Career

YouTube

In April 2007, Matt launched his YouTube channel ‘OffTheRanch’ in which he began posting videos of his personal life and animals. His first video titled ‘Dog versus Deer ORIGINAL’ was uploaded in 2009.

 

Later, the channel became famous after Matt began posting videos renovating abandoned houses, cars, and other things. The channel hosts more than 4 million subscribers (as of 2021). On January 3, 2011, still undergraduate, Matt Carriker opened his YouTube channel ‘DemolitionRanch’ due to his love for guns and began uploading videos on his channel. He uploaded his first video ‘SPAS-12 vs Computer Monitor (Franchi LAW-12)’ on the same day the channel was launched.

 

His increasing interest in YouTube affected his studies, making him fail the final exams in graduation. He decided to quit making videos for some time to focus on his studies, which would have allowed him to open his own vet clinic. After he graduated, he started uploading videos on his YouTube channel again as his subscribers count increased. As of June 2021, DemolitionRanch has over 10 million people subscribed to it.

The first video on the channel titled ‘Janie, Hit By a Car (GRAPHIC)’ was released in February 2014. The channel has more than 2.50 million subscribers.
