One user expressed their worries, asking, “Is Matt, the crew, and his family safe? If they are, we know they are out there doing their best for the community. I am sorry for all the devastation on so many levels.” In response, the resort reassured everyone by confirming that “everyone is safe” and emphasized that “all our houses were unaffected by the floods.”

In January 2025, Carriker made headlines by announcing his decision to retire from YouTube and listing his impressive $15 million property for sale. Over his 14-year tenure on the platform, he produced around 700 videos showcasing various firearms and engaging with his audience.

In the wake of the flooding, Desperado Resort has updated its website with resources aimed at assisting flood victims. They are not alone in their efforts; many individuals and organizations are stepping up to help those in need across Texas.

Long day boys. There’s a little town beside Kerrville called Center Point that was completely destroyed by the flood. They have one volunteer fire department that was caught in the water, carrying away every piece of emergency equipment they have. Dudes barely got their fire… pic.twitter.com/nwCIidVS9g
