You can support my channel by clicking the PayPal "Donate" button on my channel landing page, or click the "About" link on my channel home page. Thank you!
Don't forget to get out in the woods and get happy ;)
Check out the reviews of my book on Amazon: www.amazon.com...
Hi guys- for those of you looking to donate and can't find the button- it's on my channel landing page- bottom right corner of my header. ON MOBILE- click "About" on home page. You'll find it there. THANK YOU ALL! I can feel the love :)
Sexy pictures of otters will boost your donations.
So sorry about your mishap. Dropping electronics in water doesn't always
have to be "taps" for them. Remove any batteries or power sources
immediately, shake out all the water that you can, and ASAP, put the
device in sealed container full of uncooked white rice (a large "zip
lock bag" will do). Put in enough rice to completely cover the device.
Seal the container and let it sit at room temperature for 24-48 hours.
After that, remove the device, reinstall the battery or connect it to
its power supply, and power it on. It very well may work. We've done
this a number of times with our Kindle Fire XD, a cell phone, and an
iPod Touch - worked for all of them. The iPod touch was dropped into the
toilet bowl and was completely submerged. The others were splashed
really heavily with water, tea, coffee, or wine. Might work for you.
Best of luck with that if you try it, and best wishes all around.
Cheers.
Thanks much for the advice! Sadly- I did all those things and no luck!
haha funny- I have a friend on Facebook who is crazy for otters and is always posting adorable pics... love it!
Your PayPal button is kind of hard to find, but find it we did. Hope you reach your goal and are back in production soon. Best wishes.
Thank you to all who donated! I'm new to the channel.and really enjoying catching up with this lovely lady on her adventures.
My daughters and I donated to help you buy a new camera.
Hey daughter , $ 100.00 headed your way , love your show ... and most of all ... love you .. stay on dry land .. haha 😬
Hey Dad! Wow that is so sweet! Thank you! Aww I love you too. No promises about the dry land ;)
Thanks for helping Mick! We all love your daughters channel!
Mick Bellinger of wish I could give you money
We can't have this girl down in the dumps guys! Open them wallets boys, and lets help Brooke out. Put your money where your faith is....in sharing! Brooke and David both are good people. My life is blessed by what they upload here on UA-cam.I for one am going to help, even if it is a small gift. -Stephen, Ohio
Stephen- that is so kind. Your words mean more than your money- very appreciated! Thanks much and cheers!
10yr ago I dropped a 2way radio in the drink. Turned it off immediately tore it down and put it in warm spot for 7d. Reassembled it and it worked fine.
my bad was i turned it on...
If you removed the battery when the water entered your camera, you can probably save it by leaving it inside an oven for a few hours on low temperature. I got water out of my electronics that way and it worked every time!
I actually have a Sevelor inflatable kayak. I love it.easy to haul and inflate. Sturdier than most people think. And it was reasonably priced in 2003. Great for floating or rivers and small rapids. I have never seen anyone who had an inflatable.
I just donated $5.00; wish it could be more. I was sorry to hear about the loss of your camera; it can happen to anyone. It's good you shared this story because if you don't ask, then people who appreciate your work can't help. The world needs more positive uplifting spirits like you. Thanks for sharing the beauty of Alaska and I hope you are able to share some float footage eventually. PS I recently bought your book and rate it a 2 thumbs up!
My mind at first thought you were saying you gave my book "2 stars"! haha glad it's two thumbs up! THANK YOU so much for your support and kind words- very cool :) Have a great day!
Definitely 5 stars!
Wanting to share is a gr8 thing. You are sharing experiences and educating others. Why else be here?!?!?!?!?
Yep- I really enjoy and hope you all do too! Thanks Chris!
Would get on amazon and send you some top of the line gear if I could.
I was more than happy to help Brooke, wish I could have donated more.
I am sure this awesome community will help you get there pronto! TFS!!
Thanks much Brandon! Appreciate you!
