Thank you for sharing your journey with us and teaching me so many things. It's helped me live a more self-sufficent and self-reliant life and ditch the old 9-5.

[@againstallodds15]

I started out like Eric on filleting by breaking the rib bones and trimming them off, later on I finally grabbed a traditional Alaskan Ulu and taught myself to filet with that, you don't even need to break the rib bones at all, when you do it right the meat just peels off the rib bones and all the fatty belly meat is left, I always do a cold smoke and air dry afterwards all my belly meat, the oil stays better that way

[@msears101]

I like your channel. It is refreshing some of the things that you show. In this world today things get covered up, glossed over, and hidden from view. As some one who identifies as a country boy most people do not know what happens between catching the fish AND putting it in the frying pan. Shouting "grab the stick" and showing what the fish look like when you bring them home is refreshing. In other videos open carrying in the back country is also a refreshing to see. Thank you.

Here in Australia, we only see wild salmon in a tin can, or the Atlantic salmon in Tasmania is farm-bred. We follow you every week with great anticipation, and you never disappoint. Your stories and action are exciting and entertaining, especially fishing and foraging. Your cinematography is outstanding. We are very envious of your lifestyle and adventures, so living vicariously through you has made this old man and his ‘young’ wife appreciate what we have experienced in our long life. Good luck in yours, and give the dogs and cat a cuddle and a treat. For these three, are stars in their own right.

Another, It took me a while to stop chuckling when Arielle was climbing up the path with 40 lbs of fish in a back pack .
