    My son and I have been having problems lately, yesterday I bought him a kayak, the two of us had the best day fishing we’ve had in years. We talked our problems through, Thank You both, it was your videos that made me reach out and bury our nonsense. Be blessed, and Thank You for motivating me to be a better father.🇨🇦🇺🇸👍

      Last year with no place left to turn I prayed to God in repentance then begged for help with all my heart, "I was until then a lifelong Atheist."
      I then had a dream of Jesus coming before God and he spoke of the Tabernacle in perfect context, "A word I didn't know existed because I've never read the bible", and the love I felt from Jesus was unlike anything I've ever felt before - A lifetime of joy every second - It brought me to sobbing and it changed my life forever.
      I've had other miracles since, a few being a light turning on in answer to deeply needful prayer 6 times, seeing a orb of light hours before a major surgery, seeing an Angel in a dream the night my mother prayed for me to see one, "Without telling me", and so much more.
      Know that God and Jesus ARE real and that they love us deeply. Let go of your hatred and Imagine yourself holding the people who've hurt you. Tell them you love and forgive them and I believe we should do our best to follow, "I've failed many times", the 10 commandments.
      Always have hope. I believe that love is the answer.

    Sr., your Croc demonstration was epic! OMG! I needed that! I backed it up and watched it again! You guys are awesome.
    You guys are shedding some light on the important topic of Lake Meade's water level. I'm surprised this isn't getting media attention. And you guys helping Craig,... what a blessing you guys are and the company who helped get his boat back in the water. And it's nice to see you all enjoying the outdoors and spending quality time together.
    I'm enjoying your channel, hope you all stay safe.

    I have a question, and favor of you guys. Many years ago, I wanted to dive a b-29, but did not get a permit to do so. The site is well known, yet off limits to diving anymore. Depth at the site was around 170ft then. I was wondering if you could go to the site and take a sounding as to how deep it is now. With the water level dropping, it would not be a surprise to hear if it is nearly surfaced. I am unsure if you would need a permit to take a sounding, or if that info is available through the NPS. But it is merely a curiosity to me, and a reference to how much the level has dropped.
