    Hey we don't need a reason. I bet you anything 99% of the comments you get are just glad you are ok.
    I am very happy to see you and know that you are all ok. Even though we don't know each other you feel like family and was getting a little worried :)

    These camping videos aren't easy to produce, making a camp, looking after dogs and then filming it all which entails setting up the camera hundreds of times, that is exhausting, then coming home and editing all that footage and uploading it (pain in the ass). I love and respect what you do Matt and if real life is more important at this time im sure true fans will understand.

    Hi Matthew. I'm just an old lady who happened to be you tube surfing one day and found your channel. I love your videos and have seen most of them. I always look forward to seeing your latest work. I feel like I'm in the wilderness, out camping and fishing. It's so relaxing to be able to watch it all happen and not have to do any of the work. I love the outdoors and the way all of it seems so easy for you. It brings me joy, as I'm sure it does to so many others. What you are doing is important, helping so many people learn to appreciate the wilderness as well as experience it vicariously through your videos. I have caught mysef mumbling your quirky sayings like "soupy" and "not too much salt..." I just want you to know that people really enjoy you and your personality. They miss it when it's not there. If you need a break for any reason, please take a break because no one should get burned out doing what they love. But also remember that you are truly loved by your followers, so please don't leave us hanging. We care.

      Hi Connie, what a beautiful comment. I really hope Matthew gets to read it as it so perfectly says what so many of us want to say. I don’t think he realises that his subscribers do really care about him & his Family & we worry when we don't hear from him.

      My thoughts exactly, that my worst fear had happened on his last adventure. Places like the BWCA take a number of lives every year. Best of my knowledge, Matt doesn't carry a PLB or satellite communicator, nor any weapons either. I kept checking his last video for possible news.
      Already lost one of my favorite youtube outdoor adventurers, (RIP MegaWoodswalker) and I don't want have it happen to anyone else.

    Hi Matthew, hope your "Hot, Weird Summer" has started to cool down now. Such a relief to see this video, I'm sure you've gathered, we were starting to get a little worried about you.
    It's So great to hear you want to get back to some Bushcrafting stuff 👍😀 . I've missed that type of thing in your videos.
    I'm also really intrigued by the Jake-Ski-Guy Winter trip you mentioned, hope it happens, you appeared to have so much fun on the '6 Nights of Extremely Cold Winter Camping in a Hot Tent' trip & you seemed to learn a lot from it.
    Hopefully you can get out in your Canoe soon & get to doing some fishing, as I'm sure you're itching to be out, &, I have to admit, I'm really missing your new videos & your Chit Chat 😀. But having said that I don't want you pushing yourself until you're completely ready & everything is settled in your life.
    Have a great week, hopefully with some Fishing 😃, sending much love & cooler weather from the UK 😀⛅💛 , Rachel.

  • @nonnaurbizness1989
    @nonnaurbizness1989 Рік тому +1

    Dude, you put in a TON of time and effort to produce all this content for us.
    Beautiful shot framing, time-consuming camera placement and paddle-bys (followed by the return to do the pickup), editing and inserting clips from previous vids ("I waited all day for you . . . OH!!!"), not to mention cooking and dehydrating the sghetti, preparing the gear inventory (and occasionally forgetting a tarp), driving 8 hours to get there . . . and I'm sure I'm missing out a ton of stuff.
    You take all the time you need.
    If you had a Ferrari, you wouldn't drive it pedal-to-the-metal all the time, cos it would break. So don't do it to yourself either. :)

    So this is my second comment this morning, I’ve been thinking 🤔 you should just take off July and August every year. I clean peoples houses for a job and other than a couple weekly jobs I take off July and August. It allows me to spend time with my kids while they are not in school and just enjoy life. You deserve it Matthew! We all love you guys and want you to be happy. Something to think about for next year! ❤️❤️😎

    Glad you're back and doing well. The past two months have been crazy, my chihuahua turned 10, got diagnosed with cancer and a month and a half later, during 2 weeks of vacation, I had to say goodbye to him. The next day I couldn't be home & stumbled across a clinic where I got my 4th covid shot & one for monkey pox. 2 days later (3 after loosing my dog) I turned 50, then got an email saying I lost my job post 2 days ago. Yesterday I was vetted for a new post. I swear I'm one woman leaving me away from being a hit country western song.

    OMG that spot your talking from must be beautiful when the leaves turn colors. What a beautiful view behind you. "that would make a good camping spot." The heat was abnormally strange this year. People that dont normally sweat would start dripping sweat just walking short distances. The heat in the East "temps" finally broke over night and dropped to cool 70s. "So glad since I hate summer and always have." It's just to long. So happy you are fine and all is well with the family. 💜👍

    Always good to hear from you Posa, take as much time as you need. Mental health isn't talked about enough

    Missed y’all and glad to see you back. I wasn’t worried; you said you were going on a big trip, and youtubers take breaks like the rest of the world. Happy fall! (And you have inspired me to finally take that car trip through the northern tier of states. I’m headed through UP Michigan among lots of other places in October and I cannot wait. PS I hope there’s not too much snow.)
