I just spent 47:35 watching this video for " life is tough your tougher, talk to god he loves you.do his will, and be willing to be moved". Best 47:35 I have spent in a while thx.god bless I needed that right now.
I'm watching this nearly three years after you made it. This video is profound and affecting. Thank you for your willingness to be vulnerable and light the way.
16 years ago I had a similar experience. My wife and I lived in Northern California, rural area but still behind enemy lines. I was working 2 full time paramedic jobs (96hr/wk) my wife was an er nurse/night shift and we had a 1yo baby. We decided to look at moving, and things happed so fast it should have scared us but we just went where we were led. Less than 2 months later we were in Western Montana, with land, elk in our back yard and new jobs. 16 years later to the month my son is a senior in high school, honor roll and going into the air force next summer. We are happy, healthy, debt free and truly blessed. I didn’t realize it at that time but now I know it was God telling us to get away from the madness, raise our son in the mountains and work the land. Great channel. Will be watching more videos for sure.
Hey Robert, We fled norcal too in 12/2016. We went through western MT also looking at the Bitterroots area. We ended up in se wyo. Been developing 40 raw acres on pine covered mtns and thanking YAW EVERYDAY! Glad to hear you made it. We have a video trailer with song that we believe GOD sent us to "COME WITH ME NOW"! ua-cam.com/video/4F5ztUg2YbQ/v-deo.html
Thank you for this video Bear! I too have had my life burned down more times than I can count. We come back smarter, stronger and wiser. The last time it was literally a fire that took our home and Business from my wife and I. Pun intended, it lit the fire under our asses to become prepared. We moved out of California and bought a piece of dirt in a little town in Nevada. We started our Homestead here and our small business. Much like you guys we're making less money than we used to. But we're much happier. I appreciate your videos very much. Stay blessed.
I listened to your whole video all the way to the end. Very inspirational for me. But when you said a broken vessel can still carry water brought tears to my eyes . i don't know why. I guess I'll have to listen to his still small voice to explain it to me. Keep doing what you're doing brother. You are reaching a lot of people that have ears to hear. Shalom.
I so needed this message today. Hadn’t heard of your channel until now and it’s no coincidence that this video was put in front of me. Thank you. All praise to the Most High!
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful, encouraging testimony! Alone at 61 and permanently disabled on SSI, seeing where we are in Yah's timeline is pretty uncomfortable. It's been my dream to also have a piece of dirt to get away to, but I'm the only one here or in my family who sees and believes as you and your family do, and I can't work enough to make a living or purchase land on SSI. I'd be deeply grateful for your prayers. May Abba Yah continue to bless you and your family, ministry, and all that you put forth your hands to do. Shalom aleichem.
Any willing broken vessel can carry more than the largest whole one that refuses to be used. You and yours are a blessing because you seek to be. You can see it, and it's a beautiful thing.
My wife and I found our property in a similar way, looked for a while, found nothing. She picked a spot, we walked up, realized we had zero phone signal, loved it, on the drive out, seen a sweet snow owl. We looked at each other and said "this is it". Now we are slowly building it up, gonna put a cabin up soon, and plan on moving up there, and hopefully sooner then later.
Thank you for opening the eyes of someone who is at a low spot in their life. I'm there as you were then and I really needed to hear some inspiration from a man who I deeply admire and respect. God bless you brother
Im of the norse pagen faith and im also building my own homestead and am being moved to action by the all father. I find myself humbled and spurred to serious consideration of your words, your conviction is respectable and your honor comforting. Sincerely thank you for your wisdom
This video showed up today in my feed, so I clicked it. I have watched a few of yours recently so I was not surprised to see the suggestion and thought nothing of it. Here we go.....some prepping advice as I fold the laundry. Wow.... around the time that you spoke of the children being hit by careless drivers I realized this was the video I needed today. I stopped what I was doing and restarted the video. When it finishes, I am near tears. I see the date you published it...this was the week my world was burning. I am still struggling to survive in the aftermath. I am so thankful for this message of hope today.
Hands down, my Brother, the most manly talk I was blessed and meant to hear. I needed to hear this more than you can ever imagine. I have been questioning so many things lately. (And I am sure I will, because of free will). But here I am at 1:33 AM Monday the 26th of November being humbled and thanking the most High for you. I call you my Brother, because we are of the same cloth, just torn and scattered by the winds. Thank you, may you and yours be blessed in ways that will shock others, and be used for HIS will. And I hope to shake your hand and hug your neck one day and look you in the eye and call you Brother.
I too call you my brother from another mother. God works in amazing ways and I believe he is using you to reach people from all walks of life with whom your varied messages resonates. God is in control, and nothing can be better than that. God bless you and your family in abundance in all the ways that REALLY matter. Shalom brother 🙏🏿✌🏿
Despite the original date of this video , it is perfect timing for me , in July , 2023 ! In adult life , I have never felt "at home" anywhere...always aware of the transient quality of things and the distinct possibility of not finding my place in this life . Finances have been under the burden of others' decisions and mistakes . The last address was the longest I'd lived anywhere...ever ! and yet ...it became increasingly obvious , that my deteriorating spine could not continue to maintain life there...the job involved spending my back in service to others and the end of my working life was rapidly approaching . There was the enormous mortgage ( increased over the years as debts were foisted on me deliberately by others) and a small car loan...how to pay them with no job ? If the house was sold, where could I go ?? Many tears and prayers later , I was led . The house was listed , unburdened to easily 50% less stuff , sold and a small , manufactured house was purchased with the proceeds from the sale of the other house . That mortgage and car loan were paid off and I am now debt free ! Further blessings followed , in the form of good neighbors , the ability to pay basic bills , purchase preps and qualify for programs that allow for food , etc. that my very limited income would not permit . It is now a simple life and I am most grateful...curious about where the next steps will lead . Thank you for going where you are led , and sharing your experiences for our benefit May you and yours continue to be blessed !