Dropped mine once and letting it dry naturally is best and don't turn it on or off till your sure its dryer out or it will fry. I even dryer out a tv this way. That quit when water dripped in it from a leak.
Sending $10.00 to help with your camera situation....Been there and done that my self... your videos are great and I really enjoy them... Keep being real !
thanks so much! I did get it replaced though!
I joined your channel 2 weeks ago, I like your style of talking and beeing natural!
A dollar from germany is on the way!
Thanks so much Slape Slape!
I will be waiting for your postcard you promised in this video 😆💕
Mistakes are so easy to make; but no matter your honesty and integrity people will act like it couldn't have happened to them; Just keep going, the pain you felt was temporary. You're still here and working...
thanks much!
No no no that's so sad. I'm sorry Brooke that happened to you. I'm going to pray that God will Bless you a 100 fold. It will work out ok I know it will.
Deb Kohli: prayers are always the main ingredient!!
Hey thanks- I absolutely know that it will work out. No worries!
My husband dropped my camera. What a bummer! Watching 4 years after your post.
I finally found the link on your home page and sent a donation
I really appreciate that Dale- Thank you so much!
After reading the comments, I see that this was 2 years ago!!
Brooke, you are an amazing woman! I'm finally getting with the program and getting a comment posted..lol. You've inspired me in ways I could never explain. I don't comment much mostly due to time, but going to try to get better at it. I'm so grateful to be able to help you AND receive such a great offer!! It'll feel like Christmas when it all arrives!! Woowho, can't wait!! Praying you're able to get your new equipment soon, hopefully before your trip right!? God be with you Brooke!! Thanks for being you!! 🌲💐🌞🌳
Wow thank you so much for the kind words! I just shipped out your goodies. Thanks again and hope you enjoy :)
This is the daý the Lord has made and I will rejoice and be glad in It
Psalm 118
Cobberdog Australia
When I wrote that psalm I hand,t seen what happened to your Camera so here,s another one the Lord will supply all my needs I know you are a lady of faith so it will happen
I picked up an Olympus TG-870 for under $300 to use when out on adventures. It fits in your pocket, it's waterproof, dust proof, crush proof, the display flips up for "selfies", and it records surprisingly good audio for a waterproof camera. Every other waterproof camera I've owned you could "scream" at from inches away and barely hear it on the video. Another camera that would be good for kayaking is an Eken H9 action cam for about $80 (can be found for as little as $50.) Comes with the typical Gopro-like waterproof housing and a bunch of mounts.
Yeah gonna have to reexamine how I shoot vids on the water for sure! Thanks Duck Landes- cheers :)
I use the above mentioned cameras for general stuff, and carry my Canon in a dry bag for when I want higher quality photos.
I think that's a great plan!
Oh you poor dear. I need to watch the rest of the video,...getting ready for work.
Have a good night Bud!
Thanks, just got home from work several hours ago and partaking in some beer,...haha,...now I am sort of "mellow yellow. By the way, I will reallly focus on our channel, people should focus and support your channel,. besides that, you are a fellow westcoastian. You are good people, ....so the coloquial anaquronism goes, so to speak.
Thanks appreciate that :)
"No Honey, I'm not." Lol
lolo lolooloolloolol xoxoxox lolololol xoxoxx at the 2.10 moment. i couldn't stop laughing.
Just found this Video. It’s a yr old already. I’m on tree thru house video and how this popped up after looking at puppies squirrels and animal compilations. My iPad likes you. Sorry about the camera but the house n tree ATM is just awe. Boo hoo
wow look at that blue blue ethereal sky......
Turquoise again-pretty cool. In ancient Persian cultures they would use it to heal downcast personalities. No fear of that here. All fun. Mind you the camera got you real suddenly. Good to see you. Mark.
Yeah love turquoise! Even if it's fake :)
So do I Girl in the woods. It features in my business logo that my brother and I set up in the form of a Kingfisher. Wonderful!
God: Brooke, this was My trip with just you. Enjoy.
