Your channel has been a highlight for me. I love the content and the way you both present it. There has to be an attorney out there that will help. I hope we can come together as a maker community and figure this out. Please keep doing the right thing and keep yourselves safe.
Congrats on completing the trail. The two of you together is more than what most people have, to me, that's everything. Stay strong. Keep moving forward.
Wow. I can imagine the bitterness and resentment built up about this. Unfortunately, as you said, this story is just one of many examples of how the system REALLY works. Survive. They want us to feel alone and isolated. Believe that there are many others out here that see it. Keep going
Good luck to you guys. Hopefully it'll all work out in the end. Anyone who would judge you badly for growing something that shouldn't be illegal to begin with are truly ignorant.
Dude we are on your side! major changes need to take place on this earth. That kind of madness happens up here in Canada as well. Don't forget fear is the mind killer. I am sure most folks on this side of the camera have a bunch of LOVE for you! A big paradigm shift is on the way.
I have enjoyed all of your videos and proudly own a few of your spoons, ladles and spatulas….each and everyone a masterpiece. Be true, be proud and follow your hearts which when united are an unstoppable force. All my best to you two.
Man I've missed you guys...lost my kid brother to lymphoma. I offered to grow for him, but he didn't want me to take the chance of being caught. Later the cancer clinic told him if he tested positive for cannabis one time he would never be able to participate in any trial treatments ever again.He died 18 mts later I miss that little shithead so bad some days.......you have touched so many lives on this channel and are such a positive influence on all of us can't imagine this being the end...no judgement just love and Hope good luck my friends....RMB
Good luck to you guys. I left the United States about nine years ago because I thought the government was too involved in my life. Now I live in a small village in a small country. Strange how I have found happiness in such a faraway place but I have. My advice to you is face the charges get it over with. If you can find a way the plea and get some probation it will be over sooner than you think. Those same FBI AGENTS WITH GUNS, that raided your home will find you one day. It will probably be sooner than later, You or your wife could be hurt don't let that happen, don't put your family and yourself in harms way.
Just yesterday it occured to me that you two hadn’t posted a video for eons. I hadn’t thought about you and your channel for a few months due to a huge transition in my own life. Of all the "RUclipsrs" I follow, I am most excited when I see a new video from you. The footage from the Appalachian trail experience is awesome and inspiring. I hope and pray that the path you carve for yourselves from here is a fruitful path. Take good care.
We love you guys. You are so very brave to post this and to talk about what needs to be said. I hope this rings bells to someone who might be able to help you. You guys deserve the world. You are good people. You are not who those gunmen should be going after. You are not a criminal. You are a voice of so many who need to be heard ❤️
I so appreciate that you took the time to share your history and current situation with us. I have always looked up to you two as examples of how a community should be built. I have learned a lot today after watching your update. My heart is torn with concern for your situation. It seems that the good guys are always punished by those that have evil in their hearts. Please know that you have thousands of people that are here for you. If you find yourself in a position where you cannot build from, please reach out to us (or me) and we would gladly be there for you two. Please keep sharing with us from time to time so that we know you are ok. Best wishes from my heart!
Since I've started watching your videos a while ago I've always wondered about your story. Thank you for sharing that, it took a lot of strength to do that. I admire your lifestyles and your willingness to help and educate so many. You have made an impact in my life being able to watch your videos, as well as countless others as you mentioned. It is absurd how the government can be. They use force at all times and have no thoughts about cost. I am so very sorry for all the loss and heartache you have been though. It is devastating hearing about all the turmoil you've experienced. I do hope that in some way there is light at the end of the tunnel, and I do believe you will get there. If you can, please keep uploading videos or updates. I as well as others I'm sure would love to know what else is happening and how we can help. Please do not give up hope. You both are beautiful people and have done beautiful things. Thank you for all of your wonderful videos and information, teaching and advice, as well as your love that has graced your RUclips audience, communities all over, and people all over. May you find blessings
Best videos on RUclips! I have been looking for more of your content cause I was hoping to buy a couple of your bowl adzes. But that is obviously way on the back burner for a while. I appreciate you sharing your story. I can only imagine how hard it must of been to not only go through that, but to relive it through telling it. No judgements here, just more respect, and I’ll be praying for you both. God Bless you
Much love to both of you for sharing your journey, knowledge and experiences. It's always a bright point in my day getting to come along with you. I'm so sorry for everything you've been through, and continue to do so. Just for the record, if you can make it, you'd be so very welcome in Canada. Hope all is well for you wherever you end up.
Lots of love! Wherever you go and whatever you do i know you will find a way to inspire people whether it is about crafting or medicin. This video alone is a big statement. Stay strong.
Congrats on hiking the entire Appl Trail. Stay strong and walk tall my friends. We love you. Have you considered asking VA Gov Youngkin for a pardon. You clearly deserve one, and I’ll happily provide a strong reference for you. You both are amazing teachers, extraordinary human beings and rare community assets. I can’t wait to read your book about your life complete with illustrations. It would make a best seller and a great movie.
Subscribed. Stay strong Brother! Both of you are beautiful souls and we, as a people, would benefit from more like yourselves in this senseless society we live in. What a shame it is when the true meaning of life and willingness of an individual to help others is misunderstood and an attempt to extinguish that very precious commodity of fellowship is reduced to a show of force by the will of ignorance on individuals that are simply, carving a path. I patiently await your next video in the hopes of good news as well as a new beginning. May your dreams come true.
Fellow Precision 18 sailor here... We've enjoyed each other's videos. You two seem like really nice, down to earth, caring people, but I'm troubled by your current state. As there's no hiding these days, please do the right thing for your mate, your children, and yourself. A good lawyer will get you through this. Yes, it may take a bit, but soon enough life will return to normal and you'll be back to producing insightful videos.
