Yes! Be unique-who cares what the experts say Doug. I've always watched because I enjoyed whatever you and your wife were up to. I remember one of my favorites were you and your wife on a day hike. It was beautiful- so congrats on being the legal owners of your home place. That is wonderful. Have fun-we will be here and would love to revisit your old videos!

Doug, I did a tour in Nam in the Marines. I learned quickly that you are not promised a tomorrow. So do what you have to do in life but make sure you take the time to do what makes you happy as well. Congrats on owning the property. I am sure you will continue to enjoy it. Thanks for bringing us along.

Congratulations Doug, your face is smiling a lot with this place!!!

Sounds good! I’m along for the ride. Thanks for sharing!

Brilliant idea Doug thanks for letting us come along with you.

Thanks for a pleasant walk in the woods. Good to see you back.

What brought me to the channel was wood carving, I have since watch every video available on your channel. What I found was carving, bushcraft and family, what keeps me watching is Doug Linker. Keep up the great content do what ever makes you happy.

Congratulations, l loved spending my childhood in the woods. Glad to see you back and enjoying what you are doing.

Doug...Like ALL your previous videos - I LOVE your videos!!! It reminds me of my childhood and my explorations of the neighboring wild areas!!! I will NEVER EVER forget all the wonderful times we had playing and remembering them-and I'm ONLY 80 years old!!! What a fantastic memory I have of enjoying playing with my school friends and neighborhood kids enjoying nature and life!!! THANKS SOOO MUCH FOR ALWAYS REMINDING ME OF HOW FORTUNATE I HAVE BEEN TO ENJOY THESE MEMORIES AS COMPARED TO TODAY'S KIDS IN THE U.S. AND OVERSEAS!!! MAY THE GOOD LORD ALWAYS BLESS YOU AND ALL OF YOUR FAMILY!!!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!

Congrats on finalizing the land. Also, I've always enjoyed your variety of videos. You do your thing and I'll continue watching. Thanks for all the videos!

Congratulations to you Doug!! I’m sure your parents are very happy and proud that you are your brothers are enjoying the property and carrying on tradition. Looking forward to more carvings and nature videos.❤❤

Great video. Well made, beautiful land, thanks for taking us with you.

Congratulations Doug. So happy to see your property and your enjoyment of it.

Back in the 50's, my folks rented a small farm - Dad tried to buy it from the owner, but he was not ready to sell. He didn't sell it until the 70's -by then Dad no longer lived in the area, -time and circumstances had changed for our family. Over the decades, I have gone back to that farm every time I am in the area, asking permission to roam the woods behind the barn and up by the apple orchard. The surrounding land is now a city rural park, willed by our former landlord, with horseback trails and wild camping the major attractions. But the ashes of my parents and my brother have been scattered up by the old apple orchard. I haven't been back since 2011. I need to go once more before I die. That little farm has always been "home" to me.

So happy for you that you got to keep the land in your family. I grew up next to a wooded area as well and I know it was my happy place. I love how you and Carl both find beauty and joy in the little things that most people just walk by and miss. Enjoy.

Any one remember Doug going out on his parents land before? (now his and his brothers land). I remember him building the big bird feeder at his house and his dad wanting one. He built it. Doug is a great guy! (He doesn’t have a lane😊)

Happy for you Mr. Linker. Glad you finally have your little piece of heaven.

There is something special about owning the place your family picked and you grew to love. I live on five acres that my grandfather purchased coming out of the depression as a get away from the city. It’s was a special place to them and it’s a special place to us too! Everyone needs a place like you and I have!

Now a person could be very happy living there. Congratulations.

Doug, I like just being with you. Thanks for coming back to us!

Congratulations Doug! Having that much bush as a playground is a wonderful thing. It’s a beautiful woodlot😃

Living the Life is not a straight lane. Thanks for reminding us that The Trail less traveled leads us where we need to be.

Love watching whatever you do - you are my inspiration for taking up carving, that said I don’t do anything like you do - but I’m grateful for you being here on yt - the smile on your face showing us around your forest was such a delight to see - the original Doug how you’re meant to be - just be you and we’ll be with you all the way 😍🫶🏻👍🏻

You look happy sir. Thanks for taking us along in your journey.

Watching your videos helped me stick with carving, I also loved your earlier bush craft videos! I’m glad to see your property is official. Enjoy the bush and we’ll enjoy anything you put out!

Glad to see you shining again Doug! Keep doing what you do!

Great to have you back, it’s lovely to just have a chat as you point out stuff you find interesting.❤

Amazing news! Always great to see you happy and getting us to tag along trough the memory lane and a stroll trough such an awesome looking place!

