Mike is the role model all young men need. The dude seems completely genuine, and no one is doing more to push young men and women into the trade fields than him.

It broke my heart when Thomas said he "couldn't afford to go to the funeral" just broke my heart. What a fine young person he is, he brings so much to the world, well done Thomas. And well done too Mike, but I'm sure you're used to hearing that by now but you too bring much to the world.

Your call to your brother was hilarious. Thanks for leaving that in, I needed a good laugh. 😊

[dawnelooney]

I love Mike's salty sarcasm! Cracks me up

[richardbruhn]

My wife and I took the three day survival training class with Thomas years ago! It was fantastic, and information I'm glad I possess. Thanks for showing everyone the wealth of information Thomas and the Survival Training School have to offer.

"You come out here and try to be like the animals, they're gonna out-compete you." "You gotta come out here and you gotta be the most human you can." <-- That right there is how we moved to the top of the food chain.

Tehachapi is hardly nowhere, but it is a unique place with the desert on one side, the high sierras on the other and the most fertile valley in north america on the other. When a kid, from 12 on, used to tell my dad on a Friday night, "I'm going up into the hills, be back Sunday night." Imagine what would happen to a parent now who just let their kid wonder around in the mountains as a kid. Didn't take no survival course, just learned the hard way. In summer I could go out as long as I wanted. The great thing being, once up into the mountains, one almost never saw anyone else.

Been watching Mr Rowe since I was a child. I have always admired you sir! Keep doing everything you do. It's relieving to see how many people can be both successful and happy. It gives me hope for myself and my own happiness.

[algernoncalydon]

A friend of my dad, a caretaker of one of the ranches in those mountains was bragging about how he knew about anyone who was up there and caught them. When I mentioned he never caught me he said a kid would never go up into those mountains by themselves. When I described the truck he was in the previous weekend, his dog in the back riding on top of a bunch of firewood, and that he had cut that wood in a certain ravine and it was live oak and not black oak as he said, he didn't know what to say. He and most people don't know if you aren't in a car, you can hear any car for miles around and even if you stand out on the open they drive by without even noticing.

Thanks again for continuing to grind like this, Mike! You could've easily just relaxed, but you're still out there showcasing amazing do-gooders... and we love it!

[dosbrosgaming]

Glad to have Scott be a guest phone call appearance😂

I moved from Texas Hill County to the Arkansas Mountains two years ago. They're two very different landscapes. This video reminds me to take Mountain survival classes for when my family and I go hiking into the mountains. There are basics for all survival conditions but each area has its different challenges and needs to survive.

[OmniB]

As a vet I can so relate to not being able to make it to a funeral of someone you love. The need for something to break is real. Glad he found a useful outlet. The world needs more men like him.

[Madmak]

I really love that Mike still be out here showing us all the crazy obscure yet super important jobs out there❤

[TheBoatPirate]

give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. teach a man to fish and he will always be able to eat.
teaching is a rare skill for those who dont need money. but a true teacher teaches to see the eyes light up with newly acquired knowledge that will last a lifetime. no amount of money can make a teacher feel that. its an amazing feeling.

15:30 - 16:40 is why we all watch any program that Mike Rowe is involved in. The way he can cut to the bare bones on why the subject is important to us and why it is important to the person who is teaching us.

Growing up in Utah, I was a Boy Scout and we learned a great deal of these subjects. One thing I never learned correctly, however, was orienteering (navigation with a compass) and NOW I regret that lapse. On the other hand, I have a well-stocked survival kit in every vehicle I own and several plastic totes with disaster prep supplies in them, all informed by those long-ago days.

[jenniree]

Thomas...what an awesome human. I appreciate what he does.

[hawkknight]

You haven’t really made a fire. Until you were burnt and yet still determined to make it. Just like you haven’t really owned a knife. Until it made you bleed! It’s just part of life. A lot of people have forgotten that.

[KJEAD]

This just scratched the surface and that's good because it means you can make more episodes covering many other survival skills. I look forward to Mike discovering the simplicity and ease of a figure 4 deadfall in some future show.
