I just turned 72yo and the "less" l see of people, the "more" l like them. I just want and need "peace & quiet" in my life, with no dramas, to maintain my sanity.
Ellie is getting older, the gray muzzle tells the tale. I've adopted five Australian Shepherds over the last 35 years. Soon you will be entering the sweet time of life with her, very enjoyable and fleeting. Be sure to enjoy the time, before it passes you by.
Caught the latest video and it was like being right there in the cabin during the storm. The cozy vibes with just you and your dog against the thunderous backdrop were truly special. It’s moments like these that remind us of the simple joys in life. Stay safe and keep sharing these wonderful experiences! 🌩️🐕🏡
Incredible video and your guitar play is amazing. I always watch your videos before going to sleep because they are soooo calming ❤ keep doing this, Jack!
Thank you for taking us on your journey Jack. Love, listening to you play your guitar you do a really great job always love seeing Ellie. She’s so happy to go on your adventures with you.
Agree with you. We all need to disconnect from society. You do it by being in the woods and reading. I do it by watching your videos. They make me feel like I’m right there in the woods with you.
Catching up on your adventures and just seen how you and Ellie became family. Love your videos. I love watching before bed. Very calming in this crazy world❤🙏🏼
This entire video was so beautiful! The storm had to be so cozy - except for the lightening scare! The sounds that you capture in these videos and your incredible photography make them so relaxing to watch! And Ellie... what a sweetheart!
Sublime video thank you Jack! I love how the tiny A frame is so different across the seasons, the lush green of the woods in late Summer are so pretty. You really have a perfect spot for escaping the busy world and recharging. Sweet Ellie was so good not chasing the wildlife, and am glad you could both shelter from that intense storm! Thanks for taking us with you, and love to your gorgeous family from ours!
I'm so glad that you are a praying 🙏 man, Jack! That lightening was so close! Great that you and Ellie are safe! What an incredible experience you 2 had! ❤
It is so nice that you have a cabin right by your house . It's nice to hear and see all the animals . I love the sound of the rain and how it nourishes all the plants and makes them refreshed again Ellie is such a cool dog she is so relaxed.
What a beautiful peaceful video. Ellie is such a sweet girl. I love old dogs. I wish people had the loving heart of a dog. Thanks for the video and letting us come along. Take care, give Ellie a hug for me. GOD Bless.
So I'm watching this again and am realizing that I need to make some changes.. it's still a beautiful video...still makes me cry and still gives me hope 😊
I really enjoy the various camping structures you build as opposed to buying some commercial camper that runs into a crazy amount of money. My favorite camping videos are the rainy-day ones or the winter camping ones where you embrace the weather instead of avoiding it. God has blessed us with seasonal beauty so we should be thankful for it.
Very nicely done video! Love the sound of acoustic guitar and as others have said the sights, nature sounds and holy moly that lightning was ridiculously close 😱. Ellie is just so precious ❤️
I like to sit on my porch during storms but twice now there was a lightning strike quite close by that made me jump out of my skin. So sadly, I stay inside now during them. Always enjoy your videos. Maranatha.
Bravo, sometimes simplicity is the best source of inspiration. Thanks for letting us follow you and Ellie on your adventure. As always give the girls a kiss from me. Have a blessed evening !
Love camping in a storm! The rain on the roof puts me right to sleep! That lighting was close! In Florida we learn early that you get inside if there is any chance of lightning around! Whew! Dip the end of that cigar in the whiskey!
That was great. With all the craziness in the world right now it's so nice to watch such a heartwarming video. From a fellow world traveler, Blessings to you, your beautiful family and Ellie.
