Hi everyone, my wife and I like to capture all sorts of roads in new England - we live in Vermont so most of the current videos are in Vermont but there are some New Hampshire as well.
I thought this reddit might have some interest in videos like this so I wanted to share. (If this kind of post isn't allowed I apologize)
Love this! Thanks for sharing. I actually had a similar idea as you guys in the last couple years but wound up putting my energy into a music project instead. I just happen to spend a lot of time driving and thought I should capture some of the prettier drives and upload them to YouTube.
If I had launched this, my plan was to swap the camera audio for some LoFi grooves (you can find some free to use stuff that is nice). I enjoy some of those LoFi music channels while working, but would love one with something more interesting than an animated loop on it for visuals.
Anyway, please steal my idea if you dig it! It might help with watch hours too if you are going for monetization. Looks like you aren't far off on the sub front.
Edit: this is also super fun and I'd watch the crap out of more of this stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHwv9kvNbLc
Glad you like this! I have put some audio on one of my nighttime drives in Northfield but I also think the road noise + our chatter can be relaxing at times. Lofi beats would probably achieve the same thing tho!
I might just have to try uploading a longer video that maybe loops with some free lofi beats. (I always worry about YouTube copyright claiming music)
Ya my current lack is the watch hours - it's a pretty large hill to climb lol
I'd definitely try the LoFi thing to boost views if you're up to it / it's in line with your goals for the channel. Do like an hour drive, or just slap some of the videos you have together to make about an hour. You want it to be something that people will put on and forget as they just vibe/work/study/whatever with it in the background. If you hired one of those companies to boost views, this is exactly what they do. The only difference is they have an army of accounts that they then set to watch that video a bunch of times to rack up views. The LoFi vibe videos are pretty popular though so search results alone should bring in views without the fake bot views. Please don't waste your money on those fake views though, growing naturally with people that will stick around to keep the views rolling is a longer grind, but it makes for a very healthy channel.
Good luck!

Edit: thanks for the Demon's Souls tips too! Just started a new playthrough last week!
Thank you for the good advice and kind words!
The demon souls video and the donkey Kong country video are the only two gaming videos I left up when I made the change. They seem to be helpful so I'm glad you could use the demon souls video!
I also love the idiots in cars - it's a little tougher to get footage since it's just the things I personally see but I do have another one in the works since people can't seem to drive very well around me
Nice!! Don’t sleep on shorts either! Great way to get attention for your channel right now.
wow interesting for sure
Very cool! Keep up the good work. :)
Hey fellow cruiser! My wife and I love to do this as well. We've hit almost every highway in NH so far. A bunch in Maine and VT also. Let me know if you are looking for ideas. Cool idea for a YouTube channel.
There are so many amazing roads in new england it can be tough to get them all! I'm open to any ideas!
Okay!
ME 17 in Maine especially the "Height of Land". Possibly the prettiest place on earth in peak foliage? I only slightly exaggerate.
Route 26 from Newry Me into Vt. Just terrain that doesn't really exist anywhere else in New England. I like going west, it's a bit more dramatic.
VT 5A. More terrain that is fairly unique for this area. Lake Willoughby is so pretty.
VT 102. I prefer it to the NH side of the river. It's much more scenic.
NH 115A. Short, but has the best view of the presidentials. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth a side trip.
NH 16. You probably have driven by Mt Washington, but this road is still incredible north of Berlin the whole way to Eustis.
VT 9. I really love this area. It feels like you're surrounded by history, if that makes sense.
Thank you for all these! I will definitely look into cruising down some of these routes.
I do have the kancamangus highway and a lot of the white mountain highway area of NH16 that I haven't uploaded yet but I have not gone as far north as you suggest I'll have to check it out, as I love that area.
These are the legit options. I drove 102 for the first time last month and was impressed! I want to drive Rte 26 this summer and VT 9 is also another gorgeous mountainous drive

Always cool to see someone working on a project like this. I have tried capturing certain drives in the State using Timelapse techniques. Such a great place to drive around.
