Catch and Cook PRIMITIVE Fish on a STICK | Ice Fishing the NORTH | THOUGHTS on HAND-OUTS and

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

*Hi all, so I shed a tear. I feel too. When people do right, I feel the rightness, and to me that's what makes me tick. That's what I strive to do in my daily life to do good by the people around me and genuinely help them in a way that moves them closer to what they want; success and happiness.* *Maybe I seem uncaring, at times, but caring comes in many forms. Part of what I do here helps make my family more safe and secure, and puts a house and food on the table. I can see that I'm having a positive impact, and that's good.* *I have parents for kids that I coach in hockey come up all the time and express their gratitude for reaching out individually to the kids. But that's not why I do it, I do it because I know what it's like to be a kid and what it's like to have a positive mentor and what it's like to have someone bigger than you looking out for you - to know they have your back. My aim is always to find that one little thing that I know their kid is capable of doing right now, but aren't, and moving them toward this. To one kid, it might be just getting them the skill to stop, to another, it might be to calm them down and have them focus on the small things without getting frustrated, to another, it might be to help them look at the ice and the players around them in a way that makes it easier for them to run a strategy. Each kid has a set of issues they face, a set of challenges, some of them are physical, some are emotional and some are psychological or personality based, but every kid can be helped to be better and push forward. Sometimes, just one little trick, tip, demonstration, or talk can have a huge impact on their game and in turn, their life.* *I hope I can inspire you to take control of whatever it is that is holding you back and push forward. Please if you can, read through some of the comments and give each other some help. I will do my best to catch up on all these wonderful stories you've shared. I really wish you all well - always, no matter how differently we might see the world.*

[@BushcraftNotMinecraft]

Wow! I almost shed a tear when I read this. So true!!!

[@Flintknappingadventures]

Well, you know you’ve inspired me. About the tearing thing. As men, having our feelings squashed entirely is almost as bad and unhealthy as being emasculated and being expected to be OVERLY soft and sensitive. A healthy balance is a healthy balance. We are human. We have emotions. You were having those feelings for all the right reasons and there’s nothing wrong with that. Keep on going on brother, good stuff.

[@robertpink251]

This realy hits home after all this is why i have been working in scouts Canada with youth of many ages for the last five years now, i have taken everything you have taken the time to say and put it into practis, you are right some times even we need a positive role modle to be able to find new ways to reach out to the youth we work with. I would like to say thank you for your help and keep up the good work if you have helped me I know that you are a great help with the youth you work with in hocky.

[@FlyingKillerNarwhal]

This was beautiful and could not be any closer to the truth, the way.

[@Crimithy]

Nothing better than watching these type of videos of you taking care and teaching your family all the things you know!

[@SplashAttackTCG]

I'm hooked! *Pun DEFINIETLY intended* But seriously, you and your son, you and your wife and what you do are life goals!

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Thanks Splash. It takes work, but it's much easier when you understand the rules.

[@akkijewski1533]

I just wanted to say thank you for giving me the motivation to get in touch with nature, after I started watching your videos me and my best friend have made several trips and have used many of the techniques I've learned from watching you guys so thank you for the inspiration

[@jasonprairie9968]

Awesome video, keep it up!!

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Great job, keep going with it!

[@cybercamp2900]

Thanks folks. Reminds me of Maine. My brother and our dad would go out for all day, or until we we got frozen and had dinner in hand. We needed a fish on a stick!!

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Awesome to hear!!!

[@cybercamp2900]

The Wooded Beardsman Not to mention the truly moving end to your video. Many many thanks for your inspirations🧐

[@JesusIsKing-v5c]

dude, you are the coolest guy I watch on youtube. Thank you for your words of wisdom!

[@scottmandley2150]

Tyvm for the shout out my brother! Keep up the family vids! U have such an awesome family pally... don't EVER lose that! Cheers!

[@sorrymarco]

you and your family are so wholesome 💕

[@nickpalma2782]

I seem to be just another voice in the same choir as yourself; your channel is transcending the same old jaded outdoor videos(which I still enjoy sometimes ) and becoming a platform for your passion and it has made me question my own balance with family,friends and work. I just recently turned 40 and it is amazing how my 30's seemed to expand my own philosophy and I chose to stop blocking out those primal urges and to get back to nature because I got so wrapped up in advancing my career in my 20's. Thanks for being a voice for our young men our future depends on it.

