The Wooded Beardsman surely that's Primitive Technology insulation. So the title should of read "insulting PRIMITIVE TECHNOLOGY INSULATION " Keep your daddy proud of you.
Pretty much left my entire family in my dust; they are all negative and only care about using people for money and weed; they were not adding anything positive to my life or my son's life; so we moved on and we are much happier for it.
Sounds like another cdn father trying to prep his kid for the nhl. Yeah some smaller kids make it with a good work ethic, but gotta have the talent . As for the question, had to write off an old home town friend who was just getting too much. Stopped taking his calls , and soon after he entered hospital and died a month later, at age 50, of level 4 cirrhosis . Talking to a mutual friend afterward ,turns out the guy was drinking 2 litres of hard liquor a day just to function. Knew he was a big boozer but never heard of that kind of drinking from him . He was a class A bs'er , and talking to him was becoming a waste of time.Oh yeah he died owing money . Never paid his school loans which had amassed to near $100K , owed the mto like $15K for fines /tickets and god knows what else. On the other hand been written off by my brother who lives in the states and fancies turning his daughters into some super success stories. Sending them to ivy league schools at a rate of $50k USD /yr /kid. And he's no millionaire. Had not spoke to him in over 10 yrs. Guess i wasn't a big enough success for him. That's the ugly side of this pushing kids to greater heights
I'm a single father of a 7 years old boy, we see your videos together all the time, your son reminds me my kid a lot, we do a bunch of stuff together like you do and I love that. Thank you so much for your good advices all the time, I love when you add those kind of talks in your videos, those are my fave ones.
I love seeing how hard the kids work right next to you. Great parenting. As a former football coach nothing warms my heart more than seeing kids willing to work hard and parents willing to support them while they do so. Holden, this isn't just about sports-- your life will be better in every way because of this. My hat is off to you and to your dad.
this is such a deep message at the end, its so true how kids will only go play video games or watch tv rather then go outside and play, doing all those things even lifting at such a young age will make him excel WAY BEYOND his years compared to any other kids his age. this my friend you are doing such good parenting and something I want to do when I have a kid. way to go here!
We are battling the constant battle of electronics here as well. Making some headway with the youngest, but the older two are established in their ways. Middle kid is starting to see the light - not provided by a screen- as I drag her along to do more fun things (usually involves wheels and go fast) I just fear that the what looks to be a heavy winter coming, I am going to lose headway with them. Even dragging them out to go sledding is a battle.
Was thinking that you burned a lot of wood you could have used in your wood stove, at very least for kindling? Didn't make sense to me to just burn it all when it could be used for heat/ starting the fire?
It's too low density, burns too fast, makes a mess. The wood stove is so small, it would take more to feed, process, that it would be worth. Our wood is so well seasoned, that it burns well, hot, and long. Yes, we could have saved back some kindling for stater, but we have a lot.
It is hard to watch a resource being used in such a manner. Living in suburbia and being an age where I am not going to be cutting my own firewood seeing fuel torched like that flies in the face of my frugal nature. It must be hard for folks that live in areas where there is no hard wood to watch that also. I like that Chris told us that they get firewood for free from arborists. In my area the arborists are all firewood purveyors as well. It is nice that Chris has a good resource. Chris' comment is also appropriate. The softwood burns so quickly that it forces you to feed the stove frequently. Those who must burn softwoods get used to that. We who are spoiled with hardwoods have a hard time using softwoods. Either they frustrate us or we get irresponsible softwood. Hardwood is much easier to maintain a good combustion efficiency. I am also minded of a discussion Chris had in season 1 about returning the resource and good forest stewardship. Even if the softwood was the only firewood source there is such a plethora that the stewardship outweighs the seeming waste.
Finally, more Kevin in the videos. The true star of the Wooded Beardsman channel. Good Job Holden! Way to push yourself. Hard work and effort will always pay off even if it is not readily apparent.
I enjoyed your philosophy about leaving people behind and I agree with you. It doesn't mean you dislike them, it just means you're not going to hold yourself back.
Nice to see Holden putting in the effort, and getting success from the hard work. That type of feedback carries over into other things and life in general. I can see why you're proud of him. That was the most impressive part of the video.
Leaving people behind is a part of life, as you grow and develop as a person you need different things from different people. Everyone you meet helps form who you are. Love the videos, great work Holden, keep it up.
Forced to leave behind? Tons of people over the years. If your goal is to grow and develop as a person and a creator, leaving people behind is inevitable. No hard feelings or anything. It's the way life goes.
@@TheWoodedBeardsman I'd like to learn more to be honest. because I would never do something like that. All the people I know and that I'm thriving with, have been my friends for 20 years ( I'm 25) and I've known them in kindergarten. we don't always do things together but we never left anybody behind. and I would never even try to think about it.
You should feel very blessed that your your son has the ambition and will to better himself through your teaching and guidance. Nothing in your life comes easy you have to work hard for anything. This is excellent prep for success in adulthood. Kudos to you and your wife for teaching your kids that.
