Here’s one link to the foraging for firewood concern: www.blm.gov/programs/natural-resources/forests-and-woodlands/forest-product-permits Each of us have an obligation to “know before you go” when it comes to adventuring outdoors. Actually, that probably applies to just about anything one decides to do. In my view, expecting someone else to warn us of all the possibilities associated with adventuring is unreasonable. Chad, thanks for always creating interesting content relevant to the interests of so many. “Keep on Truckin’” the way you do.

I'm caught up in the hectic life of day-to-day, with job, kids, and everything. These videos make me remember how important the simple things in life are, and how to appreciate them again. Everything you do is basic, from living, cooking, keeping warm and enjoying nature. These are things I can appreciate, and it gives me a well needed break from the fast pace of life I'm normally experiencing. Thank you for this gift.
