I think this may be the most wholesome outdoor film I have ever watched. Its hard to narrow down a favourite moment but seeing Griz catching fish on the river bank with Fraser Jade on his chest was a top notch dad moment! Congratulations to everyone involved in putting this together!

Minus the fact that he’s exploiting the outdoors for clicks and likes … always a little pathetic to see

@fargonefilms Ай бұрын

Just the opposite actually! Griz was fully living this lifestyle before we asked him if we could tag along on his adventures and make a film with him. Our hope is to inspire more people to get out and explore their own local wilderness and see what it has to offer them!

Another great one from Fargone. This guy gets it, protection of the environment, foraging, finishing, instilling a passion for nature in his kid and filling the freezer. Personally, I think my favourite part was harvesting the two elk, especially cause it was his buddies first. That is a memory that will last a life time and its awesome when you get to share it with someone.

My new favourite outdoor film by far! Love the wholesome family moments and your core values you share through the land as well as your passion and hard work for sustainable living. My partner Scott and I are expecting our first kiddo any day now and my favourite part was watching you guys share your core values with Fraser and immersing her in your lifestyle right from the get go. We are very excited to get out with our little peanut this spring and start the adventures as a family of 3 and share our sustainable lifestyle with our kiddo and teach them so many valuable life lessons through nature like you guys have.

Best part, hands down, was the scene that started at 18:38 with a tailgate diaper change just before you took him fishing. As a dad I have countless tailgate diaper changes while exploring out with my family and I've come to learn that the most memorable family memories are those spent outdoors. Keep it up. This film is inspiring and you've clearly dedicated time, energy, and resources into mastering all the small little skills that add up to being able to provide for your family.

You guys totally rock! Im so glad that there are people in this world who are humble and appreciative of the world that surrounds you! I live in the country and totally live off what god gives me in the wild as much as time allows me, including my two cane corso's. Including your child is totally awesome! I did that with my son, and it's totality a jump start in life for the kids at every angle imaginable. My son adapts and overcomes every crazy weather change and he is a outside person. It's about being disciplined at every corner of life wherever your at! Good luck! I appreciate your content i truly believe people need to see life as it comes.

OMG... You guys live life according to a set of values that really resonates profoundly to me. Those rivers, woods, flora, animals, fishes, the smiles on your faces and the tranquility of it all give me trust in humanity and that it is possible to make a living in the wilderness. Favorite moment is absolutely when you find/stumble over that first buck you shot! That was emotional - eyewatering. Nothing is worse than hurting an animal like that and knowing it is out there somewhere hurting, struggling and dying on its own. Thank you for sharing!

You know I think a lot have people have commented about it but I really related at the beginning when you had you the wife and kiddo on the ice and you were talking about how you want her to have the same love and drive to be outside and do those things as well. I am a few short months away from having my first kid and I have been so excited to do the same with him. I want him to have the love for the outdoors and respect for the animals and I want him to want to harvest animals and live off the land. The outdoors is my happy place and I hope that it will be his as well, my dad has been one of my best friends and I hope that it will be the same for my little guy when he gets here. Phenomenal film!
