LIVING IN A TENT w/ WOOD STOVE IN COLORADO: RELAXING MORNING W/ MY DOG NEXT TO A WARM STOVE

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ก.ย. 2024
- I'm having a blast out here in these snowy conditions! The storm has increased in intensity so I hunkered down at camp with my furry adventure pal, Sierra, for the day. I'll be camping here for another few days before rolling on to a different location closer to where some other friends are camping. I LOVE WINTER CAMPING SEASON, really glad it's here!

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OFF-GRID AND SELF SUFFICIENT HOMESTEADING
Definition of "Off-Grid": Off-the-grid or off-grid is a characteristic of buildings and a lifestyle designed in an independent manner without reliance on one or more public utilities. The term "off-the-grid" traditionally refers to not being connected to the electrical grid, but can also include other utilities like water, gas, and sewer systems, and can scale from residential homes to small communities.
Self-sufficient means needing no outside help in satisfying one's basic needs, especially about the production of food, and homesteading means living a lifestyle of self-sufficiency. So by those definitions, the key to homesteading is learning to be self-sufficient.
Kinda cool how a dog will just live wherever you go or wherever you are, be it in a house or a tent, they are just with you, and where makes no difference.
That's the difference to most of us humans they do cherish the world and nature as it is. Unlike us they make the best out of every day and situation. Awesome video
I thought this too. Just warmth, food and company.
I wish women were like that
@@forexman4894 this comment is not the vibe.
Don’t lump all into one. we don’t like when women say “all men” so why do the same to women? Dumb comment. My wife loves things like this and is happy no matter what. Find the right woman.
@@forexman4894 Wtf are you talking about I know more women who would do this before a man lol.
I love how he loves his dog and puts the blankets on her and makes sure she’s warm. 🥰
Even when the dog has snow on him
yeah, that was my one smile in a year
@@John_Thompson no, it is his companion and friend, you freak.
I may be seeing things, but didn't he keep 1 of his dogs out in the cold?
You could do that on me ?
Having that great dog must make such a huge difference.
Dogs love unconditionally! +smart man no female around #Genius
@@MJ--uk2jy his dog is a female?
@@brodyblanc1516 damn you’re on the slow side eh?
Dogs are the best!
@@scottgames527
I thought he meant the tent reeks… like a dog. Unwashed dander, breath, gas.
I didn’t think he meant because of feces 💩, which is the dog is most likely to prefer to do outdoors anyhow.
The doggy just being cozy in the blankets is just the most adorable thing ever, 🥰
Park rangers in Colorado are jerks. Waiting for you to breath wrong to give you a ticket
If doggy’s cozy, life is good.
Everything is the most adorable thing no the topic of dogs when it comes to some women
I KNOW, I was like "awwww...lovely dog all cozied up".
Blessed are those who appreciate and spend time with their dog.
*dogs* ❤️
Better company than a fat humpa lumpa.
🙏🙏🙏
Oh yea, the book of Canine chapter 4 verse 7.
I kill and eat the stray dogs in my neighborhood.
When you have your dog your never alone that looks like a good time
You’re bro you’re lol
You said it, so true. A real friend
He has a bigger tent then I do! I've been in a tent for the last 6 years now in Colorado also. Had 2 dogs for friendship as well as family. The dogs were killed and dismembered by a guy that was watching them in July while I was working on a ranch. Now it's just me.
@@mato1875 man I have no words. People can be horrible. I would have beaten him.
@@michaelolson419 I wish I could have got a hold of him. He is still in jail trying to find out if he's confident enough to stand trial. he looked up the news report he would have saw that look like he got beaten up but that was prior to the cops meeting getting a hold of him
Here I am sitting in my house jealous of a guy in a tent. This looks amazing
Hard to understand
Same! My husband just came in and I told him how awesome this looks. He said, “living in a tent is hard!”
I is da pappy, Boss!
@@tonym2513 what?
me too
Your dog is like "I'm gonna make sure this bed doesn't go anywhere. You do your thing"
Omg when you covered your pup up, I think my heart melted
Driving to Colorado to meet them? Lol jk.
