Born & raised-so darn proud to be a YOOPER! Beautifully done.

The UP is home- from the Soo Locks to Copper Harbor. Great grandpa born in Osceola ( tad south if Calumet). Always ate fresh smoked fish, sweat in saunas and pasties. I knew a man at the bottom of Lake Superior- Bless The Fitzgerald. Keep Detroit where it is!

It took me 49 years to find the UP . Now I am counting the days until I can become a true Yooper. This land calls to my heart and soul like no place I have ever been to. Great documentary

Awesome video. So glad KZfaq randomly reccommended it. I have lived in Lansing Michigan my whole life. I love our state. Love Detroit. Love the UP. My favorite places I ever have ever been are whitefish point and Taq Falls upper and lower. Route 2. Soo locks. A pasty !!!! This was amazing. The editing production value. Like professional. Wish this had 10 milliom views. Love Michigan!

I have lived in the central U.P since 2002 this beautiful place I will always call home ❤️

I was just telling a guy last night how much I loved my home state of Michigan. He was from Indiana LOL. I was away from it for many years in the military. This time when I came home it was for real. Love it here. I fought for it, I'll die here. What an incredible place Michigan is in comparison to the places where I went overseas. I will never leave here again

I've made it a point to go up to the U.P. every year since I was 19 for grouse hunting. I'm now 59. Lot's of great memories made with dogs that are now long gone but not forgotten.

I was born and raised in Northern Michigan, but unfortunately not over the bridge. It's funny, tourists will come to my area (Charlevoix County) and tell me how beautiful it is up here, and it's nice to get away from it all. I always tell them that if they really want to "get away from it all" they've got about 50 minutes North for that.

I went to a camp in the UP as a kid. That's the true up north lol. I bet it's cold as heck and the winter stays late and comes early! Good meats to eat all around though.

JUST GOT BACK FROM THE U.P TRUCK SHOW, WE LIVE IN LOWER MICHIGAN AND YOUR RIGHT THE YUPPERS ARE VERY VERY NICE, GOOD PEOPLE. THANKS FOR THIS SHORT FILM.

New England holds my childhood, the UP holds my soul.

From the LP and I hardly leave the state when "vacationing". The UP is a whole world of it's own. So much to see. What a beautiful place. And nothing beats fresh water!

I still watch this. To this day ... Often. Thank you ! I am so proud to say I recently took my wife and 3 kids to the UP. Went to Taq falls. Whitefish point. Drive on US2. Had pasties. It was amazing.

The 2nd week of deer camp brought me here!

Awesome video I moved to Marquette in 2012 from lansing. Still one of the best decisions I have ever made.

I am not from Michigan, I moved to S.W. Michigan in 1980. I have always loved going to northern Michigan. My first encounter of the UP was in 1996, truly Gods Country! I don't get up there as much as I would like. My dream is to live there. Thanks for the wonderful reminder of what I love.

Great shots, great sentiment, my only nit-pick is the phrase Detroit and the other half of Michigan, the UP. There are quite a few miles between SE Michigan and the bridge, and I'm not saying northern lower is the same as the UP, it isn't, the UP is a distinct and beautiful area separate from the lower, but at the same time Lower Michigan is not all about Detroit.

I watch this video when i miss home! Im from Marquette and Ishpeming and the places in this video I grew up playing and spending time there. Like the break wall out to the light house i would sit there and skip rocks and watch the waves with friends hammock on the island or watch the ships come into harbor and unload there ore. Lay on the beach and look up at the stars or look for petoski stones!! I love the video man and i cant thank you enough for making this! Love your work!

I had a round trip flight from Minneapolis to Boston and felt as though I were flying over a land of bays and inlets, of water and islands. An amazing flight that flew over the UP and was intrigued by the fact that someone could walk on a virgin beach for miles and miles nestled by a wilderness. I so much want to go there.

just got back from Paradise in u.p,vacation a week up there every year,have been all over the country, that area is the most beautiful place I've been!....

I lived in the U.P from 1969- 74, left when I was 16. a lot of good memory's. My sister still lives there.

