Josh is like a bro to you, an extended part of the Delventhal family. He knows a lot about camping too. This was a very refreshing video, sparkling and bright. Love you, Nikki. You’re heading up toward a million subs and I’m so glad there’s a place in the fan club for me and my dog, Jo.
Camping with someone who knows what they are doing makes it so much easier. Nikki you made my week so much better after a tough week with my mom getting sick and eventuly going to heaven. Thank you, Nikki, Josh, Camper and RV for making my week a little better. Be safe and safe travels until next week.
Loved the night sky @17:51 !!! I love following / reading the stories of campers and backpackers, as well as van-dwellers.. Will I ever do those things ?? I might. ☺️
My Friday routine, Eat lunch at my desk. Wait till noon and watch Nikki's latest vlog! Really enjoyed this one and thank you for sharing. Will be hiking in Connecticut this afternoon with my two dogs. Thanks for sharing!
@@NikkiDelventhal CT is also my home state, i loved going hiking in parks in N.Grosvenordale. there is so much great scenery. i need to take my daughter there so she can experience it.
Thank you for another amazing video! Josh is a breath of fresh air and love his personality! I followed all his links you provided because he seems like such a wonderful person. Love all that you do for us and the info you provide. Can't wait for the next one. Give Camp and RV a big hug for me and have a beautiful day!!
Yay Josh! Happy humans, happy dogs! I'm really enjoying this new hiking and camping version of Nikki. Clearly the dogs are too -- they look absolutely joyous on the trail. Rodney licking mama first thing in the morning made me smile. I have to say that if you're going to talk about four essentials, I prefer a flask of brandy to chocolate, but you do you. More of these, please.
Hey Nikki! Been watching you for a few months now and can’t tell you enough how much I love and appreciate your travels… especially love the boys, camper and Rodney RV. What a great episode and really enjoyed Josh as well! Remember you just never know how much you touch people’s lives and hearts ❤🙏🏼.
I have a Nemo hornet 2p which weighs 2lbs 1oz it’s a good tent and I really love it. I used it on the AT last year and will be using it again this year on my second attempt. I have a Kelty 30 degree bag which keeps me plenty warm between my mid layer and my puffy. I also have a big Agnes sleeping pad which is very light, quiet and insulated.
3:50 Nikki, have you ever pondered putting either Camper or Rodney between your neck and the backpack when going over grates? It would take training at first, of course, but just something to think about. Can't wait for this adventure!
Always look forward to your videos. Love the blankets you designed. When I went camping, I checked for critters under rocks before I set up my tent and sleeping bag. Have a good week.
Great hike in the Sierra: up above Bishop to Golden Trout Lake via Paiute Pass. You can either come back down the same way, or trek further north and down Pine Creek Trail to round Valley. With two vehicles, you can leave one at the end of the road up from Round Valley and drive the other to the trail head above Bishop.
Nikki another great video this week. Love being part of your adventures with your pups! You make me want to leave my apartment and go explore nature and different parts of the world
Great vlog, Josh was an excellent camping companion, funny, confident in the camera, great vlog Nikki! Your tent may have been slightly heavier than Josh's but your comfort was better and not so see through. Justin is very trustworthy by the way, only jealous about missing a trip and having to work I guess!
My go to tent for backpacking with my dog Wally is the Copper Spur HV UL3 Ultralight. I've had it for 3 years now and it just fits my adventure check list. It's HUGE and free standing. weighs in a about 4 pounds. but worth it. I've had it in snow, rain, wind, all that I love the extra room. I'm no big youtuber but I highly recommend this tent for backpacking with dogs. Have a great day 🌲
Pro tip : For camping in the wind, place a large rock in each corner of the INSIDE of your tent. This will hold your tent down even in high winds. If you need to , you can remove the poles to prevent the wind from damaging your tent during the worst part of a wind storm.
