Being emotional after all the trauma you've been through is only human. I'm glad you're able to literally release the toxins from your body by releasing the tears. Hugs to you...hoping the best for the home front repairs... Give Bruce tummy tickles.
My heart goes out to you and your family. I’ve been watching since when you started and watched your video when you want out after your father pasted. I lost my Uncle on Christmas Day so I do understand. Don’t apologize for missing someone you love, I’m having a hard time myself and cry a lot “hugs you tight” your an amazing person with a huge heart and you love Brucey so much 😉 he is an amazing dog ❤️ This year has been terrible in so many ways and to add insult to injury property and home damage for you. My prayers and healing white light I send to you all. These are the times that above all need to stay positive and rely on each other. You both and your family will get through this one day at a time with love and faith 🥰❤️ all my prayers and love from the Pocono Mountains, PA 🇺🇸
It's the ones who don't show emotion are the ones you have to worry about. Another great camp brother. I definitely have to camp in New Zealand someday #goals
Nothing wrong with shedding a tear over your dad. I was at school when my dad died and 2000 miles away when my mom died. I tear up every time I think of them. Unfortunately we are all going.
Thankyou for your video. Never apologise for getting emotional it takes a real man to cry. You are an inspiration to many people and just watching your videos brings us joy and we are right there with you and Brucie. Love from the UK
It never gets easier mate. I buried all of my family in a 4 1/2 yr period that stopped 11 yrs ago. Dont beat yourself up. And you still have your wife.
Just lost my mum I miss her every day..so hard going through her things and throwing away years of memories ..I know it will take a long while to fully get going again
Anyone that thumbs this down is a terrible human. You might not like to watch a grown man camp. But this man put his whole heart out there. I’m sorry for your loss man! You and Bruce are what I watch lately before falling a sleep!
You are one of the really decent people out there on the net. Your fans can tell, and screw the rest. We are all glad you are okay. Like you said - Bad Year. But you and Bruce made this bad year a little less miserable. Your upbeat optimism and Bruce's boundless energy has helped keep a lot of people's spirits up. Thanks for that.
Sir, Thank you again for these videos which have been instructive, and therapeutic. Sharing your emotions was appreciated for your transparency, humility and grace. I do hope you return to the camp by the sea, this time absent such stormy weather that tested your mettle along with some of the equipment. I appreciate the patience you demonstrate with whatever task is at hand, from setting up to tearing down and all that lies in between. What you say is just as important as what you are doing. Taking what comes and adapting, modifying and overcoming is what you do well while both informing and entertaining us with sights, sounds, and silence. As so many have shared, the sound of rain is soothing offering serenity when other things demand so much from all of us. Bruce is the best companion and fellow adventurer. Stay healthy, stay strong.
went form 10 to 30k subs when he started these really long awesome videos, will just keep on going up is my guess so Invest all your money in Brucecoin now and get rich
You got more then a thumbs up you have my admiration for speaking about such a heartfelt subject. Prayers and love from Hawaii for your dad you and Bruce ❤️
Hey Tony. Please don't apologise for being emotional. We've all lost a loved one. I wish you and your family well. Great to see you and Bruce at it again.
Tony,, I thought about you and your dad all night and this morning when I woke up and got on to my computer for another day of work, I started to think of my dad who passed away about 15 years ago. I loved him very much and first introduced me to camping when I was very young. Your tears and wishes that you could have been with him is his legacy to you. And you can rest easy knowing that the winds of changing time and space will once again at some point bring you together again. It will bring us all together. And look at how many people love you and how many of us you reach. I am sure that everyone that took time to make a comment feel like they are your friends and this includes me also. btw, I love the 3 hour videos!!! count one more vote for that!! Cheers my friend! David in Detroit Michigan USA
Having spent the last 25 years in emergency medicine & bring a parent I can tell you this. You have feel bad for not physically being there with your Dad at his passing but he knew you were there with him. You were with him when you could be & I am sure he appreciated that more then you know. Any parent understands when their children grow & start a life & family of their own that becomes their priority, as it should. I am glad you & your family are doing ok & surviving the struggles. Im sure your heart feels better getting that off Your chest. Thank you for taking a night away & sharing it & Brice with all of us. Continued prayers for you all & your hoke situation. Hopefully everything turns out ok with your insurance company. 🙏🏼♥️
Sending you a big hug Tony. You can become emotional when ever you feel like it. You just do not know how your camp outs got this old lady through the lonely winter months and being shut in because of covid running rampant. Now with the delta virus, even though I'm vaccinated, I'm still pretty much on lock down, you and Bruce make my day and very lonely evenings.
