    CAMPING AND HIKING IN THE QUIET OUTDOORS FOR MYSELF MAKES ME APPRECIATE THE LITTLE THINGS THAT I HAVE IN LIFE THAT ARE REALLY TRULY IMPORTANT TO ME. A GREAT HOME COOKED MEAL OR WONDERFUL DINNER AFTER A HIKE IN THE MOUNTAINS AT MY FAVORITE DINER OR PUB. A WARM COMFORTABLE BED TO SLEEP IN, A LITTLE COZY HOME TO RELAX AND INVITE FRIENDS OVER FOR WINE AND LAUGHS. BEING A SHY INTROVERT MYSELF BEING ALONE MAY SEEM NOT NORMAL TO MOST PEOPLE BUT, IT HELPS ME THINK AND PLAN MY NEXT ADVENTURE IN THE OUTDOORS.

    As someone who hikes/camps with dogs quite a lot, always watch your dogs ears. If they hear something menacing (which will be before you do!) their ears will perk up or lay back, and you can often determine the direction of the threat by seeing which ear moves first. I adore your videos and look forward to more great videos!

    • @LuvThyMind29

      Having dogs sometimes makes the experience more terrifying for me. We went camping last year with our dogs and they acted absolutely terrified at our campsite. Generally, they love being outdoors, but they were frozen stiff and quiet as they stood at our campsite. They were, for once, not interested in exploring (unusual particularly for terriers). It was clear that something was wrong.
      That evening, we had a lot of visitors outside our tent that circled around and kept returning to us all through the night. Predatory behavior. Should've been coyotes given the area but almost looked like a wolf to me when I peeked out (though not in wolf territory).

    My parents brought home a German shepherd the same week they brought me home. He was my constant friend and protector for twelve years. And I've had German shepherds my whole life until our last passed away two years ago. He looked exactly like vilk. And made my life worth living. I'm now 67 years old and my wife is disabled. He passed away when I was in the hospital dealing with kidney problems. So I had to make the hardest decision of my life that he would be are last dog. My wife isn't capable of caring for a dog because of her health. And my health is such that it's inevitable that there will be times that I might not be able either. The hole that has left in our lives is enormous. Cherish the time you have. I love watching you and vilk on your adventures

    I've posted this before, but I feel that this poem - and some of its themes - works so well with this video! Okay, so the concept of loneliness doesn't apply for you, and you and Vilk apparently heard ducks, rather than seeing wild geese, but here it is anyway:
    "Wild Geese" by Mary Oliver:
    You do not have to be good.
    You do not have to walk on your knees
    for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
    You only have to let the soft animal of your body
    love what it loves.
    Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
    Meanwhile the world goes on.
    Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
    are moving across the landscapes,
    over the prairies and the deep trees,
    the mountains and the rivers.
    Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
    are heading home again.
    Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
    the world offers itself to your imagination,
    calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting-
    over and over announcing your place
    in the family of things.

    This was a breakthrough video. It isn't where you go or what you do, it is the experience and who you are with that makes it special. And Vilk is a special companion. You are a storyteller, I truely believe it is your story telling that makes your videos compelling and you so popular. Well, and that you are as cute as a button! That helps. 😁

I just learned within the last 3 years that I shouldn’t dwell on things that are beyond my control & that was a great life lesson .

    I have a story about a disappointment I had for a trip I planned: I planned to go on a week long hike and camping trip up by Duluth, MN on the SHT. I found out the morning after my first night in my tent, that I definitely did not have the stamina to go a whole week ... I went home the next day 😂 it was a valuable lesson in preparing my body not just my psyche

    As always nice to watch / listen to you/ your experience and perspective- Thankyou. Have to say you’ve clearly worked hard on training Vilk - he seems to listen well! So happy for you that you have him as a companion during these adventures - not just safety but also the ride - he feels like the right companion! You mentioned another thing today - the wanting to go on or feeling that I can, because of ego maybe, and listening when it’s right time to turn around/ stop! That too resonated today! Take care and wish you wonderful adventures!