Brooke, you so much fun.
brutaaaaaaal. hate loosing something useful. glad you did the trip anyway
Yeah I know!!
Omg u made me laugh with the sounds of crying. But im so sorry about camera
You are the coolest chick!! Such an inspiration. When I went hike in camping and was pretty spooked with no people there...I remembered what a badass you are :) keep posting your adventures
LOL thanks Daniella!
I take it hubby is not real big on the concept of whats your is yours and what his is yours... 8-)
Ah, well- not after I dunked my camera! haha
Yep, I inadvertently dropped a brand new phone in a tall glass of ice tea many years ago. Someone told me to put the phone in dry rice, although that wasn't successful. Expensive lessons. 💕
Brooke, I feel your pain. I did the same thing to my camera when I was filming a video on salmon. It was not an $800 camera though. I did end up taking the opportunity to upgrade cameras, but now I'm terrified about dropping my new one. I'll donate a bit, and hope you get enough to replace it, or even upgrade it...though if you're prone to dropping things, maybe an upgrade isn't a great idea.
You have a point about the upgrade- talk about living on pins and needles! I think I need to get some kind of water cam to supplement my other one when doing water stuff... keep the other in a dry bag til I'm on land! Thank you for your donation! Much appreciated my friend!
Hi Brooke, 5 winging its way to you , hope it helps, sent with best regards.
So kind Hedgesider- thank you much!
Brooke, I recommend Olympus Tough cameras. Waterproof and shockproof, small form factor, lots of custom features. I have not used another type for over 8 years.
Yeah I think I've heard of those...!
They are not "professional" cameras like your damaged Nikon, but they really produce amazing pictures for what they are. They are packed full of features and offer high resolution and HD video. Best of all they are rugged and you would never have to worry about dropping them or even dropping them in the water for extended periods of time. They are rated for light diving and underwater pictures and video.
re: the whole camera thing-and how it struck you that you felt it, that you did not have the camera to share that experience...and I went through that a bit(only still photography) and I dunno just came a point awhile back where I started venturing out and about more, without my camera and it actually at first bugged me-like you said was like ooooh I want to get a shot of this and that and then oh yeah I don't have it with me, darn! I don't know if it is a good thing or bad thing either but, I do think in my own case, it benefits me to once in awhile give myself a camera holiday, where it's just me experiencing things without it, just giving myself over to the experience itself without concentrating always(or without experiencing something through the lens) on capturing the moment! happy trails!
Yes I think your right! thanks for watching!
I broke two cameras in the woods over the last 8 years. Luckily they were cheap cameras. So no big loss.
It's a bad feeling huh? Even tho it's cheap... Keep on keepin on!
How depressing! The first year of my channel I used to go film trips in the swamps and wetlands. One trip I had a tripod leg sink in and it fell over. I saw it and heard the sploosh as I was walking towards it. Needless to say I never film in swamps, wetlands rivers or even creeks anymore.. Looks like with all the support you will be good to go pretty soon.
Haha yeah I need to get accident protection on my next cam! Can't say I'll be avoiding water in the future :) Yes, I'm overwhelmed with the support. Very humbling ;) Cheers
stop being so damn negative water moccasin good to eat
I've dunked a camera before during one of my canoe outings but, mine survived after a couple days of drying out and I'm still using it. Mine was a low cost camera so I wasn't that upset but I was still glad it survived...
I tried to dry it but no luck!!
I watch you here and there. To hear your give post card , with you signing it. WELL , I TRIED IT , I CALLED MY FRIENDS AND TOLD THEM , IF THEY GIVE ME $5 . I WILL GIVE THEM A POST CARD WITH MY NAME ON IT. FUNNY, I HAVEN HEARD FROM THEM. NOT A WORD.
This was 3 years ago, what happened? Did you get enough donations to get another camera?
yes i had a follow up video
Didn't drop anything but my good wife dropped her really expensive (gift from me) watch in the toilet and our little one at the time flushed it. Happened about 38 yrs ago and still is a painful memory for her. These things happen!!
