49 days... Why We Tapped. Alone Season 4

[@plasticapple704]

You may not have been the "official" winners, but you are both NUMBER ONE to us. You guys did an awesome job!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

sweet thanks

[@JayWandersOut]

Yep, the beginning of that last episode was reason enough to show that you two are winners.

[@HonesE57]

Dang! I think their attitude, wisdom and teamwork as a husband and wife was and is "WINNER"! Love out to ya Dave and Brooke! Money can never buy happiness that lasts! and it certainly never can relace the peace that passes all understanding!

[@cailin5309]

You two were the real winners.. not only did you make the best shelter, but you survived as a couple & kept good attitudes. I feel like many other couples put in that same scenario would have been each other’s demise. You guys strengthened each other.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

You may have tapped before you wanted to but remember this, you did last 49 days which is incredible. The part to be proud of is you and David built THE BEST shelter ever seen on Alone! Y'all have my respect.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Hey thanks much Dave really appreciate that coming from you! And I'm still getting a ton of comments on my parody video of you and people can't say enough kind things about you. Respect back :)

[@alanj7306]

Definitely the best shelter ever seen on the show. The word shelter is almost an insult. It was a survival cabin.

[@conniemorris9659]

You always do a super job in whatever you do. Enjoy your videos so very much. Thank you!! ❤

[@BuckMckawtheotherone]

Hi Brooke, five years later, I finally got to see Alone season 4 (I do not own a TV). I've watched the episodes up until the one just before you tapped out. I must say, your attitudes (yours and Dave's) were impressive, and the way you simply were in the moment, without complaints. Some of the other contestants seemed less prepared and some were even surprised at the environment they were in and complained incessantly till they tapped out. It may seem too bad your health dwindled, but, God knew it was all you needed for the experience. I've subscribed to your channel from the start, and I have not been disappointed. Being open about your faith in Jesus is a bonus to me too, because He is all in all, isn't he? Keep doing what you do, sweatheart, and Dave's channel is pretty darned good too. He is inspirational and ingenious. You two make a wonderful pair.

[@patriciac5214]

I wasn’t watching KZbin pre pandemic. Now, I follow both you and Bush Radical religiously. Thank you.

[@MajorSlackAttack]

Hey Brooke, I just binge-watched season 4 over the weekend and just wanted to say your 'Starvation Vacation' commercial was hilarious! Also, the Whipple cabin totally rocked. I have some issues with the cheap trick editing the producers did in some of the episode intros to make it look like you and Dave were bickering when in fact when you watch the full segment those clips were taken from, you guys weren't bickering at all. (*cough* bullsh!t *cough*) And I know Team Baird won fair and square, rules are rules but I was so glad to see you and Dave not take it to the very unhealthy extremes that the Bairds and Brockdorffs did (the severe stomache pains, etc). I have more respect for you guys pulling the plug when you did. It's like you respected the spirit of the challenge, IMHO. You guys are awesome! :)

[@margaretarce31]

I too just found this season and enjoyed you two very much. You did deserve the win, always upbeat and entertaining. I do not understand the show being new to it. Why do they put people where there are no resources for food. Of course two big strapping guys were able to last longer.

[@stephaniebarrett8057]

LOVE YOU!!! Frig what anyone else says!! I've seen you in the woods...you are amazing Brooke!

[@mackenziesmith7047]

You two were my favorite team, I screamed at my screen when they showed you tapping. "Noooooooooooooo, not Brooke and Dave!! Anyone else...ANYONE ELSE not Brooke and Dave!!" But seriously though, from what I've read and seen about the Alone show, they should really just call it the Starvation Challenge. The fact that you cannot hunt or kill big game and that even small game requires a license or is prohibited, is ridiculous. Obviously, they don't want a long production period and it's not actually about true wilderness survival. If Alone did a fan favorite, you would win 100%. Keep up the positive attitude and making our world a better place for our children. Much love and respect.

[@kathyjohnston4337]

Hey Neighbor!!! You and your husband are Super AWESOME!!! I enjoy both of your channels!!! You Totally ROCK!!!

