- A spring snowstorm comes through our neck of the woods with blizzard like conditions and me and Monty decide to go camping in it! We spend the night and cook up some delicious food over a campfire!
It was closer to winter camping than spring camping!

This was a the nastiest snowstorm I have camped in to date! The wind was coming from all over even when we were in a protected spot!
Also, in regards to sticker and patch purchases at www.matthewposa.com, I have recieved e-mails about international orders not working
and have fixed this issue! Sorry about that! The store is something new that we are still learning!
Matthew Posa Will do share share share
Hello Monty your are hardy dog in that snow.
Done..done and done my friend!!!! Also i hope you got friends that sing with you, I got 2 that will make new lyrics of songs to what we are doing!!! The rest are too embarrassed!!
Thank you for all you do
No problem! Did all 3. Love your videos. Glad to be able to support your channel .
Am i the only one who watches these to fall asleep 🤣 such calming videos man can't get enough of em
BROO I been doing that for a few nights
And wake up to just some random video playing
No your not I’m doing that right now
I've literally fixed my sleeping pattern by watching these type of videos.. i start a video and just relax until i find myself falling asleep and waking up very early in the morning, well rested and ready to tackle the day, it is no wonder.. so calming..😴
Doing it right now. My favorites!
You get a like for the love you have for your dog.
You should change your avatar to Gary Oldman in The Professional!
I wish everyone treated animals like that!
@@fusche2001 How about i treat your animal like that
I like dogs too
Same
I just love how dogs are totally fine with everything us humans drag them through!
Yes they are truly man's best friend.
Cause they are made out of love
Just imagine how desolate this imagery would be without that fluffy friend in it!
Well...they are domesticated wolfs.
@@rageagaintstheNWO So, are you alluding to domestication or their "wolf-ness"? There must be some kind of point you want to make, apart from stating the obvious...
And it has to be wolves.
Does anyone else watch Matt’s videos for some levity and calm, thinking about a much simpler life in times that seem to be beyond comprehension? No clue how I came across your videos Matt, but thanks for these brother.

His name is Mathew. You're not clever with the nicknames. It's disrespectful and you are just lazy to write 1 more letter.
This is like the most relaxing thing to watch
Like for Jimin!
...Jimin...from the comfort of your warm house. I was in this situation a week ago, Sunday Feb 9th hiking up Ammonoosuc Ravine trail in NH. Walking on 3' of snow. It was beautiful!! About 21 degrees. We have proper clothing so we weren't cold at all.
Yes I fully agree as we both are probably sitting in our nice warm homes 😬🤗. I watch these late at night in my cozy bed but seriously wish I could be there camping too @ Jimin DuhCutie
Roxanne Gordon I was somewhat thinking the same about sitting in my nice warm bed while watching this. I read your comment after posting mine.
Agreed! I watch his videos while I’m working from home during the pandemic. It has seriously reduced my stress during the work day. Thank you Monty & his minion. 😆
"That's okay." "Oh, well." "Anyway." "It'll all work out." "Let's try." "It is what it is." "My bad." "I just gotta adapt."
Words to live by.
Nice
Noice
He reminds me of someone who is enlightened
He's pretty terrific.
"That's my fault but I'm blaming you"
This dude is a Boss. I know there are a ton of these types of videos, but this guy really does them right. Perfect balance of humor, knowledge, and of course: Dog.
1-6-20 EST / Yes Sir your right, BUT, Matt has a SUPER BIG HEAD , don"t add WOOD to the FIRE. ( Mr. Mark & Dog Shiloh.
Hes just a normal person who enjoys life...an he heck hes in the best area..expect summer I was up that way 20 year ago atv rideing om still pooping black flys lol
Yes! 🤗
I love the fact that he went into the freezing ice water to get Monty just so he doesn't get his paws wet and cold :')....if that isn't wholesome then idk what is
Imagine having Monty's perspective, just his owner singing and yelling to the camera, then hitting the top of the tarp every 5 seconds 😵😂
Monte is just like... this human is nuts but he give good pats and yum food
@@sophiab6486 th-cam.com/users/shortsOmk4Hp3__A0?feature=share
I can’t think of a better way to start my Sunday morning than two hours of Monty.
