@@js-mv7ly yes.. i did put money on this account and someone went into my bank account and tried to get 4 transactions ,i had to call the bank and hot card my account .
Is it just me or does off-grid living produce more creative, focused and dedicated children. Nice to see Dave's family! You guys sure do a great job with your kids!
Like Rose said: I can send the kids to school on a bus and I won't see them for 9 hours, the we have 3 hours together and they go to bed. Homeschooling the takes 2-3 hours and they can do what they want for the rest of the day. Win-win!
@@jamesreeves4600 what's your problem dude its a way of saying that it touched my heart I'm a big guy and not fat and not the type to tear up over a video it was ment as a compliment
This is the original 4 wheeler. It takes guts, maturity and foresight to turn out as good as this kid. Good job mom and dad. He has earned his respect by others.
Silas should consider starting a CZcams channel focusing on dog sledding...what it takes to grow a team, build a sled, history of dog sledding, interviewing some of the elite sledders. The YT revenue from the channel could help fund the cost of his adventures until he can become self sustaining should he choose to make a career of it. And the snarky tall supporter at home could be a regular guest with added entertainment. 😉
Jeff: "Powerful and dangerous. I've been called that before." Silas: "Not by me." Such a Dave comeback! Great video...I teared up at the end. Good luck in the big race, Silas!
Being from north queenland Australia where its midnight and currently 27 degrees ☀️ this looks like great fun. Set something up so we can contribute and really get you set up to race , because its gonna cost...and I'm sure there are plenty here that would love to help , that's what it's all about 👍
I knew this was Dave's son before I read the comments. The mannerisms are precisely the same as his dad. This 16 year old is very mature, by todays standards. I wish you luck in your dog sledding adventures.
I was just thinking, "he seems a lot like Dave", when Hot Dave appears. This young man's demeanour seems very appropriate for someone working so closely with animals - calm, interested, smart and interesting. Nice vid, thank you.
That was great it's so great to see Family's close and together. That's a great way to bring children up. You could feel how greatful he was to get 2 more dog's. Good Luck 😃 God's Blessings on all your adventures
25 years ago I too read Gary Paulsen's book "Winterdance" and was inspired to build a dog sled out of snow skis and 2X2's that my two huskies pulled. Had a lot of fun for a couple of years, but never took it any further than that. Congratulations to this young man!
Hope the young man does well and keeps at it. Your off grid families seem to produce some of the most balanced Children! Keep doing what you are doing.
Yes we would love to see some coverage of his adventure and some updates on how the training of the new members of the team are doing. I love that he built his own sled. I love the independence of the youngsters your growing over there!
the majority of todays 16 yo of the electronic age will never experience what this young man has already , and your children will be prepared to handle any challenges life throws at them , and i suspect they will have an off the charts sense of humor which is most important .keep the videos coming ,smiles are always enjoyed here in Nfld
Dave, I’m sure there is money to be made sledding. There’s vacationers that may pay for sled adventures, there’s rescue or survey missions he could contract out for. Who knows, the opportunities are endless. He could even write his own book. “Whooo let the dogs out?” By Sledding Silas
I was thinking along the same lines, like delivering supplies, packages or parcels to those that have problems getting out or just don't want to in the winter. Best of luck to Silas. This was a year ago, do we get an update Jeff?
Keep us informed if a Go Fund Me site gets set up. Lots of us would love to help him along on his life's path and we may miss out on giving him a hand up. Great video and a great surge of pride in Silas and his calm demeanor. Yup, you grow 'em fine up there in Canada!
Great fun listening to youth express their dreams and goals and always great to see animals and humans working together. Those dogs bred for pulling sleds are happiest pulling sled,. I am sure I saw smiles on their faces as they ripped by the camera. And I am sure the young man is never happier than when riding sled. Amazing what a good book can do.
It is so cool to see a kid with a healthy passion. Love the sled. I think Blaze King needs to step up as a sponsor for the dog team Thanks for sharing.
Happy Birthday young man. I look forward to watching you run in, and WIN the race next winter. It would be great if Jeff would show some videos of your training the dogs over the next year in preparation for the race.
Very good video! Thanks for sharing! I was given the opportunity to go on a dog sled ride when I lived in North Pole, AK - It was a beautiful experience! What fun!
Love your videos , I’m excited for Silas , you can tell this is a passion of his and something he gets excited about , I’m hoping you will share more of his story when he goes to the race ..... Keep up the great videos 😃👍
This environment is the only place to bring up young children, being outside doing stuff, not sitting in your room on computers , fresh air getting the exercise your body needs. Living life as it should be. 10 outer 10. Guys. Love it
Dear Rose and Jeff, thanks so much for all your videos. It’s really great getting to see such an outstanding family and all the great activities you and your young ladies take part in. It was also great to see Dave and his family as well. I wish all the best to all the younger set out there. And you, not so old folks too. Looking forward to seeing your garden this year. You have put much work into it over the past few years. Just getting ready for the gardening season here in Saskatchewan, but I’ll be doing it in the garage for now. We are supposed to get a blizzard tonight and tomorrow. Cheers from the Prairies eh. ❤️
Great story!!! Great parents!!! You can tell the book he read started a fire in his soul that will last a life time. It is so refreshing to see parents encourage there children like you all do.
It was great to see such a genuine and affectionate display of love and appreciation, at the birthday gift from his folks. He also seems to have inherited Dave's modest sense of humor. "I come in 2nd, when the dogs want to run."
Thoroughly enjoyed this video ! Do I possibly see some future videos featuring Silas and his team in training ?? and then definitely racing ??? Silas, Happy Birthday and many more ..... enjoy your future .,.,.,
I have said it before and I will say it again. This family is filled with such interesting and talented people and then there is Jeff. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂we love Jeff also.
What a coolkid with cool dogs. You guys are definitely doing it right out there❤ good luck on your race I hope y'all can livesteam his WIN! (I'm speaking it into existence)
Ok, I’d love to see Silas participate in the sled race! I do hope there’s updates leading up to next years race... And congrats on getting 2 more dogs! How exciting!
If you’d like to support Silas, here is a link to his go fund me page! gf.me/u/zny6vy
thank you
I would support, however not on an unsecured and open internet page.

