*This is your chance to tell me if you want me to stand up and talk, or keep quiet and carry on fighting my silent battle to "be me" in a way that I see fit. You decide now, if you want to give me a voice to speak up for my rights to be "masculine" in a way that I find natural, or acquiesce to the greater force that have been rising around us. If you want me to go silent, bear down, and fight, I will, if you want me to share my thoughts verbally, I'm happy to do so; your call. This won't be a regular thing, but every so often, I may need to speak up, but it's up to you to decide.* Trying out something new with this video. Near the end I will talk about hunting, fishing and the general outdoors as it pertains to "modern masculinity." I want everyone to know that I genuinely care about you and want you to know that you aren't alone in your drive to thrive in a modern world. If nothing else, I want to convey to you that your feelings and instincts about provisioning, hunting, gathering, fishing, whether you actually act on them or not, are completely natural and inherent which may be in complete contrast to what you've been taught in school, or maybe even by your parents, and certainly by society at large. As men we are designed to nurture in a way that seems foreign in our modern times, but this doesn't make it evil or something to be vilified, but rather celebrated, and held in high esteem. To procure game and provide to loved ones, is a gift as valuable as protecting an infant from harm, both are primal, and necessary to human existence. Celebrate your masculinity, and when facing criticism, do as all great men throughout history have done; double and triple your efforts. Make your critics grow weak and force their retreat. If this is something you enjoy listening to and would like me to expand on these ideas, or don't, please let me know in the comments. If you are looking for meaning as a man, I would highly recommend you listen to Dr. Jordan Peterson in the interim: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-USg3NR76XpQ.html
Long time watcher here. You are right on the money with standing up for masculinity and saying there is in fact nothing to be ashamed of for being a man, and teaching our young boys how to be proper men. The sad thing is that people are divided now, and don't have open minds. A big me vs you mentality these days and i'm afraid all the pc and feminist men out there lack the ability to see others' sides and rarely practice what they preach about letting people be who they want to be.
I've had this discussion with my son before, sadly he can't find the words right away, as many boys, even me his age couldn't do it. So can I ask you, what you said? How did you react, what did you say in your defense? These sorts of things really bother me. I feel so empathetic to our young men and want to help.
Well , I've watched you and Jerr for a long time , always enjoyed the quality of the videos and the good character presented. I remember , as a small kid , playing ' cowboys & Indians during recess , , , circle the wagons , hide the women and save the wagon train , and yes , I'm an old fart that remembers B & W TV :- ) I grew up thinking that football players were masculine and cheerleaders were girls that were curvy and nice to look at, but out of reach for guys with acne. . After I joined the Army , I discovered that if I could shoot a gun , and shoot it well , my acne didn't matter. . Well , I don't think things have changed all that much. . The liberal media has tried to change it though , that's why I don't watch TV so much these days , most of it's pure crap...
I'm only a teen and I enjoy watching these videos. I like the fact that you're standing up for your opinion and inspire the young mind to be develop/bloom into a person who will be someone in the future.
I care about our boys. As much as we have encouraged girls in the last 30 years, boys are still a major part of our future. And don't let anyone tell you that you aren't someone now. Your importance or influence on the world will grow with you so long as you ignore all the other crabs in the bucket trying to claw you down. There are very few people that you will find who celebrate your success without taking shots to hold you back. Ignore this. It's lonely at the top - remember that.
When I was a boy in the 40's, my family depended on the squirrels and rabbits I shot for food and I fished daily to add to the fare on the table. Of course, I lived in a rural Texas area where I hunted and fished on a daily basis. In those days, it was expected that young men in the family to do this for sustenance and duty. It was a way to teach boys a sense of responsibility, independence, give them exercise and control for animals that had no predators. Thumbs up! Clark
What u are doing with the lad is so important skills have been slowly forgotten and people dont do this anymore ive been doing stuff like this a lot its so much fun and good with friends. Thanks for another video !
Don't forget about all the daughters out there! My dad was blessed...probably not to his liking..lol with all girls. 3 of us..he took me camping, fishing and hunting. Taught me how to live off the land. I loved it all. So no matter if you have sons or daughters you should teach them what you know.