It’s so great to see you and Brucie. We sadly lost our 13 year old puppy suddenly two weeks ago. Within 48 hours she was gone. We are so devastated. Thank you for bringing some smiles to our faces. 🙏
Lost my pop when I was 17. I’m now almost 75, yet I tear up every time I dwell on him, so I understand how difficult it is. Soon you’ll have more good memories than bad.
The people that thumbs down your videos don't even watch your videos, those are usually from other UA-cam's trying to effect how well your video does. Keep up the good work Tony, calm seas don't make a skilled sailor so thank the heavens for the stormy weather..👍✌
I love that you know who Steve is. Taking inspiration from him isn't wrong either. Your content is unique in it's own many ways (: Take care, man. Love these.
Thank goodness you and your wife were ok. So sorry to hear about your dad, your house, and covid. Sending prayers for you. Your videos really bring me a lot of joy.
I pray to God for your health, wealth, and decent life. May you fly high in life and achieve success in everything. Sending best wishes for your success. LOVE Bruce, Best of luck.
I picture myself camping down the river and seeing this red glow in the distance…thinking to myself, this is it…my paranormal camping moment..I’d hide in my sleeping bag wondering why the hell I went out there in the first place 😂 Glad to see you and Bruce out and about again!
Stay strong man. remember " This Too Shall Pass" . soon you will look back and see at all this from better times. May your father's soul rest in peace.
My prayers 🙏❤ thoughts 🙏😔 go out to you your family seeing you and Bruce cheer me up. Here in UK 🇬🇧 your an amazing guy and have my respect 🙌 keep your chin up x
Don't ever apologise for showing your emotions Tony, you're a true inspiration . These videos help me mentally. Keep them coming and thank you always for sharing your life with us
Watching this a year later and what we all have been threw in 2021&2022 lightens me up just to see you a hard but loving guy showing true courage you definitely inspire me into anything can happen we just have to keep going big motivational person you are to many lives ❤ stay beautiful stay blessed 🥲 ❤
Love your videos mate. Look forward to them and the longer the better. You bring us into your camp and we escape for a few hours. They are my go to chill videos now. Congrats on the awesome job. Hi Brucie!
You dont have to apologize for getting emotional my friend. Its ok to grieve and hurt. I once read that grief if love that doesnt get to its intended target. Dont ever feel ashamed to show that love. Stay strong buddy
Awesome video. Real, honest and down to earth. More blokes should discuss this type of stuff instead of bottling it up. Thanks for making this. Pancakes looked good. Cheers Scarchie
Okay I never leave comments but 39minutes in hit me hard. First of all, on behalf of myself and everyone here, Thank you for being so transparent in your videos. You're truly are genuine kind person and listening to your stories about life is amazing. My biggest deepest condolences, especially during these hard times. Stay safe!
I always give a thumbs up. I wish I could do what you do, I'm 57 and have nerve damage in my arms and legs I've lost both my parents and miss them every day keep your head high and keep doing the things you do please.
Being emotionally raw isn't stupid. You are grieving and that's okay. You bless us with your vulnerability. Thank you for being real, and for all your amazing videos!
This is why I subscribed to your channel, because you are real. You talk about the hardships you're facing and aren't fearful to shit on poorly manufactored products. Plus, you have good taste in beer. Thanks for this video, especially when you're going through crappy circumstances.
Always hits home when you talk about losing your father. Both of my parents are getting on in age, mum has already had cancer (beat it thankfully) and dad is in sharp decline physically. My condolences for your loss.
I have just discovered your videos and I LOVE them! I put them on and feel like I am there with you and Brucie. Thank you for posting these cool videos and all the hard work you put into them.
Aww mate, I teared up with you. Its been a rough 18 months, and some have had it a lot harder than others. I'm so sorry for everything thats going on at the moment. Can't imagine losing my Dad, and in the circumstances that were going on at the time. Praying with you and your lovely family. All the best x
Tony, I send my condolences to you and your family for the loss of your Father. Never be sorry for being the man you are and showing emotions. I’m also sorry about the health issues you’re having. One the the best therapies ever is being out in nature with your best Bruce. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for just being you. I absolutely love watching you and I'm getting my husband hooked also. He loves that you have a drink and a cigar. I just love to listen to you talk. Bruce of course steals the show!. I love that you can keep a smile on your face when it's pouring down rain... I myself love the rain. Just keep doing you darling you do it so well!