Love your videos and your way of teaching!! Really hope you will find a good solution to the situation you’re in and the you will be able to post more amazing videos on youtube. Wish you all the best🙏🏻
Really sorry you’re experiencing this. I believe the universe will see you through this. Thank you for posting such a personal side of your lives. Good people do prevail ❤
There are two kinds of people, those who see what is happening to our freedoms (what is left of them) and those who are complicit in the erosion of our freedoms.
lol gee let me guess: the heroes who love freedom are conservatives (who made cannabis illegal in the first place and have zealously fought to keep it illegal every since, and who without exception are the ones still kicking down doors to enforce prohibition in the backwards red states), and the tyrant freedom-haters are people like Joe Biden who is pushing for federal decriminalization, and me and my big city librul friends who can walk down the street and buy a joint at a store whenever we want because we peacefully and democratically changed our local laws. Funny what we can allow ourselves to be convinced of.
hey its coco im glad to hear from you guys again. Glad you guys were able to take a social break. Seems like i was meant to watch this .Zeyin was recently diagnose with testicular cancer. It was a relief to hear some hopeful story.
My heart weeps as you tell your story.You two are an inspiration.More now than ever!Your right,unbelievable times we live in.But I know you’ll be okay.You’ve got each other,that’s more than some can say,so you’ve done it before,you’ll do it again,Keep carving a path.😊
Argh, that is all so terrible. I was worried when you disappeared for so long. You are both hugely talented at so many things, filmmaking included - I have loved all your videos very much. I wish I could help somehow. I hope you can find somewhere to go for now, and can get the charges dismissed somehow so you can go back to your homestead. You guys are awesome. Sending love from Australia.
I hope that your time hiking the trail has been astounding. And am sorry that life / society / the system has given you a very hard time. While periods of transition can be scary and unsettling, I have no doubt that where ever you land you will succeed and thrive. Bringing jpy to those around you. The only judgement I have for and about you is wholly positive. I will keep you in my prayers
I love your channel! You need to talk to an attorney and find out what your options are. You cant live your life running for ever it will eat you alive. You need to clean this mess so you can go on with your lives. My thoughts and love go to you both I homestead in AR too and see ignorant justice but you must clean this up you cant be wanted for the rest of your life. Contact a good lawyer. You have a good woman at your side and thats a start.
I don’t know how, or why I was not notified of this video, I have checked often for the little dot that indicates a new one video. I came on to wish you two a Happy Thanksgiving, which may not be the case, unfortunately. I believe in and support what you have done for the community. And appreciate all the joy you have brought to my life. I hope there is someway I can settle up with you. Much love to you both.❤️
I just walked in from the hospital where my wife is slowly dying from cancer. (so I haven't seen your video until now). 12 days ago a tumor in her spine shifted and compressed her spine. She underwent emergency surgery, but recovery to walk again seems slim. When she was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic disease, she was given 3-6 months. That was 18 years ago! She has benefited from modern immuno-chemotherapy and high tech radiation. I respect your efforts to help others who might not be so lucky.❤ I also spoon carve and have been thinking about you and your tool tote. I was delighted to see you had a new video and it was at the top of my feed. But, after watching, I'm so sorry to hear about your predicament. I have learned so much from your channel. Thank you. This is just a detour in your Path. Tashi-delek.
I am so sorry about your son!! It is very upsetting the way the law looks at things!! I think both of you are wonderful people and have a lot of wonderful things to continue sharing!! Keep y'all heads up!! I am praying for yall!! Stay safe and strong!! Look forward to the next video when ever it may come!! Love yall!!
I found your channel from the review of the holzfforma chainsaw. This is the next video I watched and I’m blown away. I was hooked to every word. Good luck for the future. You deserve peace and happiness.
I just stumbled upon your videos while learning about woodworking and eagerly went to your Etsy page thinking I could purchase one of your awesome bowls. Did not expect to be led to the :( You were given such a raw deal. I wish all the best for you and your family. Thanks so much for sharing your story.
I was only just thinking a couple of days ago of how I stumbled upon your channel, a holzforma chainsaw review. And ever since I have been truly humbled by you, how you have let me into your world with trusting arms. I send power to you my brother ✊ on your journey! The same of that which the hatchet bury into the wood to make a bowl
I have volunteered with the Muscular Dystrophy Association. I can assure you that you aren't the only parent who would do anything for their child with one of these horrible diseases. I hope that this all blows over and we have you guys back on the homestead before long.
I support all you have both stood for since I first began following your channel.. I'm glad you two are alright and healthy.. I wish I could make all your troubles go away..
A sad story, I am sad for the loss of your child and all that you both have been through. May God create your next path to be a blessed one. Hang in there and hope to hear from you on another video.
Just found your channel yesterday and already I feel like I know you. I work as a chaplain for a hospice agency and understand what you are trying to do. Stay strong and please know there are a lot of folks out here who support what you are doing. Don't let the negatives get you down! God Bless!
I have missed u guys channel . Just now found this video explaining the scenario of your life . My best for you both. And the strength to seek clarity, not for yourself but for those that depend on you . And that love you . Peace to u both . Grace to seek and grit to stand and to know when its time to sit . ✨️
In many states like NY and CA you could commit felony robbery with little risk of going to jail. You might get booked, but you would be out on no cash bail waiting for a prosecutor to reduce your charge to a misdemeanor.
No judgement here, my partner is a survivor too and needs it to treat the after effects of radiotherapy, I appreciate you and your content I hope to see more in the future
Only just found your channel in the last month or so. Love what you do and you're an inspiration to everyone connected. Is there anything we can do to help keep you going? From the comments I see posted here there is more than enough love and concern to help you through - if we only knew what form that help would take and how to provide it. Please let us know somehow, we're all pulling for you!!!