Mine too, he is such a nice and kind man.
I just love their relationship, I use to cover my cat too unfortunately she died a week ago I cried for days
@@kerry-ann.woodburn3440 I just had to put my cat to sleep. Maggie had squamous cell carcinoma in her jaw. I am STILL crying about it. I'm there with you. I also had a dog named Sierra.
That hit me right in the heart.
You just know someone's a good person if they treat their dog good. I'm my opinion, dog lovers are the best people in the world!
I agree with you Daniel, dog lovers are a pretty good bunch! Having Sierra with me on these adventures has made things so much more fun...her happy, infectious demeanor always gets me up and moving even on the days when I feel like sitting around. She's such a great companion! ~ Brian
Animal lovers in general.
Agree🥰
Some people value pets more than humans so I wouldn’t use that as a determining factor lol. But at least you know they have compassion.
@@scorpionattitude so true
I smile every time I see Sierra in her cozy bed - every time - love a happy dog!
I love how those kind of dogs curl up into almost a ball and bury their little noses in the bedding.
Me to I love animals in general. 🥺💛
The dog really makes the video cute.
aww
@@crocodile1313 me tooo
The stove brings the tent warmth.
And the dog brings it life.
and the man keeps it all ticking over !
Absolutely!
Now that's one impressive tent. Lots of space, a stove, fire wood and cozy sleep area.
And your companion is adorable and gorgeous.
Love it.
Agreed. I would put one of those blue tarp covers over the tent, would keep it even earmer
@@filmfelineadmin eh, doesnt really need it if you got a wood stove
Even a little one, in a small, contained area like that, his tent is prolly hot af lol
The dog must feel like she’s on the longest walk of her life 😎
Haha, I never thought of it like that!
A most poetic comment.
Norm
@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures - I’m looking to purchase a off grid tent which will fit a: stove, a large cot and 4 people.
So I was wondering do you have any good recommendations on size, quality or ideas? Thanks I subscribed
@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures =your dog looks depressed==!
You can tell a lot about someone by the way they treat their dog.
Yes thats his best friend for sure.
Absolutely ♥️♥️
Donald Trump and Greta Thunberg both hate dogs.
thought the same thing , and how the dog reacts is cool
@@geraldmartsy2165 it figures
The calm I feel watching videos like this while suffering from anxiety… I’ve never been camping and have always lived in the city ! I love this
Hi Mocha Beauty, thank you for tuning in. I'm glad this video helps to provide some solace. Hope you have a great afternoon.
~ Brian
@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures w
Dont go camping
@@thargor6750 why would you say that camping is great everybody should do it
you should go itll help with anxiety at least it helped me
I love how you treat your camp mate. She's gorgeous!
I lived in the same tent for 3 years in the white river national forest... best time of my life... with my dog sadie!!! Live it up bro!
What kinda tent is it
Any big foot sightings lol
How did you bath. And use the restroom. How did u wipe.
@@benihanaa thanks. But leaves are good. I thought toilet paper was biodegradable.
Did you need a permit to stay there ? 🤗
Missing that "feeling" for sure. 70 years old now and haven't been tent camping for at least 40 of those! But I know that solitude feeling your talking about. Once you have it, you never ever forget it. And the yearning for it will haunt you on occasion for sure! And the snowy cold day's were always 100% the best! ♥
Yes, that "feeling"... It's an exact feeling that I believe only some people feel. Watching this video brought back the yearning for it. Some day...
I am youngest girl of 5 kid family. We spent many weekends out camping as a big family. Even after all us kids moved Away & got married, we would still get together to go camping. I'm 40s now & miss it so much. I'm lucky because I do live in rural area of WA state & only a 35-40 minutes drive from mountains so camping has always been a past time. I still try to my husband & kids to go out once a year or two.
You never get too old for camping...you just need softer mattresses😂❤
@Dawg not dog old fart!
@Mostly peaceful shooter yea same i just won’t fucking die
I felt it when i was 15 bowhunting in Washington state i went out on a mountain bike one morning and the deep woods makes you feel small.
