Sometimes you gotta turn the camera off 

I really enjoy watching you and Dave together! You're like 2 peas in a pod, what a gift from God to have such a soulmate!

Oh Happy day! God is so good!

Brooke and Dave, have I told you lately how much I love you guys? Thank you for all that you do and share like this because I've learned a lot from watching your channels. Blessings to both of you!

So thankful the two of you got some alone time! Even though very hard work was involved, You set such a good example for all of us! Love that God gave the both of you the vision to buy the land, and preserve His Creation! Always encouraged after watching your Vlogs. Blessings! 🙏🤗🙏❤️

I am LOVING the happiness this new property brings you! Great job you two have done so far! Can't believe you already have a well. Did you know that your dear husband assembled that well pump on the hood of his car!!!???? I gave him grief about it too! Lol! I was freaking out over here going....WHAT ARE U DOING!!???😲😲😲😲 Can't wait to explore across the river with you!!! Glad you guys took some downtime. Esty

I’m a 51 year old Indiana woman and I love love camping. Watching both of your channels makes me want to get back out camping. One day I will. Currently taking care of my mom. Don’t have many years left. Girl your energy is so fun to watch. I’m glad I found your channel. I’m living through you right now. God bless you both and have a better day today than you had yesterday!

21st century pioneers with recording devices so next gen kids can see how it was done. Thank you, God Bless.

I love that you guys discovered the U.P of Michigan, one of my favorite places on earth to chill out. I think you guys are near the bridge area also, even better

So beautiful and peaceful. Absolutely idyllic. I totally understand why you left the camera off most of the week. It’s just an opportunity to be completely immersed in solitude. Love your videos!

Though we missed ya, glad you got to put the camera down and truly enjoy your surroundings. And, you're right...that tripod was genius!

Yes you folks are awesome, a lots of people are turning to camping out and your videos are very important and inspiring to lead in the right direction 😀awesome 👌thanks for your support.

Watching you two work together reminds me of my wife and I working together. Nothing brings me more joy than creating something amazing with her. I love your inspirational videos!

Yes…..Don’t give all of yourself away! Proud of you two! (PS….I love the Northwoods!)

You and Dave just turn that camera off, enjoy the fruits of your labor and just be in the moment.

I truly enjoyed this video. Just sitting here smiling that you DIDN'T film for five days. Smiling when you tapped into that life giving water, and for that water to be good and sweet....oh yeah....The pleasures of being out in the woods - simple shelter, water, good food, and if you're lucky, someone to share that with. “There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep Sea, and music in its roar: I love not Man the less, but Nature more, From these our interviews, in which I steal From all I may be, or have been before, To mingle with the Universe, and feel What I can ne’er express, yet cannot all conceal.” Lord Byron God bless.

I'm SOO GLAD you guys took time for each other ! About time you kicked back and enjoyed ALL that HARD WORK !!! ❤ 😀 ❤

Breakfast in the woods, on the Coleman stove, yum!

That luck finding good water that easily is simply GOOD KARMA!! You two work hard, live cleanly, and always seem to be prepared! This is your karma reward!!!

I have to stop watching your vlogs. Such delicious food. I have to get up and eat something after watching you cook. You two are living the dream of the millions of us living our lives of desperation. We sit here and think one more day like that at work and I am going to pack up and go live in the woods.

My uncle had a wild property in northern Michigan that I loved to explore as a child. We cleared trails with a machete and found a beautiful stream and waterfall. I'm so happy it's still unspoiled up there. Thanks for the memories.

You and your Honey did some GREAT WORK!!!! Miss seeing your pretty Maysie!!!!

Glad to see u too have some alone time Dave and Brooke, u have created your own piece of serenity. Thanks or sharing the knowledge of the oil an pipe cleaning before installing a well,u both enjoy.

Taking a break, and resting is good stuff. I keep finding out how hard it is to work a manual labor job 5 days a week at age 63. Thank you Lord for this arm rest. Breathing - always in the moment. Bless

Hit a big milestone today at the cabin. I took a hot shower! Man, after 8 days building that barn, that shower was NICE

I love the easy quiet with a long-time mate. After 35 years, the hubby and I just love that comfortable closeness. God bless you both and enjoy!

Good for you for taking a break I totally understand. This property looks awesome just like your breakfast Brooke.Enjoy guys.🙂🇨🇦❤⛺

Yess! Awesome work! Your property looks beautiful! 🌄🌲 And you're totally right, sometimes you just need to be in the moment. Be in nature and with those who love you. ⭐

You're both blessed with each other and all your combined survival skill sets. I appreciate your love of Christ. Enjoy you both and appreciate your videos.

