    Mike, I heard a quote from Dr. Phil, and it stuck.
    " We're not raising children, we are raising adults."
    That said! You're doing it!
    Cherish these moments!
    Your boys are never going to forget these experiences, and they will cherish you for it!

    Mike I have ordered some things for the boys. The company will be sending them to you. I am the same lady that sent the jewelry to Selah. I hope you let me know that you received Selah & the boys gifts. The one toy is for the baby & the other 3 toys is for the 2 older boys to share. I hope they enjoy them. Love watching your videos & seeing how your family run your
    homestead.

    Mike, my husband and used to camp a lot. When we went to bed we always changed every stitch of clothing. You perspire in your clothes during the day whether its cold or not. Dont need to go to bed in slightly damp clothing. Put on dry clothing and socks on feet. Much better sleep.

    A $10.00 closed cell sleeping pad, is as important as a sleeping bag. It keeps the cold from the ground, from freezing your sleeping bag. As a boy, sleeping in a tent was a great adventure!

    Hello Mike, I know nothing about tents or camping, but I'd hang or attach sand bags on each of those anchor poles where they go into the ground, just for extra security if the wind gets up any time while you're using the tent.. I guess you have the knowledge and skills. More than me anyway. Love 😍 tuning in to your adventures in USA from here in the UK xx xx

    I am with you on the leg cramps. I have them every night-either in my calf, or thigh, or inner thigh, or toes. And I am 71 and have cramps all the time-ever since I was a kid. Sure gets tiring. Sometimes at 3 am, 5 am, and when I wake up to go to work at 630 am. Pickle juice amd mustard do nothing to ease them. So glad that you and the boys had a great time.

But you know my mom and dad would take us fishing for a whole day and my mother fried chicken and potato salad she always had some type of a dessert, she worked for really really hard to get this done. My dad worked hard to make sure we found a safe place that we had a little campfire if we needed it and I remember those times and they are good,good memories. FYI mom always caught the most and a lot of the times the biggest fish. ❤

    🤔 Aww man you gotta have a foot inflatable air mattress and a stocking cap/ skully cap to sleep in. I get the best sleep ever that way. I’m not an avid camper but I do camp ⛺️ at least 3 or 4 times a year. I also make sure to put a tarp under my tent to keep the bottom of it clean and I also scotch guard my tent at least once a year to help it be resistant to rain/moisture.
    What you are doing is great. That education , that bonding is important.

    I took my kids camping every summer for at least 2 weeks fully roughing it. All our meals except supper on friday night were cooked on the campfire. I ncluding bread, rolls, desserts and snacks. On friday we went to a local towns restaurant that had an "all you can eat fish fry."
    Most of the other families cooked burgers or hot dogs for their 2 or 3 day camping trip. We had omlettes, french toast, pancakes, fried eggs with bacon or sausage or ham. Lunch was more of things like burgers or hot dogs or grilled cheese or subs. And suppers were beef stew over rice, steak & baked potatoes, we like pork steak better than chops, and grilled chicken, or a beef roast with mashed potatoes & gravy. We had blueberry bread, dinner rolls, biscuits & gravy, pumpkin bread. An apple pie or blueberry or cherry pie. Popcorn, roasted marshmallows, S'mores, french fries. Elephant ears with or without the sugar & cinnamon or the fruit pie filling toppings.
    We also had a rainy day box that could only be used on rainy days. It had everything to craft with construction paper, glue, wiggly eyes, stickers, stamps, colored pipe cleaners, tongue depressers, scissors that cut straight, waves, wiggles, V's. v's, U's, W's, circle cutters, hole punches, rulers, cotton balls, Q-tips, markers, paint & paint brushes, word search books for kids, note paper to write letters, colored pencils, colored ink pens, just about anything. Plus story books.
    We took softball items, basketball. Soccer ball, fishing equipment. And volleyball/badmitton net & equipment. A trailer full of wood, axe, hatchet, maul & wedges. And the kids bikes, and my camping kitchen tote & fire/cooking racks. And 1 exlarge rolling bag for each child with clothes, swimsuitS and beach towels & lifejackets. Smaller bags for adults. It took 1 full size conversion van for people, clothes bags & food and the dog. 1 pickup truck & trailer for sports equipment, wood items, bikes, wood, kitchen totes and tent tarps and outdoor rug.

    When I used to tent camp, I always took a tarp that fit over the tent and lashed it down over the tent. Never had any moisture issues with dew, light or heavy rain. I also would unzip a window cover a little to help with condensation.

    Great video and message, but I will say as long as you have good quality sleeping bags, taking your clothes off inside the sleeping bag is better than bundling up. When you wake your clothes will be warm as you put them on, inside the sleeping bag and coming out into a cold environment wearing warm clothes. I learned this trick while in the Marines during boot camp along with the benefits of a sleeping pad of some kind. Maybe on the next trip you guys could do some fishing, that would be fun to watch.

    Good trip with your older sons Mike and the Trail group. I would recommend a camping pad or air mattress, pillows and take clothes off at night and put dry ones on and fresh socks. Then sleep better and a cap to keep head warm. Extra blanket inside sleeping bag. I have to have a camping cot. Cant get up and down off the ground easily. Lantern and flashlights good. We all kids and my mama sometime always went camping and fishing. My dad bought great big family tent. I remember how fun and relaxing to get away in nature. Great memories with my dad, irreplaceable. I was a tom girl too. Your older son looks just like his sister! Love the whole family❤🎉😊🙏💟✝️😊💖 Praying and God Bless!

    Mike, Keep a jar of dill pickle juice with you when you are sleeping away from home. Mine are always foot cramps. An oz. or 2 of that juice an my cramp disappears in 15 or 20 seconds! My great grandma was a wealth of helpful info.❤

      Well, l have more to say...these days it is rarely okay to agree with society. Keeping God and his principles first are the most important lessons you can teach your kids. You and Lacie do an admirable job with your awesome children! Jesus loves you and so do I!❤❤❤