If you travel through central UP, stop at a town in Marquette County

Actually moving there to get an abandoned farmstead and start an animal sanctuary. And escape the crime down here. I LOVE the snow, cool summer nights, the lack of road noise, the sparse population density, the little local stores. A different way of life to be certain. You don't need a $25,000 side by side, a $12,000 snowmobile, a $40,000 boat to enjoy . Those are for the FIB'S. A good used sled,Gator, canoe, and Jeep.

I'm a Michigan Native and proud of it, what a beautiful state and all its wonders. Pure Michigan!!!!

I live in lower michigan but just came back a few weeks ago from u.p its so beautiful and people are very friendly

I’ve watched this about 10 times and it leaves me in awe every time. The U.P. Is by far my favorite place to be.

Moving back in 2 weeks! Will be great to be home, there is no place like the UP, eh?! Thank you for sharing.

I'm a troll, I live under the bridge. Please don't hate me for that...lol. The upper peninsula of Michigan is so very, very beautiful and diverse. It's precious as well as the people. It's just one of the most unique places...it's ..paradise, I want to go back again, again and again.

I remember going up to the UP camping when I was a kid. We camped out at Bodi Lake and also the Big Two Hearted River. Awesome times there!

Thank you for making it and "Hi" from Whitefish Bay Paradise, MI

aw, this is lovely. Thanks for doing it. It made me smile to see "home"...I'm from Calumet, but y'know we claim all of the U.P.

Planning on moving there or land o lakes wi this next year from belvedere Illinois. It's so ancient up there. A time long past forgotten elsewhere. It's an outdoor paradise. Low taxes, affordable property, low crime, excellent minimum wage, BUT, you must love the outdoors and the weather. Snow is no joke, forest fires, be they rare do occur, and mosquito is your friend.

Beautiful job! Love the footage. Every time I leave the UP, I leave my heart behind...

Great video! I've lived here all my life and sometimes forget how amazing it is and don't appreciate being here. Thanks for the reminder!!

A good video for "Pure Michigan!" I'm what uppers call a low lander. Michigan is far more than automotive

This is the most amazing Video. I have been back so many times. I live in Lansing, Mi! My favorite part of living 40 years in Michigan is the UP is just a few hours away !!!! Thank you so much for this !!!

906 all day man!

I like this video. I totally feel like the UP is a place that hardly gets noticed!

PARADISE...MICHIGAN.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

You got that right, eh? When I was up the a number of times when I was still in MN I thought it was great. Some day I hope to make the trip again.

Went last year with a friend. October. Perfect 👌. On my mind every day. 🥰

Great film I'm not from Michigan I'm originally from Illinois but I grew up in Northern Michigan I've Been here for the last 46 years and my three girls were born here and I'm so fortunate that I was able to do that I now live in the u p now everything you said in that film is 100% On Spot once you've experienced Northern Michigan and the u p you can never let it go thank you for sharing that short film with us Tim

Awesome documentary. I am a down-stater, (Grand Rapids...yes...BEER LOL) but boy do I love the UP. Especially Lake Superior. I have hiked, sea kayaked, camped etc all around that beautiful Inland Sea. I will be thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail next year, beginning in February. I'll v-logg my journey for sure. P.S. I just subscribed, clicked the bell and hit the like. I can wait to see what you put out next.

Well done! U.P. born and raised. Love it here.

It's beautiful here, come see this part of God's country.

WELL DONE......From a Yooper Sister!

I love the UP

My fave place to unwind. Michigan UP is like a world of it’s own.

Really nice film! I'm a Michigander, and love THE UP! Such a great state! Just a note from an audio professional. Your music is too hot, and drowns out your dialog. If you drop your music by 5-10 dB, it will be much more pleasant for your viewers.

Beach fires, that's cool to know you can have them!

I almost don't want to see documentaries on it, because Ive been dreaming about moving there ever since I saw a photo of it 20 years ago, a pine tree on a big dune, and the blue blue water of the UP. Then I made a friend from Michigan, and it keeps reoccurring to me as a place I need to go. Little things about it over the years, would come up, and I have this list of reasons I want to go there. I love wild places, and from what I gather people are nice, laid back. Seems like a great place for an introvert, like me, to find a cabin, to enjoy, and create things in, explore woods/beaches. I hope its not fully discovered before I make it there, and still sleepy, and lost.