Never apologize for showing heartfelt grief. The loss of those we love is heart-wrenching and it often wells up and comes to the surface when we least expect. I love your videos and enjoy your commentary.
Sorry about your dad man. It's tough. I lost my mom due to her being and alcoholic and what not in 2016 and me being a young age it hit pretty hard but just stay positive. You'll be alright. Life always comes and goes. Enjoy the good moments while you can. 😎
Sorry to hear about that disastrous storm and the other complications that you and your family are going through. Just know that as long as you have life it'll be ok. Hope things change for the best soon. Keep strong friend ❤️🙏🏾
We all have the right to grieve whatever is genuinely hurting us. Loss of loved ones is a void that never gets filled, so, don’t apologize. Thank you for this lovely video. I love Bruce.
When you love deep...you grieve deep. No apologies ever needed. God Bless you and Brucie...and your wife. And God speed on your repairs at home. Much love.
First time ever watching and your honesty and emotion talking about your father moved me to tears. Please don`t ever be sorry for being emotional, in a world filled with anger and hate your love for your dad must never be hid from all the people who watch. May God give you comfort and peace.
You have the best videos I have ever seen. You make camping a lot more relaxing. I know it’s a ton of work for you. I love your long videos.Thanks for all you do.
I hope this awesome video will bring in lots of new subscribers. You and Brucie certainly deserve it!! Love your fireside chats, rants, cooking and everything in between.😍 I hope your insurance people are fair and fast and that repairs to your land/garage start immediately, Tony. You are a stellar gentleman and I admire you. Thank you for being so genuine.♥️
Thank you Tony for sharing what you’ve been through. I’m so sorry it was hard with your father. So many of us love your videos and it always feels like I’m camping there with you. I hope you felt better! Stay strong. I hit all the buttons by the way. Except the thumbs down. Lol.
You know, you bring so much happiness to my life, so I can only imagine how much happiness you bring to others. These last few years have been particularly horrible for so many and those of you who shine light are so precious. Nothing is stabile right now, no one has answers, all of us are grieving if we have hearts. Loss is real and we can all relate. You and Bruce are lights, and cute, and funny, and relatable. You never know what’s going on in someone else’s life - you may be helping them without even knowing it. Take care.
You were there. Physical presence isn’t “being there” for dying as much as leaving them with love & support. Otherwise those of us who have lost loved ones suddenly and without being able to be there physically would be sentenced to a life of guilt. All your dad needed was to know that you loved him. That’s what he took with him. BTW, Cool head, that guy made for you.
Many out here have lost a parent or both while unable to be there with them. It is a heartbreaking situation that deserves an emotional response. We love and admire you for sharing.
I’ve learned to eat a hearty meal before or during viewing the vid lol. That’s got to be the fullest bowl for Brucie we’ve seen to date. Sorry for all your recent troubles, but you’ve certainly got the perfect avocation for restoring your soul. Cheers and carry on. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Love you man. I lost my father at a young age and I couldnt imagine what its like as an adult. Know that youre loved and blessed because I know its hard at times to think that way especially during these past couple years. Love from Hawaii
I’m sorry that you lost your dad. I recently lost my mom so I feel your pain. I was not able to be there with her. I love your videos and the longer the better. Bruce is the best dog ever, just so smart and you are a great dog dad. Your videos are so very clear and I do see snow and rain and the wireless mike is a good asset. I wish that I could be in a spot like this river for camping. I might never leave out
Tony, you and I are very different but similar. I camp 2-3 times a month alone with my dog (Jacob). The realness you expressed during this video is commendable. You should know when I am working and have hours of stressful reports to enter (Aviation industry) I put my ear buds in and one of your long videos on and it gets me through. And then I end up taking a trip the next week lol. From Colorado, keep up the videos.. I love them! And Bruce is lucky to have you, you let him be which is what I do with Jacob and he is fantastically well adjusted. Kisses to Bruce ❤️
The wife loves the long vid's, they keep her sane in between truck camping trips. Well I say sane!!!!! She takes 3 small dogs with her and they all pile into the truck after sitting by the fire, nice and dry under the tarp. And I get a dog free house for the night! Best wishes from Mid Wales
Love all the content you put out. I was so happy to see you and Bruce again. Sorry for your loss, never apologize for being real and truthful. Hope things will get easier and your tears will soon turn into laughter when you think of all the fun times you had with your Dad. I lost both my parents and I get sad sometimes, but more often now I smile when thinking about all the funny, and silly times I shared with them and my siblings growing up. It takes time but It will happen. I thank you for keeping me smiling while watching you and Bruce. THANK YOU!!!
