Agreed, I hate seeing the woods full of garbage. I hunt on public land and during hunting season you can tell where everyone has been hunting. Snack wrappers, tin cans and bottles everywhere. I usually spend the first hunt or two picking up on my way out.
I was in Idaho Southeast Idaho up I-15 to the North almost to Montana in an area called medicine Lodge. We were just kind of scouting out the place driving on a few logging roads. Found a place we thought we could hunt and flush some deer out of some of the groves of trees. I walked up a draw I mean walked a long damn way up this draw. I don't know how high I was but it was pretty high. Not an incredibly difficult walk no trail I was just blazing my own. But anyway I get way up the draw and decide to sit down and rest for a minute. Built a little fire to warm myself up a little bit. Make a small pot of coffee. Then I noticed about five water bottles just sitting there about 5 yards away from where I was. These were those little individual water bottles. The ones that once you're done using them you can smash them down to make them easier to carry. Someone had just left a pile of them out there who knows why. I carried them out though However I may have people mad at me about this but I'm kind of glad that back in the day when my dad was young and of course further back people also left things out in the woods. Back then there was really no notion of carrying your stuff out. I'm talking about old pop bottles maybe something really good like a pocket knife,old tobacco tins what have you. I have a lifetime of memories in those old items that our ancestors left out there. Not saying that people should leave their junk out in the woods. Then again I have had a ton of fun finding old items out in the woods. A while back I found a beer can. Talking ancient beer can. The kind you had to take a can opener and puncture two holes in it across from each other. That way you had one to drink from and another one to let air in so that the beer would actually come out. No pop tops nothing. And the tin is so strong the can is so strong you probably couldn't dent it with a 3 lb mallet. Of course by picking up these antique treasures I am leaving the woods better than I found them. And I am collecting a treasure trove of items that remind me of good times out in the woods. Interestingly enough I've had people get annoyed with me for a cleaning stuff up. We do a lot of fishing in a reservoir east of Idaho falls towards Jackson hole called ririe reservoir. Kind of reminds me of a large river as it winds through canyons where it makes the water especially deep. They originally just Damned up a creek But once it started backing up the water it became very deep we've had places where our depth finder has bottomed out at 150 to 250 ft And it's likely still deeper than that. It winds through a canyon that's fairly wide but fairly deep thus the deep water over the years. Anyway in the last years when we've had drought conditions the water has dropped significantly. The Banks are heavily lined with lava rock to try to mitigate erosion. We live in a high desert area there where there was lots of volcanic activity and lava rock is used for a lot. Quite a few old houses built from lava rock very cool. Anyway some years when the water was down I'd spend time up on the banks cleaning up. Because the bank is lined with lava rock there was a lot of the junk caught up on the bank in the rock. It's kind of like a natural trap for junk because once it settles down into that rock bank it really doesn't move. At any rate my dad and my cousin would big extremely pissed and annoyed because I was up cleaning up junk rather than fishing. I just wanted to clean stuff up didn't care as much about fishing. I've done a ton of fishing in my life and caught a lot of fish and I could forgo catching a few fish that day in place of cleaning up junk that at some point would be covered again with water. Golden opportunity to clean crap out of the water. And we're talking lots of crap. Like those cheap styrofoam coolers all over the place. Plus you get opportunities to find treasures that you can use later on. Found a whole lot of fishing lures. once in a while you find a really nice piece of equipment like a Gerber or a Leatherman or something of that nature. Find lots of things that you can use. And as I've said before about finding antique treasures you find those as well. However that one thing that did creep me out a little bit was watching out for rattlesnakes. There are tons of rattlesnakes up there and wandering around picking stuff up on a rock lined bank your just looking to run into a rattlesnake. Although I never did and that situation. But you do see a few. They also have several other snakes up there there's a big some kind of water snake that is prevalent up there. I think it feeds and no small part rattlesnakes. Anyway I guess I'm saying make it a fun game finding trash in the woods. Never ending supply of cool antiques. Many of them not worth a lot of money but bring up good memories. Certainly worth keeping in your man cave. The antiques that you find in the woods are the same kind of things that you would bring into the woods.
I understand where you're coming from. I've found a bunch of cool stuff that people have tossed out in the woods.....even a fold up hunting chair! I hate seeing it but like you, I love a good find.
I'm so happy you started this channel.. always room to teach survival skills, I hope children find you because this isn't taught in school or by many parents.. What you and Brooke are doing for your children are priceless... Glad to be here
I’m a big fan of Brooke’s and now yours. You’re a great couple and your boys are so well taken care of. You’re both so smart and raising them right! Good luck with your channel!
