Today is May 28, 2023. I’m praying that you have a safe trip. That your vehicle doesn’t break down. I’m praying that you are safe at your new home. Stay safe as you build your house. I pray that this adventure is everything that you want it to be. God bless.

Hi! The apple didn't fall far from the tree and I mean this in a very good way... you were raised & nurtured by great role models! I am envisioning you already in Alaska, you have met great people, your cabin is built, & you are happy! Thanks for taking us along with you on your journey. Much love!❤️🇨🇦
I see a lot of your Mom and Dad in you. You’re going to do great. Praying for traveling mercy and safety for you. Enjoy the adventure. If ever you need reassurance and comfort, read Psalms 91 and Psalms 121. God Bless You.🙏❤️
Thank you, I will :)
As a mother I had tears in my eyes when you left. Good luck to you and praying for your safety and that God will be the center of your life. Thanks for taking us along on your journey. Look forward to your new adventures.
"god"? Grow up.
@@Anonymous-wb3nzstfu gi be atheist somehwere else.
Thanks so much for including us on your journey ! Watched your Mom and Dad on Alone last night. What powerful, strong and determined parents you come from. I have no doubt you will be such a huge success at whatever you put your mind to. Travel safe. Will be praying for you all along the way.
Do you know what his parents channel is called?
@@debbiewenckowski4670 His Dad's is Bushradical and his Mom's is Girl in the Woods. They are both great channels ! ! Enjoy
I made my journey to Alaska 13 years ago from Central NY. Like you I sold what I could and packed up the rest. My wife and myself purchased a cheap school bus, loaded up 35 sled dogs and headed on our way. I have zero regrets and everyday is like a dream come true for us..
Your parents did an amazing job. For you to feel thankful for your childhood and appreciating the home you grew up in, and with that foundation having the confidence and bravery to be an adult. Congrats! God bless you and strength you, and seek Him in all you do.
Good to see the young spirit. You can do it..
Thanks Stan :)
Cutest personality, lol. I have grandkids your age and older… I’m going to thoroughly enjoy watching your experiences and personal growth. 💖
When you head out that driveway in life, never look back.
I'm so glad to be here with such an awesome young man. I'm 80 so I'm watch you start out on your dream. I will enjoy your journey. I promise to pray for you everyday.
My husband and I lived in michigan for 40 years. We sold everything we owned and made the BIG MOVE TO ALASKA in August.
We are excited to be following you for your BIG Adventure to Alaska! We pray that everything goes smoothly and you make it to Alaska safely with no issues. Best of luck today!
Best of luck. Most young folks today have no idea or want to get out and start adulting. So courageous!
Oh I don’t have a clue what to do, but I’m figuring it out as I go 😂
@@MickWhipplesometimes knowing what you Don't want is the Best starting point. 😉 Wishing you ALL the adventures and safety!!!
All kids today want to get out and adult. It’s just the economy and late stage capatilism has destroyed our options. Gone are the days of single income houses or cheap land. It’s been bought up and inflated to near unlivable levels.
Watching these in reverse orders as I subbed some time ago.
Had to chuckle at the suggestion about having a good playlist. As a senior citizen I thought Nahh... then remembered a motorcycle trip to Alaska a few years ago. It was pre-programable phones so I had a device to play music. I loaded it up . Turned out it only recorded about 13 songs. I got so sick of those 13 I don't think I've listened to one of them since. Anxious to follow your winter reports from the cabin.
Made me cry watching your car driving away…
Wish you the best. You have a great foundation to build on! Take care of yourself!
I so wish you well. For those that didn't do it this way but wish they had, they will get to some extent live it through you. And for those of us that did do it that way but are now older with most of our "adventures" behind us, we get to somewhat live it again. You were so very fortunate to have the parents you had so always be grateful to them. But, not everyone with great parents takes advantage of that advantage. You seem to be headed in the right direction! Kudos to you and keep on keepin' on!!
Looking at you driving away from your home to go to your new life in Alaska reminded me of my sadness when leaving my parents after short visits home. It was only a 2 hour drive, but I missed seeing family and childhood friends. Cell phones were not sold for the general population, and I couldn't afford a landline phone, so letters had to do. I would always comfort myself with singing the song, The Impossible Dream. Tears were intermingled with the song, but the words helped me keep my goals in mind. I am a believer, so prayer and knowing God also gave hope and help along my life journey. As I am now a senior woman, I reflect on the good memories and am happy I followed my dream, although different than yours. I have few regrets and enjoyed meeting all the new people and adding friends who have helped me along my pathway. I pray you find many friendships to share and enjoy your exciting adventures that lay ahead. I will be glad to follow your journey each week. God bless you, your sibling(seems like I recall you have one), and your parents.
