Thanks much Lilly! We really wanted to win too.... Darn weight loss! Oh well it was a great experience nonetheless. Cheers, Brooke

[@myalternatemeswordofthefor4928]

You are very nice survival Lillith, I wanted them to win too.War Girl in the woods.

[@davearonow65]

Thank you for doing these videos. I'm in Florida fantasizing about what y'all do. I'm in the woods every chance I get but it is camping light compared to what y'all do. Oh, by the way, we say "yall" in the south. Anyway thanks for the videos, I really love them. You two are freaking adorable! And Daisy too!

[@stag3t-muspsa910]

I picked you guys to win .you had a bad ass shelter...I was bumbed when you guys called it....so glad I found your channel....I have been filling out casting calls since after first season....

[@rundown48]

Some rock solid insight right there ... Definitely food for thought ... These type of videos are priceless in my opinion .. Cheers you two .

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thanks David!

[@rudyo8409]

I really like your thoughts on a white tarp, Makes a lot of sense.

[@linderevans116]

You guys rock my socks off. Love your shows especially this one. Thanks Brooke and Dave for sharing your experiences with me! Kudos to my favorite Bush wise freedom loving ❤ real decent folks!!! Thank you very much ❤ 😊 ☺ 🙏 😀 🙂 ❤

[@shellyfoster1995]

That was awesome for you to explain everything. I loved it. You guys were born to do this reality segments.

[@susanolson3611]

That season of Alone was the first time we saw you and right away we thought you would win. Really loved the home you built while you waited for your husband. Both of you worked so hard and seemed committed to the long haul. We rooted for you guys the whole time. And were disappointed when someone else won. However finding your channel has made everything right with the universe again. 😀

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thanks much susan!

[@darlenemichuk7655]

Yes, really amazing. Good Fortune to Them . From Canada

[@simplyrik1496]

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thanks SR

[@judyschepp8748]

The two of you make one wonderful couple. Love your videos. You guys are unique🥰❤️😁🤗🐕

[@a.phillips6892]

My new favorite couple and dog! 💕Thank you so much for the wealth of knowledge. I will be camping solo for the first time in my life, I’m trying to learn all I can. Being outdoors is my favorite thing and makes me feel closer to God.

[@Jesusandbible]

She did so well constructing the shelter for him to just move into. It was a top drawer job, and laid the foundation for a comfy stay, so well designed. Call your dog "survival dog" he even eats cranberries!

[@witness2018]

This woman is amazing! God bless you, and your blessed husband too.

[@boblatzer]

My best friend who I used to have fires with almost everyday on his property sadly passed away. I can’t tell you how much I enjoy your video catalog. I feel like I’m sitting with you guys by your fire. So much fun. I even love the occasional smoke in my face.Thanks and bless you both.

[@slomo1716]

YOU both are AMAZING, and fit together like a hand in glove! GOD BLESS YOU BOTH! I vaguely recall a survival show on TV, but will now go and check you out!

[@lindamiller7731]

Love all your videos,they remind me so much of where I grew up in a wooded area and my brother and I spent most of your time playing in those woods. I missed it when l. Moved to the city. Thanks for sharing your adventures and please keep them coming

[@sacreligious74]

I was so rooting for you 2. I almost cried when you tapped. Sending Love from Vancouver Island ❤🇨🇦

[@lorraineirvin3575]

Love you two ! So real and down to earth!

[@tanyajenkins919]

I love u guys together in this one congratulations on the 22 years together keep doing what makes u happy. My dog loves blue berries she will stand on her head for them can just imagine how excited she would become over the huckle berries. 👍 Thanis for sharing

[@rayclair2642]

22 years of being together..and doing what you both like too do most of the time...is Awesome !!!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

we're very blessed!

[@leshiagambrel2170]

Wow, and together many years as well! And both of you love the woods. I really liked the house girl in the woods had fixed and ready when for her man come back. It was so nice, fireplace was great, and girl in the woods done had beds and all ready. I was amazed at the work put into that. Not just the home, but surviving as well as you all did. That's still a long time to make it out there.

