Dave, my wife and I just discovered you and Brooke and you both are our favorite channels to watch. Your honesty,love for each other and GOD has restored a joy to us. We live in the Huron Mountains here in the UP. So at 71 years young hope to stumble on to you someday face to face.
My niece lives in Delta Junction with her two children. She is a wildlife biologist. My brother practically built her home over a number of years along with her then husband. If I said her name you might have crossed paths. Small world. My parents taught us early in life to live off your income and not go into debt. It was very good advice and has served us well. Love your videos and sage advice. Best to you.
At 74 I'm finally working my way out of a life of debt. By the time I pass on to Eternity I'll be debt free! I'm halfway there and it already feels good.
Interesting personal info. There is much to be said about a debt free lifestyle. Connie and I are also dept free as well. That fact has opened up much freedom for us as well so we can relate.
Love watching your videos. See you know about guitars :-) I have a D35 Martin w/3piece back from my husband who passed 18 years ago. Can you give me a ballpark idea what it might be worth?
Hey love ur videos and life style. Do you have health care? You didn't mention that in your video. Seems like health care on your own would be a pretty big expense. Thanks.
Funny did not realize that I was watching concrete being done the whole video I think I was concentrating more on the story you where telling thanks Dave!
It was refreshingly calming in a way, serene even, watching the process (although you did shorten what wld be a hour(?) bit into an 8-minute one, eh). Plus, interspersed w/your meandering story, etc., made it what ‘tis, mate. Cheers, and tks for your time/efforts!
Well, ya sure killed my theory... I always figured you to be a bank robber and Ms Brooke to be the one to mug little old blue haired ladies at the ATMs around the first of the month. Come to find out y'all are just hard working folks that aren't afraid to tackle any project/challenge! Wow, what a let down.. :0( 😂 I think what you two have found is happiness. Your grasp on this basic and simple life are a great inspiration to many folks. Thanks for sharing your lives and projects with us. 👍
It really is amazing (once you've lived this way) how little we really "need" in order to live and be happy with it. Focusing on the simple pleasures in life takes so little yet pays so much! Glad for you, Dave! What an awesome gift you and Brooke are giving your son and daughter. Enjoy! God Bless
That was quite a hypnotic backdrop to have for the voice over, never knew there was so much to pouring concrete! I live on a boat, it's a simpler life with no mortgage payments so it also gives me more choice over what I do to earn money. Great video...
I did that off-grid cabin life when I was younger. I was in the Canadian Militia in Artillery from 86-91 in which I worked on call-outs with regular force, and between call-outs I had a small spruce log cabin to enjoy.
Girl I'm 66. I started 10 years ago decluttering my life. By the time I left city life. Divorced and grown kids. I owned a car, my tools and one fork. Down to minimal interaction with monthly bills. Small cabin payment. That's it. It's easier than you think. Much more rewarding
Consumerism is the trap we all fall into at one or another times of our lives so don’t feel bad. After awhile it loses its glamour and we realize there is more to life than amassing possessions. You are at that point now. Good for you.
I’m fairly new to the channel and learning a lot. One of my favorite channels already. Just freaking well done. Congrats on your lifestyle. More of us need to learn from this. Whether we’re up in the bush or in the lower 48. Thanks for your time
My wife was cleaning houses (just solo -- no employer/company) for a living, and I learned the lesson you learned. She had some level of income security because she could never lose it all at once, like is possible with a conventional employment job (like mine).
Hi Dave. Hubby and I are hooked on videos of off the grid living. Great how you mix it up. Loved the early years of the rafting. You and family have great natural enthusiasm. Will be tuning in.👍
I just started to watch this channel and I enjoy watching your building and experiences and willingness to share your thoughts and it's a channel that you want to come back too. Great 👍work keep it up.
Dave! I want to say thank you. When you did your video on your stomach troubles, I to was going through it when I was watching it. I commented and you responded. You gave me hope that I too would get through it and I did. I wanted to just tell you how much strength that gave me. So thanks. 👍
Thank you so much for reaching out and telling me that. That means everything to me that I could give someone , some hope, who was dealing with a similar problem.
It's great to see someone that takes pride in their work. Nice job on the slab! I have to agree with you that having more than one way to earn an income is very important. I travel with painting, drywall, carpenter, miscellaneous other tools, and my 1926 Singer industrial sewing machine. It's good to have many skills. Thank you Dave, for sharing this video with us.
Evening Dave, there’s nothing like watching skilled people doing what they do best. Having finished a little concrete myself during my tenure I can attest to how hard this work is and just how much skill is involved to achieve the required finish, first rate work there sir! As for the financial position that allows your lifestyle, I wouldn’t presume to ask!That kind of enquiry is, I think, gauche and entirely inappropriate for a stranger to ask. It’s enough for me to watch and enjoy your uploads and appreciate the hard work that goes on behind the scenes to enable your endeavours on this platform. Keep the good stuff coming.
1. Be debt-free. 2. Learn to live simply. 3. Being resourceful and useful = $. Good advice for just about anyone. Also, floating down the Yukon River on a log raft is now on my bucket list. 😎👍
Dave i could listen to you recite the phone book lol, such a pleasant relaxing voice :) absolutely enjoy every video you produce, your knowledge, skills, insight and humor are very entertaining, till next time. Stay well Dave :)
That's the way our forefathers did it...they may have had a farm...but, in the fall, they made Apple butter and molasses, in winter, they made furnishings, or did iron work. The wives made butter, clothing, quilts...that were sold in the local store to help pay the grocery bill.
Grandpa drove truck and farmed, dad was a boilermaker and farmed. I was an hvac technician and farmed. . . There was times farming wasnt so good to be in and others that work was slow. None of us spent a day at work, loved what we did. . .
@@andrewjackson9853 Lots of people did that. One uncle worked at car dealers in the body shop...then, he built his own, which he ran till bad knees made him quit...but, he raised cattle till he died. The other uncle drove the school bus for a year or two, but my aunt drove for 30 years. For 5 or 6, she ran the cafeteria at the school...cooking and cleaning up for 60, and driving the kids home..,and came home to prepare the evening meal. She made enough for lunch the next day. And made breakfast before she drove the bus. She worked very hard then.
@@michaelcook768 I hear that. . . It just seems natural to have multiple streams to swim. Never can tell when the creek your in's gonna have a drought. Ran into a long time acquaintance a week ago. Was with a large national company (propane supply) for 26 years. . . They out of the blue layed him off in July. He was lost. . .felt terrible for him. It's not true but he sounded like his world came to an end.