I LOVE THIS VIDEO! You know why?? You’re level of humility….. the strength thru humility and the ability to be humble because of faith, true faith… and with that comes humility and strength…. Not easy but very simple.. god bless and remember to wake up in the morning and ask to be this guy that’s in this video … again good bless
Great video Bear! Appreciate your wisdom so much as we are about 3 weeks into our actual homestead journey. I like the philosophy as well. Keep following the Lord man.
Just ran across this video on 19NOV2019. Thanks!My Dear Wife (MDW) and myself have a burrden to get out of the Garland (Dallas/Plano) area away from the city. With the invasion of people who screwed up their own place (i.e. the NE and California) and now infesting Texas like cockroaches, the price of land has skyrocketed to rediculous levels. Thanks Bear for the encouragement and reminder that Our Father knows what we need and will provide. I continue to look and know that I will KNOW the right place when I see it. Thanks again.
Wow. What a testimony you have concerning listening to the small still voice and walking in faith. My family and I found our homesteading property much like you did. We thought we knew where we wanted to be and what was best for us. Looking back I thank God that He had other ideas. We convinced ourselves that we should retire to the mountains. We spent many weekends traveling back roads and visiting properties but nothing seemed to fit us. One day my youngest son called me and said mama, you have got to see this property. I brushed him off because it was not where we were looking and didn't fit any category we thought would fit us. But, the quiet voice kept speaking to me. I finally got over myself and decided to at least shut my son up by going to see the property he kept talking about. Like your wife, time I drove on the property I had a peaceful feeling and a sense that I had found where I belonged. One of the biggest blessings was that my adult sons can commute to the city for work, something they would not have been able to do from the mountains. In fact, had we moved to the mountains they would not have moved with us and we'd be lucky to see them once a month or maybe see our grandsons during summer vacation. For the money we had we ended up getting less land but there were good trade-offs also and in general this is a much better place for us. While researching the land and it's previous owners 1 name kept coming up, add in that my son found a cemetery on the property and my curiosity was peaked so I went into research mode. Come to find out this property back in the mid-1700's was part of a farm that my 7th great grandfather owned. He is buried in the cemetery. My youngest son is now farming where his 6th great grandfather farmed! How cool is that! One day I will pass from this world but thankful my 3 sons and 2 grandsons will live together on this land as their ancestors did. I didn't even know I had relatives in this place but once word spread that an old cemetery had been found people in the community started coming by and explaining how we are related to them. I have more distant cousins than I can count! And God moved us into a community of people who have accepted and look after us - and us them. I looked for land for 3 years and was on the verge of giving up or buying anything just to have my life back and not spend every weekend looking at property. God is so good. He let me try my way and then He gently showed me His way. I'm so glad both you and I listened to Him. ~Sherrie in South Carolina
Thank you T. This message was what I needed to hear. The noise all around me is slowly being drowned out to better hear God's wishes for me and my family. Praise God in Heaven, Amen.
As a fairly recent follower of your channel I would have to say this is my favorite video you have posted. I too find it hard to be a good friend as I have had times in my life when a friend is what I needed and those who I thought were friends truly were not. I built walls and stayed behind them and would let very few through. It takes a lot for me to be that open with anyone these days. My circle or tribe, as you say, is small. Trust is a two way street for me and is never granted but earned. Though there are somethings you talk about I don't understand I hear the words and they cause me to think and evaluate. For that I thank you Brother.
How strange that this popped up as a recommended video. The timeline didn’t add up as I listened while doing the dishes, but I was so moved to tears by this one. I didn’t realize it was several years old. The father wanted me to hear this message today, and to play it for my husband. Bless all of you.
Thank you so much for your videos! You reminded me that too often when God tells us to go somewhere, we don’t “Yes, Sir. I’m going.” We argue and stall and backtalk like a child who was told to clean their room. I forget this sometimes. It really IS like chess, and we all know most chess pieces have to make more than 3 moves to get where they’re needed. We ask something of God and then sit and wait for THAT thing. We don’t want to go through all the things that will make US ready for THAT. Thank you, again! Husband and I are still praying to COOHMP! Now it’s time to “man up” with what we have been blessed with so we’ll be ready for the next blessings!
1st off, life is tough. But we (the tribe strong and brave) have gone through life with tests. We can endure a LOT! 2nd glad to hear that you are getting back in shape, I wish I could do better right now than I have been. Good talk!
i lost my home in 2011 to a housefire. nothing was salvageable. my family cried all night but i knew it was a blessing and a chance for us to start a better more healthier life. the home we have now is beautiful and i live in a town that respects its citizens rights. i have so much now that i never would have had i stayed in chicago. im glad i found your channel and i love what you do man
I hated and then denied God because of what happened to me, during my childhood. Then (24 painful years later)...out of the blue... I was able to forgive that person, a large weight came off my shoulders and I started seeking out God, again. Then, my daughter started seeing and talking to demons (thinking they were friendly)...I prayed and 2 days later my daughter stopped seeing them and wanted me to teach her how to pray to God. Now, I see that the devil was pulling me away from God and he was successful at it, for a moment in time. The devil put me in a church (as a child) that was not about God but about money and false words. I feel so blessed now that my eyes were finally opened. I love hearing stories about others blessings and their eyes being open. May the most high bless and keep you and your family.
2 years late, but thank you. I am a broken man of faith who has failed his family. I wake up every day and pray, fight and put one foot down in front of the other. I hope that I can find the strength to finally acknowledge that I am powerless and give it to God. Blessings to you and yours and thanks for the inspiration.