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

You and me both Nick. We need to make time to balance ourselves or else what's the point, we just end up miserable.

[@matthewsands4206]

Speaking truth, loving family, slaying perch. Best channel on KZbin.

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Thanks Matt.

[@matthewsands4206]

The Wooded Beardsman you're teaching fathers how to be fathers, men to be men. You're doing a great job! The thanks is all mine! I've felt alone in this area. My son is 5, I'm not with his mother anymore. (Long story) but teaching him the way of the woods has been very unpopular with my community and family. You're an inspiration, brother. I was the killer/head Skinner at a slaughterhouse for 2 years, so I watch your videos with some judgement, but you find a way that suits you! You get the meat! I'm rambling now, but just wanted to say, you're a great dad, keep the videos coming. Bless you in Jesus' Name!

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Keep doing it with your son. He needs it. My son talks when we walk and we do big long walks all the time. If we're sitting, no words, but soon as we head out, his mind starts to open up. You get the same in the bush, just walking, exploring, throwing rocks in the creek or whatever. Boys need it.

[@stevenedwards5527]

Thanks for the shout out Chris👍🍻. My boy's were so amped 😁. Your vids are getting better and better, can't wait for the notification of the newest vids👏

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Aiming for every Friday as long as I can keep it up!

[@bushcraftbaxter]

I really liked this video. I loved what you were talking about at the end! I'm 16, and when I was 12 I was addicted to video games, then one day when I was 14, randomly I just thought "there is more to life" then I found what I truly loved, and I hope to grow in the knowledge of the wild, and I will WORK for it! I've been learning so much, and I have seen growth, but only when I get off my butt!

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Exactly, anything worthwhile must be earned, always. Keep going man!

[@beawesomeoutdoors]

We love to see family's outdoors, on the ice and catching fish. Way to be awesome outdoors

[@RiseUp919]

Sometimes I feel like I stumbled upon your channel for this exact reason. As the father of a 4 yr old, I'm now instilling in him some of the most important lessons he'll ever learn that will provide the foundation for him to succeed at every stage of his life. Just by your videos/chats, you're helping me do that. From one father to another, thank you.

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

You're welcome! The first 5 years are the most important. Make sure he turns out to be the kind of kid that adults don't mind having around. Then everyone will treat him right. Make him tough, but respectful, kind, but not a pushover. I think you're on the right track already.

[@lavas732]

Thank you so much for your words, they hit me right in my soul, I have all these aspirations to do these things I see you doing but instead I spend my time watching videos. I’m going to start changing today, right now.

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Do it buddy, get a good balance in your life. Rooting for you!

[@tennyshedu]

Thanks ...many things to learn from your vdo. The value of life, value of being a family man. Value of being a responsible man, teaching kids to grow up a responsible people. Keep it up. Good going

[@BillyWestbury]

The most empowering thing I have ever heard in all my 50 years. thanks

[@mslmatao]

You are so insightful and you seem like an incredible father. The world needs more people like you!

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Thanks.

[@Hockeyfan9884]

Most definitely the best channel on youtube regards to teaching to live off the land and live the good life passing it on to others , knowing you have passed on knowledge that most likely will soon be a tradition of past. It sure is great to be out with family and friends in the great outdoors on any given day , and as well to share that. AWESOME , and love the videos. Great stuff.

[@vathouisk]

hey Beardsman, i just wanted to say i love your videos and thank you. i haves chronic migraines and depression, but your videos have inspire me to get and more, i didn't realize how much i missed it.thanks again and keep up the good work

[@Flintknappingadventures]

jr harper there are studies that show going out into the wilderness helps with both depression and migraines, anxiety and other things that can hold you back.

[@japonicaren]

Look into the ketogenic aka KETO lifestyle. Migraines and many other less serious aches n pains gone. Mind clear, focussed, no sugar crashes, no hunger and increase in lean muscle mass. Highly recommend it.

