  • 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.

    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!

    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. ❤

    I went to the BWCA in the summer of 1967. Was there one glorious week. Was in a church group from Illinois. It was my job to bring all the trash out. I was happy to do that. Pleased that that mining is being kept out of there. May it Always be done elsewhere.

You have a beautiful family now that is the ultimate inspiration for all of your success and happiness. Now you just have to nurture what you have been working so hard for.

    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.😊😊😊😊😊