Very sorry about your dad. Don’t be sorry for the tears. Those are real emotions and grieving is important. I enjoy just hanging out while you camp. Makes me look forward to my weekends when I can go camping.
You wanna know what's really awesome man is that with in 45 minutes of the upload it's had almost 800 views already that totally insane an your on fire man keep it up we will keep watching obviously I only subbed a couple months ago and I have been binge watching all your uploads lol cheers from Pennsylvania!
Oh gosh sending you so much love! Thank you for sharing these trips and your thoughts and feelings with us all - really shows the importance of living life positively and smartly as well. These videos are so relaxing and enjoyable but I feel like I gain so much more from them. I'm just 24 and I feel like although I've only recently discovered your channel (already watched SO many videos haha!) you are teaching so much simply through showing your expeditions: your love and care for Bruce, your honest and open personal chats to us all, and the work ethic you have that comes across in your camping and in how you've spoken of your past careers. Lots of love to you and your family, what a wonderful gem of a guy and channel
I adore you and Brucie! Takes alot for anyone to open up and allow yourself to be emotional..I hope that it's been cathartic. Before the pandemic, I used to do alot of solo camping... but now I wish I had a furry camping companion too, especially as a woman. Please keep the videos coming, much appreciated!
I'm also very sorry for what you have went through this year losing your dad, your home being damaged. you're a very strong man and God will give you the strength to go through this time of life.
Thanks! For the memories TONY and BRUCE. I used to do what you do, but am now old, crippled and am no longer able to hike and camp ⛺️. I do enjoy living through you vicariously. THANKS SO MANY TIMES AGAIN!❤
I am 43 years old and I don't know much, however, what I do know is it is never stupid to love or care about another human being or to express that love or hurt over its loss. With that said, crying and mourning the loss of someone that you love is also not stupid, and if anything it is the purest expression of the gratitude you had for being a part of their life and equally them being a part of yours. We have a right to be in pain when we lose someone who was a large part of our lives, so never feel like you owe your audience an apology for expressing your hurt. It takes a special kind of person to express the importance of another person in their life, and anyone who would give you guff for it, really needs an eye opener. Life is simply too short to pretend we are strong when we are not, to pretend we are brave when we don't have to be, or to force our pride to over power our priorities. True strength comes in the discovery that we really don't have strength without one another being a part of each others lives. My heart and kindest sympathies to you and your family in you time of mourning.
A person never knows when grief will hit you and you will get through it in time. Blessings to you as you go through these difficult times with your home loss as well. I really enjoy your channel and the possibilities you present. I’m here in Alaska with my dog Yogi. Keep your chin up 👍
This was a fantastic video , Tony! Such a beautiful location. I love the river there. Bruce always has the best time in that familiar territory. I read recently that Border Collies are the smartest dogs. Certainly a lot of personality! My condolences for the loss of your dad and the damage to your property and business. That was one terrible storm! I’m so happy more folks are discovering your terrific channel! Thanks for all you do for us. Your videos are always very entertaining! Love from your NC girl in the USA❤️🤗, Harriet
I am going camping on tuesday, I hope. Getting all the gear together is a mess, which I hope I can fix before then. Bringing a dog as well ;) Been finding inspiration & motivation. You are awesome! My boy loves pig ears as well!
My sincere condolences on your loss of your father. You are not alone. I'm in the. US and my brother had long covid after traveling for work. Please keep posting as you can, we enjoy you showing your treks and Bruce frolics. Thank you Sir.
Hi mate. Based in London and have been watching your videos the last few months. Your openness and emotion is your strength and you should be proud of how you talk about it. I lost my Dad at just 22 in 2014 and I find the best thing is to talk like you do about it. He’d be proud of you. Keep doing your thing. All the best.
I'm new to the channel, I love your content. You're a very real channel, its raw, less edited and true to how it is. I love camping and you've been a big inspiration so far in reigniting my desire to get out into the great outdoors. I'm so sorry to hear about your Father and the storm damage. You will never forget but in time it is a bit easier to deal with. Thank you for sharing. Always here to listen if its needed even though you've no idea who I am.... Keep up the great work and I look forward to watching your future videos and seeing where nature takes you! P.s. the rain really helps me sleep so I'm sorry that I often fall asleep to your videos 😂😂
Top bloke, top dog, top content. I lost my step-mum in March 2020 to cancer and the funeral was held during the first Victorian restrictions. No one could hug anyone. It was 2 people per pew spaced 2m apart and only 12 people could attend. I'm sorry for your loss, mate. Talking about it and crying seem to be the best way to heal. That took me 40 years to learn. It can be very cathartic if you let it run it's course. Good on ya Tony, keep living life and please keep posting these vids. Cheers from Oz.
