I made a blatant error in today’s video I didn’t catch in time, did you notice what it was??
No, I didn't catch it.
THE BEST LOVE YOU
nope it seemed pretty errorless and quite an adventure😁 do you think Frank would benefit from AGI?
Hmmm ... no I did not see your error.... I was already WORRIED about that unaffected bear lets' just say, haha.
I didn't.... Oh, do tell Amanda
Frank is such an awesome copilot. He travels so well on the paddle board, his patience is so incredible.
I chose a board that’s spacious and stable so he’s comfortable and feels safe enough to fall asleep. He was my main priority in choosing a water craft and I would say I did well by him.
I loved seeing your enthusiasm as you took your paddle board to a truly serenely beautiful camp site. So glad you avoided a bear confrontation. ❤️
What wasn't interesting in that video??? Held my attention the whole way through ❣️. BEAUTIFUL 😍. You are impressive with your independence, and bravery!!!😲. Frank's always impressive but especially the way he trusts you on the paddle board ❣️. That bear was a bit to close, was glad to hear your big girl voice, and glad to know you had bear spray. I think you should write your dry mix recipes down (plus others) could make a good recipe book/booklet to sell , I'd be interested and I'm not even vegetarian! Your dry mixes sound delicious and would be very handy!!! ❤❤❤
You are so brave to venture off into the unknown. It looked really fun, though. It was fun watching Frank be so happy. Thanks for taking us along, I really enjoyed the whole adventure.
What a gorgeous place to be! My heart was pounding hard when the bear showed up!
Me too 😅
THIS to ME is the true definition of success....to be the mistress of your TIME, to do what brings you joy and fulfills your spirit, to appreciate the "small things", and to share your love with someone who truly deserves it (Frank is the best boy!!!! He was so consistent with telling that bear to piss off!)....bravo! Thanks so much for sharing this with us.
Thank you Wanda 💜 I appreciate this reminder.
This was one of my most favorite videos. Utubers try too hard to make videos exciting. Just showing how you live your life and telling us what you think is very interesting to me.
Thank you, I really appreciate it 🫶🏻
💯 agree!!
That was epic! Amanda. Thanks for taking us with you. Frank, you are the best bear barker!
Frank is just doin his job protecting you....good boy!!!
Always mind blown you do this solo. Your happiness is contagious! And Frank is such a pro!!!! It’s awesome Frank is ready to roll again with his foot! ❤❤❤
Even before the bear visit, this was one of my favorite videos. The spot you found is my dream spot. I love this video so much for its serenity and simplicity. And the love you have for Frank. I have that with my dog Willis.
I hope you and Willis have a great summer together 🤗
You really are very brave. That bear paused and thought about approaching you and Frank instead of instantly running away, and experience has taught me that means it may come back later. It's why I don't love tent camping alone, and why I always have bear spray strapped on when I'm hiking/fishing/camping. You never need it until that one time you do right? Such an amazing spot and another great video. ❤
Sh1t that bear scared me for you and Frank. Thank goodness Frank barks loudy to warn off danger and warn you. He is very protective, such a good boy.
I can imagine Frank was fierce in his youth. He is the best friend ever.
The little adventure looked so beautiful. Glad you and Frank enjoyed your break and got home to the van safely. 💪💓
What a stunning spot! Idyllic. I love when you discuss, whether hypothetical or not, the natural world, how an area comes to be, or how it may have come to pass. You are a scientist at heart. Thank goodness that wasn't a cub....things may have gotten hairy. It was so delightful to see Frankaliscious rolling gleefully in the warm, wet, soft ground...he was fully committed to revelling. Cheers from Ontario 🫶🫶
Thanks Susan 🙏🏼 I studied Earth and Ocean sciences in university and I enjoy how it shapes my experience in nature.
@@tidelinetoalpine you are most welcome.
I really enjoyed this video Amanda. What an awesome place to camp . Just you Frank the 🦫 beaver, frogs and a 🐻 bear.😁 Thank you for sharing.😊❤️
Oh my goodness I am so happy for you two! What a beautiful, peaceful place to camp. Seeing Frank rolling around on his back ,pure joy!!!! Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful moments of your life❤
Thank you Lori, I appreciate you tuning in 💜
@@tidelinetoalpine I look forward to your videos and generally watch as soon as they post😊
Your content is so real and honest,it's pure joy to feel like I'm part of your world, if only for 30 minutes , thank you for all the work you put into your videos ❤️ That bear scared the crap out of me and I wasn't even there!! Way to keep your cool, I think I would have been packing up in a heartbeat 🥴
Wonderful to see Frank rolling about in the grass, he looked so happy. Really enjoyed this relaxing video.
