I’m old and crippled. I love watching you two adventurers Everything you do brings us into your adventure with your filmmaking and the way you interact with us, the audience, and how you interact with each other. Partners, lovers and great companions. Thank you for bringing your adventures to us on a regular basis. You bring a bit of excitement into my life and I’m so grateful.

[@leannekenyoung]

I feel exactly the same way! I wish I had been able to do things like this in my younger years and I tried my best with two young girls to bring as much adventure into the great outdoors that a single mom is capable of but I sure would have loved to have had a companion and lover to share in all the heavy lifting because oh the adventures we would have had! Now I’m happy to just have a wonderful husband that shares in daily life and takes such amazing care of me! It’s so much fun to watch your videos!! ❤️❤️🙏🏻🥰🇨🇦

My husband and I have been married for over 51 years. Most of our free time has been spent in a boat or out on the ice. My husband has some health issues which have kept us from fishing the past couple years. We will miss it greatly, but thankful for all the memories But we sure have the great memories, and have eaten many a walleye together. I'm so happy to see couples younger than us enjoy this kind of life, even the Yahtzee games. We also enjoyed cribbage.

Hell here in north western Ont. CANADA WE drive our 4x4 pickups 7 miles on the ice on the largest of the great lakes. To ice fish for lake trout an fresh water salmon hearing walleye

[@georgejulien3286]

What’s to be scared of? It’s the middle of winter in alaska.

[@Megan2161]

If there is moving water under the ice it can cause the ice to be thin. On some lakes near us the ice can be 14 inches thick and if you walk 5 feet away it can be 4 inches thick. It is always best to be careful

Denali is one of the most majestic mountains I've ever seen in my life. I spent my first years in Boulder and later in my teens I climbed at the base of the Swiss Alps. I've seen the Appalachian mountains as well as many other mountains across the world and honestly nothing compares to that time of year with Denali as your view. Just gorgeous. The end was hysterical! Thanks for the chuckle!

Tip about that lantern case. If you do not have it snapped in EXACTLY SECURELY, the bottom will drop out with the lantern and you'll be replacing globes on a regular basis. I purchased a new lantern in such a case and the first thing that happened when it was opened was the bottom dropping out and the globe breaking. The best lantern cases Coleman ever made were the yellow clam shell types that can only be found on eBay. Even if the lantern rolls around in that thing, they will not break.

A helpful tip when an elderly dog has trouble getting up ,and even walking. Put a towel under their tummy and gently lift until they are standing, assist them for a couple of steps in case they fall over or even for a short 'walkies' or until they can walk on their own. Another tip cut up a fleece jumper and stitch inside their dog coats for extra warmth It is so obvious the care you show your doggy family and all your animals and the empathy that you both have for everything around you.
