Quite Monkeying around!🙈 hahaha great job Showing the work involved in a shelter build! Takes a lot longer than people think⏰🏕🍻

[@careenaalexis]

Haha thank you my friend! Its one hell of a lot of work for sure. Fun though!

[@michaelbyrd1784]

I enjoy both of your channels. T. What a great fish. And girl you’re an animal out in the woods; great stamina. Stay safe- all of you!

[@budtate401]

U always have alcohol w u!

[@careenaalexis]

@@budtate401 lol you see a video of mine maybe twice a month and I have one beer with me in that video. I think “always” is a pretty big stretch buddy

[@paulbier2182]

My daughters love this channel. They spend a lot of time following you. They even try to replicate some of the things you do in our patch of woods behind our house. So, I'd like to thank you for inspiring young girls to get out and experience the outdoors! I know my girls really appreciate you!

[@careenaalexis]

This is amazing!! Thank you so much!

[@paulbier2182]

No, Alexis! Thank you.. I'm sure I'm not the only parent of young girls who watch this channel. You're showing my daughters how important it is to get outside and live, that it's okay to get dirty, to break that mold of "girls have to be cute". You're teaching young girls, like my daughters, important skills, and how to be resourceful. And I can't thank you enough!

[@Chompchompyerded]

It is so good to see young women today doing this sort of thing. I used to do it all the time, but I'm 73 years old now, and haven't been able to get out in a long time. I used to be considered strange for doing it, but I didn't care. I guess I was a bit of a Tomboy, but it, and the kayaking I did in the summer months instilled in me a degree of self-confidence that other women my age did not possess. I do hope that it does the same for you. Keep on learning about and living in wild places. Keep this ancient knowledge alive. Next step is to learn how to find food even in the winter so that you don't have to bring much of that along. In the summer time the outdoors is a giant larder. The only reason people get lost and starve to death out there is because they don't know what's good to eat and how to prepare it. In the winter, it's considerably harder to survive, and you really have to know quite a bit and work hard at it to get enough to stay alive. Even so, it is possible to do it. Another thing you will want to learn is how to make useful tools out of the materials at hand. One skill you will want to learn is how flint knap. Learning to fish, trap, and hunt using only materials you can find are also skills which are important to learn. My son and my grandkids were uninterested in learning about how to live in the outdoors, and haven't been interested even in old indoor activities such as how to cook on a wood burning stove, or how to make sourdough. I have sourdough starter which has been in the family from further back in time than we have ancestors who wrote about it. It has been going since at least as far back as my great-great grandmother on my maternal grandmother's side of the family, but no one in my family is interested in it, so it will die with me. No one wants my (originally my great grandmother's) wood stove either. They are trying to get me to sell it, but I still use it to cook and bake. I'm not certain I'd know what to do with a gas or electric stove, and besides, why would I want to go to all that expense when what I have works fine? They can sell it for scrap after I'm gone just as easily as they can now. I do hope you keep learning. If there is any information that you can't find anywhere, feel free to ask me. I'm a living anachronism, and I know a lot of old and lost ways, and I would be delighted to share some of it before I leave this life behind.

[@smoothvern165]

God, I love these videos, especially with the BEAUTIFUL traditional gear!

[@careenaalexis]

Thank you so much!!

[@edwardholliday3]

In Las Vegas this time of the year is the best low Max 37 summer way to 🔥🥵 wish we were in Canada. Good luck.

[@hikingintheforest-bushcraf8576]

Все очень здорово. Красивый лес. Красивое видео. Удачи вам.

[@mikewalker4062]

The beginning of a Canadian winter and a nice “Canadian” beer. Makes for a great day. That rock will make an amazing reflector when the shelter is done. Can’t wait for the overnight.