Most Holy Father, my prayer to you this day is for my brother Steve. I beseech you to take him under your protection, to care and guide him to Your side, to carry him when he needs aid. To take any blinders off his heart and eyes so that he might walk before you as a father Abraham; when you told him to walk before you perfectly and he fell on his face, with the full knowledge that he could not even stand much less walk without your love and guidance. Remove from before him doubt, of your love and aspirations from his life. I speak this words looking into a mirror in all humility Brother. We have all had and will continue to have tribulations. But we will be carried through it by our faith, guarding the commandment by the power of the Ruach HaKodesh and it will make us stronger in our faith, our souls and for the days to come. Numbers 6:22-27The Aaronic BlessingYHWH bless you, and guard you - יְבָרֶכְךָ יהוה, וְיִשְׁמְרֶךָ(Yevhārēkh-khā YAHUAH veyishmerēkhā...)YHWH make His face shine unto you, and be gracious to you - יָאֵר יהוה פָּנָיו אֵלֶיךָ, וִיחֻנֶּךָּ ("Yāʾēr YAHUAH pānāw ēlekhā viḥunnékkā ...) YHWH lift up His face unto you, and give to you peace - יִשָּׂא יהוה פָּנָיו אֵלֶיךָ, וְיָשֵׂם לְךָ שָׁלוֹם("Yissā YAHUAH pānāw ēlekhā viyāsēm lekhā shalom In so doing, they will place my name on the People of Israel-I will confirm it by blessing them.”This is one of the most beautiful prayers in the Bible. Sharing the love our Father has for us.The root words of the Hebrew are amazing; It was explained to me as this.Bless comes from the root berech, which is knee. The Father takes you as a babe to his knee, like a little child. Keep you is from the same root word as Shomer; which is to guard. Which is self-explanatory.HE looks on you in favor, giving you blessings more that you deserve. HE lifts HIS face; The connotation is he must lift you to look up at you. In that a Father picks up his child is love, and gives you HIS peace in your life. BaShem Yeshua HaMashiach and we all say, “Amen!”
A good man like you should look into volunteering. I'm a volunteer business mentor for my city. People wanting to start local businesses chat with me about what to expect, how to prepare, etc. It's great to help those that want to be useful to society.
Great talk, Bear. I too am anxiously awaiting the day I can pack up our house in the 'burbs and move to the country. I think I've found the place, and we're working on details, trying to be patient as the Father directs. I know this is a year old, but I appreciate the words. I know much of what you speak. Keep doing the things.
Military life takes me where it takes me, hoping for an opportunity that’s presented itself away from here. First time I’ve ever felt held back by this organization from achieving what I’m capable of. This was an excellent talk, I’m not a believer, but I was moved nonetheless
Thank you for this video! I am at this point right now and it is burning down! I dont know what to do or where to go but I appreciate this video and you and your family! I pray for you and your family that things stay on the mend! Once again thank for the video it has helped in some way.
That was deep and heartfelt, Brother. Great video! I too struggle with friends. I may love someone to their bone marrow but I may not grab the phone and call them or go visit. I need to do better with that. Shalom Brother!
For me, the best part of our talks (and we have some amazing ones) is the praying together. I look forward to that every time we are together either physically or by phone.
You're very real man. Thought provoking and inspiring. I like your outlook and positivity. Materialism and stuff will absolutely start owning the individual. Downsizing and finding what is absolutely important and necessary is crucial to be rewarded peace of mind.
Awesome testimony of what Father can do in us, with us and through Him. May Father continue to bless you and yours and thank you for being the Warrior Father has raised you to be. Shalom
Wow brother!! I truly understand where your at. I lived in central Florida for 25 yrs. Now here in Oklahoma. I drove a Simi for 25 + yrs. Completely distroying my body. Now I have peace and quiet. And was truly excited to do 5 push ups..it's getting better. I have a very hard time making friend. I find it hard to trust. You keep up the great work! I'm so glad to have found your channel.
I lost everything 7 years ago except my family it was the hardest thing I have ever been through .my wife did the same thing came to me and said I found our new house and I thought she was crazy and I went to look see and it was a foreclosure and we had to bid at a auction and we got it luckily and my wife said God told her we would get the house and it changed me and us for the better thank God ! Praying for you and your family

And once again bear you inspire me I truly believe God brought me to your Channel for a reason because I can feel my life changing for the good now my life was stagnant I got in a wreck last October I'm still off work and I felt like I was just spinning my wheels I watch your videos and now I get up and I do things I'm walking a mile a day now I'm all prepped up if that's even possible I feel like I'm closer to God than I ever have been instead of fighting I'm following so thank you God bless you and your family I love you all to pieces have a blessed day
Just happened to be scrolling through some of your older videos and God caused me to play it. I thank God for you. I thank God for faith you have. This video has moved me in a way I wasn't expecting. Thank you and Thank God.
Morning all. You are so blessed, things are starting to fall into place for your family. There is a plan for all of us. We just need to follow God's blueprint, I'll leave it at that. Have a wonderful week.
Thank you Bear. Thank you for everything you do brother. I stumbled upon(now thinking I was directed)this page many months ago if not longer. Came for the gear but found a badass and amazing human doing great things. Keep it up bro.
You are a great encouragement and role model. I hope and pray that God blesses you even more each day. I hope to be able to provide like you do for my wife and two sons. Praise the Father for His mercy and love.
The BEST VIDEO and the heartfelt outpouring of YOU on all of us is totally humbling..... Thank YOU my Brother for Everything You and the Father have blessed Me and my Family with and continue to do so ..... May Yah bless You ...your Family and your MAG ....I needed to hear this more han You will ever know .....
I spent most of my life in a big city .I hated it .I moved to the woods with my wife and kids and we have never been so happy so content . It's peaceful . It's slower and a better way of life for my family.god bless you brother
Bear listening to your videos are not a f****** waste of time I can manage to hear you while I'm spending my 5 hours a day driving to and from where I need to drive to and from to you make me think outside the box I appreciate these videos and keep walking outside my friend
Thank you for sharing, Bear. I can relate with most of what you said about moving out of the city! I moved 4 hours South from the country and into the city, MY SOUL IS SCREAMING to move back to the country, Corbiel, Ontario, Canada .