This series is better than any show I could imagine.
Have a fabulous journey. 🏕️
Thank you Jackie!
I moved up to Yukon when I was 19 for work. Best thing I ever did !
I love your parents and now I love you. Most enjoyable people to listen to
Who are his parents?
I do not want you to fail but I must admit, I keep waiting for you to say something that would make me think that you will. You are mature, focused and I can't wait to see how this all goes.
So today you start your journey. Good luck!
Wishing you lots of luck on the trek to Alaska. Hope you have sat down with your parents who we know build great cabins and have shared plans and techniques. I am sure they have some good ideas for you to get in the dry and warm before the Alaskan winter sets in. Also buy any quantity of prepper type food locally here before you get up there. Stuff like rice, dried stuff, anything that keeps. The prices up there are ridiculously high. Hope you have a good spare tire too and a tire plug repair kit. Looking forward to your videos too as you travel. Last question: Are you taking that cool cat with you?
Safe travels young man. Looking forward to seeing the process. Hopefully we will see you in church once you get to AK.
Best of luck on this new chapter in your life. Safe journey!
I'm sure your mom and dad trained you well on survival skills. Safe journey young fledgling 😊
At 25 I rode my bicycle from Edmonton, Alberta to Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. 5300 kms (3000 miles) in 53 days. Back then it was a walkman, I had lots of good tapes but I had the wrong batteries at first. Energizer lasted about 24 hrs, Duracell lasted nearly a week, my rechargeable about 6-8 hrs when charged. Slept in tents 6 days of the week, every 7th day we stayed in a hotel. Hardest part for a young man was the mentality of such a foreboding trip, the physical was a distant second. Part way through I figured out how to deal with that, like you said, set goals. One town at a time and one day at a time, enjoy the trip and do not worry about tomorrow or how much/far you have to go/do. You will remember this your entire life and will have great stories to tell.
"North! To Alaska, go north, the rush is on!"
I am eagerly anticipating the documentary of your adventure, Mick. I wish you Joy,Peace,Safety, and Success. I am on my own adventure at age 57; making a new life for myself. You have lit a fire under me and inspired me to persevere, despite my fears and uncertainty. God Bless! Safe Travels! 🔥💪🕊🙏
I feel like God guided me here
You left on my birthday !!!
Oh my lord thank you for this !!
YAY- Here we go! The “HOW” is pretty important! 😁 You do have a lot to accomplish this summer before winter hits. We are rooting for you, praying for you, and looking forward to enjoying your adventure!💙🙏🏽
Let your journeys begin,and ty for taking us along 👍😊...
4,142 miles from my house to Chitina, Alaska and I want to make the move one day myself. Congrats to you for being brave and thanks for documenting everything for the public.
Been following your parents for a few years, you appear to be the perfect combination of them both. You will do well in life and if you are happy, then you will achieve SUCCESS! Looking forward to all your future posts of work & adventure.
What is the name of their channel?
@@PrairieNightMoonyeah
@@PrairieNightMoon Not sure if you found the other channels but his moms channel is Girl in the woods, and his dads is Bushradical. Both fantastic!!
@@missyannp36 Thank you! I will look them up!
May 28! That was the exact date I left Australia for London this year. The biggest and scariest decision I’ve ever made, and also the best! Amazing to see someone my age doing the same kinda thing, going out of the comfort zone. All the best brother 🙏
This channel needs to explode. I’ve been fantasizing for years about moving to the mountains of either Wyoming or Montana and living in a small cabin away from society with my dog. My girlfriend and I are planning to move to wyoming in the next two years. You are walking down the path that others dream of. I can’t wait to follow in your footsteps soon with my move to wyoming. Keep up the good work man.
Hello Mick. I have been following your mon and dads channels for a long time. I spent 5 1/2 years at ft richardson in the early 70's and fell in love with alaska but my wife didn't share my feelings. I am looking forward to watching you struggle and grow as you build your homestead. Wishing you the best in the future.
Your wise beyond your years. I just discovered your channel and loving your content!
Wow great journey friend! Reminds me of Richard Proenneke who did this same thing at age 51 in the late 60s moving to remote Alaska building his cabin before winter and a lifetime of self sufficient wilderness conservation! Great success!!
So mature and exciting. Love that you are filming this journey 💗
What a lovely mix of your parents you are, yet your own spirit screams out. You, already, have more grit than most men. So proud to be "in" from the beginning of your journey. My son, now 40, has a similar interesting style of forming his letters. Self taught at a very young age. Gave my heart a little pang. Stay safe.
I just found his channel, who are his parents?
Good journey, mate!
I'm excited for you.
