Thank you for all the kind comments :) I post fairly regularly on Instagram if you want to keep up with me that way. Link is above. Then you'll know I'm not dead.

We appreciate if you sit and talk or take us for a walk or a drive or a hike... don't stress...we just love anything you show us.

Brooke…..to quote a wise woman….get outside and get happy. 😊 The breaks make what you post special. Thanks.

As a grumpy 85-year-old man living vicariously on KZfaq. I really appreciate what you and your family put out there.

You taught me how to pray To THANK. Instead of constantly asking. I find myself thanking for the tiniest things I never think about. I realized that the Lord already knows what I need….. I don’t have to ask, He knows best. It changed my life. ❤️

Please, Brooke ... I'm sure I speak for many of us as subscribers-Enjoy a bit of "time away". You've definitely earned it! No apologies needed and we'll definitely be here whenever you release more content. (Dave needs to know this as well ... downtime is healthy for all of us.) I usually drop whatever I'm doing to watch what you, Dave, Ryan or Mick put out. Some of us need to focus on our own journey and appreciate all you do for us. God Bless you all! P.S. Our apples here in the "Mid-Mitt" did awesomely well! The deer love it :) Maybe Apple Smoked Venison is on the Winter menu? Later! 3:20 Please enjoy all the "quality time" you can with your Mom ... I just said Good Bye to my Mom ... She went home into Eternity and to be re-united with Dad. Don't miss out, Brooke!

We're an easy to please group of Girl In The Woods viewers, never apologize for taking a break and catching a breath, you already put 100% into all you do, you don't owe us a dang thing. Love ya Brooke, enjoy some Fall and create some joy for you ☺

I’m a firm believer that God orders our steps. He’s got you covered, no worries slowing the pace. Prayers and lots of love for your Mom. 💗🙏🏻

Brooke...I come here to spend a bit of time WITH YOU. I don't need to be entertained. When I watch your videos it feels like I've dropped by to spend some time with my friend. So thank you for being here...as you're able. I love sitting around the warmth of a campfire with you...and da'Wolf and your sweet little Moose. 🫂🌹🫂

As someone who was the primary caregiver for my parents up until they passed, I understand that your time is precious. I love campfire talks, campfire cooking, 1st bites lol, and praying 🙏 Thank you for your prayers. ❤

I like your dogs. I like what you cook. I like how hard you work. I like your vision. I like how you decorate whether in a tent or a cabin. All the little touches that make it home wherever you are. And I love that you are a fellow believer and thank God before you feast🙏❤️

The videos with your sweet husband, Dave, are such a delight. Watching you both work together makes my heart happy. If you could, bring us more videos of you both working and enjoying campfires and outdoor cooking together. God blessed you with a wonderful husband. Cherish every moment you have together because it can be taken away in the blink of an eye. You both stole my heart when I watched you offer a prayer before every meal.

Yes Brooke we all need our downtime, so please don’t apologize for doing what you need to do to be able to take of yourself, mentally, physically, emotionally, and most importantly spiritually! Slow down, take time for yourself…we’ll be here waiting for your next video…so women get outside and get happy!! As always thanks for sharing!

You are a great inspiration to me! And I love that you are open about your faith.

Don’t let all of your life’s stresses build up - you have a lot to deal with, so taking time for yourself makes sense. That is much better than burning out. Staying available for your mom is a priority, so enjoy that time with her. We viewers will survive without your videos, albeit with less enjoyment, but we’ll be here whenever you’re ready. I really enjoy your honesty, the down-to-earth thinking and the ways you express things, and your willingness to try things you haven’t done before in front of an audience. I enjoy living in Michigan with all it has to offer, and woods are what I enjoy the most!

Hi Brooke. So good to hear from you again. You have your priorities in the correct order. GOD, family, country and then maybe youtube. you're awesome and very inspiring. God bless you all.

Always take breaks! And never feel like you have to explain to us! But also thank you for doing so 😊❤

The fact that you are willing to admit that you needed a break is admirable enough. You need to take care of you first! 🥰

We don't want you to overdo. When you need a break, take it, we will be here when you feel like filming something. It really is OK. Take care of you.

Take time for yourself and your mom. I really enjoy your nature videos. Your little campers and your pure pleasure of the outdoors. Life happens, and no one needs to know everything. Hugs😊🐾🐾🌲🍁🍂

My favorite video was when you and DaWolf went to the cabin on your property during a blizzard. Just watching the coziness and simplicity was so calming and peaceful. I also love to see you cook and such when you’re home. There’s just something about you. You bring calm and peace no matter what you do. Love you, Brooke. Stay well my friend. ❤️

Take a break when ever you feel you need to. We are all human and have our own needs. We will be patiently waiting. Don’t feel bad about taking time off.

