If Fancy doesn’t yet have a trail name, I propose “Sled”! That upside down whiz down the snow cracked me up! 😂
Erica Jennings Omg! That’s a great one :)
slider
Toboggan :-)
I was 😂😂😂
I’d love an interview with you mom. I would love to hear her thoughts on the whole experience.
Jennifer Ligsay Yes!!
Good idea
A great idea! Your mom is awesome. I can't stop smiling thinking about her eating M&M's from the ground... every sane person would eat those precious M&M's! :D
Yes you made a mistake with the phone but a interview of your mother is a good filler while you wait for data recovery.
Not sure who has enjoyed the trip more Fancy, your mom or you. I'll bet on Fancy.
Dr45120sharp Rothstein I think Fancy as well
The technical term for your dog’s actions is the “zoomies”.
We used to call it "having a mad moment" when we had a dog
We call it Low Butting in order to make the tight turns.
We called it "running the bases." Fancy is an expert at it!
Our Boston used to have the zoomies. She’s gotten too old now. We miss the zoomies
I love how everyone has a different term for this. We call it doing a "pig-boy". I have no idea how we arrived at that term.
Here's hoping that you get the footage back! I'm enjoying this series. I'd love to see you do a post trip conversation with your mom about her experience on the trail.
I'm still cracking up..too funny. Does Fancy have bull terrier in her? That's what my bull terrier does...zoomies lol
I think your dog is broken, have you tried turning it off and on again?
Too funny
Just REBOOT her. PEACE
😂😂😂
@@HomemadeWanderlust >>> Try UPGRADING to the LATEST OPERATING SYSTEM...😊
@@Allan_aka_RocKITEman That reminds me of the time I saw someone describing foxes as running cat software on dog hardware, and I have yet to be convinced there is any better description :D
Dixie, you are the greatest. I'm so happy your mom joined you I know you both were very happy together on your journey. And that Fancy Mae! Wow she really opened up on this adventure, surely seems like she overcame a lot of her shyness.
Will be waiting for the recovered footage videos.
Thanks for your hard work and sharing!
Been watching you since the AT and love learning from you. You, your mom and fancy are great
1. Dixie's mom needs a real trail name. M&M? Man, she's spunky! Maybe "spunky M&M".
2. Another great opening, Aaron. That graphics work was such an add.
3. Dixie, I am loving seeing Fancy come into her own. She seems so much happier. Don't stress about the gap. We'll wait.
Damn! I'm super sad about the lost footage but this series has been awesome so far. It's so amazing to see your mom and Fancy hike like total badasses on trail! My mom recently hiked 5 miles of the PCT with me around Echo Lakes, which is the longest hike she's ever done and I was so proud of her. She even went out and bought trekking poles afterwards too! I can totally imagine the pride you must feel watching your mom handle the trail like a boss! And Fancy is so freaking cute. Looking forward to watching you on the Camino!
Good times and awesome trail companions... doesn't get much better! Thanks for sharing Dixie :)
Happy Trails....
Good to see you here, Intense Angler!
I just wanted to leave a note to say thank you for all of your videos and efforts!
As someone who was an avid hiker and camper, but has now become ill and had the ability and freedom to do it taken from me, I absolutely love watching your videos and seeing everything!
I had always wanted to do a thru hike on the AT, as my home hiking area is up in the NH mountains and I have hiked and camped on many spots along that stretch, but now I’ve found myself physically and medically unable to continue doing it and am no longer able to work to cross that off my bucket list; it’s really wonderful to be able to watch you and you help scratch that itch I still have to see life out on the trail and I appreciate it so much!
Please never ever take your ability to do these things for granted and take in every moment you’re out on the trail! Life is short and unpredictable and you never know if one hike might be the last time you will be able to get out there!
Keep enjoying your adventures and thank you again for all of your hard work sharing them with us!!
Aww, what a shame about the phone! Really hoping the footage can still be recovered. I'll miss this series while it's on hold, looking forward to the reviews (and any interview with your mom!) and have fun on the camino!
