- The awning room is working out really well, I'm pleased with this as a springtime hot tent shelter. More snow forecasted mid week, I'll have the cameras ready. ~ Brian (& Sierra - woof!)
The way his dog looks up at him, with tons of love. Is priceless!
Kinda disturbing actually, we all heard the rumors

@Robert Hamilton *clap clap* 🙄
Brother ... Your living the dream ... Most of us are caught in the rat race ... You are living on your own terms .. I think that's awesome . GOD BLESS YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!
It's not as glamorous as it seems, but there are many advantages. Think it through carefully before you commit.
Married mother of 5, there’s nothing and I do mean NOTHING I dream to do more then to have my family out camping and seeing the world in a tent/tiny house/topper. Whichever!! I looooong to wake up early when everyone’s asleep to start coffee and breakfast the way you do. The peace I can feel radiating off of you, is truly what I want most. I’m still trying to figure out how we can make it work. God do I want to make it work. The simple life with my family. That’s all I really want in life.
I love the way she looks at you,,,such complete trust and love
@Robert Hamilton dude you’re weird seek help
Love how you don’t overpower your video with music. Really enjoyed the natural sounds.
EXACTLY... love ti without background noise/music... Perfect.
Real men treat their dogs like he does. You two are awesome.
It’s all funny till someone gets shot in the leg.
"Real men" is that some made up fact you created?
Everyone with a heart treats their pets like this
Doggies are good to have during a snow storm. Three years ago I lost power in my trailer for four days during an ice storm and I wound up making a fort in the living room. Outside high was 12° inside the trailer was 33° and inside the fort with the dog was 56°. She did a good job keeping my feet warm
I like how he talks to his dog. Very peaceful, considerate and tender
I love how you love your sweet baby girl. I lost my best friend a couple of years ago, I had him for over 15 years. It absolutely killed me when he finally passed on. 15 years between a man and his dog is a long time. We had some of the best times of my life together that I will never forget. I STILL cry over him... I can't bring myself to get another dog. Anyway, I'm sorry I rambled on about my dog, just the way you are with her reminded me of Brutus and me. I'm new to your channel, and I absolutely LOVE it. I wish I could do the same kind of thing. I'm very interested in living a lifestyle like this. Awesome job brother!! Stay safe and keep up the good work!!
Agree on the dog sentiments. We know we are going to go through pain when we have to say goodbye, but we keep getting them....true love for these best of friends! I cry for 4-5 days each time.
Justin Hall Sorry about your best friend :(
Regarding getting another dog, absolutely do it, your past friend would totally approve and your new friend will help you heal, times I felt no way I could get another and he/she becomes your new best friend and you can cherish past times and smile about them while sharing and cherishing new times, they heal you every time :) Don’t feel like you’re “cheating” on your past friend If that’s how your feeling. Awesome venture Rick! I’m seriously considering the ARB enclosed set up for the awning. I was thinking it wasn’t as durable enough like the roof top tents but I don’t like how big and heavy they are and taking up the whole rack whole the awning and enclosure takes up hardly any space. After seeing what yours is going through, I think I’m feeling pretty confident about it!
Hey Justin, I'm so sorry to hear about Brutus. 15 years, man that's a long time together! I bet you have some great memories from your time together. I hate to think about the day when Sierra will no longer be with me, that's going to be extremely tough. She's pulled me through some dark times and I don't know where I'd be if it wasn't for her. It's amazing how much an animal can influence your life when there's a special connection. Thanks for telling me about your dog, I love hearing stories from other dog owners. Hope you are having a great start to the weekend! ~ Brian
I am so very sorry that you lost your best friend Sir, truly I am. I have to tell you though, reading your post made me cry I am standing in my kitchen. Crying. Thank you for sharing.
Justin Hall
We Hear you-
He had a great, long life -no doubt about it-
And was loved and clearly missed
My boy was also 15
And I carried him up a hill to a grave site with a view of a farm field while the last - post- death air left his body - brutal.
15: That’s many, many thousands of hours by our side
Buddies
Every day with your pet close by is a gift
Loss is never easy
And yes, some videos have great dogs included which does stir memories of days past with our dogs which isn’t always a bad thing ...kinda depends
Rip Polo -
I like the way he treats his dog. God Bless him in his adventures.
Aww I love the way she looks up at you, you can definitely tell see loves you and she’s a loyal companion...So sweet!!!! 💜
I'm a disabled vet on a pension. This would be something that I could do once I get all the gear. Living off the grid is something I've been thinking about for a while now.
Same here Bro.
Go for it. I wish I have someone to do it with.
Awesome man do record it all and hopefully c u in youtube
It's a good goal to have, good luck.
