    Hey Brook, you’ll probably never read this comment since there’s just so many, but I needed to tell you how much you have impacted my life and soul. I’ve only been watching you for a few days but there’s no doubt God led me to your channel. I’ve been in such a depression!!! My family became homeless in the middle of July. We live in southern Maine. We camped in a tent on a farm until we bought a camper and we’re in that until a month ago. I was laid off from my job the end of October. We’ve been living with my sister in law since. We have some things going on next month that will be making life better for us but it’s been hard since then. You have truly been my inspiration and joy. You have reminded me to be thankful for the little things. I’ve also been so thankful for your quiet time. Those times in your videos were you don’t talk at all!!! When there’s no need for talk!!! Just to live in the moment and enjoy the peace of nature. And the beautiful gifts of this beautiful earth that God has given us. You are me in another life. A life 30 years ago and with good bones. I’m 47 but am the youngest of 10. I have many birth defects. Basically crooked bones. So there’s so much pain. I could go on and on forever with you but I just wanted you to know that you have touched my life so deeply and just keep doing what you’re doing!!! I’m sure you are an inspiration to so many. With many thanks, your new friend Elaina!!

      Elaina: Dear lady, I am so sorry. I am 62 and disabled. Pain is just a part of my daily life too. I had a bad time in February and before I was taken into the ambulance I died and found myself standing in the sky. I felt the wonderful , undescribable love of Jesus. God is real and He loves you more than you ever loved anyone. Being back here was an adjustment for me but now, no matter what happens in my life I know his love is enough.We are just passing through this world and heaven is going to be so great! God is so real. Pray, repent and have faith. He will care for you. God bless you. I'm praying for you and your family 💞 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me ". Phiippians 4:13🙏🙏🙏🙏

    "This is what this girl needed - badly"
    Oh, I hear you. This 72 yr old guy has been laid up for over a year with arthritis. The only hiking I could manage was to the end of the driveway & back for the mail. Then a little over a month ago I had hip replacement surgery. I've started walking again - maybe only a mile or two at a time - but every time - every goddamned time - I find myself sobbing with joy. Just feeling the sun on my face again, hearing the wind and running water, smelling the dead leaves - tears of relief, happiness, nostalgia, whatever, running down my face...
    It's what I needed, too. Badly.

      I empathize with you. I had a knee replacement 5 years ago but 3 years ago I realized a hip replacement was imminent. Stupidly I tried to postpone it until fall so I could "enjoy" the summer. By August the pain was so intense I felt suicidal. After regaining my senses and having the surgery I was able to walk again. Many younger people are unable to appreciate how totally disabling osteoarthritis can be. It can often be not just a "little stiffness" when you get out of bed but a constant intense pain that no medication or PT can alleviate. I was an Army infantryman in Nam and also enjoyed camping, fishing and almost all outdoor adventures. Although I cannot engage in all those wonderful outdoor activities I can again take part to some degree. You and I should enjoy to the greatest extent possible. Brooke and Dave help us to regain the real and vicarious pleasures of the wonderful outdoor life.

    I decided back in March that I didn't want to lose my taste and smell, or maybe even die. That's why I got fully vaccinated as soon as possible. I stood in line for 2 1/2 hours to get the first shot. Back in my youth I waited longer for concert tickets. Seemed like a small price to pay for peace of mind. I do hope that if you aren't vaccinated you will decide to remedy that as soon as possible. Medical guidance indicates that natural immunity doesn't last as long as vaccination. The good news is that natural immunity in combination with vaccination conveys the best resistance of all to the disease. I wish you a speedy and complete recovery. Happy Birthday and many more.

      Go Girl! You can do it. 78 year old single woman farmer, I’ve lived alone all my life….first in wilderness, now in very rural High Desert California. I built everything on my property and still do so. As long as something is under 60 pounds, I can lift it….if I can’t I look for a way to make it work without having to ask for help.
      What I did was to build 10x12 cottages. Anything that size doesn’t need a permit here. Each little cottage is task specific…one a bedroom, one a shower which is basically a greenhouse type structure, one a kitchen, one a bathroom. Something that size is easy to tackle even for a small woman.
      Even though living this life keeps you in shape, still, the muscles used are task specific….one needs to keep working out so all the body is toned. I have a total gym, a stair climber, a stationary bike plus I do Tai Chi and work out with escrima sticks. While I am watching a movie, I am working out, or using hand weights.

    Wonderful video Brooke, a joy to watch and hear, Da Wolf's snoring was funny. Early Happy Birthday, the world is better place because you're here.
    Awww Big Dave came to make sure his woman was safe, good man. That's the way it works in a good marriage, drop everything and be ready to backup the other no matter how capable and strong they may be. I'm so glad you are getting over the bug, another channel I watch, (Appalachia's Homestead with Patara) the family was hit hard with it but is recovering.

    Hi Brook, you are amazing! I really enjoy watching you. Happy Birthday~51 now. You could have fooled me. You seem so much younger. I love your dog. She reminds me of my dog that I had so many years ago. I look forward to being with him again in Heaven. He was the best dog ever. I hope you enjoy your cabin. You did such a great job. I love it. I hope the covid didn't leave you without smell and taste. Some people don't get that back. Such a shame. I had covid just about the time you had it and didn't lose smell or taste. Things didn't taste good, but I did get over it. I nearly lost my husband to covid. He is well now, thank God. We are so grateful for each day. God brought us closer to Him and each other so that is a blessing. Take care Girl in the Woods!

    Just about a couple of days ago I watched a gentleman who taught so much about building a cabin all by him himself. I was so enthusiastic about the video that I thought of watching for more and then only I stumbled upon your video of building this cabin .... he is the guy who came to check out you !! wow God have really made you both for each other !! You both are so unique and super amazing two individuals . I wish we could go out like this . There are very beautiful and wonderful places in my country too . But unfortunately I don’t have the freedom or the necessary capabilities at least to go camping with my boys . My boys do tell they will once grow will take me instead 😊🥰 . Hopefully I hope that someday comes . We have been indoors for almost 3 years. First year due to the Easter blast happened in my country and then afterwards due to covid 19 . We haven’t been to a beach or park all this time...... I love how you see and what is more luxurious in this world and life of ours. With the basics , rations and some bit of compromising and you could live the most happiest life with no stress and invincible weight .... sending lotsa blessings all the way from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰. Stay safe and God bless 🙏🏻