[@marilynb8136]

Love you guys!!! The information and wilderness survival experiences are so helpful. Thank you so much!!! Blessings

[@wcoastlaurie-7-2]

We just watched S4 again, you guys rocked it! I grew up on that island so I can relate to the challenges you faced overall. Well done to you both, bravo!

[@herminigildojakosalem8664]

You are a lovely couple to watch. And it is great to learn that you've been together for more than twenty years now. Keep it up. Stay together always healthy and happy!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thank you!

[@mikefogle5874]

My wife and I were always rooting for you. You two were amazing!

[@cherylbfrey5936]

Love you two…you are a Beautiful couple….so great that you both have the same “love of the wilderness”…thanks for sharing your vital info.

[@shadomane]

Thanks for the video. I totally agree with your choices and the mind set you have. the design of your cabin was great and your choice of tarps taught me something new. You guys were awesome out there, I rooted for you to the last day and really wanted to see you two win. I love your team work.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thanks so much!

[@tonkinbray]

I completely agree with you guys about using a white tarp. I learned how to camp when I volunteered to be a cub scout leader ( UK scouting). As I had very minimal experience prior to volunteering, me and the other volunteers had to learn how to survive in the wilderness. So we attended the 'nights away' training. It was based at a camp site. The first we stayed in cabins, whilst we learned how to assemble army tents, start a fire using a flint, striker and birch bark. The rest of the time we were sent a couple miles away from the cabin and had to get on with it. We were given food provisions, as hunting in the UK isnt really allowed on the most part, but the rest was up to us. It rained the WHOLE time! The Uk's army tents are very low to ground and are made with a thick green canvas. Whilst we where able to keep relatively dry, it was soo dark, and what light did pass through was green toned. So yeah definitely agree that a white tarp is best. Especially on rainy days when your essentially confined to either the mess tent or the sleeping, only briefly going outside to toilet or to gather water or food prep. You were both amazing to have survived 49 days in the absolute wilderness 👏👏👏🙌🙌💜❤️

[@nancylong886]

I could not of done what you two did even if I was younger. Love watching Alone

[@donnavictorian8810]

I love this! You two should collaborate on other videos. I look forward to seeing some more and 22 years of being together! Amazing!!! That is the true testament of your character so good to see couples who have learned to compromise and work together.

[@judyschepp8748]

So true!!!👍👍

[@RobinMLee]

Excellent video! Great topic and I LOVED your explanations on WHY. Congratulations on 20 years! :D

[@TheMrJoeMac]

You tw are really great. Love watching your videos. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thanks Joe!

[@connieeastburn-lohmann2687]

My husband and I both did wood working,we insulated and sheetrocked our garage and painted it a slight off while, it was great to spend hours working in, especially in the winter months.

[@williamchee2935]

Thanks for the commentary on the items... the good and the bad. You were one of my favorites on all seasons of Alone.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thanks william!

[@mikecole1624]

You two totally rock! Enjoy both your videos.

[@SCSlimBoiseID]

Very informative, you two. I enjoyed hearing your rationale and evaluations re: the items you took. Nicely done. Stay safe out there. Cheers.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thank you!

[@theresafeeney2756]

Gonna have to try and watch your episodes. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on your adventure.

[@richardphares6413]

You guys are really fun to watch. Great good and take and sharing of camera time. I smiled a lot during the whole presentation. Thanks, I look forward to more from the two of you.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@zoanyway]

What a terrific video. So nice to see you guys again, our whole family was rooting for you guys. And thanks for all the great information, too!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thanks much!

[@joeyjones9041]

I have a set of coveralls that have that tree bark design on them. They're from the early 90's and I've never seen that camo design anywhere else. My coveralls are amazing tho.

[@boernooi40]

Love you guys. My kids and I watch you all the time.

[@JDsurvival71]

I really enjoyed the video ! But the ending was the best I laughed myself crazy! 😝

[@doyleholmes2490]

I told this to Dave too. I'm amazed with anyone who can go on ALONE. You have amazing skills and fortitude. I hold you in high regard because I can't do that sort of thing due to health issues. However, my wife and I found an acreage in a treed, dying town, we bought 2 lots for 300 dollars and transformed an old garage into our 12x24 cabin.