I agree. Taking daughters out exposes them to "real men"....so much I hate that it needs to be said that way. It exposes them to MEN (period). The kinds of men that will treat daughters well because they know how to be fair and work hard and provided and care.
The Wooded Beardsman it's gonna take a "real man" to handle my daughter. At 9 years old she has already taken a whitetail deer, turkey, and lots of squirrels. Her deer jerky is better than most, and she also regularly outfishes dad. My son is 3 and he shoots his .22lr and air rifle with me. Some people think that is too young. Some people are knuckleheads. Keep up the great work with your son!!! We don't need to be a dying breed.
Sir you are spot on with your trail side chat. It is amazing to see and hear somebody put themselves out there with a strong opinion. It is a shame that the “norm” are telling our boys to be less aggressive and less masculine. Society has to remember that males and females are different. God made them that way! Go out and be a boy, learn to become a man and learn to take care of your family like God intended you to. Thank you for saying this. God bless you, your boy and your family.
5280 Adventures the norm isn’t to be less aggressive and less masculine. it’s simply telling boys that you don’t need to act a certain way to be more or less of a man. fathers teach their boys not to cry and act out their emotions and in return it makes them feel alone. they don’t need to fit a certain image to be tough.
Facts: Majority of us have appreciated all hard work you've done since 1st video. Method of hunting for fresh foods is better than heading to grocery stores to purchase chemicals
I’m probably your only black fan lol, but I’d like to thank you for these videos. Netflix has taken all the good “Wild” shows and you came in and saved the day. Keep up the great work!
Ha! Well, I can't see color, so we're all black or something LOL. Dude, anyone is welcome. As long as you're cool around the fire and contribute, anyone is welcome, male, female, alien!!!
PacMan PrimeTime nice. I’d love to see healthy father and son relationships flourish once again in the black community. I believe we have all been subjected to forces seeking to break up the family and increase our reliance on the government.
Proud of you bro ! You are a man's man ! I like hunting and using my gun too ! Thank you for standing up and not being a coward !! Thumbs up. ENJOY... THE SIMPLE LIFE
Woodbeard, great video! As a father of two young boys I am encouraged by this content. If you ever find your way to Sweden, you are welcome in my world!
The issue with modern society is everyone wants to be so clean. Most parents would rather let their children play video games all day rather than playing in the dirt. When I was a kid I would swim in muddy ponds. We need bacteria to strengthen our immune systems. Nowadays when people are so clean a common flu puts then in a hospital. Keep up the good work woodsman! This is by far my favorite channel! I watch your videos over everything else and also my kids are on my lap watching right along with me
Swam in drainage ponds growing up in Calgary, will still swim for a duck or goose that goes down in the beaver pond( so yes I swim with the muskrats and beavers) Only have the reds where I live ( like almost chipmunk size) so food animals start at rabbit size, bush rabbits ( not hares) are only slightly larger than the grey squirrel ( if society collapses I could hunt greys in Calgary, 6 hour drive away, lol) Have eaten a lot of squirrels in my day but a hp 22lr tends to not leave much of a red squirrel for eating.
I have always felt you were one of the few true voices for the advocacy of outdoor proficiency. If you were forced to stop making your videos it would be a huge loss to all of us. Please keep it up for as long as you can.
I really appreciate you sharing your views on raising a boy. I recently became a father (literally a week ago) and have spent a lot of time thinking about raising a successful man in todays society. I’m 33 and have only been hunting for about 4 years, and it has changed my perspective on life. I have always enjoyed fishing, and outdoor activities but didn’t really understand hunting until I did it. Thanks again, I always enjoy the videos where your son is involved and I can’t wait to share these sorts of activities with my own.
You'll do fine! Congrats. Put yourself in his shoes and show him how to be calm and controlled, that's the most important. Right now I'm teaching my son how to be a good leader and care for other people who look up to him. But first he had to learn how to control his emotions, or at least how he acted on them. He's doing great.
I may be a bit biased because I love hunting and fishing/nature etc but I agree with all the stuff you said. I love the fact that my husband loves hunting and fishing, I couldn't be fully content without it personally. Really appreciate you sharing your thoughts. Been watching your channel since you started it, happy for you that it's growing so fast!