You sure mean it when you say "the best video ever". You touched my heart & I even cried BUT it was a GOOD CRY!! & I am liking life a whole lot more just knowing you exist. You are motivating & Inspirational. I am so encouraged now. I am amazed by your love & dedication. I feel like celebrating... I feel joyful & hopeful & Above ALL..... BLESSED!!! I can't even remember how I came upon your channel 2 dsays ago but I am CERTAIN that YAHWEH is responsible. Thank You SO MUCH & PRAISE & THANKS TO THE MOST HIGH!!! SHALOM
Hey Bear..man..I really gotta give you the props you deserve my friend. I never follow anyone on UA-cam nor do I have any media accounts. But I enjoy your content! I truly look forward to listening to where your mindset is next. You habe said things that helped me deal with things about myself and life. Interesting..I am in a state in my life in which I am in a 'involuntary' start over, and it isn't easy to deal with. Listening to this vid really helped my mindset. Keep doin what your doin brother..it is MUCH appreciated👌
Father bless, T, "riotous rage" struck me right in the chest. It truly scares me at how angry I can get. I NEED this word, your insight is so dope, thank you so much. 🙏
Dude, I haven't even finished watching this and I feel compelled to message ya. This is the second time the father has spoken to me through video in the past couple hours. Wranglerstar dropped a video today and it was a study on the prodigal son and GOD spoke to me through that and now through you in this video. My "all" didn't burn down, but, it was destroyed. 6 yrs ago, I was unemployed. All my utilities was turned off and the city found out..they gave 3 days to come up with the money and turn ALL of them back on. Of course, I couldn't do it so two "code enforcement officers" and two cops kicked me out of my own home. TWO days before Christmas. Then the city tore my home down. That was my childhood home. lived there literally my whole life. (45 yrs at that point) i Took my fist steps in this house and it's gone. I was now homeless. I literally begged GOD on my knees not to let it happen and it happened anyway. Within a few months, I found myself in a men's program at a Baptist church. It was hard. Had alot of bad times there. But, more good times. Looking back, I see now why the father let it happen. To bring me closer to him. He knows how to get our attention. I have an apartment now. while living In the woods, I was taking care of a stray cat and I was even able to bring him to the apartment with me. We've been together for almost 4 yrs. Life is good now. You are such an inspiration. You do good work and this "burn it down" video was a AWSOME testimony. Bless you, brother. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for sharing your story. God bless you and your family. You continue to inspire me with your videos. You have a unique and needed voice on UA-cam.
Great talk! Thanks for keeping it real. You have a beautiful family and are truly blessed. You have already touched more people than you will ever know. Keep following the Spirit!
Brother, I thought you were a hot air bag that talked about some cool stuff, but this video game me a new respect for you and were you are coming from. HIS power is transformative!
You were me 25 years ago. I checked out of the suburbs. I knew there was something missing in my life, but didn't act on it. I joined the church 2 years ago. It's a long story, but I'm so glad this prodigal son found his way. Stay blessed and live the Advent.
I to am a follower of Christ and a poor sinner...and old soldier. Your words touched me brother...the warrior ethos and faith have carried me back from where I could never returned on my own. Thanks for the reminder...to listen, follow and submit to his will. Blessing on you and your family you are in my prayers.
Inspiring words by a wise man. Losing a child, a gentle young man to colon cancer has been devastating to our family. Losing a job to 9/11, failing business, divorce, illness - none of those hold a candle to losing a beloved son.
Bear, you stirred something inside me that has never been stirred. My life has burned down as your shop. I knew I was missing something, maybe this is what was missing. I think I will go to church this Sunday, first time in 20 years. I tried to do it alone, but it hasn't worked. Maybe I could use a little help from someone above. I don't know where to go anymore, maybe the spirit does... Ty, my life needs the touch that yours did... Before hearing your story I couldn't admit it to myself. I have done everything else humanly possible, except surrender myself to the higher power. As you said, you'd never say something if you didn't know, so what the hell, nothing left to lose. I will try giving my path to the Father, I hope it leads to simplicity for me as it did for you...
Great testimony, brother! I have had a similar experience. I'm living on 16 acres of beautiful country in southeast Idaho, with a mountain range in my backyard. Pretty much heaven. Now, ironically, my family and I are being called in another direction and to new adventures.
Man I was going back to watch some of your older stuff and around the 25 min mark you're spitting pure truth. Well the entire video but I feel some portions are more pertinent to certain people. God bless.
I greatly appreciate your channel, especially your un-apologetic faith in Jesus Christ, our Lord! Keep up the good work, and fight the good fight of faith in the Lord our God. Blessings to you and your precious family!
Good talk, Brother
Absolutely great chat bud keep it up
I just spent 47:35 watching this video for " life is tough your tougher, talk to god he loves you.do his will, and be willing to be moved". Best 47:35 I have spent in a while thx.god bless I needed that right now.
You two sound the same to me, it's like if you got into a time machine... or I got into a time machine
I like PJ too!
I'm watching this nearly three years after you made it. This video is profound and affecting. Thank you for your willingness to be vulnerable and light the way.
Four years for me same thing
💯🎯👍🇺🇲
16 years ago I had a similar experience. My wife and I lived in Northern California, rural area but still behind enemy lines. I was working 2 full time paramedic jobs (96hr/wk) my wife was an er nurse/night shift and we had a 1yo baby. We decided to look at moving, and things happed so fast it should have scared us but we just went where we were led. Less than 2 months later we were in Western Montana, with land, elk in our back yard and new jobs. 16 years later to the month my son is a senior in high school, honor roll and going into the air force next summer. We are happy, healthy, debt free and truly blessed. I didn’t realize it at that time but now I know it was God telling us to get away from the madness, raise our son in the mountains and work the land. Great channel. Will be watching more videos for sure.
robert hansen I want to move out to Montana so bad. I’m close to retiring from the Army, now I just need to convince my wife
As a fellow montana boy...👍
Hey Robert, We fled norcal too in 12/2016. We went through western MT also looking at the Bitterroots area. We ended up in se wyo. Been developing 40 raw acres on pine covered mtns and thanking YAW EVERYDAY!
Glad to hear you made it.
We have a video trailer with song that we believe GOD sent us to "COME WITH ME NOW"!

“a broken vessel can still carry water”, very timely and potent Bear. I find myself thanking you again.
All praise to The Father
Thank you for this video Bear! I too have had my life burned down more times than I can count. We come back smarter, stronger and wiser. The last time it was literally a fire that took our home and Business from my wife and I. Pun intended, it lit the fire under our asses to become prepared. We moved out of California and bought a piece of dirt in a little town in Nevada. We started our Homestead here and our small business. Much like you guys we're making less money than we used to. But we're much happier. I appreciate your videos very much. Stay blessed.
