About My YouTube Playlists

I have way more video playlists on my YT channels than I have listed on my website. I'm still working on that and more are coming!

Dusty Reins Stories Playlists Page

You may note that not all the videos on some playlists are actually on my channels. That is because if I run across a good video from another source, I may add it to a playlist to help out other channels or because there is some good info in those other videos. You won't get a notification when I add videos from other channels so it pays to take a look at a playlist every now and then for new content.

You may not get to view some videos on a playlist. When YouTube puts an age limit on a video you will not be able to view it on my site. You will have to have a YouTube account and watch it after signing in if you are 18 or over. Also, some videos are restricted to only my Channel Members. Membership is not active just yet but will be soon!

I Need Help

I need your help to identify American annual community celebrations or events between the Mississippi River and the Sierra and Cascade mountains and from Canada to Mexico borders. If you live within those boundaries I would like you to send me the name, date(s), and locations of annual events in your area.

UPDATE: 10/14/2022 - I am already penciling in places and dates on my schedule for 2023. You can see my schedule at the bottom of the page and your suggestions will show up after I can verify the event.

The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally is the largest motorcycle rally in the world. It is held annually in The Black Hills and in Sturgis, South Dakota for 10 days during the first week of August. It was started by local Indian dealer Pappy Hoel in 1938. Since its beginning, private area businesses throwing events such as races, concerts, and rides have made, and continue to make, the Sturgis Rally what it is today. 2022 will mark the 82nd annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, according to  the official website at https://sturgis.com/   #live #americanheartlands #sturgis2022 #sturgis
My first two days in Sturgis were spent documenting all the action in the downtown area in real-time by live streaming to YouTube on Dusty Reins Stories. I tried using my cell phone at first but it would overheat and the cell service was not good. So I had to figure out how to get my GoPro 9 to Streamcast via WiFi and my Starlink RV service connection. You can watch the results for yourself in the embedded videos below but I recommend you click on the video to view it in full screen because the GoPro does not have a zoom ability and there is a lot going on.

The United States Team Penning Association was having its World Finals competition in the Amarillo National Center Arena and on the Tri-State Fairgrounds in Amarillo, Texas when I began documenting western culture in the American Heartlands. Here are a few video examples of some of the competition and you can find the rest on the same channel.

I began by documenting a qualifying USTPA regional event in the ANC Arena.

NOTE: The documentary video below has been shadow-banned by YouTube! It was published on Nov. 2021 and has received more than 6 million views with no problem. It was put into a restricted status between 9 & 10 AM on Oct. 25, 2022, with no explanation.

This has been my most popular video (more than 6 million views) until it was put into a "Limited/Restricted" status. And yet they will never tell me what is in the video that caused the change in status. That is a lot like getting arrested and thrown into jail and fined without stating clearly what I did to get arrested. Who wants to live in a country where totalitarians punish people constantly while keeping us in the dark with no evidence of any wrongdoing?

That's why I am sick of constantly living in fear of getting punished. I am starting to publish videos on Rumble. There you will see the uncensored versions of what I publish on YouTube and Rumble-only content I hope you will join me over there where you can see videos that will never be published on YouTube. I created a video channel American Heartlands on Rumble so I can share what I really wanted you to see without fear of being punished for it.

They have not taken the video down so I guess I will have to promote it myself until they do. This is what they don't want you to see.

I have published the video on my Rumble channel American Heartlands and I hope to earn your support for my uncensored work with your views and a free subscription.

The only feedback I have from YouTube so far about this matter/ It is a screenshot I added the video title to in pink and highlighted the YouTube response in yellow. YouTube requires all creators to check all the boxes on an ESG compliance form. You can see what I checked off but a YouTube reviewer claims I should have checked the category in the yellow.

YouTube Rating

I would love to read your thoughts about this matter. Click through on one of the videos to go to the video page on YouTube or Rumble and leave your comments below the video.

I have created a channel on Rumble named American Heartlands! 

The new channel will mirror recent uploads to the popular channel Dusty Reins Stories on YouTube but will also feature videos that will never appear on YouTube unless they change their social scoring policies. I am calling the new Rumble channel American Heartlands.  I realized all my videos past and future are likely to have been generated in rural locations west of the Mississippi. Perhaps I will travel east of the Mississippi River in the future if I get some good tips about where and when from viewers in that region of the American Heartlands.

You may see several events on the same day. I can only pick one to go next depending on where I was located during the prior event I attended. Fuel is expensive these days!