[@carldeshazer7946]

Hello Brooke and Dave. From the start my wife and I of 48 years predicted you two would win. Mainly because you had this man and wife companionship which in our opinion was very important. You were surviving so well and for so long. Having said this, my wife and I congratulate you for doing your best. Both of you seem to be happy and get along so well, it's obvious you guys are in love. Your shelter was just plain awesome, you did a great job on it. The next cabin type shelter you two built was even better. I'm Carl and wife is Debbie, we hope to see the both of you on maybe some type of all star show. We will be cheering you both on. Good luck in life and may god bless you Brooke and Dave, thanks for a great and entertaining show, Carl and Debbie.

[@regularguyoutside100]

Your health is always more important than money. As a husband I wholeheartedly agree with Dave's viewpoint as televised. You guys left it all out there, and there is NO way I'm going to see my wife suffer more than is necessary. I get it, believe me, I do. I'm glad you two pulled through okay, and CONGRATULATIONS to you for making the cut as well as giving your all in the competition. Even if you didn't get the number one spot, you won TONS of respect.

[@thecrew777]

Hey, there were men and women who tapped out under 2 weeks. 49 days is incredible. Bravo!

[@sandyhartman2310]

Enjoyed hearing your stories! You both are the bravest people! Thankful for Gods protection, and you both used His wisdom to leave!

[@Artoconnell]

The same love that carried you there..made you leave, no way he would risk losing you. you Guys are the BEST!!

[@commodoor646]

You and Dave came up on my feed. I didn't know who you two were. I don't watch the History channel. But when I found out that you two were married, it made perfect sense to me. You are both very nice people; upbeat and good natured. You are definitely soulmates. I'm from the east coast and love the outdoors but not at your level, and not especially sensitive, but you two give me warm fuzzies. It's good to know that you two found each other. I subscribed both you and Dave. Cheers!

[@debsmith7050]

Just wish the fish & food sources had been there....You and Dave were the best !!! I am so proud of both of you - fantastic skills and such support for one another; you guys & your kids are fortunate to have each other. No regrets !!!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thanks Deb Yep!

[@pacificbushcraftandfirecra6358]

49 days...Whipple's Rock! Proud of you girl!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thanks Brandon!

[@doughelmke6282]

how ironic. my computer was silent all day. it woke up with your words of wisdom.

[@lisabochat9169]

It’s easy for the Monday morning quarterback to say what you should have done let’s see them give it a go!! You guys are awesome your my hero’s!!

[@abc-wv4in]

I don't watch tv much and have never watched any of the program Alone or any of the similar ones. I want to find it and watch it now. Congrats on your accomplishments! God bless...

[@greenofhearts]

Did you hear my wail "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" from Florida when you tapped? If you had more food you would have won because you had everything else going for you two!!! Loved the initials carved into the fireplace mantel! Your cabin was the BEST EVER on this show!!

[@patrickgermond2750]

I grew up in the Northwest and it is an incredibly thick rain forest. The small animals there are never really seen. They leave no tracks and make no noise. A person needs to live and hunt in that area before they can become familiar with any of that. It takes years. Don't feel bad about not trapping any animals. It's hard as heck. There is just so much plant life a person can't even really get a read on them. I thought you guys did great on gathering food. I learned a lot from you guys and your fishing. And you and Dave gave that knowledge to the world. So thank you again. You guys were some of the best contestants to ever go on the show. People who criticize have no idea how hard it is. Nor do they appreciate the amount of work you really did. Just because there may have been one or two other things people say you could have done doesn't take into account the hundreds of things you did and did amazing at. And another thing critics are realizing is that was the worst weather I've seen in a long time. And again, I grew up there.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Thanks Patrick you seem to be pretty wise. Appreciate the support!

[@springthyme1352]

AMAZING. So proud of you both. WHAT courage. Great cabin. Thank you for this video and telling what folks don't see.