The way he treats his dog is the cutest thing I have ever seen
This video is a perfect representation of how amazing the bond between humans and dogs is. We are never alone when we have our best friends with us.
When he gave the dog kisses🥺 i love when people are affectionate with their animals, they deserve all the love💕
Im affectionate to my domesticated possum😁
@@YTOW85 possums are adorable! Lol
@Harry Harry me too, I heard it’s healthy and smart people tend to do it🙂
@Harry Harry lol well self affection is important too I guess🤣
I talk to my dogs like they're people. Cause they are my best friends.
I love seeing the bond between animals and humans. Love, respect that is the way we all should love on this planet 🌎
Dogs and humans have been comrades for thousands of years.
Love to all dogos
Amen!!
@@alexcarter8807 too bad most HUMANS dont realize that
@@lovesallanimals9948 Even showing them more love all because they're human🤔...guess that's more of a confirmation, "evil is evil" & not the person itself! i.e.,sadly I have to wish some humans had my 🐕 dog's spirit!🤣...
I want to do this with my husky and just spend all season getting in shape and working on becoming the person I want to be
I sure hope you do it!!
You can do it ☺️
I absolutely love the sound of the tent zips closing
It takes me back to my childhood and makes me feel so cozy
It's amazing what sounds and smells can remind us of and bring back such vivid memories.
@@LeeAdrian777
Amazing way to be able to reconnect to our inner child too
Same!!! Gives me such a happy feeling immediately
Same!! A lot of my childhood was spent camping and it brings the memories right back
That and the eggs sizzling in the cast iron pan!!!!!
I have to say, "I can definitely see and feel that love they have. Sierra, is his spoiled Baby-girl." Thanks for sharing and being a wonderful caring Dad.
Man this was so relaxing to watch... the way the dog was huddled up in that bed you can tell he was living the life
that looks to be the best part, good meal, then in the bed huddled with the dog. seems so relaxing
I was about to say the same thing! Dog on the comfy bed with the fire going in the corner; not bad
@@Jon.A.Scholt I know that's RIGHT!!🎯💯💯❤🐕Man&Woman Children Best Friend!🐕Absolutely!!👍👍😊
Dog living his life to the fullest
I fully agree. I life in an apartment in the city but now I'm having thoughts about exploring the wild!!
I love how you talk to your dog :) I call mine pumpkin and sweetie too and she's absolutely spoiled. Dogs are so good, they deserve all the love.
kids are better
@@mookiechreo1653 obv you’ve never had kids.
@@tonym2513 Obviously you never had dogs.

12+ minutes of watching this.
More relaxing than an hour of therapy lol
Hey Timothy A, thanks for watching! I really enjoy sharing my winter camping experiences with everyone. It's really relaxing to spend time in this warm tent, especially when it's snowing outside. The solitude and slow pace of life in these conditions is what I truly love. Have a great evening ~ Brian
Being alone in nature is the best therapy. And it's free
@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures what kind of did you use it’s a very cool tent
Well, therapy makes you confront nasty things about yourself you've been avoiding your whole life.
Of course this is more relaxing.
Yeah definitely therapy for me.
Dudes tent is a whole bedroom haha. I love it, looks peaceful, comfortable and relaxing
Gotta give this a like for the sheer amount of love he has for his dog.
I would love to live this way.
There is something so comforting about being in a tent and so close to nature.
Beautiful.
I’m thinking about it just idk kinda scared lol
The way the world is going we will all be living like this permanently, wich I wouldnt mind myself till it gets -50 f here in north Dakota
Until a grizzly pays you a visit and rips your dog to pieces and takes your head off just because he smelled your food. Can't run or fight.
@@Rex-gu1bu oh righty then
Lol
ME TOO.... living to pay bills day to day in a city surrounded by ignorant neighbors ain’t living .
I would truly love nature living!!!!!
Just a man with his best friend enjoying nature. Good stuff mate.
Giggity!
But when it's me and I'm homeless suddenly I'm "a drain on society"
@@ststst981 show us your video and let us decide
@QUAG couldnt agree more
Thanks Quagmire.
