This has to be your best video yet. Take this from a retired film and doc director. You have surpassed yourself in the editing of this gem. The unsuspected reading of your chosen poet ripped my heart into pure joy. You are Hope to me. Thank you for your genuine talent and the will to be a better person. Thank you! (I'm acadian french, so don't bother with my mistakes).
I'm a woman over 60,with a body pretty well crippled up from my life experience. Watching you doing things like this renews my spirit from my younger days. Thank you ❤❤❤
@@sandimoo MS same. His videos take me away from my body, when I can’t. I deeply thank you Mick. 😘☮️🙏🎸. PS. Please! Get the PO Box!( yes it’s your TN grandma Again!!!)
In my 60's too. Been watching his parents for a few years. But moved solo to Alaska in 2016, traveled in RV from Va, by way of the Alaskan Hwy. ( Alcan) Its been a struggle, still is. But chronic pain , still arthritic joints, minus Temps, hand shoveling up to 14' of snow( last 3 winters) will not force me to leave. One life now, every minute that passes, is gone forever. Have realized, time will pass , productive or not, painful or not. Have to work until I can't, then live with alot of pain for a few days. Yesterday, spent 5 1/2 hours shoveling the new 7" wet/ heavy snow. Not done. 8 hours, 3 days ago for last snow. Call It my home gym! In summer, the gym is " getting ready for winter & a little gardening. Lol
Mick I absolutely loved this video. Love your voice and your readings. So inspirational!! Thank you. Please continue to share how you’re surviving during the winter months in your cabin. Great job again in this video!!
“”Artist Man in the Woods”” Yes you truly are and should use this great talent of reading poetry! We all would surly Love it in your surroundings. You’ve certainly proved yourself! Know this is True - May You Have a Wonderful Thanksgiving 🦃
Made this depressed 54-year-old mom (with a 19-year-old son) want to go out into the backwoods and build a shelter instead of feeling sorry for herself for being alone on Thanksgiving. She won't do it because she hates the cold, but it brought my spirits up watching you do it. Thanks for sharing your true self with us. Great work!
Thank you so much for taking us along on your adventure. And much gratitude for the poetry reading, that is so long ago and far away for this old Grandma. Loved it. Going to have to find me a Service book. Keep up the great work of bringing us back to basics.
Mick you have completely knocked this one out of the park. Truly wonderful over night with the reading fitting in perfectly. One qhestion. My wife and I would like to know if you are using any of you father or mother's music in your video. Again great video!
Mick! I always enjoy it when you read to us. Your voice holds my attention well. I believe you could earn a living doing voice-over work. You are a young man with a lot of talent in many areas. I encourage you to stretch out some and find your way in life. Keep on keeping on Mick, brightening the world for so many. I sure do appreciate you!
I too am a woman over 60 recovering from knee replacement, spent much of my youth hiking and backpacking, really enjoyed this however please don’t put yourself in any unsafe situations for us your audience. Enjoy your youth and we will enjoy watching what you do!
Warms my heart to know that you read Robert Service....try the Cremation of Sam McGee on Christmas Eve! It's a classic in our family and we take turns reading aloud. Great family tradition. Best to you and your family, from a mom in Wilmington NC
you are a wise young man! I am 77 watching you do things ,etc build you cabin this shelter, makes me feel that there is still so much good in the world...and it will go on in a different more positive and self reliance way!
Thank you Mick. Love getting to know you. From your first video to the next and the next... always pulled in by your voice, all the ways you tell a story. Magical, inspiring and relatable...(I am watching the views and thumbs up climb as I write this. So happy for you.)
Mick, that was amazing, I loved all of it! The poem reading and the Creator’s beautiful landscape was amazing!! Please do more of these! Happy Thanksgiving!❤️🙏🏻
WOW you started reading that poem and it stopped me in my tracks. What a beautiful poem and your reading was fabulous!! What a wonderful video. Keep up the great work, you're getting better every video. This is the best one so far.
You're so amazing! I saw this video and immediately went back to when your mama did this. I'm a Montanan and pretty savvy but I've learned SO much from her. Thrilled to see this type of video again. Keep up the hard work, it's been so fun watching you grow through these channels!
Hey Mick love the filming, reminds me of your mom when she did the same kind of adventure, why don’t you get yourself a dog for companionship, great video as usual take care.X💕🏴
I absolutely was craving this type video. I just loved it. Remembering Brooke building her debris shelters and reading Mary Oliver, you captured her spirit and you shine in your own life in nature. Again, this was awesome and thank you, thank you, thank you!