I had a great injustice happen to me so I can relate. No judgement is being passed here, only love and prayers. I pray that the Lord leads you out of this mess safely. The best advice I can give is to get it resolved for the sake of your kids, family and yourself. I know you're fighting for the cause but as you mentioned, it's already been overturned in these states. Now the attack on you is a senseless prosecution on an old law. Do what you feel is best, but from my experience is that it likely isn't going away so you need to deal with it. Get a good defence lawyer and get serious about facing it because it's only a matter of time anyway. I'll be praying for you.
Sheesh, today I tried to find your etsy store in order to see if I could buy an adze from you. Didn't find the store, checked your RUclips page and only then saw this video. Wow, what a series of blows you had and have to face. I wish you all the strength in the world! Never loose hope and however hard it may seem, you will find a way. My heart goes out to you. Best, jochen
congrats on your at hike through! it's a great accomplishment! 👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼 and a heartfelt condolence about your son and the tragedies you have experienced! you will be in my thoughts and prayers! GOD bless... 🙏🏼🕊
I am happy you are still walking and breathing! All I gotta say is wow, hard to believe, total insanity. I hope some way you can get with a good lawyer who can help sort this all out, so you don't need to be on the run.
Sorry to hear of your situation, I have enjoyed you sharing your skills with us. I speak for myself that in my younger days I had done some things that not really proud of. I don’t really know but this seems like a small thing and if you could somehow get this behind you you would not have to look over your shoulder all the time. It truly is a freedom to not have to look over your shoulder. May God give you wisdom in moving forward. He has the last word.
I have always been impressed with your ability to communicate ideas and how respectfully you do so. This video is no exception. I wish I had the bravery and commitment it must have taken to video this and post it. I now better understand how your backstory has shaped the person we see in these videos. Persevere! Thank you for updating those of us who follow and appreciate your work and your words. Your experiences, past and present, have entertained and informed me. Your ability to teach and present is awesome and fun to see. And your caring approach to the world and your community is to be commended. You may have lost access to your family land and your worldly possessions, but you have all the things I just mentioned inside you and can use them to move on. You are your most valuable tool and you still have the means and the intention to move forward. Other commenters have mentioned that continuing to check in electronically by posting videos or using social media may put you at additional risk so please consider that and be careful moving forward. I will miss your postings and your shared wisdom if you go dark, but I will know it is for good reason. Stay safe my friend and thank you for all you have shared with us.
I've been waiting for your next video. thinking, wondering how things are. Hope you continue to do what you believe is your part in this life. take care. I'll be waiting for another video
Had to go back and rewatch this. Y’all are cool as hell. I hope that y’all can be happy in whatever you decide with your life. I wish y’all the best. I wish y’all still made those adze. I would love to have one. Good luck guys
Wish y’all the best of luck! I have always looked forward to seeing the next video y’all would make! I would look and look all the time for it..!!! I especially liked the sharpening video-very, very helpful to me..!!! I sure hope y’all can resolve the situation in a peaceful way! Not only for y’all’s sake, but for others that you all have touched and will touch in the future! I can see that you have a very sensitive heart-and that is good because it shows that you care..!! Turn it all over to Jesus, our Lord and our Savior--time is short..!!!
Sure glad you both are fine youv had your share of touble want to say if you in Maine please stop by love to meet you two . Hope thing work out for you some times there's trials befor thing come to the good stay safe hope to see more of you both .
Hey brother, I’ve been watching your channel for a while now and I believe this is the first comment I’ve ever even made on RUclips; despite my account being probably 10 years old at this point. What happened to you and your family is absolutely horrific, it’s hard to believe that there is still so much cruelty institutionally in what is supposed to be the greatest country in the world. Best of luck and I hope you can find true peace without fear of the state at some point in your future. Thank you for the content, safe travels!
Mind blowing is all I can say. Sorry to here all the bullshit you guys are going through. I haven’t said much on your channel but eagerly wait and watch your videos. I like so many others love your approach and style/knowledge you offer and really appreciate it. I know it could sound weird but I’m not sure if you’re still in Maine upon Katahdin but I live in Maine and you guys are welcome to come here if you so choose contact me if you have any interest if not safe travels I wish the best for you both.
You guys are incredible people, its heart breaking what you faced while trying to help others. Happy to head you had a great hike. Thank you for sharing your story, it wasn't too long, it was perfect. We never know the miles people walk until they tell us, and by hearing your story makes me appreciate you both more. How you share snippets of your lives, nuggets of wisdom, are true gems. Thank you. Thank you for being genuine. Thank you for sharing this story so we can understand you a bit more, and appreciate you both even more.
It is good to hear from you again. Your videos about carving and smithing have made a positive difference in my life, and other lives too. Your humor and philosophy of quality and efficiency in your craftsmanship makes your videos unique. Thank you! I hope and trust that you will be able to abide and stay productive until your situation with the government idiots is resolved. You are only too right in your analysis of the effects of bad law enforcement on people's respect for government. Exposing and talking about the problem may be expected to have at least some positive effect in moving people to shift their butts to the voting booth. Thanks again and good luck.
*HUG* I'm so sorry for everything you and your family/community had to endure! My dad died of cancer and when my Mom got it she decided to try cannabis but died in Hospice before we could get her license approved :'( It just ain't right!
That's unreal. Totally no judgement at all from me in New Zealand. Best of luck to you both. Stay positive and things will eventually work out some way or another. Perhaps you could set up a go fund me or something or is there anyway people, your viewers the ones that wanted could donate a little to help? Even if it's just a little here and there from a few it will all add up, it may help you till you gather what you will do and get on your feet again. I'd be glad to try help you both as you seem like great people who have just had some bad luck. Sometimes we all need a little help sometimes in life and I'm sure many would like to try and help. I don't have huge amounts money to donate but I certainly have a very small amount and would be really happy to try help you in your situation. Good luck
I've missed watching your videos. No matter what happens just hold your head up and keep pushing forward. Put it into God's hands and it will work out the way it's suppose to. Take care and GOD BLESS 🙏!
