Love the campfire chat Keep up amazing work you do Thank you!!

@rickl9253 Год назад

I love your channel. I especially enjoyed this episode because of the message of hope that you brought. We have a small Class C RV that we really enjoy, but I'm one year into treatment for cancer and it has been difficult for us to use it or to get away due to doctor visits or treatments. With that, Karen mentioned about y'all taking prayer requests, so I'd humbly as you to pray for me. I'm so ready to get well and get camping again. We love the Smokies and miss being there often. Thanks and blessings, Rick Lightfoot

Fried taters with onion is the bomb. I love butter, salt, and pepper with taters. Might try fried canned taters in camp. So nice to camp with a 🔥 and got chocolate and a cozy safe enclosed place to sleep with some amenities inside. We love our RPOD, ALL SELF CONTAINED. Happy Camping....yes, our hope is for a cleansed earth free from sin and Satan

@mattgarr57 Год назад

Yes! Speaking hope and encouragement through Jesus! My favorite part of this video. Heaven was smiling through that part of the video too. I really liked when you said, “we just don’t hope, we have a relationship”. When we have a relationship with Jesus, we advance from hoping to knowing. Keep sharing. Here’s an idea. Have each video have a message about “hope for today”, and share a message, say a prayer, offer prayer requests, etc. Also at the end, say a blessing over your audience. Then watch your channel explode. By the way, I used to motorcycle tour all through the Blue Ridge…… eastern WV, southwest VA, eastern KY, east TN, and western NC. I miss it, but for some reason still not revealed, God wanted me to give up that hobby, but anyway, that’s how I originally found Mike’s videos.

@kathyadkins816 Год назад

We have a 36' Class A with 2 slides. As we've gotten older, I wish we had a smaller camper. Takes a lot of planning and energy to do a trip. We found through the years, eating out was much easier and better for us (we're in our 70's) but used to enjoy all the outdoor cooking. It became such a chore to drag all that in and out of the RV. Happy camping!
