When Dave drops a video I drop everything and tune it.

Bushradical is easily one of my favorite UKposts channels. Thanks Dave!

This is a great format for you Dave. You are a great story teller. Very entertaining and interesting.

I can't wait for More Stories in the Woods at Night. Listening to Dave tell stories is magical.

I got a story for you Dave! I did it! Sold the house, bought some vacant land in the UP. Youve been an absolute inspiration! Its taken a few years but the planets finally aligned just right enough to make my move. In a previous video, you said, "I don't have ___, but I have land" You have no idea how hard those words hit home. I'll never forget that comment! In a short time, cabin will be built, but for now I'm clearing the living space by hand just bcuz of the freedom I feel. Picked up a wall tent. Its amazing, by the way! Ect ect ect!! Would have preferred to send you an email but to keep it brief, I have to say "thank you"! Your videos have dramatically influenced a strangers dreams!! I salute you brother!! I feel pretty damn "radical"!!

I love the cabin builds and project videos, but this format is where Dave really shines. Great video!

As someone who lives in a chaotic city- these videos from you and your wife are life savers for me. You’re both so gifted at so much more than cabin building. 🙏🏼

Being a fellow Michigander, your stories really strike accord with me, I love em! You make me miss the old Michigan I once knew as a kid growing up there. Not easy to do, at age 59, way too cold and cloudy for me now but love the stories.

I've been watching you for 2 years now, I live in Minnesota and I have built a couple of small cabins just like you. And I really inspire your videos, everytime I get that notification on my phone that bushradical posted another video I'm excited to sit back and enjoy. Thanks for everything you do, I'm sure you love ur job!

Love the video! If you have ever sat by a campfire and talked with friends and family you know how comforting this video is to me. It's raining and snowing in Michigan today so it is a perfect time to spend around Dave's campfire!

I was lost in the woods once when I was a kid. I was about 12 and my grandma lived out in the middle of nowhere in Arkansas. When our family went to visit, I'd spend all day in the woods. There was a decent sized creek that ran through it, but the nearest neighbor on the other side was probably 15-20 miles since the paper company owned all of it. One day, I went out early, crossed the stream and went in search of an old, grown up road that used to be part of the Trail of Tears. I had hiked there with my parents, and I knew roughly where it was. (I'd say it was a good 5 mile hike, at least). I found the road no problem, but coming back I decided to take a detour to find the remains of a house that had burned about 50 years before. Didn't find the house, so I started back towards my grandma's. ..at least I thought I did. I probably walked another 2-3 miles w/o seeing any landmarks I recognized. Finally, I stopped, having no idea where I was. All my senses were pointing forward, but I knew I should have been back by then. The only thing I knew to do was to find the creek. I turned around and walked until at last, I heard water. I knew which direction the creek ran, but it was running the wrong way from the direction I thought I was going! Against all my senses, I turned and started walking upstream. I finally got back to my grandma's. It was a good lesson of how easy it is to get turned around. I always carried a compass w/ me after that.

So calming...love the stories by the fire. You & Brooke are a breath of fresh air.

Excellent, Excellent, Excellent Dave! I could listen to you all afternoon! Your tales of adventure are epic! 'Thank you for sharing them with us! Liz from Ontario, Canada

I'm a MI girl and your channel has been a favorite of mine for years now, along with your wifes channel. Both so grounded and level headed. The world needs more people like you and your wife!! Love listening to your stories, never stop making videos!

This was awesome! I feel like storytelling is a lost art! Thank you Dave for sharing these educational, funny & scary times that you experienced! You & Brooke are so entertaining! So happy you both are on you tube!!!🤗

Thanks Dave for the great stories. You have a natural way of telling your stories, it keeps us intrigued. It would be fun to do more of these I know you have at least a thousand great stories to tell. As a kid I hung out with my grandpa and his buddies. They would tell stories from the olden days, the big war etc... Tonight I realized I missed hearing those stories. So please do this again. Stories by the Fire. I'm sure there our a lot of us fans that would partake. God Bless

Love your stories Dave! You're such a good storyteller! Would be awesome to see some of your grandparents old slides...

So great, Dave! What a wonderful way to turn a simple brush burning chore into fun for thousands! I love campfire tales under the stars, really any gathering of folks around the kitchen table, story telling at libraries, any chance to share tales of your life or family stories is just such a gift. I can't believe you've only been at this for five years! You're videos are beautifully made and the content is always informative and a treat. Thanks, its been a pleasure. 😊

This was soooo enjoyable! What a great time hearing you "talk story", Dave...thanks for sharing your tales! 😊

Dave, I absolutely loved this! It was like I was there! Gotta add, you & Brooke are still my absolute favorites! The dark, the fire & it’s sounds enhanced by your stories!