Thank you ☺️
Frank is a good boy. He let you know about that bear 🐨
He’s a great alarm system still 🙌🏼
On a cute note my little dog was under the covers with his head sticking out when Frank started barking so he looked at the tv and kept turning his head side to side listening to Frank. It was so darn cute. Glad you made it through the bear sighting. ❤
I always look forward to your videos. I usually reserve them for when I get home and cozy before I watch. Thanks for being your unique self.
This is such a wonderful video! I totally get your enthusiasm to be out there on the water and camping with Frank. And yay for camping in comfort! I am jealous!
Thank you ☺️
Oh my gosh, that is a LOVELY spot!! I'm on my annual 2-week solo camping/hiking trip in the wilds of the Weatern Cascades. I wanted to give you a hearty thank you, as I tried your fire-building method, and I have had 2 wonderful fires that I didn't have to tend every few minutes. I admit, I was skeptical at first, hooked on the old kindling-small sticks-larger sticks-then logs method. But I was pleasantly surprised! Thank you Amanda!!🎉😊
It bring me so much joy to hear that! Thank you for sharing and watching my videos while camping. I hope you have a great time.
@tidelinetoalpine Thanks Amanda, you, too!!
Great relaxing ( Until Bear) spot. Enjoyed all the peaceful shots and really appreciate your relationship with Frank.
I am impressed with your ability to go solo. 👊
What fire-buildling method? I'm so intrigued now! Can you point me to a specific video? I just watched the campfire on the beach silent video which (obviously) she doesn't talk in but I can see how she built the fire, is that the one?
I need the fire video, to! Tia
Loved it when Frank put on his big boy voice!❤😂
Schnarf schnarf, all fours in the air -- thanks for sharing your and Frank's joy!
Thank you for watching, it’s such a blessing his foot finally healed and we can start making the most of summer.
Great to see how much you guys love remote camping.
Good boy Frank!! What an exciting adventure!! 🐾🙏🏻✌🏻
Stay safe. ♥☺♥☺ Enjoy.
I have been watching you for years now and I haven't felt bored....ever! I love it when you slow down and show the flora and fauna that surrounds you in the epic spots you choose to travel. I have always wanted to go to Haida Gwaii and you are inspiring me to do it soon. Thanks Amanda and Frank
Great video! I was not bored at all! No need for bears to show up for my entertainment. What a gorgeous spot and than sunrise was crazy beautiful. Love seeing Frank swimming!
Thank you! Sunrises are my favourite part of tent camping. It’s easy to miss them when sleeping inside the van.
Frank’s cuteness just kills me every time.
Loved this one. Cracked me up pretty good that you’re like “thanks for watching even though we aren’t doing anything exciting“ and then bear shows up with no f*s to give. 😂😂😂 Chill times with Amanda and Frank are so awesome!
That was beautiful. Thank you Amanda
Wow, another outstanding video! Your gift is seeing the beauty then bringing us into your experience of a place. It's wonderful. That golden light from the setting sun illuminating the trees along the shore, ugh, so perfect. The way you explored and unraveled the history of how those trees came to grow in a straight row and how a big fallen tree could change the shoreline so much over time. I love it when I can connect with nature in that way. And Frank is such a hero. A good dog like Frank provides a wonderful bubble of security. It was so cool the way he dozed but had his nose oriented toward the breeze. Your swimsuit is cool and looks really nice on you. It makes me so happy that you two got to have these days together out on the lake.
I too thought it was a cub. It is so good to see Frank doing what he loves to do. The awsome places you go with only Frank amazes me. Well it scares me sometimes. Thanks for taking me along. It was very relaxing. ❤
That lake was so serene and peaceful. Totally a place to relax and chill out except for that one exciting moment with the bear to stir up the adrenaline. Oh and also the biting bugs but other than those two things it pretty much looked like paradise. You were prepared to deal with that bear and you dealt with it exactly how one is supposed to.
