Canoe Trip, Part II Birch Creek, Alaska

[@gwenrobinson3521]

I really like the videos of you two on a trip together. I appreciate how you explain things so people that do not know can learn. Thanks so much! 🙏

[@ernestpaul2484]

It has been 37 years since I left Fairbanks. I have missed being in Alaska almost everyday since. I am not able right now physically and medically to go back and do what you are enjoying. I loved my 3 years there and I have to thank the Army for sending me there and experiencing all it has to offer.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Agree. Once it's in your heart it stays forever!

[@springthyme1352]

Watched his and hers. Great trip. One for the books I'm sure.

[@dianetetz438]

Such a fun adventure! I especially enjoyed the history of the canoe! ❤

[@jonabriggs8829]

I LOVE watching you two together , I haven't laughed so hard in my life !!

[@robertasmith5472]

I love how positive you are and how you see the beauty in every thing, keep on truckin!!

[@mysticlady603]

It was a great trip to go on with you and Dave canoeing down the Alasian River; camping out ; searching for berch; picking blue berries and taking 😀 😄 that bike ride with you to get the truck. 🦋🍎

[@paulw1824]

So beautiful and peaceful Brooke ! You are living the life most only dream of . Great video !

[@doloresschafer706]

Omg! Girl gone is so beautiful inside and out!

[@charlesallen9592]

I truly loved watching you and your husband! everything you guys do is extremely interesting to me! keep it up guys, you both are good together!

[@markfoulds9917]

Great video of both you and Dave (I have watched his too). You two are a great double act. Loved the bike ride at the end too, just fantastic scenery....utter bliss. Hugely informative video and living as i do in the UK, i am very jealous of these amazing spots.

[@donaldjohnson4019]

Birch Creek Alaska Beautiful River And Countryside !

[@steveostlund4803]

I'm a subscriber to your and your husband's channel I love you both. I've always wanted to go to Alaska and watching your videos I really feel like I'm there. Thanks 👍😊

[@kathywyatt5087]

You know, the brain is an amazing thing. When you said to smell the sage, I could smell it. I have had that happen before. So neat!!

[@julieannst-onge108]

That was a Fun Canoe Ride,I enjoyed it.Beautiful Place Brooke!I Loved your Video.

[@polishpicl]

Cannot say enough about how great your videos are... I am with you ON that river..and at your campsite...and every bite you take of he blue berries.I can taste.. excellent video..

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thank you!

[@andreapecoraro6972]

What a wonderful video, dear Girl in the Woods. I was very impressed by the excellent knowledge of the underwood that you have. Canoeing is just as fun. Bye Bye . . .

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thanks andrea!

[@lindanyzio7045]

Whatever you're doing, you're doing it right. Most videos (other people's) are pure energy the first day, and then exhausted vibes throughout the rest of the trip. You guys balance it out well, ending on a positive note. Love it! ✌

[@lindawoody8501]

I recommend that you consider sewing ties to your fine felt hat so it would not fly off in high winds. I once lost a nice hat to the ocean harbor in a Mexican town because of high winds. Tie laces could be pretty easily sewn to your hat and could be tucked underneath when not needed. Glad you had a great canoe voyage. Looks so fun!

[@ldsphotodude49]

Love you guys you are such normal regular people. I think it's great that you show everybody that this can all be done without titanium and expensive kayaks and tents. A good old truck a Coleman canoe and Coleman tent, an old aluminum coffee pot and enough imagination and grit to gittrdone and you can do any adventure you can think of. You folks are my hero's I hope one of these summers soon I can take one of your classes just so we can sit around the campfire at night and compare stories. I want to hear more about your alone adventures too.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thanks much gary!

[@Uniquelyyours1]

Such a cool adventure, Brooke. Thanks for taking us along:)

[@clairgardner5146]

Thank you for sharing ! I have 16 lbs of blue berries in my freezer this yr. there the Best

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

[@lizetearruda3196]

I enjoyed your video as always but it is very nice to see you and Dave making a video together ;-) where i came from the Azores Portugal all the highways are all covered in flowers hydrangeas.

[@kinsey8109]

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

[@suesherman8277]

Love this venture with the two of you. Picking blueberries - use your hat for container❤️

[@cflorence96]

Awesome Video! I enjoy when you both are in the video!

[@jacksg1809]

[@petersmith-prolifeministri6969]

Its great seeing the 2 of you toether.