Agree totally to leaving things cleaner than you found them. I like watching your handsome husband teach us emergency preps. I admire the way he loves you and his children.....a real man.
A comment from your awesome wifes' channel brought me here. You guys have raised sweet and humble kids. Makes my ❤ smile. Well done! 🇺🇲 And THANK YOU for your Service, Sir! I appreciate you very much!
Bro, your channel was recommended to us because we watch Brooke's channel often - we wish you and your family the very best. Brooke seems like such a lovely lady - please take care. I hope you realize just how very blessed ya'll truly are!
Great video! So happy Brooke talked you into doing your own channel. Have loved watching your family with Brooke and now it’s nice that you will share survival skills with us in this day and age we need it. My husband was ARMY and we have bags for each of us too.
Thank you, yeah, it took her a while to convince me. All I hope is to help someone that needs it. It's great that you guys are prepared. Tell your husband I said HOOAH! and stay ARMY STRONG!
A multi-tool, a poncho, a space blanket, a whistle and a lighter is the quickest way to go. Along with safety pins, duct tape and shoe lace replacements.
"Cuz on the go, you'll have to go" Truer words were never spoken 😅! Super glue can also close minor cuts in an emergency, skin is our first line of defense against bacterial infection!
Thank you Dusty for your service. I am not a survivalist but am indeed a prepper. However, I think your go to items could also be helpful for those of us who live in colder climates. I am from The Great State of Maine and in winter most of us carry extra items to keep us warm and comfortable in case of an accident. ALSO, I have several pair of the rubber palmed gloves from Dollar Tree. I keep a pair in my car to use when pumping gas, a pair for when I use cleaners at home, and another pair plus face mask when cleaning kitty litter boxes.
If one Brooke & Dusty channel is good, two are going to be PHENOMENAL. I commented on your tarp video on Brooke's chanel l that I would be sunk if I ever have to evacuate in an emergency. 🤣🤣 I think your channel is going to be great. You & Brooke are changing lives and helping so many people. ♥️♥️♥️
So excited you have your own channel!! I love Brooke and the boys, and you too! Y'all are truly helping so many families right now. Keep up the great work!!
My husband is all about survival! He'll watch Brooke's videos with me, but your channel is more his speed. We are so glad you started a channel. Keep up the good work and God bless you and your family.
Thanks! I've looked for info like this before and just about every video they have $500 worth of stuff put together. Us po folk might wanna survive too
Thank you so much for watching my video! Same here, that's why I decided to show that you don't need $1,000 worth of gear to be able to survive if things ever go south.
Thank you for being there for those who are trying to help and learn themselves on how to survive and still have a great life using our heads by living within our means frugally!
OMG... This is from the good looking outdoors husband....southern frugal momma. Yah!!😍 You too on board with each other 😉. Love it 😊 Good woman always has a good man 💕🙂💕🙂. .many blessings to you all.
Very helpful information! Everyone needs to know this stuff! My uncle's deer stand broke with him in it and he fell and broke his leg really really bad he was down in the mountains with nobody with him he was alone for four hours like that until someone came looking for him! Your channel may very well help someone just like him
There’s several things I never thought of! Like a multi tool, zip ties, and baby powder! This is awesome! Only thing my daddy would say is missing is an extra pair of socks and underwear! I’m making a bug out bag this weekend!
I FINALLY found your channel. Thanks Brooke for linking it today in y'alls Sunday supper with that awesome looking pulled pork Dusty made 💖. Now to binge watch a little 😊!
I found your wife’s channel today. Started watching random videos and seen a bracelet your son was wearing. Had to subscribe to my fellow Patriots 😁🇺🇸. THEN I found you, Mr. Dusty! Thank you for sharing and raising a great family. I’m enjoying all the tips I’m learning for you all.
I started carrying a little prepped bag with me about a year ago. After 2020 I decided having at least a little in the way of survival on me at all times would be a good idea. I found your wife’s channel and love her! She’s so cute! I’ve started building my pantry and adding some means of self sufficiency around the house. I actually got to use my backup battery this summer when there was a rolling blackout. I was able to keep me and my dogs cool with a box fan and my fridge plugged in until the power came back on. I used to think Prepping was conspiracy nonsense. Wanna be military people hoping for some Red Dawn nonsense. But the older I get the more I realize the system we rely on is terribly faulty, and prepping is really about just being able to take care of yourself every time that system fails.