Thanks for sharing! Funny but not funny story :) Yep- I've lost another camera to the Yukon River but nothing yet to the toilet!
Wow, what a bummer! I can totally relate: my trusty Nikon D60 died the night before a remote three day mountain trek in New Zealand. A trip of a lifetime....and no way to take photos. (This was before I had a smartphone.) Thankfully I'm an artist so it forced me to record more drawings in my sketchbook but STILL. It was heartbreaking.
Oh man Laura that sounds painful indeed! But sometimes it forces us to get creative- and sounds like you nailed it!
I know this feeling and I know the feeling so well of not being able to document too. I've chucked a dollar in, not much, but it will hopefully help a little. Best of luck from some inspired adventurer fans of yours. :D
Well thank you much skip & jump! And hey- love your name :)
Ouch!!...I have lost 3 cameras that way in the last 20 years. The last little point and shoot camera I dropped in the lake when my canoe capsized in a lake in the Yukon. The water was very clear and shallow so I retrieved it and paddled back to shore and left it in the sun all day. The key thing I did here was I DID NOT SWITCH IT ON. After leaving it for a couple of days in the fresh air and sun I turned it on and it worked...still works to this day. I try to avoid taking my Olympus SLR on the water, though I take my Panasonic HD Camcorder. Ideally I need to get a camera that is sealed, or that I can buy a waterproof case for. Take care Brooke!
Yeah- I lost a camera ON the Yukon in Alaska- sat it on top of a cooler going down the river in a skiff- then the lid blew off the cooler and whoosh- there goes my camera! Lost some really great pics. But yeah- I think i need a camera for the water and one for land! Still no guarantees- I've broken my share of cameras dropping them too! Maybe the best thing to do is buy it new with accident insurance! thanks for watching :)
So my new camera- I bought it from Best Buy and paid an extra $70 for a 3 year replacement warranty- if I dunk it or trash it they either fix it or replace it. Feeling good about that warranty right now! I think I'd like your book- I'll be able to access my PayPal tomorrow- Cheers!
Very cool thanks Chris! Yeah- def getting accident protection on my next cam!
I have tried compressed air for short bursts- maybe it can be yet fixed.
I'm going to send it in but they don't have much hope for it... :(
I like my Girl in the Woods to be happy .....So here you go Brooke, hope it helps .
Thank you much David Chandley! Very sweet :)
Hate it when that happens! 😤😧 You haven't had good luck with your kayak lately. Leak last time, now this! Sorry to hear that Brooke but I think you will be able to replace your camera soon. I was going to order your book, now this gives me a greater reason to do so. Happy to help my friend!
As far as dropping something, I was climbing Lambert Dome in Yosemite, which is insanely vertical. My camera fell and started quickly rolling down the rock face. Of course I extended my reach to save it but when I picked it up, my friend and I locked eyes. We both had the same thought "that was really stupid"! I could have so easily fallen trying to save a camera. NOT WORTH IT but I reacted with my first thought of not losing all my vacation pictures. Thankfully my friend didn't have to attend a funeral.
Thank you much Linda! Appreciate the kindness :)
Oh wow. Funny how you react in a split second- and I'm glad as well you didn't fall! It's like dashing in front of traffic to move a turtle off the road!
Sometimes cameras get lost in the Yukon! lol
Yeah- I mentioned that to someone in a comment! Bet there was some good pics lost there!! Oh if you could dredge the yukon- think of the things you'd find!!!
So sorry, Brooke. What a bummer.
Thanks Craig!
Drat and Bother! I can't donate until May 3; but I will then. I will send all I can after my bills are paid.
Hoosierarcher- thanks for your concern and thanks for watching!
Sucks when photogear goes down like that. One thing I learned in film school was always have a splash housing/bag for when you're near water or heavy rain. You can also put some mositure asorbers in it in case of small leak or humidity. Not sure if you were using a DSLR, but some thing as simple as this could help next time. I would suggest using it whem your anywhere near water or with 50 ft, cause you never know.