[@PoconoJoe]

cool, just watched bushy's video of the same trip, good times! like getting two perspectives as well:) thnx u2!

[@WayneTheSeine]

Being an avid fly fisherman....I hate high wind. I want to take a round house swing at it. Love the smell of sage. I love using the smudges when I can get them. Beautiful country and how blessed y'all are to be there doing what you love to do and best....sharing it with us.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thank you blessed indeed

[@tombeckett4340]

That wind can be nasty especially on big water like Lk Superior. We did a 14 day paddle on that Lake. Sometimes we couldn’t get back on because of the wind . It was a 200 mile trip down the White River then paddle back to Nipigon . It was awesome. 🇨🇦👍

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

sweet

[@jacktaylor1030]

That was so much FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@rdpauley9824]

I enjoy watching you and Radical. What an adventurous life you two have. Keep it up.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thank you!

[@peteraxelsson2473]

Thanks for a great video. Love your positive attitude!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thank you

[@woodpetal]

Love me some chipotle tuna and crackers from the DG. I do prefer the chicken salads. Served on a paddle...love the team work on the river. You can always use your hat as your berry “bucket” too. You gobble up berries just like a little bear! Thanks for sharing your personal time with us in the lower 48! Heading to the UP for 5 days to hunt up some Yupperlites!! Say “Hello” to “Bushy”!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thanks much!~ have fun!

[@gary8033]

Oh man! Blueberries! ❤❤❤

[@mikethompson8712]

That's beautiful country....you guys have got it made.

[@HamsterLife_EnglishLearning]

Nice seeing you together doing a video! I would surely pick the wind over the bugs. Wow lots of land erosion. I so love pine tree's. I'm happy you doused the fire with those high winds. Looks like the woods there need some never ending major fire trimming. Lol Mrs. Journey! Nice mix content.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thanks jude

[@barrywebber100]

Very nice to see you and Dave enjoying a trip together Brooke, all those blueberries were amazing, and love your earrings! Best wishes to you both.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thank you!

[@Ria-lh9os]

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

[@TressaZimmerman]

Great video. You sure weren't kidding about the wind.

[@teddyjelke2537]

I’ve seen this one, but beautiful camp site though, thanks Brooke for sharing! 👍🏼😉

[@bennettlee6218]

Another GREAT video Thanks so Much!!

[@cynthiawey8898]

It was fun watching this trip on both of your channels :) you are so much fun

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Thanks so much 😊

[@alicetharpe3888]

Thanks for letting me come on this trip, I had fun!

[@kurtbaker4078]

Wonderful windy adventure. Thanks for bringing me along!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thanks for watching

[@scottt8424]

Hey there Brooke and Bush radical love you both keep doing what you doing I love it God bless now

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thanks scott!

[@chuckcarpenter6858]

My dad & Grandfather picked blueberries in MI & my mom & grandmother made jam out of them. It was a nice, peaceful & interesting video until you hit the road. Then you knew modern things like a road was the time to speed everything up & get going. I know to slow down & let the world go by. Hopefully you 2 will do it also because peace in life is only in your mind & not in the rest of the world.

[@susanlawless1168]

Part one was great and this one part 2 is absolutely amazing. your knowledge of bushcraft is fantastic. Thanks for sharing it with all of us. Love your channel, love your videos and love you.👍👍🤗🤗👍👍

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thanks susan!

[@kodeywhitewolf4056]

What a fun adventure Great id ea with the bike so you can get back to the truck Las t time I was on a canoe trip was when I went to camp as a kid Lots of fun for 6 days downth Saco in Maine

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Sounds great!

[@davew261]

Very enjoyable adventure, thanks for taking us along. I did however think it would had been funny had you said when you got to the truck " Oh No, my husband has the keys!!" just to be joking of course.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

lol

[@steveforsythe9264]

Those blueberries looked so plump and juicy, you guys had a fun trip!!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

yes thanks

[@brackney45]

Great trip, especially loved learning about the plants in both videos. Thanks for sharing, great to see you back posting.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thank you

[@johnbrock1602]

Love the scenery always love Alaska

[@tranquilswana-z3782]

Difficult hat day great video, you are such an inspiration ,

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

lol thanks

[@smileyhappyradio]

What I do since found the channel, if I am all caught up on newer videos, I go back and watch older videos. I love learning about foraging, crowberry, high bush cranberry, edible moss, I mean everything about the channel is fun to watch, but I love learning skills, I could use in the woods, learning about the natural ecosystem, in this case, of Alaska, where I have not been yet, someday...