You probably already know, but I’ll mention it for others, to look at the bear spray expiration to make sure it’s still viable. I just replaced mine. Also, don’t throw your expired spray in the garbage. You should contact the refuse company to find out how to properly dispose of it. For me I had to make an appointment and drop it off. It’s for the safety of their employees, especially those who may be near a can that explodes open when it gets compacted.
Great tips!! I frequently check my bear spray expiration and my fire extinguisher to make sure it’s charged. I think what people don’t realize is that’s it’s the propellant in the bear spray that causes the expiration date and you definitely want that fresh 😅
You’re awesome Amanda!!
Frank swimming is the absolute best, and his closeups are freaking adorable! Many thank🐾🐾💚
My dogs are Liberty 12, Fiona 10 & Max 9. There is lots of reflection and yes some tears.
But I have been so blessed to share these years and memories with them. ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing your and Frank's camping adventure. So fine. When I was younger we would camp for days in the Boundary Waters Canoe Wilderness. Such good memories.
Someday I will travel East and will definitely be doing a trip to the Boundary Waters
Loved everything about this video from the attention to the mosses & lilly pads to all the sounds, colors, thoughts, hypotheses, food details...& of course Frank!
This is epic. You are so confident on the paddleboard. What a fun adventure. Thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you 🙏🏼
I am so impressed by your courage to go off alone like you do ! Way to go ❤
I LOVE seeing Frank-a-lin swimming!!!! Love you both! 💚💜💚💜
Just like Lorde sang about her pup, Frank is a Big Star 🐾
Such a lovely camping spot, bear and all! I really enjoy your videos and never once have I thought them to be dull. Stay safe and hugs to Frank The Mighty Protector!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Probably the most beautiful place ever - those water Lilly’s!!! Great to see Amanda look so naturally well. Not down or trying hard to be positive. Just naturally happy.
Looks like an amazing trip.
I love your videos I live in my minivan in the lower 48 currently I'm going through chemo, you and Frank thank you
Sending you lots of strength and healing energy 💜 I hope you are finding peaceful places to park and enjoy nature.
Amanda you have given Frank such an amazing life. My best memories are of all the adventures and quiet times I got to spend with my dog in the backcountry. Watching your videos reminds me of how lucky I was to have my Freddy for 14yrs. We had our fair share of bear encounters. Freddy always let me know when one was close by. I really enjoyed this video. Thank you! ❤
My favorite youtuber glad you're back!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!! It was a big week on the road and I fell a bit behind on videos but I have some great stuff filmed.
Groovy!!! Can't wait
Hi Amanda I truly enjoyed this video I think I'm living vicariously through you. You are doing things that I would love to be doing. You are so brave and adventurous. I love the relationship that you have with your dog, you guys are an awesome pair.
What a lovely overnighter - I am impressed with Frank’s balance skills on the paddle board. Just to say - you DO increase the chances of seeing bears if you camp beside water. Grizzly and black bears….so good for you for keeping the bear spray close by. Three miles back from water the chances significantly decrease. Nice job.
Great adventure!
We keep watching cause we enjoy watching and somewhat envious of someone having an awesome time out in nature.
Loads of warm hugs, love and light❤
OMG! Your big big continual smile! 😊😊 great video girl.
😊 thank you, lots more adventures like this coming this summer 🙌🏼
👋😄 What an amazing camping adventure! A great paddle and a most beautiful campsite with a symphony of frogs, a little relaxing in rhe hammock, some reading, some excitement and a sunny afternoon swim all with a good friend ! Perfect!! 👍❤
Have to comment on how absolutely thrilled you seem to be in this video!
It’s great to see you “giddy” in the wilderness with Frank!
My Fiona n I are heading out for our own adventure- you n Frank inspire us thank you!
I loved this adventure. The bear made me a bit nervous, glad you have Frank that can smell one. That place was so awesome.
I was writing a book in my head called the ADVENTURES of Frank, written from his point of view. He has had some great ones. I had him talking about losing his ability to hike. Which can happen to seniors…and his perspective of having you loving him through it all. I love that sweet doggie. Wish seniors had such kindness.
"Not very impressive?!" It's stunning. Here I am thinking of buying an inflatable paddle board because of you! At 67yo!!! LOLOL. Next you'll wrestle a bear....that's what my dad would have said. Be safe and keep on bringing us beautiful nature.