This has been so enjoyable to watch, thank you for sharing the journey with us. I hope you can recover the footage, but if not, you’re only human and we’ve all been there a time or two, or three. I would have made the same assumption, so I actually did learn something from your experience.Loved seeing Fancy so happy, and a debrief with your Mom would be great! Happy trails! 🐾💟
So happy you are doing The Camino. I was wondering if that would ever happen.
Love the scenery and watching Fancy hike lol
Similar age as your mom, really encouraging to get out and do a multi-day hike, she did great!
Looking forward to your next vids :)
Dixie, your pup is so cute and I laughed so hard when she was playing on the snow. Oh and I'm jealous that you are able to do this hike with your mom and look forward to seeing you and your sister together, what great relationship you must have with both of them. Safe travels to you and yours.
And Fancy was adorable .watching her play and slide in the snow was a hoot
The videos of Fancy in the snow just completely made my day! She is doing so great!! Sorry about your footage loss, that’s a bummer and hopefully they can get it back. I had NO idea you were walking the Camino, that is awesome!! I have been prepping mentally and physically for several months and I hope I can get out there too in a few years!! Loads to coordinate, so I really look forward to watching your journey on The Camino!! Buen Camino! 👍🏼❤️👍🏼
Fancy looking for the next pop up kennel has my heart.. Great video- thanks for the series.
Fancy reminds me of my dog haley. So full of energy. On a different note, while in the army, we always dummy tied things easily forgotten when you pick up and move. Love your videos.
Totally crying I am laughing SO HARD!!! Fancy is hysterical in the snow and when you and your mom start giggling at her I just can’t stand it! Such great videos and you are just the BEST!! Thank you so much for bringing the JOY of the outdoors to all of us.😊🤣❤️
Me too! I almost choked on my tea when she flipped backwards over the log and then slid down upside-down on her pack. Thanks for a great laugh for the day, but sorry to hear of your phone troubles.
Fancy has gone plum loco ! She's reveling...
I do the same thing in the backcountry when no one's looking, but I take my pack off.
Sorry to hear about your phone...what a bummer! Enjoyed what adventures you did show though. Looking forward to the Camino.
I wouldn't worry about the break in the series. It's just fun getting out with you into the wild. Love the flowers, the stream crossing, just the site of a tent being put up relaxes me. We'll catch up when you get your footage back.
Love watching you and Fancy! Hopefully you get your footage back!!
Dixie (and Mom), I just found you and your AMAZING videos last week and have been hooked ever since. I'm a day hiker, with big backpack dreams to hike the PCT someday. Was happy to see familiar territory with you so close to my home (I'm in central Washington). Was laughing out loud at Fancy's snow zoomies and eagerly awaiting your (hopefully) recovered footage. Thanks for sharing your hiking life with us!
Hi Dixie - just seen Second Chance’s Q & A! You really are a kind and generous person - thank you for helping him and supporting him! On another topic you and your sister will love the Camino de Santiago - we did it in April/May this year. It’s unlike any other through hike with lots of villages and towns on the way! You’ll meet lots of people, some of whom will become friends for life! Please take time to enjoy the history and culture along the way! Look forward to seeing your vlogs along the way! Buen Camino! Best wishes from Devon England.
Looking forward to seeing both series all in one! Sometimes those things happen even to the best of us! Amazing videos so far! Keep enjoying the filling in of the fire closures!
Any plans on going back to the San Juans, to the section you had to bypass last year due to the fires? I've done some camping/fishing in that area, and it is pretty neat. I haven't been back out West for a few years; I'm about to talk myself into going out there for a few days this year before the snows hit. Love your videos.
I have really enjoyed this particular journey with your Mom and Fancy. I second the calls for a trail name for your Mom and a post hike interview with her. Some of us are frankly closer to her age than yours so seeing her out there is just awesome :-) Also- I'd love a little recap on what you see in the changes to Fancy's confidence as a result of this trip. You made it clear that was the big reason for taking her and it would be great to see if you feel it was a success. From what we see in the videos- she seems like a totally new dog now with a huge personality!