:D
@@MatthewPosa Is Monty a Sheltie or Collie? I honestly can't tell.
@@rkuzmic I believe Monty is a Collie. Too big for a Sheltie :)
*shouts from far away*: 📣sumthing productive
OH YOU
What a microphone! Just casually talking to us from 50 feet away lol.
can I please know what mic was used?! I want to do survival hiking meditation videos and need a dope mic
Ty Vischjager it’s in his description
I thought he was mic'd at first but then the echo brought me back to the fact it was indeed attached to the camera lol. Nuts

Here's the story of Rhodesia...
This video is one of the last video my Dad watches before he went to sleep and never woke up, thanks for fighting through your illness until the very end, Dad. He loves watching camping videos.Thanks for entertaining and makes him happy with these videos. he passed away this morning. I already miss you, Dad. I love you Dad. I hope we can go camping in the afterlife. Rest in Paradise ❤
Monty is so well behaved! Such a good boy!
He's da best!
@@MatthewPosa He is well behaved because you and your wife have taken the time to train him. All dogs can be well behaved. It's up to us as owners to put the work into ensuring our animals behave the way we want them to. You have done a good job. I'm impressed with your cue to him that he can eat and your queue for "free dog".
First I just wanna say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for not playing any stupid music and letting us hear the actual environment. I love camping sooo much but my accident made that impossible to do now so I live through videos like yours. There’s nothing I like more when camping than listening to a storm. I also love snow and winter but I never did get around to camping in it cause of jobs and raising a kid but I sure wish I did since I’ll never get the chance. Thank you for making these videos.
Hey what happened to you? I hope you're recovering from your accident
@@chalnikal2031 my bet's on a car crash what's yours
@PrizakΨ 3.6, not great, not terrible
Aceg never say never RVs can get u there has what’s needed fr electric. Etc. somewhere some person wouldn’t mind taking u out fr adventure ‘’’’. I would but no RV n if it happens I’d try and get u out there. Me n my puppy dog
@@chalnikal2031 no it’s a permanent spinal cord injury from a motorbike accident. Thank you for the kindness
It's too bad we can't hit the like button every time we watch, a lot of your videos I watch over and over again!
Me too, lol
Same!
Can't believe I haven't seen this one before, has to be one of my very favorites! I loved the snow, the way you set up your tarp, the food you cooked, the way you tucked Monty in. Every single thing about this video was perfect!
1:41 just imagine that he walked all the way up to put the camera there, walked back and then walked up again to get the camera.
It was actually Big Foot who was filming
@@vesicapiscis9717 BiGGfOoT iSnt REaL!!!!!
and later woke up, switched the camera on & got back into bed.
That's what I think all the time!! Haha
Craziness
Your dog is literally built for this weather and is so cute
I love how the dog gets the sleeping pad and you just sleep on the snow 😂
Sam Rashedi priorities
Nice so Good i likes
1-6-20 EST/ BIG B XXX / Matt likes to sleep on the ground ( after a few BEERS so would you) HI Matt / Mr.Mark & shiloh. MONTY (your the star of the show)you sleep on the sleeping pad.Matt buy your own.
Monty the Frosty Bunny don’t ever slow down on the fun! Tell your human it’s all about the sticks and the fun! We love you Monty❤️
So cute how he carried his dog over the cold river :D
I'm impressed how you look after your dog. Peace.
I love this dog. Every video he plops down in the same position for bedtime even tho he knows how to sleep. And every time u have to move him. I LUV IT!!! I LUV IT!!
And he always tells Monty perfect no matter how he lays.
You always cut perfectly. Long enough to get a good feeling for each situation, but never long enough to feel bored. Even though your videos are very long they, I almost feel addicted to keep on watching. Its a treat for my soul. A break from this action filled world.