Please Please please!! Do not give up!! You are a shining light in my life... and I'm sure in the lives of countless others!! I am going through an have been going through similar issues... I was very sick for over 4 years and I am now up and going again for 2 because of the ignorance your talking about in Southern miss. But you give me hope...
I just found your channel, great content! So I'm new to your back story, but I can tell you guys are in a bad way. I don't know if you are religious but I'll be praying for you guys. God bless you. P.S. I was diagnosed with Colon Cancer last year, so i understand what your brother was going through. Thank you all you help fighting cancer. May God return that mercy upon you. God Bless you and yours 🙏✝️
I hope you can find happiness together and fulfill your destiny to help wherever you can. It's a scary world we live in today in so many ways. It's unimaginable that a country like this can be so messed up. Greed, lies and corruption. I am sure I'm one of thousands who have enjoyed your video's I learned and rewatched several of them. Thank you. May spirit guide you on your new path.
I lost my mother to cancer and my wife lost most of her 30s to stage 4 NHL. the post chemo state is a state of constant pain and neuropathy. we discussed cannabis use to help ease here symptoms but even though medical marijuanna is legal in out state, she would then fail drug tests, be unemployable, and be critically condemned in several parts of the community in the fallout. None of this has made any sense, and the US justice system is not exactly functional in the proper sense of the term, in fact this sort of thing happens far more often than it should. I am hoping ya ll find a good place to land after all this and can get back to making a good impact where ever you go!
Hard work, decency and altruism are sadly not incentivised in today’s society. Just look at how the authorities are currently persecuting a number of Amish Food Producers.
I hope you can resolve this without any hardship to you and your family and community. I’m sure there is a lawyer that would be willing to help you work through this. I wish you the best and hope you can do what you love again. Helping people. ✌🏻💛
Well, I was wondering what has happen to you... I've been thinking about you lately, hoping you'd post another video. I'm enjoy your spoon; it sits proudly in the bowl next to the stove. I'm sorry to hear your story, but honestly i thought it must be something along those lines. I once hiked the AT too, but that was in another life (before my accident). I wish you could return to the homestead, but I understand how difficult life can be. I'm proud of you and think of you guys as family too. Best of luck to you guys and remember, I'm here, like so many others, to support you in any way you need. Send me a new video soon... Miss you.
Man I wish I would’ve seen this video a year ago when it was originally uploaded. I would’ve said ya’ll can come live on my property (an offer that still stands btw). I hope things have worked out for you. I would like to help in any way I can. Feel free to reach out anytime. I really love your videos and I’ve learned a lot. Thanks for all you guys do. Congrats on finishing the trail.
Good Luck I wish you two all the very best, and may God Bless you Both and I will be praying for you . Thankyou so much for all you have taught me Thankyou Very Much
I'm one of the few in my generation (born 1956) and have personally NEVER used drugs, smoked weed, etc. I don't smoke, barely drink, and despise recreational drug use. However, I'm now convinced that the "War on Drugs" has been used as a way to slowly destroy individual liberty in the U.S., in conjunction with "gun control", "Homeland Security" and etc. I'm 100% "Jeffersonian Libertarian" in my political thinking, and believe that everyone has the inalienable right to use ANY method for personal health and preventative medicine, whether that is vitamins, minerals, herbs, cannabis, etc. I'm guessing that the FDA (and the medical establishment) is feeling threatened that their "cash cow" scam of high dollar Chemo treatment to "cure cancer" is a house of cards about to fall, so that is why you, and many others are being targeted. There is also valid research showing that extended fasting stops cancer in its tracks, and I'm aware of several nutritionists, Chiropractors, holistic medical practitioners, etc advising alternative natural cancer treatments, who have been SWAT raided and threatened with criminal prosecution. We have an extremely corrupt system that needs to change. The EVIL of the FBI, ATF, FDA, CIA, TSA, IRS etc all need to be dissolved, and about 95% of Federal Employees fired, and the Federal Government reduced dramatically in size. Best wishes and God Bless you in showing you the path away from the Evil pursuing you.
yo if you despise recreational drug use why do you barely drink instead of not drink at all? you know alcohol is hard drugs and kills many people. I prefer the healthier alternative 🍃
I love the silent backup singer😆🙏 Y'all are super cool! Been watching your channel. Live free fam. So sorry you had to go through that. Its a fuck of a time we're living in. Or slaving in.
Wow can't believe I am three days late seeing this from you guys. I am ignorant of the law and anything dealing with cannabis from growing it to any other part so nothing to add there except my best wishes for the two of you. I actually just kinda figured you had went back to the boating life and turned pirate with a chicken in a little rocking cage. I am not one for intruding into anyone's privacy but it was pretty easy to pin point your location within a few miles back from your date night at the roller rink video. I enjoyed your video's and both you guys are incredibly talented. You are also correct the way thing are headed these days into craziness, might not be long before you won't be on any LEO radar anyway if you find an out of the way spot and keep your head down. If you ever wish to get a hold of me just let me know and we can work out the details. Either way best of luck and I hope everything works out for you guys.
Your channel has been a highlight for me. I love the content and the way you both present it. There has to be an attorney out there that will help. I hope we can come together as a maker community and figure this out. Please keep doing the right thing and keep yourselves safe.
Congrats on completing the trail. The two of you together is more than what most people have, to me, that's everything. Stay strong. Keep moving forward.
Wow. I can imagine the bitterness and resentment built up about this. Unfortunately, as you said, this story is just one of many examples of how the system REALLY works. Survive. They want us to feel alone and isolated. Believe that there are many others out here that see it. Keep going
Good luck to you guys. Hopefully it'll all work out in the end.