I'm going to make a comment before I've finished watching the entire video because you just said something that both irritated and saddened me. You said 'Stupid' about getting emotional over your Dad. There is nothing stupid about being fragile over loosing your father. I lost mine last November, and I was sitting here crying with you. We both loved our Dads and we will both miss them terribly. As it should be. Now - according to the playlist, it's Cigar Time. I need my cigar. I've been waiting.
Loved this video a lot. I definitely relate to a lot of what you said in this video, it's been a hard year. Bless the woods and the earth for giving us Room to get away from it all every now and then.
I've been trying to find some of this miso style bagged salad here in England or at least something similar! I'll keep up the hunt. Really fancy it, yours looked good when you had it
You broke my heart watching your pain as you talked about your father and his passing. I’m so very sorry you’ve had such a horrible year.I pray that in future weeks and months things will be better for you and your family. I love your videos.
Another great video...I felt the emotion when recalling your dad's passing and the destruction from the storms and I send appreciation for your sharing and was happy to see you embrace it and let it pass. I think that the reason you may have comments about the rain is because in some of your vids you have clearly made the sound of the rain on the tarp take precedence. Such was the case in the very first vid that I watched and it hooked me immediately. I am watching from a 21 inch screen and didn't see or hear the rain on the first day although I knew from your and Bruce's appearance that it was so. I am not familiar with NZ at all. What kind of wildlife might be drawn to your smells of delicious food? The break you took around 1:11:33....great visual and sound of the fire burning while you were off camera!
Bruce and I had a great time in all sorts of weather. I'm sorry I got so emotional. Hope you all enjoy. Please be kind with comments as usual. ❤️AB
LOVE YOUR FEED
NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR EMOTIONS. SHARE WHENEVER YOU NEED.
I HAVE A FEW STORIES THAT WOULD RIP YOUR HEART OUT. ONE IN PARTICULAR.

This guy should have way more subscribers, his content is awesome and relaxing! I look forward to every video
I was just about to say that also.
Yes he should, I enjoy every video.
Same here. Just love it
went form 10 to 30k subs when he started these really long awesome videos, will just keep on going up is my guess so Invest all your money in Brucecoin now and get rich
Help him get more subs by sharing the video everywhere!
Real men cry, and show emotion. I personally think it's a beautiful thing, and it's healing. God bless you and Bruce.
You got more then a thumbs up you have my admiration for speaking about such a heartfelt subject. Prayers and love from Hawaii for your dad you and Bruce ❤️

Awesome video. Real, honest and down to earth. More blokes should discuss this type of stuff instead of bottling it up. Thanks for making this. Pancakes looked good.
Cheers Scarchie
Thoughts are with you an family sending all my love as a northerner sending her regards the a fellow brit x
A man and his faithful dog. Beautiful 💝❤️
Chin up Tony, happier days to come for you and your great family.
Thank you for sharing yourself and Brucie. You never have to apologize for showing and sharing your true emotions ❤
Absolutley loving 💚 this video!! THANKS it just wasn't the same without you talking!! Glad to hear your voice!!👍
Okay I never leave comments but 39minutes in hit me hard. First of all, on behalf of myself and everyone here, Thank you for being so transparent in your videos. You're truly are genuine kind person and listening to your stories about life is amazing. My biggest deepest condolences, especially during these hard times. Stay safe!
I always give a thumbs up. I wish I could do what you do, I'm 57 and have nerve damage in my arms and legs I've lost both my parents and miss them every day keep your head high and keep doing the things you do please.
Being emotionally raw isn't stupid. You are grieving and that's okay. You bless us with your vulnerability. Thank you for being real, and for all your amazing videos!
This is why I subscribed to your channel, because you are real. You talk about the hardships you're facing and aren't fearful to shit on poorly manufactored products. Plus, you have good taste in beer.
Thanks for this video, especially when you're going through crappy circumstances.
I love when Bruce is just bounding around in the background of the shot. Just having the best of times in the woods!
3+ hour video!! You're a star Tony, I love these ones!!
Always hits home when you talk about losing your father. Both of my parents are getting on in age, mum has already had cancer (beat it thankfully) and dad is in sharp decline physically. My condolences for your loss.
