  • Did a quick trip into the boundary waters wilderness area in northern Minnesota with my dog Skeeter. It was a fun time, we covered a lot of miles and explored an area I hadn’t been to before. #diy #outdoors #homestead

    The most loving and honouring thing you can do for Cierra and your baby is to wear a life jacket and even one for Skeeter, good on you Kyle! 🤗 Thanks for sharing your little journey, really impressive.

    The Boundary Waters is truly an experience. My family has explored the Boundary Waters and Voyagers National Park since I was 7 years old, I am now 67 with only 3 years missed.

    My Dad too his three sons and son in law on this trip. They came back so happy and full of stories for years. It was wonderful to see all the men getting along and caring for each other. It’s beautiful their…..Nice to see you get away for a break and take care of yourself doing what you enjoy….I do believe you’re the hardest working man on utube. God love ya Kyle, you do it all for your family. ❤

      thanks for saying this to him, I just become tongue tied when I watch what he can do just because he can and he knows how to....I have watched him almost the beginning and to have this many subscribers speaks volumes..his life style is priceless and so rewarding....

    Skeeter really turned out to be a great dog... super low maintenance as he never goes off on his own. He knows to stay within range of where you are at.

    To go out into the wilderness, kayaking with just a map, and camping all by yourself, in addition to building cabins... you've definitely lived before this life. This isn't your first time here.
    I've never done anything like this. Wish I had someone growing up that could've taken me on such trips. You'd make a great father!

    Morning Kyle, …it’s always good to go on a boundary trip with you for a day or two. You and Skeeter are always great company and always show us a great time and as for the night fire well why bother you can always eat your steak raw but making cold coffee in a morning is a big no no. We’d be worse than a bear with a sore head all day and that’d ruin the whole trip. Yep it’s all about getting the priorities right that makes the trip a worthy trip and for all the right reasons.😅😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 thanks for the memories Kyle.😊😊😊😊😊

    Something special about the lakes up there. We do Quetico off the end of the Gunflint trail. We were in for 10 days last year and ran out of coffee which was almost worse than running out of food-seriously. Going next spring so thanks for the reminder of how beautiful it is. I’m guessing the 1 mile portage keeps a lot trippers out of that route.