Anyone who would judge you badly for growing something that shouldn't be illegal to begin with are truly ignorant.
Dude we are on your side! major changes need to take place on this earth. That kind of madness happens up here in Canada as well. Don't forget fear is the mind killer. I am sure most folks on this side of the camera have a bunch of LOVE for you! A big paradigm shift is on the way.
I have enjoyed all of your videos and proudly own a few of your spoons, ladles and spatulas….each and everyone a masterpiece. Be true, be proud and follow your hearts which when united are an unstoppable force. All my best to you two.
Man I've missed you guys...lost my kid brother to lymphoma. I offered to grow for him, but he didn't want me to take the chance of being caught. Later the cancer clinic told him if he tested positive for cannabis one time he would never be able to participate in any trial treatments ever again.He died 18 mts later I miss that little shithead so bad some days.......you have touched so many lives on this channel and are such a positive influence on all of us can't imagine this being the end...no judgement just love and Hope good luck my friends....RMB
My grandfather died of lymphoma as well. I think of him daily.
Good luck to you guys. I left the United States about nine years ago because I thought the government was too involved in my life. Now I live in a small village in a small country. Strange how I have found happiness in such a faraway place but I have. My advice to you is face the charges get it over with. If you can find a way the plea and get some probation it will be over sooner than you think. Those same FBI AGENTS WITH GUNS, that raided your home will find you one day. It will probably be sooner than later, You or your wife could be hurt don't let that happen, don't put your family and yourself in harms way.

May you find blessings
Best videos on RUclips!
I have been looking for more of your content cause I was hoping to buy a couple of your bowl adzes.
But that is obviously way on the back burner for a while.
I appreciate you sharing your story. I can only imagine how hard it must of been to not only go through that, but to relive it through telling it. No judgements here, just more respect, and I’ll be praying for you both.
God Bless you
Keep us up to date please..
Glad to see your still alive and well.
Peace to you and yours..
Missed y'all . I agree with you , it is a crime against our freedom to not be able to provide for our own needs . Be strong , be safe and be free !
Much love to both of you for sharing your journey, knowledge and experiences. It's always a bright point in my day getting to come along with you. I'm so sorry for everything you've been through, and continue to do so. Just for the record, if you can make it, you'd be so very welcome in Canada. Hope all is well for you wherever you end up.
What is the relationship between these to? I’m confused just recently started watching the channel so haven’t seen all vids yet. Thanks
She's not his wife, but is clearly a romantic partner. In his latest video she seems to be pregnant.
Lots of love! Wherever you go and whatever you do i know you will find a way to inspire people whether it is about crafting or medicin. This video alone is a big statement. Stay strong.
Congrats on hiking the entire Appl Trail. Stay strong and walk tall my friends. We love you. Have you considered asking VA Gov Youngkin for a pardon. You clearly deserve one, and I’ll happily provide a strong reference for you. You both are amazing teachers, extraordinary human beings and rare community assets. I can’t wait to read your book about your life complete with illustrations. It would make a best seller and a great movie.

Stay strong Brother!
Both of you are beautiful souls and we, as a people, would benefit from more like yourselves in this senseless society we live in.
What a shame it is when the true meaning of life and willingness of an individual to help others is misunderstood and an attempt to extinguish that very precious commodity of fellowship is reduced to a show of force by the will of ignorance on individuals that are simply, carving a path.
I patiently await your next video in the hopes of good news as well as a new beginning.
May your dreams come true.
Fellow Precision 18 sailor here... We've enjoyed each other's videos. You two seem like really nice, down to earth, caring people, but I'm troubled by your current state. As there's no hiding these days, please do the right thing for your mate, your children, and yourself. A good lawyer will get you through this. Yes, it may take a bit, but soon enough life will return to normal and you'll be back to producing insightful videos.
Love your videos and your way of teaching!! Really hope you will find a good solution to the situation you’re in and the you will be able to post more amazing videos on youtube. Wish you all the best🙏🏻
Really sorry you’re experiencing this. I believe the universe will see you through this.
Thank you for posting such a personal side of your lives.
Good people do prevail ❤
There are two kinds of people, those who see what is happening to our freedoms (what is left of them) and those who are complicit in the erosion of our freedoms.
lol gee let me guess: the heroes who love freedom are conservatives (who made cannabis illegal in the first place and have zealously fought to keep it illegal every since, and who without exception are the ones still kicking down doors to enforce prohibition in the backwards red states), and the tyrant freedom-haters are people like Joe Biden who is pushing for federal decriminalization, and me and my big city librul friends who can walk down the street and buy a joint at a store whenever we want because we peacefully and democratically changed our local laws. Funny what we can allow ourselves to be convinced of.
thank you, very brave of you to share your story. it does answer a few questions! :) good luck and best wishes to you both. 🖖
hey its coco im glad to hear from you guys again. Glad you guys were able to take a social break. Seems like i was meant to watch this .Zeyin was recently diagnose with testicular cancer. It was a relief to hear some hopeful story.
My heart weeps as you tell your story.You two are an inspiration.More now than ever!Your right,unbelievable times we live in.But I know you’ll be okay.You’ve got each other,that’s more than some can say,so you’ve done it before,you’ll do it again,Keep carving a path.😊
Argh, that is all so terrible. I was worried when you disappeared for so long. You are both hugely talented at so many things, filmmaking included - I have loved all your videos very much. I wish I could help somehow. I hope you can find somewhere to go for now, and can get the charges dismissed somehow so you can go back to your homestead. You guys are awesome. Sending love from Australia.
I hope that your time hiking the trail has been astounding. And am sorry that life / society / the system has given you a very hard time. While periods of transition can be scary and unsettling, I have no doubt that where ever you land you will succeed and thrive. Bringing jpy to those around you.