[@realeyesrealizereallies6828]

I haven't been able to watch shows like Alone for years because I've been building a cabin home, a solar system, long driveway, well, septic, electrical, plumbing, fruit trees, huge garden, pond, and the list goes on and on..I came across you guys researching cabins, years ago..And just recently saw your season of Alone, over the past few days..You guys did a great job and should be very proud..I've lived off the land during trips into interior Alaska and many other places, but with all the modern equipment required, and food I packed in, and it's still incredibly difficult..Most people have no clue..I got stopped from making my way out of the bush one time by a giant week long storm, ran out of all food, other than some fish I was catching making my way out, and had a very rough time getting out, energy wise and being able to think straight..

[@fhorst41]

We were pulling for you to win. You and your husband have been inspiring for my daughter and I as we watched. Glad to have you back safe.

[@MikeSmith-lx9jg]

Absolute best cabin ive ever seen anyone make. I hoped yall would win.

[@ebony5766]

You both did an amazing job! No regrets! Best shelter ever on the show. You supported each other, and traveled the journey together. Kudos!!

[@georgerussell8452]

You kids did great ! The cabin idea was awesome, the two of you are a fantastic team and an inspiration to all of us. Keep the videos coming,can't get enough.

[@Colhane]

You two did a fantastic job out there. Don't mind the critics. People toss out lots of good ideas that would have been totally impractical if they had a half hour in your zone to figure out what you understood in short order. Others are given over to the fantasy that they could spend weeks out there without personal suffering. You were there and you did a great job with it.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Thanks Dave you know how it goes and you are the only one I know of who sustained out there. Much respect and thanks for the kind words!

[@pacificbushcraftandfirecra6358]

Real good point Dave! I totally agree.

[@NoRINO212]

49 days is a highly admirable effort under such extreme condition, you were on the verge of collapsing before tapping, million thumbs up for you and your husband specially when the other 2 remaining teams were reaching the end of their ropes also. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@jiujitsu2000]

You guys did AMAZING! Much respect from me! Pay no attention to the critics. They weren't out there in your shoes. Thank you for sharing your journey! God bless you and your family!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Thanks much!

[@galations22o]

I know I’m late to the party…. I’ve been following u for 1-2years…. You are my mentor, teacher. And inspiration. I just discovered alone in 12/22, cause I been outside since 2020 GETTn happy! However, when I watch season 4…. I was so excited to see you ! It was like I was seeing my sister on the alone challenge! I can’t imagine how difficult that challenge is. In my mind you are already a champion!!! And when I learned u were a Christian it all made perfect sense! You are in my heart and prayers! I so happy you get to live your dream. I would love to learn how to live with nature and get back to basics!! Just know you have a loyal and faithful fan!!!❤

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

aww thanks and welcome!

[@WACKENHUT234]

Absolutely amazing! You are both courageous and incredibly capable people. I admire you both so much.

[@David__U]

Sorry you didn't win, but you two really got to show off your skills...and relationship! Your shelter was amazing, as was your positive attitude. Inspirational!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thanks!

[@bkjustice9390]

You 2 were my favorites to win it. As a spectator, I was disappointed to hear you guys tapped. As a realist, I completely understand and I'm glad you guys have no regrets because you shouldn't have. You amazed me with your skill and resourcefulness. Now I will root for the father and son team.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Sweet thanks!

[@Jimmythepin]

Brooke..... I just watched the show, season 4, and with regard to all the "experts" that are showering you with their advice.......... Trust me, they wouldn't have lasted five days. You, and Dave, did a GREAT job! I knew that there had to have been restrictions on what you could eat, because I knew that the shore birds were easy pickings, and you would have had their eggs and meat in a heartbeat. (I actually thought that that duck was going to get you in trouble!) Anyway, wonderful job! For a tiny person, you showed incredible fortitude and courage. From what we could see, you two didn't fight or bicker (as the Baird Brothers certainly did) and you demonstrated true teamwork and survival techniques. I have a hard time believing that there is so much negativity coming your way. (PS - I know this post is years old, but it's new to me.)