Don't u dare do it..u dont have it in u anymore..u wont survive..especially being disabled mate
She’s like nahhhhh I’m good pops. Going back in 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That is one deep sleeping doggo, man. LOL. Looks comfy.
I noticed that too!
I am in admiration for those with courage to ditch the daily grind and live free.
the problem is he still needs people to work for him to have the life style he has. He wouldn't have car, tent, computer, camera, internet service, etc without everyone else. it's interesting and kudos to him.
The doggie tucked in at the beginning......AAAWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I was a kid my gran told me never to trust people who dislike animals or music! There's something true about that, especially dogs are a good judge of character and when I see this guy treat hos dog with so much tenderness I'd say he is a true diamond!
@@britannia5370 SO true!
The dog was awesome! When you you check on her and she did not even budge, outstanding!
My shit got pushed in.
Ive been watching you for a LONG while which means idk how long LOL From day one ive loved you/Sierras show! Just letting you know... You two are addicting!
PS. ⬆️
Ive always wanted to send you a reply and i finally did!
When a dog looks at you like that...💕
She's such a sweet dog, couldn't ask for a better companion.
Off-Grid Backcountry Adventures - I know! I rescued a half husky/Malinois from a puppy farm situation and after a lot of love and patience, & gentle training she is a real gem. I see your girl has such a precious heart.
It's Pure and true love 💟❇️
I seen that
Man! The love for this dog is everything our world needs! GOD bless you man.
YOU CAN TELL THESE TWO CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT EACH OTHER😊❤❤❤❤
I have the same ARB 2500 awning and tent setup on my Vanagon Westfalia. The first time I used it was on the Olympic peninsula and it rained about 2 inches that night. I didn't put enough angle for runoff and the awning got destroyed, no tears but the support arms broke and everything was tweaked. Lucky for me ARB's USA HQ is near where I live. Took it to them to see if it could be fixed, and they just exchanged me for a new one. Best customer service ever, great people.
That's awesome they hooked you up with a new awning! I love ARB, they have great gear. ~ Brian
Oh the way she looks up at you with the whites of her eyes is so cute. She is a very comfy warm girl snuggled in the blankets.
Yes i bet shes the best company to have around
We love how you treat your girl. Sweetest most gentle way. 💖
I love the connection you have with your dog, god bless! 👍🏽
Love the storm!! I really love it when you tuck in your dog and put the blanket over his face that’s the best. Heading to the mountains in a few days I hope to get that second storm. Glad u got a storm finally!
Right on Jason, hope you have a great time in the hills! Looking like moisture again Tues - Thurs so this time I'll be ready with the appropriate amount of firewood for my stove. Have a great weekend!

spoilt lucky dog eh
That was so cute! How he covered the Pups eyes so he would not get awoken by the light! Too cute!
He is a very tender hearted loving man. He is the perfect picture of how a man should be. My husband and I have been watching his videos for quite some time. I have never seen him do or say anything mean.🙂🙂
Your girl is beautiful. Thanks both of you for the giggle. Sierra your adorable! That snow fall is so beautiful though. ❄️
I appreciate this style of living so much. Looks so peaceful and anxiety free.
Everything is harder, and hard work. Maybe as a young person, but as a 60yo disabled woman, I don't see the grace in it.
@@LyraKeltica61
Well... I need to get ready... because at 68 years young... I"m having to start over and live in my Vintage 1972 Travel Trailer... Not the first time I have lived in a Travel Trailer I have "Flipped" 17 of them... thought this one was my last one... and now I'm find myself having to live in it... I don't know if I'm bragging or complaining...
Moving back to Albuquerque, New Mexico (US)... and RE-Opening my Acting Studio... Social Security isn't enough money to live on... besides I want to Teach Acting again... but this time... I want to incorporate "Mystery Dinner Theatre" ...
... this is why I am looking at the video... because I need another 'room' on the side of my Tiny Travel Trailer ...
... if I'm smart... I'll turn this Travel Trailer into a Food Trailer and put it with my Dinner Theatre...
Yep... "Let the Games Begin"...
That doggo has got to have the best cozy sleep ever.
You're lucky to be in nature and watch this beautiful snow
Sweet set-up. A wood stove and a dog Is all a man needs to thrive even I the snow and freezing cold weather ! Livin like a king!
I love how the snow looks when night begins to fall . It gives off that indigo blue crystal look. So beautiful
This video came up on UA-cam and in the first few minutes I saw your interaction with your dog. Well, I WAS HOOKED!!! Sierra is beautiful! You treat her like pets should be treated! Plus, I am a Colorado mountain resident, so your channel is right up my alley. Looking forward to watching your adventures!!!🏔🐕🗻🏔🗻🐕🏔🗻🏔🐕🏔🗻🏔
Sierra looks at him with such love! you can tell he loves her sO much!