Your a good dad and husband, and a great example for the ones that use electronic babysitters for parenting. I'm happy I have you as a good example of what our future kids and parents need to see. Great vid. And beautiful family you have. Hope to meet you one day. Keep up the good work.
Leaving people behind if they bring you down, there’s nothing wrong with that and can prove to be very beneficial. That’s an important lesson for everyone...even when we get older it can be a very good idea. It also teaches people to think for themselves and not follow the crowd. Great video.
And if he continues on this path his entire world will become one without failure only temporary set backs due to his understanding of perseverance and dedication!!! Great job to you both!!!
I love this video! Its like you had me in mind when you said what u did at the end. I have struggled with wanting acceptance from ppl for years, but im finally able to just let the ones who dont accept me walk out the door. Example: a guy i thought was a cool guy was tellin people how much of an "inconvenience" it was to go fishing with me because of my being in a wheelchair and unable to go to some of the places he goes. I quit asking if he wanted to go and found 3 other people who were happy to go with me. I had to leave him behind to find the people who actually wanted to be in my life. And i love how you're not letting Holden fall into the mold that most kids today have gotten trapped into. Tell him to never stop pushing towards his dreams. But no matter how long of a break he takes its never too long to start again. I lifted weights from jr high thru highschool and stopped when i graduated, and ending up putting 200 pounds on. I started goin to the gym again and im down 70 pounds, and today i even bench pressed 225 lbs which was the heaviest i ever lifted in highschool so i tied it. Keep up the good work to both of u. To Holden, treasure these life lessons, id give my life to hear just one more from my dad (who passed in may). And to chris, you could literally change the channel to nothin but your end of the video philosophy talks and id still watch, although im glad you do more lol.
I am 47, I have left my fair share of people behind in my life, and may leave some in the future. People grow together, and sometimes people grow apart. Change is good for everybody every now and then. Love your channel Chris! And you knocked it out of the park with your Woodobo spice! Bought a three-pack from Fowler's website and I am beyond happy!
Wow good on you holding it is so important for children to have balance and structure and I'm a little jealous because you got such a great family that supports what you want to do and they're not forcing you to do anything Holden if you ever read any of these comments please know that me personally I am very proud of you we watched you grown over the past couple years now and you're really coming quite the little man and soon you'll be the big man but you really got to take your parent advice because they are extremely smart people. Very proud of you very proud of you Holdin!
Keep it up budy!! You are killing it!! This was so inspirational to see you as a father finding out a solution to a problem and letting Holden change and decide himself.
Couldn't agree more about leaving folks behind. I had to leave behind buddies that I had known since high school, because my interests/beliefs changed, and they were still stuck in their late teen activities/ mentality, and we were in our 40's. I miss them at times, but new friends came along and life went on. Holden rocks! Growing up into a young man with a proper mindset, thanks to the inspiration/direction/love of his father! As always, stay safe.
@@sonjawright518 , oh there's a bazillion other things it's good for, but he has his pond series,, that's only why I mentioned it. I know this was filmed months ago, but I doubt it'll ever be his last fire. ;)
I don’t know why, but I’m so frickin proud of Holden! I literally had images of him in college looking like a tank dominating the competition! I think it’s awesome that he’s learning the core values of being a dominant figure at such an early age. He also has one of the greatest influencers including outside of TH-cam guiding him!!
Some people will always hold you back. It’s down to us to make the decision to leave them behind. Life is about doing what you love the most and what makes you happy. My daughter is limited to how long she has her phone or laptop for every hour she study’s she get 10 minutes on her phone. It’s great to see his hard work is paying off for him👍 keep up the great work
Keep it up holden, push yourself and be a leader for the other kids who don't have parents with the values that yours do. Good job Mr. And Mrs. Beard 😎
Very important conversation to have with children of that age, they need to learn that people change as time goes on and people you used to spend so much time with have become acquaintances. Holden, keep up the good work and don't stop because it's difficult, push through it and embrace the suck.
A. i am envious of Holden and your relationship. I screwed up and now don't have that. B. I am amazed at his growth. he is not the biggest or fastest kid, but he is the kid that works the hardest. I.E. not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog!!! C. Your family structure is another thing i would like to have. and because of my choice in a reproductive partner was flawed or skewed, i can not obtain it. I said all that to say I love your channel. all of it. cabin to camping. primitive to primal. I greatly enjoy watching you do what I was not able to do! Thank you!
I think that the battle of electronics has been lost, unfortunately. We are too far down that path. Getting outdoors was my favorite thing to do as a child. And it continues to be my favorite activity to this day. I have loved and will always love to do all the same things that you do on this channel. I think that the talk at the end of the video had a lot of value in it, and your concept makes total sense to me. Both you and Holden keep up the excellent work.
