Dog hair not only keeps dogs warm in the winter, but the underlayer coat keeps dogs cooler in the summer by trapping cooler air between it and the skin. Terra is fine, she is a light colored dog. 14 miles a day is a long walk if your not used to it though. If she had 5 toes the middle would be sticking out at you! LOL! Also dogs do not sweat, they only have sweat glands on their feet. When cooling a dog, you should Only cool a dog on the feet and belly. Wet outer coat traps heat.
Alex I love the way you challenge yourself with these long hikes & now with Terra as not sure you have taken her before? Your concern about her is just wonderful!! Terra loved the snow rolling around! Such an achievement & joy together especially carrying heavy backpack! 🤗💜💜🐕🇦🇺🍻
Loved this! I think hiking and camping videos are beautiful, and a great mix-in with your usual content. After all, that's what living the truck camping lifestyle is all about... getting to be in beautiful places and do the things you love to do.
You guys are amazing 🤩. Terra was adorable and I’m glad the camera was set up to catch her having her moment. You said “only 40 miles”, I’m like, huh?! Girl u r awesome 👏
Great video. I really enjoyed watching you two navigate both the highs and lows of your backpacking trip (terra rolling in the snow was 😂😂😂). Showing us the pain as well as the beauty really is more mentally healthy for your viewers than the “everything was EPIC” videos some creators do. The ending was thoughtful and caring to summarize the quality of the trail for those camping with a dog.
What a trooper Tara is! You both did great, and I'm sure Tara loved it because she was with you. Thank you for sharing your 6 I hope to see more of you and Tara.
You are one brave and courageous young lady. I know it was hard but these memories are more than any amount of money. Congratulations on job well done so glad u made it back safe. Rest well. You do have a great dog. Tara did very well.
I’m learning about hiking from your videos, along with some other channels. Thank you for sharing this with us all. Terra is a trooper. The joy she experienced with that snow was so sweet.
Nice adventure to watch. Good job keeping us informed. Hiking with a dog is probably no different than hiking with young child. Your mind is always thinking. That Drains anyone for sure.
I don't know to be young... When I was young I did some things that I never even thought about while I was doing them but now it's 66 years old I look back and wonder how did I take that 150 mi bike ride without thought to what I was going to eat where we were going to sleep my son and I and his friend. Everytime I drive past the point where we ended that journey I wonder how in the world did I do it! But we all do this kind of thing I think when we were young.. Today I have to plan every single thing and I move about in a 1977 class C Dodge motorhome and I have my wife and I have two e-bikes... Solar power everything and every comfort of home. We love to travel we would forward to the journeys . We will be taking. Be careful Godspeed.
I’m so proud of you and I’m so relieved you both finished safely! Terra is so amazing - I loved watching her excitement in the snow! Best moment ever ❤
I travel with 2 Llewellyn setters and most of the time they are off leash. Hiking with 50lbs on your back in altitude and having hang on a leash would be really hard. If I walk 10 miles I know they've done thirty so keeping them leashed would keep them fresher but my arm would be a foot longer and one only knows how many stops we'd have to make to untangle. Great job, great video.
Haha so fair! She’s on a waist leash which is safer and easier for us both thankfully :) at her age, I also want to keep her mileage low as she’s still working up to it, so it actually works out well for us! That said, every dog is different and I’m glad you’ve found something that works for you!
That looked like a nasty hike! Good grief with the dusty night! I work in the forest and that looked lije a challenge, thanks once again for your grest videos! You are one tough lady.
Looks like a beautiful place! I agree, it isn't so dog friendly at this time of the year. Maybe in the fall or early spring would be great! I know the hurricane is on its way up north so just be careful of rushing waters and downpours!
The little pink dot on her nose is so freakin adorable. Just out thereoving her best life. I think I was at timberline maybe a day after you guys finished 😂
Haha it’s actually not normally like that! She got into the habit of flipping her food bowl recently so it’s a little raw spot🙄 but she’s definitely loving life lately! Hope you had a blast out there!
I backpack with my dog Gabbi, and almost couldn't do it without her, so I totally get you about the worry and responsibility that goes with that. We've been in the occasionaly dodgy situation too and yeah, the stress is real. So good on you for looking after her so well. Great video.
Welcome to my back yard. Lol We used to hike a lot around the Lost lake area. Much more shade and water sources. Definitely not 42 miles though, just day trips. There are a ton of old forest roads up there.
The two of you are a stellar example of being able to put yourself to a task, and to complete it, no matter the factors that may work against you✅. You have a fabulous dog 🐕 in Tara! 💕Congratulations on your accomplishments!!
I love your videos. I hiked the Lake Superior Trail for a week when I was 14 with a camp I went to. Watching this video brought back memories ❤. Makes me wanna do it again😊
I really enjoyed this adventure and video...I was a bit nervous for you an Terra. Beautiful scenery and great editing! Thank you for being honest and for including the challenges you faced. I'm hooked. Can't wait to see where you land next.
thank you! it was a challenge for sure, and I had to include those bits! many more adventures to come - we are so happy to have you here along the way!
I enjoyed watching Terra play in the snow. Was this her longest backpacking trip? And hey, you’re in my area. I was camping in Mt Hood National Forest a few weeks ago, and day hiked above Timberline where you started/ended. Gifford Pinchot National Forest is also beautiful if you’re still in the area.
I'm pretty sure we're here for whatever you want to share, so hiking, camping, lounging, driving, it's all good. Sometimes I wonder if Dogs play dumb just to make us humans take over care of them. I mean that I've noticed they can be pretty smart if they want to be. They know when to rest, and where aka in a dirty river where they'll be cool or shade as if there telling you to chill and take a short snooze or stop for a snack. I know you want to think Tara's your baby but I doubt she's as babish as you think she is.
haha I think terra is certainly smarter than she lets on sometimes! She is certainly in tune with herself and has no issues telling me what she needs though, thankfully :)
Definitely want to see more videos like this. Would love if you also give details of how you find trails you want to hike, how do you know where water sources are and info about your equipment.
Great video. I Learned a lot of lessons from it. Especially about hiking to the water sources. I got a little confused. Did you have to hike both ways…or did you park you car at the top/end of trail?
You cant complain about hiking in the wilderness,, it’s the wilderness,, you have to be prepared for the worst ,the trails are not setup by Disney, and pets on trails and backpacking, really think twice,, I’m not trying to be rude, but it’s the wilderness
Nothing as good as hiking with your dog. Team spirit at it's best.
You are such a good dog mom in how you think of your fur babies' needs and hike at a pace that's comfortable for her.
Lol Terra in the snow 🤣🐶🐾❄⛄
Wow thats a huge hike especially with a dog. Glad u guys made it safe n had some fun 🤙

