Congratulations on your accomplishments. Follow your dream and enjoy your time in the woods. Wish I were about 30 years younger I'd give it a go, but I learn what I can from the great folks who share their knowledge on YT and go out and practice when I can. Look forward to more of your videos.
Congratulations man. Growing up being an outdoors person and now a 30 year old overweight guy. You are an inspiration bud. Stay strong, keep at it and have fun
Krikie 30 years young! Ramp it up slowly man. Don't blow a gasket trying to get in shape. Believe me you have a young body, bearly broken in. I could have done this stuff at 57, even if I slept for three days after. Anyone who gets that patch has my total respect. Go for it. Chris
Congratulations, great job !!!! Get up here to the Adirondack mountains , This is my stomping grounds for years and still is . Hunt out of a 14x16 wall tent but now looking to get a 12x18 because of sons , brother , grandson . The tent now would do sleep 8 but want little more room . You get here you will love the woods keep in mind they are big old woods with lots big game , trout fishing, eatable things like nuts , berries, plants . Big waters , big creeks , ponds , rivers . You get a chance look for books on it , and books of hermits that lived in the woods .
Pooter Stomper it gets real cold in winter and tons of snow , look for book hermit named Rondue they have his cabin and all his stuff at Blue mountain museum up there
The hummingbirds left here yesterday. Leaves are changing. Hummingbirds have been gone in the Daks for weeks. It has been below freezing in the traditional cold spots up there already. On June 15th you can expect 30° in Panther Gorge and a number of places inside the blue line. Yup hermits. Too many humans up there now days. Chris
Hooah, again great job Pooter, congratulations and I hope you pass all the other classes that you enroll in. Glad to see you back and can’t wait until the next video.
Congratulations! Keep after it and you'll earn the instructor patch. Outstanding that you were asked to help the Basic course! I am a little disappointed that you didn't keep your sandals, I was hoping to see you rocking them in Seelyville! Hahahaha! Good job and thanks for the update.
Hey Pooter, I just watched one of Corporals Corner videos and he was putting you out there for people to go and see your channel. Totally awesome brother, totally awesome 👏.
Congratulations. Your family is the most important thing. In the 'Daks' (what we call them up here), be prepared for wet feet. Wool is fantistic. But get you some poly pro liner sox. Try not to work up a sweat. (If your cloths are wet from the inside, you may as well be outside) On the other side even if you are not thirsty drink all the water you can hold. Watch the shore line of the lakes and ponds. They are warm and you cannot trust the ice. Also quicksand can be found. If you are forced to drink unfiltered water, you have a few days before ' beaver fever'sets in. Dehydration is one of the first signs of hypothermia . It does not have to be all that cold. When you can see your breath, that is water leaving. It Sneaks Up.
I keep hitting the wrong button. The Daks where my back yard for years. And I do not speak from conjecture. Keep a clear head. If that gets tough, make sure you are hydrated. Rotate you sox, even if you think they are dry. And get back to your family safe. Peace Chris
Awesome job, brother! Happy for you. The sandals sounded like a fun one. I have cut rubber in the past and it is unbelievably tough. The trick is water. Pouring it at the cut takes the friction off the blade and makes it slice. The puuko looks great. Cheers
Great job and congratulations. Also glad to hear you're still going to do the overnighters, really them, my grandkids have started watching them with me as well.
Hey Pooter, CONGRATULATIONS on passing the Advanced Pathfinder Class!!!! We all knew you could do it Brother!!! Looking forward to seeing you back on youtube doing your overnights in the woods... Keep healthy and safe my friend!!!
Congratulations Brother!! I was actually getting worried about you. I want you to know that you have been an inspiration to us normal guys to get out and pursue the old ways. I have ordered some items to help me teach my boys some of what I have learned from you. Thanks again for staying true to who you are while your channel grows. Take Care, Anthony
Great job brother! I know how hard you've been working and your dedication since I started following you many months ago and glad to see it paid off and you stuck it out. I didn't have any doubts. Pretty sure I saw a picture of you on the Pathfinder's FB page all soaking wet and blowing into a birds nest...lol. Never lose sight and keep it up man!