The only judgement I have for and about you is wholly positive. I will keep you in my prayers
I love your channel! You need to talk to an attorney and find out what your options are. You cant live your life running for ever it will eat you alive. You need to clean this mess so you can go on with your lives.
My thoughts and love go to you both I homestead in AR too and see ignorant justice but you must clean this up you cant be wanted for the rest of your life. Contact a good lawyer. You have a good woman at your side and thats a start.
I don’t know how, or why I was not notified of this video, I have checked often for the little dot that indicates a new one video. I came on to wish you two a Happy Thanksgiving, which may not be the case, unfortunately. I believe in and support what you have done for the community. And appreciate all the joy you have brought to my life. I hope there is someway I can settle up with you. Much love to you both.❤️
I just walked in from the hospital where my wife is slowly dying from cancer. (so I haven't seen your video until now). 12 days ago a tumor in her spine shifted and compressed her spine. She underwent emergency surgery, but recovery to walk again seems slim. When she was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic disease, she was given 3-6 months. That was 18 years ago! She has benefited from modern immuno-chemotherapy and high tech radiation. I respect your efforts to help others who might not be so lucky.❤ I also spoon carve and have been thinking about you and your tool tote. I was delighted to see you had a new video and it was at the top of my feed. But, after watching, I'm so sorry to hear about your predicament. I have learned so much from your channel. Thank you. This is just a detour in your Path. Tashi-delek.
Keep up the good work and may God keep an eye on you in your travels
Keep going guys. The world needs more people like you. Stay strong. Love from the UK.
I am so sorry about your son!! It is very upsetting the way the law looks at things!! I think both of you are wonderful people and have a lot of wonderful things to continue sharing!! Keep y'all heads up!! I am praying for yall!! Stay safe and strong!! Look forward to the next video when ever it may come!! Love yall!!
I found your channel from the review of the holzfforma chainsaw. This is the next video I watched and I’m blown away. I was hooked to every word. Good luck for the future. You deserve peace and happiness.
I just stumbled upon your videos while learning about woodworking and eagerly went to your Etsy page thinking I could purchase one of your awesome bowls. Did not expect to be led to the :( You were given such a raw deal. I wish all the best for you and your family. Thanks so much for sharing your story.
I was only just thinking a couple of days ago of how I stumbled upon your channel, a holzforma chainsaw review.
And ever since I have been truly humbled by you, how you have let me into your world with trusting arms.
I send power to you my brother ✊ on your journey!
The same of that which the hatchet bury into the wood to make a bowl
I send you a strong hug, i hope the things can go better soon
I have volunteered with the Muscular Dystrophy Association. I can assure you that you aren't the only parent who would do anything for their child with one of these horrible diseases. I hope that this all blows over and we have you guys back on the homestead before long.
Really miss both of you!
My favorite channel!
I imagine you carving small spoons at camp while resting. Good luck!
I support all you have both stood for since I first began following your channel.. I'm glad you two are alright and healthy.. I wish I could make all your troubles go away..
A sad story, I am sad for the loss of your child and all that you both have been through. May God create your next path to be a blessed one. Hang in there and hope to hear from you on another video.
Just found your channel yesterday and already I feel like I know you. I work as a chaplain for a hospice agency and understand what you are trying to do. Stay strong and please know there are a lot of folks out here who support what you are doing. Don't let the negatives get you down! God Bless!
I have missed u guys channel . Just now found this video explaining the scenario of your life . My best for you both. And the strength to seek clarity, not for yourself but for those that depend on you . And that love you . Peace to u both . Grace to seek and grit to stand and to know when its time to sit . ✨️
In many states like NY and CA you could commit felony robbery with little risk of going to jail. You might get booked, but you would be out on no cash bail waiting for a prosecutor to reduce your charge to a misdemeanor.
Do you think this is a good practice? Releasing people convicted of crimes. No consequences for criminal activity?
No judgement here, my partner is a survivor too and needs it to treat the after effects of radiotherapy, I appreciate you and your content I hope to see more in the future
Only just found your channel in the last month or so. Love what you do and you're an inspiration to everyone connected. Is there anything we can do to help keep you going? From the comments I see posted here there is more than enough love and concern to help you through - if we only knew what form that help would take and how to provide it. Please let us know somehow, we're all pulling for you!!!
I had a great injustice happen to me so I can relate. No judgement is being passed here, only love and prayers. I pray that the Lord leads you out of this mess safely. The best advice I can give is to get it resolved for the sake of your kids, family and yourself. I know you're fighting for the cause but as you mentioned, it's already been overturned in these states. Now the attack on you is a senseless prosecution on an old law. Do what you feel is best, but from my experience is that it likely isn't going away so you need to deal with it. Get a good defence lawyer and get serious about facing it because it's only a matter of time anyway. I'll be praying for you.
y'all hang in there .. love your video's and i'll keep watching them .. it well work out for you ..peace and love sent your way
I have a feeling that you're doing gods work! sending positive thought and love for you and yours.
Sheesh, today I tried to find your etsy store in order to see if I could buy an adze from you. Didn't find the store, checked your RUclips page and only then saw this video. Wow, what a series of blows you had and have to face. I wish you all the strength in the world! Never loose hope and however hard it may seem, you will find a way. My heart goes out to you. Best, jochen
congrats on your at hike through! it's a great accomplishment! 👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼
and
a heartfelt condolence about your son and the tragedies you have experienced! you will be in my thoughts and prayers! GOD bless... 🙏🏼🕊
I think you captured the guts of the story very well, wishing you the very best future. Almost like a movie script, a horror movie, for you guys.
Much respect, love, and the best of all possible outcomes forward and forever to you.