I can't say it enough you guys, your amazing people. Thanks for just being you

Nice breakfast...makes me want to go camping! You and Dave are my heroes! Living the life! Love his videos too! The ulu was really awesome!

Hello. Have a safe blessed night! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Throw a couple trail cams up, take a peek at what's coming in and out of your space. It would be amazing

Hi from Tennessee. Everyone needs a break sometime. Your camp looks really relaxing. Glad you two enjoy yourselves. Have a great week and be safe.

When I see all your wonderful posts.... working your ... off, this was a nice change! ENJOY

RELAXATION !!!

Congratulations on the water & being able to take a shower! Love your outdoor rocking chairs! You two are definitely in your element!🌲🤗

Thanks for the 360 degree view, it's good to see the full sense of your surroundings. Not many youtubers give you that perspectives. Now, watching you 2 sitting and talking, I feel like I'm there! Aloha

I thoroughly enjoyed hanging out with you two tonight. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.

Enjoy both channels but it is really nice when you team up and do a video together. It will be great to see more of your progress at the new property. Congrats on getting water!

Love watching you guys.....I wrote you earlier how you inspired me to buy a wall tent from the wall tent shop that I picked up here in Idaho. My niece and I went in on 20 acres next to the lake and set up the wall tent. We ordered the fly 8' longer than the tent as a porch. Anyway, I had the most amazing experience when I was up there one day. It was sunny about 70 degrees, I was sitting at the picnic table basking in the beauty of the moment and to my left I heard some rustling in the bushes. I look over and out pops a cougar within 10' of me bounding in my direction. It then saw me and took off sideways back into the trees and brush again. I do pack a pistol, but thankfully I didn't need it. I said a prayer to the cougar letting it know I come in peace and that I'm not food. lol Thanks again for all your sharings. Many blessings to you both.

We're blessed to have you share your life, wisdom, skills and adventures with us, but no one is entitled to more than then you chose to share. It's important to have a good balance of what you do for the channels or work and the sheer peaceful joy of living your life away from strangers.

It sure does look peaceful out your way! It’s not just because of the well either.. 😆

Very nice! Enjoy every moment! 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏

This video was great. I think it's amazing you both are taking time for yourselves and getting some much deserved R&R. You've got a lot accomplished but still are taking time to enjoy being together and time to just rest and marvel at the beauty God created. God Bless you both. From Central New York.

We installed a well the same way you are here in the video and we did it first,and did it in the spot we was putting in the tiny cabin we built,so had the pump was inside of the cabin..It was super nice to be able to have the water on the inside of the cabin..I thought that was just a idea I would through out there,it helped when cold weather came and we had the cabin all cozy warm we never had a frozen pump head..I just love your channel,love the positive attitude,as well in reality the camera has to go sometimes as not all things are going to be as positive as we prefer..Thanks for sharing the reality of life, as well sharing how well God changes our minds when negative things comes our way,I beleive he loves to see us depend on him in and through the negativity of life's challenges..So with that said going outside so I can get Happy,this boy is out of here..

We’re enjoying the peace with you. It’s a blessing ❣️

Get outside and get happy! Get some quality time 🤫

Hitting water is like striking gold. 😃

so nice to sit still for a while, and enjoy nature, and each other. 👍💚👍

Good ... For ... You! Yes!! Finding peace and quiet seems like a challenge with (between you both) more than half-a-million sets of eyes looking on :) Appreciate you both ... glad you're taking time to appreciate your accomplishments. Enjoy, God Bless, and see you down the road :)

Water..a shower..what more can you ask..maybe a fish..I am so happy life is so good for you ;-)

The birds are like... "Ah he'll, look who just moved in. Well, there goes the neighborhood." 😝

Thank you both for sharing time with us. The trees around the camp are absolutely gorgeous. Your well water looks crystal clear wonderful.

Glad to hear you took a break! You are definitely living the good life.

I liked the video Effect of showing the equipment with nobody talking except the wildlife. Best Wishes from Montana M.H

You two work your butts off. You are an inspiration! Digging that well looked like a big job!I'm glad to hear that you are taking a break from taping to just focus on each other and enjoy the time there. God bless you all!

I love you both!! I do miss the bushradical videos of building cabins!! where is the pup!!! I love her!!

Thanks for takin us a long. Happy for you guys. Lord bless.

I've been camping since I was a little girl and thrive on this type of life. We dug a well last year and now have a full water set up! I have been afraid to take the full time plunge though. I respect you all so much!