You're one of the good ones. Thanks for supporting us right now, men certainly need it in this political climate. It's pretty ridiculous out there. Stick together, you're weaker apart.
Texas here.... Truly enjoy your videos. Awesome to see you taking you urgently son out... No need to reply to this but I scrolled down through all the comments and couldn't believe how many you responded to. I hope this all grows for you and you can make a hell of a living from it.. You are very impressive!
I agree totally! 100% my dad took us fishing and hunting we played sports. And boys don’t have enough of that. I’m am older like you. But my boys have been out with me every yr hunting and fishing and campfires. It’s awesome for boys to get out and do this stuff! I still love it. Will always love it! Great video wood beard!!!
i wish a had a few friends that’d be interested in primitive living for like a day or two ! i love how it looks. then i live in the city so that’d be a deep travel from home
Yeah, it's hard to find people with any grit anymore. You can try doing solo stuff and hopefully convince a few people to tag along. I also prefer doing things with other people, but it gets hard with family and work.
My stance is if you eat meat you cannot condemn hunting and fishing. Conventional meat farming is a worse life, and with wild animals they have a chance to live still but farm animals are destined to end up at the market. People don't necessarily have to hunt or fish but can't deny someone's access.
I agree with you there, the funny thing is that the same people who whine about hunting are often the same that jump on the "free-range, organic" marketing ploy. Well you can't get any more free-ranged or organic than something you harvested from the wild!
It's all just virtue signaling. People pretend they are morally superior because they don't do it themselves. Once you see through it, their hate for you becomes empty and they lose. Don't take the bait and turn the tables, it ends discussions quickly. I don't pretend to be a bad person because I hunt, but I don't rub it in people's faces either or bring it up more than necessary.
The Wooded Beardsman for sure man, my fiance says she could never go hunting herself but doesn't care that I do and wants me to go because the meat is good and so much healthier than store bought, and I've explained my stance on why I hunt
I half agree. As someone who used to work for a major livestock producer, some blood test studies show caged chickens have far lower stress hormones present than free-range chickens. Less predators, less worry about food, constant comfortable temperature, etc. - just like people in 1st world vs 3rd world countries, less stressors on the primal needs of the animal. If I had to be a farm animal it would definitely be a wagyu or kobe cow... but that's another matter. I'm definitely pro-hunting though, keep the species from overpopulating and the individual animals will have more room, food, etc. per head, meaning happier (and tastier) wildlife.
You will never regret training your son about the things of the woods. Where their food really comes from. Thank you for taking the time to do that. Your right about getting them out of the house. Get outside and have fun with them. They will do the same for their children and on and on. Ray . . . Oklahoma
wow. the second haft was very good. I agree with everything you said and feel less like Im alone thinking that way. Survival lily started a second channel to put the videos that piss off you tube. maybe a good place to put the showshoe video and the ones that get flagged. keep doing what you do ! got my grohmann knife in the mail today!!
Thank you for standing up for us men! Men are different than women! My wife and I embrace our differences. I don’t agree with everything, nor should I expect you to agree with everything I believe. Love that you aren’t cowing down to the social media bullying. Love your programs! I got hooked in a while ago, and decided to watch all your stuff from the beginning. Godspeed your fight for your beliefs, and God bless you and your family!
I dont know if you see this or not but every word you said was 100% true. Ive always been into guns, fighting, war and hunting. Never got to hunt but i plan on going eventually. I watch plenty of hunting videos so i know what im doing when i actually go.
And there's NOTHING wrong with that! I'm telling you straight up that it's completely normal for you to be wired the way you are. We hear this so little anymore. Boys will be boys, and that's GREAT. Men have built all the things you see around us, all of modern society is man's gift to the world.
It does make it difficult when you grow up without a good role model to teach you. I missed out on alot of experiences in my life. Sad to say i have to rely on strangers on the internet to teach me how do any of the things you do.
I hear you loud and clear, but you have what you need already inside you. Follow your gut instincts and find role models around you. I had to learn a lot too. Look up Dr. Jordan Peterson. It's a vortex of really great and inspiring discussions. I dug deep into his talks not long ago. Even us that had fathers around, didn't always have great ones. Boys need to learn from many men.