Full stop! I'm really thankful for these talks. Please do more. You have come through a lot and came on top of it. That is such an inspiration. Holden: Great job! Putting in the effort is worth it, as you already know. Games are great, they help relax and you can learn a lot from them. But in the end they are just tools. You have to know the limits, understand and realize when it is no longer helping you, but dragging you back. That applies to everything and everyone though. Sometimes you need to leave things or people behind, so you can grow and evolve in a better version of yourself. It is not about pushing those things or people away from you. It is about You pushing yourself so far ahead, that they end up far behind you in the dust. I wish you good luck in your efforts, get yourself the life you will love to live, because you deserve it.
This video was amazing. Cleaning up not only around the cabin but encouraging words about leaving people and change. Holden keep it up man, doing great!
Seeing this video a good bit after it was posted and so glad I watched thru to the end and your talk. First off congrats to Holden on his accomplishments, secondly listening to you talk made me realize I've been doing this over the past year and finally got tired of trying to make others happy waiting for them. I've taken control of my life and literally and figuratively am also leaving people behind to better and enrich my own life and that of my 3 kids. Thanks for posting the videos and working my way thru all of your series and your brothers channel as well!
Great advice. Some people are just in our lives for a season. Others are long term. Some...we need to run from!! Discernment is needed. Better to learn this early on in life. You have a lovely family...thanks for sharing your life and adventures. It's obvious you are a proud of your son. He is blessed with a dad who cares so much. What a great cabin too!!
Liked the take on leaving people behind. While I never looked at it that way it is very evident that it is inevitable. Great parental coaching for Holden. Congrats Holden on achieving 1st place and more importantly seeing this possibility is a life long lesson. Thanks for sharing this as I can truly relate.
Encouragement is the key. Good job on you encouraging and Holden being in encouraged and excepting a challenge, your hard work will pay off. Keep at it and stay active in the outdoors hunting, fishing, mushrooming and trapping.
Excellent advice on leaving people behind and getting rid of dead weight. I’ve had great success with eliminating people that were doing figure eights.
Dude I'm so proud of Holden!!! what a stud! He's such a good kid, well done Chris. To the philosophy of "Leave them behind" I think there are levels to it...sometimes you have to cut it at the root and sometimes you have to rise above it and not let it distract you..."there's always two sides to a coin" :)
Really enjoyed your ideas about leaving people behind and finding new groups to carry out your interests with. It’s something that I have been doing lately myself and it’s nourishing to build new relationships and friendships. Hello from the UK 🇬🇧
Great parenting skills. Holden great job! My sons 13 and 14 are into wrestling, football and basketball. They push hard to be better. I push them but not in a negative way. Your doing a great job teaching him life lessons.
Full Stop! Great video, I've had to leave a lot of people behind over the last year. Got off drugs, got back to work, dropped over 20lbs this year, and trying to start hunting. Tell your son to keep up the good work, anything is possible if you put your mind to it!
Congrats Holden on the first and second place. I completely agree with you on having to leave people behing as your intrests change. I've had to leave a few friends behind over the years as our intrests change so I completely understand and agree with everything you said.
Man Chris ever since you started your channel I really have been one of your number one cheerleaders as in trying to promote the channel and share it and comment as much as I can I just think you have come Leaps and Bounds with your camera work and your content I just want to take this opportunity to thank you so much man we were at least I think the majority of the people that watch this channel really do appreciate how hard you work for us to watch Good contact. Plus you and your family are amazing people. I love this channel pal keep it up loving that the cabin series is coming back oh man I know you got lots of exciting stuff for us down the road and I'll keep cheering you on buddy.
Full stop👍 Glad to be back at the cabin. Like visiting an old friend. Nice job teaching your son that life is hard and you get out what you put in. So many parents are afraid to tech their kids anything now days and cater to their needs and feelings. Your son will be well rounded and ready for life after childhood. Well done.
Well said, it's nature to move on and take people on your journey who want to be with you and its ok for people to pop in and out of your journey as long as they don't distract or block your path.
What you said is very true, after I got married, all my friends still wanted to party and get wasted all the time and my mindset changed to being productive and successful. Now that I have kids I'm glad I made that choice, so I can be a good influence for my girls. I always love to hear your thoughts on life and anything in general. Much love 🤙
As a 29th year high school physics teacher, let me tell you, teaching him that effort yields results, is key to any goal...Holden, sometimes someone else has a little more natural talent, and even after your hard work you may not be the best, but don't that keep you from trying your best every time, it pays off in many ways.
To Holden: Congrats on the progress bud! Keep it up. Remember; it is better to go after Your Best than feel bad for not being The Best. It's all about You. Your goals, Your journey, You! 💪👏
I love the concept of leaving some behind! Great words. We’re always taught not to leave someone behind, but in this instance YES! Keep up the great work Holden, hard work pays off!
Good for you Wooded Beardsman, it's awesome putting your son on the right track. Coming from a background where you live in the city 24/7 but every now and then you head to the country just to relax. Also trying to do something that you seem interested in or love doing, it takes practice and time to get there, so just believe Holden and keep working harder and harder everyday, push yourself more and more and soon it will pay off.
You said it right. We get little things done and set, here and there, but lots of organizing now for the details. It's more planning than work...but we're getting there.