I live in Maine. I’m selling my house in the spring. I’m moving to an 82 acre wood lot. I’m good at 3 things. I’m a drywall master. I was a general contractor for 13 years. I can operate heavy equipment very well. I can also bake bread and make wedding cakes. ( fancy nice ones). Weird combination but I hear ya. We’ll see how that goes. Off grid of course. Going to have to learn aTON of stuff. I’m ready. Gardening and livestock will take Time every day. Scheduling will be key. Diversification. 👍
Good luck sounds like you are confident enough to accomplish just about anything you put your mind to. Plus everybody loves cake especially fancy ones, if you move to a remote area they may NOT have fancy cake maker for special occasions. :)
I never knew that I'd find watching three dudes pour concrete so interesting! You make a very good point in how by keeping extra expenses low, it enables you to have money for the things you actually need. It really is simple, but most of us don't realize it. A few weeks ago while I was out in Colorado, I spent a few hours soaking in a riverside hot spring. While I was there, I struck up a conversation with a young guy and his girlfriend. I guess that I would term them modern hippies. He had just recently bought a van in which to live. I told him how sometimes the simplicity of a mobile van lifestyle seems appealing to me. However, I own too many books that I don't want to get rid of in order to travel through life that unencumbered. Well, that, and I have too much outdoor gear, including handmade knives.
Bushradical that’s my plan.... after i finish building the cabins in Alaska and then sell whichever one I’m not gonna keep (two pieces of land about an eighty mile boat ride apart), I want to buy a little land in central or South America and build one there.... summer in Alaska, three month slow casual drive, three months in (Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Panama?), three month slow casual drive to Alaska. Repeat.
Dave you and Brooke are very inspirational TRUE RED BLOODED AMERICANS , So great to see two people operating as 1 and makin things happen fueled by honest hard work , determination, intelligence, dicipline , and of course GOOD OLD FASHION LOVE AND RESPECT. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH . Being a 35 yr sheetmetal worker and no stranger to using tools and a tape measure , you 2 Fine Americans have convinced me and my better half Mieke to instead of buying an over expensive flimsy prefabbed tool shed . We are gonna model off of what you showed us it would take for us to build a cabin like the off grid ones you showed us. I will forever be greatful to you both for showing my lady Mieke that a couple can get out there and make some of our own rules and save money and experience the self gratification of knowing we can do things together and enhance our lives here on our property. I too am a life long musician (guitar) so it seems that you and i have alot in common. I totally dislike the idea of debt with the big banks and feel much more comfortable living within our means , and not having that financial axe blade dangling over our heads. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts , skills, advice, and of course a piece of your personal life. It certainly has given us some new and powerful perspective on things here in Massachusetts. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH AND GOD BLESS AMERICA.
@@Bushradical She is 100% over it now! Thank you. Just had supper with her tonight. She is doing great! I will let her know you asked about her. Love to see good concrete work. My dads last job he performed was a concrete job on Saturday in 2017. On Sunday he had a massive stroke at 81 years old. Still with us but not the same. Concrete work and tree work was his thing mainly, but he did it all - like you. BTW, I put another pic of a cool stove pipe oven on the FB post that I thought you might like. Always so nice to hear from you Dave.
Greetings from coastal SW WA. Thanks for sharing this personal (and unnecessary) information. I enjoy both you and your half-sides clips. You take me to places and do things I've dreamed of my entire life. Please keep them coming. Pure and simple. Good journeys.
I can vouch for the Ulu's. I have one Dave made from a saw blade. I use it daily. I just got back to Texas from Southeast Alaska less than a week ago. I stayed in an off grid 12x14 foot log cabin that can only be reached by float-plane. The Tongass rain forest is an amazing place.
Hey Dave thanks for the video I enjoyed it and I knew about the knives in Hulu's and concrete work from your videos before about will you speak to about but didn't know you were still doing concrete so it's nice to know a little bit more about you I think that's Brooke should do a video like this to I think that be nice to get to know her little bit better to I know she does arts and crafts things but still not too much
I had no idea you were a tv “star” as I don’t watch much tv at all. I’m still binge watching your videos because I think you’re a good dude with good stuff to watch. Keep shootin’ man, you make good stuff.
I enjoy your work Dave! Simplicity in your life will be your success…….stay safe and healthy….I started watching your segment ,then I lost you….now your back, hehehehe
On the subject of buying and selling house's, and LAND, primarily what your doing now is almost, almost, what the original settlers would have had to do anyhows, find a spot, source materials or make them for the build, then get the job done an improvise on the way, much much harder labour, no chainsaws for the cutting an clearing etc . . . . still your endevour with Brooke is as admirable as gets, be well an well done
OMG that view 😱 absolutely gorgeous. New to your channel...I didn’t know you had your own channel too. I’ve been following your wife for a couple of months now. Love what you two are doing. ❤️❤️❤️
For some not so good personal reasons watching three guys pour concrete while listening to you talk was a much needed little slice of heaven when I really needed one. Thanks.
I have enjoyed all your videos but I love my view more. Thers no mountains but no rooftops either and really enjoy when the moose stop by in the mornings to say hello. Keep up the great work and I cant wait to see more on the cabin.
I enjoyed this video because I did a lot of concrete work while serving in the Air Force and seeing your good work and variety of talent is inspiring. Have a good day.
Tomahawk, Wisconsin in the house! Well, sort of. A friend of ours, my brother, and I visited our other brother there back in '98. My brother lived next door to the paper mill back then. It's a neat little town. The first time I ever had cheese curds was in Tomahawk, WI! Anyway, thanks for sharing this little bit of info with us, and I look forward to your next video.
Adapt your needs to your income is the key to being rich in not missing out on anything ! I appreciate and share your (and Brook's!) life style. Good video, Thanks Dave
Love this video. I envy you & Brooke. Yes I've tried different things ( part time pottery business & other crafts, pet sitting, light house cleaning, cleaning out / reorganize for others, but, all the whole having a full time "regular job". "Security".....The fear of going without or not knowing exactly where or how much the money coming in. Oh well. Now up there in age, on SS but working towards owning our own home again and just maybe get at least partial off grid & maybe ....😁😁. Thanks to you & Brooke for inspiration. Am looking forward to my future