Nikki and pups, you make it even more special. I am just looking forward to seeing what adventures you have now and I am a proud Delvan Dork! lol! 🐾 😂 💚
Unreal seclusion. Years ago my older brother and I did some traveling and camping on our motorcycles. He always preached to me about traveling light. More recently (2011) I bicycled from the Twin Cities, MN to Itasca State Park in northern Minnesota. I had front bags, rear bags, and a trailer. Somehow my brother’s advice slipped my mind. I brought gear that I never touched during that trip. RIP, older brother. I’ll get it right someday. Safe travels, Nikki.
Hello Niki and your sweet furbabies. That was fun trip😊thanks for showing how to camp light n that food looked good too . Love your videos 😊 Give your sweet furbabies a hug Stay safe out there on the roads an camping 🏕 enjoy 😊😊
For starting a fire with a firerod, you might get better results with keeping the striker part steady and pulling back the flint. You can hold the thing closer that way too without fear of knocking the stove over. And I can roll with delvendork. :D
Your Friday drop is such a good Segway into the weekend,..... Love the content Your rucksack reminded me of my first Mountain Marathon..... Soon dialled it in after that. Lightweight kit is an art form.. I'm sure you will enjoy Blanket ordered,....... Next T shirt drop will be a must 👍✌️
I am an avid backpacker all year round!! My favorite backpacking meal is “Good to go” pasta marinara or mushroom risotto 😊 and snacks are a must!!! And I am always looking forward to my lattes after spending the nights in the mountains 😂
Hey Nikki, I was thinking of Rodney as I watched your video. Brittney Furlan posted a scary video from her security camera, showing a coyote grab her dachshund and run! 😮Luckily, her girl was chubby and the coyote couldn’t get over the fence with her, Brittney grabbed her back. 🫣 I guess the coyotes are super hungry lately. 😢
Another drawback to Dyneema tents, based on videos I’ve followed, is they have a lot more condensation than a double-wall tent. They are super light, though. Then you, too, can dance down the trail. Josh is pretty funny. Love the cooking skit. 😂
You have to remember that you were packing for not just 1 person but 3 altogether. The extra weight was from having to pack blankets for the dogs and they're food and they're sleeping mat. That all adds up.
I would honestly recommend upgrading your sleeping bag, tent, and other accessories first. That way you actually know what size pack to purchase. Otherwise, you'll end up upgrading your pack twice -- once to get a large enough one to hold your current gear, and again once you end up with smaller / lighter / less gear.
Josh is like a bro to you, an extended part of the Delventhal family. He knows a lot about camping too. This was a very refreshing video, sparkling and bright. Love you, Nikki. You’re heading up toward a million subs and I’m so glad there’s a place in the fan club for me and my dog, Jo.
When your friend Josh called us "Delven Dorks"........LOL.....I loved that!
Same!! 😂 love that name!
😂😂😂, love that name.
Heck yeah, cracked me up!!😂😂😂
Sounds good on a tee-shirt! Lol❤
Josh is quite the character, he has great energy!
Agree - smart and entertaining guy! Glad you had some great company, Nikki! ❤ ❤❤❤❤
Camping with someone who knows what they are doing makes it so much easier. Nikki you made my week so much better after a tough week with my mom getting sick and eventuly going to heaven. Thank you, Nikki, Josh, Camper and RV for making my week a little better. Be safe and safe travels until next week.
It’s so comforting too! Josh has been doing this for so long and we learned sooooo much!!
I am so sorry for your loss. 🙏
@@meredithheath5272 thank you so much life will never be the same without her but her memory will always live on
Used to go up to that area every summer! Gorgeous place. We saw a ton of bears around Saddlebag lake.
What a sweet guy your friend is..and your darling boys seemed to love the tenting experience 😊
Loved the night sky @17:51 !!! I love following / reading the stories of campers and backpackers, as well as van-dwellers.. Will I ever do those things ?? I might. ☺️