I have just discovered your videos and I LOVE them! I put them on and feel like I am there with you and Brucie. Thank you for posting these cool videos and all the hard work you put into them.
Aww mate, I teared up with you. Its been a rough 18 months, and some have had it a lot harder than others. I'm so sorry for everything thats going on at the moment. Can't imagine losing my Dad, and in the circumstances that were going on at the time. Praying with you and your lovely family. All the best x
@@charlaynearchambault4801 I’m so so sorry x
Bruce is so adorable all snuggled. Great fun watching.
Tony, I send my condolences to you and your family for the loss of your Father. Never be sorry for being the man you are and showing emotions. I’m also sorry about the health issues you’re having. One the the best therapies ever is being out in nature with your best Bruce. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for just being you. I absolutely love watching you and I'm getting my husband hooked also. He loves that you have a drink and a cigar. I just love to listen to you talk. Bruce of course steals the show!. I love that you can keep a smile on your face when it's pouring down rain... I myself love the rain. Just keep doing you darling you do it so well!
Never apologize for showing heartfelt grief. The loss of those we love is heart-wrenching and it often wells up and comes to the surface when we least expect. I love your videos and enjoy your commentary.
Sorry about your dad man. It's tough. I lost my mom due to her being and alcoholic and what not in 2016 and me being a young age it hit pretty hard but just stay positive. You'll be alright. Life always comes and goes. Enjoy the good moments while you can. 😎
Condolences for the loss of your Father. No more pain and suffering for him. Keep up the good work Tony.
Sorry to hear about that disastrous storm and the other complications that you and your family are going through. Just know that as long as you have life it'll be ok. Hope things change for the best soon. Keep strong friend ❤️🙏🏾
We all have the right to grieve whatever is genuinely hurting us. Loss of loved ones is a void that never gets filled, so, don’t apologize. Thank you for this lovely video. I love Bruce.
3 hours of great peace and joyfully rain ☔ 😍always present 😂.... and naturally Bruce... 🐺❣️
When you love deep...you grieve deep. No apologies ever needed. God Bless you and Brucie...and your wife. And God speed on your repairs at home. Much love.
Love the channel brother and Bruce is just a gem
First time ever watching and your honesty and emotion talking about your father moved me to tears. Please don`t ever be sorry for being emotional, in a world filled with anger and hate your love for your dad must never be hid from all the people who watch. May God give you comfort and peace.
You have the best videos I have ever seen. You make camping a lot more relaxing. I know it’s a ton of work for you. I love your long videos.Thanks for all you do.
I hope this awesome video will bring in lots of new subscribers. You and Brucie certainly deserve it!! Love your fireside chats, rants, cooking and everything in between.😍 I hope your insurance people are fair and fast and that repairs to your land/garage start immediately, Tony. You are a stellar gentleman and I admire you. Thank you for being so genuine.♥️
Cherish your many memories of your dad … It’s ok to cry! 👏🏾
Thank you Tony for sharing what you’ve been through. I’m so sorry it was hard with your father. So many of us love your videos and it always feels like I’m camping there with you. I hope you felt better! Stay strong. I hit all the buttons by the way. Except the thumbs down. Lol.
You know, you bring so much happiness to my life, so I can only imagine how much happiness you bring to others. These last few years have been particularly horrible for so many and those of you who shine light are so precious. Nothing is stabile right now, no one has answers, all of us are grieving if we have hearts. Loss is real and we can all relate. You and Bruce are lights, and cute, and funny, and relatable. You never know what’s going on in someone else’s life - you may be helping them without even knowing it. Take care.
You were there. Physical presence isn’t “being there” for dying as much as leaving them with love & support. Otherwise those of us who have lost loved ones suddenly and without being able to be there physically would be sentenced to a life of guilt. All your dad needed was to know that you loved him. That’s what he took with him.
BTW, Cool head, that guy made for you.
Many out here have lost a parent or both while unable to be there with them. It is a heartbreaking situation that deserves an emotional response. We love and admire you for sharing.
I’ve learned to eat a hearty meal before or during viewing the vid lol. That’s got to be the fullest bowl for Brucie we’ve seen to date. Sorry for all your recent troubles, but you’ve certainly got the perfect avocation for restoring your soul. Cheers and carry on. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Love you man. I lost my father at a young age and I couldnt imagine what its like as an adult. Know that youre loved and blessed because I know its hard at times to think that way especially during these past couple years. Love from Hawaii
I’m sorry that you lost your dad. I recently lost my mom so I feel your pain. I was not able to be there with her. I love your videos and the longer the better. Bruce is the best dog ever, just so smart and you are a great dog dad. Your videos are so very clear and I do see snow and rain and the wireless mike is a good asset. I wish that I could be in a spot like this river for camping. I might never leave out
Thank you so much!