When i begin my adventures i promise i will take photos and videos for you because i want to encourage you to continue to make these videos. You make a difference to many people sir. There are alot of people that do not comment or speak out just like me but we rely on your guidance. I wish my father was more like you but you work with what you got. Anyways thanks for all the great content.
As a junior in college you truly inspire me with all of these videos. This makes me want a son more than I ever have and makes me think about what kind of father I want to be especially in regards to building the bonds between a father and son as well as the bonds between my son and nature. I love this talk afterwards and please keep doing what you are doing this is amazing.
Great vid! Great talk!!. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone that shares the exact same world views as me intill now, I understand what you were saying when you said our society/culture is becoming feminized and weak and it’s a threat because other cultures are not, anyway... thumbs up as usually great chan! Cheers from sudbury Ontario
The Wooded Beardsman I wish you would post your talk as a separate vid so I can share it on fb..... I’d love to share the whole vid but I have to many millennial type ppl on my fb and I just don’t have time to battle them all right now...
I know its an old video but I'm still working my way up from the very first video. The way you break down being a male in this day and age and going out and being a hunter, fisherman or just a woodsman like yourself is exactly what the boys and men in this country need.
BEST VIDEO - EVER! Your talk on teaching young boys how to go out and be boys is what so many people need to be hearing. Excellent and thank you so much for this!!
Well I finished the video. I'd say you just keep being you. There is absolutely no one on this planet that was asked prior if he or she wanted to be here or not. No one is put here for a purpose it is up to them if they will serve a purpose to impact humanity or the planet. I tell my kids it's up them if they want to pissing away their lives or get out and take advantage of what there is to offer. I started making videos to just have fun and get my mind off of work and other things and maybe leave something for grandkids to see how it used to be. Since then I've heard from my daughter a few of her classmates are now into bowfishing and the outdoors more now because of my videos. That makes me feel good I admit. If you've seen any of my videos you know my motto is Get off the couch. We must hand down our skills to our young as outdoorsman and women or yes our strong culture we vanish. Great video And STAY OFF THE COUCH 👍
I really like this channel. I don't know why but it's relaxing to me. Watching human do what human should do, without any music... only the sound of nature. And you are a well spoken person. Thank you man.
Well said my Farther was a hunter , Camper , Mechanic . He taught me and my brother how to go into the woods and provide . How to set up a camp . I took this a little farther i learn several ways to cook clean wild caught food . i`m` 63 and I still go to the woods and practice these things .
that moment when you live in California and you can't even light a fire let alone shoot a squirrel. too many younger generation is stuck on being by them selves playing games and such, great vid please make disclaimers on a proper way on obtaining proper means to hunt.
I love this video. This whole channel actually. I grew up in northern Michigan, my dad worked and so did my mother (it's a pretty poor place in Michigan) so alot of times I would hunt the grouse and squirrels on the land by the house. Take it home and eat it. I loved it. I didn't realize it wasn't "normal" until I went to college. I felt so out of place, but i was me, and i stayed me. I moved back to the same area and live just like i did then. I love the way I live. And I'm glad that you're on here and are so well spoken about it. Thank you sir.
my son and I watch the Catfish and Carp channel, and spoke about how they will likely never go fishing with us because they are not in Canada. Today my son asks if Chris and his son are coming to Canada? I laughed and told my son that Chris and his son live in Canada, Ontario, not too far, but far enough. We'll see what happens. He is excited to get out with kid his age.
Just wanted to say you are bang on. As a person who hunts and fishes we shouldn't feel we need to apologize for what we love to do. It wasn't that long ago people had to hunt and grow just to eat or they didn't make it. The people who say what you do is wrong must forget about how their ancestors lived. I think it's great that you get your son out and involved in the outdoors. Society is producing a generation of kids who are just going to be dependents and will lack and kind of problem,social or coping skills. Keep doing what you love to do ignore the haters and kudos to your wife and you for the way you're raising your son who will be a well rounded young man in the future.
It's just as right to do it now as it ever was. We haven't replaced hunting and fishing with anything better...as much as modern agriculture and farming pretends to be better. Now I don't crap all over modern life, I accept it, just as I accept traditional ways and values. I think it's only fair.
