"Stretching Scars" Wilderness Therapy to Regain Range of Motion & Emotional Capacity 😎 Firebox Stove

  • Wilderness is pure authenticity with depth billions of years old, a powerfully therapeutic environment to both body and soul.
    This is the longest cut of this back packing primitive wild camping trip with my dogs Ash and Juni and my pack goat Bill. I let the clips run long so you could feel what it's like to be in the wild living a bushcraft lifestyle immersed in nature deep in the wilderness catching trout for dinner and cooking over a wood fired 5" G2 Firebox Stove then sleeping under the stars and moon. I hope you can relax and let go for an hour to taste what being part of nature feels like.
    As scar tissue forms it shrinks and tightens. If we don't go through the painful process to stretch them they will affect our range of motion and or emotional capacity. No pain, no gain.
    I am a regular guy who loves nature and enjoys creating outdoor products that make camping that much more fun.
    Here are a few links to some of the gear used in the show. Thanks in advance for checking out my website. Cheers, Steve

    As someone who does a lot of backpacking, I appreciate how much extra work goes into filming an already chore heavy activity. There are times that I’m too tired to cook and end up eating my breakfast for dinner. I can’t imagine filming all this. And the clean up. Bravo Steve. You’re a savage

    Hey, Steve! I really feel for you and can relate to your opening comments. I shattered my left patella in a motorcycle accident in 2003, and doctors did not expect me to return to "flight" status back when I was in the USAF. After a lot of therapy, I was cleared to fly later that year and retired from the USAF in 2008. Returning to motorcycle riding helped me fix some balance issues with my weak leg and later got into into backpacking, which helped with my weak ankles. Your adventures always inspire me to get out, try new adventures, and to find new ways to make awesome food while out in nature. IMHO, the Firebox stove is a backpacker's dream. I hope that you have a speedy recovery, and I'm confident that you will handle this challenge with a lot of grace. Best wishes my friend. Looking forward to seeing your next adventure.

    I love seeing you back out cooking on trail. Whenever I use my Firebox stoves I think of you, your family,wonderful animals, and feel our lives are connected in a wonderful way. I’ve watched so many hours of your videos, picked up some great ideas, and enjoy surprising my family and friends with unexpectedly great food or coffee while hiking. I’m sorry your recovery is a painful one, but grateful you are able to continue to do the things you love.❤

    Thanks for the video Steve, it was great to see you out and about and sorry to hear about your accident, I like you better on land than on a bike, their fun but dangerous. Hope that you heal well both physically and mentally and become even stronger than before. I've enjoyed your videos and have missed the four of you fishing, camping, cooking and teaching us how to do things out in nature well. The extra work that you put in with the camera footage is amazing , even when recuperating from surgery, quite admirable. Blessings to you and family, Thank You. 🙏🥰🐾🌟✌

    Congratulations on getting back out there, Steve. Some years ago, I suffered a severe injury in an armed robbery, so I know all too well the frustrations of recovering from a traumatic incident. Sometimes it feels like you'll never be whole again. But you'll get there, taking it one step at a time as you're doing. And spending time in nature is a real balm.
    Watching your videos and getting out into the wild (accompanied by several Firebox products, of course:) has certainly aided my healing, both physical and emotional. Thank you.
    Wishing you strength and peace.

    • @fireboxstove
      @fireboxstove  Před 11 měsíci +2

    Steve sorry to hear about your accident thats rough. I do hope you're healing up well and on the road to recovery. Interesting you have one of those air mattresses. Ive seen them before and there great for saving on space. Im sure the air collection bag can also be used as a dry bag which is cool. I think Bill was just missing his buddy Levi, i hope he's ok. Thanks for the adventure Steve. All the best & One step at a time👣 👍

I love how so many of us are so open about our struggles now. That silence was so detrimental to our recovery and others' awareness for so long.
    Have you considered using trekking poles, at least while you're still recovering? I found them very helpful while hiking after a broken foot. Once I got my strength back in my ankle and foot I had come to enjoy hiking with them so much that I kept them :)

