U.P. Road Trip with Bushradical- Speaking, Knife Tours, & 20 yrs. of Marriage

Join Dave Whipple and I as we travel to Tomahawk, Wisconsin for a speaking event at Treehaven and make some fun stops along the way as we head west across the U.P. in Michigan. Along the way we stop at Bark River Knives and Knives Ship Free as well as just have fun on the road. Our 20 years of marriage is on full display here... LOL
The scenery was great and we ALWAYS love a road trip. Hope you enjoy it too!

My family and I have been to Mackinaw many throughout the years. It's so cool to recognize all the familiar places and scenery..the bridge..though with Brooke and Dave in the video. My kids loved Mackinaw! It's truly a historical great visit and seems to always take me back in time. The Great lakes of Michigan and Superior are awesome. Great job Brooke and Dave! Thanks for the trip down memory lane.😊

Nice to see it all again. My wife and I purchased a Ma & Pa motel in St .Ignace in 1970 and ran it 4 years then sold it. It was just past the airport in an area called Evergreen shores back then. I was 23 then, now 75.

[@kenstrampe7609]

Brook you and Bushy are a perfect couple, you support each other and have fun kidding one another. i laughed so hard at the beginning of this video, it reminded me of most road trips we took as a family. you guys are awesome and keep up the hard work that you two are doing educating and teaching people about the outdoors, thank you.

[@oldgriz816]

Don't you just love the way city folks look at you when you say that?

[@ldsphotodude49]

I love you guys too. but my wife and I got 23 more years on you. and six children. I think some of my kids are your age or older. All my kids are outdoors people and camp and fish and hunt. We spent all our recreating time up in the Adirondacks. So it was good to hear Dave talk about his childhood in the woods with his family. Thanks for another great video Brooke and Dave you're awesome. I'm sorry I didn't congratulate you two. Suffice it to say I have the utmost respect for you and Dave.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Wow congrats to you and your wife!

[@ldsphotodude49]