Thank you.
Man, I feel like your camera work goes unappreciated, take for example 1:46. Thanks for doing all these great point of views, I appreciate your work !
Glad you enjoy! :D
I agree, some of the camera shots are really great.
I noticed that shot too
not too mention some fine vocal projection. Could've been a 19th century orator!
Monty with booties on is the cutest thing ever 😭
This is like watching a Pixar film with no conflict, just all heart.
Aint nobody gonna talk about the song he sung while setting up the tarp😍
I love the way how you always make sure Monty is settled first and that he is warm & comfortable :) You take care
Monty: "I think the human has a crush on me, but I'm getting mixed signals. On one hand, he cooks me delicious meals and tucks me in all nice and warm every night. On the other hand, he wacks me with this big pad randomly..."
Hahaha!
I always feel for the dog, but he always seems fine to, all packed in and when you wake him up he looks so happy.
I liked your video not knly because of your digs but you are showing how to survive in an emergency.!
Cmon Netflix give this guy a show! 👌🏽
dude this is epic... never a dull moment on a 2 hr video.. better than castaway movie 😁👍👍
Fugitive Ondarun you should rent Lt Robin Crueso USN. Dick Van Dyke is Navy pilot crashes and ends on island in the Pacific
That's a good dog dad, tucking his boy in before takes care of himself. Monte really looks like a happy dog. How many dogs get to go on these crazy adventures!
I'm watching this , having my morning coffee. I love the snowstorm.
:D
I love a good storm myself!
Thank you for all your videos
I love watching these, they are so peaceful to me.
Glad you enjoy!
Madeline you have a peaceful face tho
I am new to this video but agree with you.
This is how many people love your dog⬇️

Hell yeah Monty is the best
mangy mutt
I can't believe he has a talking dog I thought my parrot was impressive
I’d die for Monty
this is the cutiest human-dog-relationship I’ve ever seen 🥺
There's a lot of people who put up similar subject matter but...
NO ONE EVEN COMES CLOSE TO MATT POSA.
and. Thats a Fact.
Personality and Charisma like noneother.
Roland
OMG, the dog actuall wears his boots and can run around too! Amazing!
The best meal is a shared meal/time. Just ate (my breakfast) together with you both. You will then go to sleep and I will drive to work and start my day
Starting or ending days with you and Monty is so calming down and brings joy. Thank you for entertaining us!
To all people here, have a great day/night wherever you are! Greetings from switzerland 🇨🇭 Rina
The dog must wonder why he’s always talking to himself 😂
:D
I was thinking that too lol
Monty sings: "Hey I got my blue shoes on and suddenly Spring has gone!".
This was a real survival trip of you & Monty. I truly admire your positive attitude & creativity to make the best of things in all circumstances ♥
Keep on doing what you are doing! Take care ♥
:D Glad you enjoy! Will do!
I love your unwavering positivity and your relationship with Monty. You never stop speaking to us or Monty. Such a great channel!
I appreciate your humility and great sense of humor, Matthew. You are a far more accomplished bushcrafter than you claim. Your care for Monty and Ruger inspiring.
Sundays are never complete without a new video from Matt and Monty. :D
Sang Entar I KNOW RIGHT !! :D
:D
I love your humility and willingness to learn. I also love that you have fun while doing so! You seem like a brilliant person! Wish I could give more than one “like” ❤️
Protector of Animals Award. Amazing always shows us, the viewers Happy and Contentment. Keep safety always guys.
this is probably the most incredible and peaceful content I've seen on youtube. love it :)
Love your videos but I get so cold that I have to wrap myself in a warm blanket. Monty is so sweet.
Thank you! THANK YOU! Thank you! I'm sitting at work and I see M & M video post, come back to it (I work in an E.R.) and there are already 1900 views! Thanks for giving us the "Full Monty" introduction! :D
You're welcome!
Wow! I’ve never worked in an ER that was quiet enough to watch videos. Where are you located?