Back in the late 60's I hitch-hiked up to Alaska, down to Kenai and up to Fairbanks and back to Northern California, I was 18. I have never before met such genuinely nice people. Rich people want to tell you about their trip to Europe and all the great cities they stayed at. I earned my great adventure the hard way.

🔥🌲 ABSOLUTELY Love stories by the campfire! You and Brooke have a wonderful knack for storytelling and such terrific stories!! Thank you for sharing!🌲🔥

I could sit around a bon fire and listen to your stories all night. You have lived a very adventurous life and your videos you bring us on your journey's and am glad you started this channel.

Your channel Dave is always worth the time to hear someone who's been there done that,and I know that the Lord has watched over you and Brooke in your many adventures and travels .So keep us updated,the both of you and we will be watching you through the winter and we will pray for you alls safe travels and upcoming videos.

Love listening to your videos. Always good to hear stories around the camp fire. You and Brooke are so relaxing to listen too.

Need more of these Campfire stories, Dave. Love the detail & your sense of humour 😂

What amazing stories. Thank You Dave for the adventurous stories and the laughs 😂.

Thank you for this video Dave!! These stories are great. I can relate to them all. You should get your brother to tell the beach swim story from his perspective LOL

Hey Dave,I loved this video man. I was laughing my butt off at the first one and could've sat here in my chair listening to your fireside stories all night long. Thank you and God bless my brother.

Awesome stories Dave! I was sitting right beside you at that campfire, totally enthralled with your experiences! We all thank God that he created you and Brook to allow us “wanna-bes” to live vicariously through your experiences!

More of these type of videos please Dave. You are such a good story teller that I just sat there listening right through.

"Were just gonna walk the beach back" Famous last words lol

Love your stories Dave! You should do this every week!

This was really neat. Just hanging out with you and listening to your stories. Well done and very calming. You Sir should make videos telling stories. Perfect setting at night in front of a nice warm fire. Please do more like this. Really enjoyed it.🔥🤗

Love the campfire story time. I need a hot chocolate and a nice fire to go with it. Would love to see you AND Brooke do something like this too. You guys are fun to watch - together and individually 😃 You're a good storyteller my friend 😄 Thank you!!

Could listen to your stories all night. You and Brooke are great!

I get the idea that Dave is exactly who you think he is. Just a super nice guy with a good work ethic, a sense of adventure and lots of common sense. Interesting, Real people are interesting to watch. Thanks for being you, Dave!

wow you are an amazing storyteller, keep it up! God bless you with many more unique storys and adventures ;)

👏 👏 👏... believe you have found a new reoccurring series... BRAVO (...chuckled through this whole video) THANK YOU for sharing!

Thanks for the drop, Dave. This is better than the Vikings game!

I’m sure you don’t read the comments Dave but I just wanted to say thank you for all the work you put into these videos. They sure are relaxing to watch on a Sunday evening. 🙂

You are a great story teller Dave.

This seems like a very pleasant way to spend an evening. Just sitting around a fire telling and listening to stories. Thank you for sharing your stories. You told them well.

I like story time with Uncle Dave. You need to do more of these!

Stories around the campfire are the best ah!

Love: real life night stories by the fire camp site, Thank you :-)) what a treat for this sunday !!

Thanks for doing what you do Dave, your video's are awesome, may God continue to bless you and Brooke and keep you healthy and free to live your amazing lives.

Loved the stories by the fire... Thank you for sharing and the laughs. Blessings to you and your family.

Hello from Wisconsin! Those were some awesome stories Dave! You and Brooke are so inspiring and you should know that both of your voices are very calming, add some nature to it and you've got yourself a great video!

Loved the campfire stories, Dave. You had us captivated! 😀

what a great story time. best 42 minutes sitting around and having a drink. 🍻

You’ve got to do another campfire chat video again. I was glued to the screen the whole time. 👏🏾

Always a great time sitting and listening just like you were here with a one on one. That is an art. greetings from NE MN

This video brought back so many memories of my dad dabbling in photography and we would have slide show movie nights. Really great times! Thanks for sharing your stories with us!

Great video Dave, could listen to you telling stories all day long ❤ Love everything you and your beautiful wife do. ✌🏼💚🙏🏻

When I need calming, feel good therapy I watch a Dave video. You are so therapeutic Dave.

You KNOW this is gonna be good!! 👍🏼 ❤😊

Absolutely satisfying video, great voice and interesting stories Dave, thanks for doing this! Looking forward to more like this one ... ❤️

I remember that a little differently lol. I remember you yelling back its up to your armpit just keep going . that was a great trip that I'll always remember. I lost half of my fishing pole in that swim. and the bear trails in the brush that was wild!

Best Campfire Stories on UKposts, Guaranteed!!

Thank you for sharing these stories with us! I always look forward to yours and Brooke's videos ... ❤

Your band friend gets a big thank you from me. I enjoy both Brooks and your content. Great stories (your poor brother smh). Blessings ~

I agree with you about getting lost. Ive also got lost in the woods and on water....You never forget that feeling. Never went out without a compass again!

