    Hi Brian... Your very talented at carpentry and you can do Chinese knots too...that was beautiful.... . I read a lot of medical journals and the recent one said that eating meat and especially processed meat destroys the good bacteria in your gut and you eat meat with every breakfast... Maybe that is contributing towards your vomiting? Also a while back I read some research that linked microwaves and stomach cancer.... I am telling you for purely selfish reasons... I would like to see you bushcraft for a very long time.

    I would like to ask for a small favour, Brian. Can you try to perform a front lever in your next training video, even with one knee tucked in? I think that if a 250-pound man, who can deadlift and squat over 700 pounds and has a vertical jump to-the-moon, if this man can perform a front lever, it would be freaking awesome! Great condent once again. Keep up! Thank you for doing what you do!

    Thank you for sharing your new hobby with us.
    I hope I'm wrong, but I believe this whole pandemic (and other misc. insanity) is the government or some other group's attempt to control and/or destroy humanity.
    I'm a Christian and I believe Jesus will rescue those who trust in him as God's provision for mankind. I believe learning survival skills, which are basic human skills we've mostly lost, are super beneficial and could even be life saving.
    All that is a roundabout way to say THANK YOU for showing us your journey to learning these really cool skills. Learning them, worst case scenario, makes a person more interesting and more useful in general. Thank you and God bless you Yeshua's mighty name :)
