Always enjoyed watching Fred Trost. I still use recipes on a regular basis that I got from him over 40 years ago. Thanks Zack for sharing such fond memories!

[@Michigan-Outdoors]

Our pleasure!

[@Charlie-wg2uc]

These videos bring back so many memories. That you hope to see you again one day Fred my friend

[@chavezychavez323]

Thanks Zach! I miss watching your Dad. My favorite tv host of all time!

[@jefffisher5299]

Fred was awesome. He never took himself too seriously. like the time when he pulled the camper and ripped off the poop pipe or the time he got his truck stuck in the snow when he had the 4 wheel drive. He was more of an entertainer than an outdoorsman. Some people thar he had on the show was for pure entertainment. and everyone knew it. Zach, if you can find the footage of him getting his truck stuck in the snow in 4 wheel drive. thatd be great if you could post it. my mother and I still laugh at that. I miss Fred

[@Michigan-Outdoors]

I will try to locate. I did locate the raw tape and might post some of that.

[@bradr2142]

Man I live in Minnesota and wish we had a guy like him doing hunting stories. This is great. I can't say enough about this .

[@chillymoe0331]

The opener eh? Looks like a good time...

[@Michigan-Outdoors]

It is, to me there is no such a thing as a bad time outdoors, It's a great place to be!

[@jeffgootjes8418]

A lot of good memories watching Fred every Thursday evening.

[@Glikens11]

Thank you for sharing this Zack! Your dad's show was my favorite growing up, I was only 6 years old when this show was aired. I always looked forward to watching his show though as crazy as that sounds. Something about your dad just made him feel like you were watching a family member. I was very disappointed hearing about him passing but i'm glad you are keeping his legacy on. In the wind hes still alive!

[@Michigan-Outdoors]

Thanks Greg, I always am happy to hear the positive impacts my father had on people,, thanks for sharing.

Used to watch in Canada I think it was Thursday nights.

[@Michigan-Outdoors]

Yes, first airing was Thursday Nights, Prime time for many Decades!

[@MLY73]

MOD still the same now… the host still can’t kill anything unless someone else puts them on the X…😂🤷‍♂️

[@adventurerhoades]

Nice memory. We are in Fife Lake. Happy Thanksgiving

[@donjohnson4822]

Live in Alabama now but grew up in Wexford County. Spent many a day in the woods chasing deer. The good ole days

[@COPPERMOUNTAINCOINS.]

Wexford county, the bear, deer and beer make for some of Michigans best hunting.

[@travissmith-wz5nc]

You still go out zach??

[@raymondcava4669]

Your land is my land public land😂

[@mike81399]

👍

[@normankaster917]

I wish I could find a green tent like that... I've never seen one like that before, anyone know the name of the manufacturer.

[@Michigan-Outdoors]

It was called a Pumpkin Tent, I wished we had kept it. I have no other information. The only thing I have seen latently that looks close, are the Meditation Tent Retreat Ones, but I doubt they are set up for camping.