You’re never too old to take up paddling! It can be so relaxing and I love chill days where I just paddle a little glide then bob around on glassy water enjoy the views.
Hey Amanda, that was a fun video so awesome to see you going a little camping trip and on your paddleboard as a mom I was a little bit worried when you saw that bear and you only have the shelter of a tent. You are a brave soul you and Frank I’m so happy you made it back home safe and sound to your tiny little home. You guys always make my day. Be safe out there.🇺🇸♥️🫶🙏🙂🐾🚐🏔️🇨🇦
That stunning 360° panoramic video moment was frame worthy, brilliant!
Thanks for taking us along Amanda! Beautiful scenery, peaceful vibes, wonderful wildlife views and of course, Mr. Frank! I'm happy to see him thoroughly enjoying his adventure and sharing his best life with you! You will have fond memories of this time down the road. Warm salutations from Arizona!💕
A perfect trip! A nice mix of fun, relaxation, and excitement. I’m glad you and Frank shared your adventures.
👋🏽 such amazing cozy hidden spot🦋⛺️
We really lucked out 🤗
This video is so cozy, haven't gotten to the bear yet!! The audio you got of the frogs is some serious asmr 🔥😋 I really love learning about the different types of flowers and plants you identify
O! The smiles on both of your faces for this video!!! Even w the bear, you two both showed the exhilaration of being together on this adventure! Did my heart good! Thank you for sharing! ❤️✌🏻✨
This video was incredible!!! What an adventure!!! The ambiance the first night with the singing frogs, birds... wow... it must have been like this all over the planet before the human virus... And then the bear at the end!!! Absolutely beautiful, all of it. 😊❤ x ... and the bats!!
I was so scared I had to fast forward to the next morning! You are brave and beautiful. And Frank is enjoying all what you do together. So sweet!
Swimming must be so enjoyable for Frank, pain free activity away from gravity. I so feel for him. By the end of day arthritis takes over making every move a struggle. But when I am with my dog out for an adventure the pain is so easy to ignore! I love your camping adventure, love seeing you both so happy! Thank you for sharing!
I loved this! Lol, I think braving the biting flies required more energy than the bear episode! What a beautiful adventure!
Great Video, Frank is such a good partner. Thanks for taking us along!
That was an amazing paddle out camping trip. Love that you don't let fear or what ifs stop you from doing the things you love.
Much love 💜🐾
Absolutely loved this video! The calmness and the serenity captured was definitely felt through the screen. Also I did want to say that there are always going to be those people who have to have everything fast paced and videos have to be filled with event after event to claim that its captivating enough, but just let me tell you that that doesn't mean that your content isn't exciting enough. I absolutely loved listening to you talk about different species of plants, all the nature that you were able to experience, the meals prepared and of course sweet Frank. Honestly everybody brews a different cup of tea, but just because there's is different than your cup, doesn't mean yours is less tasteful! The feeling of calm and the slow living you display with your dog is why I keep coming back because you portray that so beautifully and I yearn for that lifestyle with my own pets. So I know I'm going off on a tangent now lol but I truly felt like I needed to tell you to keep posting content that's original to you and not the wants and needs of others or trying to meet their expectations...because that's exhausting and your videos rock by themselves just you, being you! Have a happy 4th of July tidelinetoalpine! 😄
I just love your adventure videos!!! TY for taking us along!
Such a lovelyyy time for you and Frank❤❤ Beautiful scenery as always!!! Glad that bear didn't intrude your stay😮😮 Thank you Amanda🎉🎉
I love your treeline hypothesis! My mind works like that.
The timing of the bear showing up was hilarious! What you were reading...😅. I did see that you were trembling! I would have been too! The adrenalin! Heck yeah! Frank is such an awesome bestie to have with you. He definitely has a soul like that of my Houndie. He loved watching sunsets and sunrises, waves, birds, wind blowing grass or flowers... I still miss him. With him gone I don't push myself to get back out on the road like I was.
I've been to the local shelter twice to see if I would meet a new road dog but I just started bawling both times and had to leave. So, not yet. And I can't spontaneously meet and move in a new friend because I have landed in an apartment, of all places. I have guilt about becoming stranded in an apartment at the end of Houndie's life. I believe it shortened it and definitely was nothing like the quality before. I'm regaining my faith that everything has it's reason and time and mine with another dog will happen when it's right for both of us. A deer! 😂😂 And I love all of the moss shots! 👋
That was a cool camping trip. It had everything, so peaceful & relaxing, yet with a bit of action suspense with the bear. You are both so brave, with Frank protecting his mumma barking, what a great boy he is. You have certainly given him, his best life. You are a great pup owner, cheers
Fantastic to see Frank swimming again! What a trip, what a video. It’s very generous of you to share these special times, thanks!