Seeing you giving Sierra those gentle, morning time belly rubs made me miss my dog Zoey. I got her as a puppy when I was 16, we were 2 peas in a pod for 18 years! She sadly passed away from cancer last year. I still miss her every day! Could you give your girl some belly rubs from me and tell her she has a big fan here in Ohio!
I like your setup. Your dog is so sweet. She is precious.
so the stories goes, that he is still making his breakfast 😁
The love of a human petting his dog while she sleeps - beautiful
OMG! Sierra's adoration of you at 4:43. That face of hers!
💕
She is such an awesome companion, I love all the affection from her. Such a fun furry companion!
Find a dog that looks at you like Sierra does. Lol.
Such a sweet puppy. Adorable. Looks kinda like my dog, the grey one.
Priceless to watch you'r dog sleeping and covered. I can tell how much you love her and take care of her. ❤🐕❤ New subscriber. God Bless you.
Oh the dog is so lucky man. He must be feelin heaven in this cold weather. So comfy. Great job bro. 1 like just for the voiceless.
I LOVE snow. I love winter. I’m retired now I don’t have to commute in snow, ice, black ice anymore. There is something beautifully peaceful about a gentle snow fall. The quiet, the clean fresh air. It’s wonderful.
Thank you for the video.
I love how much you two love each other, and how wonderfully you care for her. She listens so carefully to everything you say.
I feel really luck to have Sierra in my life, she's the best furry companion out here! I love how excited she gets when we hop out of the truck/awning room to go run around in the snow!
Dogs life! The smart dog hangs in the tent in a sleeping bag. And make the owner feed !
You're such a sweet man. It is so apparent that you love Sierra. I hope you love JESUS too, I know He loves you, have you given your life to JESUS and asked Him into your heart? You're not into the world very much, so I don't know if you realize, how crazy it has become and we are definately in the end times. Time is short my friend, and you need to settle your accounts with him, before it's too late. May you and Sierra have a blessed day💌💌💕💕
Yep, I grew up going to church and am very thankful for my solid upbringing. Thank you for such a kind comment. :)
I see how much she loves you when she looks at you. Take care of your precious baby girl. You are a wonderful person.
I love that there's talk on the radio of New Zealand. I'm a Kiwi and love hearing a wee country is mentioned here. Awesome and great vid too! I enjoyed this heaps.
It never snows where I live in the bay so its very interesting to me to even see and appreciate how you are able to camp quite comfortably, and stay warm. Thanks.
Oh lord you don't know what your missing ,snow is great if you can stay inside and don't have to shovel it, but if you do have to clean off your vehicle and drive it's a whole different world...
This is raw and beautiful. You, your girl and Mother Nature ❤️ Not to mention your awesome set up ✨
You are so kind to your dog. You have a beautiful heart.
Thank you for the wonderful comment, I love my dog so much. She is such a fun companion to be around back here and is always putting a smile on my face. :) ~ Brian
I love how you care for Sierra. I have two dogs just as spoiled. Love Sierra
That's awesome the radio stations talks about New Zealand 🇳🇿. I love my country but can't really do what you do in Colorado
Dude I love the way you treat your dog, sucks when their gone....... Miss NY and been over two yrs
Awwww such a old gentle puppy, reminds me of my girl Nala I miss you so much
I love how you treat your dog, you can tell you love her very much, and she you.
I love how much he loves his dog! It is precious to see.
That dog is living his best life😄❤️
I think so too, she's so much fun to be around. Definitely makes these adventures more enjoyable.
The puppy is so comfortable, safe and snuggled up in bed. Bless 😇
They way you care for Sierra... you are a great human!
That dog is so spoiled. He was so motionless while sleeping, for a second I thought he was dead, lol.
wtf
It does make a difference when you stop sugar. I need to stop it myself.
i got your DIY Extend trunk bad. Thanks your Tip. from Korea.
-- Wet snow. 'Love how you love your dog . . . I can relate. Beautiful scenery. Nice editing.
03:40 Absolutely love your dog, steps out and thinks it's to cold and goes right back in like now way am I staying out there lol.
Is that dog spoiled ?
@@dalepeto9620 not at all❤
Now there is a fella that loves his pet.
Tells you everything you need to know about him.
I LOVE watching you and Sierra. Never stop doing what you're doing. I love everything you and your best friend do
what a sweet dog..she's awesome.cool content.planning to do the same some day.
I love a man who treats his dog like he treats his, lol. My husband calls our two dogs sweetie & other names like it.
I’m an ER nurse have done this type of roughing it for four months while helping build a cabin up in Divide, CO. Plan on doing this permanently in the next five years.