    I doubt you'll read this but I gotta tell ya anyway… Because I believe in giving credit where credit is due. I've been having a rough go of it lately. Nothing new, or major in the grand scheme of things, you know, but rough nonetheless. Just life. In the middle of this roughness… I discovered your videos- and your simple, grateful way of life is nothing short of healing and inspiring. I would love to do what you do… not the UA-cam videos part but definitely the solo simple camping with my dog part. Thank you, thank you for helping pull me out of my funk. Your videos inject a much-needed shot of hope and contentment into my life. Thank you.

    This is a life that I used to know. My dog and I. Sometimes accompanied by my late Wife. Alone in the wilderness and loving it. I can't anymore. I'm just too old and feeble. But, I do still go camping. I load up my motorcycle and travel to a campsite in the mountains. My Dog stays home these days. My Dog does not enjoy it anymore. He is twenty years old. The last time I took him, He complained the entire time and told me that He wanted to go home. I miss life as a younger person. Oh well. We don't live forever. Enjoy every minute of it while you can. It goes by fast.

    Looks like you had a great time, even in knee-deep snow. I laughed a bit at you setting up the tent and hearing thunder. We've all been there, done that, got the t-shirt. It's a right of passage as it were, and you're absolutely correct in that the discomfort is what makes the experience great. After all, how many days where everything went well does one actually remember? I'd wager, not many. Most of us form memories from things we've learned and new experiences we've had, including putting up a tent in the rain or dealing with a dog's soggy paws. There's nothing like waking up the next morning as you did, smiling and drinking a hot beverage, getting dressed and then putting on your boots only to immediately remember that you're boots were wet. You know this because the dry socks you are wearing aren't dry anymore, and the boots are not only wet, they're cold. It's all part of the experience. The only thing that could further cement the deal is when you pack everything up and hike to another location only to then remember that everything is still wet. It may be annoying, but it'll be a memory. Keep up the great work and keep smiling!

    Aww too bad there was too much snow to make it to the cabin! I’ve done that trail a few times and the view from the cabin to the Pioneer Mountains is spectacular. The roof says “the higher you get the higher you get.” Hope you can make it back to see it some day.

    I really relate to the shift you're going through with how you relate to adventure - I make UA-cam videos in a similar spirit as yours - I left what was my dream home in the country, packed up my whole life, got my two cats (Lil and Bubba who travel with me) ready and this month marks 9 months on the road. Have felt myself at times think that "grand" must mean something epic... but I'm realising that it has more to do with the depth and substance in the stories that we live and share that seem to connect with people (epic is good too of course, both are!) Glad your enjoying this amazing country! Sending love from my little stretch of road to yours 💛💚💛

    I'm really glad you have that dog! He looks full grown now and looks like he is capable of protecting you against any foe, whether human or animal! You picked the right breed of dog. Looks more like a Police dog. I'm sure there's that extra expense of dog food and Veterinarian costs but at least you don't have to worry about strange noises outside the vehicle at night.

    Just started watching you a week ago and yes jumped around a bit in the video timeline and picked up a slight sense of your journey and transformation in outlook. While your adventures have this homebody (someone attached to home mostly for you Europeans if you don't know the term) living vicariously, your current insights on the journey, living in the moment and mindfulness are great to hear. Jeep up the great work. Don't stop. It doesn't have to be extreme every video to entertain. Oh, and you might do a contest for "homebodies etc" to go on a week's adventure with you and of course others you have trust in to be safe in a situation with a stranger. You can have people submit a video of why they want to have the experience. Just a thought.

    I’m so glad you discovered my favorite place in the country. The Montana/Idaho/Wyoming trifecta. It’s definitely “gods” country, as some would say. Considering your extensive world travels, I find it interesting how much you’re attracted to the area.
    Obviously you don’t read all your comments. BUT.. If I could make a recommendation of one of the prettiest and most scenic drives in that area of the country. Please drive the Beartooth Basin Highway, and the Chief Joseph Highway (They lead to each other) on the Montana Wyoming border. You will not regret it. Easily could be a national park, but it’s not, so it’s (dog) Vilk Friendly!!
