Thanks for posting this, Dave. We love all your vlogs down here in California. Here in my household we devour the vlogs you and Brooke create, so helpful and inspiring.

[@Bushradical]

Yeah, Lonnie is Solid on bushcraft and survival. !!

[@slynkylynx]

We need more people like Connie and Lonnie, Brooke and Dave. 💪🙏

[@oldquestant6-238]

I'm really developing an appreciation for you and your wife. Especially after this visit with Lonnie and Connie. As knowledgeable as you two are, you still have the restraint and wisdom to ask a question and then actually stay quiet and actually listen to the answer. Many do not ! Lookin' forward to more from you both.

[@Bushradical]

Thanks OQ. We had great time with Lonnie and Connie. They're super nice folks.

[@zRockin1]

Hi Dave and Brooke, it's so awesome that the four of you got to meet in person and spend some time together. Rock On!

[@Bushradical]

Me too. Cool folks

[@michaelbrunner6654]

Bet that was a great visit love Lonnie's methodical and slow down when teaching things on video that you don't have to keep rewinding to catch things. Also enjoyed watch you and Brook on alone. You guys are awesome.

[@Bushradical]

Thanks NWR!

[@tomm2812]

Took my family of 6 to Alaska 20 or so years ago for a 6 week camping tour. Loved it. Hope to return. I met you both (Dave and Brooke) at Michigan Bushcraft this past spring. Mayhaps someday meet Lonnie & Connie. Best

[@Bushradical]

Hey Tom, That gathering was a good time. We both had a great time

[@brainclerk4431]

Lonnie is an awesome individual and a mind of information . for some unknown reason i stopped getting his posts , but thanks to you Bushradical im back on it !

[@Bushradical]

Thanks Brian

[@Jackalopestravels]

How cool is this? Lonnie is incredibly knowledgeable and practical in what he teaches. A guy who has obviously thought things through.

[@Bushradical]

Oh yeah, Lonnie is a level headed guy. Awesome people

[@adamwest5097]

I would absolutely love to meet Lonnie and Connie. They just seem like great folks and I really enjoy their videos.

[@cherylt8590]

I love seconds,so was good to see more on Lonnie and Connie lol ty for sharing this 👍 😆😊...

[@Bushradical]

Thanks

[@HowtoAlaska]

Just stumbled on your channel, subbed... I can attest to Lonnie’s advice he’s pretty good in a pinch. I still need to get him to collaborate with me.

[@Bushradical]

Thanks for the sub! Lonnie and Connie were great folks to visit with

[@mikecole1624]

Great video with Far North. Cool to see some of my favorite youtubers in one video! I bet Lonnie is full of knowledge, skills, and amazing stories.

[@Bushradical]

Oh yeah, Lonnie seems to be a guy who's tried everything and figured out how to make it work.....and that what its all about...results.

[@gosmoothgolight7567]

Great "second look" at this wonderful couple! Lonnie does such an awesome job of describing the "S.T.O.P." system. Once you know you've slightly missed your way, Sit down, Think about your surroundings, Observe/inventory what you have "on your person"(lol) ... and Plan your next move. Thanks, Dave ... I'm in the UP near the Big Spring :) Later ... God Bless

[@Bushradical]

Ive never seen that spring....it looks awesome

[@gosmoothgolight7567]

Kitch-iti-kipi ... t's 40 feet deep and very clear. Just west of Manistique in Palms Book state park. 10,000 gallons a minute! Huge Brown Trout in it. Nice place to visit :)

[@randygarmon7382]

Great video Dave. I'm a fan of Lonnie & Connie as well and your right I don't think she gets the credit she deserves for her camera work. Just a cool video, thanks for sharing!

[@Bushradical]

Connie is an awesome lady. Great folks

[@DFDuck55]

Excellent advice. Don't panic, stay calm. Panicking and freaking out never helped any situation.