    Steve as the proud owner of your equipment (which is top ace notch). My late wife (who I lost to cancer this last march) bought my first Firebox stove. Now I cherish it even more. I hear ya on the emotion healing and what the mountians can do. We all carry a ton of baggage as we age and being in the wilderness has a special power to move this weight from the sholders to the hips and finally the feet as you say. My journey in healing will be begin as soon as I get out of my own cancer battle. I will be ready for the hills and the solitude it will bring and hope that it will bring me the peace and wisdom to push ahead. I look forward very much to fried potato's, onions and a brook trout over my firebox.
    When I was 18 (now 61) I had a motorcycle that I wrecked as well. Shattered my Talus in my ankle (as well as 10 other major bones). I find that I have to wear full hiking boots laced tight and always bring some extra supports. Yes you will live on Advil (I take 800mg everyday). It gets better but never goes away. Take care and keep pushing on....

    Hi Steve, I understand your pain. I had my knees replaced one after the other. Recovery IS all about stretching that scar tissue. And in the process, you become very aware of what a toll it takes on the rest of your body, and that too, gets right in your head and heart. It's a shocking concept when it finally sets in. I'm happy that you're willing to get out where the healing is best and take the pain that goes with progress. Please be careful out though. It may never be the same, but you don't want to injure yourself trying to get back on track. And don't forget to give yourself a break when it comes to feeling bad. You're working harder than most will ever know. That fish looked yummy! I loved Bushcraft Bill's reaction to the coffee. The monkey bread in a cup had me drooling. Be well, take it slow. Prayers for you.

    Thank you so very much for sharing this Steve. I used to love your camping videos and I cant tell you what a treat it was to relax and enjoy this beautiful retreat into nature. Always love all the yummy creations you come up with too. The sweet pups are living their best life being out there with you. Thank you for sharing your stretching scars journey with us. You are an inspiration and I truly enjoyed every moment of this ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

    Enjoyed another great hiking trip of yours. Glad to see you pushing through the foot problems. It will get easier each time. Great food, but you are right, half pound of flour would have made enough. Lol!

    Bill is so intelligent scoping out his own hotel room.. guess Levi relaxing at home. Those bacon fumes came right through the screen! Yum! Bless your heart dealing with all that healing pain. I imagine that trauma is probably building some type of perspective . I get my enjoyment from your videos and I thank you. Please be careful and take your time hiking. Praying for solid recovery.

    I have not seen Levi in some time. I enjoy every video you have put out and I revisit them often. I am thinking that the pack goats work real good as a team. If he is gone I would love to see you get a good helper for Bill.

    • @fireboxstove
      @fireboxstove  Před 11 měsíci +1

      Because of multiple blockages Levi had his urinary tract rerouted out the back which makes it difficult to put a pack on him. I have some ideas and hope to get him back on the trail soon.

    Hey Stove, good to see you camping again. Loved the travel size didgeridoo. that must help with your spirituality and emotionality. scar tissue yep. i got them inside and out. i believe your PT is exactly what i experienced for both my emotional and physical injuries. Loved Bill's stubbornness and your "lets go, let's go let's go!" awesome! keep on keeping on. Never give up! thanks.

    Love your outings. Sorry about your injury. I know sometimes the surgery is more of a back set to the original injury. Tustin stay at it. Use it as much as the body will allow.
    I severed a tendon in my hand on a canoe trip. The survey was far more painful and injurious but a necessary evil. Finally a year later and my hand is almost as good as new. You’ll definitely get there.
    That meal was amazing. Great fish.
    Then watching you eat it I thought “ Capers!”
    Adding more to the flavor profile. My culinary input for the next trip.
    Yum. ❤

    Steve this was epic. I appreciate you being vulnerable and sharing. It is so powerful for men (especially) to see/hear this. My journey has been very similar to yours and I have found myself over the past 8 months unpacking 42 years of emotional bondage. It was great to see you out doing what you love, I can see the emotional/physical pain in your face...those little critters you bring along also feel it and they are so entuned to you. You are truly blessed and I wish you the best from the SouthEast. On a not-so serious note...I caught myself wanting to swat the mosquitos away as I watched this video. Thanks for being a solid dude and for your content/products! I still have my eye on the chef knife and your hat setup (genius)!

    • @fireboxstove
      @fireboxstove  Před 11 měsíci

      Thank you for the comment and kind words, I'm so glad you found the video helpful. The animals are definitely in tune with me and so very appreciated for it.