Found your channel from watching your wife!! I LOVE your wife,she is so amazing and so are your beautiful boys!! You have an incredible family Dusty❤... I have learned and am still learning so much from your wife so I'm super excited to see what I can learn from you!! Also THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE ,I come from a Military background and have nothing but the UP MOST respect for YOU!!
Hi Dusty, enjoyed this video. Thank you. Love Brook and boys. Great family. I learn alot from Brook, now I'm going to learn from you. God bless you and your family. 🇬🇧
Been watching Brooke's channel for months. Glad she talked you into starting your own channel. It's always good to be prepared for emergencies and I'm looking forward to see your suggestions.
Thank you for your service! - Great video on dollar tree preps. I'm looking forward to your survival tips. Good luck on your channel. New sub here! - Brooke sent me !
Beyond happy I found Brooke and now your doing survival! She's prep, and your survival!! Talk about the DREAM TEAM! ♥ Thank you so much, WTG and can't wait for more of your videos! Heading to the $1.25 Tree tomorrow! Thank you again!
Your beautiful wife sent me over to your site blessings on your new adventures, looking forward to all the tips thanks for sharing we love the great outdoors. 👍 🏕🏞🌳🍁🍂
Love this! I’m so glad Brooke talked you into making these videos. Keep them coming. I’m definitely going to be stocking up on these things. Thank you!
Dusty this was a great video, as a female I never even check the dollar tree for some of those items. I definitely will now though. I appreciate your video, you and your wife are amazing people. Thank you both for sharing things with us.
What a grand idea for a channel- budget survival! And I'd love to see a video on starting a fire, several different ways, because you never know what you'll have or not have in an emergency. Also, perhaps a video on scavenging for food- like how can you tell what's good from what could kill you I'm excited to see more videos!
Thank you Dusty! When we grow up in the City we are not taught these skills. I will watch every video, as I need to have what you know. 🙏🏼 Very well presented and edited- I loved it!
Great job Dusty! I would love to hear more. A compass/maps video would be great as would a outdoor cooking video i.e. pocket rocket or just building a fire.
Hi, Dusty! Took me a minute to place you. You looked familiar and I like your calm sensible info and explanations. So searched your info and see you are married to one of my favorite you tubers! I watch her all the time and learn a lot from her so now I can learn even more from both of you! 😊 Keep up the good work, love your family ♥️ and of course I subscribed. Have a blessed day.
Thank you so much! That's how I'm going to approach it, with more or less basic camping skills then work my way up to the lines of "survival" techniques.
Came on over from your amazing wife's channel. Thank you for doing this. I always thought my husband crazy and now I'm like welp he's not but it is outta my comfort zone for sure. Especially being a mom who homeschools and is from the city originally.
It can be a little overwhelming but one thing I've learned in life is some of our greatest triumphs come while doing things outside of our comfort zone.. Thank you so much for watching!
Awesome! Didnt know u had a channel as well! I adore your wife! Yall are all good country folk. It makes me homesick for Tennessee but for the moment I'm stuck in Mississippi making the most of it. Great channel. God bless u and all your family.
Super stoked to find your channel! Sensible and cost effective preps! I'm looking forward to learning from you! I'd love to see your thoughts on which cookware for " camping" is best and what you suggest to dehydrate for meals on the go. Thank you for your service sir!
Thank you for sharing all of that information. I would like to see a video on how to start a fire. I am a city girl, so I don't know anything about survival skills. It's something I should learn.
I'm glad to see such a great family assisting others by showing how to prepare. Many content creators are just talking about various problems and not giving any kind of solutions. Many thanks, to both you and Brooke for your wonderful content. I am looking forward to many other videos. Plus your boys are adorable...just sayin!
Great video. Very informative- things seen by other eyes. I love your wife's channel and I am loving yours. Thank you for your service and God Bless. 😊
New subscriber here. Wow that's a lot of good stuff to have. Appreciate all the hard work. This has been very helpful. My husband was a hunter when he was younger. He passed away sixteen years ago. He is dearly missed. Fun fact: In the 50's 60's and 70's he kept his family going by hunting many many rabbits on their 6 acre ranch. His mom could use that meat to make so many things for lunch and dinner. Thanks again ...I will pass your channel to others. Sincerely, Debbie and Dexter-Dog my silly rescued Chihuahua companion living a quiet crafty life in southern California. 👍👍✝️🇺🇸
WELCOME ABOARD! Thank you very much! It's always good to know how to get meat in the worst happens, great story! Thank you again for watching and for your support!