Hey Girl! So good to hear your voice!!! You are so strong I can't imagine even lifting those big logs. The campfire was real special. Sending love and hugs🙌🌲🐶

You and Dave have inspired me so much. Want to take this oportunity to thank you for all the content and inspiration. I`ve got so inspired by you guys that I`d purchase a piece of land in Spain, and just moved in. Updates to come. Thank you so much :)

Hey Brooke, take all the time you need. I found your channel when my life was chaotic and you were bunkered down in a small cabin in the snow with da woof. You have always been a comfort watch for me as I wish for a life closer to nature. Although I am in awe of the things you can do, I like your camp-fire talking to camera videos best. A reminder to slow down, appreciate what you have, and to get outside. Thank you

IT is OKAY ! Nice to see you and hear your voice. Do whatever you need to do. We will be here.

You are an inspiration...all blessings to you!

❤ I simply love your channel. Don't worry. It is always worth the wait for new videos, especially the building stuff, the bonfire Videos and the ones where you go places. Everybody needs a break to take care of themselves, it is simply human. Most of the time its in the breaks you get new inspiration, isn't it? 😊❤

I'm always saddened that content creators feel stress about getting out wkly vlogs, etc. I figure, & I can't be the only one, that I'm subscribed & when I get an alert I'll watch. In the meantime, I have tons of sh*t to do myself, so I just live my life & then watch when you share. I thank you for it, too! What a blessing! Peace all!

You've inspired us to start the hunt to purchase raw land. You're mom is in our prayers as well as yourself and your family. We understand. ❤🙏

So glad you are taking care of your mom. I just lost my dad after caring for him over 22yrs. He had Alzheimer's, fell and broke his hip. But also had artery disease. But the fall took him away. So I understand how much your mom means to you. Thanks for everything you do in life and interacting with us all. Much respect to you.

"Girl"---Breathe! Love you & Dave...and the pooches! Your "getaway"---is our getaway, of sorts. Our parents age. We age. We take care---to take care. We wouldn't have it any other way! God Bless.

Just spending a few minutes like this with you is enough! I think I speak for the majority, we appreciate anything you share with us. Just checking in so we know all is well is appreciated.

People love you, your personality and what you're all about. You could have a long silent video and we feel we are lucky to just be tagging along. We will like whatever you produce and share because we love you. xo

Take care Brook, we are all here for you, no matter how long you take filming, kind regards.X💕🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Amen to your prayer for blessing to those who is watching

I am just glad you're ok. Being busy is a legit reason to take a break from filming.

I really enjoy both yours and Dave’s channels, Brooke! I was a daily newspaper graphic designer for 40 years. I understand the pressures of daily deadlines and they did me in. You have to take the time you need away from it. We’ll still be here when you get back to us. You and Dave, please take the time you need. God bless you, my dear!!

I don't know how you have done it for eight years woman! Amazing! I am glad you have taken a break, and I hope you continue to take more moments to enjoy your beautiful life without having to film it. Whatever brings you joy will be the best content. 😄So if you ain't feeling joy, time to fill up your own joy bucket first, and give yourself some quiet time, then the inspiration will come. I just love spending time with you virtually, you inspire me with every video. So whatever you do, I'll tune in. That being said, you asked, now...this may be waaay past where you are in your interest level, but I am an old lady, just considering my first baby steps back into camping, hiking, the wilderness, something I loved as a younger person, but got away from. I am not a joiner, I'm an introvert, so a local club won't work for me. I would love some videos covering any tips, tricks, or techniques on how to get back out there solo and have fun again, without fear or trepidation, or feeling the fear and trepidation and doing it anyway. I need some first steps. Hugs and admire you so much!

Your videos were one of the 1st outdoor, camping videos I started watching about 2 yrs. ago. You inspired me to camp with my dog alone. I'm 60. Thanks for all of your hard work. Keep it fun for you.

Hi Brooke. What I love about you and your channel: your faith, your doggies, your courage and strength, your sense of humour. You inspire me. One day I will realize my dreams of owning property, God willing. Prayers to you and your mom.

I’ve taken a few breaks myself and felt guilty about it but I’ve learned to just let it be natural and it seems to work out! Lately I’ve been posting weekly and I like that schedule for now :) Girl just enjoy life and happy to hear from you! Awesome fire 🔥

Thank you and your family for inspiring me to get out more. I'm 78 and go camping, I love all the camping adventures you have taken me on. Love you all.

Hi Brooke. I found you after finding your husband's Bushradical. I have to tell you how much I enjoy watching your videos. I am almost 77 years old and was an 18th century reenactor for over 30 years. I have since retired from Living History but watching you outdoors and the campfires brings me back to those wonderful years. Thank you so much.🏕

Thank you for sharing evening grace with us. I look forward to it! Lord, help keep this girl safe, happy and humble. Let her keep sharing her life and experiences with us!