Full stop.. Your right.. Been waiting a while now to see the cabin finished.. I couldn't agree more with your concepts with your little one.. Why aren't there more dad's like you out there (generally speaking).. I'm sure there are several great dads out there.. Without great parents children will never excel past their own expectations and self doubt.. I believe that goes with anyone.. With that kind of teaching Holden's possibilities are endless.. To him I say good job little man! You have great parents that love you to death. You keep at it and focus on what you want in life you'll get it for sure. I don't have to tell you to listen to them cuz you obviously do a good job at that also.. Carry on! ✌
Always love the videos beardsman! It really shows how much work is put into each and every video. As a fellow outdoorsman, I love to see others get the same enjoyment from nature as well. The leaving people behind talk was really eye opening and taught me something about relationships and how to approach them. Proud of holden and his hard work, your a strong and motivational father. Hats off to you man and I hope youtube is feeding you better than those beavers did!
Full stop, amazing Dadding. So great to see such a driven youth. Keep up the great work bud! I can not tell you how much I love your channel. It has it all. Really. Thank you for all you do. And for sharing your journey with us.
Keep up the good work Holden , nice to see a young man put in effort somewhere besides video games . And it made a big difference around the cabin by cleaning up and removing a couple of stumps.
What inspiring words you give to your son, and your viewers! I've been watching your channel now for a whole day, watching this entire build. You're a father figure I never had, and your son is lucky to have a father like you. You also inspire me as well to become a good father when I have kids some day. Though I am a little concerned about the dead lift form of your son, I was a professional weight lifter for 2 years and dead lifts be lifted in such a way that the bar stays in contact with the legs and is finally stretched out with the hips past the shoulder and knees locked, also some slower reps would help him get the form right as well. I understand you maybe don't want to take this advice, I only mean good when I say it. I don't want a child having back problems at 20. It's an inspiration to see such a young child want to get good at something he loves doing. Tschüss
Great video, there is a lot of good sentiment in there! Holden; Keep it up, there are so many people in our world who have no direction in life and it all starts from these early years. So many people dismiss it and think "oh I can do that next year" but here is a simple truth, the longer you wait the harder it gets, so keep up with your goals and dreams now while they are fresh and you have the energy to pursue them, don't feel beholden to people who have different interests. Oh and listen to your parents! You'll understand why when you have kids of your own...
You're awesome man. Great advice and Holden is blessed to have an influence like you. Getting outside is so critical to basic life development and yet it is becoming rare amongst kids today. As a single father of 2 early teens, I'm trying regularly to get them outside. Next time they want to hang out inside and watch TH-cam, I'm going to suggest they check out this video. I'm still catching up as I only found your channel last week.
Hey Holden(sorry if I misspelled your name) people are like filters, and as you grow older and start having new interests or goals the people in your life will filter themselves in and out of your life as needed every person that comes into your life will teach you something, with your down to earth personality and some inner reflection and thoughtful considerations you will identify what each person is there to teach you. Sometimes when you meet people that you like and can/could consider to be a friend, the lesson you learn from them might be learned faster than you want but may be forced to lose that person in your life..don't despair though cause they will be replaced with another good person soon enough..and some people will teach you what you don't want in your life, or what you don't like about some people. The hardest part about knowing about these filters is losing a close friend that you hold dear to your heart..you can always meet the later if you need to have them in your life..but if your observant in your friends and their behaviors then you might find yourself selecting what you want in a friend don't let habits good or bad get in the way of a friendship, that may hold you back from making a good decision for yourself, for example you and a buddy are always hanging out then you meet a girl who you want to spend time with your friend may get jealous of her because you spend more time with her than him..it happens, good friends don't always need your attention and will make you a better person .sorry for the long windedness but I could go on lol but don't want to bore you. If you want a good example of a good friendship your dad and Jeremy are a great example lol, even though they're not always together their friendship is solid and they both have freedoms..
Nice video man! And good on your son. I picked up the weights at 13 for hockey as well and they helped me deal with stress and anger so in a way, they helped teach me life lessons just as much as playing hockey did
That is an awesome way to explain things a youngster, fantastic advice. Holden you are an inspiration to many, you are guaranteed to grow up to be a successful man, follow your dreams and they will come true. Congratulations on your track meet. Dream big young man.
Thank you for the advice! I'm really going to try to incorporate that in my life more! I've done this in life before when I use to party with friends to much and got my life together for my family! Kinda lost track of it with my out door stuff and would like to get back into it again but my new friends have lost interest where I haven't! Great job to your son accomplishments with his track! Hard work pays off! Congratulations!
I enjoy your videos but I especially enjoyed your thoughts at the end of this one. Great parenting 👌💯 and great explaining "leave people behind" it's so applicable in order to move forward. I've heard this before but it really hit home hearing it from you.

this is such a deep message at the end, its so true how kids will only go play video games or watch tv rather then go outside and play, doing all those things even lifting at such a young age will make him excel WAY BEYOND his years compared to any other kids his age. this my friend you are doing such good parenting and something I want to do when I have a kid. way to go here!
