 weeks. Spill the beans man 😅

Congratulations on all your successes Matt, you loom great for any age but I didn't realize you are 37

I feel that intro Matt. Hoping my book will be one of the things remembered in a thousand years. I know how it feels to be at that 3rd stage.

Part of your legacy to me is the phrase that you passed onto us. "Do something Today to make Tomorrow better." Something we should all strive for.

I imagine u want more than this, but u already have a legacy to be proud of. Your videos/community have been a beakon of light for a ton of us. U inspire me to be a better man, a better father, and husband. U also inspire me to keep buying firearms. Lol. Ur influence has been one of positivity, and love and hard work. Theres always room for improvement, but dont sell urself short. U make millions of people smile on a daily basis. Thats a pretty great legacy.

I started watching Matt's work with VetRanch. Seen it grow w/ Demolition Ranch and OffTheRanch is just amazing.

Dude come on we need a update!

I love Dave Ramsey, brother! I’m sure you have, but take a look at more of his programs and such! His outfit offers so many tools and resources for life! I love watching your channels and am so very thankful you’ve kept them clean! Keep up the hard work and make that difference!

What the heck Matt!!!!! Come on man tell us whats going on even if its an update saying we have to wait.

Not gonna lie, you had us in the first half.

Let’s goooo Matt. Can’t wait to see what it is.

Dear Matt, it’s been 12 days. Best wishes, impatient fan

As a 26 year old who has yet to discover the path I want to pursue in my life, this is definitely the pep talk I needed. As always, it's been a delight watching you over the years, but this may be my favorite video of yours. Can't wait til part 2.

Matt's impact on the world was clearly felt when he poured ranch dressing and honey in a reeeeeaaaaally long suppressor.

Seems like the next video is taking forever to come!

I am a 83 year old woman who 2 months ago was very close to chapter 4. I now know why God said not yet, it was so I could watch you grow. God bless you and all your family.

It seems you've gained some wisdom young man; don't stop there, your whole life is, just now, ahead of you. You have much to do and the resources to achieve those things, Godspeed!

Haven't been able to watch lately, been very sick, but this one is off the hook, steelar. Congrats... I hope.😳😄 Eyes on the prize. 🙏❤🙏🇺🇸

Really looking forward to watching you take a number 2 mate. Go hard.

Day 457: it’s been long. Too long. We are running out of food, water is drying up. We get false hope of the video coming soon… but no video in sight. I’m not sure how much longer I can hold on. How much longer will this last. If Matt is really out there, if he’s real… I pray to him. Dear Matt, save us. Save us from these hard times we are in. Post the video. Amen

The anticipation for Matt's new project is killing me. It's gonna be *BIG.*

Damn, now Matt gives dad advise like garand thumb does. I like it.

Being 26 I've watched you since the start. I've always looked up to you and still do. Thanks for every single video you've put up. Your such an inspiration

Did you buy a animal sanctuary?😅😊 it’s so awesome to see how far you and yours have come! 👊🏻

I'm still well into chapter 1, getting myself ready for a family that may not even happen. lol. I feel like in some ways it's easier for people who already have that ride or die woman with them and maybe a kid on the way because you know without speculation what you are fighting for. For me, nursing school, working as a nurse, failing and picking myself back up to try again, all of that was done blind. I don't know that there's gonna be anyone in my life but me, but I know I have to prepare like there is going to be because my life wasn't meant to be spent alone. The motivation has been really hard to find at times, but I'm doing it anyway. Gotta keep moving so I don't get stagnant. Next move is nurse practitioner and my own house.

I'm 29 now and I've been watching since I was just a young man. Hands down my favorite creator and I'm just happy to see what's next.

Matt, you have made a huge impact on my life. I found your videos after my stepdad shot himself way back in the beginning when you blew up a shotgun by shooting it in water. I have watched all of your videos since. (Demolition ranch, off the ranch, and even vet ranch) I hope some day I can come to Texas from Canada to meet the man. I consider my biggest inspiration in life! Cheers, and I'm excited to see chapter two!

Your a good man that's why whatever you choose will succeed 💯

Man I see this on April 1st. I thought it was a joke, then I see that it's 5 days old and it scared me. I'm happy that it's just the "old" Matt retiring and a new one coming along. Still gave me a reality check on don't take things for granted

Speechless I never thought I’d see the day but yet here I am you can’t make it up God bless

🥺we love you Matt. I’ll be in basic training by tomorrow so I’ll get back to see how the huge project turns out in a few months. Good luck with it all.

Bro I saw the title and wanted to cry. You’re playing with our feelings

39 year old teacher from germany here. That legacy thing ist hard, man. It would be so much easier to just not do it. Keeping at it is absolutely the toughest part. You'd be surprised about the sheer amount of force you have to overcome on your way. So far, I haven't given up. And I won't. Hopefully. Thank you for all of your hard work, matt!

Loved this Matt if everyone would do that it would make a difference all round

Matt as a marine and as born breaded southern boy I love watching your videos and following you along man on bad days your videos make a huge difference thank you for everything you’ve done

Matt, thank you for the miles of smiles you have given us. :)

You have a very uncanny ability to keep us all hanging and wanting the next episode now!😂 Damn it man! I’m over here waiting for two weeks to see what another grown ass man is up to.😂

Good for you. Been watching since Vet Ranch.

For you that can't wait, he's opening a resort. Probobly a ghost town type theme. Google it. MC RANCH Resorts

You got this, good luck!

2 WEEKS MATT! 2 WEEKS! your killing me

Bro, if you started your own gun company that would be crazy. I have been watching you since video number one years and years ago. You were one of the big inspirations to the gun world for me and I don’t watch your videos all the time anymore. I’m, almost at the end of my chapter 1 getting close to grown ass man stage hopefully soon to start chapter 2, but I’ve been here since I was young. I don’t even think I had a drivers license when you were making your first videos. Anyways, look forward to the future and to see what that brings. God bless.

Come on matt its been 2 weeks no update or nothing. Your fans are waiting you should give us an update or something

As a fellow animal lover, blue collar worker, you sir have inspired me and millions of others to be better humans. You're doing God's work in a way anyone can relate to. Thank you for years of entertainment, education, being a distant best friend ✌️👍🇺🇸🐍

As someone who just started Chapter 3, welcome to Chapter 2. Although I'm not sure I am now, or ever will be a grown-ass man. At least, I hope not.

Well an inspiration your are. I’m the same age as you and your positivity to life is the main reason I stay to watch more. Keep it up mate.