@@bunnygaffney2765 This was from GoFund Me?
@@ShoshannaGodber yes
Is it just me or does off-grid living produce more creative, focused and dedicated children. Nice to see Dave's family! You guys sure do a great job with your kids!
It’s amazing the creativity that can emerge when you have to make your own entertainment.
Home-schooling.
@@delavan9141 I have no doubt. My GKs are being home-schooled as well and I see the same things in them.
Its due to Parents raising children not schools raising children.
Like Rose said: I can send the kids to school on a bus and I won't see them for 9 hours, the we have 3 hours together and they go to bed.
Homeschooling the takes 2-3 hours and they can do what they want for the rest of the day.
Win-win!
I am a 230 pound construction worker and I teared up when he hugged his mom so much joy this is the best Chanel on CZcams
What are you saying your weight?
@@jamesreeves4600 what's your problem dude its a way of saying that it touched my heart I'm a big guy and not fat and not the type to tear up over a video it was ment as a compliment

That's a great idea.
This is a brilliant idea! We will subscribe stat!!
The look on his face when he found out he was getting two more dogs was priceless. We could call him possum cause he was grinning just like one.
What a loveable young man! How could a person toss a few bucks his way????
Jeff: "Powerful and dangerous. I've been called that before."
Silas: "Not by me."
Such a Dave comeback!

Chris Wills - He sounds a little bit like his dad, too.
Looking forward to the live stream if you can make that happen!
That was great it's so great to see Family's close and together. That's a great way to bring children up. You could feel how greatful he was to get 2 more dog's. Good Luck 😃

I just love these two families.

You can see the intelligence in Silas' eyes and he's a Total Doll on top of it. Wow! I can't wait to see him run that race!
Just love the interaction of the dogs before they take off to go on a run. This is fantastically entertaining. Thanks for posting this.
Hope the young man does well and keeps at it. Your off grid families seem to produce some of the most balanced Children! Keep doing what you are doing.
He just wants to go fast Jeff! Not fiddle mush! 😆
Yes we would love to see some coverage of his adventure and some updates on how the training of the new members of the team are doing. I love that he built his own sled. I love the independence of the youngsters your growing over there!
you need to help him start up his own youtube channel, so he can get some sponsors for his team

Lets get Sledding trending
@@baronnashor158 it's slowly taking-off in my neck of the woods in my area in northeastern Ontario.