[@chuckmorgan8437]

Girl your a very hard worker the shelters looking good

[@johnphillips1345]

Been doing winter camping for over 20 years. I enjoy watching you just found it. You have a lot of skill .. 👍

[@AdirondackAmerican]

Nothing better than building a bushcraft jungle gym, turning it into a shelter, then enjoying a nice steak and a brewski after working in the cold all day! Building a leanto out of just sticks logs and debri is a TON of work. Nice job!

[@tomgrantham9992]

That's " my " girl , at it again in the outdoors. Remember that you are a great inspiration to other women. Don't take the comment the wrong way. Merry Christmas to you and your mate.🌲🤶🌲

[@traceywoodiesadventures82]

Yes, it is most definitely inspirational for other women. My hubby just bought me my first bushcraft gear for Christmas and can’t wait to get out! I really enjoy watching your videos Careena!

[@user-David-Alan]

You are such a hard worker. Stay well and be safe. When you were hanging on that limb I was worried you were going to fall on that spikey branch poking up.

[@louisehiker9246]

Nice one Careena! I like that you use natural materials for your shelters. Some bush crafters use polypro tarps and then abandon them, such an eyesore. Thanks for role modelling how things should be done. You rock girl!

[@careenaalexis]

Thanks Louise!! Agreed I HATE those ugly plastic tarps and how people leave stuff behind that should never be left in the woods! Thanks so much for watching! :)

[@1simplenplain]

AWESOME! ENJOYED THE COOKING!

[@brodon4886]

Thanks for letting me live vicariously through you. You’re hardcore. 💪

[@careenaalexis]

Thanks so much!!

thank you for this video Alexis I always watch very interesting see you soon.

[@christopherdenison8488]

Awesome videos, keep it up. You’re tougher and more knowledgeable than most men.

[@nursemettsmsn]

It is so different to see you without grizz hope he is doing well. Thanks for this video love it

[@BBQDad463]

Thank you for this video. Eating steak, jerky, and smoked gouda in the woods: A perfect day.

[@frankie6849]

You are one tough lady very relaxing to watch crackling fire nice food and snow love the snow

[@brianadventures9622]

One of the best parts of winter is enjoying fire and a beer in the snow that gets slushy!

[@careenaalexis]

HAha I like your thinking!

[@tedsamuels3203]

This little lady is as gritty as a bear 🐻 As I was watching 👀 this video, I was thinking 🤔 She's got to be getting cold 🥶 Then She builds a fast fire 🔥 and pulls out a beer 🍺 and starts cooking 🍳 without a pan ? This video showed me alot ? NEVER UNDERESTIMATE , WHAT A LADY CAN DO ? Good Job and I can't wait to see what her shelter looks like when She's done. Cause, this lady is full of surprises and I think 🤔 It's gonna be awesome 👌

[@veteranpatriot4474]

Hey , GREAT Job. You got a lot accomplished that day. With picking the Site , Hiking to it , Multiple Trips in an out of the woods , Construction and Video taping everything ? Top Notch.

[@pbtraveler694]

always love to see you do trips out and a shelter-build---and cooking!

[@billbabcock1833]

I particularly like your fire building. When I was younger (67 now) I had a scoutmaster in Boy Scouts who was the definition of an outdoorsman. We weren't allowed to use matches to start a fire. Usually a ferro rod, but I have started a fire with a bow drill (when my arm was MUCH younger).

[@Cameroon110]

Good video as always please stay safe out there much love from Texas

[@jer6162]

Awesome video. Steak cooked to perfection. I like mine a little well done. My 5 year old grandson actually watched this with me, for me was a huge surprise since he still loves cartoons.

[@asmith7876]

I was on the Appalachian trail for 2 years and got into the whole super lightweight backpacking thing. It was a blast! Still want to do it again, but I'm not getting any younger (I'm approaching 60). You are giving me inspiration and many ideas for doing another kind of hiking and camping. And I have a whole expanse of land at my fingertips in my own area. I just need to find "that rock", lol

[@careenaalexis]

Thanks so much Bill! Bet your thru hike was an amazing experience!