[@cksoutdoorsathilltopacresf1569]

I must admit that I didn't have the opportunity to watch season 4 until yesterday... so I binge watched the whole season in 2 days!! I never cried during any of the shows in any of the seasons of Alone, until the scene where Dave finally got to you! What an emotional moment! You built an amazing shelter! Why not do a video where you replicate it? The cabin was totally awesome, too! I imagine it created a great sense of security. What an adventure!! ~Kitty

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Thanks Kitty- I still tear up when I see that clip!

[@marleneburrows6725]

You two are so much fun watching!!! I would have starved.

[@jantefft2442]

I used to spend 10 days in a deer camp in oct, nov, dec; no running water except for a stream that I broke the ice off of to get water to wash up and cook with. I know where you are coming from. To finally get to take a real shower was so wonderful.

[@sunlin894]

You two are awesome - this is so much better than watching the entire show spending time watching I uninteresting / much less knowledgeable contestants - great guys Thank you - you should have won something

[@sharonmariejohnson2578]

Hi Brooke, I have only just recently come across your channel and I have found myself binge watching your videos as I find them to be so interesting and informative and fun and you have a great vibrant personality too and because of this I had to subscribe. I have always enjoyed nature and the great outdoors despite not having much natural surroundings where I live but your channel makes me feel like I am part of your little adventures and helps lighten my day. I am so glad that I found you and now I look forward to your future uploads very much, Thanks for sharing :)

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Thanks much Sharon glad you are enjoying my vids! Welcome

[@deborahlewis5964]

What an a adventure.....You two are quite a great team...I really enjoyed hearing your 10 choices....Awesome.....

[@Myn6211]

I found the reasoning behind your choice of a white coloured tarp very interesting. It is not something I have ever thought much about but it makes absolute sense and is something I will definitely include on my mini excursions. Thanks for a great video.

[@asdfg1234a14]

Recently just discovered the Alone series thanks to Covid! Watched season 4 first for some reason and you two were great! I thought the hobbit hole was great but your cabin was completely amazing! I'm hoping for a video explaining it's construction!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@6426Dave]

Thanks for sharing your experience and insight. BTW a great looking couple!

[@annduncan4081]

I love seeing you two together! great video, I'm still smiling

[@leojoseph6385]

Had to watch this really helpful video again! After much thought I would bring the biggest Fish Net allowed instead of the rusty pan. The passive way, 24/7, of working to provide fatty protein, is tough to beat. One of the 2 knives should be a large Multi-tool that has a good metal file sharpener. These are just ideas from a novice, but I hope they add value to the quest.

[@jeremyb.1977]

Brooke and Dave - You are an awesome couple. My wife and I have been together almost 23 years. I wish I could get her to go on an adventure in the wood with me. Thank you for sharing the items you took into the wilderness. I think you chose wisely. I couldn't agree more on spending your money, on the things that more important, like the tarps and sleeping bags. - Jeremy

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thanks much Jeremy!

[@susanhollis5015]

I enjoy watching you two work together!

[@gedmcgaffin1255]

This is a gift of a channel. Thanks.

Refreshing to see a non bs appreciation of kit with no advertising. Appreciate your honesty and not complying with the commercial "survivalists" Thanks for sharing your experiences. All the best from Scotland. Garry

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thank you scotland

[@alexanderweaver4838]

Congratulations on your accomplishments: 49 days of Alone and 22 years together as a couple. You're a wonderful couple and I can see why you have been together that long. May you have 22 more. Your decisions on selected gear was awesome bar the frying pan of course. The white tarps decision blew me away! I would have never thought of it and would have taken my usual camo tarp; however, your reasons were absolutely brilliant! Now, I'll be shopping for a white tarp on ebay. I did use a clear painter's drop cloth on a primitive shelter once and that did brighten it up, come to think of it. Great video guys!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Thanks Alexander!

[@jacobusvandilbeck6393]

Thanks for that informative reflection , I gained alot of insight . I recently built a cabin backed by a forest between your vlog, and daves channel I really got alot of info. Keep up the good info.

[@RickKepple]

When I was a kid, I had to live in the woods an entire year after mom and dad died, and the next year I joined the Army. I survived in the forest from spring through winter. How to start a fire without matches or a lighter after a drenching rain. These days, if I disappeared into the forest, they'd put out an alert for a lost senior citizen.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

sounds tough!