I am happy you are still walking and breathing! All I gotta say is wow, hard to believe, total insanity. I hope some way you can get with a good lawyer who can help sort this all out, so you don't need to be on the run.
Sorry to hear of your situation, I have enjoyed you sharing your skills with us. I speak for myself that in my younger days I had done some things that not really proud of. I don’t really know but this seems like a small thing and if you could somehow get this behind you you would not have to look over your shoulder all the time. It truly is a freedom to not have to look over your shoulder. May God give you wisdom in moving forward. He has the last word.
I have always been impressed with your ability to communicate ideas and how respectfully you do so. This video is no exception. I wish I had the bravery and commitment it must have taken to video this and post it. I now better understand how your backstory has shaped the person we see in these videos. Persevere! Thank you for updating those of us who follow and appreciate your work and your words. Your experiences, past and present, have entertained and informed me. Your ability to teach and present is awesome and fun to see. And your caring approach to the world and your community is to be commended. You may have lost access to your family land and your worldly possessions, but you have all the things I just mentioned inside you and can use them to move on. You are your most valuable tool and you still have the means and the intention to move forward. Other commenters have mentioned that continuing to check in electronically by posting videos or using social media may put you at additional risk so please consider that and be careful moving forward. I will miss your postings and your shared wisdom if you go dark, but I will know it is for good reason. Stay safe my friend and thank you for all you have shared with us.
Ditto!
I've been waiting for your next video. thinking, wondering how things are. Hope you continue to do what you believe is your part in this life. take care. I'll be waiting for another video
Good luck , wherever you go whatever you do . Happy trails 👣💓
Had to go back and rewatch this. Y’all are cool as hell. I hope that y’all can be happy in whatever you decide with your life. I wish y’all the best. I wish y’all still made those adze. I would love to have one. Good luck guys
Wish y’all the best of luck! I have always looked forward to seeing the next video y’all would make! I would look and look all the time for it..!!! I especially liked the sharpening video-very, very helpful to me..!!! I sure hope y’all can resolve the situation in a peaceful way! Not only for y’all’s sake, but for others that you all have touched and will touch in the future! I can see that you have a very sensitive heart-and that is good because it shows that you care..!! Turn it all over to Jesus, our Lord and our Savior--time is short..!!!
Sure glad you both are fine youv had your share of touble want to say if you in Maine please stop by love to meet you two . Hope thing work out for you some times there's trials befor thing come to the good stay safe hope to see more of you both .
Hey brother, I’ve been watching your channel for a while now and I believe this is the first comment I’ve ever even made on RUclips; despite my account being probably 10 years old at this point. What happened to you and your family is absolutely horrific, it’s hard to believe that there is still so much cruelty institutionally in what is supposed to be the greatest country in the world. Best of luck and I hope you can find true peace without fear of the state at some point in your future. Thank you for the content, safe travels!
Mind blowing is all I can say. Sorry to here all the bullshit you guys are going through. I haven’t said much on your channel but eagerly wait and watch your videos. I like so many others love your approach and style/knowledge you offer and really appreciate it. I know it could sound weird but I’m not sure if you’re still in Maine upon Katahdin but I live in Maine and you guys are welcome to come here if you so choose contact me if you have any interest if not safe travels I wish the best for you both.
Don't think it is selfish to turn yourself in. You can get situation taken care of and not be looking over your shoulder all the time.
great to see u guys again
You guys are incredible people, its heart breaking what you faced while trying to help others. Happy to head you had a great hike.
Thank you for sharing your story, it wasn't too long, it was perfect. We never know the miles people walk until they tell us, and by hearing your story makes me appreciate you both more. How you share snippets of your lives, nuggets of wisdom, are true gems. Thank you. Thank you for being genuine. Thank you for sharing this story so we can understand you a bit more, and appreciate you both even more.
It is good to hear from you again. Your videos about carving and smithing have made a positive difference in my life, and other lives too. Your humor and philosophy of quality and efficiency in your craftsmanship makes your videos unique. Thank you!
I hope and trust that you will be able to abide and stay productive until your situation with the government idiots is resolved. You are only too right in your analysis of the effects of bad law enforcement on people's respect for government. Exposing and talking about the problem may be expected to have at least some positive effect in moving people to shift their butts to the voting booth.
Thanks again and good luck.
*HUG* I'm so sorry for everything you and your family/community had to endure! My dad died of cancer and when my Mom got it she decided to try cannabis but died in Hospice before we could get her license approved :'(
It just ain't right!
That's unreal. Totally no judgement at all from me in New Zealand. Best of luck to you both. Stay positive and things will eventually work out some way or another. Perhaps you could set up a go fund me or something or is there anyway people, your viewers the ones that wanted could donate a little to help? Even if it's just a little here and there from a few it will all add up, it may help you till you gather what you will do and get on your feet again. I'd be glad to try help you both as you seem like great people who have just had some bad luck. Sometimes we all need a little help sometimes in life and I'm sure many would like to try and help. I don't have huge amounts money to donate but I certainly have a very small amount and would be really happy to try help you in your situation. Good luck
I Would also like to help!
I'm pretty sure it's against "Go Fund Me's" policies since it would be a crime to help them evade arrest. Unfortunate, but it is what it is.
I've missed watching your videos. No matter what happens just hold your head up and keep pushing forward. Put it into God's hands and it will work out the way it's suppose to. Take care and GOD BLESS 🙏!
Keep your heads up and God bless yous
Good news for you going around mate! I hope you will be able to have a comfortable life again soon!
Please Please please!! Do not give up!! You are a shining light in my life... and I'm sure in the lives of countless others!! I am going through an have been going through similar issues... I was very sick for over 4 years and I am now up and going again for 2 because of the ignorance your talking about in Southern miss. But you give me hope...
Just saw your story, thank you for the inspiration, good luck, you are a great teacher and craftsman..