In an era today where masculinity is being bashed and not many men are stepping up; I really appreciate your words towards the end of the video! Definitely a role model man. Keep up the great content.
Can women go out and hunt or is it just for the "boys"? I live in the south and love to hunt and fish but you seem to only talk to men. I love your show but as a woman I feel like you only talk to the male audience and not everyone. Women like to hunt and shoot guns too.
Sydney Smith yeah. Right on. Phenotypes and genotypes will certainly have inclusions and exclusins in the sexes. But behavioural modules are not mutualy exclusive.
My grandfather used to be a hunter I enjoyed every bit of game that he brought in. I hope you continue to make your videos I enjoy them all seeing you and your family spend time together in the woods doing things that men them raising your boy to do things that men do it's a pleasure keep up the good work and your wife is a rockstar for hanging with you guys laugh out loud
I really like and enjoy your videos and I don't mind if you try to satisfy your requirements on masculinity. I'm not here to judge or discuss that, just do what you think is right. BUT, since your audience is international, please do not just tell kids to go out and hunt squirrels. In some countries (like Germany) you can't just go out and hunt/shoot at squirrels, so at least mention that or limit it to Canada next time you talk about something like that. Other than that, this was an awesome video, as usual ;) Will there be a video about the skinning? Or do they still keep getting demonetized?
I think it is so awesome your son is into this with you...so many kids just want to hang out with their friends, party and play video games..you're a lucky man
As a social scientist and doctoral candidate, brother, and more importantly a husband to an amazing woman, and stepfather who is raising a young boy into a man; I am inspired and affirmed by your words and deeds. Please continue making these amazing videos, setting an example of what a man's foundation is. Please keep up the commentary when you can. God bless you Brother and Semper Fidelis. I cannot wait to get back in the wild...
So powerful! Watched this video dozens of times. Shared dozens of time to my friends that have son. Chris, thank you so much your positivity changing the world!
WB, I can't thank you enough for your amazing insight. I screwed up with my son and hopefully, I can make up for it some day. You are absolutely right man. Let's encourage our son's to become good men with enough common sense to take care of themselves and those near to them. You promote an amazing way of life and a way to teach our sons how to become good decent men.
Just wanna say I love your videos. You’re a kind fellow, and you know masculinity isn’t all about grunting and beating your chest and trying to prove your dominance over everyone else but about using your genetics to your advantage. A real man helps his fellow man, doesn’t put them down. Love the vids, keep it up! I’m gonna try and cook everything I can shoot or hook down here in Florida and I’m using your methods to help me out.
Exactly! This is a lesson that my son is ready to learn. He can use leadership to help and that it's not about dominating everyone, but lifting everyone.
Mate your a true legend. You have clarified everything I have always known but have never been able to explain! I genuinely feel better about the way I have led my life. I turned 21 today and wish it hadn’t taken me this long to realise we are the way we are and I haven’t been leading the wrong life it’s just different to societies conventional “norm”. Thank you wood beard!
your videos are fantastic, I am gonna go camping with my girlfriend over my spring break just because these videos have inspired me and made me miss so much of what I used to do when I was a younger boy. Keep up the great work man!
I recently stumbled upon your videos and the joy I get from watching you cook what you catch is great. However, the second half of this video really showed how much wisdom you possess and I want to thank you for your kindness.
Dude, I've wanted to hit the thumbs up button in about 40 different spots of this video but it only allows me to do it once. Keep doing what you're doing because society needs to recognize the issues at hand here in the United States.
Oh my god. You are awesome that you're teaching your child properly survival in the woods I am happy to say that I wish there are more guys like liked you doing what your doing
Excellent! Very well said!! I recently found your channel through Zack Fouler's channel and very glad to have found you all. I've been watching my way through all his, yours and your combined associated channels. Your talk was an inspiration even to me and I'm a 41 year old medically retired Federal Law Enforcement Ranger, US National Park Service. Keep up the good work, keep up the shows and know you are helping others in ways you can't even guess. Respectfully: Paul E.
