This is what it’s all about, my friend. A day outdoors with friends, disconnected from all the madness, enjoying the simple things. I’m also glad we’ve decided to start openly talking about important issues in front of everybody rather than always when the camera is off. It’s way, way overdue. Let’s get back here ASAP and do some sifting!

VERY WISE YOUNG MEN GIVES ME HOPE FOR THE FUTURE .

It’s 2020 and I’m stuck at home alone, like so many millions of other people. The KZfaq algorithm suggests a video from someone going by WildKyle where he and his friend PaleoChris go hunting for giant shark teeth. This isn’t something I was previously interested in, but I figured what the hell. Now, almost four years later, I get excited with each new post. I’ve since rediscovered my childhood love for rockhounding, even resulting in finding portions of a dinosaur skeleton on one of my outings. Something 10 year old me only dreamed about. But it’s not about the rocks or the fossils, it’s about the adventure you take to get them. The joy of spending time with family and friends doing something you all enjoy. The things you bring home are just the bonus. Thanks to you guys, and that fire you reignited in me because of your charming personalities and friendship that bleeds through the screen, I’ve seen and been places I never would have otherwise. There are times when I actually have to remind myself that I dont actually know you😅. That’s how authentic you both come across as. I decided to write these thoughts down because of the conversation at the end of this video. About how important community is, real actual community, not the fake one masquerading as channel growth or likes. I may never meet you in real life, but I’m proud to feel like I have you as friends… even if that only goes one way through a screen. Keep up the good work, boys (and Brie😅)! We need more like you.

Mother Nature is the best drug. The only thing better than enjoying Mother Nature. Is enjoying it with a friend. I have been doing what you do for 61 years now. It only gets better. Your best memories will be of your friends. Thanks for picking up the trash. If everyone would pick up trash every time they went outdoors than in about a hundred years we would make a huge difference 👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍

I love the fact you two are not afraid of talking different things. You are so secure as young men that you don't worry about what others think. You make me proud to watch you. Your parents must be so proud of you. I thank you for. Your videos. I have told my grands kids about you. Thank you.

The woods are very healing. I'm 65+ and I watch very few people on this media. Mainly those I can learn from. Thank you for addressing this with your peers. We need a people circle of friends, thats how I grew up! I have 3 close friends in my life for over 40yrs. I have known them BEFORE internet. You and Chris need to be friends for the rest of your lives. Grow a circle of those who are there through thick and thin. The best friend you will ever know is Jesus. Love you both ❤

Yes,yes yes,young people realizing about the abuse of control..love your conversation ..it is all about building community,loving all others,having empathy and sharing. Brilliant conversation!😊😊😊

For the life of me I cannot understand people who think they need to record every minute of their lives on social media platforms. I find it more rewarding to use technology for learning! Rock Hunting and Hunting for relics in a creek is a lot more rewarding to see what someone did with their ordinary day!

I really enjoyed your conversation with Chris, Kyle. I love the finds (the marbles, OMG!!!), but we all need to reconnect. Love y'all!❤

I grew up in the 50's and those marbles brought back so many memories. Unfortunately, many moves later, I've lost all my marbles. Kyle and Chris, keep talking about the person-to-person friendships. You are so right on all counts.

Anyone else notice how Bree always finds the best treasures!!! lol

Your interlude with the philosophical comments was awesome! I vote for more of that touch in your videos. And this is coming from someone who loves your content. It is that important for all of us to hear the message that you have to share. We all need to constantly be reminded that we only get one chance to live this life and to interact with people on the other side of our devices. I have been guilty of isolating myself due to things going on in my life and not wanting to trouble my friends, but I can attest to how uplifted I feel when I let go of that and spend quality time with quality people. Thank you for the bonus touch to your video! As always, Stay Wild and Stay Kyle!

Wise words and thank you guys for talking about it. PS I appreciate you taking the time to be honest about the situation! GBY ALL!

42:08 I’m excited to see y’all openly sharing… because many folks have not witnessed genuine kinship that doesn’t require prerequisites (which makes it disingenuous). It’s going to make many who are unfamiliar with the genuine sqeamish, but be patient, they are still learning 😉

Good for you, Kyle. You reached out to many people that getting support is paramount to our well-being. I salute you Kyle.

