Bessemer at Sunset SAFE? YES, even if one of Bama’s TOP 10 MOST DANGEROUS!

Click here to watch my latest adventure as I go urban hiking in Bessemer, Alabama at Sunset. Is it safe?

Today’s adventure takes us Urban Hiking into Bessemer, Alabama at Sunset.

I love the city of Bessemer. It can get a bad rap of being one of Alabama’s most dangerous cities but I’ve never felt in danger whatsoever! Love the people and the city!

Today’s micro adventure takes me to the city at Sunset to see what things are like. It was gorgeous Urban Hike at Sunset but hot as fire. Again, I always feel safe in Bessemer even at sunset… Your mileage may vary!

Why YouTube at 61 and How Much Do I Make With a SMALL Channel?

Click here to see why I create YouTube videos at 61 years old and how much I make off my small channel!

Why I’m a YouTube Creator at 61 Years Old is the topic of conversation today.

As an added bonus I’ll tell you how much I make from YouTube with my SMALL YouTube Channel.

My YouTube channel began in March of 2020 as a Micro Adventure Channel called allthingstonyj.

I’m a one man show when creating my YouTube videos – even at 61 years old! I typically take a short adventure weekly to create my micro adventure videos.

Creating YouTube videos had been a great hobby of mine for several years now and I’d highly recommend it.

With the YouTube videos I create I hope to inspire and motivate others to get out and take that cheap half day micro adventure as often as possible!

YouTube creators are awesome!