Really looking forward to your Camino de Santiago series, I am leaving from SJPDP 9/4 and vlogging it though I am just a beginner. Hope I run into you on the Camino!
Ooh I'm so excited you're doing the camino next - I've really wanted to follow that journey!
Love ALL your videos! As far as the Camino- I offer you the sampler platter - Frances to Logroño, bus to Norte to Bilbao, to Primativo at Oviedo and on to meet the Frances and in to Santiago. I did this last Sept/Oct. and loved having a bit of many caminos.
You need a slow mo replay of those Fancy Mae 360s. Lol! 😊
The 5 second rule gets extended quite a bit on the trail, i think your mom got to the candy in time lol
My only rule is if it lands in wet poop...then no.
Yep, if you're still alive the next day .. 👍.
Just add a zero. That's what I'm doing ;-)
I'm very excited that you are doing the Camino. Can't wait to start seeing the footage.
Thank you for your videos!! I loved the dog in the snow! Thanks for the gear links too, the harness/backpack you have I think would be perfect for my dog!
Fancy is just the cutest dog! She is so cool and funny freaking out in the snow! I love seeing her in your videos as much as I love your videos
I know you are spot on. Fancy is the kind of dog that people try to find. Note how she looks at Dixie for the okay to cross streams or obstacles. She is a great dog. Sketchy dogs are spirited dogs and if they accept the boss like Fancy clearly does they are the best. I have a 90 pound Rott/Lab that is the same way and 5 years old and loves your videos and when Fancy is on she gets so excited I have to pause from time to time.
Laura, Greetings from Joshua Tree California. Mark
So looking forward to your Spain trip. Ever since watching "The Way" with Martin Sheen.
Just found your channel and subbed, I love the way you document your travels and also love your dog Fancy. I'll look forward to more videos!
Awesome trip . Hope you can recover the footage. Fancy looks so happy. Hope your mother is enjoying herself too. Safe travels abroad.
Sad about your phone. Hope your data can be recovered. Watching the video today made me look forward to when I hope to do the PCT someday. My mom wants to do it with me, but I don't think either of us is ready yet, but we plan to do smaller hikes and walks to get there. I just hope we get ready before her age catches up with her and she can't handle it.
Great video! Not just wow, but WOW to the 12th power! Dixie and her sister on the Camino De Santiago, I can hardly wait. Just so you know, I've dreamed of walking the Camino but due to my being handicapped and having recurring cellulitis, I can't. So I've watched just about every Camino video there ever was, Is, or will be. I'm anxiously awaiting your Homemade Wanderlust Camino, Dixie style.
Looking forward to your Camino experience. I just finished the Camino June 12.
Your the best. Thanks for taking us along. Thanks for sharing mistakes made so we will be aware of what to watch for.
Dixie your videos are always awesome. Cantcwait to see your camino footage. Watching your videos and many others has got me exploring the trails close to my home here in Idaho. Keep on trekkin.
It has been such a joy to watch you and your mom and Fancy! Fancy is having the time of her life, it seems! Good luck on the Camino!
Staying tuned in. Fancy makes our hearts smile with her funny antics. Thank you for taking us on your journeys. Would love to see more about your mom like others have suggested
Oh what a drag! So sorry that happened, Dixie. I love watching Fancy enjoy the snow. You really need to move back to CO. I hope they can recover your lost footage.
Sorry to hear about your footage! Heartbreaking but I hope you're able to get it back
Oh my goodness! Fancy is so funny! I had a good laugh! Great video! Your mom is wonderful, as are you! Looking forward to seeing the completion of this series as well as the Camino de Santiago!
My favourite weekly program, especially this series with Fancy & your mom. Already worried about how I'll survive the break. Buen Camino!
No worries Dixie I will be patiently waiting for your next episode. Fancy is so funny in the snow.
Such a joy watching Fancy! You might want to make a habit of putting things down, such as your poles, on the direction of travel side of you when you stop so they are in front of you and visible when you leave. Also I was wondering why you don't wear gaiters. I'm an old guy with bad knees so I'm doing all my thru hikes vicariously through you. Thanks so much for all of your efforts sharing these hikes with us.