Kind of an American tradition during the hard times. Many young men during the depression had to feed their families. I've read accounts of mothers handing their sons one or two bullets And telling them to come home with me or their brothers and sisters would go hungry that night. Built a lot of character I bet your husband was a great man full of character and knowledge and wisdom. My dad actually grew up in a one room cabin till he was about 10, no electricity telephone or running water. I knew many guys that grew up and train cars. When the railroad would want to get rid of some of their older train cars people would buy them and roll them onto their property. Put them on a foundation whatever they could build and voila there was their home. We're not that far back from times when people had no TV radio running water telephone who had to go out and find their own fun and also go out and hunt and trap and fish and help their families out. Fortunately when my dad was younger much of my grandpa's ranch was a swamp. I grew up on the high desert on the Snake River plane. The South work in the North fork of the Snake River came together just north and east of my house. There was a back channel with a Snake River that ran from high up on the South fork down wound all the way through my county and went right through my grandpa's ranch. It dumped into the main channel of the river again just down for my ranch. Anyway The ranch was mostly sloughs And they were full of huge fish. Not just big fish stories there are pictures. 10 15 20 lb trout. My grandpa caught one one time I brought it home and there was a snake and a mouse in it. My great grandmother wouldn't touch it. But plenty of opportunities to bring home food for your family. Go out to work the ranch and leave several fishing poles in the slew to grab after work. Anyway cool story about your husband helping feed his family. There are certainly a few stories out there like that.
I'm from Murfreesboro and I watch your wife's channel and she sent me. Since you're always taking the boys camping I would appreciate anything you can teach us.
Hello 👋 my outdoors friend, greetings from Northern California. Thank you for sharing this most informative video. All the best to you. Stay safe out there. 🤗
Awesome starter video and great tips. I look forward to seeing more of your videos and learning how to survive in the woods. Thank You for your Service to our Country 💗
Great haul! Can't wait to see your tips in the future cause you never know where this crazy world is going!. Got any plans for cast iron cooking on a fire? Maybe a Collab with Brooke 👍🏻
These items are good for anybody to have on hand. I love your and Brookes videos and your family. You’re both so smart and down to earth. Your boys are wonderful too ❤❤
Love it when you said you always leave the woods cleaner than you found it! Too many need to learn this.
Agreed, I hate seeing the woods full of garbage. I hunt on public land and during hunting season you can tell where everyone has been hunting. Snack wrappers, tin cans and bottles everywhere. I usually spend the first hunt or two picking up on my way out.
I want to say the same thing. That is our family motto. From my grandparents through my grandkids.
Agree 💯👍
I was in Idaho Southeast Idaho up I-15 to the North almost to Montana in an area called medicine Lodge.

Thank you so much! I've just been completely blown away by all the support from you guys! Again.....thank you from the bottom of my heart!
How did I go months watching Southern Frugal Momma and not know about your channel? LOL Thank you. This is great!
You're welcome!
I know I just found his channel myself.
Thank you Dusty. Good to see that you’ve started your channel after encouraging your wife to get started.

We also keep matches in our bags. We dip them in wax to make them waterproof. My husband and I each keep a bag like that in our trunk.
Thank you for being there for those who are trying to help and learn themselves on how to survive and still have a great life using our heads by living within our means frugally!
Thank you for the support!

Thank you so much!
Great job, you have a way of explaining things that even I can understand. I hope you and Brooke and the boys can take that camping trip.
I'm a fluff from New York so I don't think I'll ever need these tips. But I will watch cuz ya never know. Welcome to UA-cam Dusty! ✌️
Thank you so much!
I really enjoy Dusty and Brook's channels, put more of the kids on, like when you went camping.
Hi Dusty! Thank you for your service! Great video! I can't wait to learn more from you. Thanks for sharing! Have a great day!
You're welcome and thank you for watching!
That bag would be good to keep in the car at all times. Good list to start with. Thanks Dusty! Love you and your family.
Thank you so much! Yeah it went straight in my trunk. I'm gonna use it in a video so you guys can see what I bought in "action" lol
Great information Mr. Dusty, Thanks for sharing
You are very welcome! Thank you for watching!
Sent by Brooke and will be sending this channel to my husband, it is right up his alley!
Your beautiful wife sent me over to your site blessings on your new adventures, looking forward to all the tips thanks for sharing we love the great outdoors. 👍 🏕🏞🌳🍁🍂
Thank you so much!