Don't feel bad. I have worked on film shoots where they used $30,000 and up cinema cameras while standing in waves at the beach or in heavy down pour and they used trash bags for protection and water got on the camera bodies and damaged them or some of the gear. Look at the upside, you can update your camera!
oops... stop right before you showed your nikon camera to comment.... really sucks, I'm a bigtime Nikon fan!!!!
Thanks Dean will check it out! It was on a small tripod next to shore when my boat hit it... tumbled in the water. I'll def be hyper aware of what I'm doing in the future!
Yeah- this was my first foray into Nikon- I'm a pretty diehard Canon girl... It was a great camera!
Just now seeing this 3 years later! Did you get the new cam ok?
I had problems finding the link. Push her pic up above. When the new window opens, follow the top bar all the way to the right to get Brooke's details. You'll find the PayPal link near the bottom of the page! I just sent $50 as my donation.
Wow Jeff! Thanks much! I'll be sending you the goods tomorrow- cheers :)
BONK! sploosh! AARRGHH! lol!!!
Rice is the worse thing you can do regardless of what others say. Letting it set open and air dry for ages days is best thing to do with phones camera ECT.
Hey Brooke can you leave a link where I can donate please ??:). I love all that you do and would enjoy having all your work :)) blessings to you 🙏💜😌
The link in at the bottom of her header on her homepage.
Hey Indigo Savage, appreciate it! You can find the PayPal Donate button at the bottom right corner of the header on my UA-cam channel.
shame I just discovered your channel, I would have love to contribute. will there be a french version of your book eventually one day ?
Much love to you and your family ❤️❤️❤️
Damn!!! If I saw this earlier I would have donated! Glad you got your new camera tho! Can we still donate to you anyway? Take care !!!
Electronics can be repaired for much less than a new camera. Of course I am biased because I have an electronics repair business...
please disregard any previous comments love you bud
Love the channel! Donation on the way!
Jim- thank you so much!
you never tasted a breakfast burrito like I could make you I am a licensed chef and breakfast burritos is my favorite
Don't forget to take the batteries out if you have not already.
Yes I did take batteries out, card out, left it in rice for bout 3 days.... no luck!
How much to get a hat like yours in my size, 7 3/4 cant find one anywhere,
Look in the link in description of my latest vid- link to my amazon affiliate store- hats in there like mine
I cannot find donate for House now also....
Wow....
wish we could help, my wife and I are kind of strapped for cash right now we just moved into our first house, but our prayers are with you for a camera so you can keep making your awesome videos.
Hey thanks much peter I appreciate you! Good luck and congrats on your new house! That's awesome :)
Not good coverage tonight, but managed to donate eventually.
All the best choosing your new camera. Bet you won't do that again
Linda- thank you so much for your donation! I do appreciate it! It will go towards keeping my channel alive and well. Thank you!!
I'm on the two steps backwards, one step forwards plan myself, :(
haha aren't we all...
i damaged my first video camera, it fell and the lens got cracked..... what a sad feeling eh? Cheers!
Yeah totally! AGHHHHhhhhhhhh!
last year I dunked a 1500 dollar quad copter with 4k camera in 70 feet of salt water.
OH man! HUGE bummer. Makes me feel like a whiner now ;) I watched a pro team from Nat Geo dump one in the Yukon River couple years ago on our show... but I bet their's had insurance!
Happy you got help with a new camera. This video also shows you didn't win the Alone show, sorry to hear. Nice try though. I think building the cabin did you in with not getting enough food to sustain the energy between catches. I knew it was over in episode 5 for you. You did an awesome job lasting as long as you did! I wish you had won, though you got an experience of a life time to tell your grand children about.
yes darling your screw ups are entertaining , did kayaking and eskimo rolls to, aint i a pain
Sharing makes everything more fun. ouch $8oo
ha yeah
GET ONE OF THOSE WATER PROOF CAMERAS FOR $50, FOR WATER STUFF
Yeah I know- gotta do that!
