    PLEASE! Dave just drove 4000 miles in 5 days from Alaska to be here. HE WAS EXHAUSTED. I'm beyond sick of the negative comments about "how he did or did not react" and what a terrible husband he is. ARE YOU SERIOUS? You can't interpret a couple's love and appreciation for each other from one EDITED video. YOU DON'T SEE EVERYTHING! And by the way, this is nothing new to us- we've been living in wall tents and buying/improving land our whole married lives. Good grief people. Calm down.

    My husband was also a man of few words but he knew exactly how to express his appreciation in all the right ways, if you know what I mean. He passed away at 52 years of age in April of 2018. We were married 23 years. I knew he loved me and that's all that mattered. Cheers to many years of continued happiness to you both.

      @rozhill4837 Před rokem +2

      No offense intended, but I can guess why people question your relationship status. After 21 years and long bouts of isolation, you two are acting like brother and sister. You have worked so hard to surprise him...with those strange words...wanting to blow his face off.
      4000 miles should not prevent a big hug and a kiss.
      Of course, there were conjectures that Bill & Hillary were more business partners than lovers.
      Trump & Melania seem to be there too.
      It is a shame, because it is evident that you would like more than just a single word of appreciation for your labors to make him happy, compounded by your having to ask for it.
      Of course, people can settle into whatever seems to work best, even as you may desire some intimacy.
      But! We don't know what happens when the lights go out. I suspect you think a pattern established for 21 years is all it needs to be.
      Just scold me and delete this.
      Feel the satisfaction for the amazing amount of work you accomplish..with those lovely romantic touches!😏💕
      Namaste.

      @@rozhill4837 you have no clue as to whether there was a hug and kiss greeting. Many people, myself included, do not blatantly show PDA(Public Display of Affection). I respect that. They are definately not like brother and sister. More like best friends. Just because someone doesn't say much isn't a slam. Brooke knows her husband better than us keyboard warriors.

    In forestry college many moons ago, a professor introduced us to the concept of vistas. Judicious thinning of trees can create a vista by allowing you to see thru to a scenic landscape. You start by taking out a few trees at a time until you get the scene you want. You don't need or want to clear cut.

      Sometimes men respect a woman more when they aren't as nice to him. Some men feel intimidated or inadequate with a giving woman. Crazy sounding, but true!

    Your videos are timeless, I am seeing this for the first time 3 years after it being posted, but it is all new. It might be some more of the same, but beautiful is beautiful at any point in time. I'm amazed that you are still going at it strong as ever. I love watching you guys work, not used to seeing you slow down for a bit. So much of the northern US is pristine compared to other places, however, east Tennessee and western North Carolina are beautiful too with easier winters. A cabin on the lake would be so nice...

    Totally reminds of the mountains I grew up camping in, the Sierra Nevada mountains of central California. We always camped in the back county, not in campgrounds. We would go into the camp my grandpa first set up back in 1948, near a spring he found, inthe early spring in our jeeps, having to clear trees that came down in the winter snow, sometime there wiuld still be some snow. It was near the Emigrant Wilderness area. Not to far from the Tioga pass area of Yosemite National Park, Avery remote area of the California mountains. My parents built a cabin in the mountains and later built their home a few miles from were there cabin was. Ineer my husband at the ski area, Dodge Ridge, not to far from there and were married in the mountains. I spent so much of my life in the back county camping, backpacking, canoeing, snow skiing, fishing, hunting, even water skiing at the many lakes in the area. I love the quite of the forest, the different shades of greens of the trees, the sky, the night stars, the animals, I even love the rocks of so many types and colors. I a a girl in the woods too Brook ❣️🌲🌲🌲🏞️