Love this! I’m so glad Brooke talked you into making these videos. Keep them coming. I’m definitely going to be stocking up on these things. Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Hi Dusty. I have been following your sweet wife for a while and was delighted to learn you have a channel now too. Blessings!
Dusty this was a great video, as a female I never even check the dollar tree for some of those items. I definitely will now though. I appreciate your video, you and your wife are amazing people. Thank you both for sharing things with us.
You are very welcome! Thank you for watching!
Yay! I'm so excited for you! You're going to do great things. ❤
Thank you so much!
I'm so excited about your new channel!!! Thanks Brooke n awesome kids for talking him into it. We owe yall now
Lol, thank you for watching!
Your beautiful wife sent me, best of luck with the channel.
Thank you so much!
Great tips those tarps are currently trailer skirting and they are holding up well
If gauze is scarce for first aid purposes, cheesecloth from the canning section is a great substitute.
Great video! So glad Brooke talked you into this!!
Thank you! I just hope I can be half as good as she is lol
What a grand idea for a channel- budget survival! And I'd love to see a video on starting a fire, several different ways, because you never know what you'll have or not have in an emergency. Also, perhaps a video on scavenging for food- like how can you tell what's good from what could kill you I'm excited to see more videos!
I'll be covering all of those subjects in this series. Stay tuned, the next one is this morning!
Great Job great information.I look forward to more videos.
Thank you so much!
Great first video. And we agree you should always leave nature cleaner than you found it. Looking forward to more videos.
Thank you!
Thank you Dusty! When we grow up in the City we are not taught these skills. I will watch every video, as I need to have what you know. 🙏🏼 Very well presented and edited- I loved it!
Than you do much for the encouragement!
Brooke sent me...by force, gosh! She's mean! 😁
Happy to subscribe! Look forward to your frugal survival tips! Congrats on your new channel!
Lol, thank you so much!
@@BudgetSurvivalist I support you and your content, totally, and it doesn't hurt that we are Notre Dame fans!
@@dianaoliver8493 We may need to employ some of these survival skills just to make it through this season lol GO IRISH!
Excited to see more ! Thank you !
Great job Dusty! I would love to hear more. A compass/maps video would be great as would a outdoor cooking video i.e. pocket rocket or just building a fire.
Way to go Dusty!! Your family is awesome!
Thank you so much!
Hi, Dusty! Took me a minute to place you. You looked familiar and I like your calm sensible info and explanations. So searched your info and see you are married to one of my favorite you tubers! I watch her all the time and learn a lot from her so now I can learn even more from both of you! 😊 Keep up the good work, love your family ♥️ and of course I subscribed. Have a blessed day.
Hi Dusty, Brooke sent me. Looking forward to your content. Have fun with it. Please cover basics as some viewers will have just started their journey.
Thank you so much! That's how I'm going to approach it, with more or less basic camping skills then work my way up to the lines of "survival" techniques.
I'm definitely going to have to re-do my bug out bag. Thanks for the practical information, Dusty!
You're welcome, thank you for watching!
Came on over from your amazing wife's channel. Thank you for doing this. I always thought my husband crazy and now I'm like welp he's not but it is outta my comfort zone for sure. Especially being a mom who homeschools and is from the city originally.
It can be a little overwhelming but one thing I've learned in life is some of our greatest triumphs come while doing things outside of our comfort zone.. Thank you so much for watching!
Great video. Look forward to more. Thank you for your service!
Thank you for the support and you're welcome!
Awesome! Didnt know u had a channel as well! I adore your wife! Yall are all good country folk. It makes me homesick for Tennessee but for the moment I'm stuck in Mississippi making the most of it. Great channel. God bless u and all your family.
Thank you so much! I hope you get to come back up and at least visit.
Super stoked to find your channel! Sensible and cost effective preps! I'm looking forward to learning from you! I'd love to see your thoughts on which cookware for " camping" is best and what you suggest to dehydrate for meals on the go.
Thank you for your service sir!
I'll be sure to let you guys know!
Thank you for sharing all of that information. I would like to see a video on how to start a fire. I am a city girl, so I don't know anything about survival skills. It's something I should learn.
I'm glad to see such a great family assisting others by showing how to prepare. Many content creators are just talking about various problems and not giving any kind of solutions. Many thanks, to both you and Brooke for your wonderful content. I am looking forward to many other videos. Plus your boys are adorable...just sayin!