I listened to your whole video all the way to the end. Very inspirational for me. But when you said a broken vessel can still carry water brought tears to my eyes . i don't know why. I guess I'll have to listen to his still small voice to explain it to me. Keep doing what you're doing brother. You are reaching a lot of people that have ears to hear. Shalom.
thank you brother.
I so needed this message today. Hadn’t heard of your channel until now and it’s no coincidence that this video was put in front of me. Thank you. All praise to the Most High!
This is by far one of the best talks I have ever had the honor of hearing .. truly even a year later .. thanks brother
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful, encouraging testimony! Alone at 61 and permanently disabled on SSI, seeing where we are in Yah's timeline is pretty uncomfortable. It's been my dream to also have a piece of dirt to get away to, but I'm the only one here or in my family who sees and believes as you and your family do, and I can't work enough to make a living or purchase land on SSI. I'd be deeply grateful for your prayers. May Abba Yah continue to bless you and your family, ministry, and all that you put forth your hands to do. Shalom aleichem.
Any willing broken vessel can carry more than the largest whole one that refuses to be used. You and yours are a blessing because you seek to be. You can see it, and it's a beautiful thing.
My wife and I found our property in a similar way, looked for a while, found nothing. She picked a spot, we walked up, realized we had zero phone signal, loved it, on the drive out, seen a sweet snow owl. We looked at each other and said "this is it". Now we are slowly building it up, gonna put a cabin up soon, and plan on moving up there, and hopefully sooner then later.
Thank you for opening the eyes of someone who is at a low spot in their life. I'm there as you were then and I really needed to hear some inspiration from a man who I deeply admire and respect. God bless you brother
Im of the norse pagen faith and im also building my own homestead and am being moved to action by the all father. I find myself humbled and spurred to serious consideration of your words, your conviction is respectable and your honor comforting. Sincerely thank you for your wisdom
Brother.. I watched this 3yrs ago whenya posted it.. Watched it again today.. 9-13-22. RESPECT ❤️
You inspire me so deeply, much love, brother
I stuck around for this one. Never imagined seeing my life burn down either. Your faith is an inspiration, I haven't used mine in years
This video showed up today in my feed, so I clicked it. I have watched a few of yours recently so I was not surprised to see the suggestion and thought nothing of it. Here we go.....some prepping advice as I fold the laundry.
Wow.... around the time that you spoke of the children being hit by careless drivers I realized this was the video I needed today. I stopped what I was doing and restarted the video. When it finishes, I am near tears. I see the date you published it...this was the week my world was burning. I am still struggling to survive in the aftermath. I am so thankful for this message of hope today.
Bless you sister.
Hands down, my Brother, the most manly talk I was blessed and meant to hear. I needed to hear this more than you can ever imagine. I have been questioning so many things lately. (And I am sure I will, because of free will). But here I am at 1:33 AM Monday the 26th of November being humbled and thanking the most High for you. I call you my Brother, because we are of the same cloth, just torn and scattered by the winds. Thank you, may you and yours be blessed in ways that will shock others, and be used for HIS will. And I hope to shake your hand and hug your neck one day and look you in the eye and call you Brother.
Thank you, brother, for the kind words. I am constantly humbled at how The Most High uses a broken vessel like me to reach people. Shalom brother.
3.45 and im fealing blessed to have run across this video.
I too call you my brother from another mother. God works in amazing ways and I believe he is using you to reach people from all walks of life with whom your varied messages resonates. God is in control, and nothing can be better than that. God bless you and your family in abundance in all the ways that REALLY matter.
Shalom brother 🙏🏿✌🏿
Despite the original date of this video , it is perfect timing for me , in July , 2023 !
In adult life , I have never felt "at home" anywhere...always aware of the transient quality of things and the distinct possibility of not finding my place in this life . Finances have been under the burden of others' decisions and mistakes . The last address was the longest I'd lived anywhere...ever ! and yet ...it became increasingly obvious , that my deteriorating spine could not continue to maintain life there...the job involved spending my back in service to others and the end of my working life was rapidly approaching . There was the enormous mortgage ( increased over the years as debts were foisted on me deliberately by others) and a small car loan...how to pay them with no job ? If the house was sold, where could I go ?? Many tears and prayers later , I was led . The house was listed , unburdened to easily 50% less stuff , sold and a small , manufactured house was purchased with the proceeds from the sale of the other house . That mortgage and car loan were paid off and I am now debt free ! Further blessings followed , in the form of good neighbors , the ability to pay basic bills , purchase preps and qualify for programs that allow for food , etc. that my very limited income would not permit . It is now a simple life and I am most grateful...curious about where the next steps will lead . Thank you for going where you are led , and sharing your experiences for our benefit May you and yours continue to be blessed !
I LOVE THIS VIDEO! You know why?? You’re level of humility….. the strength thru humility and the ability to be humble because of faith, true faith… and with that comes humility and strength…. Not easy but very simple.. god bless and remember to wake up in the morning and ask to be this guy that’s in this video … again good bless
Great video Bear! Appreciate your wisdom so much as we are about 3 weeks into our actual homestead journey. I like the philosophy as well. Keep following the Lord man.
Just ran across this video on 19NOV2019. Thanks!My Dear Wife (MDW) and myself have a burrden to get out of the Garland (Dallas/Plano) area away from the city. With the invasion of people who screwed up their own place (i.e. the NE and California) and now infesting Texas like cockroaches, the price of land has skyrocketed to rediculous levels.
Thanks Bear for the encouragement and reminder that Our Father knows what we need and will provide. I continue to look and know that I will KNOW the right place when I see it. Thanks again.
One day I hope to shake your hand, you are the The Definition of honor , truth, and devotion. Thanks for all you do .
