There is just something so relaxing / tranquil about your videos. Thanks for sharing and giving us a peek into your lifestyle. May God continue to bless you and Brooke and all that y’all do.
I just came across this channel and your wifes channel. I have watched a few videos, the one thing that stands out is how "Clean" both channels seem to be, No swearing, no smoking, no alcohol. And good Clean fun! AND I heard her pray before breakfast. Both channels are truly Family friendly. Thank you!
Michigander here . Love you guys . My husband and I are in the process of buying a little piece of U P heaven ourselves. Get out and get happy ! Best words ever ! Thank you for sharing your amazing knowledge and ideas!
I am sad that summer went so fast. I am glad you had the time and the good weather to break camp before it got soaking wet. I was shocked when Dave said that the U.P. gets more snow than Alaska. I had no idea. Love your video's and the both of you.
Its not easy living the way you guys do, but I love that you love it. But more than anything, what I get out of your videos is the hard work you put into your lifestyle day after day. Most of us aspire to a life of relative ease, & maybe you do too...you just have a different definition of "ease" than most of us. And maybe we need to pause & reflect on what it is we really want & why. I admire & respect the life you live. You're an inspiration.
Good morning Dave and Brooke, I always look at this day as sad when you have to break camp. I have always told Brooke how much I like that table and I am always looking for one like it or similar for my remote cabin. When you guys break camp, it makes me sad because, it brings back memories of when I lived in a wall tent out by Lake Clark. I really miss those days and not a day goes by I don't think about selling everything and going back to the wall tent. Sorry about my long message, that's just me. I would love to see you guys frame that tent with 2x6's and build a wood roof over it and visit it more often in the Winter. Anyway, thanks for bringing back memories to this old man, turned 73 on the 15th. See ya when you get back to Alaska.
@@Bushradical I've been machining some new parts for it. Not all done yet. Getting ready for winter and deer season. And making a few things here and there. Seems ya never get enough done in the day.
I so do enjoy your videos. Makes a man wish he could hang out and give you all a helping hand. That cabin tent is so awesome. Its a home away from home. I look forward to your next videos. Thank you for sharing and spreading the kindness
I can hardly wait until spring , so Brooke can be back out there putting up the tent with help from Dave of course. I just love her female touches. 😉👍🐶💗
Putting the camp to bed for the long winter. Dave, I'd be anxious to break that table & benches down, make up some simple templates to reproduce! What a great over-winter project! Bet they'd sell like hotcakes?
You should build a box for that tent. I know you guys enjoyed it a whole lot there, and you're going to miss it. But soon you will be back again and make it look all pretty again. You both have a wonderfully blessed day.
Cool break down camp video Dave...love all the little b-roll clips here n there... and your calm voiceover narrating... Your videos are something else!!
What a wonderful video...soothing to this city soul in DC area. Been following your entire journey to this piece of paradise! Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and well. 🙋♀️
You guys inspired me to buy a place in northern Vermont. There’s a dilapidated, uninhabitable cabin on the property so I bought a wall tent, and voila, I have a home on the property. Your wall tent setup video inspired that purchase. It’s already snowed up there: not much but it was a warning. I’m taking the tent down in a few weeks, but doing so reluctantly. Keep up the videos so that more of us can be inspired.
The cost of lumber has gone sky high due to tariffs and the closure of the Canadian border. Have loved watching Girl in the Woods during this season and seeing the place up there come together. Looking forward to watching you guys this winter. God bless, be happy and stay safe.
Those peg furniture is very common here in Sweden, and every old cabin and homesteads has benches, tables, sofas and even beds in that "flatpack" style. Maybe it is the precursor to IKEA? Haha! Thank you for this year at the UP, cant wait for next year and what you guys are up to then!
Love the video Dave! You and Brooke make such a great team. I remember when Brooke surprised you the first time you went there. It's been so enjoyable following you guys...hardest working couple. My husband and I worked together on many builds back in the day...they were the best days of my life!!! Thanks again Dave..take care!!
A worthy goal indeed... and a great video as always. We've already got six inches of snow here in Delta... yee haw! Let the games begin... Thanks for sharing.
Alas, the same reason y'all couldn't build, is the reason lumber didn't get cut or milled. Once things were open again, we suffered a serious lumber shortage this summer. Why the 2x4 was so expensive. I'm a little sad to see it all come down, but I did enjoy all the pretty fall color. Thanks for bringing us along.
Much enjoyment and then the breakdown Yuk ! BUT next year you'll be back for more enjoyment That's what is great having your own land Oh Love the bug Great video
We just finished closing up our off grid cabin a couple of weeks ago. Drain all the water lines (gravity fed), shut off the power (solar power), lock the door and go home. I might walk in to the cabin over the next couple of weeks and do some bird hunting. Thanks for letting us be part of what you do.
