  • There's never a bad time to build a good bushcraft shelter- a place of calm respite, a place to get away from it all.... but now is especially important to get outside, get some fresh air- and GET HAPPY! I've been eyeing this spot for a while and it's time for a new shelter. Big blow-down here has provided a gorgeous amount of timber to use. Shelters need one thing.... A LOT OF MATERIAL! So this spot is gonna be great for building a shelter and also long term use for firewood. PLUS- it's right next to a cool bog and pond..... maybe some fishing is in my future!
    Enjoy the sights and sounds of SPRING in Michigan. :)

    Booke, The quietness of your video is so soothing and natural when we walk alone in nature. We, your fans all enjoy the serenity that you bring with your journeys out, and are truly greatful that you bring us along.

    In such times of confusion,fear and desperation we have to remember to appreciate Mother earth and how well you demonstrated that through your quiet stillness, recognizing the power of a tree, beautiful trickle sound of water, the crisp crunch of leaves. Thank you for spreading your seeds of gratitude of Mother Earth among us.

    Thank you for sharing your life! I pretty much grew up around Manton but I haven't been back since the '80s. Your video reminded me of what Michigan is really about. We're about to buy property near Lake City. My wife and I walked through the woods of the property and I just wanted to sit and listen and smell it all, it felt like I was home again. Thank you both for your work and for reminding us that God is all around us. God Bless and SemperFi!

    Less said, and the crunching of leaves/
    The sound of a squirrel in the trees/
    And the song of frogs echoing in the thickets/
    And the girl and dog/
    And the cuttings of log/
    And the bark of the dog/
    And the soft voice: "It's OK."/
    Yes, it is OK/
    IT'S OK./

    Hey Brooke! Great to see you and Maisy out and about! To be honest I just wish your videos were longer, no bs. I write and so have to read a lot, so it's nice to just have a head-chill on your channel. No research, no deadlines, no headwork.
    It's the equivalent of ambient music in the living-room - but in visual form for the brain to disengage. This is the main reason I watch a lot of bushcraft videos, because I'd probably be clueless in the wild myself lol. This summer though, I do intend to 'Get out and get happy' - your signature line, eh? :-) Happy thoughts :-)

    Before my back, knees and hips went bad, I loved going to flea markets and junk/antique stores. I always checked out tools, rustic decor and books. Oh, books. 💙💚💜 One of my last finds was a copy of "Your Own Book of Campcraft" by Catherine T. Hammett of the American Camping Association, 1957 edition. I also found a copy of the "SAS Survival Guide" and I picked up a copy of "The Zombie Survival Guide" at a library book sale, just to round out my knowledge. 👍👍 Love your content, can't do any of it myself now so I live vicariously thru you. 👍👍