Beautiful video 🥰

Parents born and raised in the UP. Was just back to visit Pictured Rocks, Keewenaw Peninsula, Michigan Tech Mineral Museum and the Porcupines. Always amazing to visit the UP. Nothing beats Lake Superior. It’s just too bad that the economic conditions remain so bleak for so many across the region. It’s been like that since the 60’s.

The UP has always been GODS COUNTRY to me ,and my wife, until I retired.

This is so good. I have watched 3 times now.

I from from outside of Boston, Ma., but gave been living in the Houghton area for 30 years. Yes, you are right! I have raised my kids here, I cant think of a better place. I have earned my Yupper Badge.

Thank You, I miss my home.

Beautiful work.

Beautiful views from the sky to underwater shots. Very nice video short for the unspoiled beauty of the UP. Plenty of camera ready views in Northern Michigan south of the bridge too.

Great film.....beautiful Michigan!!

Great job Tim!

I live in Central Lower Michigan 30 miles east of Grand Rapids. I have ridden, driven and flown our Upper Peninsula. I came close to moving into the Newberry area years ago. I'd still like to get a place up there. I have been all over this country. No where beats the beauty of the U.P. . NOWHERE. As much as I have been up there as said in the video..one needs a lifetime ( and then some..addition mine ) to fully explore and appreciate it, it's history and the incredible people who call it home. I might add very blessed who call it home. An extremely well done video and tribute. Hope to get up there again in a few days when I start my vacation. Thank You for doing such a wonderful job on this. Doran Jaffas Central Lower Michigan N625MS update..My wife and I made it up over Labor Day. Toured the Locks and just drove around and saw some sights. ALWAYS a good time.

ya eh gonna go ride with the boys this weekend out back in the bush.

Great Vid.. I've been following you for a long time and had no idea you were a Michigander! I've lived in Michigan my whole life and feel blessed to call it home. Keep up the good work 🙏

Beautiful place 🇺🇸

Beautifully done

HAPPY "906 DAY!" (9/06/19) I see that you spent some time a TMOTHR (leaving that abbreviated so as not to spoil that wonderful secluded spot!)

❤UP

yes we both were raised in the up , but now in s,carolina with daughter son in law and great grandchildren and grand children always a place in my heart

No place on earth I would rather be than the U.P. Great vid brother.

I live in Michigan this is the greatest representation of Michigan especially the locals

loved this video. i'm from the lower, but visit the UP often. so peaceful and one can really appreciate God's beautiful creation.

Awesome video. subscribed and thank you. I always wanted to visit that area. I probably wouldn't want to leave. I also love the history of the area and great lakes.

Awesome video!

Michigan is really the best state out there!

Beautifully done brother!

Epic!

And take a sauna. 💙

HOLY WAH! Great job on your home town story aye! You forgot to tell'em to watch out for da BEAR-WOC'S!

I am from Rudyard and I live in Alabama. I Pray I can go home before I die!! I am so homesick! I plan on a visit this summer and I may just stay!!

Cool video I live way up in Calumet

It takes 3 lake earies to = a lake suppior love it up there💙🌻🌼🍁

the great lakes... versus the lakes in georgia..... one is like a summer pool while the other is an ocean.

I am originally from the up(Little Lake area) still think of myself as yooper. Great Job in this Video

Hey Tim! Excellent video! If you're ever back here again, let me know. I'd love to meet up and shoot! -fellow U.P. creator

This was awesome I ❤ UP

Once a yooper always a yooper

✋🏼 🖤 beautiful video.

now that's a son-of-a-bitchin short film

SAY YA EH !!!

Nice video

Awesome video ! Love the U.P.

In my heart too!!!

BEAUTIFUL! Do you remember where that beach was in the opening shot?

you know Derrick Harden? he is family!!

Tim, at 1:20, is that the mouth of the elm on agate beach?

I make it a priority to go camping in the U.P. at least once a year if not 2-3 times a year and have been doing so for over 10 years now. The only negative about visiting is going back to that hellhole I call home(Ohio)...for now!

I’m proud to

Is this some of the shore line footage of the Mouth of the Huron River

Your funny if this playlist is for me
