    Teaching can be so rewarding. One of my favorite things about it is when someone comes up to you years later and thanks you.

    Tons of heart-felt props to you, Mrs. Whipple, for helping kids discover a world apart from screens and text messages. Long may your banner wave. Cheers.

    I live in Michigan and got lost in the Midland area deer hunting, after two hours of walking in the wood and 1.5 miles of walking on a road I found my truck. I was hunting 100 yards from my truck. I was not prepared to spend the night in the woods. Teaching kids survival skills is a great thing.

    My husband was a Scout leader in town for several years during the '90's. He taught both our grandchildren how to light fire with flint and steel by the time they were six years old. Valuable skill to have! It's awesome to watch you teaching life saving skills.

    I absolutely LOVE classes like these because not only do you plant a seed in their memories that might save a life in the future, but you remove irrational fear of the outdoors and being lost. So well done Brooke!

  • @kenstrampe7609
    @kenstrampe7609 7 лет назад +3

    so cool to have great people like you out there teaching kids a little bit about the outdoors. its also nice that the kids were willing to learn. i stop trying to teach kids in groups these days because they dont care to learn about this kind of stuff anymore, but when i am out and about doing my thing and a child asks about what i am doing i will take the time to show and teach them. i remember teaching a mentally challenged child not to be afraid of the dark in a cave and taught them how to feel with their hands and feet and hear with their ears so they wouldnt get hurt, oh and to stay calm. funny thing was she was at camp later that year and she told me how she kept everyone calm when they went into a cave and the power went out she helped everyone stay calm and find their way back out to the entrance where they sat till it stopped raining and help came and got them. she was proud and so was i. keep up the great work you do.

    • @therealgirlinthewoods

    Some lucky kids, getting a special class with GITW. Way to add water to those sponges! Wish my folks had
    sent me to classes like that at that age. You were awesome with those kids!
    Been wondering about "the big announcement" can't wait! Super great video B...Thanks for sharing with us.

  • @rickbiggssr.2450
    @rickbiggssr.2450 6 лет назад

    I love teaching kids the skills to survive...watching their faces when they learn something new is so much fun...I taught my two sons and their friends how to live and survive in the woods and now they are teaching their kids the same skills...!

  • @gbaughman3348
    @gbaughman3348 7 лет назад +5

    Excellent! Maybe this will catch on and others do this on their local level. Letting them touch and do things is really cool and the kids have so much fun and you know they will remember what you did for the rest of their lives. This is also important because it teaches them respect for the wilderness at the same time. You should video the whole program so you can enjoy it yourself years and years later and also why you do these things. Good Job!!!

    • @therealgirlinthewoods
      @therealgirlinthewoods  7 лет назад +1

      Thanks much Spear Brave! Yeah it would be great to get more people in schools teaching this stuff!

  • @JimBairdAdventurer
    @JimBairdAdventurer 7 лет назад

    I love how you build their confidence! Telling them they're smart, telling them they can survive if they use their brains. Confidence and self security are so important to instil in kids. And when they feel good and respected, they are more engaged. This seems simple but a lot of educators don't get it. I wish I'd had a teacher like you when I was that age.

    • @therealgirlinthewoods
      @therealgirlinthewoods  7 лет назад

      Thanks! Couldn't agree with you more Jim- give them permission to succeed and they will!

  • @Laiynnalaiynna
    @Laiynnalaiynna 7 лет назад

    Wow, you have the patience of a saint! I would want to superglue most kids to the ceiling, but by being as patient as you are, you were able to show them so much important stuff, and they picked up on it so quickly.
    Great job, Brooke!

    Great job with the kiddos. Wish there were more classes like that available to all the school kids.... it can really have a lasting impact on them and someday may help save a life.
    Have you ever gotten lost before? It's crazy how easily it can happen. I was reading this story that happened a few weeks ago about this girl and her dog who were hiking near Glacier NP. They went down to this stream to get a drink of water, came back up and went the wrong direction. They wandered for 6 days with no food or shelter and were discovered by other hikers.

    • @therealgirlinthewoods

    @anderstranberg2273 Год назад

    Fantastic inspirational video on how to teach survival and outdoor life in an educational and playful way. More leadership is needed to bring knowledge to the general public about how to act in nature, very good to start with children so they learn. The children can then tell their parents and siblings how to act. I'm quite used to being in nature, but still got good tips, thanks!

  • @susanstoltz2555
    @susanstoltz2555 7 лет назад

    What a great experience, for you as well as the kids! Love how you gave them the confidence to know they were all smart enough to survive in the woods. I wonder how many kids went home to build a shelter like yours and how many are asking for their own ferro rod. So cool to see their excitement and awe!

    • @therealgirlinthewoods
      @therealgirlinthewoods  7 лет назад

      Yes I encouraged them all to hit the woods that weekend and try to build a shelter... and many wanted to know where to get a ferro rod. So fun! Thanks for watching Susan!

  • @mtstream55n
    @mtstream55n 7 лет назад

    That is so cool and such a valuable lesson! Learning to whistle is good too. When I was 12 my family went boat camping and dropped me and the dogs and gear off and went back down lake to get everyone. By boat was the only way in unless you wanted to hike for 10 miles. The wind came up and water started white-capping and hours had gone by and it was getting dark. I did build a fire in the lean-to but it was too far from the water to see. I finially heard a boat come up but it went right by me and they couldn't hear me yell over their boat motor. If only I knew how to whistle. They figured out they had went too far and came back and found me. I vowed to learn how to whistle after that.

I myself have been temporarily misplaced in the woods a time or two (as a man "lost" is not in my vocabulary), so I'm really glad that you posted this. Hopefully those kids take what you taught them to heart and can learn to appreciate your teachings down the line. Have a wonderful day Brooke, I always look forward to your next videos.

Things you can do to increase visibility and make location more revealing. Great job! Loved the show too!! Keep on keeping on!
