On 06/08/2024 we visited Bryson City and took the Great Smokey Mountain Train Ride and the young lady waiting on our train car announced as we were passing the lake about your channel and we arrived home and I started watching and can't get enough of your videos......My wife and I are in our 60's and to be young again is surely in our past so we are basically living our youth through your videos and wish you both GOD'S BLESSING in everything you do❗️👍

No way! We didn’t know they talked about our channel on the train ride. They mentioned it by name?! How cool. And hey, 60’s is just over halfway there! God willing you have sooo much life ahead. Might not be years of “youth” but better yet, you’ve got wisdom & perspective now! 🙌😍

Whoop whoop!!! Turning into a cold plunge champ🤩 Always fun to watch you guys🫶🫶 Iko has such a good life too❤ She loves it out here❤

Absolutely love your channel! I might be 60% here for Iko 😂 but as dog lovers y’all get that I know! Authenticity….I think nobody questions that about you guys. I think you are as genuine as they come. Happy 2024! ❤🐾🐾

Yesss would love more cowbell in the new year. Also what a badssa is Sarah for the polar plunge. Keep doing y'all and the viewers will come. Love from Texas💜

As a piggy back off my 1st comment; 1 suggestion for the new year would be to do a video with all the costs broken down to getting a fully functioning floating house, can even put a screenshot on the screen to show the audience as well.

Living in the UK . When you post, it is late in the day, which means you are my Friday night treat to start the weekend.keep up the great work. Happy New Year 🎉

Hi Guy's, Just wanted to say Happy New year and wish you nothing but the best for the future ! I'm a 🇨🇦 sub From southwest BC about 10 min from The Pacific border crossing. Next to a salmon Spawning river. Anyway, I love you channel and approach to you videos . the Scenery you post and your real / honest approach is what makes you special. Things will only get better for you I'm sure. I'm a grandpa that love Family animals and the outdoors I am not lucky enough to live on the water but can walk 100 ft to watch the salmon coming up to spawn and watch the family of Eagles we have here feeding . I appreciate everything you share and the way you do it. Stay safe and Happy. 👌 🇨🇦 Craig

I just love your channel! You two are so at ease and authentic. You two seem like the type of friends that we would have 😊I like how your videos are kinda all over the place, as in not just about 1 thing all the time. If you are looking for dog food, we have 3 labs and just switched to Hi Point Zero. They seem to love it! It has zero corn wheat and soy. It has joint support and probiotics. We just give them a cup and some veggies or pumpkin or eggs to go with it. We live near a lake and my family owns a marina. I enjoy watching videos about your marina and surrounding. You can’t build on this lake either and I like that! Keep doing what you’re doing❤

I love watching you two!! We had property off grid for 40 years. We were above a lake but were not on the lake. We boated, fished, water skied, and boogy boarded. We are in our 70s and time to choose a permanent home. We chose to sell the lake property and mover closer to family and doctors. I miss the absolute quiet during the off seasons. But we are lucky enough to have our second home in the country as peace and quiet too. Keep being authentic and giving us the real scoop. That is why I like watching. I'm reliving our adventures and seeing your new adventures and wishing you the best. Thank you.

It's frustrating to me when I see such great channels like yours not grow like they deserve to!! Meanwhile there's a dude that does nothing but use clickbait in his titles, goes around feeding his animals and brags about all the equipment he has because of sponsorships. He'll get 6K thumbs up in two hours. I don't get it!! I'm grateful you use discernment with your sponsorships as well as your content. I had to quit watching one of my favorite family-type homesteader videos because they kept using TEMU as one of their sponsors - talk about Chinese junk!!

And yes Temu is the worst! We really just can’t stomach doing an ad for some consumeristic crap made in a sweat shop that we know y’all don’t need anyways.