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@susanolson3611]

Eating right off the bush, you're so cute! 😁 That reminds me of my sister who kept finding bites out of her strawberries. She finally caught her grandson on his knees eating berries without picking them!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

great story

[@gerardcaccioppo4539]

This is one of the best videos. I've seen you guys really enjoy yourself. That's really cool. Nice to be out somewhere where it's not crowded.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thanks gerard

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Yes...YOUR HAT! That is some hand-crafted masterpiece. It is maybe as much a part of your brand as the battered cowboy hat smooth-singing country star, Don Williams always wore. ( I could also have cited 'Boxcar Willie....but....) Totally agree with you about ceaseless wind. Sometimes the wind has driven me back into the tent.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thanks james. i do love don williams, and remember boxcar willie too! but yeah- i guess you're prob right. Love me my hat! thanks for watching!

[@woodcarver3864]

Great Tour,very Funny😁👍.

[@BushCraftBums]

Great video guys! Looks like a great time! Thanks for taking us along! Stay blessed

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thank you BCB!

[@kiamichiozarks7056]

Those Blueberries looked so good. Those Bear berries looked like Jerusalem Cherries to me. I don't know for sure, I've never been to Alaska. Fun video!

[@TheCannonofMohammed]

Goodness gracious you guys are the ONLY other people I've ever known to use the bicycle in the canoe trick.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

yay!

[@dianevillemaire8286]

Great video. Beautiful country. Blueberries looked yummie. Thanks for sharing

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thanks Diane!

[@lesdrinkwater490]

Great video, you & Dave had a good trip, thanks for sharing. Blueberries looked tasty, we don't get them growing in the UK but Billberries & crowberries are good right now.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thank you!

[@joycecreelman6157]

Great trip. I had fun.

[@gadolelohai115]

I totally enjoyed this adventure:) thnx for uploading!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thank you!

[@kenwatson7815]

Enjoyed the first half second half too, looks like your truck needs a little air in the back driver side tyre, or it's an optical illusion

[@deokiedass6383]

Reminds me of my husband and I camping in East coast Canada.

[@chuckcarpenter6858]

It was fun playing part 1 & 2 at the same time on 2 different monitors. Dave should use his gas to make the canoe go faster. You can get even with him if you think about it & he'll never expect but he'll now where it came from.

[@gstokely7]

Enjoyed your video. Still beautiful and very peaceful.

[@cliveashley9364]

Enjoying your video fr Jamaica island 😎 Caribbean

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

[@noradonovan6707]

[@jayejeffries8465]

Loved both videos and would love to float that stretch of Birch creek, but it's a long way from here in Alabama.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

yeah it is

[@tedjelke6228]

I love this vid, I enjoyed watching it, thanks! Looks like you two had a nice trip!

[@lakeerieprepper]

Just so beautiful....I've always wanted to go to Alaska! Never had blueberries fresh like that......looks like a great time!!!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

[@MannsAdventures]

Great video! Me and the wife plan on visiting Alaska in a couple of years via cruise. I would move there in a heartbeat. God bless.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

nice thanks much!

[@suedavis681]

Brooke, I love your videos. I am concerned about the mole/freckle on the right side of your face. Have you had it checked? I am a melanoma survivor and skin spots like yours raise the hackles on my neck. I just need to say something and let you make the decision to have it checked. Keep on keeping on gal..

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thanks you're right. i should have it checked. thanks!

[@briannicholson5917]

Looked like a fun trip

[@Lapeerphoto]

Wow, burn your clean water to douse the fire. Seems like a job for river water to me. Unless you're at end of trip and not needing more fresh water - like on a long bike ride - ha. But I'm just an ameture. :D Fun video, thanks for taking us along on your adventure!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

ah we had enough. can always boil more if needed. thanks!

[@shortandresourceful6242]

Wonderful vicarious video! Worried about you when I saw you alone on the the bike with no backpack. But all ended well, with fresh blueberries as a dessert!

[@tinascott3892]

Loved your journey down that river & watching you eat those blueberry's, you should of taken some home with ya , God bless you both ❤️

[@pamelagonzalez9567]