Set up a pay pal or some other way to direct deposit. Leave out the go fund me middle man - who takes a cut...
@@SagebrushLongshots Good thinking! I wasn't aware of the dreaded middle man sticking his/her grubby fingers into the proceeds.
@@SagebrushLongshots That's a good idea. Too bad I didn't read your comment until after Silas set up a Go Fund Me page!
@@ShoshannaGodber Nothing says you can't do both.
Videos from this Utube channel never fails to excite me.
Lots of love ❤️❤️❤️
“Powerful and dangerous, I’ve been called the same”.
“Not by me!” Ha ha ha!
Classic put down!
Cracked me up 😂😂
Love the video guys keep up the great work... And Dave you'll have to give him some of your socks so he can stay warm during his hundred miles LOL

Happy birthday Silas and best wishes. I like the idea that he has courage of dog sleding good age to start as well. good luck in the near race buddy.
Loved it.. my kids want to know what kind of dogs he has. Gotta be careful what books we let our crazy homeschool kids read!
Too true about the books! All of his sled dogs are Alaskan Huskies.
WOW! Thank you for sharing this! Love him and his relationship with the sport and dogs!
What a great kid. He’s adorable and smart and focused and kind.
He seems to enjoy mushing. I wish him good luck in his endeavors.
It is so cool to see a kid with a healthy passion. Love the sled. I think Blaze King needs to step up as a sponsor for the dog team Thanks for sharing.
Great story,, wonderful 16 year old,, good luck,, hope you place high.. Loved it...
Awesome video as usual. How can we support this young man dream. Can you set up a go fund me page?
Such an amazing young man. Looking forward to seeing him race. Keep us posted. Blaze king wood stoves should sponsor Silas.
Jeff, you’re such a good interviewer! Is this Dave’s son? He sounds like Dave. LOL I see Dave now....so cool!
with his full 6 dogs, his light weight and young age, he's gonna fly by those other teams !!! good luck
i do like ur videos but this one touched my heart it's full of love ..from Palestine wish u all the best ...
Happy Birthday young man. I look forward to watching you run in, and WIN the race next winter. It would be great if Jeff would show some videos of your training the dogs over the next year in preparation for the race.
Cant deny the wet eyes when he opened his card! Would love an update
Wonderful. I had sled dogs for 25 years....but no sled. It is wonderful to see his parents involved.
This sounds like a movie in the making! Great video, good luck Silas with your dog team. Looking to more sledding videos.
Very good video! Thanks for sharing! I was given the opportunity to go on a dog sled ride when I lived in North Pole, AK - It was a beautiful experience! What fun!

Amazing ! Young people with goals . . . a realistic plan . . . and the gumption to go do it!
Happy birthday Silas!
Go Silas! and Happy Birthday!
Your videos are Always interesting Jeff !!!, Happy Birthday young Silas 👍🐕👏
That dog sled that Silas and Dave made is awesome! Perhaps that is leading down a possible career path!
I love how varied the interests of your kids are. And because of that, everyone learns.

This is one of those unmistakable aspects of a true Canadian spirit. Love it! 👍
Happy Birthday young man! Excited for you and your future. It's great to have supportive family and friends. Nice job Jeff!
You are doing a very good job at raising your children. This is very impressive for a 16 year old. I hope he will become a son in law to you.
nice lovely video ... kinda like a prequel to 'the call of the wild '
Great story!!! Great parents!!! You can tell the book he read started a fire in his soul that will last a life time. It is so refreshing to see parents encourage there children like you all do.
Dang got some dust in my eye just then.
Saturday morning is Gridlessness morning! Thanks for a great vid!
He had a dream, and now a goal. It is encouraging to see his family support him in what he enjoys doing. I am looking forward to a follow up video.
Very interesting video and good luck to Silas in his dog sledding. God bless
"Not by me" BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
That was a great story thanks for letting us all know about this fine young man !!
Glad you enjoyed it
Happy birthday Silas! Love the epic
May God bless You, You Family, and Your Work!
Well, get that "go fund me going" I'm sure he would get a dog pile of support. 😁
It was great to see such a genuine and affectionate display of love and appreciation, at the birthday gift from his folks. He also seems to have inherited Dave's modest sense of humor. "I come in 2nd, when the dogs want to run."
How exciting and happy 16th birthday Silas!! Good luck and blessings on your dog mushing endeavors.
Great video! Happy birthday Silas!! Now it’s time to start the dog hunt.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video ! Do I possibly see some future videos featuring Silas and his team in training ?? and then definitely racing ??? Silas, Happy Birthday and many more ..... enjoy your future .,.,.,

Ok, I’d love to see Silas participate in the sled race! I do hope there’s updates leading up to next years race... And congrats on getting 2 more dogs! How exciting!
When the boys grow up it will be like having three DAVES ! They even sound like Dave.
CAN NEVER BE TO MANY DAVES!
I agree!