Use a black light and shine on the marbles to see if they have any uranium in them they will glow. Pretty cool history on those marbles.

I love the philosophy. You guys have a wonderful solid friendship. I am past 70. My friendships have sustained me and I have friends that go back to grade school. We are scattered, but still see each other and communicate. It is pure gold, and I’m so glad you have that. I love marbles. I keep a small bag in my purse and cast one out, now and then. I picture someone being happy to find it. Thanks for a great hunt.

I remember playing marbles at school on a man hole cover trying to flick into the center goin on bike rides as kids was so fun

Guys, never mind what "they say" because they don't know everything. Always listen to the little voice in your head/heart. What you do brings joy, and pleasure to so many people. Thanks 😊

You and Chris should do a podcast on the conversation at the end

Could you two go on tour and talk to school kids. They’d maybe listen to you…I love that you bring up the “filtered view of our lives” . Kids who grew up with that have a hell of a time getting on without their phones.

Thank you guys for all your videos. I can't get out and explore anymore. I love the fossils, arrow heads and old bottles/relics from the past. I especially appreciate the discussions. Keep up the good work.

Love seeing you three together again. So much fun. Like seeing you mess with each other and Kyle your wild side comes out.

I love the chat you had with Chris it is important to have connections with people😊❤ I have always enjoyed your videos on both your channels. Two young men but wise beyond your years.😊❤

Wonderful and amazing to hear such wisdom coming from two young people especially two of my favorite young people. Good talk and great advice. You’re making a difference 👍🏻 proud of ya.

We want more!! we need more!! Man, luv you guys been watching your 2 channels for years now. Keep being it and more of this!!

Thank you, Kyle and Chris. You are so right about community and that requires intentionality. We also need physical contact- just a hand on the shoulder. It can bring healing and connection. I really do enjoy your wonder and enthusiasm that you bring to your explorations.❤

You young men are intelligent beyond your years! We need more young people like you to talk about the issues of the day. Many have isolated themselves in this technological world and can no longer engage with others. We need to start communicating directly. Find people with like interests and ideation. We need to reconnect, form communities, re-engage. Use your community to reach out to your followers. Who knows, how many people you can encourage to set down their phones and start a conversation? You two strike me as two thinkers and dreamers, like Emerson and Thoreau. We all need to take a walk in the woods. Really look at the world around us. Reconnect, see where we’ve come from so we can make enlightened decisions about where we want to go together!

The addiction of technology these days is awful. My daughter lives on her phone. It's so awful these days and it has caused social anxiety, because people can't face to face with anyone anymore, and obesity! People sit in one place and eat and they have lives online that they could never have in person. But I'm from the generation when we didn't have TV, or cell phones, or computers. We had friends, our bikes, and empty fields where we would make bike ramps and jumps. We had neighbors we would talk to and didnt have the crime, or drugs to worry about. I miss those days. Your honest talks and the comfort level you all have with each other, is amazing. And I know that I have no hope of ever meeting you all face to face. I live in Oregon and the PNW is a far cry from Florida, but a meet and greet and trash pick up would be awesome! What a marvelous idea! And if you all ever do make it to the West Coast, I would love to meet you and shake your hands! Your bottle finds were awesome but it's so much more than that. It's seeing you all have fun. To see friends that can hang out in the creek, like friends do! Thanks Kyle, Cris, and Bri!❤️

I've been watching your channel since you started it back in 2018. I've totally enjoyed everything that you've shared, the good and the bad. Keep doing what you believe in and I'm sure that there will always be people out there that will feel the connection. ❤

Well said, we've stopped buying gifts and instead we have a day out somewhere. Making memories.

I'm so happy and grateful that you and Cris have been in each other lives as I know how easy when you are dealing with your own struggles it can be to push people away or hide and lose touch but you two look like you are there when needed or give space when requested but when the dust settles you are back to being goofy, supportive, chaotic little buddies letting us in on your world of mud, bottles and bones.