Terra was like let me cool off in this snow mom. lol She is so adorable.
Tara was a real trooper! I’m sure it was stressful taking care of her.
She really is! Some stress but also so worth it to have her out there with me :)
@@SheRoamsWild good job!
I am glad you guys made it back safely. Your care and concern for Tara was awesome. You are a great dog parent!!
We are so happy to be back, and healthy! She’s priority #1, and this was a great learning experience for us both :)

That was awesome, taking care of Tara is a must thank you for sharing Alex.
Thanks for the great video! Loved Tara playing in the snow! Safe travels ❤
She had so much fun in the patches!
I'm so glad that you take the time and initiative to hike on Terra's (?) terms rather than your own. It shows that you truly DO care about your doggo.
I am an amputee and avid hiker and adventurer, this is my jam!!
Oh the hardships, that you wouldn’t trade for anything, and with the best hiking buddy ever. A slower pace is a good thing, have tons of fun!!
Wonderful hike! Especially appreciate your safety measures (for both of you).
Nice adventure to watch. Good job keeping us informed. Hiking with a dog is probably no different than hiking with young child. Your mind is always thinking. That Drains anyone for sure.
Whoa 42 Miles of the Woods Alex Love The Nature Walk 🥰☺😊🐕
Well you are a courageous woman! And your just as beautiful as the scenery you surround yourself with. Love it!
I love your love for Tara!!
Youre so brave and well prepared to finish such a hike with your awesome dog. Thank you for taking us along as always.