Mick, that poem was so beautiful, you have the perfect voice for reciting poems and stories. I have a pocket book of poems by Robert Burns that I keep and enjoy reading. I hope you do more of these kinds of videos. Seeing survival techniques and shelter building is always interesting to me. It's great that you are out there doing it, even coming into Alaskan winter! It's comforting to know there is somebody out there, of a similar age and mind set to me. I just wish you weren't an ocean away! Sending all my love from England, Baya xxx
Mick, great job the scenery is outstandingly beautiful. And I agree with others your voice is made for readings like that. It was awesome so thank you. Have a wonderful day and see you next time. Dee and Ace
That was incredible work, so beautiful! You really are an artist. I viewed this from the perspective of my recent camping trip and the freezing feeling that I had at 40 degrees overnight. I am embarrassed. Did I mention that I had a tent and space heater and didn’t sleep well with those conveniences? It pays to have your youth. Thank you for the inspiration and beauty.
This was an amazing surprise. I loved it . Was a little worried about you freezing to death but you managed just fine! The poem reading was awesome. You have so much talent wrapped up in that young body , mind and soul! Keep up the great content! Hugs to you! 💕🇺🇸💕
I just discovered Mick's channel. I enjoy listening to his winsome thoughts. Such a fine young man. He has learned survival strategies so early in life. I just admire his family so much. They are good people. ♥
Your voice was meant for professional narration. Beautiful video. Poem. I found your Mom's channel watching her shelter builds. Love you are following her North star. ❤
Love these shelter & fire building episodes! Miss watching your mom’s and was thrilled to see this pop up! ❤ PS. Bella’s coffee shop is da bomb! Great coffee & paninis! Your family is amazing.
Good morning Mick 🤗 what a brave thing to do - fire was nice 🔥 your poem was very nice - you have a voice for audio books 😉 thankful you're home safe 🙏 Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
You definitely have a great voice for audio books. I like to listen to you reading poetry. The only fault I can find in your little camp is how close the fire was to your shelter. It’s been a little over forty years since I was a Girl Scout, but we were advised to set up a fire ring that was a minimum five feet across
Always like your adventures. Steaks looked good, and all you needed. I would have made shelter longer and made a “cover” for opening. Poem amazing and appropriate for outdoor freezing camp. Love your adventurous mind. Chilled in Florida 43 🥶(😂).
Great inspiring video. The steak looked delicious too. Loved your reading of the poem. Your voice is like your Dads. Beautiful, soothing and could listen for hours. Remarkable build for short term sleeping. You’ve grown leaps and bounds and I’m so much looking forward to more. Maybe one day longer. Have peace and many blessings through this winter.
Beautiful video. Ty for sharing. Service is a favorite in our family. You said, "well that wasn't fun but not as bad as it could've been." Lol, oh my. From such a young fellow that enjoys old poetry. You are an enigma. Happy Thanksgiving!
My goodness! Hope you are staying warm! You are teaching a lot of youth on how to survive! Also love your mom and dad’s videos! Learned a lot on how to be independent and how to have confidence within! God bless! Enjoyed the book as well! Be safe and keep Our Lord within!❤
...the beauty of those mountains 💕.....and such a lovely poem, and reading. Thanks Mick, loved it! Wishing you and your family a very happy Thanksgiving.
The scenery shots during your reading of the poem were some of the best I’ve seen, almost makes an old man want to move to Alaska….almost. Keep up the great work Mick, like your Mom and Dad, your videos are always good to watch. ✌️😎
I really liked this video too. I have been following your whole family for several years now. This was beautiful with the poem read as your ahowed your beautiful adventures. Take this from a 62 year old lady, this bring us hope for your generation. I am driving across country by myself tomorrow. I will not be camping but itbis still an adventure.
WELL DONE MIC! How wonderful to simply be yourself and not try to follow trends or the 'established' habits of today's idols...yes, THIS is freedom and it is blessed when you 'recognize' the e 'One' who wants your freedom more than you do! I like your choices of background music in this vid and the poem was beautiful and very nicely read! Thanks for sharing with us...health an' blessings! :)
***😂 It was such a beautiful poem... The video of you and your friends, the beautiful scenery... Then you wake up in the morning and declare " that wasn't fun."😂😂😂😂. You cracked me the heck up! Too funny!****
Awesome reading of Robert Service! My favorite is still "The Cremation of Sam McGee" but this one is beautifully written too! Would you consider doing a reading of Sam McGee on another outing? Great vid, Mick!!! You're braver than most to sleep out with the grizzlies while cooking a steak. I hope you didn't get frostbite on your fingers and toes.😉😆
There is no cook like hunger. A cool and adventurous outing. Loved the poem. You rock with your creativity and wonderful editing. Thanks. Brought back good memories of a time a lived in a tent and ran a winter trapline.
do more videos like this building survival shelters of every sort with a beautiful poem in there somewhere it would be a lot of fun and I would watch every video no matter how long they are
This is my favorite video so far! I wish we lived closer to you. My 19 year old son wants to go winter camping but my mama heart can’t let him go on his own.