[@upnorth1858]

You both were freaking amazing! Y'all have more grit than 99.9999% of the rest of us. Super talented and determined couple. If we could all live more like you, the world would be a better place. Plus your channel is fun as heck! Keep up the great work. You are truly an inspiration. By the way, 'Camping With Gear From The Fairbanks Dump-EPIC' is one of the best things that I have ever seen on KZbin! I laugh out loud every time I watch it. There is no greater gift that you can give your viewers than the gift of laughter. So to all of your subscribers--- if you haven"t watched that episode---go right now and watch it!

[@sandraarmstrong1414]

very hard the lack of food,as you really enjoy cooking and eating,you did so good to last so long

[@janie2shoes537]

Brook , you guys did great !!! You 2 made the show more interesting with your humor and building the cabin. Can't wait till the next time !!!

[@Tia29451]

We loved how respectful you guys were of one another.

[@Bruce_S]

You will always be a winner to me, Brooke!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Thanks Bruce!!

[@rickgriffin3959]

My wife and I were pulling for you and Dave from the beginning. Loved your shelters, especially the cabin. Great job to the both of you!

[@wondermonkeyoutdoors]

I really enjoyed seeing you two on the show! It introduced me to your channel as well as the Baird's, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I occasionally do little 3-4 day survival outings, which feels trivial compared to what you two accomplished. Watching all of you tackle such incredible challenges is both inspiring and humbling-it’s clear how exciting and scary it must be at times. Keep up the amazing work!

[@SurvivalLilly]

Hello Brooke, I just want to let you know that you and your husband did an amazing job!! I was so hoping that you would win but tapping out was the right decision for sure. Your health is always more important than money. How long did it take you to recover from this long starvation? ATB Lilly

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Hey Lilly- thanks for watching and cheering us on. Took about a month and a half to gain the weight back but I was always needing to nibble on something for at least 3 months after. Right after we got out I had to have a very limited diet to get back in the swing of things. Starving stinks!! Thanks Lilly!

[@MikeLoweSurvival]

Thank you, Lilly.

[@456t123g]

Lily, when will we see you on the show? Like what you do, too.

[@lindalowhigh2928]

@@therealgirlinthewoods Proud of you both, but glad you tapped out, thats truly surviver. mode. i cant get enough of all your videos.

[@sbgroen]

Happy to see you both are safe and sound. I enjoyed watching the adventure and will be tuning in to see who wins.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Yep couple of great teams left!

[@bruceprosser8332]

Hi Brooke, I have been offline or having a sporadic internet for the last six weeks and this is the first I have been on KZbin for a while. One thing I have learned is that these armchair survivalists online are really mostly overweight couch potatoes and really couldn't make it two weeks in the conditions that you all are subjected to. That being said there is no shame in you tapping out. 49 days in the conditions you describe, with the limitations that you were put under (not able to really kill and eat various types of sea birds, the health problems associated with Red Tide), and the health problems that you were experiencing I say no shame. You went out and did something that 99.9% of the populace couldn't do. OK you didn't win, but 49 days!!! WOW, AWESOME, GOOD JOB and LIVE THE DREAM! Love you and Dave's videos and I am pulling for your next endeavors. I would love to come and hang out with you guys some day and kick it around the fire and roast deer meat on sticks ;)

[@MikeLoweSurvival]

Thank you, sis, for sharing. Makes sense. You and Dave demonstrated outside living in a wonderful way.

[@whynotme5926]

Glad you made it-No shame in tapping-Not worth losing your health or your life-I think both of you are very unique in your own way-I consider your adventure a success. I turned my t.v. off several months ago, so I will have to catch the adventure on you tube.

Very inspiring. It is very easy to watch Alone from the couch. We can't really know how hard it is. Thanks for doing it and taking it to the point of risking your health. Y'all are very grounded, kind & good hearted. Pleasure to watch your channels. Great comments on fasting and clarity.

[@keidun]

I am so proud of you. Brooke... Sorry you suffered so much... Your first shelter may have been wet, but it was better than the others shelters after they had time to work on them... Y'all showed a lot of skill...

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Thanks David!

