      My youngest granddaughter took a job in Montana this summer clearing brush. Living in a tent . Fire prevention.
      We are all amazed and so proud. What will she do from here. 😊 She just turned 22 up there. One of her coworkers give her a cake. She sends me pictures. 🏕️🪓🪚

    Nice interview with valuable information and not just for women but anyone seeking something different. I'm older but it hasn't stopped me from trying something new, "You can't teach an old dog new tricks---yes you can, the difference is, does the dog want to learn?"
    I'm anticipating the log cabin video from Brooke, everything she does she sticks with it with determination.

    Jim, that was wonderful as are you. I have watched your(and Ted’s) channel and enjoyed your content! I only follow a few wilderness channels. You guys and Tori and Heather are awesome. Brooke is my girl. I have immense love and respect for her love of nature and for her fun loving yet audacious spirit in tackling projects that would take some several men to compete. To me, you are all wilderness legends. Thank you all.

    @suseyq4559 8 месяцев назад +6

    Brook, you filmed one of my favorite videos. So much so, I shared it with my husband. Which one? The A frame when you couldn’t get the window/side to close. You tried and tried and tried to close it, adjust this, unscrewing that. You forgot you tied a rope to hold it up. It’s my favorite because it’s something any of us could easily have done and have! Thanks a bunch Jim, Brooke and Dave….love your channels!

  • @KMLifeadventure
    @KMLifeadventure 8 месяцев назад +3

    Two of my favorite youtubers. I remember watching the alone show you were on, comparing your experience but wanting you to both win. Brook should of stayed in her first shelter and the Baird bros didn't have a good shelter at all. So good to hear Brooke's adventures. I think Brooks raft trip is on RUclips, I have watched it. Every kid that liked Huckleberry finn always wanted to build a raft...cheers

  • @majordave4789
    @majordave4789 8 месяцев назад +2

    Love these podcasts and adventure stories, so inspiring. What would be cool Jimbo is if you asked your guest to bring pics of their adventures and include them in the video. Like a pic of Brooke on that river raft or of her and Mike in the Aleutian Islands.

  • @lindacupps6980

    Hearing you talk with Jim reminds me of my husband and I lived. We worked very hard for what what we had. Wouldn't change any of our lives. 38 years knowing it will be hard. He developed
    Rumatoid arthritis, early on. But we made it worth living. Went through three power chairs.
    We lived in a convered school bus with three little girles. They talk about the memories.
    We did a lot of working for others. But that was ok. We played with others peaple toys.😊

    That was a great interview! I love Brooke's 'Girl in the Woods' RUclips Channel. I think I have watched all her videos, some even more then once. I live in Michigan and love her Upper Peninsula videos. Her passion for nature is contagious. I have loved nature my whole life and she inspires me to love it even more. I say, 'Get outside and get happy' often.

    Loved watching this-rewatched your season to re- fresh memory of it all. Would be amazing if you had the father and son team's from your season ( or the other bro to bro teams) on your podcast to compare familial experience. They were so humble and sincere. Would love to hear their after story. Feel like it would be important to hear.

  • @stevenwarner7348
    @stevenwarner7348 8 месяцев назад +8

    Brooke so sorry. When you talk about that property in Alaska. I still can not let go of what to do with the Bunker. Just me. I know. No big deal. But I would still say that the Bunker is such a huge asset there. I get it. Not in your plans. Sorry can't help it. Take along some 6ml greenhouse grade (high carbon) plastic, frame a 12 pitch roof - just rafters - with left over logs ~ smooth all the surfaces then cover that with the plastic and you'd at least have a greenhouse kind of setup. It might be cold in the winter but the 12 pitch roof would shed the snow. Just saying. 😜

    What is HARD though?? You have to PICK your hard! Is it easier to have a big amenity filled house that you have to work your ars off to have but never get to actually enjoy life around it because you owe so much on, or doing the "hard" physical labor to make your own place in life enjoying the whole story line getting there?? You, Brooke, have lived the life I actually wanted to do! With the wild fire fighting, leaving and finding a way to live off the land, meeting a guy who compliments that and has the same dreams, etc! To constantly be told "you can't do that(cuz you're a girl)..." yeah....GOOD JOB!!! YOU ARE my adventurous side of me I never got to realize. HOWEVER! I am finally starting to rethink about actually doing these things!! Thanks for the idea of "caretakers gazette" I'm going to check that out!!