Well Thought out Video, I,m almost 60 and It brought me back to when My Dad Taught Me how to Skin Rabbits and Squirrels when I was 8 years old.While Watching You and your Son. It brought back some Good Memories for Me , So Thank You and Your Son...
i remember as a little boy asking my dad to take me fishing even though he never did it himself. he would just say "we'll go sometime" but never took me. i think from a young age i started to notice the lack of masculinity in the household and wanted to spend quality time with my dad outdoors to try to change things. i had this desire to explore. all of that was suppressed and i grew up with no direction/purpose in life. but as an adult now, i need to stop making excuses and start doing. i mainly just want to move out of here and become financially independent and meet like minded individuals. i found that i do not identify with anyone in my family at all and the internet became my escape. thank you for these inspirational videos. they help a ton!
Your the man! Your totally right for what you say! I’m almost 37 and when I was in 9th grade I was obsessed with mountain man culture and was drawing a flint lock musket in some spare time in class and a teacher saw it and tried to get me in trouble??!?? A teaches aid “another woman” stoped her and said that’s what he’s into he’s not a violent boy he just likes to draw things like that. Thank you for doing what you do and providing knowledge for everyone learn and enjoy. You have my absolute support from one ginger beard to another!
I'm happy that someone stepped in for you. Otherwise you might have really though what you were doing was wrong. Our boys need this! They need to know that they are okay.
I grew up with a little bit of fishing and no hunting. These last several years I have gotten huge into fishing, pursuing every species of fish colorado has to offer. As soon as I gain my gun rights back (long story) i will be starting my hunting journey. I love watching your videos! They make me hate that i dont have access to a firearm, too broke right now to buy a bow and have no where to practice. I have 1 friend who hunts, i bought a gwp from him, and am trying to get him to take me out for squirrel and duck, then eventually bigger game. Im very fascinated by the way you use all of your surroundings. Living in a bigger city I see all these "men" that have never experienced these opportunities before and it shows. When i have children I will be showing them how to be self sufficient just as you are. Thank you for the videos and standing your ground! We are a dying breed of men in the west sadly.
Thanks for sharing Davin! I think you're on the right track and am glad that you are continuing to push forward with what I can see is something natural. You and I are on the same page!
Thank you Sir, for telling it like it IS. I love you and Jeremys channel and your hunts. Keep doing what you're doing and bring back the details of each hunt, and outdoor living. We all love what your doing so don't change. Love the Commentary at the end as well, your a GREAT Story teller as well as Outdoorsman. Peace and Bear Grease!!
Chris, totally love watching your videos......I dig how you & Jeremy survived the wilderness challenge, and appreciate how you are respectful while in the woods........Keep Truckin' Beardsman.......doing a great job.....!....
Amen brother! I could talk about this kind of thing for hours. I’m conservative and 61 years old. Grew up in a small town but lived practically every day on the farm that we owned outside of town that hardwoods in a lake. I added this to “favorites”. This is a huge problem in America. I worked with two Boy Scout troops in upstate New York before I move to southern Missouri. It was like pulling teeth to get them to even go outside. God bless you and your family. John
Wow, that's really sad. I'm glad you did your best with them. I'll do what I can, but it takes more than 2 people to change things back to where they belong.
Great to see Holden is out enjoying nature with you! I'm sure your excited to do a wilderness challenge with him. He will be great help. Thumbs up and SPEAK OUT!
I've been binge watching your videos for a few weeks now, sir and I absolutely love them. I guess I have always felt like this, just subconsciously. I guess the feminine culture in the state of CALIFORNIA has really taken my masculinity, which i totally agree it has, but never have I thought about it like this. Thank you so much for standing up for yourself and helping people like me realize we're not in the wrong for wanting to be young 18 year old men. P.S, how would me and my older brother get started on hunting for the very first time with absolutely no experience. Thank you so much and stay badass, sir.
Find a local hunting forum and start reading! I learned to hunt deer from scratch doing that and then going out into the field and learning through trial and error. I didn't start hunting deer until I was in my early 20's and spent about 5 years straight learning. It was a great experience! Start with small game if you want though, it will be easier.
Thank you for talking about these issues! This is the most important issue and that we to rectify for the sake of humanity! Thank you brother! I STAND WITH YOU!