The true mastery of great story telling is the listener can see feel and touch the story as if there, you do that.

This is fire!

Such fun and interesting campfire stories! Its so neat to know how you got your start. Just love your channel and content!!! Brooke's too! You're both so inspiring to me!

Dave is such a good story teller.

I love campfire stories! Many young memories UpNorth (Thunder Bay-Lake Huron) @ the Hunting Cabin 4 miles 2-track trail… “poking sticks & telling lies” is what the hunters called it. My parents are from Mio/Fairview (where most of my family lives), but I was born and raised in the Irish Hills (Southern Michigan-near Michigan Int’l Speedway). Lived in Seattle for about 5 years and experienced a lot of outdoor activities (riding my horse in the mountains). Always found my way back to Michigan! Always wondered my love for the outdoors was influenced by my parents very rural upbringing (especially my dad being raised in his Amish Gpa’s house his first 8 years of life). Dad calls UpNorth “God’s Country.”

A great incite into your life Dave! It’s amazing the great stories you shared and we can’t get enough of your building projects that you and Brooke share Thank you for what you do ❤

Cool video !!!!!! You are a great storyteller I enjoyed it

I get educated every time I watch your videos. Very much appreciated sir. God bless you.

You were talking about getting lost in the woods. I've done that a few times. It is scary!! But have you ever got lost in a multi level parking garage? I did, by myself, got turned around and walked about 2-1/2 hours looking for my truck. What a blessing!!! I had forgotten my parking stub in the truck. So security couldn't help me. Lesson learned,!!

Love it. You really have the voice for this. Really enjoying it.

good to see you Radical

You’re an excellent narrator you have the best stories and work ethic I’ve ever seen.

This is one of my fav videos of yours. I love the recitation of the stories. You have such a great talent for storytelling.

Hi there

Hello all

❤❤❤I LOVE this. More, please! Noting better than campfire stories, and I couldn't care less if it's just burning brush. Made me think of several wild stories out in the woods in my life. Would love to see this more often, Dave. ❤❤❤

I always look forward to your videos. This one made me realize just how many life stories we all have. Thanks for sharing some of yours with us. It's great to get a glimpse into what shaped your life... the funny, the scary, and the insightful. Keep 'em coming!

Wow - stories 'round the campfire. This is a classic and a wonderful piece for the memories stack. I love it, you could feel the warmth of the fire while listening to the adventures! Thanks for sharing! 🥰😎

I agree, pets are there to be petted. Sometimes they don’t get that lol

I hope you get as much joy back as you shared in this episode. Story telling like that is amazing! I love how you gave insight and explained your lessons and The Lessons going to the woods/forest gives a person(s). Thank you!

The fact that U can tell us these stories proves...U have the 'lives of a cat'! Can't imagine what number U R on? YIKES Dave! Sometimes one can B 2 radical. This vid proves that 'someone' is surely looking out 4 U. Thanks 4 sharing. Health and God Bless!

Thanks Dave, I really enjoyed the stories. You are a gifted storyteller.

Great video, so lovely to have the campfire story experience virtually when I can’t be out in the woods. I love your content.

Great stories by the fire. Close to the heart. Thank you! Best entertainment around, you and Brooke's video. You make us feel like we're there.

Thanks Dave. Part of a story is how it is told. You have the magic. Continue to be you.

WTG , Dave ! Excellent stories ! Excellent Content ... Keep up your Good work ✌ We love ❤ you guys

Thanks for the relaxing time around the campfire, especially since it's wet and rainy we could still enjoy yours indoors.

Thanks for the campfire stories Dave. You take care.

I could listen to your stories all night long lol keep on keepin on ✌️ ❣️

Absolutely great. These will turn into the ol'timers stories.

That was fun! Nothing better than a campfire and stories! Fiction or non! 😉

I absolutely love your stories. And you have so much wisdom to pass on to others. Love your philosophy on life, and your relationship with Jesus Christ. Thanks for sharing.

I remember the massive Thomas fire and mudslides in SantaBarbara. Fire department was incredible. Many were disappointed how the Sheriffs deputies got a kick out of treating the residents like garbage. Closest thing I’ve ever seen to martial law, well…until the recent “event”.

I loved this video. A nice fire and story time. I am like a kid hanging on every word.🤣😂

Video is a little on the long side and I've been seeing it for a couple days thinking "do I have time for this". Well, this evening I need to cook supper and I could listen to blah, blah on the news or I could listen to a soothing voice tell me about his travels and adventures. I'm so glad I decided to listen to you. It was like visiting with a friend in my kitchen. I enjoyed it very much. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.

Fellow Michigan guy here. I love campfires, stories & Northern Michigan! So familiar, good times.