Wish you much luck on your journey! Takes a lot to talk about your lives to everyone. Thank you for all the excellent videos you have given us.
I just found your channel, great content! So I'm new to your back story, but I can tell you guys are in a bad way. I don't know if you are religious but I'll be praying for you guys. God bless you.
P.S. I was diagnosed with Colon Cancer last year, so i understand what your brother was going through. Thank you all you help fighting cancer. May God return that mercy upon you. God Bless you and yours 🙏✝️
I hope you can find happiness together and fulfill your destiny to help wherever you can. It's a scary world we live in today in so many ways. It's unimaginable that a country like this can be so messed up. Greed, lies and corruption. I am sure I'm one of thousands who have enjoyed your video's I learned and rewatched several of them. Thank you. May spirit guide you on your new path.
I lost my mother to cancer and my wife lost most of her 30s to stage 4 NHL. the post chemo state is a state of constant pain and neuropathy. we discussed cannabis use to help ease here symptoms but even though medical marijuanna is legal in out state, she would then fail drug tests, be unemployable, and be critically condemned in several parts of the community in the fallout. None of this has made any sense, and the US justice system is not exactly functional in the proper sense of the term, in fact this sort of thing happens far more often than it should. I am hoping ya ll find a good place to land after all this and can get back to making a good impact where ever you go!
Hope you guys are warm and have all your needs are satisfied.
Hard work, decency and altruism are sadly not incentivised in today’s society.
Just look at how the authorities are currently persecuting a number of Amish Food Producers.
Reaching out with best wishes for the coming year. Trusting you are both doing well...🇨🇦
Keep your heads up!
Ya'll are good people.
Unbelievable! My heart goes out for you, stay strong, you are on the right path!
Wow. What a story, i hope you two will be okay, you are not a criminal and your character says that.
It's difficult to live under opression by a mafia. I'm with you all the way on this.
God bless you guys! Are you ok now? I really hope they come to their senses and drop those ridiculous charges. My husband and I love your channel.
Sorry for your troubles, good luck with everything 🤞
Take care, and all the best.
On the Maine end of the trail , Wow, praying for you , Wish you would have stopped by. How can we help ?
Keep on keeping on. You are truly appreciated by the global community.
I hope you can resolve this without any hardship to you and your family and community. I’m sure there is a lawyer that would be willing to help you work through this. I wish you the best and hope you can do what you love again. Helping people. ✌🏻💛
Well, I was wondering what has happen to you... I've been thinking about you lately, hoping you'd post another video. I'm enjoy your spoon; it sits proudly in the bowl next to the stove. I'm sorry to hear your story, but honestly i thought it must be something along those lines. I once hiked the AT too, but that was in another life (before my accident). I wish you could return to the homestead, but I understand how difficult life can be. I'm proud of you and think of you guys as family too. Best of luck to you guys and remember, I'm here, like so many others, to support you in any way you need. Send me a new video soon... Miss you.
I was thinkin about you guys yesterday, missin tha vids!
Man I wish I would’ve seen this video a year ago when it was originally uploaded. I would’ve said ya’ll can come live on my property (an offer that still stands btw). I hope things have worked out for you. I would like to help in any way I can. Feel free to reach out anytime. I really love your videos and I’ve learned a lot. Thanks for all you guys do. Congrats on finishing the trail.
Good Luck I wish you two all the very best, and may God Bless you Both and I will be praying for you . Thankyou so much for all you have taught me Thankyou Very Much
I'm one of the few in my generation (born 1956) and have personally NEVER used drugs, smoked weed, etc. I don't smoke, barely drink, and despise recreational drug use. However, I'm now convinced that the "War on Drugs" has been used as a way to slowly destroy individual liberty in the U.S., in conjunction with "gun control", "Homeland Security" and etc. I'm 100% "Jeffersonian Libertarian" in my political thinking, and believe that everyone has the inalienable right to use ANY method for personal health and preventative medicine, whether that is vitamins, minerals, herbs, cannabis, etc. I'm guessing that the FDA (and the medical establishment) is feeling threatened that their "cash cow" scam of high dollar Chemo treatment to "cure cancer" is a house of cards about to fall, so that is why you, and many others are being targeted. There is also valid research showing that extended fasting stops cancer in its tracks, and I'm aware of several nutritionists, Chiropractors, holistic medical practitioners, etc advising alternative natural cancer treatments, who have been SWAT raided and threatened with criminal prosecution. We have an extremely corrupt system that needs to change. The EVIL of the FBI, ATF, FDA, CIA, TSA, IRS etc all need to be dissolved, and about 95% of Federal Employees fired, and the Federal Government reduced dramatically in size. Best wishes and God Bless you in showing you the path away from the Evil pursuing you.
yo if you despise recreational drug use why do you barely drink instead of not drink at all?
you know alcohol is hard drugs and kills many people. I prefer the healthier alternative 🍃
I love the silent backup singer😆🙏
Y'all are super cool! Been watching your channel. Live free fam.
So sorry you had to go through that. Its a fuck of a time we're living in. Or slaving in.
Wow can't believe I am three days late seeing this from you guys. I am ignorant of the law and anything dealing with cannabis from growing it to any other part so nothing to add there except my best wishes for the two of you. I actually just kinda figured you had went back to the boating life and turned pirate with a chicken in a little rocking cage. I am not one for intruding into anyone's privacy but it was pretty easy to pin point your location within a few miles back from your date night at the roller rink video. I enjoyed your video's and both you guys are incredibly talented. You are also correct the way thing are headed these days into craziness, might not be long before you won't be on any LEO radar anyway if you find an out of the way spot and keep your head down. If you ever wish to get a hold of me just let me know and we can work out the details. Either way best of luck and I hope everything works out for you guys.