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Good advice, at least play around with a few things to see what might help. Could be something fixable, but it's certainly worth trying.

[@vathouisk]

i hope so, i was in a car accident 11 years ago, and i've had the same headache every day since. i'm not looking for pity, that doesn't help. thank for the support. i just want to get back to doing what i love

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Ugh, that really sucks. I would never wish chronic pain on anyone, ever. I hope you find out something that helps you, I really do. My Mom and brother suffer from headaches and I used to get them every so often as a kid, now I rarely get any, so weird. I have given up gluten an alcohol and stay pretty clean and feel better, but not for headaches, more digestive issues that I had been dealing with since a teen. I'm fully cured now with some major doctoring of my diet. Good luck.

[@ckyrooster]

Tip my hat, To You, Sir. You are spreading a valiant message. Wise contribution to everyone. Thank You

[@HeyItsKennyG]

Glad to see you out and enjoying time with family and frienfds

[@MKUltra_1]

It's good to see Jeremy back... 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🎣

[@Direwolf_Gamer]

Very wise man awesome words no end of knowledge and wisdom thanks. Kids need this in their lives sad that they won't listen to their parents but will listen to you who they never met keep it up brother.

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Maybe. My son is a good listener, I pull no punches and make sure I think in his best interest. Maybe I have it good that way, or maybe one day, he'll know best, but I do look forward to letting him take the reigns and make his own calls in life.

[@PillNye]

You're a great father! I actually was about to say how all of your videos kinda give off a fatherly kinda vibe! It's cool how were from the same area too, huge props for the videos in the cold, cause she's chilly man!

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Yeah, once you're a Dad, it's hard to shake off :)

[@Marie.on.the.journey]

Your wife looks so happy. But you have to get her to touch a fish! Of course it was another great video. So nice to see you putting your son into the great outdoors still tweaks my funny bone when you say men's work and woman's work. Of course I'm an odd duck who hangs out with a quacked flock. But the ladies in my friend circle would surprise you with woods skills. Keep doing these video's. I love seeing them.

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

I'm always surprised by what you gals can do! Keep it up :)

[@Marie.on.the.journey]

Us old gals anyway. Sad part is our entire society is being attacked by political correctness and sensitivity police. Can't show hunting or even preparing game for the stew pot anymore. Most youngsters have never been camping the old way. Now it's hot showers and 40 foot recreational vehicles with television and computers. What they are doing to our younger generation is a crime. They are losing the ability to survive without a supermarket and a debit card. Sorry about the rant.

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

When I look at my stats for the channel it reflects what you're saying. To be expected though, but young girls don't watch this, but my biggest female following is over 35, and it's not very big LOL. I think it tops out at around 10% above 35 years. So that tells you something, doesn't it? I think it's you girls looking for things your fathers used to do. But I could be wrong, maybe girls were just more outdoorsy, kind of like boys used to be too. Now boys are finding the channel and it's like hey, I should have been doing this and this looks like fun. But most actually haven't done much of this at all.

[@rameshwortandukar]

good to see Jeremy and families back!!

[@richwood8538]

Listen to what this man says. Truth is hard to come by these days. He is sharing because he cares.

[@Flintknappingadventures]

[@rogertay593]

great to have a daily outing with family and friends

[@robertpink251]

I have been fishing and hunting for years and I fully enjoy your work and what you provide us the vewer, so stay on your path and I can't wate for the next vidieo

[@bmichaelf8819]

The Wooded Beardsman, since I was young I remember going fishing with my mom and dad. Sadly I lost my dad in 2009. I love to go fishing and never really went hunting or trapping. I’m 16 now and I still don’t have a father figure in my life. Me and my friend have planned on going into the woods and seeing how much we can really do. You have made me want to try what you do. I plan on seeing how far I can really go. I’ve always been locked in my house, I’ve never really had woods or anything to really go do. I live in a small town in the country side. Thank you for all your videos and for giving me the dedication to go out and do things with my life.

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

I hope you find someone that can help you figure out what being a good man means. It sounds like you got a good start, so now it's time to build some confidence in your Mom's eyes so she can trust you. Find some good buddies and start stretching those wings. At 16, you should have a good idea about who you want to become. Sorry to hear your loss, it's tough. Everyone needs Mom and Dad, they provide the needed balance in our lives.