Dang! Fancy got a case of the major zoomies!! She missed the trail :D
Do you find sizing of your Altra’s run larger or smaller than normal? I’m finding a 1/2 size smaller is a better fit for me with the larger toe box.
So excited to follow along on your Camino hike!
Sorry to hear about the phone issues. Just loved the footage of Fancy in the snow.
I love that Ruffwear dog backpack... I have the same one for my K9 packing buddy. I especially love the fact that the harness is super secure on the dog and the handle is balanced to turn the dog into a dog shaped suit case to help the dog on ascents and descents through rocky steep terrain...
Hey Dixie, can you please do an in depth review of your Brs stove
I've read a lot of reviews online were people are having issues with the pot stands are bending from the heat.
I LOVED this video!! Your humor and laughs with your mom and Fancy’s antics really brightened my day today. 💕💕 Thank you!!
Also, I second the comment that an interview with your mom would be awesome!! And an update on your experience on trail with Fancy. 🙂
Fancy Maes zoomies are EVERYTHING!!!
Fancy cracks me up! Sorry about your phone & all the best from CO :)
Love your vids!!! From an aspiring thru vlogger, 2 topics I'd love you to talk about are:
1.) tips on uploading video while thru hiking. Do you have issues getting all the footage uploaded (when you don't water log your phone 😉) in trail towns?
2.) as a vlogger, how do you handle filming other people you might run across? I don't want to disturb people that want nothing to do with my video, while still wanting to catch the comraderie and amazing people you meet along the way.
Thirsty Detour PCT class '17
Glad you are enjoying my home State of Washington but very sorry the phone went down here. I certainly am now motivated to pick up hikers as I cross the passes. Never noticed anyoew hitching there before.
No problem regarding the videos. I’m just happy to see them when they arrive. Enjoy your next adventure and thanks for taking us along for the ride.
Hey Dixie, when are you coming to Europe to go on the Camino Frances? I will start with the mountain bike on September 5th from Germany / Düsseldorf and will drive the Jacobsweg through France to Santiago. I expect to be in Spain in mid-October. I've been following your paths since your AT Thue hike. I am very pleased that you will now get to know our beautiful Europe. You will love the old nice cities and beautiful churches. Perhaps we see us on the camino. That would be great.
Have been following you with the idea to walk the CDT, AT or PST. Fancy’s zoomies are hilarious! I walked the Camino Frances from SJPdP to the Atlantic in 2017. Highly recommend walking to Finisterre and Muxia after Santiago.
I've just joined your channel and have enjoyed watching your videos. This one was great. Did your mom get you started in hiking? Fancy is so cute!
Fancy + Patch of Snow = Comic Bliss
I have really enjoyed this series with Mom, but oh my - Fancy’s pure joy over snow or a frisbee has me crying from laughing so hard.
Me also!
I don’t know how you’ll be able to leave Fancy at home when you go on a hike. What a scene stealer!
Still lookin' great, Dixie! Sorry for your camera troubles but will be watching for them. I've one question tho, with all your hiking trails (obviously you're hooked), have you given up on your Engineering career? Can't imagine how you've kept it with all these trips! Believe me tho, I do understand, after years of sitting at that drafting desk ( and then computer desk), that's what finally burned me out and drove me to the woods!! LOL Oh, and btw, when I did quit that, I was living just a few miles from where you're hiking there.
Hi, have you considered retrying gaiters in snowy / sandy conditions?
Your dog's zoomies just made my day (even better) :D! And what a gorgeous area you hiked through!
When are you hiking the Camino? A friend will be on the French Way starting in September. Love your videos!
How do you decide when to leash and unleash Fancy while you're hiking?
Loved this! Sooo great to see Fancy so happy & carefree. Your mom did great. So excited to watch you & your sister’s hike!