I love this routine!!!! Thank you!!! CT is my home state!:-)
I’ve got the exact same routine. Grab lunch, come back and eat at my desk while I watch Nikki’s vlog! 😂
@@NikkiDelventhal CT is also my home state, i loved going hiking in parks in N.Grosvenordale. there is so much great scenery. i need to take my daughter there so she can experience it.
Same from another fellow nutmegger! Great way to end the work week!
Solo videos are much better 😢
Camper & Rodney -- Delvendogs!
Yesssss!
Josh is a world class photographer, he does amazing work!!!!
His work is mind blowing, really! He does classes for those who want to learn too!
Garage Grown Gear carries a bear can key made by CTUG. It's a few bucks, tiny, and works great!
Awesome video as always Nikki, Camper and R.V.

Thank you Nikki for making my morning a little bit better ❤
DelvinDorks 😊😂 gladly accepting that title 😊
Love josh. Cool dude.
Why does Josh have that movie narrator commercial voice? lol So spot on.
The backpacking content brings back memories. It's cool to see updated gear and so freaking light!!!
Yay Josh! Happy humans, happy dogs! I'm really enjoying this new hiking and camping version of Nikki. Clearly the dogs are too -- they look absolutely joyous on the trail.

As always this video is excellent. Josh is hilarious. I use to backpack with all the equipment that Josh was using.
The cutest moment of the video 13:02😍
Nikki, Josh, Camper, and Rodney, y'all rock! Love the channel and content. Peace ❤

so refreshing to see an outdoor channel that isn't all about selling gear. stumbled across your content and LOVE IT!
Josh is great and would be so much fun to go hiking with. Glad ya'll had a good time ! Hi Camper and Rodney :)
Nikki another great video this week. Love being part of your adventures with your pups! You make me want to leave my apartment and go explore nature and different parts of the world
2:53 exactly how i always did it, learned that in the army. Nice Nikki.
awesome video!!! I love how camper disappears under the blanket, soooo cute!!!
A free standing tent is a must have 💯!!
I lost it when he said drum circle and then started a drum beat with the bear canister 😅😅😅
Love that blanket/pancho. Looks like a great product.
I couldn’t believe how light Josh’s tent was, wow that is very light. Great video as always Nikki x
Nikki thanks for taking me along another beautiful video and I love the way you back you don’t beat around the bush

He’s hilarious- love your videos
It tickles me how both of your dogs like to be under the covers when they sleep, sweet babies ❤
Camper & Rodney are Livin' Large! They're like "We have the Coolest Mom!"
Thanks
Great video! That dude has an awesome voice!!!😂👍👏🏻🥰🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
missed your adventures, glad that your back ❤

@@markofdistinction6094 Dude, seriously? Large rocks? 🪨 😂. Where then should the pups and Nikki fit? 🤣🤣🤣. Please, I think she’s got this!
Yay! Love that you're doing more backpacking videos. Josh was a great addition 😂 proud Delvendorks here 😅
We hope everyone has a wonderful weekend 💚
Nikki and pups, you make it even more special. I am just looking forward to seeing what adventures you have now and I am a proud Delvan Dork! lol! 🐾 😂 💚
Josh may be my new favorite person solely based on incorporating the word copse in a sentence. 😂❤
All in favor of having Delvendork be the new fan club name 🙋🏼♀️
Pre-ordered mine last week. Soooo excited. The dog on it looks very similar to my girl (she was a rescue as well)
Nikki Delventhal You Are Truly An Amazing Spirit!!🔥🐐🐐💎
One of the most funniest videos that you've made. 😂❤
🥰🙏🏼 it was such a fun time!
Nikki, so glad I joined your channel, love seeing your adventures, just be safe.