Holden you’re a BEAST! Keep up the great work and work ethic.
Great parenting. Especially with limiting the electronics. Well done.
Way to go Holden!!! Leave them in the dust!!! Nice work Papa Beard!!! 🍻👍👍
We are battling the constant battle of electronics here as well. Making some headway with the youngest, but the older two are established in their ways. Middle kid is starting to see the light - not provided by a screen- as I drag her along to do more fun things (usually involves wheels and go fast)
I just fear that the what looks to be a heavy winter coming, I am going to lose headway with them. Even dragging them out to go sledding is a battle.
@@AnythingOutdoorswithSteve Just keep doing it. I think friends is the answer, but you gotta shove all of them outside.
I’m in the same boat with my son, your giving great Dad advice! That’s what this world needs, more great Dads giving great advice!
Congratulations to Holden and he can feel very proud of himself for sure. He has an awesome DAD too .. ..a gift that he will remember forever.
Was thinking that you burned a lot of wood you could have used in your wood stove, at very least for kindling? Didn't make sense to me to just burn it all when it could be used for heat/ starting the fire?
It's too low density, burns too fast, makes a mess. The wood stove is so small, it would take more to feed, process, that it would be worth. Our wood is so well seasoned, that it burns well, hot, and long. Yes, we could have saved back some kindling for stater, but we have a lot.
that was what i am thinking too.
@@jt8433yes, it will back to land nutrient
Dude look out the window, no shortage of wood.LOL

I enjoyed your philosophy about leaving people behind and I agree with you. It doesn't mean you dislike them, it just means you're not going to hold yourself back.
Nice to see Holden putting in the effort, and getting success from the hard work.
That type of feedback carries over into other things and life in general.
I can see why you're proud of him. That was the most impressive part of the video.
He's a hard worker!
Leaving people behind is a part of life, as you grow and develop as a person you need different things from different people. Everyone you meet helps form who you are. Love the videos, great work Holden, keep it up.
Forced to leave behind? Tons of people over the years. If your goal is to grow and develop as a person and a creator, leaving people behind is inevitable. No hard feelings or anything. It's the way life goes.
Well said. Different folks surround you as you develop.
@@TheWoodedBeardsman I hope so. I'm selling my home to live a dream. Moving to a different State to retire leaving everyone behind.

I love this video! Its like you had me in mind when you said what u did at the end. I have struggled with wanting acceptance from ppl for years, but im finally able to just let the ones who dont accept me walk out the door. Example: a guy i thought was a cool guy was tellin people how much of an "inconvenience" it was to go fishing with me because of my being in a wheelchair and unable to go to some of the places he goes. I quit asking if he wanted to go and found 3 other people who were happy to go with me. I had to leave him behind to find the people who actually wanted to be in my life. And i love how you're not letting Holden fall into the mold that most kids today have gotten trapped into. Tell him to never stop pushing towards his dreams. But no matter how long of a break he takes its never too long to start again. I lifted weights from jr high thru highschool and stopped when i graduated, and ending up putting 200 pounds on. I started goin to the gym again and im down 70 pounds, and today i even bench pressed 225 lbs which was the heaviest i ever lifted in highschool so i tied it. Keep up the good work to both of u. To Holden, treasure these life lessons, id give my life to hear just one more from my dad (who passed in may). And to chris, you could literally change the channel to nothin but your end of the video philosophy talks and id still watch, although im glad you do more lol.
I am 47, I have left my fair share of people behind in my life, and may leave some in the future. People grow together, and sometimes people grow apart. Change is good for everybody every now and then. Love your channel Chris! And you knocked it out of the park with your Woodobo spice! Bought a three-pack from Fowler's website and I am beyond happy!
Totally agree, some people will hold us back, then it’s time to move on. Stay positive, no place for negative.
Wow good on you holding it is so important for children to have balance and structure and I'm a little jealous because you got such a great family that supports what you want to do and they're not forcing you to do anything Holden if you ever read any of these comments please know that me personally I am very proud of you we watched you grown over the past couple years now and you're really coming quite the little man and soon you'll be the big man but you really got to take your parent advice because they are extremely smart people. Very proud of you very proud of you Holdin!
Keep it up budy!! You are killing it!! This was so inspirational to see you as a father finding out a solution to a problem and letting Holden change and decide himself.
Couldn't agree more about leaving folks behind. I had to leave behind buddies that I had known since high school, because my interests/beliefs changed, and they were still stuck in their late teen activities/ mentality, and we were in our 40's. I miss them at times, but new friends came along and life went on.
Holden rocks! Growing up into a young man with a proper mindset, thanks to the inspiration/direction/love of his father!
As always, stay safe.
just an FYI, burnt wood ash (not pressure treated ) is good for melting ice and getting rid of pond algae. ;)
The Ugly Pirate you can also till it into soil for fertilizer.
@@sonjawright518 , oh there's a bazillion other things it's good for, but he has his pond series,, that's only why I mentioned it.