[@Bushradical]

Right on. Thanks Duck

[@KillingerUSA]

Love your videos Dave. You know that. Cant help to wonder why the community goes straight to survival? Most important bushcraft skill? Stay calm. When did bushcraft become survival? Why is every outing in the woods a "survival" scenario? Man, zaps all the fun out of bushcraft. Keep the good stuff coming man!

[@Bushradical]

Good question K. I may do a video on that very thought. I have a lot I would like to say but instead of typing it I'll save it for its own vid.

[@longjohn2155]

I enjoyed this, good to see two of my favorite channels togetther. God bless :-)

@@Bushradical Does the season open before you leave? MInd you I don't know how you would be able to load it all into your little car. You and Brooke could do a couples hunt with Lonnie and Connie, could make for interesting watching.

Moose opens sept 1st here.

[@josephkerley363]

Nice to see you visit Far North folks ... I watch his stuff as well. The neat thing is, you were out and about enjoying life in this beautiful place we call Alaska. As I tell my friends outside, In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Then he took all the left over good stuff, put it together and called it Alaska. Maybe not King James version, but close to it, revised ... 😎

Bushradical hey Dave I thought you knew will Doug and Stacy that's their name of their KZbin channel and there's also another one that would actually help your wife out with her chickens it's called Becky's Homestead I trust her word on chickens these are all good people that I'm telling you about check out their channels and then you'll see what I'm talking about and there's also another one Stoney Ridge farmer

[@VicsYard]

Agree! Awesome stuff!!!! Vic

[@Bushradical]

Thanks Vic

[@robertweldon7909]

Lonnie is oh so right. In a survival situation your mental condition is number one, What I call "No Stinking Thinking". The first rule of survival is rather trite, but true; "JUST DON'T DIE", but within that rule are several things that allow you to do just that. 1 No stinking thinking. If you panic, or in any way freak out, you endanger yourself greatly. If there are others with you your mental condition can effects others too. 2. What do you need to do, right now to BETTER your situation. Lonnie said the same thing, his way, and in the same order. 3. gather resources 4 take steps to self rescue, This is the tough part, where previously gained skill and knowledge come into play. I would like to meet Lonnie, I think we would have some great discussion. ;-)

[@alrainey8772]

I'm watching this video thinking about that guy in the news recently who lived back in the bush in Alaska that had a fire and got into a bad spot. He said next time he may build two places in case one burns down. When you live twenty miles away from your neighbor, you better be able to extract your infected tooth with an ice skate blade after drinking a fifth of whiskey.

[@soldtobediers]

Here's Y'all an Eskimo's method against that of a raiding Lobo Wolf, as told by Paul Harvey... He coats his knife with blood and lets it freeze. Then he adds another coat of blood and then another. As each coat freezes, he adds another smear of blood until the blade is covered over by layers of frozen blood. Then he buries the knife---blade up---in the frozen tundra. The wolf catches the scent of fresh blood and begins to lick it. He licks it more feverishly until the blade is bare. then he keeps on licking harder. Because of the cold, he never notices the pain of the blade on his tongue. His craving for the taste of blood is so great that he licks the blade until he bleeds to death, swallowing his own life. -73019

Hey Dave, licked any good axes lately?😂👍🏻

[@Bushradical]

Yes, I have a nice true temper Dayton pattern here in AK that I've done some work to

[@nickturner2606]

Just finished an old Elwell military pattern from 1943 myself. It’s in excellent condition with no poll damage and the edge looks untouched. I put it on a slim 36 and it balances well. It scales at 4lb 10oz but it feels very wieldy on the slim haft. It belongs as a pair with a shovel on the side of a military vehicle but it’d serve in the woods or firewood duty fairly capably I suppose. Ain’t licked it-yet! Do you suppose this axe licking might become a thing? Can just see the headline “Stars Risk All For Their Axe Habit” 😂😂 you heard it first here Dave, you may have started something big!👍🏻😂

[@ww98647]

You said, 'I would have like to have shot more on film'. You need to use the correct terminology, there is no film in your camera. Nor do you have a 'video tape' in your camera as we once did. You are shooting a 'video' which is neither film or video tape.
