I Mined a Fossil Site

My dad fought that dinosaur on his way to school

Andre must've really trusted Ryan to let him do this

Ryan isn’t socially awkward, he’s awkwardly social

Love how Ryan said “I added the bird sound effect. There’s no birds out here” 😂😂😂

I really love how all of Ryan’s videos don’t feel forced

As a teacher, this is all I want in life. Not the $10,000 (though it wouldn’t hurt lol ), but to have a student tell me I was there for them when they felt like no one else was. How beautiful.

I feel like Ryan actually makes videos he enjoys, like it’s so random with a 10 minute video about fossils, but he makes it so interesting and entertaining

Ryan’s talent is finding things everyone always hoped they’d do as a kid and making it into a shared experience

ryan can make anything in to an incredibly entertaining story

This memory episode makes me feel proud to know the depth of the reason, instead of a making random decisions to dig fossils.
The fact that you tried to make your own products as a kid is incredible, believe in yourself and bring your company back to life!
Always treat the teachers of the world as they deserve.
That was a beautiful memory episode!
We are Glad that you all successfully found the fossils.

How does Andre manage to be so happy all of the time? I love it

watching this in a coffee shop and fighting back tears - I did not expect that when I clicked on this video! LOL! I had a hard time being involved with christians in my life, but to see the way your teacher took the time to write you that incredibly kind note is so lovely and healing

ryan in his excavation era 🦖

Ryan seems to be the meaning of Joy, he's kind of goofy, but that somehow brings us some laughs, he acts like he has no tomorrow and in such a positive way, even if there are people who don't like him, that doesn't change the fact that he manages to put a smile on your face every time.

when excavating fossils weren't enough for Ryan, Ryan started excavating fossil sites instead.
huge respec for this mad lad

Ryan genuinely makes my day better

Ryan’s content and editing and humor is just yes

*Genuinely the best Clip-Sharer to date, Ryan you deserve to be titles the king of this platform. Insane video, I legit smiled from start to finish. Thank you for dropping this legendary content as per usual*

I’m not kidding I could have watched 6 hours of this 🦖

How is this guy so magical. I started watching him a week ago and I can’t stop watching

The way that Ryan’s videos are actual art that makes me tear up every time, so genuine

The topic of the video itself is crazy, and the fact that you brought me to tears at the end is even better. That was an amazing video Ryan. Good job

Love how you’re not afraid to show messages of faith. Would LOVE to see more that! :)

The level of wholesomeness Ryan projects in one video is enough to cure any depression in this world.

I absolutely love Ryan's spirit, his confidence, and joy he brings to us in every video

I’m happy to see Ryan doing so much just for a nine minute vid. ❤❤

This video is so amazing and so wholesome, you really deserve coming so far, please keep doing what you love and explore. Love you and your videos 😉 greetings from Germany ☺️
PS you are a huge inspiration. Especially being so humble and coming from the bottom

Ryan is so funny and unexpected. He's helped me though rough times. You have made me laugh every time I watch your videos. Keep being you

I don't understand how ryan can make anything entertaining and fun to watch

It seems like Ryan is doing things he’s genuinely interested in the past couple videos
And I love it!!!

Ryan thank you for sharing all of these amazing journeys, stories and moments with the world! You make people smile! I’m lucky to be one of them!

How does Ryan do this stuff??? Like. Wow. He just does the things we all want to do but think will never happen, and he makes it look easy

Ryan is literally like a ball of sunshine, he is THE VIBE 🥰

Hey! I just wanted to say I love your videos and you have really inspired me to get outside and spend time with friends (bc I am a kid that will stay inside a lot) and how in one of your videos you were saying you were the luckiest man alive and yeah I honestly agree ☺

You can tell Ms. McCain absolutely loves her job and is one of those teachers that no one forgets. She’s worked hard for many years and is definitely deserving of your generous gift. Great video, Ryan! They never disappoint.

I need to know some of morris' story!! Dude I just helped a friend unwrap hundreds of fossils, crystals, and other fun mineraly rocks the other day and I'm still going off the excitement!! I def want to play in the field and find my own goodies:3

Ryan can always makes his videos so wholesome. Keep up the great work!

As someone who is going to school for archeology and anthropology, I really appreciate this video. Especially from one of my favorite youtubers.

Who else just loves Ryan’s wholesomeness and positivity 👍🏻

Put Ryan in the next Jurassic World.

The subject of the video itself is insane, and the fact that you made me cry at the end is even better. That was a great video, Ryan.

such a kind soul❤keep doing great things Ryan! don't give up:)

At 7:22, I've had that same smile on my face before. Finding something in the field like a skull or something else rare is one of the best feelings.
Just last year I managed to re-find a site I found in 2019 but never managed to tag it which is not something that normally happens and I have a picture of me sitting besides my newly (re)found site with the same grin that Andre has. This year I'm hoping to get back out there are start excavating since there are a lot of fresh fragments so the lead Paleontologists is pretty sure it's going to lead to more bones.

I love Morris! Keep up the great work, Ryan!

Admire your passion for paleontology and expertise shown in excavating a fossil site. Impressed by your educational and fascinating videos. Supporting and eagerly awaiting future content.

The way Ryan always has a backstory along with proper storytelling makes all of his videos absolute bangers.

ryans video skills are incredible

I love dinosaurs and this made my day!✨

Dang like every well known youtuber ever including youtube has commented on this video! Ryan you are going places! Thank you for bringing a spark of simple beauty to my day.

Love you ms. mcCain teachers like you are so important for us during our upbringing. Thanks for being awesome!❤

The message from the teacher choked me up. What an amazing woman and a perfect role model to be in a teaching position

Your videos r always over the top. U r an Amazing soul. Thanks for spreading so much positivity in this depressing world.

Can we just appreciate how much work Ryan puts in to his vids

Andre seems like such a cool dude to hang with and talk fossils!

Ive been watching u since you posted how to use a neptune bottle and now you are killing it out here you're going to carry 2023 much love and support keep up the grind

ryan just does what makes him and ppl around him happy which is just amazing

Ryan’s the type of guy to hold memories and good people closer than a penny tattoo.

A Ryan Trahan video always makes my day. :)

He’s so awkward so funny at the same time keep making videos. This is amazing.

This is so much fun to watch and it’s so interesting
Love it!

We need more videos like this.

From living on a penny to excavating fossils!

Dude you should make more videos of dinosaur fossil hunting, I really enjoy it, one of the best videos out there, and one of the best Clip-Sharers out there.

This is so awesome, I love that you gave back to your teacher 🥺

As an aspiring field paleontologist I could only DREAM of doing something like this, so lucky >:0

What a teacher. After a decade with 0 communication she wanted to talk to you at least one more time to encourage you.
God bless this amazing soul.

This dude knows how to make great content

As a retired second grade teacher this touches me so much! Ryan, I bet you were a sweet second grader!

Andre seems like such a cool guy lmao.

Hope you’re staying warm Ryan , thanks for posting this on a “snow day”