The world needs more men like you sir. I am happy I have found this channel. I grew up in the country, I had parents that were very outdoorsy, but my school and teachers feminized me and sad to say, it worked. It took years to undo everything that I was taught and to change my behavior to what it was meant to be. I went through so many relationships, couldn't keep a girl because I was always the "nice guy" the "pretty boy" etc... One day, around the age of 24, I decided enough was enough. I decided I was going to stop letting people walk all over me. I started speaking up for myself, as awkward as it was, and I was going to make something of myself. I am now at the age of 28 and am so happy at what I've become. But there is still much I have to learn and re-learn. The one thing I learned from this video is that the best way for me to become what I was biologically meant to be is to go get my gun and get back outdoors. Thank you again for this video, and God bless you sir. Subscribed!
So honest and true 👏. I have three boys that will be watching this video!!! They love hunting and fishing as much I as I do and love your channel. I haven't seen someone nail it like you have in this video. perfect 👌. Thanks for sharing your life and adventures with us💪
your a great man and your doing this world a favor by teaching us young men and boys a good outlook on life. you've had a huge impact on my life and ive only been watching for 3 weeks, keep up the fantastic work
Your channel rocks! I live watching ur videos! And keep standing up for our outdoors ways. I also love the speach at the end... BRAVO BROTHER KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!
Great vid! I use your vids to show to my son because I'm not able to go out and hunt and fish. So I showed my son the bear hunt and how you ate it and we talked about how it's natural to hunt and fish. Now i will show him this vid so he can see a boy in nature. Thanks for sharing with your tribe.
i would like to say that my son 11 years old became a subscriber today. this video this trail side chat touched his heart a direct quote. we live in the city not really hunters but find the material on this channel to be very eye opening. i do fish and hope to take the boy and his brothers small game hunting. thank you guys please keep it up. we need this in america more than ever.
I agree with you %100 brother, I'm lucky to have a great group of friends to get out there with and hunt, fish and camp. It truly does create an extremely strong bond between everyone and you become family in a sense. Really appreciate your videos man, and everything you're for, I've actually picked up quite a few things from your channel so thanks again!
I am learning off this channel how almost exactly I am going to rewild myself. So great information and I appreciate you Chris W.B. and Jeremy and want to thank you so much for this info for free... Man can't beat this.
Loved the video, especially the trail side chat. As a father to an adventurous 10 year old boy and a fellow outdoorsman, my hat is off to you for communicating what many of us feel and deal with in life. This world is getting a little scary when they are trying to completely change the way men are wired. Thank you!
I don't comment on videos very often, but i just wanted to take a minute to thank you for your trail side chat. It really connected with me as a young man of 23. I've been having a really rough time the last few years, and this subject has been on my mind frequently. I appreciate you taking a stance and trying to explain that, by nature, boys and men are going to act and feel differently than women. Its so frustrating that our society is trying to disregard gender roles when we've evolved over thousands to millions of years to fit and carry out those roles, not just physically but mentally and emotionally as well. In my personal situation i have been one of the more capable individuals among my peers throughout my life, I've always been one of the smartest people in my class, and i've always exceled in physical challenges as well. Competition was never something my family or my school or even my martial arts dojo taught or talked about in the way you just did and it has caused me to not TAKE as much as ive been capable. One of the most frustrating truths i have encounted that you mentioned is that women are not attracted to the features they describe, they only care if they are benefitting from you or are making them feel special somehow. As in you are cute and nice but ONLY to them so they feel exclusive and they know you arent going to be sharing with anyone except them. I think a big problem if mine is that i never learned how to be an asshole properly. Could you talk about this concept in a chat? The fact that as a guy being an asshole is a skill because you have to be enough of an asshole to make everyone want to earn your respect, but not so much that people will avoid including or interacting with you. Thanks so much for your content brother, keep it up and continue to speak your mind.
That would be a great talk. The short note is, DO YOU. Find you and just keep doing it over and over and over again. If it bothers people, but it's you, do it more, do it until it feels comfortable to piss people off, but only if it's who you are. That's what being an asshole means. You can still care for other people, but it's a by-product of being who you are and comes from excess that you have managed to grab hold of and take.

Very , Very good message and a lot of truths. Keep up with the message that you are spreading to all your viewers. Society needs more people to stand up for what is right , wrong, and morally right. Will continue to watch and encourage you to keep doing what you do.