Have you tried calling product support to see if it can be repaired [or considered asking Todd Harrison of Todd Fun about it (a you tube electrical engineer)?
I called- doesn't sound good for the camera. I will have to pay for them to look at it. Maybe the lens is salvageable tho...
I commented the event on Todd's latest video. He was bench testing a hot tub controller he'd re-engineered. I think you should send it out to someone because what the heck someone like Todd can build a board from scratch if not simply replace the specific defunct element in a particular circuit once it's disassembled.
Oh crappers! So sorry your camera got away from you...ugh. I just made a donation and left a note on Paypal that I already have your awesome book but would love to get the other two items. Hope this helps! I always carry my camera in an Otterbox which floats. Have you seen those?
Thank you so much Susan! I will def check those out!
Girl in the Woods....I just looked quickly on the OtterBox site and it looks like they're mostly selling cell phone protection. Years ago I got a bigger one that fits my DSLR and it is crush proof and water proof. Maybe you can find them.....
Ohhhh.....just saw that OtterBox has discontinued their larger dry boxes.
Too bad!!
Sad to hear this. How close are you now?
Oh man people have been so kind! I ordered a new camera yesterday- should be here in a few days! So blessed...
YIKES......
Mother Nature doesn't seem to like when everything goes right, she's brutal and really kicks you hard. I've learned this a couple times from getting lost with my troop in the woods, and having a kid get a head injury on a Mountain away from help. It's stupid, but you'll always think twice.
You can always learn something from bad experiences... at least that's the good thing! Thanks for watching Bushcraft Baxter!
I'm 3 years late 🤭🙄
I am too!!! So typical!!!!🙄😂
The body, glass, and whatnot night be able to be salvaged. It's probably just the electronics that are fried. I would look into the possibility of repair services or replacement parts before a complete replacement. Maybe it might help. Best wishes, Brooke! I wish I could help more, but I'm super broke right now. Praying for things to get better! ❤🙏
edit: Have you thought about reaching out to some of the other outdoor youtubers in the community? I'm sure they know the heartache of losing vital equipment. Steffi's got a huge subscriber base, maybe she could put together a call to action?
I think repair would be costly, according to what I've researched.... I may end up putting it on Ebay for parts or whatnot. Thanks for suggestions Mark!
If you do list it on eBay, you might consider signing it with some really cool color of paint - make it a limited, 1 of a kind item! :)
Now you're thinkin!
I'll have to get my daughter to do this for me
So,glad you film,is it to late donate? 😭
Oh thank you- you can donate to support the channel anytime, but my great subscribers did fund a new camera for me- what a blessing!
Have you tried selling the fried camera for bits ? You might be able to grab a couple dozen bucks that way, I've seen people selling dead electronics online and making a little money (stuff like handheld game console and such)
Yeah I'm going to try that- thanks :)
my cousin mark is a game warden in Alaska I told him to keep an eye on you
uh oh
I assume at this point in time you already have a new camera, but if I donate the $50.00 do I still get all 3?
Hey...for between 300-$500.00 you can get a JVC Quad proof total water proof & great quality video's...
Thanks Ribar!
bummer!!!! hope you can get a new camera soon
Thanks Kaylynn!
HOW AND WHERE DO I SEND THE DONATION TO??
I would have let you take my camera kayaking
I left a just two-week-old phone in my pocket when I was doing laundry... Does that count?
I lost another just one-week-old phone in a snowbank. That's kind of like water.
haha yeah those all count! Makes you go "DOH!"
Does a donation of 50-00 include postage of items to Australia?
Thanks Roger- I would guess it would cost around $20- 25 to ship to Australia.... I know when I ship a book to Europe it's about that. So you decide... If you donate, I'm shipping!
Hey, Brooke, bummer about your camera. I just donated $50 to you. You'll be up and running again in no time. Take care:)
Wow! Thanks so much! Very humbled.... Cheers
