Brooke Whipple, Girl in the Woods & ALONE Talks Moving to Alaska, Off-Grid Cabins, & Survival
Welcome to Episode 14 of Baird Country, where we dive deep into the remarkable life and adventures of Brooke Whipple. Brook's popular YT channel is "Girl in the Woods" and she was on both ALONE season 4 and 5! Join us as Brooke shares her extraordinary journey from rural Michigan to the rugged landscapes of Alaska, where she and her husband Dave Whipple carved out a life in a small log cabin while raising their children. With tales of battling forest fires in Montana, caretaking in the remote Aleutian Islands, and her gripping experiences on the survival series Alone in Mongolia and northern Vancouver Island, Brooke offers invaluable insights into resilience, self-reliance, and the beauty of living off the grid. Tune in as we uncover the secrets behind Brooke's remarkable story and her unwavering spirit of adventure.

Jim, that was wonderful as are you. I have watched your(and Ted’s) channel and enjoyed your content! I only follow a few wilderness channels. You guys and Tori and Heather are awesome. Brooke is my girl. I have immense love and respect for her love of nature and for her fun loving yet audacious spirit in tackling projects that would take some several men to compete. To me, you are all wilderness legends. Thank you all.

Nice interview with valuable information and not just for women but anyone seeking something different. I'm older but it hasn't stopped me from trying something new, "You can't teach an old dog new tricks---yes you can, the difference is, does the dog want to learn?" I'm anticipating the log cabin video from Brooke, everything she does she sticks with it with determination.

Brook, you filmed one of my favorite videos. So much so, I shared it with my husband. Which one? The A frame when you couldn’t get the window/side to close. You tried and tried and tried to close it, adjust this, unscrewing that. You forgot you tied a rope to hold it up. It’s my favorite because it’s something any of us could easily have done and have! Thanks a bunch Jim, Brooke and Dave….love your channels!

Brook should of stayed in her first shelter and the Baird bros didn't have a good shelter at all. So good to hear Brooke's adventures. I think Brooks raft trip is on KZfaq, I have watched it. Every kid that liked Huckleberry finn always wanted to build a raft...cheers

Loved watching this-rewatched your season to re- fresh memory of it all. Would be amazing if you had the father and son team's from your season ( or the other bro to bro teams) on your podcast to compare familial experience. They were so humble and sincere. Would love to hear their after story. Feel like it would be important to hear.

That was a great interview! I love Brooke's 'Girl in the Woods' KZfaq Channel. I think I have watched all her videos, some even more then once. I live in Michigan and love her Upper Peninsula videos. Her passion for nature is contagious. I have loved nature my whole life and she inspires me to love it even more. I say, 'Get outside and get happy' often.

Brooke so sorry. When you talk about that property in Alaska. I still can not let go of what to do with the Bunker. Just me. I know. No big deal. But I would still say that the Bunker is such a huge asset there. I get it. Not in your plans. Sorry can't help it. Take along some 6ml greenhouse grade (high carbon) plastic, frame a 12 pitch roof - just rafters - with left over logs ~ smooth all the surfaces then cover that with the plastic and you'd at least have a greenhouse kind of setup. It might be cold in the winter but the 12 pitch roof would shed the snow. Just saying. 😜

Are you two aloud to write a journal of your own experience from ALONE, including details left out? Or is that intellectual type property that you can't own. Also, to the winner of ALONE, vegetable broth was probably required since your body had been deprived for so long. Gradually, introduce food to your system. Don't re-shock it.

.. But being limited to a small area with no resources for optional foods ,, i.e. seeds , other possible game in other areas etc. ... not to mention the show runs through the toughest seasons for food gathering ... Food is actually the suffering part ,, all could create a shelter , some much better than others .. leaves mental toughness to endure .. for some more social , not easy ..