[@RickKepple]

You're the one that's tough, @@therealgirlinthewoods to have gone on those survival trips. That's way cool!

[@ritamariekelley4077]

I would love to read your story, Rick. Really inspirational. Best to you!

[@shelbyh40]

you guys are adorable. love the info and the fun you had in this one.

[@lizchatfield692]

Soap a must have and wash face and hands everyday .Great video we love alone.

[@suezaple4950]

great video folks , I was impressed with your shelter on alone , you guy's did an awesome job loved the items in which you both chose as well , I must agree with the white tarp usage, it does give one a pic you up feeling

[@kenstrampe7609]

great video loved it, thanks Brook and Dave. it was very informative. congrats on 22 years together. loved the bloopers at the end but missed your normal come back closing, i was expecting it at the very end, it always makes me happy to hear it. thanks again.

[@chrisstegink4402]

Great video. Good information and loved the funny out takes. Thanks both.

[@josephscardino4815]

Dave, on that trip I took to Kodiak for the winter I had (and STILL have) a coffee pot that looks very similar to yours. I brought it back from Kodiak, dented and painted black just like yours, and have used it on every camping trip I've taken since, even if I just use it to boil water. Yours made me grin like a fiend, and I went and dug mine out to watch the rest of the video with. Great memories, once again, guys! Thank you so very much!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Joseph that is awesome! LOL

[@paulawhite2546]

You guys are adorable!

[@matchelite220]

You guys are awesome! Thank you for sharing.

[@allDGoodNamesRtaken]

I love how the items you bought for this adventure later became your household items. I've seen the axe, frying pan, and coffee pot in so many of your later videos.

[@livmilesparanormalromanceb6891]

You guys were so awesome! My favorite part of your journey was when you reunited. You guys make a great team!

[@cillaloves2fish688]

U guys are awesome! Loved this video... saw Dave's first, nice to see another version! U can tell Maysie loves u both... she was giving kisses almost the whole time!

I am SO glad you made this video! My kids have been asking what you guys took with you! Thank you for answering their unasked question! The boys say HI Brooke and Dave!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Hi guys!

[@coliny2329]

I have not seen your time in the outback. Watching in sequence at this time. Can’t wait to see you both again. This is brilliant. Squared away. Respect and Honor. Salute

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thank you colin!

[@elsienorback7689]

I like the saw that you guys have selected. I might buy that saw for living in Fairbanks this spring/summer/fall. I live in a dry cabin off Goldstream and that saw would be perfect for cutting dry wood for the wood stove when it gets cold from the rain. I love the wood stove, it takes the moisture out really fast.

[@joycegrahamGoodLifeWellness]

Great to hear how you did it even if you did not win. You are so amazingto try this. Love watching your vodeos!

[@crearley]

Great info for the real needs of being outdoors with only the bare essentials. Thanks for sharing the knowledge with us.

[@kenn1936]

AWESOME ADVICE - thank you x.

[@wordwalker3]

Great video! It isn't the new and shiny that wins the day, but the tried and true, how appropriate. I was in Boy Scouts as a youngster and was a leader in Royal Rangers at my previous church. I got a Wiggy's sleeping bag...best bag I've ever owned! I just might have to take another look at some old axes kicking around in the basement. Oh, give Mazy a hug and a treat for me...she did a great job trying to steel the show!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Thanks Boyd!

[@spaceaddict5484]

You guys are so awesome! Im thinking of going out in the woods alone for a couple weeks and kinda want the challenge of only bringing 10 items. Its good to hear your break down of the items so I can learn from your experience!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Have fun!

[@jeanninespinner2244]

Your both cool!!! This is Sunshine! from the 60's, Peace out!!! Take time to love nature & beeeee, Happy!!!🌞

[@joshuatall8134]

Your dog is the actual star!!! Great video!

[@cruiser122s.d.8]

I would have brought soap too. I also agree with most of your gear, especially having a large and small knife. If I was on Season 4 my 10 items would be soap, a multitool, a slingshot, a full tang metal axe, a folding saw w/ a sharpened spine to use as a draw knife, Titan Survivor Cord paracord, 2 Qt pot, waterbottle, gorp, and fishing line & hooks. I can tell you both are amazing people by how you treat your dog Daisy. Congrats on being together for 22+ years.