Thank you Nikki I always love to watch your videos you put a smile on my face

5:55 that's the best part of hiking with a pack - taking it off for the night! 😊

And I can roll with delvendork. :D
I gotta say, Friday's are extra special thanks to seeing a new video out!
Your Friday drop is such a good Segway into the weekend,..... Love the content
Your rucksack reminded me of my first Mountain Marathon..... Soon dialled it in after that. Lightweight kit is an art form.. I'm sure you will enjoy
Blanket ordered,....... Next T shirt drop will be a must 👍✌️
Can I join the next backpacking trip??
Hi Sarah!
Cousin Sarah!
Letssss goooo!!!!
that would be fab, Sarah!!
Your friend is sooo funny! Hahaha i like his sense of humor 😂
Delvin Dorks , the next T - Shirt !!! 😂😂
Stoke, I'm a "Delven-dork"!
I LOVE this new name Josh came up with hahha! So accurate!
@NikkiDelventhal
I was thinking I'm a "Nikki Nut" but, that sounds more like a Porno actress from So Cal. Haha!
Hi Nikki and pups! Love from Slovakia!
Delvendorks!! Love it!! 😂😂 Big time Delvendork right here and proud of it!! New merch opportunity???
I just ordered a blanket/poncho can't wait! thanks for the videos! I love your content! ❤
Lots of great light tents out there..go to rei. Put your pack on a rock( counter) and then put it on your back … saves your back
Your wee boys are a delight 🐶🐶 Fun video. 🐾✌️
The interview with camper that's funny as hell 😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤
I am an avid backpacker all year round!! My favorite backpacking meal is “Good to go”
pasta marinara or mushroom risotto 😊 and snacks are a must!!! And I am always looking forward to my lattes after spending the nights in the mountains 😂
Nice camping trip for a beginner 😊
Nikki, Trader Joe’s makes travel coffee sticks. It’s freeze dried coffee sugar and creamer all in one. Just add boiling water.
Ohhh I'm 😁 so excited! ❤🎉 What a great way to start a Friday. I love your backpacking videos!!
Thank you!
this looks like tons of fun congrats 😊... be safe travelling as well and make sure not to get hurt by any bears ty 🤗...
Hey Nikki, I was thinking of Rodney as I watched your video. Brittney Furlan posted a scary video from her security camera, showing a coyote grab her dachshund and run! 😮Luckily, her girl was chubby and the coyote couldn’t get over the fence with her, Brittney grabbed her back. 🫣 I guess the coyotes are super hungry lately. 😢

I totally popped off about you putting your hair in a ponytail and here you are again with your hair no ponytail. I love it.😂😂❤
OMG! Your buddy Josh is a male version of you! Watching you two ham it up was a lot of fun 🤣🤣🤣
Mountain Woman Nikki! Josh is fantastic fun. What a great voice he has. Let’s see more adventures with you guys! Does he have a TH-cam channel, too?
He does! It’s listed in the description but more active on IG!
You have to remember that you were packing for not just 1 person but 3 altogether. The extra weight was from having to pack blankets for the dogs and they're food and they're sleeping mat. That all adds up.
I guess im a finnish delvendork, great video!
10/10. Love me some packbacking with the lovely Nikki D. Mountain House Beef Stroganoff Rules! Walk out and rock out.
New subscriber here, your so lucky to have this paradise on your doorstep😍🏞. Your dogs are the sweetest, I once had a dog named Rambo🐶!
I got the beef stroganoff version of that brand for S&Gs and it is SOOOOOO good. I bet it’s all an 8.5.
always amazing❤❤❤
I guess I’m an officially a “Delven Dork!” 😆 Thanks for taking us along your hike. HAPPY FRIDAY!!!
"Delven-Dorks" 😂 I'm claiming that as a badge of honor.
I would honestly recommend upgrading your sleeping bag, tent, and other accessories first. That way you actually know what size pack to purchase. Otherwise, you'll end up upgrading your pack twice -- once to get a large enough one to hold your current gear, and again once you end up with smaller / lighter / less gear.

From one super model to another. I enjoy your channel 🎉
Another awesome video with Nikki, Camper and Rodney take care
and have a wonderful weekend yally.🚐🇺🇲🚐