You're a smart man with multiple streams of income. Paying cash for things is so good for a better life. Good video's.
Thanks
This man not only lives within his means, he's living the life he wants, and probably building wealth too!
I also can see he's climbing his way up to the top.
The top of what I'm not sure...LOl
Does Alaska have reasonable Property Taxes ??
Other than that, life would be affordable with
only Food and Fuel Costs.

Wow,, 74 NO debt.. God bless u
The best part of watching your videos is knowing you are people of prayer and thank the Lord Jesus Christ for every blessing. Love that.
Interesting personal info. There is much to be said about a debt free lifestyle. Connie and I are also dept free as well. That fact has opened up much freedom for us as well so we can relate.
Lonnie! Good to hear from you. I hope you and Connie are doing well.
@@Bushradical Yes we are doing well. Hope you folks are also.
We're doing good, thanks. Tell Connie we said Hi.
Love watching your videos. See you know about guitars :-) I have a D35 Martin w/3piece back from my husband who passed 18 years ago. Can you give me a ballpark idea what it might be worth?
Hey love ur videos and life style.
Do you have health care? You didn't mention that in your video. Seems like health care on your own would be a pretty big expense. Thanks.
That beautiful slab of concrete was a work of art. 👍
Best line: "I hope you enjoyed watching 3 dudes pour concrete for 8 minutes in the arctic." Ha ha! Good info. Thanks, Dave!
Another great video your a man of many skills.....Love ure story...PS nice lookin slab
Funny did not realize that I was watching concrete being done the whole video I think I was concentrating more on the story you where telling thanks Dave!
LOL, I was working' my but off!
I laughed at his last comment which made me realize the same thing.
It was refreshingly calming in a way, serene even, watching the process (although you did shorten what wld be a hour(?) bit into an 8-minute one, eh). Plus, interspersed w/your meandering story, etc., made it what ‘tis, mate. Cheers, and tks for your time/efforts!
@@DustyC75080 Thanks . I think that pour took about 6 hours start to finish.
The hustle is strong with this one 💪
LOL
Well, ya sure killed my theory... I always figured you to be a bank robber and Ms Brooke to be the one to mug little old blue haired ladies at the ATMs around the first of the month. Come to find out y'all are just hard working folks that aren't afraid to tackle any project/challenge! Wow, what a let down.. :0(
😂 I think what you two have found is happiness. Your grasp on this basic and simple life are a great inspiration to many folks. Thanks for sharing your lives and projects with us. 👍
Thanks Dave
@@Bushradical so are you selling a cabin right now? Do you have a website?
It really is amazing (once you've lived this way) how little we really "need" in order to live and be happy with it. Focusing on the simple pleasures in life takes so little yet pays so much! Glad for you, Dave! What an awesome gift you and Brooke are giving your son and daughter. Enjoy! God Bless