[@garycloud9631]

Brooke and Dave you guys did a great job on the Alone journey and I was rooting for you all the way. I thought the cabin you built was a brilliant idea and I know it made a huge difference in your mood and attitude. Its too bad you couldn't catch more fish to sustain your bodies but that's just how it goes. It was sad to see you have to tap out but so understandable that its' what needed to be done. I'm proud of you two and kudos to you for toughing it out because I know I could never come close to what you did. Maybe someday when I'm back in Michigan , and you are not in Alaska, I can come up to your place and meet you guys and chat a bit. God bless.

[@marksalsberry231]

You and Dave are the bomb! You now belong to an elite league of participants of Alone. You have much to be proud of. Look forward to your future adventures.

[@RickKepple]

We watched the show and we were sure that Brooke and Dave would win it. We joked about them eventually building a mall, small community, hotels while everyone else were in primitive conditions. In the end, Brooke made the right call, because her body would have began consuming her organs next and when that process starts, it's tough to turn it off. I'm not a doctor, just a widower, which is why this old man lives in the woods, makes films and has famous friends cause I'm burned out like a chimney covered in creosote. I prefer the forest even as an amateur video creator, but no where near as good as Girl in the Woods, Reallybigmonkey, Survival Lilly (is that Lady Lilly with that Austrian film award?), and others. You guys are the pros. You did everything right. Except you could have built a sauna with the cabin...just thinking. You folks are THAT good!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

bahahaha thanks much! yeah they were going to pull me off the show that day... :(

[@maryhart637]

You both are heros in my book! What you did was so amazing and now hearing what other obstacles you were faced with make me feel that the producers stacked the deck against the contestants. No matter, what you made of it is phenomenal! Hooray for you both!❤️

[@alanwilliams5836]

Brooke... thank you for being so open to your followers. While it was a disappointment for us to see you and Dave have to tap out, I think this also offers you a great opportunity as informants to the community, which I probably already know you are considering. Exactly how would a person, or a couple best keep their caloric intake up in this type scenario. Honestly... we may all have to deal with this at some point... if you could share some thoughts on this in the future, that would be awesome. As far as what you had to deal with, Dave's journey to join you, the shelter and such... lessons learned as I see it. No big stuff. All food for thought however for sharing. I really really was pulling for you and Dave to win it all... wasn't God's choice on this one. So be it. Looking forward to all that you and Dave may have to share with your youtube community in the future. God Bless.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Hey Thanks Alan. What you need is to prepare in advance when there is actually game and fish in the area and things to forage. You need a boat and a gun. A net and go where the salmon are running. Stock up when you can for leaner times. We couldn't do any of that. We launched in late October. Bad time to get started on living out there.

[@shelleymessier1494]

We were so proud of you guys! 🌟

[@guns4funcajanajustin]

We are proud of you guys. You pushed hard guys you lost a ton of weight me and my wife were talking about it good call on the tap life as a couple is what means the most. You guys had a great cabin nice build. Such a lack on animals in that area not even a rat. Anything else you guys would of done different or picked different items? Thanks for taking us along your journey we are proud in everything you guys accomplished.

[@ryanschmitz9731]

You two are such a cool couple, enjoyed watching your experience on Alone. We were pulling for you. Loved seeing how supportive and loving the two of you are with one another. Best of luck moving forward.

[@rickcaldwell6174]

You guys were my favorites to win this year. I understand your reasonings for tapping and want to commend ya'll for staying as long as ya'll did and the things ya'll did while out there. Good luck with future endeavors.

[@stevennelsonmn]

I was pulling for you from the start since I had watched your channel. Your shelter was the best, and it was good to see you were able to take parts of it back with you. Sometimes the fish are just not biting it guess. I pray the experience was a blessing none the less.

Thanks Steven it was a blessing indeed

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

WELL HELLO. WHIPPLE COUPLE !! Enjoyed the showing in the challenge, need no explanation to me, ( or anyone else),, as you said ,had to be there. Certainly wanted to see a win,but your health and well being are far more important. Hell your starvation skit brought more grins and laughter than can be imagined! Good to see you back in good health and movin' ahead. Until next time...stay safe and God Bless...

Thanks much!