Guys !! Best conversation ever, much needed by all of us. The bit about Harlem Gold oil capsules actually shocked me because my mom used that when she would get an infection in the urinary tract. It is so genuine to see you guys sit down and talk about things that pertain to our mental health. Thank you for including us in your conversations. This means you have accepted us as part of your inner circle. That means so much to me. We have watched you go from kids to adults. So thanks again for taking us along with you when you go to new places. Love the Michigan Rocks videos too,

I’m so glad you are talking about this. It’s absolutely beautiful!!! I definitely have learned so much from you two. My 26 and 28 year olds love you both as well. I have always picked up trash as well as looking for fossils and beautiful rocks and minerals. I’m very grateful that you guys are creators!!!❤❤❤❤

Thank you for saying what more people need to hear. I feel so much better now than I did knowing that I am not alone in seeing the danger surrounding us all. Born in 1950,I am of the generation that doesn’t want to be controlled by anyone to the extent that I see happening around me. Hold your heads high and keep moving forward

My mom was born in 1935. She was the marbles Champion in her neighborhood. She tried to teach us but to no avail. My sister wasn't interested and I still can't aim. 😊

Thank you! ❤ You all are awesome.

STAY GROUNDED... FEEL THE EARTH. LOOK UP AT THE SKY, SUN, MOON & STARS IN AWE!! 👐🌎✨🌒😍

You guys are fun to watch! In my neighborhood, growing up in the 50’s and 60’s, we played marbles a lot. But the bigger kids always won us younger one’s best marbles🫤. I still have a jar full of my old marbles displayed in my craft studio. I’m 71 and I still love my marbles. 😁

I knew there was something about you guys... Been watching you both for about 3 years. Tonight you all hit the nail on the head! Thank you for sharing what you shared!

Thank you guys for talking about addiction in various forms. It means a lot coming from “healthy” young guys like yourselves, knowing everyone deals with it

Nothing like a little fun... a little history....and thought provoking conversation. Nice balance y'all. ✌🏼

I’ve been a subscriber for a few years and I’ve enjoyed all your content. I just want you and Cris to know how much I enjoyed and needed this video! It’s a cloudy day today but this was my sunshine! A fan forever!!!!

Thank you Kyle and Chris for your honest talk about today's loneliness caused by social media. I truly hope and will be watching for more open friendship talks between the two of you!!!!

I would love to see your 22 min conversation in one video!

I feel every bit of what you guys said in the serious conversation to my core! I have been disconnecting from social media and just focusing on going out to have a good time and recording the adventure along the way - in the hopes of growing a community to get out and explore together - to essentially find my tribe. I am openly FAR from perfect - but really good at being a socially awkward nature/history/ neurodivergent kind soul! I've followed/subscribed to yall since the beginning - and have loved getting to see the" real" parts of life just as much as any of it. I appreciate and empathize the honesty and openness in regards to mental health. So many of us deal with feeling "not enough" or "too much" TOO MUCH OF THE TIME - and the more people are open about their struggles and form connection the better! Love you guys - forever a fan (and would love to do a fossil hunt some time!) - Cindy

I'm speechless! That was so wise and wonderful! Food for thought guys. Thanks Kyle & Chris! 💜 to you and Bri! Hope to see you out there on the trail or beach!✌😊

WHAT AN AWESOME COUPLE OF YOUNG MEN YOU ARE! This was by far my favorite video from ANYONE ON KZfaq THIS YEAR! ❤TN Nana

Hi Kyle, Chris and Brie great video. I always watch your channels. I just sometimes lurk. You guys have taught me so much. I hope you both continue with your channels. All of you are an asset to this world. Take care and stay safe till next time. ❤️ ❤❤

Had to come post again. Man it's nice seeing you two talk about real life. We've always loved the two of you because your content is so clear and clean. Never heard any cursing, or suggestions for bad behavior. I've watched so many of y'all videos and it's been fun watching y'all hair change 😂 It's ALWAYS so entertaining and educational. That you guys are young is refreshing and gives hope to America. We really love and care about you two... We stream on TV.. so, it's not so easy to post, but I've got a phone too 😂 Anyway, thank you both for sharing your lives with us. I don't understand why KZfaq is unsubscribing so many people, but just keep up the good work!