That sounds like heaven, my cousin has a cabin up in Divide and he loves it up there!
It was pretty awesome. I’m former law enforcement and a veteran so I was not intimidated in the least about not having utilities or amenities additionally as a child I grew up under austere conditions in a migrant labor camp. I’m third gen child of legal legal immigrants. Grandparents worked Texas cotton fields.
I must say it was pretty cold even in the spring taking a solar shower in our makeshift pallet shower. 🥶 and I did not realize how “feral” I’d become till I rejoined civilization.
The only thing that scared the absolute crapola outta me was: We left our campsite with overlooks to Pike Peak to get supplies. When we returned I walked into our tent and noticed that the blowup mattress we used was moved away from the tent wall it was originally leaning against was kinda askew in the middle of the tent. As I walked into the tent and closer to the bed I saw mud prints on the sheets...big one’s, for the most part the contents inside the tent were undisturbed, it was eerie. I realized we had been invaded by a bear. I started frantically looking all over for where it could have come from!!! Well I found its access point cause the front of the tent was zipped up tight. We had a “surgical precision” cut/sliced along one of the windows. This bear cut along the window seam and crawled on top of the bed in front of the window. The bed slid on the slightly sloping floor and was jammed on the opposite wall of the tent. I also found what the bear was looking for “my BIG NO NO” fragrant shampoo. The bag it was in was shredded!!! But did not take the shampoo or try to eat it. Bottles were intact.
We spent the early Spring and Summer building a very basic cabin and kept our cooking area separated from our sleeping quarters. On a second occasion the bear returned to our site and peeled back the door to a metal travel trailer with no windows. We had stored our food in closed containers, inside a cooler, inside the padlocked trailer. This bear peeled back the lower corner of the door (extremely strong) and reached in with one paw and removed things from inside the cooler. We found the empty jars scattered all over the front of the trailer. This bear ATE EVERYTHING and LICKED EVERYTHING SPARKLING CLEAN.
Once a bear has you in its hunting/foraging area it will continue to come back. We took countermeasures (weapons) and kept our alarm dog close. Regardless I still plan on leaving the big city and taking my nursing, farming, homesteading skills back to the mountain as soon as I can. Takes money to set up safely. Good luck to you out there!! Stay safe and warm.

Lol wow u almost wrote a book ..n posted it twice..
I love that dog!!! The way you padded on that spot and he came over and was like alright that looks like a good spot for me!
I have the newer version room and I've already been through some bad wind storms in the high desert of Nevada and right now I'm going through a snow storm. It's holding up like a champ. I'm getting ready to do a review. Great video man.
Your dog is like why would I go out there? You've made my bed sooo nice and warm inside. See ya!
having a dog makes it doable, what a companion to hang with,, good stuff,,!
Man and shelter is like a relationship. Mans best friend makes it even better
Nothing more beautiful than a man that loves his dog!!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!!
This is how I want to live. Me, my precious pupper Raven, and the wilderness. I LOVE the snow, Raven does as well!! I just recently moved to CO so I’m excited to start making my dreams happen!! I love how you are with your dog, I am the same way lol Raven has literally been my rock since I got her. She fills my life with so much joy. 🖤🖤
My pup stretches like that every morning. I could tell she didn’t want to stay outside.
Sierra is the luckiest dog in the world, you care about that pooch so much. Its really nice to see. Well done your a cool dude.
I love how you care your best friend - there is the reason I’m following you 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕

I am proud of him pretty smart Stay warm!
Video's like this make me want to get out of the rat race :(
You took the words out of my mouth my man....41 years old and sick of that rat race day in and out.
🏁 🐀 🐀 🐀 🏎
Then do it guys! If you can do it take a month or so and do this
I love that you are so good to your baby girl she is lucky to have such a good dog dad.
I just love a good calm snow its so relaxing and peaceful nothing like it in the world. Love that dog what a great animal it sure tells that you are good man by the way you care for her
Well it worked out fine. Love that you have a wood stove in there. Cute doggie too. Thx
did someone suggest the possibility of letting a soup slowly cook on top of that burner of yours.. inside the tent would have smelt wonderful
Purchasing a 5 acre plot south of Alamosa, just east of Rio grande river, for a nice M.O.N. campsite. Cannot wait to return to CO after 20 years, even if it is just for a short visit

Love your doggie she is sweet.. I gave up sugar 2007 and never regretted it. It makes a lot of difference in focus and energy.
Sure looks cozy and i love the puppy love eyes
Love Sierra laying under the blanket like Dad it's snowing it's sleeping weather.
good life i’ve done this many of times out nga bush in Aotearoa New zealand 🇳🇿
Sierra is super cute and so comfy!
That dog is adorable!