I know this was filmed months ago, but I doubt it'll ever be his last fire. ;)
I don’t know why, but I’m so frickin proud of Holden! I literally had images of him in college looking like a tank dominating the competition! I think it’s awesome that he’s learning the core values of being a dominant figure at such an early age. He also has one of the greatest influencers including outside of TH-cam guiding him!!
Some people will always hold you back. It’s down to us to make the decision to leave them behind. Life is about doing what you love the most and what makes you happy. My daughter is limited to how long she has her phone or laptop for every hour she study’s she get 10 minutes on her phone. It’s great to see his hard work is paying off for him👍 keep up the great work
Very touching as a father myself. Great work and words of wisdom!
I was missing the cabin series, and MY BOY KEVIN!
I hear I'm back for the next couple weeks at least... Don't worry winter is coming. It's when I shine!
@@cmosphoto1 I expect appropriate condiments and cheese usage in the food segments. ;)
Keep it up holden, push yourself and be a leader for the other kids who don't have parents with the values that yours do. Good job Mr. And Mrs. Beard 😎
Keep up the good work Holden, great job on the ribbons you earned. Looking forward to more videos from the cabin. Full stop.
Very important conversation to have with children of that age, they need to learn that people change as time goes on and people you used to spend so much time with have become acquaintances. Holden, keep up the good work and don't stop because it's difficult, push through it and embrace the suck.
My father always said surround yourself with interesting people who do things, he was right. Thanks for reminding me.
A. i am envious of Holden and your relationship. I screwed up and now don't have that.
B. I am amazed at his growth. he is not the biggest or fastest kid, but he is the kid that works the hardest. I.E. not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog!!!
C. Your family structure is another thing i would like to have. and because of my choice in a reproductive partner was flawed or skewed, i can not obtain it.
I said all that to say I love your channel. all of it. cabin to camping. primitive to primal. I greatly enjoy watching you do what I was not able to do! Thank you!
I think that the battle of electronics has been lost, unfortunately. We are too far down that path. Getting outdoors was my favorite thing to do as a child. And it continues to be my favorite activity to this day. I have loved and will always love to do all the same things that you do on this channel. I think that the talk at the end of the video had a lot of value in it, and your concept makes total sense to me. Both you and Holden keep up the excellent work.
Full stop!
I'm really thankful for these talks. Please do more. You have come through a lot and came on top of it. That is such an inspiration.
Holden: Great job! Putting in the effort is worth it, as you already know. Games are great, they help relax and you can learn a lot from them. But in the end they are just tools. You have to know the limits, understand and realize when it is no longer helping you, but dragging you back. That applies to everything and everyone though.
Sometimes you need to leave things or people behind, so you can grow and evolve in a better version of yourself. It is not about pushing those things or people away from you. It is about You pushing yourself so far ahead, that they end up far behind you in the dust.
I wish you good luck in your efforts, get yourself the life you will love to live, because you deserve it.
It's very satisfying when kids make good choices.
Congrats Holden
This video was amazing. Cleaning up not only around the cabin but encouraging words about leaving people and change. Holden keep it up man, doing great!
Great parenting ! What a concept teaching you child that hard work yields rewards.
Seeing this video a good bit after it was posted and so glad I watched thru to the end and your talk. First off congrats to Holden on his accomplishments, secondly listening to you talk made me realize I've been doing this over the past year and finally got tired of trying to make others happy waiting for them. I've taken control of my life and literally and figuratively am also leaving people behind to better and enrich my own life and that of my 3 kids. Thanks for posting the videos and working my way thru all of your series and your brothers channel as well!
Awesome to see a young child work so hard!
Keep up the good work Holden!
Parenting Woodbeard, you're doing it right! As soon as I saw the screen switch to Holden deadlifting, I was left in awe.
Great advice. Some people are just in our lives for a season. Others are long term. Some...we need to run from!! Discernment is needed. Better to learn this early on in life. You have a lovely family...thanks for sharing your life and adventures. It's obvious you are a proud of your son. He is blessed with a dad who cares so much. What a great cabin too!!
A season, a reason, for life.
Now that's good fathering. Congratulations Holden on your track meet. Keep up the good work you two.
I really enjoy when you talk throughout the video and share information
Liked the take on leaving people behind. While I never looked at it that way it is very evident that it is inevitable. Great parental coaching for Holden. Congrats Holden on achieving 1st place and more importantly seeing this possibility is a life long lesson. Thanks for sharing this as I can truly relate.
Encouragement is the key. Good job on you encouraging and Holden being in encouraged and excepting a challenge, your hard work will pay off. Keep at it and stay active in the outdoors hunting, fishing, mushrooming and trapping.
Once again, great video and tell your son, GOOD JOB and keep up the hard work.
I almost want to see one or two more cabins built next to that one, like a little village, so more people could spend time there
Excellent advice on leaving people behind and getting rid of dead weight. I’ve had great success with eliminating people that were doing figure eights.