I love how you get your pup all snuggled in the blankets!
That's one lucky pooch!!
So Adorable.🐕💕🙌
Love seeing the dog being well taken care of, all cozy in the bed with blankets! That’s a happy dog!
That snow silence. It's the most calming sound. I love it so much!
I think it's interesting how that sort of silence has a sound
Snow the sound absorber. I love it. Pure silence, sounds so loud 😊
There's a certain hush and quiet when it snows that I love. I almost feel I am in God's loving hands as a hammock! Love snow! I used to have a dog named Sierra ,too. Great friend to me.
There are a couple of sounds that are just so primal I think everyone likes it, one is a wood fire, the other is snow falling on your shelter.
Rain. Pretty much the elements
Rain on a tin roof is awesome
@Guy Grove you can hear snowfall on a tent…. That was the entire point of the comment. No need to be toxic
@@forexman4894 Yeah we have one over our bedroom. I love it when it rains at night!
I love how he loves on Sierra . So sweet and caring ❤️
Sierra is so loved. Just melted my heart.
Would LOVE to spend a day like this. Relax, read, drink coffee, snuggle with a blanket and watch the snow. Heaven.
Yeah, of course you wouldn't want to have a part in hauling every three days that dirty huge pile of custom made dry fire wood in just to stay alive. Yeah, sure, reading!
While you have to feed the oven every half an hour at least to not freeze to death instantly.
What you mean is renting a serviced mountain cottage or hooking up with a guy taking care of all that. Lol
I love how he tucks his dog in ❤️
This video warmed my cold, dead heart. Me everytime he called his dog sweetie and tucked her in : 🥺. It's currently sitting in a favorites playlist
Finally found a camping video where there's....
A dog ✅
Cosy Camp✅
Food ✅
Snow ✅
And his soothing voice✅
Subscribed 😇
😊👍
Does not have;
1. Fake macho bulls***
2. Endorsement of useless crap products that wouldn't make it a week out in the field.
3. Politics
Mathew Posa takes his dog(s) along too. I am gonna make a video spoofing you guys and your dogs. Go miles back in the bush, dig a hole in the snow for the shelter cook gourmet food over a campfire and drink a craft beer. Joe Robinet does it too. A senior such as myself would make my dog wear men's socks instead of booties, cut the can of beans open with a hunting knife and start the fire with a blow torch.
At least his dog doesn't have a collar, he won't get hung up.
Toilet ❌
Being from Massachusetts I have the unique ability too be able too camp in either really hot, humid summers, really rainy springs and falls or bitterly cold, snowy winters. For some reason theres nothing like camping in the winter, especially when it snows. The fire just has a extra level of soothingness too it besides the obvious increased comfortability of it. Plus in my opinion going on dawn walks while it snows in the forest is one of the most relaxing, beautiful things you can do in nature.
Your comment made me wish winter camping season was here again! I too love going on dawn walks with my dog and absolutely love being out in the snow. Having the stove is a huge bonus and I look forward to getting into winter backpacking this season. Hope your summer is going good in Massachusetts, only 4 more months before winter will set in. Can't come quick enough!! ~ Brian
@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures couldn't agree more!
@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures winter backpacking sounds like a great time! I'm looking too get my younger kids into a powerless cabin in the snow this year and use that too start getting them ready for tent camping! Unfortunately it's been unseasonably wet this summer, last month we had 4 more inches of rain than our previous record. Its created a real hazard around alot of areas here. Hoping the fall is way more forgiving this year! Happy camping brother and god speed!
Ugh. You’re killing me. I can’t wait to do exactly what you described. Those morning walks. Living large
I too am from the 413 and I love it too!!!
I love seeing Sierra so happy and you showing so much affection for her.
I don't think I've ever had someone care about me the same way this man cares for his dog. Lucky pup 🐶
My wife always said that to me. I could bring her breakfast in bed, scratch my furbabies on the head and she would complain. So, I would scratch her on the head and give her food to the doggies.
Sierra getting breakfast in bed 😊 She’s living the good life!