Brooke, don't worry about your channel. I believe we are all sticking around for your next brain storm. Little storm, big storm, doesn't matter. And it doesn't matter when. Just when your timing is right. You are easy to listen to and kind of calming sometimes. We love you and your whole videoing family. We appreciate you. Maybe you could tell us if you are planting anything. Have you built a "root" cellar? See you later.

I enjoy the way you embody feminine energy and power. Watching you harvest the logs & peeling the bark for the cabin build, was truly amazing display of energy. As you testified, I appreciate keeping the videos fresh and meaningful.

Thank you for taking the time out of your busy life to let us know what's going on. Taking care of yourself and your family comes first and foremost and we understand and we will all be patiently waiting here for your next video, anxiously waiting to share your next wilderness journey with you. Take all the time you need honey, life's been of a bit of a obstacle course for most of us for the past few years sometimes we just need to stop and clear our heads and do what's right for ourselves. When I was so sick from covid-19 in 2021 your videos sure did get me through those dark scary nights. We know that you appreciate and love us as we appreciate and love you so God bless.🙏🥰😻 P.s. I'd like to honor the memory of my cat😺 Black Sheep who used to stay up at night watching your videos with me. He passed away last week at 7 years old from a freak encounter with a snake after sneaking out, and I'm having a hard time getting over losing him. So to anyone going through something God bless you 😢

Prayers to you and your mom during this time. This video was more than sufficient. Just a few shots of what you’re doing and a chat around the fire is perfect.

A reminder that we all need to take a break is something we can all use. Sometimes life gets so busy, you forget to take time to appreciate what has been created. Thank you Brooke for all of your videos.

Little Moose is just the cutest little fella. Gotta love him. 🐶

Praying for ur mom 🙏💖✝️

Everyone needs a break! Good to see you. I love the snowstorm overnight in a cabin videos so much…. So cozy😀

I find it amazing, Your son is one of my favorite you tube channels. I had no idea you were related till he hit 100,000 subscribers and thanked you.

Definitely don’t apologize for not posting. You’re living life to the fullest & that’s what’s important. You with the Jack pine is me with red cedar☺️. Pastie looks yummy. Sending lots of healing vibes to your mom. Hugs and love to you. Stay awesome Brooke❤️❤️❤️

You are a blessing and a joy! I thank the Lord for you and your family ❤️🙏❤️✝️

I love all your content, cabin builds, renos, trailer builds, cutting wood, building campfires, cooking, canoeing, live chats , and heart to hearts around the campfire. They’re all enjoyable. I’d love to see more canoeing or kayak trips or maybe some hikes around your property. Just get outside and get happy. You definitely make all of us happy, and for that, I thank you. Sending healing wishes to your mom.

I love just watching you camp in different places! Love the fire, food, the dog, and your words. I enjoy watching you work on projects as well. I find your content relaxing and I really appreciate your hard work. I also appreciate you taking care of you, so do what works for you. ❤

We enjoyed your update, and I agree with those that said don’t worry. Life happens, things change. My 92 year old mom calls it “the new normal”. She just got a pacemaker and I feel blessed to be available to help out when necessary, even though we live 800 miles apart. I’m glad to see you are putting family and your health first. I’ll be praying for you.

It’s ok to step back, reflect and regroup. I get outdoors vicariously with you and Dave when work keeps me too busy to do the real thing. Thank you!

Girl you give us something to look forward to when they are slow coming out. It’s all good. Will be praying for you and your mom.

Brooke, you do not owe anyone an explanation; you have a life other than Utube, you go girl you are an inspiration to all of us. MGBWY God Bless🙏

We love all that you do. Thank you!

Don't Worry Be Happy! 🌲🌲 🌲

Well the thing is, you are creative in so many ways. I think artists feel boxed in if they only get to pursue one creative outlet. That's just my two cents. I am an artist, and after I did canvas piece work at home as a job ,I didn't pick up a brush for like ten years!! I enjoy your videos whenever you can get one out...:)

I loved your adventure down the river with your friend. I love your builds. They are so unique and whimsical. You don't take the easy route when it comes to your builds. I love your name. When I was young, I wanted my name to be Brooke. I love how you are your own person, fearless, strong, determined and down to earth. And I love that friggin' adorable pup. I feel the stillness of the forest, hills and rivers in your videos. It brings me peace.

Thank you for your authenticity! Appreciate your sharing your prayers and meals with us.

It dropped into the 50s here in Arizona recently. Folks brought out their winter gear! I grew up in Michigan and still laugh at them. I appreciate that you are a believer. May God bless you!

