For the past 6 years, I have struggled with Addiction. Watching DMFD and Bluegabe reignited my love for the outdoors and fishing. It has been a pinnacle point in my sobriety and whenever I am having a rough day I throw on a couple of your videos. My recovery is centered around fishing and backpacking up in the Pacific Northwest. Now with Two and a Half years of sobriety, I have been able to hold down a great job and save up for a nice bass boat of my own. Take it out a few days a week after work and do a lot of Salmon Fishing on the Columbia River. The outdoors and your videos reigniting my passion have been a lifesaver. Just wanted to say thank you for all you do! You truly make a difference in the outdoor community and sure have in my life.

[@Thefishingplumber]

Fishing also helped me tons staying sober i don’t no longer wish to use drugs thanks to god I wanna go fishing on my free time that’s it my extra money goes to gear I never think about drugs again except when I see my old friends…. And see they ain’t worth a shit

[@johnnywatts8517]

You hang in there. You got this.

[@gamechanger1687]

Been there boss. Addiction is a beast and ruins everything u truly love. Cool to see you have sobriety for a while now. It's amazing how good it feels to go out and fish and hunt and just enjoy the outdoors. Instead of being dope sick or high. We ca live the life u always wanted to..I'm happy for ya. The world meets no one half way if u want something go get it and never let anyone tell you can't do something..

Armadillos are a natural carrier of Leprosy, Flordia has several cases a year. Be careful in handling them. If something weird shows up check the symptoms online.

[@ARBORCULT]

95% of people are immune, I won't be handling them however.

[@JeffDAPG]

Only 30 to 50 percent of people that handle them get leprosy every year. Not all have it either.

[@Jacksonn985]

Yeah but same could be said when catching frogs and snakes and what not, everything has something. But armadillos aren’t something I’d eat or catch

[@alexjones6758]

I have been a fan of this channel for years I live in Barbados and I am a former Police Detective Sergeant . I just love the way you and your family has progressed over the years . Everytime I hear you reminisce about your Grandfather it gets me kind of emotional because it shows that you haven't forgotten your roots and that he has had a great effect on your life and upbringing. It also makes me reflect on my Grandaddy who has long passed he was a very loving man an old cane cutter and plantation worker who despite that was a very brilliant man actually a mathematical genius . Gosh I miss him and hope to see him one day in heaven. God bless you and your family Rob . Keep up the good work. Respect!!

[@beckywilliamson1577]

I about fell off the chair when I heard you say your GrandDaddy was "Shotgun" Shiver! I grew up in the saddle on my GrandDaddy's place, Williamson Cattle Ranch. When I was in 1st & 2nd grade, we lived in town, right next to Shotgun :) Just three months ago, I rode by his old place with Iris. As you know, Iris was a good friend of Shotgun, and her stories of him & the old days are legendary!! You come from good tough stock. Thanks for sharing those memories!

Love this brother, very humble. These are the dinners that also take me back to the days of my childhood. My grandpa use to the same. True memories.

Thank you for what you do Robert and your fellowship, also glad to see you back on the Ranch. God Bless

[@billwhite7099]

agreed, these are my favorite vIdeos of DMFD.

[@robmarais]

So stoked you were cooking a Cracker Classic! My uncle by marriage was a north FL cracker, and was so poor growing up in Perry that they couldn’t afford milk for cornflakes-they used CocaCola instead! All his life he used CocaCola on his cornflakes for breakfast, because he grew up a poor Cracker and proud of it.

[@billwhite7099]

Have you ever heard the story about the CocaCola millionaires in Quincy? At one time Quincy had the most millionaires per capita in the US. The banker noticed even when times were hard people would spend a nickel for a cold coke. So in like the 20s he told everyone to buy shares of CocaCola and never sell them. Well then did and with all the splits Coke has had those early $40 dollar shares are worth millions. If only your uncle lived in Quincy.

[@stanleyshelby7460]

I still start chuckling after watching Rob holding a paper plate in one hand (cooking outdoors up in Alaska) and putting the dishes in it off of the fire 🔥. The plate began to burn, so he had to put it out...got another paper plate to remove more items and caught that plate on fire as well....lol 😆.

Hey brother, your living the good life. Most people will totally lost if we have to go back to way things were. Did you know the roots on those Australian pines make some of the most crookedest walking canes. When a storm blows the big ones over get your bow saw and start cuttin'.. Dry the root, peel the bark when it starts cracking. Like I said some of the most unique, strong, walking canes.

[@ronsavacool14]

Awesome video Rob! I love getting notifications when you post a new video! You never know what’s gonna happen with your video’s! The fact that you caught that armadillo out of no where was awesome! Thanks for the content man!

[@danlowery5552]

Robert one of the best part of this video is you having the younger boys at the ranch. I bet you are teaching them on how to live off grid and on swamp ranch. We have to take time out as us older guys and pass the fun times to this younger generation to keep the outdoors alive for the future. I love cooking outdoors like this as well. Be Bless and have a great week.

[@chyna-kareem4053]

I luv how u talk with such honor and respect for your grandfather

[@danhartman9087]

Man O Man - what a great video. It reminds me of some similar times back in mid 70s in deep woods central Florida (all built up now - St Cloud/Kissimmee area) when I was in late teens/early twenties. I had the privilege of doing some of this with two old black men I used to work with. They would forage wild food exactly like this and serve it at our annual company picnic. I'll always cherish those memories- and the chow! Oh the memories! Thank you for this!!!!!

[@benjamingrobler5839]

[@rabbithomesteading3797]

Hey Rob, 2:30 The phone works but if you want to make it easier.. working in feed and grain business, alot of feed bin, hopper bottom trailers, gravity wagon.. have a plexy glass window now. Mainly to check feed level or what not.. you could make one easy your self for that feeder if you can cut a 4ish inch size hole (round or square) or what ever you want really and mount a piece of plexy over it. cosmetically have plexy on inside and with corn would be fine even if you mount it on the "cone" bottom. (edited..I dont know why i thought corn.. but big pellets flow nice too so same thing..) but technically mount it outside so it dont stop the flow but with corn you will be fine. Maybe silicone it too so water dont go in especially if you mount the plexy outside. Pre-drill holes both plexy and feeder and bolt it on using big fender washers on plexy side. But...phone works too. lol Anyways I left my comment hope all is well! :) 7:18 do you have wild grapes? That kinds looks like it maybe a grape vine on the swamp cabbage. I live in MI so not sure on Florida having grapes. research it but if you do have grapes you can put a little oil in your cast iron and deep fry the leaves as a crunchy snack. That does look good! Never heard of swamp cabbage. Very interesting and cool how its cut into pan. We have skunk cabbage.. lol very different. Awesome video I learned some stuff ty! :)

[@JelMain]

We literally said farewell to the old family home in the Welsh Valleys on Friday. It still had the pig rings in the walls, high up. You string the beast up by the rear legs, belly out, and start the cut just before the urinary tract. A blunt-nosed blade and a basin ready to catch the lights and blood, then down to the head and decapitate it with an axe. Next, flay it, removing the ends carefully - a Stanley knife's good - then separate the muscle groups. Stew the head slowly, for stock, while you wash the entrails and salt them for sausage casings. Likewise the skin until you can get it to a tanners. Pork trotters are cooked and picked apart.
