Agreed. Just found his channel last month. Best channel on youtube in my opinion!

absolutely! he also has the best crock pot videos on YT 😋 i get so hungry after watching!

Bushcrafting level Steve. My dad taught me how to light a fire with a bow and stick for cub scouts when I was 11. However, he always started his fire with white gas and said, "A scout comes prepared."

Love the intro theme❤️. But, there is another song when I hear it Foresty comes to mind... Oh, there's a river that winds on forever I'm gonna see where it leads Oh, there's a mountain that no man has mounted I'm gonna stand on the peak Out there's a land that time don't command Wanna be the first to arrive No time for ponderin' why I'm-a wanderin' Not while we're both still alive To the ends of the earth, would you follow me There's a world that was meant for our eyes to see To the ends of the earth, would you follow me To The Ends Of The Earth Yep
