I am battling stage 4 cancer. I live vicariously through these videos.Thank you for your content❤

This is why I enjoy your channel so much. Your honesty and openness makes you feel like a friend to me. I look forward to your videos each week. Thank you for sharing yourself with us.

Thank you for your heartfelt and sincere telling of your story. The moment I started following your videos, I knew there was something I liked. Keep up the good work brother we are proud of you and the courage it took to share the things that made you who you are today.

I simply wanted to mention that this video felt deeply moving, and I could sense your sincerity and authenticity. I enjoy your videos immensely. It is difficult to express how much they assist me in daily life, not to mention their impact. I believe they help me become a better person.  

I check daily for new releases. I cannot get enough of them. I truly appreciate everything you do for us.  

On difficult days, I turn to your videos even though I have seen them repeatedly, as they lift my mood. It is hard to explain why they just do.  

Much respect, my brother from Gold Coast, Australia 🙏🏼

18 years. I had been clean for nearly 4 years when I got pregnant with my miracle baby (I was told for various health reasons I'd never have kids).  Prior to her arrival, I was clean but my life was still a mess; she gave me the drive to get my shit together & provide her (& myself!) with a decent life.  I had a rough childhood, but pulled things together by the time I was 20, but had a catastrophic relapse due to medical issues & ended up in worse places than I had ever seen prior.  But I'm here now, and doing great & keep trudging forward.  I have a fabulous relationship with my teen & god-willing I will continue to do so!

Glad you got your life together too. 😊   Thanks for another video!

As an abuse and DV survivor, much respect to you for not only sharing your story but powering through and becoming a human others can relate and look up to. Outdoor exploration is healing and when I can't get out there I watch good people like yourself doing great things  Thank you for the videos

Thank you so much for sharing your story, brother. Learning from our mistakes, makes us who we are. Look at you now. I never really did any time, but I got put into a foster home when I was a teenager because of all the trouble I got into. Im lucky thats all that happened, because it should have been much worse. Spending my high school years away from my family was quite a wake-up call. Stepping back from that particular friend group and having kids opened my eyes, and gave me what I needed to thrive. God, my wife, and my kids are the reason I live. Bless you and your family, bro. Your outlet has become something we look forward to seeing every week. Thank you!

7 years sober here!
I enjoy your videos so much. I look forward to every single one. You are rhe best part of all of us that follow you.  Very  real, down to earth and could easily be everyone's best friend.

'Always work on tomorrow, but start today.'
I love you my brother in Christ. ❤️🐾🐾

Love the rawness of this video brother. It ain't easy laying it all on the line. IF you lose anyone from this video, it's one's who needed to leave anyway. EVERYONE of us have a past. It's the old saying (Every Sinner has a future, Every Saint has a past!!) I'm proud to call you a brother and a friend!! Much love from Southern Indiana Outdoors ❤️

Everyone has a past.
Glad you learned from it.
I learned from mine.
My kids changed me and I’m so thankful for them.
👊✊👊