Thanks, Doug! Glad you're back to doing what makes you happy. You make anything fun! We're with you no matter what you do

You are very lucky Doug. A whole woodland to yourself, be a dream come true for me. Thank you for sharing, fantastic to see the smile on your face.

Congratulations, Doug. That is a special place, and keeping it in the family makes it even more special. Looking forward to seeing you enjoying the old homestead!

Congratulations Doug. It looks awesome! Thanks for showing us. 😁👍🏼😁👍🏼

Congrats and I loved the camera work on your walk through the woods.

You be you Doug. We will happily enjoy your adventures!!

Beautiful pace to switch off the real world Doug. Congratulations to you and your brothers mate.

Thanks again Doug! I don’t know how you do it, but when I watch one of your videos like this, I feel refreshed as though I was out there in the woods with you, sitting on the tailgate having a cup of coffee. Keep up the good work brother.

Pretty cool how a piece of property built and sustained a family - congrats!

Congratulations on your land. You are going to Love actually owning it with your brothers. Have a blast. ❤️

Doug, I smell a Cabin coming Soon, that would be Cool, love the property,,,Awesome...

Congratulations, it looks like a beautiful place! Do what you do Doug. Carving or adventure, it has always been fun to watch.

Congratulations for finally getting the property of the place were you grew up! Glad to see you've find your way and not the one "experts" say. And by the way, I have to say that at least for me is very refreshing watching you doing different things than carving. Walking in the woods, bush, camping, fishing, hiking, trekking... whatever you feel that pleases oneself can also be very rewarding activities, at least as much as carving. Life is full of wonderful things to do. Walk your path and we'll follow you and enjoy it with you.

Fantastic views from great angles. Who wouldn't want to watch more of that?

Congratulations. I’ve been following since Doug Outdoors. I think the outdoor part is important and I’m glad to see it coming back.

How very AWESOME for you! Spending a LARGE amount of my childhood in the woods at my Grandma's house with my older brothers, it would be ASTOUNDING to own that property today, so I can imagine how GREAT this must be for you!

Congratulations Doug!

Came for the carving, stayed for you so I’d love to watch whatever you upload. Looking forward to the variety x

Great news Doug I'm with ya all the way

You have the right idea on how to live life. Nothing like being connected to nature and having your own property to do it in. Cheers!

Congratulations!! A place of beauty, peace, and tranquility, graced with natures best. And hating a cup of coffee to celebrate is perfect!

That's awesome! Having land, wooded average, is a great feeling. Congrats sir!

Congratulations Doug. You look happy. Great video. I think you have some great ideas for the channel. Best wishes buddy

Such a beautiful place to grow up in and to now own that fantastic wood/forest, wow. Doug, just be Doug, do whatever makes you happy, we’ll be alongside to watch your adventures (if that’s alright with you). You have been such an inspiration to me and I’m sure to hundreds of others with your carving knowledge, camping trips into the bush (that I especially enjoy)and equipment advice. I’m in the south west of the UK and, watching your videos I have been taken to a part of the world I’ll never be able to travel to. Thank you so much.

Congratulations! Glad to see you so happy doing whatever strikes your mood. Enjoy and I will be watching🤗

Like some one once said " Always keep land, they dont make it anymore." Congrats Doug, it looks like a wonderfull place.

Congrats Doug! I am happy for you!

The coolest thing, I think is it has stayed the same as it was when you grew up. That is something that doesn't happen often. 👍

What a beautiful property Doug. Realy happy for you all! Great video!

Great to see you enjoying yourself in the woodland you grew up with. May you find peace and joy in ‘your tube ‘ from an Aussie who loves all that you’ve done. Keep smiling.

Beautiful land! Looks very much like the land I’ve enjoyed camping, hiking and relaxing on here in Michigan. It clearly makes you happy which makes your viewers happy!

Awesome, I got my place of 14 acres too…and it’s a great thing,! You are blessed sir.

I'm a country boy that married a town girl, sure miss getting back to nature, grew up on a cattle ranch with a river, sure miss it, your videos give me a little piece of nature again. Thank you.

Hi Doug, beautiful place, looks like you got your jars of marbles, that’s awesome. thanks for sharing 👍🏼

Congratulations, I know what it feels like to own the Land where you grow up. It is a good thing to keep it in the family. 😊😊😊

Very happy for you. Beautiful land. Looking forward to seeing your whittling camp. Good to see you back.

I‘m looking so much forward to the upcoming videos … even if you only make a cup of coffee! I do enjoy it !!!!