God bless you 💙
Thank you Jim, God bless 🙏
Ouch, this one hit home! Took me back to when I left home for the first time to do a snow work season, never returned. That was 21 years ago. The adventure and opportunities just kept rolling. Now I find myself on my own property that I built in Tasmania of all places!
I'm so stoked to be following on your adventures. Thanks for sharing 🤙
So it’s May 28, you are on the road driving toward Alaska with off grid homesteading in your plans. You are well tutored by your parents, it’s in your DNA! My prayers follow you!
I know that was a scary feeling. Like scared but excited at the same time. Go get em young man!
You started on your journey on my 55th birthday. I’m enjoying the chance to follow along on your quest. Prayers are going up for safe travels.
Wenter is coming sooner then you think be ready for anything and everything and you will be okay ❤️ Iam too old to do the same but i will just let you do it and i will watch you make your home . Thank you for taking us along with you 💞
The long and winding road leads you to your dreams. Enjoy the journey. I know
You shall be vigilant. Love you and praying for you, Mick.
Just started watching you videos. Yes FB market place makes me crazy as well! Thanks for the inspiration!
Omg you had me blarting at you saying goodbye!😂..I'm a sap honestly lol...
Let the journey begin 🚙, have a safe journey and keep us all updated on the long road trip to Alaska! Oh and most importantly..Ring your mum!! She will be worried daft about you,no matter how old,wise,ready, worldly or anything else,you are her baby boy 👌..ok now enjoy yourself Mick..looking forward for the next update 👍
Best of luck. I look forward to viewing your progress. Yes, thecabin needs to be built by Winter!
I got all teary at the end! I bet Brooke balled her eyes out! What an exciting emotional time. I like you, young man.
I look forward to going on this journey with you.
💗🙏👏👏👏
couple tears :)
@@therealgirlinthewoods ❤
Hug's 💕
truly inspiring… Got let go from a job i put 5 1/2 years in at and gave everything too.. Ive recently had an itch to not work for anyone but myself and really bet on myself. Appreciate your story and just living spontaneously.. Thats truly living.
Came because I follow your parents. Staying because I enjoy your style of story telling and intelligence.
Fortunately for you your followers started off larger and you didn't have to grow like most new RUclipsrs. Somewhat like the children of Hollywood stars who easily get into Hollywood because of their parents. Not saying it's a bad thing, it's just a thing.
Looking forward to your adventure and the cabin build. Best of luck 💕
A fur companion is definitely a goal to strive for - once you get settled in! The very best of luck - you’ve got the ‘genes’ for success.
5/28/2023. You’re driving to your future. May you have a safe journey to Alaska. I’m totally looking forward to seeing your property. Always keep that dry sense of humor. Stay safe Mick. Stay awesome!❤️
You know what Sunshine, Do what you love you only live once we only have one short life Go hard and strong I'm defiantly going to love watching you do it.
Go get um young man! Follow your dreams. Keep up the video's I did the same thing in the early 90s and wish I would have stayed there. I will go back again if it is the last thing I do.
Some would say I have travelled A LOT, I would say more than most for sure. I see a lot of me in you, you seem like me when I was younger. I always remembered what someone told me so many years ago and you already know this..."A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step"
Praying for you!! If I remember right, your Mom went on a journey to Alaska after high school too!! Thirst for adventure runs in your blood! Wishing you God's blessings and protection!!! Your parents are so strong to watch their son leave the nest to fly so far away. My son is just 2 so I can't fathom him growing up. Lol!
That was fun to watch! I love the Journal narration, and your humor! Can’t wait for the next episode.
You've got this, Mick ... Boondocking on your way to your own Alaskan Adventure! Every day, every road and every one you'll meet are unique. I can see you'll be in a hurry to get set up, just be sure to "soak" a little in the experience and enjoy it. We're rootin' for ya' ... we're all in this together :) Looking forward to anything you share here ... God Bless
I love how you simplify everything. I overthink and procrastinate and I wonder why nothing is hapopening for me
I can see your emotions on your face as you are leaving! The moment of sadness that turns to the future! Great video! Thanks for sharing. Wish I had known half of what you recommended here when I left Illinois in 1989 to come up here.
I love listening to you talk , you are very interesting. Anxious to see the progress in the months to come.👍🏻A BEAUTIFUL VIDEO.
You are a wise young man! Live your dream! We’ll live vicariously through you! Blessings ❤️
I don’t know how I found this channel but I’m invested, you and I are the same age and you’re doing exactly what I wish I was doing as I type this.
How exciting! Adventures are the best.
Desire is fine. Realistic contentment is better. Strive to prioritize realistic desire. Many people fail miserably bc they invest more than they should in what they WANT, rather than being grateful and content for what they have
Very interesting: you got me hook, line and sinker. A great adventure begins ...an unexpected journey
You are a beautiful person and have two of the best parents on earth.
