  Moose are not to be underestimated, especially in the rut.  While I was on this trip, my friend's dad nearly lost his life to one.  Long story short, his hunting party shot a bull moose with three arrows.  The bull charged him, knocked him down, and then raked him with its 52" rack.   His partners bravely distracted the moose and it finally fell dead from the arrows that had struck it.  My friend's dad had severe blood loss causing him to temporarily lose his vision as his two hunting partners urgently worked to evacuate him.  He made it to the hospital just in time for them to save his life.  This is not really my story to tell, but I want to make it clear that these are not docile petting zoo donkeys.  Their power is incredible so give them space and respect.

  I love how you humbly called yourself out about overreacting to Erin one time when she lost the net and your self reflection about the situation, admitting where you were wrong. You're a good man. God bless you.

  Your monologue about nature and it's fragility was heart felt and real - she is a living entity comprised of all the creatures roaming around on her back - Thanks dude for bravely saying what needs to be said. Cheers.

  When I clicked on this and saw it was two hours, I was like “yeah, don’t think I’ll watch much of this”. And here I am, two full hours later....This was incredibly well done. Great movie! I really can’t say enough good things about it.

  I am 68 1/2 ears old and love the earth, especially the north country.  Your videos speak to me and I thank you for them from the bottom of my heart.  Your words echo my thoughts.  I have felt the same as you since I was a boy exploring the Boundary Waters Canoe Area and the Quetico PP.   Your wisdom and insight bring tears to my eyes now.  I hope we can save this planet, not for humans but for all the other creatures that have no say about their future.  I have come to think we humans are a lost cause, and the last 5 years have really solidified that opinion.  Yes many care, but so many more have no clue and appear to be beyond the reach of reason.  I fear the ignorant will win out.  Maybe a plague will take us out (or most of us) and we can do it better the second time.   I can only hope.  For those creatures that cannot speak for themselves.  Thank you.

  It's so ironic how good of a feeling you get, being open and alone in the wild, all while knowing or not , that the environment your in, does not care at all about you and your feelings.

  Great footage. Beautifully filmed. You are really turning into a  fine filmmaker . The moose, the drone shots, the beauty of the fall, the story ... made for a great Friday night show!!

  When I saw the length of this post, I thought I’ll never watch it all, but it was an amazing video, never missed a minute! Documentary quality, that should be shared with all.  By the way marry that girl! She’s a keeper!