This has to be your best video yet. Take this from a retired film and doc director. You have surpassed yourself in the editing of this gem. The unsuspected reading of your chosen poet ripped my heart into pure joy. You are Hope to me. Thank you for your genuine talent and the will to be a better person. Thank you! (I'm acadian french, so don't bother with my mistakes).
Amen to that! As I commented above, somebody needs to hire this fine fellow, talent begging to be tapped and cultivated.
@bsekisser that's what I've been saying!
I couldn’t say it any better. Totally loved this one. The flow is perfect.
WOW❤Best ever video.
(I'm acadian french, so don't bother with my mistakes)........🤭🌹🌹
The Poem with your voice over & the mountainous video was beautiful.
I loved it.♥️
it was .. from a service high school grad (named after robert service) .. 😊
Me too!❤
This is the best video you've done so far... no making excuses, no apologies, no complaining...just beauty and showing your abilities... loved it!
Mick, this was so wonderful, and your reading brought tears. Thank you for following your dream!! And for sharing it with us. 🙌🙏
I loved the simplicity of this video….building a shelter, eating a meal outdoors and reading poetry. Great, thanks
Beginning the poem in the shelter and ending in the shelter..Wow! Flawless!! Thoroughly enjoyed! Thank you so much for sharing.
You are an amazing young man. You do your momma and daddy proud!
I'm a woman over 60,with a body pretty well crippled up from my life experience. Watching you doing things like this renews my spirit from my younger days. Thank you ❤❤❤

Well done. Loved the poem. Your voice is made for readings like that! Hope fingers and toes warmed up quickly! Happy Thanksgiving.
I agree! I bet Mick could get some remote voiceover work to supplement the building and living find in the future if he wanted! @bettingonalaska
Great video. The poem was totally appropriate for this setting in the Creator’s vast wilderness.
These excursions are a nice touch to your channel!
Thank you so much for taking us along on your adventure. And much gratitude for the poetry reading, that is so long ago and far away for this old Grandma. Loved it. Going to have to find me a Service book.
Keep up the great work of bringing us back to basics.
Mick you have completely knocked this one out of the park. Truly wonderful over night with the reading fitting in perfectly. One qhestion. My wife and I would like to know if you are using any of you father or mother's music in your video. Again great video!
Oh my.....dear Mick, this was a beautiful video. You REALLY have the "voice" . This made a old 65 year old woman of God tear up. Thnx so much!
I am a 65-year young woman still hiking and inspired to get outside as Brooke says! Moved by his reading too!
Bless you young man. Your heart is pure, your soul soars. Wish I could do it your way, 75 years late.
Mick! I always enjoy it when you read to us. Your voice holds my attention well. I believe you could earn a living doing voice-over work.
You are a young man with a lot of talent in many areas. I encourage you to stretch out some and find your way in life.
Keep on keeping on Mick, brightening the world for so many. I sure do appreciate you!
Robert Service is smiling~ Surely, he must be.
@richardmourdock2719 I completely agree!
I too am a woman over 60 recovering from knee replacement, spent much of my youth hiking and backpacking, really enjoyed this however please don’t put yourself in any unsafe situations for us your audience. Enjoy your youth and we will enjoy watching what you do!

Mick! By far your best work in my humble opinion ❤
I agree….😍
They’re ALL GREAT!!

I believe he did exactly that this past Christmas Eve….
Funny you should mention that… he read that exact poem in an earlier video.
you are a wise young man! I am 77 watching you do things ,etc build you cabin this shelter, makes me feel that there is still so much good in the world...and it will go on in a different more positive and self reliance way!

What an amazing fantastic video very great
Heck yeah man! Can’t wait for our next adventure!!
So well organised, Mick. You ate more meat than I eat in two months! Been watching more of your Mum`s videos.
There is no cook like hunger. A cool and adventurous outing. Loved the poem. You rock with your creativity and wonderful editing. Thanks. Brought back good memories of a time a lived in a tent and ran a winter trapline.
My favourite video of yours yet! I will return to listen to the poem and enjoy the snowy camping when I get lonely.
Love from South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤
do more videos like this building survival shelters of every sort with a beautiful poem in there somewhere it would be a lot of fun and I would watch every video no matter how long they are
Beautiful! I do think you need to ask your mom for a Burch bark bag for Christmas.🥰
Mother Nature's beauty is unmatched ❤
This is my favorite video so far! I wish we lived closer to you. My 19 year old son wants to go winter camping but my mama heart can’t let him go on his own.