Hi guys! I have a couple of suggestions for you: * Get some maps, yes paper maps (gasp)! Use them to find your destinations instead of your cell phone. The world is a much bigger place than your cell phone and there are lots of things to see & do along the way! * Call people, don’t text. Especially people older than you, you might just brighten their day! * If you still have your parents, talk to them about their childhood, school, their dreams, anything you can think of. * Keep hunting for old stuff, it’s cool! * Keep loving life!

I love ya'll. Love your content. Love your personalities. And I love that you're talking about the current toxic life we all live. I deal with mental health issues myself, as so many of us do, and I love to go rockhounding. It's my happy place, my serenity, being out in nature. And I love tagging along on your adventures through KZfaq. Rocks, fossils, historical artifacts. ❤❤❤ Keep being your best selves! Stay strong. Stay awesome. Love from Michigan, Becky

Love your entire conversation! Looking forward to more.

That was a great time! Good to see the three of you!

Well done Kyle, well done Chris . Love your channels and this is so refreshing and honest. Keep talking from your hearts !

I love y'all even more now. I love the way your channels are evolving.✌❤❤❤🙏🙏

I just wanted to let you know that you are amazing and also that i love your content

I watched ya'll when u first started on youtube. I have to admit your exuberance in youth and no fear was much fun to watch. Both of you are growing up, being more cautious, judging, worrying, becoming responsible adults.. Sort of sad😢, but has happened to many youtuber channels of young men. I do hope u play your marble games, it might be the last adventurous thing you both ever do. Before worry lines, first grey hairs and your knees and back start hurting.

You guys nailed it. I have had to explain this to my young impressionable grandsons. Thank you for doing what you do.

When I saw this video was 50 minutes long, I wasn't sure I would watch it all to be honest. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire video from the adventure to the conversion. Thanks for sharing your perspective! Keep doing what you're doing guys.

Great finds ! That creek is a gift that keeps on giving

I’m 72 years old and can remember some of the great finds. My granddaughter and I make a game of who can find the most garbage on the beach. It’s fun and I’m teaching her to look down. You boys know how important it is is to look down into our history

Love love LOVE the personal content of this episode. Can't wait to see more of this!

Your conversation interlude made me feel so much hope for the future. You have years of wisdom at such young ages. All this old lady can add is... Travel. Don't be shy and travel the world. One learns so much and makes awesome connections.

I'm excited to be able to watch your conversations during your video instead of you turning off the camera. You both are two intelligent men. I thoroughly enjoyed your time of talking at the end. Looking forward in watching what the future holds for you

You guys are so right about connections and relationships. You guys are younger than I am and for you to see the difference in the world is wonderful. I’m about to turn 40 this weekend and I feel like my age group was the last group to see real connection while also being the first group to experience the decline of connection. We have seen quite a change in this world. Thank you all for your content. I’m not a shirt video girl. I love longer videos of your content like this. You bring knowledge and joy to me. Keep on being yourselves and put your content out how you see fit. Love y’all!

People who don't read physical books, don't have a real imaginative or creative outlet flick quickly through things. Tiktok has been the ultimate kryptonite to society. This is my third straight video and now subscriber. Love from across the pond,

Thank you both for telling the truth about our world today.

I love watching you guys & even more so hearing you discuss things that affect everyone's daily life without most people giving it a thought. Your country is in serious trouble now, much like us in the UK, where free speech is being criminalised. I really hope you do more of this on your future podcasts. Love you loads

Oh I’m so so happy to see y’all together!

That piece looks like part of a light or a lamp ..enjoy your friends

I love the intro 🤣🤣

Hunting artifacts and old bottles is probably the only time my son's and I really connect. Some of the best memories for sure. Keep hunting and saving history while spending time with people who matter.

The G. De Koning Tilly bottle is an counterfeit from a Dutch product called Haarlemmerolie (a miracle oil / dietary supplement made of turpentine oil, herbs and sulfur). The original company who made the oil (C. De Koning Tilly) sued this company in 1905 and won. Very rare and nice finding.

I wish MORE people would get "real" and talk about real life. Right now we're using technology to escape life! And I do it to a little myself. I see people walking around with earphones in , phones out, making no eye contact with anyone. Well, I could continue, but just wanted you to know, my husband, son and myself were glued to every word you guys were saying. God bless you both! 😊❤

Love you guys . Don’t ever change

You two are absolutely right about all you said about cellphones and addiction. I’ve worked with adolescents for nearly 30 years and it breaks my heart to see how much their lives have changed for the worse with social media and phones.

