[@ryancasey9185]

Hi Daniel! I hope things are going better. I encourage you to trust in Jesus Christ. God has completely changed my life, showing me that my purpose is found in Him, and that I have no reason to worry because He is in control over every detail, from small to big. 1 Peter 5:7 says "casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you." This verse brings me so much comfort knowing God cares for His children. I really encourage you to trust in Jesus today, because He alone can give you true life and it's amazing! Praying for you Daniel!

[@dehCremus]

I feel you

[@owenpalmer9482]

I actually just said to myself, there is no need to stress about all the chaos and pressure I feel. As long as I get to do this soon and later in life, then why should I ever stress there is way too much beauty in this world.

[@URSoDead2Me]

Great stuff Drew Simms...I am super impressed by the way you did all of this. And it's awesome that you showed us that it's possible to do some solo camping and still able to feed yourself a hearty meal without having to eat freeze dried/vacuum sealed food and/or MREs. You're an inspiration to us all my dude. Stay safe out there and I wish you the best in your travels. It might not sound like much, but in one of your videos where you're snow camping, show us how you clean up your dishes, I'm interested in that.

[@Akash-hu3vb]

This is the first the video i've watched from him and his production quality is hollywood like, Underrated.

[@pinut187]

If its the first video how do you know its underrated. It has loads of views too...

[@dirttdude]

when i was a youngin i was doing exactly this, by my self with my jeep and my dog, had a great time wheeling up to an old miners cabin to spend a couple of nights.... on the first night it dumped at least 12 more inches of snow, i spent a good 6 hours to get 25 feet. and had to abandon my jeep, i had snow shoes but my Pal didn't and he wasn't going to make it so i had to carry him out most of the way. i returned 6 times to try to recover my jeep but eventually had no choice other than to wait till spring, my jeep was never quite the same again, vandals got there before i did in April

[@strietermarinesurvey1415]

That sucks at least you both okay! Frickin vandals burning looting! They don't care

[@corpse74]

I just want to say that Im coming back to this video to place a comment. Whether you see it Drew or not, I still want to share it with you and your fans. I became a fan of yours a while back, on an older account that I regretfully forgot the password to. You see, I was a fighter pilot. Specifically in the Navy. Ever since I was a kid and saw Top Gun I knew what I wanted to do, and I did. On one of our missions in early 2019, I ended up on a mission where my wingman Riot(keeping his name undisclosed other than his call sign) was shot down and his ejection had malfunctioned and ended up dying in the crash. It really screwed me up. My wife, bless her to the moon and back, was understanding and supportive. I wasn't drinking but it really screwed me up and it affected me to the point where I got severely depressed for months. I neglected everyone. I very slowly started doing things, showering, eating, watching KZbin, going back to the gym and spending time with my family. Then thats when I come to you. This video. This video forced me out of the house and back in the wilderness. I used to hunt, fish, hike and go camping all year around. But when I saw this video, I went out traded in my car for Wrangler, got everything I needed and spent 6 months out in the wilderness with my wife living out of the wrangler. It was... amazing. So much so that we actually just got back a few days ago. Drew, thank you. I don't think you would have expected a video like this to affect someone like me so much, but it did. It made me realize what I had. What I was ultimately looking for, and most of all... a chance to forgive myself for Riot and to stop blaming myself because ultimately at the end of the day, there was truly nothing I could have done. This trip I took with my wife that last 11 months could've gone really bad or really good. But it made us so much closer, brought us to a new level. She's from Canada and we moved here temporarily to take another trip. We leave in a month, after Christmas. The trip did so much for us, I finally opened up to her about Riot and other missions that had affected me and she opened up to me too, it was definitely a wild ride but one we both clearly needed. I realized so much there and I truly believe I owe you all of my success with my mental health over the course of the last year. Thank you, Drew. One day, I hope to meet you, hope to have you meet my wife and thank you.

Your skills in photography and film making paid off. The quality of your videos is outstanding. I also like the music you chose for the underscore: it really relaxes me with those scenic shots. When the bird rested on you hand, it reminded me of Disney's "Song of the South". Perhaps the bird saw your drone and figured that the drone seemed to think that you were safe so it felt safe resting on your hand.