why dont you do it still?
@@AsTheWheelsTurn Life changed for me I drifted away from the cabin.
@@brianferris1233 fair enough. as long as you are happy it doesnt matter what your lifestyle is.I hope you are happy and content.
@@AsTheWheelsTurn Yes, very content.
Interesting lifestyle you folks live , if only I myself could turn back time I would have done things much differently for sure
Never too late ❤️
Girl I'm 66. I started 10 years ago decluttering my life. By the time I left city life. Divorced and grown kids. I owned a car, my tools and one fork. Down to minimal interaction with monthly bills. Small cabin payment. That's it. It's easier than you think. Much more rewarding
Consumerism is the trap we all fall into at one or another times of our lives so don’t feel bad. After awhile it loses its glamour and we realize there is more to life than amassing possessions. You are at that point now. Good for you.
Great inspiration in your words and lifestyle choices, Dave. Thanks! 😊👍

Thanks Steve. I hope you enjoy the channel!
My wife was cleaning houses (just solo -- no employer/company) for a living, and I learned the lesson you learned. She had some level of income security because she could never lose it all at once, like is possible with a conventional employment job (like mine).
Hi Dave. Hubby and I are hooked on videos of off the grid living.
Great how you mix it up. Loved the early years of the rafting.
You and family have great natural enthusiasm.
Will be tuning in.👍
Thanks!!
I just started to watch this channel and I enjoy watching your building and experiences and willingness to share your thoughts and it's a channel that you want to come back too. Great 👍work keep it up.

Thank you so much for reaching out and telling me that. That means everything to me that I could give someone , some hope, who was dealing with a similar problem.
Living the dream life. GOD Bless you and your family!!!
Thanks
Watching simple looks less stressful Dave. Thanks for the share.
Thanks Dwayne. If you make it up my way I won't ask you to pour any concrete! LOL
Thanks for sharing Dave, I love your channel; God Bless you and your family
Thanks
It's great to see someone that takes pride in their work. Nice job on the slab! I have to agree with you that having more than one way to earn an income is very important. I travel with painting, drywall, carpenter, miscellaneous other tools, and my 1926 Singer industrial sewing machine. It's good to have many skills. Thank you Dave, for sharing this video with us.
I think its safer to be useful in a lot of different ways than to have a 401K
Nothing wrong with having a lot of irons in the fire.
LOL, I hope not!
Too many and one will get burn up.
Evening Dave, there’s nothing like watching skilled people doing what they do best. Having finished a little concrete myself during my tenure I can attest to how hard this work is and just how much skill is involved to achieve the required finish, first rate work there sir!