[@bmichaelf8819]

The Wooded Beardsman I love your videos and it helps me through a lot. They have taught me a lot. I have plans this Saturday to go hunting and kill and cook rabbit with a buddy. Thank you for all the advice and knowledge I’ve gained from you and your videos, it means a lot.

[@chrome_is_gold]

I agree with what you're saying here bro so many people just give there kids a screen (black mirror) when they are bored so then they rely on that for entertainment instead of going out and doing something like having adventures or enjoying what's around them in nature.

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Being bored is good, I'm happy when my son gets to that stage. Now it's time to be creative and solve the problem, so they need to start thinking.

[@seanmcgill6789]

I wish my boys were old enough to watch and understand the message your saying in this vid. I've decided.. this summer. Me. Canoe. Backpack and my fishing pole are going to go on a trip into Algonquin park. First time doing it. Thanks for inspiring me. Your one hell of a guy!!

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Enjoy! No better time than now!

Best video yet when it comes to the family part of what you do.. Love it keep it up.. Ill watch every time. And my kids enjoy watching these as well!!

[@tylerliver4258]

Love the videos brother unfortunately i dont fish and hunt like i use to i work 6 days a week but this year is my Re-introduction back to nature

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

You do what you need to do Tyler. You're getting it done.

[@why7069]

Chris. Your content is amazing, to think that we as humans are so capable of surviving and thriving in the wilderness. To me it seems almost as though humans, particularly in the western world have forgotten all about nature. Thank you for showing us our true heritage and sharing what you know about life and this planet. The way we are treating mother earth with our big corporations and lots of pollution is mental to me and I think this kind of lifestyle really is what us humans and indeed the planet needs more of in the future. This video in particular really inspired me to go out and explore my area. Thank you again Chris This channel means alot to me.

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

You'll be happier for it!

[@linklesstennessee2078]

Some good advice WB I have got my grandson shooting trap and skeet and he hunts he is 12 now but he won the regionals at 10 and 11 years old last year I took him to the nationals he placed 12th out of 30 different states well over a hundred shooters in rookie class listen boys in today’s world you can be just about what you want to be but you have to do your part now to the young lady’s I watched a little girl from the time she was 12 years old to 17 years her varsity year in shooting I watched her win the nationals her brother won the boys varsity nationals at the same time I still shoot with this brother and sister don’t ever think that you’re to young so get out and do something shoot or fish ,hunt ,camp enjoy the great outdoors and never fool with drugs a synthetic life is no life I’m old walking on a cane now but I still get out my grandsons and granddaughter is my life now enjoying teaching them what you don’t learn in school honesty and integrity my little friends are two words you need to know so get out there and do it the world is waiting on you

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Well said friend.

[@jasonwalker4740]

I am graced with two boys, when they were growing up I spent time all my spare time with them out and about fishing shooting and with the dogs. These were all they past times I indulge in when I was growing up and sharing these times were brilliant. On leaving school both my boys decided to carry on with the outdoor activities and went to college to learn about gamekeeping and are now both qualified gamekeepers. I would like to believe I had an influence on their path and destination, but whatever the reason it's nice to spend time with them doing what we have always done since they were 5 and 8.

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Good for you, you did them right. Now look at them!

[@NatureIntoAction]

Amazing that you are building a youth audience and you make a great outdoor mentor.

[@hanginwithdave1958]

as a boy I read a book called my side of the mountain. since then I have had a desire to learn all that I can about survival, bushcraft, primitive skills etc... I really got into it in 2008 wile serving in the Marine Corps when I discovered Dave Canterburys videos. from there I have watched many different channels and been inspired to use these skills I have learned. I teach my nieces and nephews how to forge their own knives how to make fire with sticks and how to get safe drinking water. I am still learning this stuff myself but I find so much joy in teaching kids this stuff because my dad never taught me how to be a man he only taught me how to play the victim. I am proud to say that I am not a victim, I am a superhero! I hope to pass on useful and fun knowledge to the younger generations. didn't mean to write a novel lol. I love your Chanel brother, Keep it up!

