If every parent and child had this kind of relationship the world would be a better place. Your dad is a National Treasure.

[@chrisg1043]

National? International treasure.

[@gregorytinkler5385]

I’m pretty sure he used to be a tv presenter. But I could be wrong

[@jimmydst]

I could not agree more with this.

[@philipalbon3192]

What a guy truly inspiring

[@manintheforest_]

I lost my dad about 10 years ago at the too young age of 63. Watching you and your father have your adventures and banter reminded me of the past good times I had, and to always be grateful and cherish these times. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@spigot993]

Sorry for your loss, I lost my father last year, and I keep having moments where I'd like to have shared it or asked him something. He was 78 and it was sudden. Stay strong dude.

[@brendaf3132]

​@@spigot993 😢 Me too.

[@TheBerendir]

I feel for you, I lost my dad in 2001 at 46. 45 myself now and there's so many things I've done in my life that I would loved to share with him. RIP lost dad's worldwide.

[@Atomy111]

I lost my mother at a younger age of 35 but i suppose its not a competition

[@johnnyhabfan]

your dad is hilarious, you are lucky to still have him

[@upperme]

It warms my heart that you do this with your dad. I wish this for everyone. I wasn't so lucky.

[@maryhunt2316]

Absolutely love it when TAfishing/your Dad, comes to help. You know the hilarity will soon commence when the Dad is involved.🤣🥳❤️

[@gavinpayne7162]

Love the vid. Half expected you to add some wild garlic either to the potatoes or the omelette

[@ipnpen311]

Great episode Mike. Love the ones with you and your dad. Thank you for all you both teach us.

[@cenedraleaheldra5275]

Your best video yet. So many good laughs. Great times guys. If Jacks makes it to Australia..... I will pick him up.

[@user-if9if3qo4r]

I've always loved your videos and learned from them but watching you with your dad is such a special treat.

[@jamesmartin2325]

I started watching you and your dad on TA fishing, and although I wouldn’t class myself as a ‘Woodsman’ love watching you two on this as well. The sharing of knowledge between you is one thing, but the sharing of laughter between you both is something else, it’s great to see and your father / son relationship is fantastic to watch and should be a guide to all dads.

[@OutdoorPrepper2025]

I'm sure your dad is the long lost chuckle brother, you both are definitely awesome together 👍

[@Tuur75]

Really wish I had a dad like yours! Love to watch this. Treasure him!

[@brianhorner6340]

I lost my dad when I was 14 months old so never ‘knew’ him and I lost my stepdad a couple of years ago when I was 36, your videos helped me a lot through the tough times so thank you, I also love seeing the amazing relationship you and you legend of a dad have so again, thank you for allowing me and others to follow your amazing journey, when I first got into bushcraft during first lockdown you were the first channel I subscribed to and I’ve been hooked ever since, I’ve learnt so much and I’m always looking forward to learning a lot more! A massive thank :)

[@thesteakdetective]

What a splendid addition to the cabin Mike ♨️

[@jeffvanburen1167]

Great to see you include your dad, my dad passed years ago and we hung out a lot like you and your dad, great video

[@simond2574]

I love the bond you have with your father, enjoy these times buddy, they really are priceless. Love the vids, keep it up. Always supporting

[@Scoopster]

Awesome father and son time- this is gold! If you are ever in NZ and want to hunt, fish and bushcraft without any crowds drop me a line!

[@jimlucraft5891]

I just love seeing you do these videos with your Dad - Making memories

[@daz.j]

your dads a total legend mike been watching his channel for ages now

[@amgroves76]

Lovely to see your dad and Jax. Jax had a field day digging holes xD great idea with the awning.

[@brendaf3132]

Jax was just helping plant the trees. 😂

[@jonathanluce9130]

Awesome to see you both having fun and that was a great idea to use the awning on the shed.

[@pamelamcintosh236]

Totally enjoyed watching the two of you laughing and getting along splendidly. Such a nice thing to see a son and his dad and of course Jax! It’s a joy to see him being free and having fun Ty to you both, I had lots of giggles watching you both 😀

[@aljones238]

I would love to bring my dad along and join you guys looks like such a great time. Thank you for sharing makes me think of my dad in the times we've had together

[@lauraturner9354]

Ur dad's so funny at times good be relaxed have good laugh!! Great Times!!!

[@alanmccarthy4004]

The father-son element of this is so beautiful to watch. Every time you say "dad" I see both a mature man respecting his dad, and also the young boy in you who adores his dad in.

[@robertr4193]

It's always fun to be able to enjoy doing things with your dad or mom for that matter both for the parents and for the children even if the children are adults. Spending time with the family is always the best. Axe throwing is fun and can be mastered with time and practice.

[@kevanr1776]

Great video with your Dad. I miss mine terribly, he taught me much about life - major and minor. ❤

[@Slikx666]

There's something about the three of you when you're together, it's cross between education and madness. Love it. 😋👍

[@defel1]

Love watching the two of you interact.

[@katwitanruna]

Liked, shared & commented. Up the algorithm!

[@carsta101]

the banter/craic between you 2 is great to watch - keep it up ☺🥰

[@mickhardstaff6605]

That awning is great but wouldn't it have been better over the door Graeme and Mike.

[@SteppieWick]

Dad & son having a great time in the forest. I wish I had that.. When I see video's like these I feel sad sometimes that I am always on my own. Still living a great life but unfortunately not with a amazing dad or other family.

[@danny88dh]

You guys are an absolute pleasure to watch

[@janetfeathers4128]

Neck and neck, loved it. Miss my dad

[@Valle1908]

Love to see this with your dad. Enjoy those moments, I've lost mine and would give up everything to be camping with him

[@DocTotte]

As someone who lost his father at an early age, it's so great to watch you do your projects together. This is a gift!