Wow, Michigan is another world. Here in CA, I do not believe you could hit water that quickly, and out in the countryside around here if you dropped your shirt on the ground you'd pick it up and likely find ticks on it. Contemplating Michigan all of a sudden LOL. It was my Dad's home state! Love to see you guys happy on your new land!

Loved this video. Good to see you both enjoying yourselves. Take care

♥️Enjoy the fruits of your hard work and the blessings of nature. May God continue to shine his face upon you!✝️

Love your little area there. Looking forward to seeing the rest of it all as you go. God continue to bless you and keep you safe!

Some of the biggest problems can be solved with a tall tripod. Congrats on the well.

How does that well just work? That’s nuts! That’s crazy! I’m so happy for you guys!

I love what you say, Brooke: "Good to take a lower gear..." Yeah! It is good to take a lower gear in life. This looks amazing. Y'all deserve this so much!

i want want to thank both of you for sharing the things you do with us i love watching your videos

I guess I did things backwards. I’ve been watching bush radical and girl in the woods…and then I watched alone. I kept waiting for you to offer me the first bite and pray before you eat! I guess there was no food to take a first bite of and nothing to pray over! It was awesome to see you guys in the woods alone. You are both amazing!

Next time you put a well in, is to rent a big Hilte hammer from your local rental place or concrete supplier and stand on your truck tail gate and jet it in. The big one you see contractors removing concreat floors with., you will be-amazed. Love watching.

So glad to see you and your husband taking some couple time, we all need that. My husband and I hit thirty yrs in September and I very much enjoy watching another couple who seem to be good together. God Bless you both

When you deal with Drinking Water, always use Teflon tape and not pipe dope. I got this from an old plumber. Nice set up Dave for driving the pipe. Time to take a Nap Dave.......🤣🤣

Im glad you are good

Beautiful property. Love the well

Before I made a water pump out of a repurposed generator motor I would carry my water in a 5 gallon jug strapped to my old wooden Boy Scout backpack frame. It wasn't ideal but 5 gallons of water is a lot compared to none at all. Your story of finding trails through the brush made me think of a time I was in thick brush and found a trail. It was sort of a tunnel through the brush that I had to bend over to get through. Then I realized... I was following a bear trail!!

Thanks for taking us❤️❤️

Love watching you guys

Such good times, a lot to be thankful for, enjoy, you deserve it

I can't stop thinking about you video where you said 'Shut up and get moving'. That resonated. Watching you work - a work of love - has me thinking even at 67 years old I could do what you're doing so guess what? I'm going to do what you're doing!

You guys are great. That is all.

Your right, time to relax 😎 & enjoy 😉. You guys are awesome. !

That tripod was simply genius

Enjoying nature and the fruits of your labor.

We all need that down time!! Enjoy and God bless!!

💜💜💜💜💜 Mel was here 💜💜💜💜💜

I like that cafe too much.

Definitely love the fact that you two turn the cameras off and just enjoy each other! My hubbie and I just celebrated 45 years. Camp looks great maybe make a shower base with drainage to stand on . Happy Happy

This is a great idea. My daughter and her husband hand drilled their well the typical way. But they only had to go 12 feet to reach water. This is amazing way to drill. Congrats and thanks for sharing this because I will try it on our property.

Good for you both!

So glad to see you guys at peace on your new property, but you forgot your doggy, she needs some to! Enjoy god bless.

The new property is looking great.

It's so great to see you guys just enjoying your property.

Love this life! I'm so glad you and Dave video your experiences. My first husband and I had this life raising our 4 kids. He has been gone over 6 years but your videos help me relive these experiences. LOL no cell phones or affordable video cameras in the 1970's. We lived 10 years in the U.P., western side. There were too many rock ledges over there for home driven wells. We did all our well driving in Mecosta county. We did tail gate cooking before it was popular. He built me a two burner propane stove. We spent many nights at our 16 acre property with me cooking goulash, chili or stew for supper before going back to our house for the night.

had a shitty day today you guys always cheer a guy up

Bears, bob cats, . I didnt think about those when I was enjoying your life

So happy for you guys! ❤️✝️🇺🇸👍

SO Glad you guys are taking some couples' time!!!!

Livin’ the DREAM!!!🙌🏼💪🏼❤️

Your videos are so relaxing, Brooke. Thanks for sharing with us:)

Thank you, pulley, thank you Archimedes.

What an absolutely awesome spot! Glad you guys are enjoying it!