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

I'm glad to hear you say this. Playing victim is a stupid strategy that might get you some points in some crowds, but not in life generally. You'll always be miserable because that's how you'll play the game. I'm glad you're going super hero, that's a great goal and way of looking at life.

[@mariceldadap1293]

Great video mate, it’s ok to cry , Looking forward for this week end going rabbit hunting with my six year old grandson he loves it, good day to you and your nice family. 🇬🇧

[@wnchillbilly1]

well , pretty deep discussion for an ice fishing trip. . My kids are grown now , when they were little , I was working 12 hour shifts in a paper mill , it was a hard grind , but a man does what he has to do. there was always good food on the table. For years , I was very proud of that , it wasn't until they were grown that I realized that's what was expected of me anyway , they'd have rather had more ' Daddy ' time. I guess it's different with girls , but with my 3 girls , I felt like they'd rather spend time with their friends than with me , , and to be honest , I was tired , , so now that I'm in my 60's , I look back , don't have many regrets , but that's one of them.

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Yeah, got to make them do the right thing, especially when they are young, since they don't know what's good for them. But balance is what we look for. Time with friends, time with family in a healthy mix, but we do notice when things aren't balanced and that's where regret comes from.

[@ianmagiskan9282]

Well put, if men are given back their responsibilities, women can relax and that is a good thing.

[@shaimabohari7370]

I've been watching your videos for a while and I wanted to let you know that they've had an enormous impact on me. I came across your youtube channel by accident and got hooked like an ant to honey. Although I don't hunt or fish, I've started spending more and more time outdoors on my own most times. It's been truly amazing getting in touch with nature, despite the fact that I live in a glorified desert. I've also started doing much better at university. For someone that got good grades, I've started acing my classes in my masters because of the time I spend outdoors. It's helped me with my education and my mental health. I've also reestablished my definitions of masculinity and boldness and other things. I'd moved on from the bad boy phase of my life a while back but now I'm more clear and focused on what I want in a partner. There's a pretty good chance you won't read this, given its a long message and I imagine you're busy, but I wanted to thank you for what you did and I hope you continue making the videos. It may sound weird coming from a complete stranger on the internet but you're very much like a father figure. So thank you very much for everything.

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

So far I have been able to read every comment, but this is slipping away slowly. What you shared is beautiful and makes me very happy to hear. I know you are on the right track. All you need to do is put one foot in front of the other, every day, and soon you'll be exactly where you want to be. Some days will be harder than others, and you may want to give up, but keep pressing. It's all we can do, all of us. Good luck!

[@BD-lf3im]

another awesome vid after work I could do with a really good day out in the wilderness

[@justinyakopatz6117]

Your channel is the first, and at this time, the only channel I am subscribed to. I've been screwing around on KZbin, almost as long as there has been a KZbin. AGAIN, first and only subscription. Your content, (and probably the climate), reminds me so much of growing up in Alaska. Now that I have been living in "the lower 48", for abour 18 years, I have realized something has been missing. And it ain't the frostbite. Maybe It's dodging moose on skis, maybe It's sharing the woods with the grizzled brown ones, or maybe I just miss the woods I grew up in, and eating fresh Grouse and Ptarmigen that I harvested myself, or got with my dad. Since I have lived in southern Oregon, I have only been fishing three times, and I have hunted like Elmer Fudd. I feel like some flat-lander that never spent a day in the woods. Thow filling my tags hasn't panned out the way I would like, I have been getting closer to bears, cougar, wolves, and deer than ever before. I have gained small successes as a hunter, even in absence of total success. Always inspiring, and always genuine, always a pleasure to watch, thank you.

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Yes!!!! This is how we do. For a long time, I also rotted in the city, now I find bush where I can, even though it might not be the exact bush I'm used to. Still keeps me sane.