Never do just one thing for income ...

I can vouch for the Ulu's. I have one Dave made from a saw blade. I use it daily. I just got back to Texas from Southeast Alaska less than a week ago. I stayed in an off grid 12x14 foot log cabin that can only be reached by float-plane. The Tongass rain forest is an amazing place.
Thanks
Brother, you have it figured out. I am inspired. Thank you for sharing some more personal details of your life.
Thanks
Love it! Very calming!
Oh yes I love Shawn James too both channels
Thanks
I agree they are both talented individuals but I bet Shawn can't beatbox... Dave can!!!! LOL
Hey Dave thanks for the video I enjoyed it and I knew about the knives in Hulu's and concrete work from your videos before about will you speak to about but didn't know you were still doing concrete so it's nice to know a little bit more about you I think that's Brooke should do a video like this to I think that be nice to get to know her little bit better to I know she does arts and crafts things but still not too much
I'll pass that on. Thanks
I had no idea you were a tv “star” as I don’t watch much tv at all. I’m still binge watching your videos because I think you’re a good dude with good stuff to watch. Keep shootin’ man, you make good stuff.
This is my plans for the future, thank you for the inspiration
Great vid Dave. Staying out of the debt trap and a lot of ambition and zest for life! Keep em comin!
Thanks Neil.
loved this video. I have many of the same ideas as you in not making debt and slowly working my way to an off-grid farm life. thank you for sharing.
Thanks
Can’t wait until the tear down of the new purchase. I love to watch brook tear things apart. Wish I could help. Love watching you guys
Cement finishing is such a great skill to have. Really enjoy your videos thank you.

On the subject of buying and selling house's, and LAND, primarily what your doing now is almost, almost, what the original settlers would have had to do anyhows, find a spot, source materials or make them for the build, then get the job done an improvise on the way, much much harder labour, no chainsaws for the cutting an clearing etc . . . . still your endevour with Brooke is as admirable as gets, be well an well done
OMG that view 😱 absolutely gorgeous. New to your channel...I didn’t know you had your own channel too. I’ve been following your wife for a couple of months now. Love what you two are doing. ❤️❤️❤️
Man, such an honest insight. I wish more people on RUclips would be as honest. Good stuff!
Thank you
For some not so good personal reasons watching three guys pour concrete while listening to you talk was a much needed little slice of heaven when I really needed one. Thanks.
You're very welcome Bob
Thanks for your info, you're a lucky man and a very talented man with all your jobs, Thanks.
I have enjoyed all your videos but I love my view more. Thers no mountains but no rooftops either and really enjoy when the moose stop by in the mornings to say hello. Keep up the great work and I cant wait to see more on the cabin.
Thanks Brad.
thank you for opening your life, inspirational and just damn awesome!!!!
Thanks
Your getting it man, great work!
Very good thanks.👍👍
Great videos! You are thorough & detailed I enjoy watching you work. I think this is a healthy life and not owing $ to people is great.
I love all the details. Synopsis ... he works hard, works often, doesn't get in debt and doesn't spend needlessly.
I enjoyed this video because I did a lot of concrete work while serving in the Air Force and seeing your good work and variety of talent is inspiring. Have a good day.
Thanks
Hey Dave you're a very interesting man. I'm really glad i found your videos. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Joan
Tomahawk, Wisconsin in the house! Well, sort of. A friend of ours, my brother, and I visited our other brother there back in '98. My brother lived next door to the paper mill back then. It's a neat little town. The first time I ever had cheese curds was in Tomahawk, WI!
Anyway, thanks for sharing this little bit of info with us, and I look forward to your next video.
I was surprised. Its a cool place
Adapt your needs to your income is the key to being rich in not missing out on anything ! I appreciate and share your (and Brook's!) life style. Good video, Thanks Dave
Thanks
I know sometimes this lifestyle is hard but man you truly are "living the dream"! Cheers sir
Thanks Matt
Awesome videos and information! Thank you!
That's some beautiful finishing work!
Love this video. I envy you & Brooke. Yes I've tried different things ( part time pottery business & other crafts, pet sitting, light house cleaning, cleaning out / reorganize for others, but, all the whole having a full time "regular job". "Security".....The fear of going without or not knowing exactly where or how much the money coming in. Oh well. Now up there in age, on SS but working towards owning our own home again and just maybe get at least partial off grid & maybe ....😁😁. Thanks to you & Brooke for inspiration. Am looking forward to my future
Great video! Love the way your getting it done!
Cheers,
Tim
Thanks

Both, you and Brook have many wonderful talents.