After watching this vlog I just luved watching the true nature such as 🦌 deer, squirrel and birds chirping and greenery and beautiful weather and beautiful time spending in such an incredible place. Luv watching your video everyday....thank you very much for the lovely video. I feel as if i am enjoying my stay in this beautiful jungle....lots of Luv ❤to Ellie she is so sweet well behaved ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I heard Ellie say “thanks dad for taking down those pokey things, so they don’t get stuck anymore!” I’m so sorry for the stormy weather, but I enjoyed seeing and listening to it. Thank you for the guitar playing. Nothing better than being in the nature….well, aside from the time spent with family. But alone time for everyone I think is necessary, from time to time. Ellie is living her best life with you as her dad. Say hi to Riley and hugs to Olivia. Loved all the nature sounds as well! This is my 2nd fave video I’ve watched of yours.
Hi from Ontario, Canada. I really enjoy your videos. Especially the A frame ones. They are quite calming. Ellie is a joy to see as well as you and your family. Keep up the good work!
This was great. Feel like I am there. It is a nice getaway to enjoy the cabin, the food, the scenery. Hope you and your family are well. This is truly a beautiful place. ❤
Love all of your videos and especially enjoyed this one, the quietness filled only with bird song, squirrel chatter, rain, crackling fire, your guitar playing, the sounds of you working and cooking, it was so peaceful and relaxing to watch. Even the quiet peaceful deer. Your editing with the different camera shots and angles and music was beautiful as well and mixed well with everything else. Thank you for the beautiful video, just what I needed today after a long day at work. So thankful to God you were not hit by lightening.
Still going through some of your older videos that I haven't seen yet. You never disappoint! Love seeing Ellie enjoying her best life! This was so relaxing, except when the lightning struck! ⚡ That was a little too close for comfort. LOL The squirrels were chirping so loud. I've never heard them make so much noise 😂 The thunderstorms are my favorites!
Jack, I sound like a broken record and I keep repeating myself but I do write something to promote your channel in the youtube algorithm. I love Ellie and If Ellie had a puppy, please let me know. She is the sweetest dog like my own late baby. May God protect her and you and your family.
The best thing I ever found in the woods when I went remote camping in Colorado is a BOX, with a hole cut in the top and a toilet seat nailed to the top of it.... INCREDIBLE find.... it made the week there so much better! HA!
So great to see you and Ellie enjoying time at the tiny cabin. Nice practical touch with the screen door. I love the sound of a good rain 🌧️ but you scared me with thunder and lightening-too close. Great video 👍
Hello from the driftless region of Wisconsin! Love seeing the A-frame and being down in the woods again. That storm really was fast and furious. Had me worried 😮with you being outside with the lightning ⚡⚡ so close. When you go out to be around the campfire playing the guitar was haunting beautiful. Especially when the deer came to see. Thanks for the journey! Take care and be safe.🙏🧔🐶🤱
Am i the only one that absolutely loves this channel and family!
Thank you SO MUCH!
Far from it. So many love this channel. It is a respite from this chaotic world.
Nope I’m hooked!!
Nope! I watched every night before I go to bed to help me relax.
Thank you for praying!!! Love your adventures with your wife ,Ellie and baby
Thank you so much!
I get the “disconnect from society”…peace and quiet is so paramount in one’s life.
Agreed 👍🏽👍🏽

Love camping in a storm! The rain on the roof puts me right to sleep! That lighting was close! In Florida we learn early that you get inside if there is any chance of lightning around! Whew! Dip the end of that cigar in the whiskey!
For real! Lesson learned
Looks so cozy and peaceful, especially with the thunderstorm ❤
It’s so nice down there 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Thanks so much!
Fatherhood looks great on you sir😃👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.

Those sharp stickers are also seeds, you need to pull them out.
Totally, they’re the worst
I heard Ellie say “thanks dad for taking down those pokey things, so they don’t get stuck anymore!” I’m so sorry for the stormy weather, but I enjoyed seeing and listening to it. Thank you for the guitar playing. Nothing better than being in the nature….well, aside from the time spent with family. But alone time for everyone I think is necessary, from time to time. Ellie is living her best life with you as her dad. Say hi to Riley and hugs to Olivia. Loved all the nature sounds as well! This is my 2nd fave video I’ve watched of yours.