Tony, you and I are very different but similar. I camp 2-3 times a month alone with my dog (Jacob). The realness you expressed during this video is commendable. You should know when I am working and have hours of stressful reports to enter (Aviation industry) I put my ear buds in and one of your long videos on and it gets me through. And then I end up taking a trip the next week lol. From Colorado, keep up the videos.. I love them! And Bruce is lucky to have you, you let him be which is what I do with Jacob and he is fantastically well adjusted. Kisses to Bruce ❤️
The wife loves the long vid's, they keep her sane in between truck camping trips. Well I say sane!!!!! She takes 3 small dogs with her and they all pile into the truck after sitting by the fire, nice and dry under the tarp. And I get a dog free house for the night! Best wishes from Mid Wales
Takes a real man to accept his feelings and shed a tear it's ok man we got u 😁👍
Love all the content you put out. I was so happy to see you and Bruce again. Sorry for your loss, never apologize for being real and truthful. Hope things will get easier and your tears will soon turn into laughter when you think of all the fun times you had with your Dad. I lost both my parents and I get sad sometimes, but more often now I smile when thinking about all the funny, and silly times I shared with them and my siblings growing up. It takes time but It will happen. I thank you for keeping me smiling while watching you and Bruce. THANK YOU!!!
Very sorry about your dad. Don’t be sorry for the tears. Those are real emotions and grieving is important. I enjoy just hanging out while you camp. Makes me look forward to my weekends when I can go camping.
You wanna know what's really awesome man is that with in 45 minutes of the upload it's had almost 800 views already that totally insane an your on fire man keep it up we will keep watching obviously I only subbed a couple months ago and I have been binge watching all your uploads lol cheers from Pennsylvania!
Oh gosh sending you so much love! Thank you for sharing these trips and your thoughts and feelings with us all - really shows the importance of living life positively and smartly as well. These videos are so relaxing and enjoyable but I feel like I gain so much more from them. I'm just 24 and I feel like although I've only recently discovered your channel (already watched SO many videos haha!) you are teaching so much simply through showing your expeditions: your love and care for Bruce, your honest and open personal chats to us all, and the work ethic you have that comes across in your camping and in how you've spoken of your past careers. Lots of love to you and your family, what a wonderful gem of a guy and channel
I adore you and Brucie! Takes alot for anyone to open up and allow yourself to be emotional..I hope that it's been cathartic. Before the pandemic, I used to do alot of solo camping... but now I wish I had a furry camping companion too, especially as a woman. Please keep the videos coming, much appreciated!
Tony, stay strong. This too shall pass. You must constantly turn your setbacks into comebacks.
Michael Dubbels
I'm also very sorry for what you have went through this year losing your dad, your home being damaged. you're a very strong man and God will give you the strength to go through this time of life.
I applaud your strength🤍 we’re here for you & your journey🌱 every word you spoke was genuine, very heartwarming. Plenty of adventures ahead of us🌍
Not sure why your vids are so addicting, but they are! Bruce is the best!! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
I just recently started watching your videos and now I'm hooked. I find them relaxing. I suscribed immediately. Big hugs to you and Bruce. ♥️
Never apologize for having a heart. I miss my dad so much I'm crying with you. 💕
Thanks! For the memories TONY and BRUCE. I used to do what you do, but am now old, crippled and am no longer able to hike and camp ⛺️. I do enjoy living through you vicariously. THANKS SO MANY TIMES AGAIN!❤
Thank you
I am 43 years old and I don't know much, however, what I do know is it is never stupid to love or care about another human being or to express that love or hurt over its loss. With that said, crying and mourning the loss of someone that you love is also not stupid, and if anything it is the purest expression of the gratitude you had for being a part of their life and equally them being a part of yours.
We have a right to be in pain when we lose someone who was a large part of our lives, so never feel like you owe your audience an apology for expressing your hurt. It takes a special kind of person to express the importance of another person in their life, and anyone who would give you guff for it, really needs an eye opener.
Life is simply too short to pretend we are strong when we are not, to pretend we are brave when we don't have to be, or to force our pride to over power our priorities. True strength comes in the discovery that we really don't have strength without one another being a part of each others lives. My heart and kindest sympathies to you and your family in you time of mourning.