Fantastic as usual. & I also love plays you & Monty do Together. Most dog owners treat ‘Pets’ as Part of furniture. You & Monty have Such a Lovely relationship. He,s always foremost in your mind please I Love Watching you Tuck him up at night & the way you Share your food. This is for MontyX
your dog is the most lucky creature on the planet to have you bringing him to these beautiful places, you sir are also very lucky:) love your vids keep it up👍
Loved the remake of "Yesterday" HAHA...absolutely brilliant! More songs Matt, more songs.
Hahaha!
Epic!
Agree!!!
Such a good singing voice!
Put it to music!
Loved the intro. This is definitely NOT the weather I’d look at and think, “Wow, great day to go for a hike and camp out.” Monty looks so cute in his little blue booties. You are such a good dad, carrying him across the stream. Really fun video, as usual. Thanks. See you Easter Sunday.
Hahaha!
Just amazing! The hard work you put into all the videos is incredible! I am amazed everytime i watch them. Love them all! Love that Monty! 🐶
Glad you enjony!
Literally it looks like he climbed a tall ass tree just to get that amazing shot . Thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos and pray that you start getting more views and followers you sure deserve it!
5 years ago I found your channel and watched/listened to your vids nonstop while I helped my SIL with my new born nephew. You're videos kept me sane and calm while helping to take care of my SIL (after a c section) and a newborn. Thanks so much!! Love you and your doggos!❤ Sending good vibes from Cali, USA.
Love seeing Monty boldly going where no one has gone before....in booties. And Daddy trying to keep said booties dry. Matthew you are a good human.
Hahaha!
36:52 What a majestic dog.
Hey, thanks so much for these videos - they're meditative.
Your amazing attitude and inspiring videos are building resilience in people who would otherwise think they couldn't handle extreme conditions. *Look at you -- making everyone stronger just by watching!* LOVE.
:D
it truly is a show.... the matt and monty show. the woods is both stage and backdrop
monty is so cute all tucked in for the night
Coffee✔ good breakfast ✔ and a good show with Matthew and Monty ✔✔✔✔ what an awesome morning.
:D
Mate you're unreal I love how interactive and lively you are around your pup, I'm officially addicted - praises from down under!!
It’s great watching someone do something they’re passionate about, and having fun.
Such a great doggie life for Monty, this is how it should be, something so Norman Rockwell about these videos, a man and his dog in the wilderness, I'm addicted
Imagine what this man can cook up with a real kitchen!
only been watching you and monty for a couple of weeks now, but loving the videos, and going back to watch older ones too, your a good laugh, don't take it too seriously and always try and have fun, which is a refreshing change..your both goof balls and that's your appeal ,aswell as great content, keep them coming matey..
Will do!
We Love your channel.!!! Hello Monti !
YESSSSSSS!! My favorite duo!!! God bless you two, and keep doing what you do!! 🐶❤
Will do!
Monty in a sleeping bag must be the cutest thing i ve ever seen. He sooo wants to sleep in....😘😉
The fact that you have SPRING snowstorms makes me so jealous
You have the gift of joy! And for spreading joy.
Oh, Mathew.....you are such a character! I laughed so hard when you were doing summersaults, and Monty was kissing you! Thx for the laughs!! I just love watching your adventures and the love between you and Monty. That dog just adores you! Keep up the good work!!
Hahaha! You're welcome! Will do!
I love when you do the Monty voice haha.. need a little more of this!
:D
Wait....that wasn't Monty?
Monty is such a good sport... and Matt does a tremendous job looking after him, while filming these epic trips.
I miss this type of video so much!! Posa and Monty hanging out in the woods during a snow storm. ❤
I love when Monty uploads his videos. Glad to see he brought Matt along with him 😂😂😂
Matthew: "I'm breaking a lot of sleeping pads lately."
Also Matthew: *whacks his dog over and over with sleeping pad*
Haha😂
I see nothing wrong here. He and the dog are having fun

I keep complaining how there are a lot of broken things inside the house, and I keep playing and running around inside the house with my dog.