Wow. What a testimony you have concerning listening to the small still voice and walking in faith. My family and I found our homesteading property much like you did. We thought we knew where we wanted to be and what was best for us. Looking back I thank God that He had other ideas. We convinced ourselves that we should retire to the mountains. We spent many weekends traveling back roads and visiting properties but nothing seemed to fit us. One day my youngest son called me and said mama, you have got to see this property. I brushed him off because it was not where we were looking and didn't fit any category we thought would fit us. But, the quiet voice kept speaking to me. I finally got over myself and decided to at least shut my son up by going to see the property he kept talking about. Like your wife, time I drove on the property I had a peaceful feeling and a sense that I had found where I belonged. One of the biggest blessings was that my adult sons can commute to the city for work, something they would not have been able to do from the mountains. In fact, had we moved to the mountains they would not have moved with us and we'd be lucky to see them once a month or maybe see our grandsons during summer vacation. For the money we had we ended up getting less land but there were good trade-offs also and in general this is a much better place for us. While researching the land and it's previous owners 1 name kept coming up, add in that my son found a cemetery on the property and my curiosity was peaked so I went into research mode. Come to find out this property back in the mid-1700's was part of a farm that my 7th great grandfather owned. He is buried in the cemetery. My youngest son is now farming where his 6th great grandfather farmed! How cool is that! One day I will pass from this world but thankful my 3 sons and 2 grandsons will live together on this land as their ancestors did. I didn't even know I had relatives in this place but once word spread that an old cemetery had been found people in the community started coming by and explaining how we are related to them. I have more distant cousins than I can count! And God moved us into a community of people who have accepted and look after us - and us them. I looked for land for 3 years and was on the verge of giving up or buying anything just to have my life back and not spend every weekend looking at property. God is so good. He let me try my way and then He gently showed me His way. I'm so glad both you and I listened to Him. ~Sherrie in South Carolina
I’m blessed just to know of your story.
Needed this one today. The Father works in such wonderful and mysterious ways. Bless you and yours my Brother! You give all of us a mark to aim for.
Heard it loud and clear. Thank brother. One of the best talks yet.
Thank you T. This message was what I needed to hear. The noise all around me is slowly being drowned out to better hear God's wishes for me and my family. Praise God in Heaven, Amen.
As a fairly recent follower of your channel I would have to say this is my favorite video you have posted. I too find it hard to be a good friend as I have had times in my life when a friend is what I needed and those who I thought were friends truly were not. I built walls and stayed behind them and would let very few through. It takes a lot for me to be that open with anyone these days. My circle or tribe, as you say, is small. Trust is a two way street for me and is never granted but earned. Though there are somethings you talk about I don't understand I hear the words and they cause me to think and evaluate. For that I thank you Brother.
Much respect. A man is only as strong as his willingness to kneel before God.
How strange that this popped up as a recommended video. The timeline didn’t add up as I listened while doing the dishes, but I was so moved to tears by this one. I didn’t realize it was several years old. The father wanted me to hear this message today, and to play it for my husband. Bless all of you.
You, Paster Joe, and Nutnfancy just won't let me laydown and give up. Thank you brothers.
Thank you so much for your videos! You reminded me that too often when God tells us to go somewhere, we don’t “Yes, Sir. I’m going.” We argue and stall and backtalk like a child who was told to clean their room. I forget this sometimes. It really IS like chess, and we all know most chess pieces have to make more than 3 moves to get where they’re needed. We ask something of God and then sit and wait for THAT thing. We don’t want to go through all the things that will make US ready for THAT. Thank you, again! Husband and I are still praying to COOHMP! Now it’s time to “man up” with what we have been blessed with so we’ll be ready for the next blessings!
1st off, life is tough. But we (the tribe strong and brave) have gone through life with tests. We can endure a LOT!
2nd glad to hear that you are getting back in shape, I wish I could do better right now than I have been. Good talk!
i lost my home in 2011 to a housefire. nothing was salvageable. my family cried all night but i knew it was a blessing and a chance for us to start a better more healthier life. the home we have now is beautiful and i live in a town that respects its citizens rights. i have so much now that i never would have had i stayed in chicago. im glad i found your channel and i love what you do man
I am humbled by your faith and inspired by your strength! I had to become a patreon!
Thank you for the support, brother!
Thank you for what do you my brother!
I'm so glad I found your you tube channel. This video is 5 years ago but means so much to me today ❤ 😊
I hated and then denied God because of what happened to me, during my childhood. Then (24 painful years later)...out of the blue... I was able to forgive that person, a large weight came off my shoulders and I started seeking out God, again. Then, my daughter started seeing and talking to demons (thinking they were friendly)...I prayed and 2 days later my daughter stopped seeing them and wanted me to teach her how to pray to God. Now, I see that the devil was pulling me away from God and he was successful at it, for a moment in time. The devil put me in a church (as a child) that was not about God but about money and false words. I feel so blessed now that my eyes were finally opened. I love hearing stories about others blessings and their eyes being open. May the most high bless and keep you and your family.
Thanks for all of your work in this channel. Whether it's gear, shtf or motivational talks like this, the content never disappoints.
Thank you brother
2 years late, but thank you. I am a broken man of faith who has failed his family. I wake up every day and pray, fight and put one foot down in front of the other. I hope that I can find the strength to finally acknowledge that I am powerless and give it to God. Blessings to you and yours and thanks for the inspiration.
Your the man I was. The man I want to be again. But life has left me empty. 69 years old and I am lost. semper fi

Most Holy Father, my prayer to you this day is for my brother Steve. I beseech you to take him under your protection, to care and guide him to Your side, to carry him when he needs aid. To take any blinders off his heart and eyes so that he might walk before you as a father Abraham; when you told him to walk before you perfectly and he fell on his face, with the full knowledge that he could not even stand much less walk without your love and guidance.
Remove from before him doubt, of your love and aspirations from his life. I speak this words looking into a mirror in
all humility Brother. We have all had and will continue to have tribulations. But we will be carried through it by our faith, guarding the commandment by the power of the Ruach HaKodesh and it will make us stronger in our faith, our souls and for the days to come.