A person never knows when grief will hit you and you will get through it in time. Blessings to you as you go through these difficult times with your home loss as well. I really enjoy your channel and the possibilities you present. I’m here in Alaska with my dog Yogi. Keep your chin up 👍
This was a fantastic video , Tony! Such a beautiful location. I love the river there. Bruce always has the best time in that familiar territory. I read recently that Border Collies are the smartest dogs. Certainly a lot of personality! My condolences for the loss of your dad and the damage to your property and business. That was one terrible storm! I’m so happy more folks are discovering your terrific channel! Thanks for all you do for us. Your videos are always very entertaining! Love from your NC girl in the USA❤️🤗, Harriet
You should never apologize for being human and sharing your pain. Wishing you and our wife + Bruce all the best!!
I am going camping on tuesday, I hope. Getting all the gear together is a mess, which I hope I can fix before then. Bringing a dog as well ;) Been finding inspiration & motivation. You are awesome! My boy loves pig ears as well!
my deepest condolences to you on the loss of your father. Your pain is so incredibly deep, I pray for peace and the complete healing of your heart
I absolutely love border collies and Bruce is one handsome dude.
My sincere condolences on your loss of your father. You are not alone. I'm in the. US and my brother had long covid after traveling for work.
Please keep posting as you can, we enjoy you showing your treks and Bruce frolics.
Thank you Sir.
"Time heals all wounds
But scars of the heart last forever " TWB...God Bless you and your family I hope thing's get better for you and family soon
The dog alone deserves a thumbs up. Hang in there mate tough times don't last tough blokes do.
Glad to see you’re both back. Hope the damage at home was manageable. As always, cheers from Canada and belly rubs for Bruce.
Hi mate. Based in London and have been watching your videos the last few months. Your openness and emotion is your strength and you should be proud of how you talk about it. I lost my Dad at just 22 in 2014 and I find the best thing is to talk like you do about it. He’d be proud of you. Keep doing your thing. All the best.
I'm new to the channel, I love your content. You're a very real channel, its raw, less edited and true to how it is.
I love camping and you've been a big inspiration so far in reigniting my desire to get out into the great outdoors.
I'm so sorry to hear about your Father and the storm damage. You will never forget but in time it is a bit easier to deal with. Thank you for sharing. Always here to listen if its needed even though you've no idea who I am....
Keep up the great work and I look forward to watching your future videos and seeing where nature takes you!
P.s. the rain really helps me sleep so I'm sorry that I often fall asleep to your videos 😂😂
Top bloke, top dog, top content. I lost my step-mum in March 2020 to cancer and the funeral was held during the first Victorian restrictions. No one could hug anyone. It was 2 people per pew spaced 2m apart and only 12 people could attend.
I'm sorry for your loss, mate. Talking about it and crying seem to be the best way to heal. That took me 40 years to learn. It can be very cathartic if you let it run it's course.
Good on ya Tony, keep living life and please keep posting these vids.
Cheers from Oz.
I'm going to make a comment before I've finished watching the entire video because you just said something that both irritated and saddened me. You said 'Stupid' about getting emotional over your Dad. There is nothing stupid about being fragile over loosing your father. I lost mine last November, and I was sitting here crying with you. We both loved our Dads and we will both miss them terribly. As it should be.
Now - according to the playlist, it's Cigar Time. I need my cigar. I've been waiting.
Loved this video a lot. I definitely relate to a lot of what you said in this video, it's been a hard year. Bless the woods and the earth for giving us Room to get away from it all every now and then.
I've been trying to find some of this miso style bagged salad here in England or at least something similar! I'll keep up the hunt. Really fancy it, yours looked good when you had it
You broke my heart watching your pain as you talked about your father and his passing. I’m so very sorry you’ve had such a horrible year.I pray that in future weeks and months things will be better for you and your family. I love your videos.
Another great video...I felt the emotion when recalling your dad's passing and the destruction from the storms and I send appreciation for your sharing and was happy to see you embrace it and let it pass. I think that the reason you may have comments about the rain is because in some of your vids you have clearly made the sound of the rain on the tarp take precedence. Such was the case in the very first vid that I watched and it hooked me immediately. I am watching from a 21 inch screen and didn't see or hear the rain on the first day although I knew from your and Bruce's appearance that it was so. I am not familiar with NZ at all. What kind of wildlife might be drawn to your smells of delicious food? The break you took around 1:11:33....great visual and sound of the fire burning while you were off camera!
These are the reality shows I like to watch. Your videos and your dog is awesome.