I loved this. What a privilege to have a forest to call your own. Looking forward to more videos :)

Hey Doug, this place and woodlands are really beautiful! For sure, this is a special place. I'm looking forward to watch your upcoming videos. But please don't do what the "experts" say - do what makes you happy! Take care.

As a city kid, thanks for the walk around!! Don't listen to the EX - perts. Remember that Alec La Cassi (sp) said he DIDNT LISTEN to them an he has been HAPPY EVER SINCE!

I always liked your little movies and stuff, not just the whittling - you've made the right call I think.

Here for all the amazing adventures of doug😂 congrats you seem to found your happy place

I really enjoy all your videos. You project a calming influence, much like Bob Ross. May God continue to bless you and your family.

Good to see you so excited! The home place is beautiful . I loved your outdoor bushcraft and am happy at just watching you and your interests and can’t wait for more from your channel! ❤️🇨🇦

Wow, beautiful place brother. You are very lucky. Awesome drone shots. I would definitely watch a lot more of this.

Your property is beautiful and I love this kind of stuff 🙂 I was so happy to see you back and how you are always Doug! Keep on keepin on!

Congratulations mate, a beautiful piece of the world. I appreciate your life philosophy and enjoy watching all of your content - fishing, hunting, coffee…. whatever makes you feel happy. That you introduced me to the whittling hobby is simply a bonus. All the best from Australia.

It's great to see you again. Guess you mentioned you haven't been doing KZfaq for awhile. We used to enjoy you hiking then stopping to make tea or coffee on your twig stove...also have enjoyed your whittling. That's a great property for you to practice flying your drone. You made good use of it for viewing the flooded area of the property. We're glad to see you back. Happy flying Doug!

Nice Doug! Nice to see the open canopy spots in your woods. It allows the sun to hit the ground and give you all the variety of growth that you have there. Kind of representative of you wanting more variety back in your channel again. I second that motion. I'm not a carver. So, variety of content will definitely get me more engaged in watching your videos again.

Congratulations on finally getting the deed work completed, looking forward to it more of your videos

Great video Doug! Just be yourself and do what you want to do and share what you want. I've always enjoyed your channel. I love your older bushcraft and canoeing videos, and also really enjoy your whittling videos. Most of all I just like seeing you be yourself. That's how I am on my channel too, I just like to share my adventures and help people smile. So happy for you that you have your property, there lots more fun to be had there I'm sure. We have 2 acres but I am so thankful for it, and have lots of fun outdoors In west central Minnesota. I'll be looking forward to many more great Doug videos! Hve a great day!

Glad you finally got closure on the property! I personally love all of your videos, and us viewers are multifaceted just like you so it’s good to change it up! I’m glad you’re posting again as you bring a grounded vibe to my currently not so grounded life

Back to Doug Outside days I see. Lol I feel some super good whittlin videos coming! Congrats Doug! Beautiful stretch of land you have!

Thank you for sharing your story and awesome video.

Welcome Back! I caught the live stream with you and your wife and was so glad to see you back after your little hiatus. I love your new format what ever makes you happy is perfect! I want to Thank you for being here, I bought my first set of carving knives and my first set of palm gouges several years ago. They just sat on my work bench for two and a half years because I had no idea where to start ! then I got on the internet and searched wood carving and found your "Carve a 4" Little Man" video and I was hooked. Besides learning to carve you also gave me the inspiration to try doing my own things using the technics you showed us. So the biggest "Thank You " I can muster and I can't wait for your new adventures. New Subscriber

Nice place ! Congratulations. I also like 4x4 and nature. Be yourself in the videos, that's what we want. Hugs from Brazil.

Looking forward to watching you in the future, I can imagine how good it must feel to own such beautiful land. It was watching you that inspired me to get into carving.

I'm really happy for you, what a GREAT spot. God bless it, and you!

Be true to yourself! I'm sure most of us will stick with you and join your adventures and projects. Thanks for the tour of the woods, I'm lucky enough to have a few acers of woodland myself, so I can relate to having a getaway. Greetings from Oregon!

Great video! Congratulations on making your land official!! I love the variety of all your videos! Today I found out that the tree in our back yard is a sycamore tree and thought of Zacchaeus! lol One of my daughters favorite songs.

Thanks for sharing. It great to see you enjoying the great outdoors and I look forward to seeing what comes next.

Congratulations Doug real nice that you and your brothers were able to keep the property you grew up on , It truly is a gorgeous, natural forest. with a river at that Bonus ! , I do remember you losing your drone.
