We are same with our adult grandsons with car or motorcycle problems as husband a brilliant mechanic we help them if they are trying to help themselves but never much financially that's their parents job

When I left the US, I gave one car to my brother-in-law and the other to a nephew. My job in life is to help those whom I care about. Family helps family. Could I have added some money to my bank account? Sure. Would I have felt better with the money rather than the hugs from my family, absolutely not.

Yeah, but flying his son down to him and letting him drive up would make a lot more sense to me. My back hurt just watching that.

I was raised by parents the exact same way in principle! Mostly by my mom and grandma who lived with us. Dad preached the same but did the opposite, he always said do as I say not as I do! Now the tables have turned and I just had to tell my dad that he can’t come live with us! I’m flying out Wednesday to Mississippi to help my sister evict him from her property and he thought I was flying one way to help move his rv to my place in Tennessee! Since my mom passed he has been parked on my sisters property living in his class a rv, he blew through $250,000 dollars in life insurance and is now talking bankruptcy so she is ready for him to go b4 his coach gets repossessed and it’s even harder to get him gone! I turned the tables and used his life lessons that he gave us back to him! I told him that if he had invested the money and or used it to pay off all his debt including the coach then he wouldn’t be in his situation, but letting him move into my house with no means to support himself ( his social security is eaten up by a brand new truck payment and insurance) is a dead end to solving his problems and he needs to figure it out and get stable b4 my wife and would even consider letting him stay awhile. Cause right now it would inevitably be be more than a while and he refuses to let anyone look at his finances or listen to recommendations like selling the truck paying it off and using the rest to buy a used vehicle with cash thus freeing up $1200 a month that could go towards rent or a small camper payment! Being a kid of a father like that was hard, but being an adult and dealing with your father like that is hard enough without making it ten times worse!

@@Noneofyourbusiness2000Mickey does t have the experience driving those roads like Dave does though… I’m betting that had a lot to do with his decision to drive up himself… that and he gets to see how Mickey has really come along with his cabin and property… 😊

Same empty feeling when that happened… take care

I took it that your friend lost a wire and therefore had empty house much of the time ... must have been a wonderful lady

Dave, you are one special Dad! Your “take two” had me in tears and concerned about your friend and/or Mich! You and Brooke are the first UKposts channel I started watching years ago and you both have NEVER disappointed me! Your love for nature, for each other and family, your work ethic and getter done spirit capture the American Attitude! As a Michigander myself, I am proud of your supportive your son. God Bless You, Dave and Brooke!

Yes, goodness.❤

Dave .. your life advice is spot on! Young people today live in the moment and don’t seem to plan for a rainy day! If it weren’t for my parents helping me I might never have made it to the ripe old age of 66! I miss them terribly! Mick has a great life coach in you and Brooke! Sometimes I think your down to earth common sense look at life might be what our country needs! Maybe you should run for president! I would vote for ya!!

He's living the dream really - would love to make that trip one day just for the adventure of it. Glad he can help his son out, I wish more people thought like this. I can honestly say I've given a car away to someone before which is a good feeling, I could have made a buck on it but the person was in need...supposedly. My heart was in the right place though.

I get excited when Dave or Brooke post a video. They're always top notch! I can't wait to see them tackle the "new" cabin in Michigan.

He is spoiling his punk ass kid

Small car? Everything is relative I guess 😊

@Snowsey A Pontiac Vibe is a small hatchback, looks like a stubby station wagon. Everything is relative, but it's objectively small.

He's not being a good parent by running to your kid's rescue

@@janehilt1376 I take it you don't have children.

I AGREE. 100%!!! DAVE & BROOKE ARE GREAT PARENTS❤❤❤

We do too...

Mick is a spoiled ass punk

He is spoiling his kid

We are blessed, so we try to be a blessing to others...

Good to see those buffalo are still there. Drove that road in 2022 and reall enjoyed the wildlife along the way.

They're actually bison, not buffalo.

I really like your Buffalo Talk and footage! Winter Canada/Alaska wonderland, beef jerky and cashews road snacks! Excellent final editing and summary.

What's his brothers channel name?

@jaredgibson7462 black spruce last video he put a kitchen in an off grid cabin.

He's spoiling his kid

@@janehilt1376 not

I have autism so I don't always express myself the best but I just think you're amazing. You seem like a real stand-up guy I'm subscribing and we're going to check out what you've got going on.

He's not a wonderful father by coming to his rescue, let the kid live and learn

@@janehilt1376 - What? your parents never helped you out in a jam? Sucks to be you

@@colin8532 No and that's why I'm not a pussy!!

@@colin8532 Must suck to kiss ass to mommy and daddy 😂

Absolutely

​@@Bushradicalleave it......don't take it back. Buy something else for yourself. It's not like the car shortage there will go away for the next couple years. And if you take it back that's 7500 miles worn on the vehicle for nothing. Leave it.

I think you summed it up why Dave is s special

😍💙✋🏼🌅

My dad helped me a lot too. I’m going to call him right now. Thanks for the reminder :)