Dog's life
And so she must be treated
Sierra ABSOLUTELY KNOWS that she is LOVED!!!
Much love from Mobile Alabama
This has to be the most badass tent I’ve ever seen 🙌🏼
It's the size of a small 1br house, it really is badass, I could brave the cold as long as I had a wood stove or 2 in there, one at each end of the tent, I'm an animal lover and his dog is well behaved, great pet, she's a keeper, and good at protecting him I'm sure
I Know!!😊
Goodass !
What kind of tent is this?
The big horn 3 is a good looking tent
Having a dog with you out in the middle of nowhere is essential,not only do they lift your spirit but they guard and protect you from intruders,"your breakfast,count me in,and hot coffee please".
No frig required I bet.. I'd be freezing and would need a daily shower but other than thst.. I'd love it
2:05 “I thought the storm was coming from that direction but I was completely wrong about that”
-every weather man ever
😂
It's awesome bcuz it's true lol 😂
I lived homeless in those mountains for years, it is hard but beautiful. Particularly in the winter when the forest lays quiet after a snow storm
Start a TH-cam channel
How did you avoid hypothermia? That's what I'm most worried about, how I'll keep warm
@@MO-fi8kp judging by the non response he didn’t. Lol
@@MO-fi8kp First of all. Why are you on this channel? This guy is taking a literal vacation. He isn't surviving anything.
Shelter is how you avoid hypothermia. Essentially, you'll have to get lucky enough to find the face of a cave or develop the skills to build a proper structure that can house a small fire. Learn about working with natural clay. How to make your own cord. If you can develop and create any semblance modern life from things around you. You want to learn how to do those things. Dress heavy before you set out, and most of all. Understand that you're gambling with your life going into the wild, and that there are zero guarantees of survival. The only way to improve your odds is by shortening your time out there.
I think god gave us an instinct to tell when we see a pure soul. This guy definitely get that feeling.
Nah its just a fairy tale
Dogs are excellent judges of character. And the affection a dog gives to its owner, lets you know exactly how good a person he/she is.

Love how this guy just pampers his dog… covers her and makes sure she’s all good and warm..
Great setup, I like that area in the front where you keep the wood dry and can access it without going outside.
Yes that mans tent with the wood-stove and his doggie is a pretty good setup if you have to live in the woods. I wish them both the best.
I'm wondering how often during one week he has to go for a new pile of wood and where he gets that from.
Nice to see him eat that "locally harvested" tasty seasonal avocado.
Not hating, but the amount of unrealistic romanticism in the comments here is on an unbelievable level.
At least his car is also big enough for the food he will need for moving around during the day to get warm.
Where's all the green new dealers complaining about the lacking insulation and all the emissions out there in that "habitat".
She’s such a beauty. I love how you give sweet kisses to Sierra 🐕 ❤️
That has got to be the coolest tent set up I've ever seen.
Reminds me of Harry Potter
Love how you covered the doggie when you checked the outside of your tent. Dogs are the best companions....looks like this pal is your forever friend! Love the tent and how you made a little stove and fireplace.....looks very cozy!
I love your relationship with your dog, I used to love camping, I can’t anymore due to health reasons. I miss fishing on a lake with the sun in my face and a gentle breeze blowing !

Sierra & her Daddy, living their best life! Love this 💗
This is what I wanna do when I retire. Just go to cool places, especially the snowy one, and camp and just chill in nature
Nothing like a man and his dog in nature.
At least ur smart enough to put ur wood on the inside. I see a lot of campers leave theirs out in the snow and rain without cover. Luv ur videos
That’s an incredible tent! Spacious with a fire place wow, I wouldn’t mind camping a few days in this one. 👍🏼
this ain’t camping, just rent a cabin if you want all the bells and whistles, real camping is something you can’t change
@@creamythroat Whatever he's doing, call it like you want lol
@@devolutionone maybe living off grid
I suspect the temperature inside has no much different from the outside with that tent, and the ground sucks the heat too. If he digs down a foot or two. it might be a little better.