[@aaronmaine7954]

Wooded Beardsman, This video is one of your best yet. As an avid hunter and just plain outdoors person I am always trying to get the children in my family to go outside and learn something. My Nephews are all about the outdoors. hey love to hunt, fish and cam with their uncle. most of the other kids are a breed all to themselves. When I was a child my sister and I grew up in the swamps of Florida. We didn't have computers or cell phones back then but even if we did I am sure we would not have utilized them. I was in law enforcement for close to 10 years here in Missouri where I live. I am now a bondsman and bail recovery agent. (bounty hunter). I have seen things in my career choice that make me ill, things you cant unsee. A lot of the parents in todays world let their kids run all over the place never knowing where they are or who they are with. They are to busy doing drugs to care. It makes me glad to see guys like you and Jeremy out there making these videos. My nephews and I love and watch al of the videos we can from you and one world crafter. we enjoy them and try to get others to watch them. we need more men out there with the clean entertainment and learning that you provide. I thank you for what you do. Aaron

Hey ya WB! Chris, awesome video, awesome heartfelt talk! U inspire many, young, old, male and female. Many of us has, those of us that r older has for along want/wanted to to live this life, know these skills u show us, those of us who really want learn these skills come to u. I am 57 now, as a child I tasted this and that plant, shot a black bird wondering if I could cook it, but the fear of getting n trouble, i would have learned more then if we had cell phones that we do today. The young people (or older) that come to u today may not have a mentor n their life to teach them, so we come to u, u r that mentor we need n our life, I cannot speak others, but I can pretty much bet that the appreciate u as much as I, I learn a lot from u, if I don’t understand something, I ask (like y u soaked a beaver carcass n the lake, I don’t know y yet) anyway, u r the real deal WB, we all know that, those that dog u r just jealous, u r wonderful n my eyes and many others, u r greatly appreciated, these video’s take x which u make for us to lear n. Now at the end of your talk from what u read caused u to shed some tears, u apologized, I see no shame (yes, Back n the day men were not allowed to cry, and to me that is bs) which blows my mind that it was ok for men to show love but not pain, to shed tears does not make u less of a man.

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Thanks Joy. As per the beaver..that was more to just keep it clean while processing if that's what you mean. If I cut on the ground, stick and such would stick to it. Other than that, it keeps flies off, and also keeps it cooler since the water temp is spring cold...so it keeps better.

[@waltpagan]

20:00 very wise advice, for any age! But better to know earlier on lol.

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Wisdom is always better to know early :)

[@g4m3rwolf80]

I love the videos, I haven't watched too many, but I watched when you made a campfire and I got hooked on the vids

[@bushcrafters3909]

"Why are you watching stuff that pisses you off?". My new mantra.

[@halsspeer2937]

Great video. Thanks for your time and effort to make sure that the only thing in this world you can depend on is your self.

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

That's right, self first, extra spoils to those around you.

[@LoganCrouch]

[@alexsteele2939]

Semi old video but addicted to watching your videos. Live in the UK and wish I had the opportunity to hunt etc like to do. Been going through a rough time this year but this video really resonated with me. Keep up the amazing work you're doing! P.s. loving the cabin build and looking forward to what's next!

[@Baba_booey1023]

[@ZWIERZAK1962]

Naprawdę masz świetny kanał Kolego , super filmy , miło się słucha choć nie znam twojego języka i ogląda, pozdrawiam z Polski .

[@Wheelinhunter1776]

This talk struck a nerve with me man. I love it. I am in a wheelchair and have had chronic health problems for years and I let myself go to 420 pounds and when I realized I was over letting my life pass me by, I decided to stop letting my health control me. I just turned 30, and I have lost 30 pounds, and in two days it will be a year since I drank a soda etc (I was up to 6 a day and stopped cold turkey) and I have changed my diet to no more than 1400 calories (per my doctor so I make sure I'm still getting enough to keep my health and nutrients up) and only eating meat I've killed or fish I've caught. It's giving me the excuse I need to go out and "grocery shop like a man" lol. I want to hunt and fish every state and a few countries. I went to Oregon for my uncle's funeral and ended up with sores on my foot (from pressure) and the old me would have stayed in bed with it up, and let myself get depressed, but I just spent 3 days of hard huntin for coyotes and while I didn't even see one it was totally worth it. I am taking a few days to rest my foot and keep it up because Its infected but I'm on antibiotics so soon as the swelling goes down I am going back out. (ESPECIALLY because there's a local rancher who lost 3 calves to coyotes the other night so I'm targeting those). My mom who is really cautious said I shouldn't go this last weekend but I told her, I have to go and live my life. I can rest after I'm done hunting, BUT if it gets so bad that going hunting or fishing kills me, then it was my time because if I can't live how I want I am not alive. Pulse or no pulse. I may have ended up with an infection but I caught it early and I had 3 days of great hunting with close buddies and if i have to take a day or 2 on my bed with my foot up so be it.