You owe no apologies to anyone!! First, do what you need to do for your own self care, and then do what you need to do for your family❤. That’s what’s most valuable and important in life. Anyone who’s chill enough to follow your channel would certainly feel the same❣️❣️

Life happens. Middle years where you are sandwiched in between your adult or almost adult children, aging parents, and coping with your own health really are tough. Drop a line (or a video) when you can. Even a shorty to let us know how you are. You have made some great stuff. Don't be sorry to take time for you.

We so appreciate you and your channel. It is so wonderful to have awesome, wholesome, Godly content to watch. We love watching you as a family and totally understand your need to take a break. I am thankful for your candor and self awareness. ❤

I’m sorry about your mom 🙁 hope she’s able to get better. Sending strength & love ❤️ glad you took a break! Thanks for updating us ❤️

Don't stress about taking time for yourself, we will still be here. Family comes first, as one who is also a caregiver to a parent I can honestly say there are days it is more intensive than a full time job.

Brooke, I enjoy your channel. Your adventures take me home. I'm originally from Northern Michigan. I left in 2011 and moved to Oklahoma. My dad had 10 acres of land east of Gaylord. When my step mom sold it after he passed away, I had no where to go and commune with nature. Sure I'd go to the lake or go for a drive but then I was injured and could no longer handle the weather of Michigan. So watching your channel, you take me home to the woods I enjoyed. Having said that, everyone needs a break to recharge. Life happens and you cannot avoid it. Just watching the fire, I imagine I'm sitting next to it. God bless you.

We love it all, it doesn't matter what you post. ❤ prayers for your mom xo.

Amen Brooke! We’re here for you. Take care and God bless!

Thankyou for the update Brook. Too much on your plate. Hanging out in the woods is good medicine for you and us. It’s OK!!! We will be here for when your plate isn’t so full.🥰👍

I love you cooking by the camp fire, hearing the crackling fire is so soothing and also seeing you just cutting wood and stacking it. The wilderness scenery is so relaxing. It doesn’t have to be much,it nice to sit with you and relax. It does so much for all of us..

The thing I like the most about you (and your husband Dave) is how real, normal and genuine you are. keep up the good work .

Gosh. I just started watching your channel a couple months ago and binge watched past videos. You have inspired me in so many ways. I often wondered how much pressure you must feel for this. This real honest video is so beautiful. Prayers to you and your momma.

Girl, this was so refreshing. I loved, loved, loved your prayer and giving honor to the Lord for your blessings. And as far as needing a break after so, so long...you do you, girl!

We appreciate you so much! Thank you for keeping us posted on how you are doing! Praying for You, and your Mom!God Bless! 🙏🕊️🙏

This is Bobby from NJ. Thank you for doing a great job!

Thanks for ALL you do and share! No need to apologize for taking care of yourself!❤

I love watching you do exactly what you did in this video. I live vicariously through you ❣

Hey Brooke! It's good to see you. ❤

Thank you 🌲🙏🌲

You’re mom is in my prayers as well! 🙏🏼

Hey Brooke! Glad you're taking time for you.

I love watching your outdoor activities. The small cabin and the A frame are my favorite locations plus the walled tent and the way you decorate are amazing. Just you and moose spending time outside. I’d love to be able to do the same but at 76 I’ve missed that time. Take care of yourself first though.

Thank you so much for always being open and vulnerable. It's beautiful and inspiring to see. Prayers for your mom and family and you during this time and always. Thank you again for being a light in this world.

We will be here whenever you post. Sending healing vibes to you and your Mother!! Hugs all around!!

Hey I’m here for you when ever you post. I love your content. Your simple sitting by the fire with your dogs, camping and cooking by the fire is so relaxing to watch. I love watching you building things as well. It’s ok to take a break. I see you found the hairy man. 😜

Your so knowledgeable and I learn so much from you. We are building an off grid cabin in Maine. Yes you have done so many different things and builds that a break is needed. Don't feel guilty, self care first. We'll be here for you when you're ready. Life goes so fast the older you get so enjoy it now.❤

I absolutely love your videos because you are right there in nature and you sit down and talk to us. Your videos are genuine. I also love that you pray before your meals. Love your dogs too.🤗💖🎄

You are awesome in every way. We appreciate you. Period. Thank you for all you inspiration.

I'm perfectly happy with some fireside chats, your stories of times past, and sharing some campfire food... as long as you throw in some Moose and Woof moments 😁

I joined you in your prayer and say Amen. Thank you for your encouraging words during this difficult time. Yes, God is able. Keeping you and yours in my prayers. You are loved sister in Christ Jesus our Lord.

❤❤ a good time out in nature is a must!

Getting ready for winter !