I really enjoyed this adventure type of video. Keep on having fun! Loved the doggie booties, too. 😁
OMG…my beloved golden, Tallullah (RIP), used to do that snow shimmy on hikes.
aww they are the best! so sweet that she did this as well

Hi Alex! I always enjoy your backpacking adventures. Glad you and Terra got back safely😀
Tara loved that snow!
You are both very resilient. Glad you made it.
as a backpacker that hikes with a dog too, i'd love to see more videos like this.
so good to know! many more trips to come, promise!
Patience, perseverance and pace. Going with the flow. Isn't it always worth it??????
So glad you guys accomplished it love seeing you do these hikes with terra ❤️
So relaxing,I dig me a good hike and this video pulled the stress right out of me.

stop to make some snow angels 11:16 in--Tara loves the snow
Wow walk alone in the trail with your dogs that cool

I really enjoy this kind of video from you. More than the build videos. :)
Great video! I like how you were very organized and prepared! Cool.
Fricking awesomeness! Loved how you and Terra pushed thru. ❤
It was an epic time!
@@SheRoamsWild Though I'm sure it wore both you out. it looked like fun. I'm envious. ✌
The wonderland trail around my rainier is a awesome trail to try

An amazing video. Learnt lots. Glad your two finished the trail well.
Amazing, didn’t know how hardcore you were, fairly new subscriber. Your build brought me in.
What a beautiful video. Thank you
Tera❤❤she is a champ
she really is!
I really enjoyed this video. I enjoy learning about hiking with a dog, since I hope to do the same soon with my golden retriever. Thanks!
Loved
Welcome safely back!!!
Thank you!
I love seeing your adventures! You both amaze me! 🙌🏻
We love sharing them! Thanks for joining :)
Great to see a hiking video.Most of Montana's trails are closed due to fires.Wind and no rain.
I loved the video. You handled it really well. : )
More of this!! I loved it!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
On it! Thanks so much :)
Wow that looked so tough but you both did amazing. Impressive hike and a great adventure thanks for sharing.
Good video!
Definitely want to see more videos like this. Would love if you also give details of how you find trails you want to hike, how do you know where water sources are and info about your equipment.
I would like to hike the Colorado trail, was going to and then the pandemic came. It seemed everyone was leaving the trails.
cool
Sooo awesome epik beautiful video and trail
It was pretty wild out there!
Loved the backpacking and your prep and conquer of the trail.
Loved this video ❤
Thank you!!
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great vid. Glad you both came through ok!
❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing. Consider carrying dog sling for peace of mind. Keep up the good work.
I have been considering one! Now that she’s a bit bigger, it’d be harder to put her up on my shoulders for sure
Great video. I Learned a lot of lessons from it. Especially about hiking to the water sources. I got a little confused. Did you have to hike both ways…or did you park you car at the top/end of trail?
This is what I want to know too. Do you have someone else Park your truck or how do you get to it? Loved the video!
hmm.. was this a loop trail? how did you get back to your truck?
Would this be a trail where bear spray would be needed?
Some people did carry it, but I did not! I tend to only carry it in high traffic bear areas and the north :) tht said, proper food storage is a must!

You cant complain about hiking in the wilderness,, it’s the wilderness,, you have to be prepared for the worst ,the trails are not setup by Disney, and pets on trails and backpacking, really think twice,, I’m not trying to be rude, but it’s the wilderness
I hope your not in the path of Hillary. Stay safe.
thankfully not, thank you :)
well, to have a dog is nice, but always limits your personal freedom. Not good for an adventurous life.
That’s crazy to think how close you are , would have been cool to meet you 👍
We have Bigfoot up here in Andover Ohio.
First !!!!
Lol to watch someone hike