Congrats Brother! I look forward to what your channel will bring. Ive been getting back into the woods and clearing the hunting club property out some. Its back breaking work but feels great to get it done. Getting back in shape is one of my goals for the rest of the year.
☆♡☆ Great Video. Absolutely love it when a man stops for a few mins and tells it from the heart. Love what your doing on this channel. New fan. Best wishes. Hope the kids are watching and Subscribed as well. 😎
@@TonyPowers_Dirtbound things are going okay now. I had a bit of bad luck at the end of July into August. I fell and broke two ribs and one rib punctured my lung and collapsed it. I was in the Hospital and had a tube put in my chest to inflate my lung. That is a painful procedure. You are not numbed and fully awake as they insert the tube. Lucky me had to have it put in twice because they didn't get it in the right area the first time. Plus no one had done one at that Hospital so I was the doctors first and she kept pushing the tube in and pulling it out then pushing it in again. Not a fun time, lol. I also had internal bruising and nerve irritation too from the fall.Then when I got home I dropped an icepack on my jaw. I have chronic migraines and use icepacks for them along with my meds. I fractured my jaw and irritated the nerve as well as had a blocked saliva duct and was swollen and in pain. So I was on a liquid diet. Then soft foods and now a bit more harder foods but still not things that are to hard to crunch. Yep so August was a bust for me, lol. I hope you are all doing well and staying safe. Have a great week. 😊
Great job man!! I hope to get there one day lol some physical set backs have it me but I will recover. Keep following your dreams and make them reality. GB2 is a great guy and one hell of an instructor.....but they all are!!! The subscribers on your page will be waiting on the videos so you do what you gotta do and get the content out when you can! Have a great one and again congratulations to you!!
Hey pooter, Shawn aka corporals corner recommended we come check you out. Congratulations on passing the advanced, really impressive stuff. I'm going to work my way through your videos. Take care man.
Awesome job brother well earned and deserved, continue on your journey..like I said before I see big things coming your way! Again congratulations and great video as always 💪👍
First of all congratz with completing the course. You also showed a good way to get rid of the mandatory hatchet. Just leave it at camp the first day so you don't have to carry it around any more. In the survival part of my basic, intermediate and advanced classes you don't even get to bring an ax/hatchet or saw but all you get to keep is the knife. Each school has it's own curriculum and way of teaching and they are often not comparable. It's more what you like. My advanced classes are 10 days in a totally new environment. So if you are used the the boreal forest it's gonna be jungle, tundra or desert and vice versa.
Loved this Tony. Another great video for us instructor candidates. Really inspiring me to start my own channel to document the journey through the classes, chosen to be an instructor or not. Hope to see you again next month at the Plant class or in July at the Nav Intensive
NICE JOB!! brotha beautiful blade LOVE the Puukko you've earned your stripes sir well done!!(= is your eye lid swollen?? After a few days In the busch that happens to me inevitable eye stye or some other crap, take care Anthony stay safe&happy😁✊🔥

Congratulations on your achievement!
Many many thanks
The best students make the best teachers.
Have fun, stay safe. From one trucker to another. GO TACTICAL
You're an inspiration man. Keep it up.
Congratulations.
Your family is the most important thing.
In the 'Daks' (what we call them up here), be prepared for wet feet.
Wool is fantistic.
But get you some poly pro liner sox.
Try not to work up a sweat.
(If your cloths are wet from the inside, you may as well be outside)
On the other side even if you are not thirsty drink all the water you can hold.
Watch the shore line of the lakes and ponds.
They are warm and you cannot trust the ice.
Also quicksand can be found.
If you are forced to drink unfiltered water, you have a few days before
' beaver fever'sets in.
Dehydration is one of the first signs of hypothermia .
It does not have to be all that cold.
When you can see your breath, that is water leaving.
It Sneaks Up.
Jess pointed me in your direction. I have to remember to thank him.
He is the real deal.
Jess is a good dude!
I keep hitting the wrong button.
The Daks where my back yard for years. And I do not speak from conjecture.
Keep a clear head. If that gets tough, make sure you are hydrated.
Rotate you sox, even if you think they are dry.
And get back to your family safe. Peace Chris
Thanks brother, appreciate the advice
@@TonyPowers_Dirtbound he is a brother now.
