    Not a word said. Only a few people can pull that off. You keep us on the edge wondering, what is she gonna do next.? Loved the drumming and the sounds of the woods in a snowstorm. Thanks again Brooke.

    I recieved my first ferro rod in the mail the day before yesterday. Yesterday I started my first fire ever from a rod and gathered fire material! It took me an hour and a half to get it right, but I got it! I didn't quit! Thanks for you inspiration and instruction. You rock!

    You are showing everyone how a fire can be started in the snow and that is important for everyone to know. I know how to do it and everyone else should know also if they want to survive in a forest or on an island. I see that you have your constant companion with you and she is loving being there beside you as always.

    An easy to assemble, and dissemble bow saw held in a pouch, and and a fire starting flint with steel; like totally 21st century, cool beans. Carrying the makings for fire wrapped up in a kerchief? Her Michigan grand mama taught her that I'll just betcha!.....Kid knows what she's doin for sure.

    Flashback to when I was a kid. Come back inside after playing in the snow til we were soaked. Had either chicken soup or Tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich with either potted meat or deviled ham on it. Hot cocoa after. Drying the clothes over the grate for the oil furnace.

    Another awesome video Brooke..the next time maisie shakes the snow off...get her to shake some in this direction, .we need some of that cool snow down here in australia...as long as it doesnt melt along the way. Also great beat with the wood...there is nothing like the sounds of nature...my brother and i are currently sitting at our campsite in Australia, listening to the cicadas singing about the heat...the wind blowing through the trees....the birds chorkelling as they collect their afternoon meal before roosting for the night and the bush flies buzzing by frantically.

    I had a 120 pound Staffordshire Terrier that loved the snow. Even in his elderly years (he lived to be 22.5 years old) he would bite the snow and stick his face down in it and run. The snow would be "flying" 5 feet in the air over his head. His mother (she lived to be 19.5 years old) was more like Maysie, she would sit or lay in the snow and didn't seem to care one way or the other about it.

    Hi Brooke, no snowshoes this time? I laughed so hard when you were playing the natural wood instruments, reminded me of doing similar things over the years. It was so warm here today, from below zero to in the 30's was nice change and I wanted to get out and test my little gassifier stove, but got tied up helping someone all day and didn't feel like doing it in the dark, so maybe tomorrow. Rock On!

    I haven’t seen powdered snow like that since doing an military exercise with the Royal Canadians in Watertown , NY at Fort Drum.. one month doing ski patrols together and pup tents with double silk lined sleeping bags. No heaters at all in our tents. 2nd Recon Battalion USMC. -20 to -60 degrees while there. Six foot deep snow is dangerous if you fall and lose your skis or snowshoes. I was ready for coffee to after you did all that prepping Loved the music, wanted you to keep on going. I was enjoying it too.....lol
