yes do a whole video on that, the vitamins, supplements, and foods you eat and why...what benefits you believe they provide. I'm really interested in improving my diet and supplementing or vitamining in the areas where my normal diet is missing the things I should be eating. All your videos are wonderful. You make your life in nature look wonderful but I know it is also "hard/difficult" in some ways...a tradeoff of simplicity and healthy living at low economic cost in exchange for sacrificing some comfort and convenience. Thanks for showing us another way that appears to be very healthy for both the soul and the body.

I've watched this several times, but tonight I saw orbs I had never noticed...a lot of them. So cool

Your videos, music, one second stretch 🤣, Barons entrance, the way you edit your videos are awsome and natural. Thank you for the time spent to make the video.

I love the music and you running over the river and through the woods!! You did an amazing job! One thing I was thinking before you went to bed is I would have chopped all the wood and brought it in, in case I either couldn't go outside or something or someone took it. Hoard the most valuable heat and water!! This is probably one of my favorite videos you have made and I've been watching about a year. Thanks for sharing and being so honest.

Also, never expect a light-duty car to do the work of a heavy duty 4 wheel drive. The CVT transmission in a Subaru will never hold up to this type of use, and will always be susceptible to repeat expensive repairs. Keep your credit card handy. Or trade it in on a diesel 4-wheel drive, like a newer Chevy Colorado or GMC Canyon, or the all-new diesel Jeep Wrangler. Both of them are real four wheel drive with ground clearance, design for pulling trailers, much better than a car, and they don't have CVT transmissions. Did I mention how bad CVT transmissions are? 😉😎

Thanks for all the entertaining and informative stuff! You guys are the best! I am 75, and so is my wife when she tells me to take out the garbage. When we were both young and pretty we lived in some very small dwellings that were portable, and floated. Then, when children started to appear we moved ashore and bought a house. We still live in that same house, except for when I get sent out back to the barn for bad behavior. The children have disappeared; but they sometimes return on a temporary basis, always with partners and more children. ...I think I know what's going on. But I digress. My real purpose in writing is to warn you NEVER cruise around in a Subaru Forester with bad drive shafts/CV joints. If one breaks it can cause your wheel to fall off, potentially damaging your brake system , exhaust, differential, and more. And it can cause loss of control and directional stability. ...enough said. Thanks again kids; and keep up the good works!! We love ya!

I'm surprised coyotes would get close, when you guys pee outside. They never got very near the house in the bush where I lived as a teen. But there were a lot more people in that family than in yours. And we were crazy and yelled at them and stuff. Thanks for sharing this adventure.

Great video!! I totally understand how you were feeling...my goal this summer was to stay at our cabin ALONE, to see if I could do it! I did but went thru all your same emotions...I had a dog, a bat, but also shotgun...I am more afraid of people in the woods then animals ...ever!!! I would rather be mauled than attacked! It's funny just how comforting it is when your alone and you turn on your favorite show and hear their voices!

Elsa you drinking coffee back lit by the sun with the mug in the fore ground is an incredible shot .

Honestly can’t think of a better life for a dog. Camp must be living it up!

This kind of simple life... Haist and a cool environment. Feels like I want to lay down all day and write stories.

Oh, I'm so glad you've got the dog for company

Pro tip. CV joints "GENERALLY" last pretty much forever. The usual cause of death isn't age, use, or wear but a problem with the boot. Check them often since you off-road so much. Usually a split or crack in the boot, or the boot clamp popping off kills it. Once this happens the grease can escape and dirt and shit can get in.