Yes, that table is awesome! Y'all are awesome and I'll look forward to setting it back up again 😊 Thank you for sharing your experiences! I've told Brooke many times how much these mean to me. I always feel like I'm right there and it makes me so happy❤️👏🏻❤️☺️
I enjoy your channel so much. You two work very well with each other. A lot of couples don’t have that skill. But man you make me miss living in Alaska something terrible. God Bless you and family.
Wonderful video !! I love your comment about priorities, ( I drive a 19 yr old vehicle). I am amazed you got the whole camp in one load. One great thing about a tent vrs permanent structure.....lower taxes. Love your breakdown table. Nice voiceover work, left original soundtrack, just lowered volume and lowered music during talking..........perfect. Now I gotta go find a couple of acres in Western PA or SE Ohio, and copy yer formula. Cheers from Akron, Ohio.
Love watching you both working together, I always learn something new and interesting every time. Stay safe Dave and Brooke 🌞 you've described my northern Ontario winters, we love visiting northern Michigan, st. Ignace, Petoskey, Traverse City, and all the little communities in between 💕
You mentioned the U.P’s snow fall amount being so much more than Alaska’s. I went back to Chicago for Christmas one year for 5 days. Got back home to the U.P and was not tall enough to shovel the front walk. Another time I was 8 months pregnant and sunk to my armpits. Feet were not touching the ground. Aw great memories! Love and miss the U.P. Thanks for the videos
Lumber price's are ridiculous right now. I work at Menards and prices have doubled or tripled, (If you can even get it). Your right about the snow, we got hit pretty good in Minnesota, IN OCTOBER, what a crazy year. I can't wait until you can return in the spring. Hope it's an early one. Looking forward to videos you post this winter from the homestead. You and Brooke are so Frugal and have had more adventures than anyone I know. Your love for life is such and inspiration. Take care and Thanks
My wishes and dreams have been realized through both of your channels. Thank you both for another year of outdoor experiences. Winter months have a whole new set of challenges. I travel with my 20 ft. travel trailer and truck and with each new year I look for an area to settle. Two more years should have it. Ive learned much from you both A sincere thanks from me to you.
I can't believe summer is ended and the snow will be coming soon!! I missed not seeing yours and Brooke's videos. I love that spot you guys were at. Soooo peaceful. I hope you enjoyed the juicey burgers on your way home. Lol.. Much ❤ to you both....
Gosh it seems like yesterday we got to see Brooke set it all up. It is only fitting we get to see you dismantle it all...can not wait for the Spring...Denise....
Thanks for the story of closing up a camp site for the season. Easier to take down than to put up, because you have to remember where all the pieces fit. Now, you must take all of the living support stuff and store it where no mice or chipmunks get in and chew, make a nest, and leave other things behind. I had a tent stored in the wrong place, one year and mice chewed holes in the tent and left a mess. Had to use bleach to clean what was left behind, from their living quarters. Will find you next year, to follow your escapades. Good luck through the winter months. They will be long and dark in Alaska.
Your property looks like ours now, nothing left but the picnic table, the outhouse and the fire ring. Oh... and lots of trees. Cat wait for spring already. ☮️-Kirsten (Yooper)
Enjoy the next several months can’t wait to see you set up again in the spring. The price of lumber is ridiculous it’s like that everywhere this fall. Stay safe and God Bless.
You are one very cool guy. Absolutely love your perspective and the way you approach and enjoy life. All the best to you and Brooke. You guys are really great people!
Awesome video Dave and Brooke ,and kinda sad seeing it all come down but if you don't old man winter would definitely blow it down lol and hey seasons come and go so there's always another season to set up camp again, and thanks for sharing this 👍 loved it 💙😆😊...
I could hang out with him allllll day... oh wait. 24 years baby! yee ha
this is adorable
Awwwwweeee!! Such SWEETHEARTS!! 🥰
Congrats !!
Congrats, guys!
You guys are awesome
Another nice video Dave.
Thanks 👍
Never thought I would enjoy watching someone clean there campsite but this video was great.
He could make a video on digging a hole interesting.
LOL, Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks...I have a couple videos on digging holes....LOL
Preparing one's departure today . . . will make one happy, and smile/remoniss . . . tomorrow !
I second your comment!
There is just something so relaxing / tranquil about your videos. Thanks for sharing and giving us a peek into your lifestyle. May God continue to bless you and Brooke and all that y’all do.
Thank you so much!
Yes!! Super cool relaxing voice and his music is tops!!
Hey Dave. Everyone needs a Dave
I just came across this channel and your wifes channel. I have watched a few videos, the one thing that stands out is how "Clean" both channels seem to be, No swearing, no smoking, no alcohol. And good Clean fun! AND I heard her pray before breakfast. Both channels are truly Family friendly. Thank you!
And to think...Brooke set this entire camp up by herself. Kudos to her.
She's the wall tent master
Dave your a poet and adventurer and common sense person love your videos have a good winter don’t have to many cheeseburgers lol
Thanks, but I make no promises regarding cheeseburgers. LOL
Michigander here . Love you guys . My husband and I are in the process of buying a little piece of U P heaven ourselves. Get out and get happy ! Best words ever ! Thank you for sharing your amazing knowledge and ideas!