Full stop. Great topic. You’re right try a few times to do things then move on. You end up with a better quality circle around you. Thanks
Dude I'm so proud of Holden!!! what a stud! He's such a good kid, well done Chris. To the philosophy of "Leave them behind" I think there are levels to it...sometimes you have to cut it at the root and sometimes you have to rise above it and not let it distract you..."there's always two sides to a coin" :)
Good advice for any child. Short term loss for long term gain. Great work!
Holden you are doing a great job.... your father is a very smart Man... wish I had a father like yours.....JJ..
Really enjoyed your ideas about leaving people behind and finding new groups to carry out your interests with. It’s something that I have been doing lately myself and it’s nourishing to build new relationships and friendships. Hello from the UK 🇬🇧
Super awesome video you’re content just keeps getting better. Great to see you’re raising your kid to appreciate work and the outdoors.
Chris, great topic for teaching your son life's lessons, this is one of the most important for a budding young man to learn.
Great parenting skills. Holden great job! My sons 13 and 14 are into wrestling, football and basketball. They push hard to be better. I push them but not in a negative way. Your doing a great job teaching him life lessons.
Full Stop! Great video, I've had to leave a lot of people behind over the last year. Got off drugs, got back to work, dropped over 20lbs this year, and trying to start hunting. Tell your son to keep up the good work, anything is possible if you put your mind to it!
Congrats Holden on the first and second place.
I completely agree with you on having to leave people behing as your intrests change. I've had to leave a few friends behind over the years as our intrests change so I completely understand and agree with everything you said.
Man Chris ever since you started your channel I really have been one of your number one cheerleaders as in trying to promote the channel and share it and comment as much as I can I just think you have come Leaps and Bounds with your camera work and your content I just want to take this opportunity to thank you so much man we were at least I think the majority of the people that watch this channel really do appreciate how hard you work for us to watch Good contact. Plus you and your family are amazing people. I love this channel pal keep it up loving that the cabin series is coming back oh man I know you got lots of exciting stuff for us down the road and I'll keep cheering you on buddy.
Full stop👍
Glad to be back at the cabin. Like visiting an old friend.
Nice job teaching your son that life is hard and you get out what you put in. So many parents are afraid to tech their kids anything now days and cater to their needs and feelings. Your son will be well rounded and ready for life after childhood. Well done.
Cabin looks amazing 😅 the view without the snow looks like y’all did a amazing job building it
Great clean up, nice insulation job. Great talk on how it really is in the world, don’t sit back and wait! Enjoy life to it’s fullest!
Full stop, great message at the end. We all need to grow as people.
Well said, it's nature to move on and take people on your journey who want to be with you and its ok for people to pop in and out of your journey as long as they don't distract or block your path.
What you said is very true, after I got married, all my friends still wanted to party and get wasted all the time and my mindset changed to being productive and successful. Now that I have kids I'm glad I made that choice, so I can be a good influence for my girls. I always love to hear your thoughts on life and anything in general. Much love 🤙
As a 29th year high school physics teacher, let me tell you, teaching him that effort yields results, is key to any goal...Holden, sometimes someone else has a little more natural talent, and even after your hard work you may not be the best, but don't that keep you from trying your best every time, it pays off in many ways.
Holden, the lessons and work ethic are setting an incredible foundation for your life. Great job!
youre so right about video games an tv. they have robbed people of being out in nature an enjoying it. keep up the good work. GOD BLESS.
Haven't been interested in much else... So glad you are finally doing this series again!
To Holden: Congrats on the progress bud! Keep it up. Remember; it is better to go after Your Best than feel bad for not being The Best. It's all about You. Your goals, Your journey, You! 💪👏
Massive lesson. Learn to let go of people. It doesn't make you cold or cruel. It opens your life to new, better connections.
I love the concept of leaving some behind! Great words. We’re always taught not to leave someone behind, but in this instance YES! Keep up the great work Holden, hard work pays off!
Good for you Wooded Beardsman, it's awesome putting your son on the right track. Coming from a background where you live in the city 24/7 but every now and then you head to the country just to relax. Also trying to do something that you seem interested in or love doing, it takes practice and time to get there, so just believe Holden and keep working harder and harder everyday, push yourself more and more and soon it will pay off.
Right on WB! Glad to see you back at the cabin. It's fun seeing something from start to finish.
Final big push over the next little while!
@@TheWoodedBeardsman Being in residential construction, I know that last 5-10% is the toughest to pin down. Keep at it! We love watching.
You said it right. We get little things done and set, here and there, but lots of organizing now for the details. It's more planning than work...but we're getting there.
Full stop.. Your right.. Been waiting a while now to see the cabin finished.. I couldn't agree more with your concepts with your little one.. Why aren't there more dad's like you out there (generally speaking).. I'm sure there are several great dads out there.. Without great parents children will never excel past their own expectations and self doubt.. I believe that goes with anyone.. With that kind of teaching Holden's possibilities are endless.. To him I say good job little man! You have great parents that love you to death. You keep at it and focus on what you want in life you'll get it for sure. I don't have to tell you to listen to them cuz you obviously do a good job at that also.. Carry on! ✌
Great advice! We usually think we have remain friendsl out of guilt. Way to go Holden!