Thank you so much!
Good job Dusty, this is good practical advice that anyone can use!!
Thank you so much!
Thanks Dusty 😊
You are very welcome!
Thank you for the helpful ideas for a bug out bag !
You are very welcome, thank you for watching!
Great video we want to see how to use some of those supplies, thanks
That's actually a pretty good idea! I'll do that. Thanks for the feedback.
Love this dusty!! Super helpful and great tips!
Thank you so much!
Thank you Dusty!
You are very welcome!
Great video. Very informative- things seen by other eyes. I love your wife's channel and I am loving yours. Thank you for your service and God Bless. 😊
Thank you so much for the support!
Hi Dusty came over from your wife. This is my jam right up my ally prepping since 2017
Good deal! Glad to have you! Stay tuned there's a whole lot more to come!
Hey!! Good to see you!
Thank you, I hope my content is at least half as good as Brooke's. Lol
New subscriber here. Wow that's a lot of good stuff to have. Appreciate all the hard work. This has been very helpful. My husband was a hunter when he was younger. He passed away sixteen years ago. He is dearly missed. Fun fact: In the 50's 60's and 70's he kept his family going by hunting many many rabbits on their 6 acre ranch. His mom could use that meat to make so many things for lunch and dinner. Thanks again ...I will pass your channel to others. Sincerely, Debbie and Dexter-Dog my silly rescued Chihuahua companion living a quiet crafty life in southern California. 👍👍✝️🇺🇸
WELCOME ABOARD! Thank you very much! It's always good to know how to get meat in the worst happens, great story! Thank you again for watching and for your support!
Kind of an American tradition during the hard times. Many young men during the depression had to feed their families. I've read accounts of mothers handing their sons one or two bullets And telling them to come home with me or their brothers and sisters would go hungry that night.
Built a lot of character I bet your husband was a great man full of character and knowledge and wisdom.
My dad actually grew up in a one room cabin till he was about 10, no electricity telephone or running water.
I knew many guys that grew up and train cars. When the railroad would want to get rid of some of their older train cars people would buy them and roll them onto their property. Put them on a foundation whatever they could build and voila there was their home. We're not that far back from times when people had no TV radio running water telephone who had to go out and find their own fun and also go out and hunt and trap and fish and help their families out.
Fortunately when my dad was younger much of my grandpa's ranch was a swamp. I grew up on the high desert on the Snake River plane. The South work in the North fork of the Snake River came together just north and east of my house. There was a back channel with a Snake River that ran from high up on the South fork down wound all the way through my county and went right through my grandpa's ranch. It dumped into the main channel of the river again just down for my ranch.
Anyway The ranch was mostly sloughs And they were full of huge fish. Not just big fish stories there are pictures. 10 15 20 lb trout. My grandpa caught one one time I brought it home and there was a snake and a mouse in it. My great grandmother wouldn't touch it.
But plenty of opportunities to bring home food for your family. Go out to work the ranch and leave several fishing poles in the slew to grab after work.
Anyway cool story about your husband helping feed his family.
There are certainly a few stories out there like that.
Great to see you and your channel. This 69 year old grandmas can learn all your tips and tricked. Debi in Vicksburg, MS. 🥰🥰
Thank you so much for watching!
I love your wife’s channel! Make more videos! 😁

I'm from Murfreesboro and I watch your wife's channel and she sent me. Since you're always taking the boys camping I would appreciate anything you can teach us.
Thank you so much!

Great haul! Can't wait to see your tips in the future cause you never know where this crazy world is going!. Got any plans for cast iron cooking on a fire? Maybe a Collab with Brooke 👍🏻
Great idea, Brooke is amazing when it comes to cooking on an open fire. I'll see if we can put something together real soon
Perfect video idea! Totally for it!
those kitchen bags can also protect you from rain in an emergency 🙂
Hi liked and subscribed from Brooke's channel! I had a bunch of this stuff but never thought of baby powder thank you for the tips!!!

That Brunswick canned meat is where I am from lol New Brunswick Canada wow I can not believe we a small fisheries have gone that far
Gotta say, you guys are doing it right up there, love that stuff!
Great to take with you hunting and fishing. Never know when you need any of that 🙂 I’d add a good role of duct tape too and tick and bug repellent.
Great ideas!
These items are good for anybody to have on hand. I love your and Brookes videos and your family. You’re both so smart and down to earth. Your boys are wonderful too ❤❤
Thank you so much for the kind words!