The space looks nice all cleared out and the old camper gone. Nice and neat area. Your projects are awesome!!
Good luck and God Bless you to. Happy Trails
Thanks, you too!
Putting the camp to bed for the long winter.
Dave, I'd be anxious to break that table & benches down, make up some simple templates to reproduce! What a great over-winter project!
Bet they'd sell like hotcakes?
That's one of the coolest tables I've ever seen !
Dave Stelling yes very cool table !
I'd buy a copy!
your probably right. It would be pretty easy.
Watching you break camp and pack up gave me a sad feeling. Great video......................
Thanks
You should build a box for that tent. I know you guys enjoyed it a whole lot there, and you're going to miss it. But soon you will be back again and make it look all pretty again. You both have a wonderfully blessed day.
Thanks
Cool break down camp video Dave...love all the little b-roll clips here n there... and your calm voiceover narrating...

The snow stinks but it keeps a lot of those city dwellers from overrunning our area! Great video!
well said
OMG! That table is a beauty!
What a wonderful video...soothing to this city soul in DC area. Been following your entire journey to this piece of paradise! Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and well. 🙋♀️
Glad you enjoyed it! thanks

Your just as easy going as your wife Brook no wonder you guys make everything seem so easy
Those peg furniture is very common here in Sweden, and every old cabin and homesteads has benches, tables, sofas and even beds in that "flatpack" style. Maybe it is the precursor to IKEA? Haha! Thank you for this year at the UP, cant wait for next year and what you guys are up to then!
That table they have makes IKEA look, well... just horrible ! Lol.
Thanks!
Love the video Dave! You and Brooke make such a great team. I remember when Brooke surprised you the first time you went there. It's been so enjoyable following you guys...hardest working couple. My husband and I worked together on many builds back in the day...they were the best days of my life!!! Thanks again Dave..take care!!

I love your videos. I wish that in my younger days I had chosen my priorities more carefully. Nonetheless, your videos still give me great pleasure.
Great Video 🏆

A worthy goal indeed... and a great video as always. We've already got six inches of snow here in Delta... yee haw! Let the games begin... Thanks for sharing.

love the way you two work together
Hello from Michigan! It's hard to understand the UP snowfall if you haven't been here. Nice to see you enjoying our beautiful state.
Extremely enjoyable. Thank you. Well done.
Love watching you both working together, I always learn something new and interesting every time. Stay safe Dave and Brooke 🌞 you've described my northern Ontario winters, we love visiting northern Michigan, st. Ignace, Petoskey, Traverse City, and all the little communities in between 💕
Thanks 👍 We love Ontario too!
Beautiful country, The UP is like Tug Hill in NY, in terms of snow. Measured in yards, good old Lake Effect. Those cheeseburgers sound amazing.
Right on.
It's beautiful there. So peaceful so quiet. I would hate to leave. But you can come back in the spring. Like you said always something more to do.
thanks
You mentioned the U.P’s snow fall amount being so much more than Alaska’s. I went back to Chicago for Christmas one year for 5 days.

We did, great burgers. Thanks
It socks when camping season comes to an end take care really enjoyed watching.
Thanks
Thanks for a good video. A ball valve should be 1/4 turned to keep it from breaking the housing when it freezes.
Sorry to see your time in the U.P. end for now. Looking forward to more videos over the winter. Nice table !
thanks
It’s hard to believe summer is over and snow is imminent! God bless you guys😇😇😇
Thanks
Very nice, good to have someone you work well with 👍👍
Thanks 👍
Gosh it seems like yesterday we got to see Brooke set it all up. It is only fitting we get to see you dismantle it all...can not wait for the Spring...Denise....

Loved watching your video there's something peaceful about reclining in my chair watching someone work. Lol
Thanks for sharing this video, interesting and informative.
..good one, one season ends and time to get ready for the next..lol..stay safe and enjoy...
Thanks, you too!

Your property looks like ours now, nothing left but the picnic table, the outhouse and the fire ring. Oh... and lots of trees. Cat wait for spring already.

Thanks Kirsten
You guys picked the perfect time to break camp ,keep the video's coming.
We will!
Enjoy the next several months can’t wait to see you set up again in the spring. The price of lumber is ridiculous it’s like that everywhere this fall. Stay safe and God Bless.
Thanks
Gonna have to check out that drive in next time I get to St. Ignace ... thanks for the tip :) God Bless you and yours

So sad to see you leave for the winter. Looking forward to your videos in the spring time on your Michigan property.

Congratulations on 24 years. Hope you get 24 more as exciting as the first Dave. Great camp tear down. Take care.
Thanks 👍
That looks like a perfect way to spend a day. 🤘🇺🇸

Love the table and benches. Time to move on to the next phase of life. I enjoyed this part.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You are one very cool guy. Absolutely love your perspective and the way you approach and enjoy life. All the best to you and Brooke. You guys are really great people!
it's disheartening to see a camp being disassembled, and it was a great camp I love you twos posts to the max.
