      Hi Daniel! I hope things are going better. I encourage you to trust in Jesus Christ. God has completely changed my life, showing me that my purpose is found in Him, and that I have no reason to worry because He is in control over every detail, from small to big. 1 Peter 5:7 says "casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you." This verse brings me so much comfort knowing God cares for His children. I really encourage you to trust in Jesus today, because He alone can give you true life and it's amazing! Praying for you Daniel!

      I actually just said to myself, there is no need to stress about all the chaos and pressure I feel. As long as I get to do this soon and later in life, then why should I ever stress there is way too much beauty in this world.

You're an inspiration to us all my dude. Stay safe out there and I wish you the best in your travels.

    I just want to say that Im coming back to this video to place a comment. Whether you see it Drew or not, I still want to share it with you and your fans. I became a fan of yours a while back, on an older account that I regretfully forgot the password to. You see, I was a fighter pilot. Specifically in the Navy. Ever since I was a kid and saw Top Gun I knew what I wanted to do, and I did. On one of our missions in early 2019, I ended up on a mission where my wingman Riot(keeping his name undisclosed other than his call sign) was shot down and his ejection had malfunctioned and ended up dying in the crash. It really screwed me up. My wife, bless her to the moon and back, was understanding and supportive. I wasn't drinking but it really screwed me up and it affected me to the point where I got severely depressed for months. I neglected everyone. I very slowly started doing things, showering, eating, watching RUclips, going back to the gym and spending time with my family. Then thats when I come to you. This video. This video forced me out of the house and back in the wilderness. I used to hunt, fish, hike and go camping all year around. But when I saw this video, I went out traded in my car for Wrangler, got everything I needed and spent 6 months out in the wilderness with my wife living out of the wrangler. It was... amazing. So much so that we actually just got back a few days ago. Drew, thank you. I don't think you would have expected a video like this to affect someone like me so much, but it did. It made me realize what I had. What I was ultimately looking for, and most of all... a chance to forgive myself for Riot and to stop blaming myself because ultimately at the end of the day, there was truly nothing I could have done. This trip I took with my wife that last 11 months could've gone really bad or really good. But it made us so much closer, brought us to a new level. She's from Canada and we moved here temporarily to take another trip. We leave in a month, after Christmas. The trip did so much for us, I finally opened up to her about Riot and other missions that had affected me and she opened up to me too, it was definitely a wild ride but one we both clearly needed. I realized so much there and I truly believe I owe you all of my success with my mental health over the course of the last year. Thank you, Drew. One day, I hope to meet you, hope to have you meet my wife and thank you.

    When the bird rested on you hand, it reminded me of Disney's "Song of the South". Perhaps the bird saw your drone and figured that the drone seemed to think that you were safe so it felt safe resting on your hand.

    Hi Drew. Thank you so much for your videos. They are the best I have seen. I look forward to lots more. I do so love the snow. It's the nearest I will ever get to see snow. Where I live in the UK, we never have snow. I'm 72 and have Cancer. So I will never get to go abroad. My dream was always to go to Canada. But sadly it will never happen now, I'm to sick to go far these days. I can't beleave how you cook proper meals for yourself. Good on you. It's nice to see a man making an effort. Keep sending the videos. God Bless you, and stay safe. 💜💚💙
