In April 2007, he created his YouTube channel “OffTheRanch”, where he initially posted videos of his personal life and animals. His first video on the channel was titled “Dog and Deer Original” and was uploaded in 2009.
However, the channel is known for Matt’s renovation videos of abandoned houses, cars, and other items. The channel has over 4 million subscribers (as of 2021). While studying for his degree, Matt Carriker created his YouTube channel “DemolitionRanch” on January 3, 2011 out of his love for guns.

As of June 2021, DemolitionRanch has over ten million subscribers.