[@cwood3045]

Great job! Our family was cheering for you both. My best memory of your experience will be Brook's "Welcome to Starvation Island" skit. When it finished, our oldest daughter was in the next room preparing for Farmers Market and she hollered in, "She's such a dork!" In a very happy tone. Thanks for making folks smile!

[@marlowe5555]

Hey Brooke. I have been following you and Dave prior to your alone fame. Knowing a bit about you and your outdoor ability made me very excited to see how you and Dave would fare. IMO... best shelter. Best team work. Best filming. Of course, you had to make difficult choices and make peace with the trade offs that you both made. I truly hope that you have no regrets over the outcome. What a fantastic life experience. Keep on keeping on.

[@sirknight438]

I was also hoping you guys would win, and I really enjoyed your "commercial" at the beginning of the episode. You guys had an awesome cabin, but you also made the right choice to tap out, Brooke, your health is worth way more than the prize money. Love your videos, gald to see you are doing well.

[@themathineer1699]

Thanks 👍

[@SpiritForest]

I love this! Thank you so much for sharing. I wasn't able to watch the show so hearing the story from you just amazes me. Don't worry about what people say.. they weren't the ones in your situation. It is easy to sit on the couch and watch the show and judge, and like you said you were out there for over 49 days and they only saw 30 -40 mins of your journey. I am so proud of you.. and feel in the same situation, food would be an issue for me as well.

[@steveboyd3935]

Thanks for being real, and you did a wonderful job!

[@orion_13]

I was really pulling for you two! Sorry things didn't play out for you the way you needed them to. You both put up a great fight and have nothing but respect from me, as if that means anything. I really appreciate the time you took to give us a small glimpse of the insight into the real world of Alone. I know I have enjoyed the back and forth you have been doing on Fowler's channel. Wish you both all the best!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Thanks will share as much as I can though some things are proprietary to the show and can't talk about.

I understand and appreciate what you have shared so far. That was enough if that is all we get.

[@brentwentfishing]

This is great information!

[@zRockin1]

Hi Brooke, I was sad to see the need to tap out, but your health is more important, so full support on your decision! Team Whipple still won in my opinion. Your original shelter was better than any of the other teams final shelters, and when you two made the cabin, that was awesome! Too bad the fishing fizzled out or team Whipple would have easily won. Looks like it's all going to boil down to who is luckiest with fishing and it will be interesting to see which team lasts the longest, although I don't think either team will last much longer. I loved hearing more about your time there and I look forward to hearing more in the future!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

yep we'll both be discussing it more in the coming months and the two teams left are tough as nails! Respect...

I'm looking forward to Dave's take on things too and I'm subscribed to his channel, so I'll be waiting to see his post/s after he gets back. Yeah, they are tough and are due respect for sure. I'm partial to the father/son team, it's something I would have liked to have done when my father was alive, but either way, it's all impressive none the less.

I was sad to see you guys tap out, you were my favorite team. Thanks for sharing your experience. It was interesting hearing about the things that didn't make it on the show.

Fantastic wrap up. We were rooting for you two all the way. Really enjoyed everything about your journey, and you two made some great videos while battling it out. Great job

Seagulls are so plentiful here in the northwest it’s crazy they prohibited you from eating those.

thanks Thomas!

Wanted you to win so bad! A rare learning experience few will ever know. So much to share with your son and daughter when they are ready. All viewers should know participants have to start carrying extra pounds to go the distance. Cabin looked like the insurance or trump card to cross the finish line in victory. Happy you got to try and share with us, so entertaining.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Yep no regrets. Great experience!

[@SuperLoriLee333]

You two are just awesome-sauce! Deep respect and appreciation for your lifestyle and how you both carry yourselves along this journey of life. From my vantage I see faith and trust that all is well in the world is an essence in your lives. (Along with a toolkit of outdoor skills and experience) Love this! Fear = no bueño! Keep shining your light! Thanks for sharing and updating us on the Alone adventure...be well.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Hey thanks much Lorilee we're just doin what we do and loving life. Sounds like you got it figured out too. Cheers!

[@WildGeneration]

I hadn't watched Alone until I started following you and Dave on KZbin. The cabin & amenities you built were amazing. Great job!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Awesome! Thank you!