Dooooog!!! My puppers act the same way in the snow. It's kinda neat your mom and dog were able to join you for a section. If I lived closer, I'd definitely take my dog for day trips. It's always so sad leaving her behind. How often do you think about your dog when she's not with you?
Sorry u lost all the vids n pics hope all works out for u. Fancy looked like was having so much fun in the snow
Love your videos! They are way good enough to wait for...so I will be looking forward to your next ones...no matter the location. Blessings
I love watching your adventures,you and your mom and fancy make hiking look so easy maybe I'll get the courage to hike the PCT stay safe🌿
Cannot believe youre doing Camino! Always wanted to see your take on that. And French camino! Thats my dream. Cant wait to see this!!
love that silly dog turboing around the snow, my Jack Russell used to do that!
I could just watch Fancy get the snow zoomies for at least 30 minutes
This has been so inspiring! I am turning a nice round number-birthday this year and my 14 year old daughter has declared that she would like to thru-hike the AT to finish out her high school career. I'd love to do a section with her. I am so proud of your mom for braving the wild and going along with you. Also we love taking our dog hiking with us, so I am already a Fancy fan. Hope to see more of her in future videos. Also, Ruffwear had better be paying you some ad dollars or free gear! :-)
I noticed you are using a Black Diamond storm headlamp during this trip and was wondering if you would do a review on it. I'm in the market for a new headlamp and the strorm is one of my options but I would appreciate some first hand input on things like battery life, water resistance, and ease of use. Safe trails and thanks for your channel!
Omg when Fancy slid down the hill on the backpack 😂😂😂😂
Love the background music in the first part of the video. What song is it? Thanks!
Dogs and snow--awesome! Fancy needs her own channel.
Topicwise; Maybe a map preview of your Camino route. Safe travels!
yeah, i would like that, too. a look at the map and a little summary of what she already knows about the route.
Please give an update on the Uberlite situation. Do you know where the leaks were? Was there resolution with Thermarest?
Fancy looked so happy lol made me laugh her running about chasing her tail
Fancy seems to be getting so much more comfortable on the trail!! Watching this series makes me want to take my mom and pup out sooo badly. Happy hiking to you, your mom, and of course miss fancy!
Thanks for the videos! Did Momma ever get a trail name? I love her braids!
Looks like you got yourself a snow dog there! You'll have to relocate to the midwest snowbelt with us. We'll make a Northwestern Wildcat fan of you yet. LOL. I always assumed you used a gopro for your underwater footage. I don't think I could get up the courage to stick my phone underwater. Looking forward to watching your overseas adventure. I don't think any of us would've known the better on your missing footage. We all just look forward to whatever you putout. Good luck in your travels!
I always enjoy your vlogs. (since 2015) You inspired me to take a long trip and experience a section of the AT, and the beauty of the places you hike continue to inspire me. Keep having fun and enjoying the trails to the max.
Dixie! Took a zero day today from the trail. You and Mom are an inspiration! Gonna get a 4-6 miler in tomorrow!
Hi, I'm spanish and I've been subscribed to your channel for a long time. You'll love the Camino de Santiago. If you have any doubt about Spain and traditions, just ask! Also, while you are here, also consider the GR-11 which is 800km crossing the Pririneos and will take you 2 months or so of pure incredible mountains.
I just did the mountain bike version of the GR11. The Pyrenees are absolutely amazing would recommend them to anyone. The Spanish people are very friendly and the mountains are so peaceful and beautiful.
No worries about waiting for the videos. A learning experience for sure. I love how well Fancy does backpacking! She was a riot being so playful, especially sliding on the snow. Very entertaining!
Fancy is fully charged! Those mountain zoomies are killing me! 😂
Oh, so sorry for you about the camera. 😿 Don't worry about us. We've had such a great time seeing all that we have. Near the end of this video, hearing the laughter of your mom through the trees from the trail ahead of you is priceless! Truly, a moment to treasure for you, I'm sure. 😊.
And soon we get to follow you and your sister to Spain?!?! How did we get so lucky? 🤗. Bet Fancy Mae is going to want to go along when she sees you pack your bags. Safe travels!