@@iqbang9236 definitely warmer inside that tent, wind chill, fireplace, 2 bodies of warmth, would take a bit to warm up and maybe not get too hot but it definitely would work , get a little buddy heater for the door area
Your baby is too freaking adorable she’s just all cozy under the blankey how cute is that!
I did this 3 years ago, it was one of the best times of my life, that big horn 3 tent in my opinion is the best 4 season tent ever made, it stood up for 2 years straight never taken down, but it will flood and hold water if your using the flooring be careful where you set it up. Loved watching the video brought back some great memories thanks.
The way you are with your pup is exactly how I am with mine. Pure love.
This video reminded me of great saying - "The more I get to know the people, the more I start to love my dog".
Anyone just watch these so they can feel mad comfy & cozy?
I have animals also, cats but the way you love and care for your dog is amazing. In such a dark time, you give me hope. Which I so need. Thanks.
Love to you both! I'm almost envious i could spend a couple days like that reading or crocheting the day away.
Me too
A couple of years.
Sure, hauling a few books with that all terrain truck together with that dusty oven and the seasonal avocado when bringing that first pile of custom made dry fire wood to the camp. Or maybe when refueling after three days at the local hard ware store.
Does this oven give light, too?
Or is he reading all day during sunlight instead of moving to stay warm? Gosh, city folks!
A tent, A man, his LOYAL dog & solitude...IT'S A BEAUTIFUL THING!!!
Much love from Mobile Alabama
Dude i tuck my dogs in exactly like that ill say "you guys want tuckies?"And they will curl up an its like the second theyre covered they zonk right out lol. You are living my dream right now dude i wish you and you dog more beautiful days like this in life. This video warmed my heart this morning i miss the forrest so badly. The city life is just no life for me or my pets lol.
Dude never change the way you treat your dog
Why would he?
That’s fantastic! Makes me sleepy listening to the wood burn Icy snow hitting the tent .
I definitely couldn’t do this without a dog
Agreed and why would you even want to.
@@anns1921 Well, I would enjoy a dog company there while in a tent, but I wouldn't want to adopt a dog just for this experience. Part of my strategy in life is to have fewer irreversable commitments and either dog or a child is a form of that commitment, where once you commit to it you can't change your mind, you're now responsible for it until the rest of their life. Having either lowers your freedom and mobility. Having a pet is like a mini version of having a child (I had a dog for 15 years). I loved it a lot and I still keep its food bowl where it was, but I now want neither children nor pets.
@@danielevergreen1133 You have no idea how shallow that sounded huh
@@ObfcrewOz Shallow in what way? Firstly, my childfree position is based on two core beliefs: that having children has worse outcomes both on group level and on individual level. I'm a utalitarian. Thus, I believe that every decision is either good or bad, based on its outcomes. On group level, either the world needs more people or it doesn't. In other words, either it becomes a bit better, as more people are added, or it becomes a bit worse. Some estimate that the optimal number of people is 1.5 to 2 billion, which is 4 times the current amount; in any case, it's hard to argue that the wold needs even more. So as more and more people are added, it becomes a bit worse. Isn't the definition of "selfishness" doing something at the expense of the group? If you make the world a bit worse with that decision, what are you? So I hope I've convinced you that not having children is, at the very least, not selfish, and, furthermore, it can be argued that having children is.
I'll even mostly skip the common elifist position, which I don't subscribe to, but resonate with, that existince is not inherently good for the thing that exists. But, to give you a taste of it, my dog had congestive heart failure. It means that it was slowly dying. As heart fails, it starts to suffocate because fluid build-up in the lungs. I had to make the decision at what point my dog's life becomes worse than living, and it will require euthanasia to end its suffering. "Interesting" question, right? At what point does suffering from living starts to become worse than pleasure of living? If somebody were to live with a cloth over their face, and slowly more and more water is added to it, as they are getting waterboarded alive, and the only future prospect is only more water getting added, then at what point being alive becomes worse than being dead? At what point do you suffocate alive too much?
Had to make those decisions several times in my life, not a big fan of that question.