So refreshing to hear younger gentlemen such as yourself speak with good wisdom and inspire others to be engaged with others on a personal level. Wish y'all much continued success and look forward to your new adventures. Great creek explore and loved seeing the finds.

Need more of these videos

Awesome, it's great to see everyone back together again for an amazing adventure! ❤😃

The only way is to be outdoors. It clears your mind and puts a whole new perspective on life. It's hard to explain but its there. I've lived my life outdoors , I know. Thanks.

I am 71 and I agree with what you are saying.

I wanna hug both of you. And Brie. ❤ So much I wanna say, so little organization in my brain …. Therapy is great, be it traditional or alternative (with great care and caution!!). Connection and groups can be so helpful there, too. I‘m my group therapy with goof people. It is so rewarding and feels good in a way that only connection can bring.

The band's back together.

You guys got it right.

Always loved your creek adventures. From the excitement you have with every find to the children of the forests and creepy dolls you have always made me smile. Enjoyed coming alone with your adventures and hearing your stories and music. Thank you for being a rock in this crazy internet stream…look forward to many more adventures.

I love that you've all found your lost marbles! Clearly Chris has lost the least! I love that very real Convo you had. A lot of creators are stopping or breaking from creating due to the mental health issues. It's very sad. I love the content from outdoors where I can't be and that it's making people I find so incredible, sick. That makes me sad.

You three are my absolute favorites, Young men who so love what you do ,out there enjoying every adventure .I love rock hounding myself ,awesome memories with my Dad when I was young,then later with my mum ,sadly both have passed recently. Oh Bree is a n amazing finder of cool stuff .Im from Australia ,victoria and there are some beautiful places to find treasures I love being out there in nature ,The stress is gone ,more young people need to do this ,Cheers and have lots of fun

I know you have a lot of comments, but I feel I need to say this. I’m glad to hear your views on social media, I grew up without any technology. We had friends and community, but as years pass by this has gone. I really enjoy your conversation. We used to play out, and have adventures everyday. If we did anything wrong, and we were seen, we’d be in trouble when we got home. Everyone knew each other, and would talk , and if you needed anything you could always find help. I enjoyed your finds and your conversation. It’s so nice to see Bree and Chris, and the connection you guys have. Thank you guys

As a person of a “certain age”, I appreciate your approach to societal issues. It’s great to think about life from a different perspective. I love how aware you and Chris and your friends are! And, as a person who lives alone, I appreciate you talking to your audience. Thanks for all you do! ❤

I love this content, you have hit it on the head. The decline of humanity and respect for each other.

I forgot what it’s like to have a best friend. Lol y’all literally flow when you talk. It’s wonderful. 🙂

Wise beyond your years. You are truly learning to live the way you were meant to live. Please continue to share your thoughts and experiences with us. There are many treasures that you can look for and find, but the true treasure is the journey.

What a great adventure. I love marbles. I wonder who lost their marbles.?😅😂 good visit thanks

There is a old saying it takes a village to raise a child. I believe this. In the old days kids where left to play but it wss outside. Everyone watched out for each other an their children. We need his now in our life time. Peoples in the old days maybe just twenty to thirty years ago visited with each other.

We love you both

Love everything you both said. I am 57 and left teaching early because technology got it the way. I believe you are the next generation to help with change

Yes indeed stress relief

Hey Kyle, I'm so glad that you and Chris are on KZfaq and talking about important things. My boys are 20 and I fear for their social lives because of Social media! Online gaming. One of the twins have made friends online but rarely goes out. Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you. I'm glad that there are young people concerned with this issue especially two young men. As a mom of two young men, it is a concern and hopefully my guys will see you or people like you and be inspired. I know you inspire me and I love watching your channels. I love learning. At 55, I still am learning and never plan to stop. Love you both. Keep up the good work. Hugs. Proud of you. 😊

Good for you all! Get the kids outside! Big Apalachicola Forest Cleanup every Feb. after general gun season ends. Just missed the 2024 one, but we gather at the end of Rivers Rd. off Crawfordville Hwy. Yall keep promoting good and hope others join you
