She has been so inspired by your journey and your ability to have fun in the woods on your own and on your terms! My wife and I outfitted her with good quality gear explored how to use it with her and she is out enjoying the wonders of the world. Thank again for being such a great inspiration.

YT is not my full time job, so I changed plans and *just went camping, you know, for *fun. It was awesome and relatively relaxing. I sat with myself and my thoughts instead of fretting over the next shot. Good for the soul. Prayers up for success and clarity on all your business ventures and plans.

    Thanks for your honesty. If you keep making interesting videos, we’ll keep watching them. Whether they are once a month or whatever, all good! Keep on keeping on!