So excited for you, wonderful tips (funny too! 😁)! Praying God's traveling mercies over you & looking forward to your next check-in! Thank you for sharing, God's speed! 🙏👏🧡
I watched your mom drive to Alaska last year, so this will be fun watching you too 🥰👍🚙
You have your Dad's knack for story telling. Going to be an interesting following....
Your parents did an amazing job raising you. Your definitely smart n will succeed. All the best in your new life
Pray and be safe, that everything will come out awesome 👌🙏
Praying you have a safe trip, hopefully you will meet helpful people in the miles ahead, mostly be safe !
You have youthful exuberance in your favour. You're lucky to have the skills your parents shared with you. Most of all,,,,,,,you are ready and willing to do this huge thing. Safe travels. Stay safe and keep well on the road. I look forward to travelling with you parts of the way.
I admire your courage to take on this life style. You will accomplish this.
One thing while it's in my head is get an extra axe handle before you get started. One bad hit will shut you down in the middle of nowhere. Big step, but you seem ready to make it. Thanks for taking us along.Peace from Michigan.
Enjoying your sense of humour & easy approach to the life
Hey kiddo!!!! I’ve been watching your parents on the tube for years. Hard to believe you have graduated & are on to the next phase in your life. Your parents have exposed you to so many different experiences. I’m sure they have taught you life skills that others would love to know. As a parent I’m sure they are super proud. Worried & scared for you…most definitely. As a parent we will always feel that way. Just became a subscriber. Can’t wait to be on this journey with you kiddo. PS…my kiddo is 21 & out on her own but I still worry about her. We reserve that right….we brought you kids into this world…..😂. Joking. Best wishes & looking forward to future videos. ❤. Remember the most important life lesson. Take your time, be smart & safe when working. 17yr ads as. Ff/EMT. You get ticked off or in a hurry & that’s when accidents happen. Be safe kiddo!!! Enjoy the journey.
Its great to see your channel. Can’t wait to see your adventures. You have a great voice, it needs to be heard. ❤praying for you!!!
After your first one, I saw your handle and thought "that names looks so familiar". I shared that video and said I hope you do very well with this. You learned an awesome lesson so much earlier in life than too many of us have. After watching this video, I read some of the comments and went back and looked at your handle again and was like "Noooo, it couldn't be..." Doing this at 18yo, you sure are radical and I'm loving it! Very cool, dude...
It's June 1, 2023 and I just found your channel. I hope your trip is going well. Wishing you the very best. Prayers for safety, continued good health and steady progress! 💜🙏
Three great reading recommendations for your journey are Homer's Odyssey, Cormac McCarthy's The Road, Wendell Berry's Jayber Crow. They are all very different, but will also be great mind companions and parallel various parts of your journey. Looking forward to seeing parts of your journey.
Best wishes on your journey! I am glad to be a part of it early on. The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war - all the best for the Winter!
I am Sooo proud of you! Guy's can learn how a real man your age, should live. Self-sufficient. Go forward, make it. I'm glad we get to share your journey, be careful, but God speed. Praying for you!
Your channel is going to go far!!! You have the best voice!! You are young and charismatic and smart! You are going to blow up and I wish you all the best and can’t wait for you to be monetized and make this dream of yours come true!! I will follow you on this journey cheering you on! And I know your parents are cheering too!! Keep it up kiddo you’re going to do great!
Godspeed Mick..You’ve got this, and I hope you’re enjoying the heck out of that playlist out on the open road! Have a great trip.:) 👍🙏🏼🚙
Good luck!! Remember, the hard days make you a stronger person. You will always learn something about yourself on the hard days. So excited to follow along on your journey!
I admire the constitution you have for following though with this... I've though about doing this multiple times throughout my life, but have always let the minor things detour me. The respect I have for you is immense, and I hope one day I'll meet you on the Alaskan frontier. God Bless.
Really GOoD Job, Mick! God Bless you! We'll be watching! Liz from Kemptville, Ontario, Canada. Much love and support.
I have always known that I will move up to Alaska I been nervous been going over my plans talking to as many people as I can about it but this video and this channel has to been the most helpful thing to see a really well documented first-hand account is so useful thank you
Have a safe and enjoyable journey - we'll be following along with you as you go - Thanks for sharing...
Safe travels...Will be following this exciting journey and wish you every success!
5/29/23. Praying for safe travels for you. I am looking forward to the next video. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
May God smile upon you all the way to your new home. I am excited and happy to see your adventure begin. You have the maturity and intelligence that will be demanded of you from this day forward. You will love every moment if you are the least bit like your parents.
"god"?? Grow up already.
@@Anonymous-wb3nz You have much to learn, Grasshopper. May God bless you on your journey.
I like your style kid! Safe travels.