I don’t think you know how many time I’ve wondered when you’ll finish this beautiful piece of art!
We are aiming for this fall!
So excited for the cabin videos! and you're such an amazing dad
Good job Holden hard work and dedication definitely pays off. Keep up the good work bud
Young man always do your best. always love yourself. Always respect that there is room for improvement..
I can run pretty fast when I was young too. Thank you for sharing this video.
Great thinking and it does help that your life allows the time to be around to teach this.
Always love the videos beardsman! It really shows how much work is put into each and every video. As a fellow outdoorsman, I love to see others get the same enjoyment from nature as well. The leaving people behind talk was really eye opening and taught me something about relationships and how to approach them. Proud of holden and his hard work, your a strong and motivational father. Hats off to you man and I hope youtube is feeding you better than those beavers did!
Full stop, amazing Dadding. So great to see such a driven youth. Keep up the great work bud!
I can not tell you how much I love your channel. It has it all. Really. Thank you for all you do. And for sharing your journey with us.
Keep up the good work Holden , nice to see a young man put in effort somewhere besides video games . And it made a big difference around the cabin by cleaning up and removing a couple of stumps.
Proud of you for how you are raising your Son!
What inspiring words you give to your son, and your viewers! I've been watching your channel now for a whole day, watching this entire build. You're a father figure I never had, and your son is lucky to have a father like you. You also inspire me as well to become a good father when I have kids some day. Though I am a little concerned about the dead lift form of your son, I was a professional weight lifter for 2 years and dead lifts be lifted in such a way that the bar stays in contact with the legs and is finally stretched out with the hips past the shoulder and knees locked, also some slower reps would help him get the form right as well. I understand you maybe don't want to take this advice, I only mean good when I say it. I don't want a child having back problems at 20. It's an inspiration to see such a young child want to get good at something he loves doing. Tschüss
Great video, there is a lot of good sentiment in there!
Holden; Keep it up, there are so many people in our world who have no direction in life and it all starts from these early years.
So many people dismiss it and think "oh I can do that next year" but here is a simple truth, the longer you wait the harder it gets, so keep up with your goals and dreams now while they are fresh and you have the energy to pursue them, don't feel beholden to people who have different interests.
Oh and listen to your parents! You'll understand why when you have kids of your own...
You're awesome man. Great advice and Holden is blessed to have an influence like you. Getting outside is so critical to basic life development and yet it is becoming rare amongst kids today. As a single father of 2 early teens, I'm trying regularly to get them outside. Next time they want to hang out inside and watch TH-cam, I'm going to suggest they check out this video. I'm still catching up as I only found your channel last week.
Hey Holden(sorry if I misspelled your name) people are like filters, and as you grow older and start having new interests or goals the people in your life will filter themselves in and out of your life as needed every person that comes into your life will teach you something, with your down to earth personality and some inner reflection and thoughtful considerations you will identify what each person is there to teach you. Sometimes when you meet people that you like and can/could consider to be a friend, the lesson you learn from them might be learned faster than you want but may be forced to lose that person in your life..don't despair though cause they will be replaced with another good person soon enough..and some people will teach you what you don't want in your life, or what you don't like about some people. The hardest part about knowing about these filters is losing a close friend that you hold dear to your heart..you can always meet the later if you need to have them in your life..but if your observant in your friends and their behaviors then you might find yourself selecting what you want in a friend don't let habits good or bad get in the way of a friendship, that may hold you back from making a good decision for yourself, for example you and a buddy are always hanging out then you meet a girl who you want to spend time with your friend may get jealous of her because you spend more time with her than him..it happens, good friends don't always need your attention and will make you a better person .sorry for the long windedness but I could go on lol but don't want to bore you. If you want a good example of a good friendship your dad and Jeremy are a great example lol, even though they're not always together their friendship is solid and they both have freedoms..
Nice video man! And good on your son. I picked up the weights at 13 for hockey as well and they helped me deal with stress and anger so in a way, they helped teach me life lessons just as much as playing hockey did
That is an awesome way to explain things a youngster, fantastic advice. Holden you are an inspiration to many, you are guaranteed to grow up to be a successful man, follow your dreams and they will come true. Congratulations on your track meet. Dream big young man.
Full stop each time everytime! Way to go Holden! Keep up all your hard work it will pay off in the end!
Thank you for the advice! I'm really going to try to incorporate that in my life more! I've done this in life before when I use to party with friends to much and got my life together for my family! Kinda lost track of it with my out door stuff and would like to get back into it again but my new friends have lost interest where I haven't! Great job to your son accomplishments with his track! Hard work pays off! Congratulations!
I enjoy your videos but I especially enjoyed your thoughts at the end of this one. Great parenting 👌💯 and great explaining "leave people behind" it's so applicable in order to move forward. I've heard this before but it really hit home hearing it from you.