Numbers 6:22-27The Aaronic BlessingYHWH bless you, and guard you - יְבָרֶכְךָ יהוה, וְיִשְׁמְרֶךָ(Yevhārēkh-khā YAHUAH veyishmerēkhā...)YHWH make His face shine unto you, and be gracious to you -
יָאֵר יהוה פָּנָיו אֵלֶיךָ, וִיחֻנֶּךָּ
("Yāʾēr YAHUAH pānāw ēlekhā viḥunnékkā ...)
YHWH lift up His face unto you, and give to you peace -
יִשָּׂא יהוה פָּנָיו אֵלֶיךָ, וְיָשֵׂם לְךָ שָׁלוֹם("Yissā YAHUAH pānāw ēlekhā viyāsēm lekhā shalom
In so doing, they will place my name on the People of
Israel-I will confirm it by blessing them.”This is one of the most beautiful prayers in the Bible.
Sharing the love our Father has for us.The root words of the Hebrew are amazing; It was explained to me as this.Bless comes from the root berech, which is knee. The Father
takes you as a babe to his knee, like a little child.
Keep you is from the same root word as Shomer; which is to guard. Which is self-explanatory.HE looks on you in favor, giving you blessings more that you deserve.
HE lifts HIS face; The connotation is he must lift you to look up at you. In that a Father
picks up his child is love, and gives you HIS peace in your life.
BaShem Yeshua HaMashiach and we all say, “Amen!”
A good man like you should look into volunteering. I'm a volunteer business mentor for my city. People wanting to start local businesses chat with me about what to expect, how to prepare, etc. It's great to help those that want to be useful to society.
Sir .... keep your chin up and chest out.... thank you for your service....
You're still that man.
Bear my brother, I have found both a new respect and a new love for you today. Thank you very much for posting this video
Great talk, Bear. I too am anxiously awaiting the day I can pack up our house in the 'burbs and move to the country. I think I've found the place, and we're working on details, trying to be patient as the Father directs. I know this is a year old, but I appreciate the words. I know much of what you speak. Keep doing the things.
I don't know why this came up on my feed today, but know that God is still using your message to build people up. Thank you. I needed this.
I have no cool thing to say, except that you are an inspiration to us all! Keep it up!
Military life takes me where it takes me, hoping for an opportunity that’s presented itself away from here. First time I’ve ever felt held back by this organization from achieving what I’m capable of.
This was an excellent talk, I’m not a believer, but I was moved nonetheless
Thank you for this video! I am at this point right now and it is burning down! I dont know what to do or where to go but I appreciate this video and you and your family! I pray for you and your family that things stay on the mend! Once again thank for the video it has helped in some way.
Thank you Bear for helping to keep me reeled in. Bless you all
Well I watched this video 3 years later. I loved this! God has such a way of grabbing our attention. Thanks for sharing your testimony.
So thankful this video popped up. One of your best. Thanks for using your talents!
That was deep and heartfelt, Brother. Great video!
I too struggle with friends. I may love someone to their bone marrow but I may not grab the phone and call them or go visit. I need to do better with that.
Shalom Brother!
Overall Livin’ Amen my brother!
The more you talk to them the better you'll feel.
For me, the best part of our talks (and we have some amazing ones) is the praying together. I look forward to that every time we are together either physically or by phone.
Faith has got me where I am Today, Thank God !!! I Made it, and Have a Happy Veterans Day !!!
You're very real man. Thought provoking and inspiring. I like your outlook and positivity. Materialism and stuff will absolutely start owning the individual. Downsizing and finding what is absolutely important and necessary is crucial to be rewarded peace of mind.
Thank you brother. I'm just trying to do my best to go where I am led.
Awesome testimony of what Father can do in us, with us and through Him. May Father continue to bless you and yours and thank you for being the Warrior Father has raised you to be. Shalom
Wow brother!!
I truly understand where your at.
I lived in central Florida for 25 yrs.
Now here in Oklahoma.
I drove a Simi for 25 + yrs.
Completely distroying my body.
Now I have peace and quiet.
And was truly excited to do 5 push ups..it's getting better.
I have a very hard time making friend. I find it hard to trust.
You keep up the great work!
I'm so glad to have found your channel.

Praying for you and your family
Hope the people that were forclosed on found a new place to live!

And once again bear you inspire me I truly believe God brought me to your Channel for a reason because I can feel my life changing for the good now my life was stagnant I got in a wreck last October I'm still off work and I felt like I was just spinning my wheels I watch your videos and now I get up and I do things I'm walking a mile a day now I'm all prepped up if that's even possible I feel like I'm closer to God than I ever have been instead of fighting I'm following so thank you God bless you and your family I love you all to pieces have a blessed day
Just happened to be scrolling through some of your older videos and God caused me to play it. I thank God for you. I thank God for faith you have. This video has moved me in a way I wasn't expecting. Thank you and Thank God.
Morning all. You are so blessed, things are starting to fall into place for your family. There is a plan for all of us. We just need to follow God's blueprint, I'll leave it at that. Have a wonderful week.
Thank you Bear. Thank you for everything you do brother.
I stumbled upon(now thinking I was directed)this page many months ago if not longer. Came for the gear but found a badass and amazing human doing great things. Keep it up bro.
The Father led me here, much needed talk. THANK YOU, Bear!
You are a great encouragement and role model. I hope and pray that God blesses you even more each day. I hope to be able to provide like you do for my wife and two sons. Praise the Father for His mercy and love.
The BEST VIDEO and the heartfelt outpouring of YOU on all of us is totally humbling..... Thank YOU my Brother for Everything You and the Father have blessed Me and my Family with and continue to do so ..... May Yah bless You ...your Family and your MAG ....I needed to hear this more han You will ever know .....
God is great...it's a great feeling to serve him in action.
I spent most of my life in a big city .I hated it .I moved to the woods with my wife and kids and we have never been so happy so content . It's peaceful . It's slower and a better way of life for my family.god bless you brother
Bear listening to your videos are not a f****** waste of time I can manage to hear you while I'm spending my 5 hours a day driving to and from where I need to drive to and from to you make me think outside the box I appreciate these videos and keep walking outside my friend
Thank you for sharing, Bear. I can relate with most of what you said about moving out of the city!