Have you had a depression? A lot of people have and they have to make a decision whether their suffering is worse than the pleasure they get from living. Have you even been dying from cancer? When you die from cancer, as my relatives were, there also comes a point where you have to think about similar things.
So even beyond the group level, there's no guarantee that for any individual, their existence is better than them not existing at a point in time. Furthermore, many argue that that point is much closer than that, to the point that making concious beings is immoral from the start. Plenty of common philosophical traditions view life as mostly suffering, most prominent being Buddhism. To them, even seeking pleasure is a form of suffering. I don't necessarily agree with them, but I just wanted to illustrate that it can be argued that existence is not inherently good and thus creating children or pets is not inherently good.
On an individual level, children make people less happy, as shown by science over and over again (so-called parenting happiness gap). So imagine that somebody is selfish and they want to contribute to the world becoming increasingly overpopulated. Well, science shows that it won't even make them individually more happy than they would be without children. But it is already a fat comment, so I'm going to stop at this.
So, by irreversable commitments, I mean exactly this. Imagine having children and then recognizing that it is not good for anybody: it derailed your life and made you less happy than you could have been, and it made the world only a bit worse. You can choose a bad job, and leave it, you can choose a bad relationship and leave it. But if you bring another conscious creature into this world, you can't undo it.
I think it is okay to recognize that some moments are absolutely better with that creature, despite that, as a whole, the cummulative price payed might not justify those moments. By the price, I mean both on the group level (in case of a pet, contributing to pets being bred) and on the individual level (the personal price of having to take care of that creature, the life mobility it takes away from you, and then having to slowly watch it die).
@@danielevergreen1133 TLDR. Enjoy ageing alone haha.
See how we all appreciate small thing like a warm ⛺ tent and best friend 🐕 dog and spending time without much thinking about tomorrow these little things we city dwellers miss alot
Might as well stay there, civilized society has gone off the deep end.
@Robert Rocca what a weird response. Hahaha
Big time
Agree. Division and hatred. Love this and it proves my point on giving up TV and 24 news cycles. Peaceful channels like this is all I need
lol :)
@Mike Fitzpatrick clearly you need more education just by looking at your grammar
Your sensitive nature and kindness is infectious. And, sweet pup and tent set up!
Hello there,
The longest time i ever spent living in a tent was back in 1984 when i was 17 yoa for around 16 week's...as i recall i stayed in a place called Tolka valley in north west county Dublin off the now M3 arterial route as it was still in it's wild rural state back then.
I had only became aware of this beatiful place a year before when i moved from Ballymun just 2 mile's south of Dublin Airport.
It had it's up's and down's as I had not realised that the Tolka river is a tributory system that run's into Dublin Bay and tend's to flood now and again mainly in late fall.
Anyway I send my Best wishe's to you and your Best Freind and i hope she pull's trough.
@Mike OBrien ,
Hello Mike...it's a good 37 year's ago since i had that adventure.
I was alone at night but i got regular visit's from family member's of my own generation.
I had a two man tent and a tarp for extra protection...also i used some dead branches too.
And i always only had small fire with a block so no light could be seen at night.
The location is about 1mile west of Blanchardstown village close to Mullhudart last town before you cross into County Meath.
Watching these videos at night is so relaxing. 💜
That! Right there! That is the life I'd love to have: big, weather-proof tent I could use as a second home away from home. Only problem though: here in Québec, we call -6 degree celcius "summer".
I almost lost my feet camping with friends in qc. we got a freak storm and it went down to -32.
Lived in Colorado Springs for a bit, no not in a tent I was housed up, but when there was a heavy snow, it was like the whole world was my living room.
You're a romantic. 😊
This reminds me of my hunting trips in Colorado with my dad and uncles it was winter it was awsome,we also packed in the wilderness with mules and horses best times in the world they were all WWII vets greatest and toughest guys I ever knew.
That is one happy doggy if I ever did see one, best company one could ask for.
Thank you for that insight, most relaxing 12 minutes 49 seconds I've had in a long time. Also, it's so wonderful to see you and Sierra out there living life to its fullest. Lucky dog, lucky guardian.