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

You're post gave me chills man. This is your life, you only have one so you might as well make the most of it. Keep doing, keep doing.

[@Wheelinhunter1776]

The Wooded Beardsman you got it brother, and now that ur on my Facebook you'll be seeing it. Thank you.

[@corletteburkett8305]

I have not seen a man as you are in a long time, your wife is blessed to have you keep being you .

[@alfaomega1941]

Great video man, so much tips to take in.

[@bivianocazares6919]

You guys are awesome, your videos are very informative,

[@Fabianblanc0]

Recently got out of a 2 year relationship with the girl I loved very much, she needed space. I take your advice on being yourself and not chasing women as much as I chased for her and seeked for her attention. I will do what I do best like working on vehicles, being active outside, camping out, grilling for my family and having a good time with my friends and family, I’m 19 and I know now that my quality’s and what I have to offer for a women will one day attract someone special for me. Thank you for the great outdoors content and for your opinion on boys and how us boys should be.

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

You gave me chills! YES, keep doing this! A woman is going to latch on to you so fast...just as soon as you get started, she'll jump on your life and take a ride!

[@Fabianblanc0]

The Wooded Beardsman thank you you’ve inspired me and opened my mind a bit more, have been going through a rough time with everything and it’s comforting to here your opinion on how us men/guys can attract women and the right thing to do is be yourself I can’t keep chasing every beautiful woman out there to be happy, one will be attracted to me and join me. Thanks again!

[@jiujitsu2000]

Very nice video brotha! I don't always comment, but I'm always watching. I miss seeing you drop in on my channel. I understand your busy though. Your work on these videos is truly amazing! God bless!

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Yeah buddy, I'm spending a lot more time editing, filming and also interacting with people in the comments. I will check out some of your stuff when I get a chance. Keep pushing for ALONE, hope you get there!

[@jiujitsu2000]

Excellent! Sounds like things are going well. I'm so happy for you! I wish I could dedicate more time to youtube, but it's not in my cards right now. My full time railroad career has VERY demanding hours and I'm a single parent father. Maybe someday things will loosen up. I will keep pushing for ALONE! I think we have a similarity in the fact that we both go for what we believe in. It would be amazing if they chose both of us for ALONE! Now that would be a treat for the viewers! Take care!

[@nsmilitia]

Bro, beardsman! The conversation on life was deep and so fucking true! I respect what you do! Keep on, keeping on!

[@dynamicbassin7956]

I love your videos man! They always keep me up and running! Keep up the good stuff bro!!!!))))

[@johnlord8337]

I mention to some of the YT BBQ people when they slap a steak on their barbie. Consider using a metal plate, with a handle, that has pin nails on it (like a bear board, or cotton carding paddles - less tines than the photo). Have 2, and marinate the meat and spice rub on the meat, then push both plates onto the steak sides. Cook the steak on the BBQ (and continue to turn over the metal plates for even cooking). Makes for perfectly cooked seared surface, juices caramelize (bark) on the meat and plate, and the tines perfectly pass heat into the meat for less cooking time, and great cooking. The same would be great for doing this for fish over the coals (especially pike and their Y bones). When the plate is removed, you can slide one plate from the other plate. The meat on one side of the fish (and spine/bones) will pull away from the other plate of meat and bones. And you can have totally near-bone-free fish eating. And pull the bones from the other side of the fish and you have two fish sides on the hot metal plates (and handle) to eat with (of course a fork) pulling the fish off the tines, with all of the fish juices caramelized on the skin. www.pacificwoolandfiber.com/new%20images/accessories/John%20Day%20Cotton%20Medium%20B.jpg