The scenery is so gorgeous there. This is a great video to chill on a Sunday afternoon
Really enjoyed that calm serene adventure..so beautiful when you can get away somewhere calm and scenic..I'm sure the bear interrupted that calm for a bit..just so glad it didn't come any closer!!..love how protective Frank was of your..such an amazing companion Frank is..look forward to more adventures❤😊
Wow Amanda this was an awesome video. What a beautiful spot you and Frank found and wonderful to see Frank playing in the water. That bear added some excitement but wow also a bit scary. I'm watching from Australia so no bears here. I really enjoyed this video. Take care and see you on the next one 😊🐾
I watched this video last night and throughly enjoyed it. Seeing you and Frank so happy was so uplifting. Thank you for taking us along on your adventures.❤
I loved just relaxing with you and Frank! ❤ thank you for taking us along 😊
It is so wonderful to see you and Frank back out on the paddle board together!
I thought it was very interesting when you explained how the spit of land may have formed by the large fallen tree.
Thanks : -)
Beautiful update! Really enjoyed the sounds and sights you shared. Yes! Bear visit was a heart palpitating moment! And reminded me a week ago, I was out in the wilds and swimming in a lake - a nice moment to re-appreciate time away from cities. Thanks!
So Frickin Beeautiful Amanda! You seem to find the absolute BEST places to camp! Frank was having such a Good time with you.❤ I LOVE your videos!
Thank you 💜
What an incredible moment of frogs and colours at 13:45 ! You bring the nature right to us, we are lucky!
I loved this video. Thanks for letting us to tag along. 💚💚💚
Thanks, guys! Really enjoyed this "impressive" adventure. As you said, 'exciting, relaxing and peaceful'. Thanks for bringing us all along. Keeps your light shining bright! Looking forward to more adventures on Haida Gwaii with Amanda and Mr Frank
Your photography is incredible. I loved this camping trip. I felt like I was there with you and Frank. 😊❤
So happy for Frank-amous 🐾🐾🐾🧡🧡🖖🏽. Loved the video ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉 awesome scenery!!! Takes for sharing with us!! And the girls stopped barking after a while.
That was beautiful and mainly peaceful! Bear!!💜💚
I don't often comment on videos but I just loved this one. Fantastic. Thoroughly enjoyed the tranquility. Inspired me. 😊
Awesome camping trip. Thank you for taking us along. Happy Birthday Frank. That Bear was wicked wild. ❤
Frank is sooo chill! Or very well trained. He's adorable!
Your eye for nature is beautiful and so enjoyable when watching your videos. Thank you. God bless you and Frank in these hours you share.❤
What a grand adventure. Fearless Frank spoke right up at that camp invader. I am so happy for you both 🤗 Sendin Grandmama love ❌⭕, Iris and Little One 👋🐾
I had to pause the video and say thank you for taking me on your adventure..
I can really feel myself there with you ..I can almost smell the air and feel the earth ..I feel that my soul and my heart and body needs it so much..
You are so rich in adventures and grateful moments..I can feel your heart expanding and it's making mine do the same at the moment so back to the video I go ❤
What an amazing trip you and Frank had! Living vicariously through yall! Thanks for sharing it with us 😊🫶🏼🩷👍🏼
Such beautiful scenery and such a lovely video with a lot of excitement. 😮 🐻 As always thank you for sharing and give Frank a big hug for me❣️
I love Frankie so much :) Beautiful video :) I feel the same about sweet Chester who is now 4 1/2... seeing him happy and healthy is everything to me. For me simplicity is exciting and impressive :) Frankie is so precious.
💜💚 Thank you so much! 😊 You and Frank are amazing! Thank you for that exciting and beautiful adventure! 💜💚
Oh, what a wonderful spot to make new memories! I'm not going to lie tho I was scared for you with the bear there. Glad he went his own way after all. What beautiful colors the sky had too. I loved this video and watching you two on such a fun adventure together. You have guts that's for sure! Thanks for sharing.
