On a usual day Kyle Hates Hiking draws a little over 200,000 views. Right now it runs closer to 320,000, and most of that lift comes from a single upload.

"This Uncensored Everest Footage Made My Skin Crawl. Seriously." tells the story of Marco Siffredi on Mount Everest, which the description calls baffling. It opened with more than 100,000 views on its first day and has passed half a million in six days. In the comments, many viewers keep returning to one question: why he chose to go back to the mountain after a first attempt he survived. Others talk about the Sherpas' warnings and about Marco's family.

The second upload, "The Dark TRUTH Behind This Couple's "Vanlife Dream"...", is about Emily Ferlazzo and a life on the road that ended in tragedy. It started almost as fast as the Everest video but has settled at a gentler pace since. Behind both, a thirteen-day-old video about Chris Roma in the White Mountains has passed 800,000 views and is still drawing a steady crowd.

Kyle, who walked the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine in 2018, describes his channel as outdoor mysteries and stories told with compassion. The week added about 5,000 subscribers, which leaves him 15,000 short of a million. Among the story and mystery channels nearest his size, he sat in the middle for views gained, while 5PM and Gravity Dreams had far bigger weeks and Dr Bob and Wonder World moved at their usual pace.
