Christmas Free Stuff

A quick advanced warning of some give-aways I'll be doing before Christmas 2023.
Due to the current (engineered) cost of living 'crisis' I'll be giving some great gear away for you guys as a 'THANK YOU' for listening to my boring voice and putting up with my very unprofessional videos for the last few years.
My channel has no 'join' button, no sponsorship and no 'support me' horse crap as it's my passion to give out proper information on filtration, ponds and aquariums with no external influence from corporations who are after your last dollar.
Although my channel has been heavily shadow banned since early 2020 (due to my public views on the Covaids scam and lethal injections) I'm still here and limping along so it's only right to reward the limited amount of people who still get to see my videos. (You can check when the channel strangulation started on http://www.socialblade.com if you don't believe me)
Any give-aways will be limited to subscribers in the UK due to the crazy shipping costs to send beyond the UK - sorry about that but I can only spend so much money to justify keeping this channel going .... it's a hobby which I still love but I don't want to spoil it by selling out for profit.
I hope anyone outside the UK will understand but if you don't you should maybe be asking why the other channels you watch don't give anything away and only want you to give them 'support' (money) ......... oh my ...
I hope everyone has a good Christmas (even though it has nothing to do with when Jesus was born) - it's for the kids at this point - and I wish you all the best for 2024.
The cost of the gear I'll be giving away will be roughly £1500 on the PondGuru channel but last year I gave away gear which was nearer £3000 on my Thousand Yard Stare channel so it may be worth subscribing to that channel too if you're interested in free stuff.
Hot Tip: The method of winning may rely on comments on previous videos so it could be worth revisiting older videos and making a few useful comments on them (which will help future viewers) so I know I'm not just giving stuff away to people who don't interact with the channel ...... my last give away videos had 11 different prize packages and only 3 people from the 11 let me know they even received the free gear or said 'thanks' - I won't make that mistake again.
I can't ever compete with the likes of Mr. Beast who gives millions of dollars worth of stuff away but everything is relative .... you only take into Heaven what you give away.
If you're stumbling onto this video days after it was uploaded it may be worth unsubscribing then resubscribing and hitting the notifications bell to increase the chances of getting a notification from Google whenever I upload a new video.
