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!

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

Will be looking forward to some autumn videos of your place with the color changes. Thanks for your creative style and works.

i really love your videos. carving has become an important part of my life thanks to you. i give away so many carvings, spreading the joy even further. thanks so much.

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.

Welcome back Doug! So awesome. I'm jealous of how fulfilling that must feel! Keep it in the fam and congratulations. That new drone follows well! Gorgeous biodiversity

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.

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!!!

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

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.

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

Love your videos, Doug! Great to see more variety and its all relatable to like minded folk so keep 'em coming! ✌️

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. 😊😊😊

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.

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!

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😊)

you own a forest Doug!... life doesn't get much better than that in my book 😊. Love your plans for future videos... look forward to them.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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!

Good to see you again Doug. Congrats on the name thing - that's great. Yeah, you be you and we'll be watching because your content is fun. Hey, the new drone did it's thing nicely!

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! 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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

What a blessing...May this property bring you tranquility

Great vidio I love to carv all tip of wood.I am 72 and love your work .👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏😀

That's awesome Doug. Well deserved I'm sure. I cannot wait to see what you post from these adventures. I'm like you with so many different interests, and I only listen to myself when it comes to persuing them. Keep on keepin' on. You are an inspiration good sir.

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 Doug. Very happy for you.

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

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!

Thank you Doug. I'm gonna stick with you, I like your nature oriented direction.

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. 👍

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 😍🫶🏻👍🏻

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

Congratulations, really nice scenery and very happy for you. I like your ideas, so move on, enjoy life your way! Thanks old man and take care!

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

Congratulations on the land!! Dream your dreams big or small, I’ll look forward to and watch anything you want to video!! Enjoy yourself to the fullest!!

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

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!

Im very happy for you doug, you make what you want and we will always watch. Thank you

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

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.

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

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! ❤️🇨🇦

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

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

Doug, I can tell you did a lot of weed eater work. its a hard job . Thank you for the visit to the forest. I hope you make more videos there.

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

Glad to have you back. This video makes me so happy. And also thank you. Mainly because of your original videos. I have taken the step to getting out and making my own. Solo Cycling camping and eventually some carving. Now I just have to get to editing. Such a pain.. ha ha

Great walk Doug. We need more nature videos.

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.

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

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!

I love this! grew up in the country, sometimes we lived on Lookout Mountain in Northwest Georgia and these woods reminds me of my upbringing

BLESSINGS AND HAPPY FOR YOU CONGRATULATIONS!!! ' BOUT DANG TIME!!! 🕊🙏🙏👍🤗

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 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.

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!

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

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.

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

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!

Loved the video Doug, and a mix-up of videos, that's great.....you do you Doug!!!

I'm not jealous at all! No, really! 😉 Congratulations, sir, it looks an awesome space. 👍🏻😁

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

So happy to see that you’re back and the life style you live is parallel to mine ,always been outdoors and have even been called woodsy. It’s your life and not the experts.

Well done Doug , glad everything is sorted now 👍

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