[@mwhyte1979]

Your dad's right about putting a little bit of milk with the egg. I do it every time I make scrambled eggs, it make the egg a bit more fluffy. Your dad is great, and his sense of humor really reminds me of my dad.

[@tardismole]

Always a joy to see Jax and Graham. It looked like a bit of a competition to see who could dig the best hole.

[@FarmersSON55]

Your dad is a hoot!!!😂

[@BartBuzz]

It's always a treat to watch you and your Dad sharing quality time. It doesn't get any better than that. And your "cabin" is the perfect getaway!

[@merseymoto9501]

Your dads still a legend love him on TA fishing still love watching him here ✌👍

[@johnporter8896]

In my house thats called a scrambomlette. A Dad special.

[@deekelley891]

You two giggling is worth an extra like ( if that was a thing). Good video-

[@Chr.U.Cas2216]

👍👌👏 Videos with Dad and dog are always good/better respectively worth watching. Best regards, luck and especially health to all involved life forms (humans, animals and plants).

Really great content and wholesome, thank you.

What a fantastic video, thankyou

[@richardS730]

I've been watching your channel for years. Ever since the original bushcraft camp. I'll tell you, dad hasn't aged a bit. He's just as energetic as he was back then. Always love seeing y'all working together

[@philodowd8080]

Wonderful team

[@armyrepelentcz4090]

Perfect thanks !

[@seanchristie9146]

awesome camping with your dad miss camping with my kids both grown up with kids

[@Dashierez]

milk is for scrambled eggs to make them fluffy...you use water for omlettes! =o

[@FreezyAbitKT7A]

Insulate, vapor barrier or just foam insulate (to preserve your ash planks, Move the pallet wood cabin here for storage. Make fold up bunks. Camp in this building with others. Are you allowed to create a pond? The private/public canal system in GB would say yes.

[@sseche]

Would like to borrow your dad for a long weekend cookout in California. Would love to record him walking the Golden Gate Bridge.🙂

[@JasonWicklund]

Great recycle of the car awning!

[@stevestogsdill5791]

Good times with dad. But where was Jax when I was trying to dig holes for fence posts in west Texas hard clay!

[@sng2225]

Love it I remember when that knife was made during a no fishing day. Also wok tossed is a thing but you just need to have muscle memory. It's actually easier to do than with a frypan.

[@Fuego1000a]

His air guitar is hilarious. He should get a frying pan to do that😂

[@andrewharris4940]

Best dad ever 😊

[@HitTheBricks89]

If your not put off by the idea Mike , using your own pee diluted about 100ml to a litre of water is exceptional as a natural source of nitrogen , which is what plants need loads of in their initial growth period. Use it anytime after whatever's growing has poked out a couple of inches and it's ok to keep a bottle in the shade somewhere for a couple of weeks. I have been using it myself for a few years now especially on plants with a lot of leaf and foliage and things like cucumbers and rhubarb. I did a side by side growing white cabbages against a popular bottled nitrogen nutrient from the gardening centre and the ones I used my pee solution on outgrew the others by almost three times. Your Dad almost certainly knows about but I thought I'd mention it as , free and easy to find . Take care mate.

[@nunyabiznez8120]

You don't get swatted, you get bobbied.

[@philodowd8080]

Brilliant video 😂

[@pharaohzhoundz]

Love your channel! So much informative content! Do you know of anyone who has made a video about what to bring for your dog? We all hear pack light, only essentials, etc..but what about the dog? Unless you're planning on sharing your steak n potatoes, they will need their food, certain first aid items that are specific for dogs and depending on breed, they might also need their own jacket for the cool nights. All that can add weight to an already heavy pack. Cheers!

[@ArielleViking]

“Pulverized omelette”, I love it. 👍🏻

[@thevirginiabushcrafter8833]

thanks for sharing

[@PabloP169]

I will keep an eye open for Jack if/when he gets to Oz.

[@PastramiStaven]

Amazing. Love these videos with your dad, hilarious, memories for life there mate.

[@debraervin5773]

Dad is brilliant! Great awning!

[@robreesor5011]

Old men will plant trees the shade of which they will never get to enjoy. I forget who said that but its a quote I will always remember.

[@freddyoutdoors]

Really enjoyed watching looked a good time outdoors

[@glorfendell2967]

What a fun day with the both of you! Thanks Mike and Dad.

[@joshuayoung2643]

Did I catch a little Monty Python in there. It's a non-tree. Lol, great gun video guys!

[@brendaf3132]

Seeing you with your Da makes me sad. My own died in 1987 and I really could use a Da right now. Things are tough for me right now.😢

[@yvonnebailey9973]

Remember your dad in Fleet!!!

[@born_again_torinos]

Your channel de-stresses me in a crazy upside down world.

[@AdianGess]

Brilliant watch guys, thanks

[@yorkshireplumbing]

Looks beautiful there on a spring's day. It should be every Englishman's yearning and birthright to be connected to the woodland. It must be a thousand times more affective than any anti-depressant.

[@richardcooper3254]

It would be good have a little competition with axe throwing and shooting with your mates

[@loragunning5394]

Loved the axe throwing section. If I didn't know better, I'd be tempted to think you were both a bit high when filming this episode, you both seemed so, hmm, almost giddy. Let your dad know that more than a few of my attempts at an omelette turned instead into scrambled eggs.

[@frogmaster83]

So nice to see you doing things with your dad, sadly that time has passed for me. Axe throwing is quite fun, I could always teach you knife throwing too. Regards JB.

[@user-qy1gp7vt6e]

Hi Mike you and Dad are so cute.👍👍with helper Jaxx

[@snacklofter]

👍👍 You guys are living the dream!