I moved 4 hours South from the country and into the city, MY SOUL IS SCREAMING to move back to the country, Corbiel, Ontario, Canada .
You and Pastor Joe have brought me around to Christ, not "the church", but the real personal connection : bless you brother.
You sure mean it when you say "the best video ever". You touched my heart & I even cried BUT it was a GOOD CRY!! & I am liking life a whole lot more just knowing you exist. You are motivating & Inspirational. I am so encouraged now. I am amazed by your love & dedication. I feel like celebrating... I feel joyful & hopeful & Above ALL..... BLESSED!!! I can't even remember how I came upon your channel 2 dsays ago but I am CERTAIN that YAHWEH is responsible. Thank You SO MUCH & PRAISE & THANKS TO THE MOST HIGH!!! SHALOM
All praise to The Most High!
It's nice to listen to someone that has good advice and alot of knowledge instead of fear mongering .thanks
I listened to your entire message, couldn’t hit that subscribe button fast enough.
Hey Bear..man..I really gotta give you the props you deserve my friend. I never follow anyone on UA-cam nor do I have any media accounts. But I enjoy your content! I truly look forward to listening to where your mindset is next. You habe said things that helped me deal with things about myself and life. Interesting..I am in a state in my life in which I am in a 'involuntary' start over, and it isn't easy to deal with. Listening to this vid really helped my mindset. Keep doin what your doin brother..it is MUCH appreciated👌
put one foot in front of the other, brother. Shalom.
Father bless, T, "riotous rage" struck me right in the chest. It truly scares me at how angry I can get. I NEED this word, your insight is so dope, thank you so much. 🙏
Dude, I haven't even finished watching this and I feel compelled to message ya. This is the second time the father has spoken to me through video in the past couple hours. Wranglerstar dropped a video today and it was a study on the prodigal son and GOD spoke to me through that and now through you in this video. My "all" didn't burn down, but, it was destroyed. 6 yrs ago, I was unemployed. All my utilities was turned off and the city found out..they gave 3 days to come up with the money and turn ALL of them back on. Of course, I couldn't do it so two "code enforcement officers" and two cops kicked me out of my own home. TWO days before Christmas. Then the city tore my home down. That was my childhood home. lived there literally my whole life. (45 yrs at that point) i Took my fist steps in this house and it's gone. I was now homeless. I literally begged GOD on my knees not to let it happen and it happened anyway. Within a few months, I found myself in a men's program at a Baptist church. It was hard. Had alot of bad times there. But, more good times. Looking back, I see now why the father let it happen. To bring me closer to him. He knows how to get our attention. I have an apartment now. while living In the woods, I was taking care of a stray cat and I was even able to bring him to the apartment with me. We've been together for almost 4 yrs. Life is good now. You are such an inspiration. You do good work and this "burn it down" video was a AWSOME testimony. Bless you, brother. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for sharing your story. God bless you and your family. You continue to inspire me with your videos. You have a unique and needed voice on UA-cam.
Great talk! Thanks for keeping it real. You have a beautiful family and are truly blessed. You have already touched more people than you will ever know. Keep following the Spirit!
Brother, I thought you were a hot air bag that talked about some cool stuff, but this video game me a new respect for you and were you are coming from. HIS power is transformative!
Thank you sir. Again words going right to the heart. Much needed and appreciated, can't thank you enough. My prayers are with you all!
thank you brother for the prayers
From one broken vessel to another thank you! Praises to the Most High! Blessings!
You were me 25 years ago. I checked out of the suburbs. I knew there was something missing in my life, but didn't act on it. I joined the church 2 years ago. It's a long story, but I'm so glad this prodigal son found his way. Stay blessed and live the Advent.
I to am a follower of Christ and a poor sinner...and old soldier. Your words touched me brother...the warrior ethos and faith have carried me back from where I could never returned on my own. Thanks for the reminder...to listen, follow and submit to his will. Blessing on you and your family you are in my prayers.
great talk brother! Thank you for sharing your life with all of us. It means a lot to me and lifts me up!
Inspiring words by a wise man. Losing a child, a gentle young man to colon cancer has been devastating to our family. Losing a job to 9/11, failing business, divorce, illness - none of those hold a candle to losing a beloved son.
All i can say is Amen bro💪🙏🙏
Bear, you stirred something inside me that has never been stirred. My life has burned down as your shop. I knew I was missing something, maybe this is what was missing. I think I will go to church this Sunday, first time in 20 years. I tried to do it alone, but it hasn't worked. Maybe I could use a little help from someone above. I don't know where to go anymore, maybe the spirit does... Ty, my life needs the touch that yours did... Before hearing your story I couldn't admit it to myself. I have done everything else humanly possible, except surrender myself to the higher power. As you said, you'd never say something if you didn't know, so what the hell, nothing left to lose. I will try giving my path to the Father, I hope it leads to simplicity for me as it did for you...
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful video. I thank God and you for this. It was much needed.
Never know what to expect with the videos just watch them all! This is a great video! Keeo doing what you do!
It’s been 2 years since you’ve made this video.. but I needed this.
Great testimony, brother! I have had a similar experience. I'm living on 16 acres of beautiful country in southeast Idaho, with a mountain range in my backyard. Pretty much heaven. Now, ironically, my family and I are being called in another direction and to new adventures.
Thanks Bear. Just needed a calming voice today and not the tumult of the world. I'd have listened even if you were viole ntly talking. Be blessed.
A very deep and personal testimony, full of hope and positive messages. Heavy impact. Thank you.
Man I was going back to watch some of your older stuff and around the 25 min mark you're spitting pure truth. Well the entire video but I feel some portions are more pertinent to certain people. God bless.
Unknowingly needed this today. Thank you!
Thanks Bear. Love this show and appreciate you.
I’m 3 odd years late on this vid but I have to comment that you personally have changed how I see where I should be going..thank you so much Bear
Love your testimony! Blessings to you and your precious family!
I greatly appreciate your channel, especially your un-apologetic faith in Jesus Christ, our Lord!
Keep up the good work, and fight the good fight of faith in the Lord our God. Blessings to you and your precious family!