[@tammiyoung3754]

I really love your collie she is very smart.

[@gregholl5011]

Collie and smart is kinda redundant! :)

[@grant7431]

I stopped watching regular tv as soon as i saw the notification. Thanks for a very interesting video!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

awesome thanks!

[@luiscastellanopadillaiv.sr6362]

Awesome gear review? 22,yes together is a Plato,should be blessed, unfortunately I lost my wife,of 17 yrs,and it was just that time to be with our father,so be blessed,love you guys👊

[@peggymccoon]

I learned a lot when i was young my father did a good job the soap is very true.

[@connieeastburn-lohmann2687]

Gorp is always been one of my favorite things to take backpacking or on a little canoe trip or a hike and just to take a big bag camping to have a special snack. I've done a lot of camping with kids over the years and they love it. I have found that I like to throw a few Honey nut Cheerios. And I like some pecans in it too. I guess my favorite mix would be Honey Nut Cheerios, dark chocolate chips, pecans or cashews, raisins and dried cranberries or dried cherries. The only thing with putting Cheerios in it is you have to be careful about smashing them up in your pack. So if it's going to be a long trip sometimes I opted for granola in place of the Cheerios, but for a day or just a one nighter the Cheerios work..

[@stephaniebarrett8057]

Love watching you guys!!! I am a total country girl...this is crazy interesting to me!!

[@joyherting3705]

I loved the explanation of each item. People that have not spent large amount of times in the outdoors don't always understand some of the choices. Like in California one of the places I loved fishing was a two-hour bike ride away and then a hike, unless they were one of my outdoorsy friends they didn't get why I rode so far away. One of my favorite things about that place on the way out they had a fish cleaning station, so I could clean them up line my cooler with the garbage bag put the fish in and stopped for ice for the ride back. It was one of my favorite things to do and I would take it Sketchbook and just draw landscapes or animals I saw. I'm that girl that be happy if you dropped her in the middle of the woods with a fishing pole and a knife, me and a couple friends used to take other people out camping. Some of my specialties was catching the fish like always a fish Whisperer oh, I don't know I started going fishing when I was so little with my brother. I'm sure remembers the time I grabbed his Tackle Box to hand it to him and it wasn't latched in everything fell into the water. I think that same trip I got stung by a bee on my finger. My brother and I would always go fishing it was just so awesome and relaxing and we would ride our bikes to get everywhere I had a boy's bike just so I could strap stuff to the top bar and I had a rack on the back. We would bring our quote on quote boat, my brother made it it was an inflatable he made a plywood bottom for an attached a mount for a chair and a motor. Everything broke down and could fit in the back of his buddies car, we've get everything ready the night before and leave at like 2 a.m. to get to our fishing spot and then just spend the entire day. I used to go biking through the woods all the time either by myself or with friends, I've seen tons of snakes I have had to deal with mountain lions. One time I was with a group of my friends and I was way ahead of everybody else because I tended to be the most experienced person in the group and checkout ahead oh, cuz sometimes areas could be washed out or blocked by trees that had fallen. So I am just zipping along and it's actually a very flat straight part oh, I see this blur of motion to the side of me and so I react by jumping up onto the seat while still holding on to The Handlebar and essentially coasting. I went a couple feet , got off and went back without looking down when I got off the bike. I didn't see anything so I went back to my bike and this is about when all my friends are showing up behind me, they're asking what's up as I'm picking up my bike and we all see it at the same time. A rattlesnake went to go strike me but went into the spokes of my tire, he got all shredded up... You could definitely say my adrenaline was going. I miss getting to go camping and Hiking I have too many medical issues now, but if I had somebody to go with me that knew what they were also doing I would try because it feels like I'm missing a part of my soul not being able to go out

[@msbettyduke]

First time seeing you guys...Great Video and very infomative...Thanks for posting....

[@mharrison35]

I didnt even know you both had gone through this show, so i just check out all of the shows. Wow you both are so strong, and just so amazing. I have been checking out your chln now for a few months or so. ty for your time all i can say is just WoW!!!!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]