@@janitraprabaswara 😁👍🏼
Every night before sleep watching your videos and gonna will better focus sleep
You treat your dog like a human being, I really like the way you talk with your dog and it's always good to watch your video before going to bed 🥰😊
Can't remember for sure how many times I've watched this particular video, but it always lifts my spirits and makes me laugh out loud! Plus I get some really good cooking tips, as I usually have to dust my stove off if I have company over!!
Still adore Monty, what a fantastic dog. I prefer my dogs to most humans as they remain loyal and cheer me up when I'm not so good. His adventures with the silly human are good to watch.
Its 12:01am here in Australia and im keen to watch this as i fall asleep i love these videos......HEY montey
Monty says Hello!
G'day, Yeah and work in the morning, Brisbane 12:19
Just woke up, Melbourne Australia. Monty should really change the video title.
Monty camping in a Spring Snowstorm with my Human Matthew
😄😄😄 M.O.N.T.E.Y
@@robnewlands6174 ..It's 4:15 in after noon here in UK 👍
Subbed for Monty, you and the love for Monty you show. Anyone that will put their 4 legged fur baby ahead of themselves is tops in my book.
This video perfectly somes up the love those two have for each other.. amazing video thank you for sharing!
I had my adventures in a snowstorm like this, I know exactly the feeling, I just didn't have a dog with me, just my cousin and a friend, in the Romanian mountains. And we hade a normal tent, we succeed also to make fire but not cooking, just drinking vodka :) This video just reminded me of my youth. Well done dude, thnx for uploading kind of.
I mean you was still with the dogs
I seem to be a little addicted to Matthew's videos.
:D
I love your relationship with Monty. Your videos are awesome and it brings me joy that people like you are actually real. You have a purity too you that can't be messed with. Thanks Matt.
I am so glad that TH-cam recommended me this video.
I am glad that you are glad that TH-cam recommended you this video. :D

Watched from the warmth of my bed in the uk. Im a icy feet getting into bed never mind camping out in it. bbbrrrrrrr, I love how you love monty ❤
:D
Just a thought, have those potatoes cut ahead of time. Any prep you can do ahead of time will get you to eating faster. Ive not camped in any snow storms... but I love to camp in good weather. Imagining myself fumbling with a sharp knife and freezing fingers. . . It wouldn't end well. Might would even add salt, pepper, all veggies into one bag, meat in another. Boom, boom, cooking. Be safe.
Prepping potatoes is so hard! When I prep my potatoes the night before my roast, I have to put them into water. They will brown if I don't and same goes for my white onions.. I also get freaked out that he will cut himself, but I'm sure he has his ways.
Here in Texas spring is in full force, warm and the birds are singing! Beautiful!
I wish that was here!
@@MatthewPosa You'll get spring weather soon I hope! Then those canoe trips can get in full swing! I can't wait hope to see Funk soon! Love that Monty!!!!
In Finland we call this ”midsummer”
Finland must be beautiful I love snow!

Lol Monty wasn't waiting for your invitation to get onto his mat that time. Cutie Monty stay warm out there. Thanks for sharing Matthew and I appreciate the time put into these kind of videos. Stay warm and stay safe
This video was very interesting even the 2nd time viewing it. There was the gusty weather, the exotic tarp layout, the deep glowing fire pit of which it was amazing to see you light that, the danger of spears from above in the form of branches breaking off, spilling the brewski, the frozen rain storm and Monte waking at night from the frozen rain. Fun stuFF!
Your a good man Matt,,,,,always thinking of your best friend as you carry him over the creek,,,,so he will keep his paws dry,,,,
I do my best for him!
great to see you ,putting your dog first ,well done .

Hey everyone! Thank you Matt for another submission of quality content, it's always a pleasure to see your adventures.
Watching your videos has gotten me really interested in canoe camping! Does anyone have any idea where this type of camping is possible around New York City?
